Chapter 9 Counting Money
He Wenqing was handsome and well-mannered, completely different from the men Song Baozhu had seen in the countryside.
In her previous life, when he was already an elegant middle-aged military officer, she had already fallen deeply in love with him.
Now that he is young and handsome, her eyes and heart are full of him.
This is also an important reason why she went to great lengths to drive Song Youyou away.
Although she was replaced by He Wenqing in a childhood marriage, and He Wenqing was now her legitimate future husband, she was still afraid that He Wenqing would still be thinking about Song Youyou.
"Have you all finished your meal?" He Wenqing turned sideways and looked into the room, his eyes seeming to be searching for something.
Song Baozhu, with stars in her eyes, didn't notice it.
She twisted her body and leaned into He Wenqing's arms, "Brother Wenqing, my dad hates me for not eating the food I cook. I'm so sad..."
Song Baozhu complained to him coquettishly, wanting him to comfort her.
But she waited for a long time and there was no response.
"Brother Wenqing?" Song Baozhu grabbed his clothes and shook them hard.
The white shirt that He Wenqing had tucked into his pants was pulled out, and only then did he come to his senses.
Seeing her approaching, he couldn't help but take two steps back and support her body with his hands.
Song Baozhu continued to ask in a low voice: "Brother Wenqing, do you also dislike me~"
He Wenqing was silent.
Does he dislike it?
How could he not be disgusted when his childhood sweetheart was changed from a lively and beautiful girl to Song Baozhu who had just returned from the countryside?
However, thinking of his sick father and frail mother at home, he couldn't help but despise them.
His father was once an official with a higher status and more promising future than Song's father.
But once he fell ill and was forced to apply for medical retirement, his career and connections all disappeared, and the He family became worse and worse.
As the only male in the He family, he is the only one who can support the He family.
In the past few years, Song's father has been promoted step by step and has become a city-level cadre, the highest official he can come into contact with.
Therefore, the Song family’s marriage cannot be cancelled.
This is also what his father told him while he was lying in bed.
"Of course you don't mind." He Wenqing frowned and coaxed perfunctorily.
"Where's your sister?"
He looked out the door for a while, but didn't see the familiar figure.
Song Baozhu's shy face froze, and immediately turned into anger: "You still miss her?"
"No." He Wenqing frowned, making it impossible to tell his emotions.
"Didn't she fall into the water today? You stopped me from rescuing her. I've been feeling guilty ever since I got back, so I wanted to ask about her situation. After all, we're all family."
"Humph! We are no longer a family. The Song family has severed ties with her and she has been kicked out!"
"What? Kick her out of the Song family? Then where can she go?!"
When He Wenqing heard the news, he was a little out of control.
When Song Baozhu saw him like this, the anger in her heart was almost burning to her hair.
His hatred for Song Youyou also deepened.
Song Youyou had no idea that she was becoming the center of other people's conversation.
She is currently... counting money.
After finishing his meal, Gu Xiao lingered for a while before finally leaving.
When she had some free time, she took out all the things Gu Xiao gave her and counted them.
He gave a house deed and two passbooks.
The title deed is to the room she currently lives in.
As for the passbook, one contained his allowance from the army over the years, totaling 850 yuan.
The other one was the pocket money he had saved since he was a child, which totaled about 2,000 yuan.
On top of that he gave me about ten thousand yuan in change, which added up to almost 3,000 yuan.
"..." Song Youyou suddenly found that she seemed to be hugging a very thick thigh.
Even if she didn't go to work, and just stayed by his side as a salted fish, she seemed to be able to live a worry-free life.
Song Youyou chuckled softly at her own luck, then put Gu Xiao's house deed and passbook into the drawer and locked it with the key.
Only some meat coupons, cloth coupons and cash were left to use.
Since she has decided to live with him, she won't be so coy as to not use his money.
However, she still has to make money, and in the end everyone will contribute half of the money for living expenses.
After all, she was not with Gu Xiao out of love, and Gu Xiao was just attracted to her. It was hard to say how far the two of them could go.
Therefore, she wanted to sort these things out more clearly, so that if there was a day when they had to separate, they wouldn't be too deeply involved and could gather and separate at will.
Thinking of this, Song Youyou immediately became eager to make money.
Having enough money can make people calm and at ease, and it is a person's greatest reliance and fallback.
It was still a special period during the Cultural Revolution, when private transactions were not allowed. If one wanted to make money, country people relied on farming, while city people relied on working.
After she left the Song family, she had no connections and no money, so it was extremely difficult for her to find a decent job.
This way, she only has one way to make money.
