Luo Qianyu clasped his left wrist, and the 120-yuan jeweled watch felt a little hot.

She suddenly understood why tonight's meal, except for the leftovers, was mainly sweet potatoes.

"Mom, don't you save money? You spend it all when you need it? Don't you think of ways to earn more money?"

"Lu Jiuchuan, you don't usually make plans? As long as you spend what you need, it doesn't matter if you spend all the money? How are you going to live your life if you don't want to?"

She threw out question after question.

Zhang Guifen and Lu Jiuchuan, mother and son, stared at each other and then nodded at her.

They have always lived like this and don't think there is anything wrong with it.

Luo Qianyu slapped his forehead.

Is this what the daughters of landlords in the old society looked like?

Zhang Guifen was impatient and couldn't help asking:

"Just say what you want to say. Why are you beating around the bush? That's not the way it works in our family."

Luo Qianyu thought about it and decided that this was a good idea. She also liked to have things laid out in the open.

"Mom, as a new daughter-in-law, I shouldn't tell you what to do, but since you asked me to speak frankly, I won't be polite."

"Before, as long as I stayed at home and worked hard, I wouldn't go hungry. But I see my younger brothers and sisters are all studying, and they will definitely go to higher places in the future, so we have to prepare in advance."

"In addition, a family must also be able to withstand risks. Otherwise, if something happens, do we have to borrow money from outside?"

Lu Jiuchuan had never taken care of the household. He just gave the money to his family and never thought about these things.

He thought Luo Qianyu was worried that his life would be difficult in the future.

"Comrade Luo Qianyu..."

As soon as he opened his mouth, Zhang Guifen frowned and glanced at him, so he immediately changed his address:

"Ahem~ Ah Yu, don't worry about the money. I will find a way to earn it and give it back to you. I will never let you suffer."

Zhang Guifen didn't expect that her daughter-in-law, who was young and small, could speak so eloquently.

It seems different from the poor little thing I saw at Luo’s house last night.

She nodded and looked at Luo Qianyu seriously:

"There is some truth to it. When your father passed away, I borrowed money from your grandmother. I was so humble and it was very painful."

"But isn't money meant to be spent? Shouldn't you spend it when you should, or save it to buy a coffin?"

"Don't even mention my brothers and sisters. If I can support them through school and let them start a family, I will have accomplished my mission. My descendants will have their own blessings in the future."

Luo Qianyu sighed. It was not easy to change the long-standing inherent thinking of her mother-in-law and Lu Jiuchuan.

But now that she's married, and this family seems pretty good, she doesn't mind giving it a try.

"Of course, there is no need to save money where it is necessary, but we can try to spend money wisely when we are not well off, depending on our family situation."

"The country is developing rapidly, and this year we have reformed and opened up. The days ahead will definitely be different."

"We should not only save money, but also seize this great opportunity to make money and put the money in our hands in more valuable places."

"I tell you, in one or two years, we will open up to individual businesses, which means ordinary people can start their own businesses and also engage in contracting."

"We have kept up with the rapid development and taken advantage of the reform and opening-up policy to become the first to become rich in the country."

She knew the male protagonist Lu Jiuchuan and was sure that he would be able to find business opportunities in the near future.

But now that she is here, she has to do something to realize her own value.

So Lu Jiuchuan and his mother were encouraged.

There was a little more affection in Lu Jiuchuan's eyes when he looked at her.

In Zhang Guifen's opinion, the young wife's words were passionate.

She prides herself on being an educated and sensible person, so of course her mind works quickly.

"If that's the case, that's great. But how did you know all this?"

This question left Luo Qianyu speechless, so he could only speak randomly:

"I read the policy reports in the newspaper and made my own thoughts, but I guarantee it's not wrong."

"Lu Jiuchuan, you came into the city with me yesterday. You should feel that the county town has changed a bit since the last time you went there, right?"

"I read in the newspaper that Beijing, Guangzhou and Shanghai have undergone even greater changes, so I believe that they will develop rapidly in the future."

"We are riding the wave of the times and want to make money from it, and then it will snowball into more and more money."

Luo Qianyu got himself excited by what he said, and became more and more excited the more he spoke.

She didn't realize that under the dim kerosene lamp, her almond-shaped eyes were brighter than the light.

Lu Jiuchuan fell into those eyes:

"Okay, I'll listen to you. Anyway, you will be in charge of the money from now on."

Zhang Guifen was also a straightforward person, and she immediately pulled out the small cloth bag from her waist.

He rummaged around inside and then turned the cloth bag upside down.

"Mom, that's all we have. Just use it to make money and make it snowball."

"It's settled. Now tell me, are you going to move out and separate or what?"

Lu Jiuchuan looked at Luo Qianyu and waited for her to make the decision.

Luo Qianyu thought about it and felt that his two brothers-in-law were not nosy, his mother-in-law was a straightforward person, and Lu Siman was even smarter and cuter.

She has never lived in a normal family, and feels pretty good in this one for the time being.

Then he shook his head gently:

"Mom, Lu Jiuchuan, we won't move. Let's live together first. We'll make other plans when my second brother and his family start a family."

"Okay, if you feel uncomfortable with anything, just let me know at any time." Zhang Guifen nodded.

Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something, lowered her voice and leaned forward:

"When the situation calms down, I'll take out the old things I hid and use them to make money for you."

Luo Qianyu was shocked.

The old items collected by the daughters of landlords in the old society are probably all valuable antiques.

"Mom, you have to hide those things. Now is not the time to take them out."

She curled her lips, and her expression suddenly became a little unhappy:

"How could mom not know? I managed to get through the most difficult years."

Luo Qianyu spent a day with her and found that she was straightforward and easy to guess.

I smiled and agreed with her.

She smiled with satisfaction and pointed at the money on the table:

"Since we are not going to split up the family, you will be in charge of all the money in the family from now on. I will also give you the account I kept tomorrow."

"I only have one request. You still have to keep track of the accounts. Your brother and sister-in-law should pay you back for what they owe you."

The more she talked, the happier she became.

She used to spend money lavishly. When she was at her parents' home, she was managed by the accountant and her parents. After she got married, she was managed by her old man.

Later, the old man passed away. She was left to raise several children and take care of the household by herself. No matter how she managed the money, she always felt it was not right.

Now she no longer has to worry about it. Her eldest son has married a good wife.

Luo Qianyu was embarrassed to take it.

It is said that a daughter-in-law will eventually become a mother-in-law. Nowadays, when a new daughter-in-law comes into the family, she is always under the care of her mother-in-law. Many people have to wait until their mother-in-law is buried before they can be considered to have succeeded.

Why is it the other way around for her?

"Mom, I can take care of our own little family, but I'll pay for your food expenses every month, okay?"

"I'm not afraid of burdening myself, but I'm worried that my brothers and sisters might have objections, or that it would be difficult for them to get along after they get married."

Zhang Guifen stood up, put her hands on her hips and stared.

Standing in front of Luo Qianyu, he was half a head taller than her and twice her size, giving her a very oppressive feeling:

"Who dares to object? If anyone is unhappy, I will kick him out and make him live on his own."

"It's settled. From now on, all our family's money will be under your control. Everyone must hand it over."

"Okay, I'm going back to my room to sleep. I have to go to work tomorrow."

After saying that, he strode away, very briskly.

Luo Qianyu felt a little helpless looking at the money on the table, but he still liked his mother-in-law quite a bit.

But Lu Jiuchuan had already started unbuttoning his clothes, one by one...

Take off the outer clothes, revealing the white vest underneath.

The muscle lines on his upper body were as perfect as sculptures. His big hand touched the belt around his narrow waist and unfastened it with a "click".

"What are you going to do?"

Luo Qianyu asked in a daze.

The first thing that answered her was the sound of a man unzipping his pants.
