Chapter 14: The Yang Family's Daughter-in-law
"Scissors, needle and thread, flowered cloth, gray cloth, soap, candy, canned goods..."
There were half a basket full of odds and ends, which made Lin Wanwan dazzled.
"Can a fish be exchanged for so many things?"
Lin Wanwan was a little puzzled. According to 3628's analysis, it would have been great to be able to exchange it for cloth, but she didn't expect there would be so many things.
"Everyone in the Yang family can keep one work point as their own money every day. You may not know this since you just married in."
"My money has always been with my parents. Tonight, because I have to go to the black market, my mother returned our family's private money to me."
As Yang Qingfeng spoke, he took out a cloth bag from his arms, which was filled with neatly wrapped banknotes.
"It's all here. I'll leave it to you for safekeeping from now on!"
Lin Wanwan was stunned for a moment when she saw the money stuffed into her hand.
It turns out that this is the trading currency of this world. It’s really amazing!
Such a small piece of paper can actually be exchanged for so many supplies.
"This is what you worked so hard to save. Is it really appropriate to give it to me like this?"
Knowing the meaning of these banknotes, Lin Wanwan naturally liked them, but she was a little hesitant. She couldn't exploit the fruits of someone's labor just by getting married, right?
"There's nothing inappropriate about it. Take it. From now on, all the private money in our house will be under your control!"
Yang Qingfeng found the little girl's innocent and foolish eyes somewhat amusing.
What kind of family did this girl grow up in? She actually thinks it's embarrassing for a woman to manage a man's money!
[Host, please put it away quickly. This is how the world works. Men work outside and women work inside. You should keep this money.]
3628 couldn't bear it and quickly reminded Lin Wanwan in her mind.
【Oh, so that's how it is! 】
"Then I'll keep the money. Don't worry, I'm very good at hiding things. I guarantee no one will find it."
Lin Wanwan already knew that this banknote was a valuable item and must be kept carefully.
In fact, she has a secret that no one knows, not even before 3628.
That is, Lin Wanwan has a storage space, which was left by her mother.
The reason why he was able to live to the age of 18 alone was because of the supplies stored in this storage space.
Although the food and drinks inside had been almost used up, it was now empty, with almost nothing left except some strange items that had been put in there before.
But this is the memory her mother left her, and Lin Wanwan has always kept it carefully.
"I trust you to do your job!"
"Would you like some candy? This is some fruit candy shipped from the provincial capital. I heard people in the city love it!"
Yang Qingfeng opened the bag of candy, took out a candy and handed it to Lin Wanwan.
"Um!"
“You eat too!”
Lin Wanwan never refuses anything edible.
If you refuse it today, who knows if you can still eat it tomorrow? Instead of doing that, you might as well enjoy it now.
"I don't like candy, you can keep it and eat it slowly!"
Yang Qingfeng buckled the bag of sugar again and pushed it in front of Lin Wanwan.
He bought this specially to please his wife, so how could he eat it by himself?
"Okay then, I'll keep them all!"
Yang Qingfeng said that he didn't like to eat, and Lin Wanwan believed it to be true, so she packed up all the things and rewrapped them.
"Do you want to wash the handles?"
While packing up, he did not forget to remind Yang Qingfeng.
There was some mud on Yang Qingfeng's hands just now, probably because he fell halfway.
She was too embarrassed to expose the other person's embarrassment, so she just gave a kind reminder.
"Put your things away, I'll go wash my hands."
Yang Qingfeng didn't care about what his young wife said. He turned around and left the house.
After everyone left, Lin Wanwan put the cloth and needles and thread in the cabinet, and the candy and banknotes in the space.
Important things must be carried with you at all times; this is Lin Wanwan’s life motto.
Yang Qingfeng came back soon. When he came in, he saw that his young wife was already lying on the bed and was almost asleep.
[You stayed up so late just to see what I brought back? ]
Looking at his young wife's profile with her even breathing, Yang Qingfeng closed the door helplessly and climbed onto the bed.
He simply tidied up the mosquito net. He felt a little tired after this trip.
The young couple fell asleep quickly, but the light in the upper room was not turned off.
"Old man, do you think our third daughter-in-law is a little weird?"
Lin Wanwan had only been married for one day when some changes took place in the Yang family. Although the changes were not big, they made Cai Guifen alert.
"The third daughter-in-law is just a little luckier. There are people like her in this world."
"Some people can find money even when walking on the street, while others are so poor that they can never have a full meal in their entire lives."
"I think that girl's luck has turned. All the bad luck is over. What's left is good luck!"
Old man Yang didn't think it was a big deal. They say that good times will come after bad times, and there was nothing wrong with the third son's wife.
"But this is too good of a luck. Who can dig so many wild vegetables? Who can pick so many mushrooms that they can't dry them in the yard?"
Cai Guifen was still a little confused, and she didn't dare to say anything about the ghosts, but her husband, Old Man Yang, understood.
"You, stop imagining that!"
"Even if it's what you think, has the Third Old Wife ever harmed anyone in our family since she came here?"
"As long as she's good to us and brings prosperity to our family, who cares what she is?"
"What's more, the leader has said that we must overthrow evil spirits. We can't have such feudal ideas."
Old man Yang felt helpless about his wife's anxiety, but after all, she was his wife with whom he had spent most of his life, so he had to enlighten her no matter what.
The family might be fine without Old Yang, but it would be really chaotic without his wife.
Old man Yang usually doesn't like to take care of trivial matters at home, so it has always been Cai Guifen who takes care of them.
He was very satisfied with his wife, who was capable, hardworking, and kept the house and outside in tidy order.
The children are also healthy both physically and mentally, and have no resentment or hatred.
All he had to do was earn work points and do his job well. This kind of life made him feel simple and relaxed.
"Oh, maybe I'm thinking too much!"
"There's still a lot of time left, so let's just wait and see."
The two chatted for more than an hour before gradually falling silent.
The lights in the upper room went out quickly. Even if they were not sleeping, no one would be willing to keep the lights on all night.
As a ray of light rose from the horizon, the whole earth came back to life.
“Ohhh…”
As the crowing of roosters from every household rang out, the village gradually became lively.
The sound of a crying child, a barking dog, a mother-in-law scolding her lazy daughter-in-law...
