Chapter 040 The eyes are too hot
His gaze was too hot, and Su Wan could feel it immediately.
She looked at Chen Yuan with blushing cheeks, gently twisting the corners of her clothes with her hands, wanting to say something but not knowing how to start.
After a long while, Chen Yuan finally chuckled and replied, "Okay, when we have enough money, we'll go home and build a house. What kind of house do you want to build then?"
"What do you think of building a small Western-style house?"
Su Wan blinked, "Let's make more money, and then we'll build one, my eldest brother will build one, and my three brothers will each build one."
"How much does that cost?"
Chen Yuan patted her head and said, "Actually, we can build the houses together. There's no need to separate them. This is how the brothers in the village build their houses."
After all, his thinking was still stuck in the 1980s, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with the family building houses together. Besides, their brothers had a good relationship, their family was harmonious, and it would be lively living together.
Su Wan understood what he meant in an instant.
He said, "Brothers may develop rifts over time, not to mention that my eldest brother will get married in the future. But if you think it's unnecessary, then we can build a building first and then buy a larger piece of land, just in case."
She had no intention of refuting Chen Yuan. After all, no one knew what would happen in the future.
Chen Yuan seemed to sense that she really felt this way, and asked in a serious tone, "Wanwan, why do you think there will be unpleasantness between us and Big Brother?"
"I don't think we'll have any bad luck with my eldest brother, but I do believe in the saying that things that are far away are more fragrant than things that are close. If we get married, and he marries my sister-in-law and she thinks we should get half of our earnings, what would you think?"
This was a common idea among many families in the 1980s.
Since they haven't divided the family business, the money they earn should be taken home to their parents-in-law to keep, used for household expenses, and then divided equally among them after the family business is divided.
But the money was earned by her hard work. Su Wan felt that if Chen Yuan said that the money should be divided equally, she might directly consider divorce.
Seeing Su Wan's serious expression, Chen Yuan realized that she was not joking.
With a serious expression, he said, "This money is all earned by you. I have no right to ask you to split it equally. You can keep the money you earn for yourself and don't have to give it to me. But I may send some of it back home."
Chen Yuan has always been like this, sending part of his salary back home and keeping part for himself, and he doesn't think there is anything wrong with doing so. However, he can't ask Su Wan to send the money she earns back home against his conscience.
"So, you still don't understand what I mean?" Su Wan asked.
"What?"
Looking at Su Wan in confusion, Chen Yuan belatedly realized, "You mean to say that you and I have disagreements over money, and that's why you don't want to share money with your family?"
Su Wan nodded.
She said, "Chen Yuan, even we as a couple would have such thoughts, let alone others. I can start a business with my brothers, but I still say what I said before. Even if it's our closest relatives, we must keep our distance so that we don't have conflicts over money in the future."
"I was inconsiderate. I'll listen to you from now on."
Chen Yuan really didn't think too much about it. After all, for him, a monthly salary of more than 100 yuan divided into two parts was enough to support a large family.
With prices so low these days, it's not surprising he'd have such thoughts. After all, those diligent farmers only make two or three hundred yuan a year. If they gave all that to the head of the household, there would be a quarrel over who got an extra piece of meat...
Thinking of this, Chen Yuan also broke out in a cold sweat.
He actually had an indifferent thought just now, forgetting how Su Wan did business in such a difficult environment. The fat man became so thin in just half a year that he could be blown away by the wind.
"I'm sorry, Wanwan. I wasn't considerate enough. I..."
"It's okay. I understand your feelings. It's just like I hope my family will be better off when I'm rich."
"I will gradually improve my thinking. You work so hard to set up the stall and buy goods, and you are so tired every day. I shouldn't be so selfish."
Chen Yuan could feel that Su Wan was unhappy for a moment just now.
He was a person who was very good at observing people's expressions and could see the fleeting disappointment in Su Wan's eyes.
"Take it slow. After all, we haven't been together that long. I hope we can get used to each other more."
Running-in is sometimes equivalent to trial and error.
Although Chen Yuan's academic performance was not very good, he still had a junior high school diploma. His eyes dimmed, but he didn't say anything.
For the first time, he felt that Su Wan seemed different from when she was in the village.
Now she has become more independent-minded and has her own set of ideas. It seems that the two of them are often not on the same side.
"If I do something wrong, please tell me and I will improve it."
What Chen Yuan said was very meaningful, and Su Wan would not really not understand what he meant.
He hummed softly, but didn't say anything else.
The charm between the two people disappeared, and sitting together, it was a bit more awkward.
Su Wan couldn't stand this kind of atmosphere and ran to cook.
This time, Chen Yuan did not deliberately move forward, but was seriously thinking about the meaning of Su Wan's words just now.
He clearly felt the toughness in Su Wan's tone just now, as if if the two of them couldn't reach a united front, she would divorce him the next moment.
Su Wan, who was picking vegetables, was also unusually confused.
She doesn't mind helping the people around her when she has money, but if Chen Yuan wants to treat all the money he earns as family money, she may really not be able to accept it.
Before her rebirth, she read some books from the 1980s and 1990s for some designs. Later, she became fascinated by many novels about being reborn in the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s. In her spare time, she also learned a lot about this era.
But she still couldn't accept that the money she earned had to be divided equally with Chen Yuan's elder brother, even if others pointed at her and said she was stingy.
Just when my thoughts were a little confused, Chen Yuan's faint voice came from behind me.
"We have some ideological differences. Perhaps it's because I haven't been well-educated. But don't worry, I will reflect on myself. I just don't want you to think about divorce just because we disagree."
Su Wan was stunned.
How could Chen Yuan know that she just felt irritated for a moment and wanted a divorce?
Perhaps influenced by later generations, when two people have different ideas, the first thing they think about is divorce.
communicate?
It doesn't exist!
She may not necessarily want a divorce, but she will question such a marriage relationship. After all, what she wants is a love based on mutual understanding and respect, not something she says but won't change.
