Gu Changzheng still couldn't figure out what the explosion of Lu Huaiyu's head had to do with Lu Huaijiao going to work.
But it was wet and slippery outside, and the wind made it cold; he really didn't want her to go.
He held her shoulders and helped her sit back on the bed: "Jiaojiao, it's raining today, so it's not a good day for you to go to work."
"Not going to work?"
"Okay, you have to go to work. How about we go when the weather clears up?"
Gu Changzheng may be the first person in history to advise his wife to be lazy at home.
Lu Huaijiao thought about how the paddy field embankment was wet and slippery, and how she could easily slip and fall into the field, getting covered in mud. Even if she was lucky enough not to fall in, the mud on her feet would be very difficult to wash off...
Well, after careful consideration, Lu Huaijiao still felt that Gu Changzheng was right.
Today is not a good day to go to work.
However, she had just said that she wanted to be a diligent person, so she absolutely couldn't compromise just because Gu Changzheng said that. At least not on the surface.
She snorted and glanced sideways at Gu Changzheng.
"Gu Laosi, you don't want to go to work yourself, and you don't want me to go either, do you? Are you afraid that I'll be too hardworking and outdo you?"
Gu Changzheng: ...
That's not what I meant at all.
But seeing the little girl's whining and whining, he wouldn't have any objections, even if she said the sun shines at night, let alone if she was calling a deer a horse.
I dare not have any objections.
"Yes, I'm just too embarrassed to be lazy by myself, so I wanted Jiaojiao to keep me company." He paused, observing Lu Huaijiao's expression, and seeing that she was about to burst with smugness, he softened his tone and continued, "So, dear Jiaojiao, how about staying home and keeping your fourth brother company while you're being lazy?"
Gu Changzheng's attitude was humble enough.
Looking at Gu Changzheng's longing expression, Lu Huaijiao felt that it would be too cruel for him to go to work. She ignored the noisy voice in her head urging her to go to work and nodded her noble head with composure.
"Alright, I'll agree since you're so pitiful."
"But remember, this is a one-time exception! I won't allow you to slack off again."
Lu Huaijiao walked arrogantly to a stool, sat down, took out the box they used to store money, poured out all the money inside and counted it. There was only a little over a hundred yuan in total, less than two hundred yuan.
"Only this much money?"
Lu Huaijiao pouted, her brows furrowed, and she was unhappy.
Gu Changzheng found a pencil and a notebook and was writing and drawing when he heard Lu Huaijiao's words. He looked up at her.
"What's wrong? What do you want to buy?"
"Give it to Mom."
Lu Huaijiao put the money she had just counted together with the two hundred yuan she received from the family division: "Mom was so sad just now, we should give her some money to cheer her up."
Gu Changzheng: ...
The little troublemaker has a rather unique way of comforting people.
"So how much money do you want to give Mom?"
"It should be at least five hundred yuan, right? How can anyone be happy with so little money?" Lu Huaijiao frowned. She really didn't think that a small amount of money could make someone happy.
Five hundred yuan is the minimum amount she can accept.
Gu Changzheng rubbed his forehead.
"Jiaojiao..."
"Don't tell me you can't even give Mom this little bit of money? Gu Changzheng, if you're as stingy as your other brothers, I'll divorce you."
Lu Huaijiao glared at her with her round eyes, put her hands on her hips, and began to threaten her.
Gu Changzheng was both amused and exasperated.
He didn't mean that at all.
"I just wanted to ask if I could borrow some money to make up five hundred for Mom?"
"Gu Changzheng, you don't even have a hundred yuan?"
Lu Huaijiao couldn't believe it.
Is her man really that poor?
Gu Changzheng's lips twitched slightly: "It's not that there isn't, it's just..."
"You still have a secret stash of money?"
Lu Huaijiao interrupted Gu Changzheng.
Gu Changzheng: ...
It seemed like everything he said was wrong? Seeing Lu Huaijiao's luscious red lips move as if she was about to speak again, Gu Changzheng leaned forward, placed his hands on the table on either side of her, and sealed her luscious red lips with his thin lips.
Lu Huaijiao's eyes were wide open.
Gu Changzheng, is he acting recklessly in broad daylight?
…………
In May, the rain can last for several days at a time.
By the time the weather cleared up completely, six days had passed since the Gu family split up.
It's mid-May now.
Lu Huaijiao finally went to work today.
She originally thought that not working meant a wonderful life of eating, sleeping, and eating again. But she never imagined that rest days would be so much more tiring than working days.
Especially Gu Changzheng, that rough man, was busy renovating their house during the day, and after dinner he couldn't stay idle either, constantly working on Lu Huaijiao's land.
In Gu Changzheng's words, if you want children, you have to be hardworking, because hard work pays off.
However, Lu Huaijiao felt that Gu Changzheng was being far too diligent.
He wouldn't let her go to sleep until the rooster crowed first every day, and the next day, unsurprisingly, she slept until late morning, eating lunch and breakfast together...
This went on for several days in a row, and even someone as shameless as Lu Huaijiao started to feel a little embarrassed.
The only good thing is that they've separated now, and Xu Honglian will no longer care when she gets up.
For this reason, Lu Huaijiao reluctantly tolerated Gu Changzheng's tireless efforts.
"Hey, Changzheng's wife? You're at work today?"
An aunt saw Lu Huaijiao and greeted her with a smile.
Lu Huaijiao nodded with a sweet smile on her face.
"Yes, Auntie. I had some things to take care of at home a few days ago, so I took a few days off."
As soon as she finished speaking, the number 998 echoed in her mind.
'Something came up at home? Are you sure you're not just trying to slack off?'
The phrase "998" carries a hint of resentment.
It's no wonder it was angry; after all, it was its first time with a host, and anyone would want to make a big splash. 998 was no exception. When it first bound itself to Lu Huaijiao, it envisioned a bright future together. (Gu Changzheng: ???? What bright future?) But unexpectedly, Lu Huaijiao was disappointing!
Even such deep-seated hatred couldn't overcome her inherent laziness.
This left the system feeling extremely frustrated.
Therefore, when it was released after being blocked for several days, it inevitably carried resentment.
Lu Huaijiao clicked her tongue twice in her mind.
I'm having a conversation with 998 in my head.
'Isn't it because you haven't figured out the rules for earning points yet? I stayed home to rest specifically to wait for you, and you don't even appreciate my good intentions? You've really disappointed me.'
'It's 998!'
998 was even angrier.
It's bad enough that it encountered the laziest host in history, but it even got its name wrong? That's unforgivable!
'Okay, I got it, 999.'
Lu Huaijiao gave a perfunctory reply.
A system named 998: ...
He died on the spot!
'Lu Huaijiao, I want to untie you! Now! Immediately! Right now!'
