After Aunt Fu left, Fu Qing never dared to close the door again.
Li Xu took out the twenty yuan he had just given her and handed it over, saying unhappily, "Put it away quickly."
Fu Qing knew he was acting for his mother, so he reached out to take it and said as he walked towards the cabinet, "Old Li, go keep an eye on the door for me."
Seeing his actions, Li Xu was shocked. "Are you planning to hide the money back where you just hid it?"
"Yeah, after today, my mom will basically never come into this room. Even if she does, she won't rummage through the cabinets. It's very safe."
"It's safe and your wife won't find out?"
Hearing this, Fu Qing, who had already squatted down, stopped moving, turned his head and asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"
"You're such a pig-brained person." Li Xu couldn't help but curse, then he began to explain, "Can you guarantee that she won't know what happened after she walks in? If she finds out and then discovers the money, she'll definitely associate it with me. Then she'll have you in her clutches."
pay off:...
He understood what Li Xu meant.
My original plan was that if Ye Hongmei found out about the money, I would say that my parents gave it to me secretly. That way, anyone with a brain would not say anything in front of my family.
Originally, this was a good idea, but his mother found out that Li Xu gave him money.
No matter which of the two things Ye Hongmei knew, she could cover it up.
But I'm afraid she knows everything.
Otherwise, let alone her sharp mind, anyone else would probably doubt the source of the money.
Once she finds out the truth, will I still be able to live a good life in the future?
I guess you can't even speak loudly in front of her!
Thinking of this, he immediately started searching in the house, and asked Li Xu to help him find a suitable place to hide the money.
Li Xu didn't move, and said directly, "Why don't you sew the money into your cotton-padded jacket."
This answer was beyond Fu Qing's expectations. He scratched his head and asked in confusion, "What should I do if my cotton-padded jacket needs to be washed?"
"Then you should take the things out in advance."
"This is too much trouble. It's better to keep it indoors."
"In the house?" Li Xu looked over with amusement. "Where in the house should I put it?"
"I'm looking for that."
“Even if you find it, you won’t find it next year.”
Then Li Xu pointed downwards and said, "The floor of your house is all mud. Unless you dig a hole in the ground, you definitely can't hide."
Then he went to the wardrobe and pointed at the gap between the wardrobe and the wall. "See this distance? I don't believe you've never cleaned behind furniture in your life. If you hide here, your wife will find it in two months.
Hiding it in a cotton coat is a bit troublesome, but it's safe, and normally you only wash your cotton coat once a year. Isn't that a lot easier to do?"
If the weather is humid, the walls will be affected, so under normal circumstances, furniture will not be placed close to the wall, but some distance will be left.
This not only prevents moisture, but also makes it easier for people to clean.
Whether there is a happy event at home or the New Year is approaching, people will clean every corner of the house, including behind the furniture.
Fu Qing naturally did this.
So he finally understood that what Li Xu said might be the best method.
However, he didn't agree directly. Instead, he asked something else, "Old Li, have you been thinking about hiding your private money? Otherwise, how could you know where to hide it without even thinking about it?"
Li Xu's face darkened. "Get out of here! I always say what I mean in front of Du Hong. When I marry her, I will be in charge of the family finances. Why would I need to hide money? Only a loser like you would."
If he wanted to hide the money, there was no need to go through so much trouble. He could just put it in the space and no one would be able to find it.
Fu Qing laughed and said, "You are kidding me, you are kidding me, with a girl like her, how can you have the final say in front of her?"
After confirming that Ye Hongmei would definitely marry him, he treated Li Xu and Du Hong to a dinner a few days ago, hoping that everyone would get to know each other.
Then Li Xu and the other two also treated each other to a meal.
After a few meals, he was pretty familiar with Du Hong's personality and knew that she was very opinionated.
How could such a person listen to others in everything?
So he didn't believe what Li Xu said at all.
"Believe it or not, forget it." Li Xu was too lazy to explain and said unhappily, "If you want to sew, do it quickly. It's getting late. I have to go back later."
"Sewing, sewing, and keep an eye on the outside."
"Yeah." After answering, Li Xu walked to the door and stuck half of his head out to look outside.
Seeing him like this, Fu Qing took out the money and cotton-padded clothes from the cabinet with confidence, and found the needle and thread and scissors from the drawer. While unstitching the cotton-padded clothes, he said, "Fortunately, my parents prepared everything and even bought me a set of needle and thread. Otherwise, it would be troublesome."
Li Xu said without turning his head, "That's because they don't want you two to worry about these trivial matters. Your only task is to make them grandparents as soon as possible. Do you understand?"
All the gifts of fate are secretly marked with a price.
This sentence is very suitable for Fu Qing.
Although he was the second son in the family, Uncle Fu and his wife spent so much money and resources on his marriage, and even prepared almost everything for the young couple to live on. It is self-evident why.
If he cannot help the old couple fulfill their wish as soon as possible, no one knows what will happen to him.
"Of course I understand. I've already decided to give birth to a baby next year for them to play with."
"Play?" This word made Li Xu turn his head involuntarily, wanting to see if he was serious about it.
Unfortunately, Fu Qing was concentrating on threading, so it was impossible to see the expression on his face.
So Li Xu turned his head back and continued to observe the situation outside, asking, "Do you think children are meant to be played with?"
"Of course. It's fun when the kids are little. It won't be fun when they're older."
Li Xu: ...
With your thoughts, when you get older, you will definitely have common language with the young people of that time.
The two chatted intermittently, and after a while, Li Xu heard a voice from behind him, "Okay, come here."
Li Xu walked up to him, picked up the cotton-padded jacket, looked at it, and praised it, "Not bad. If you didn't tell me, I wouldn't be able to tell which part of it was sewn by you."
Fu Qing grinned with a proud expression, "Of course, if you had known that, we would have both been beaten up a lot."
Back then, if the two of them accidentally tore their clothes, it was only thanks to Fu Qing's sewing skills that they were spared from being beaten...
