"Since she took the initiative to send it to me, I should just accept it with peace of mind."
Su Wan said as she stuffed the two pieces of money into her pocket.
She looked up and saw Lu Chengchuan looking at her. Su Wan was afraid that he would call her money-obsessed again, so she explained:
"This can be considered as a punishment for her. If a person makes a mistake and just gets through it without any pain or itchiness, then the cost of making a mistake is too low for her.
If she is tempted again next time, she might do the same thing again. Only by letting her bleed a little can she feel pain, and the pain will help her remember what she can and cannot do."
Lu Chengchuan nodded approvingly.
He increasingly felt that his daughter-in-law was wiser and more resourceful than he was in handling things.
Two days later, Su Wan heard from the wives of the soldiers that Commander Chu had retired from the army and returned to his hometown in the mainland with his family.
The shameful things Chu Xia did were not spread, but when the police came to arrest the gangster that day, they were seen by the military wives in the yard.
But Su Wan told them that the gangster was a thief who broke into houses and picked locks, and was bumped into by Lu Chengchuan who was rushing home. Then he subdued him and asked the police to take him in.
No one doubted this explanation, but it added a bit of panic to everyone.
I don’t know how bold that thief is. He dared to sneak into the military compound to steal. Everyone has become more careful than before.
Anyway, there were only two families living on the second floor, and Jinhua would never sell herself out.
Since she didn't say anything and Su Wan didn't say anything either, naturally no one knew the truth.
So everyone was guessing why Mr. Chu and his family left suddenly.
Because he left suddenly without any signs, it was inevitable that 그놇 would speculate behind his back.
Su Wan just listened silently without interrupting. When she met those military wives who loved to make up stories, and their stories were very outrageous, Su Wan laughed so hard that her stomach hurt.
I really admire their imagination, it's really big.
After Chu Xia left and Jin Hua turned over a new leaf, life became much calmer.
Su Wan would go to the black market every few days to buy some vegetables and eggs along with the food she had stored.
She could earn more than one yuan every time she went there, plus the betrothal money given by Wang Wenbin, the money from selling her work, the reward she received, and the two yuan compensated by Teacher Chu this time, all added up, Su Wan was already a ten thousand yuan household.
Now that she has money, she feels more confident. She is just waiting for the spring breeze of reform and opening up to blow, so that she can roll up her sleeves and do something big.
Since being followed the last time, Su Wan has become much more careful.
But she was sure of one thing: the person following her was definitely not Brother Xie.
So Su Wan kept changing her look every time she went to the black market.
This also resulted in that every time she went to Brother Xie to deliver the goods, Brother Xie would not listen to her voice and would not even acknowledge her.
Happy days always pass quickly.
In a blink of an eye, she will soon have lived there for 45 days. Recently, her neighbor Jinhua across the street seems to have completely changed. The military wives in the yard can't help but praise her behind her back.
Su Wan knew that the couple was in debt, so she would often share some vegetables from her own space with her.
The watermelons she planted had already matured. She would pick one from time to time and give a few slices to the family next door.
The two children now loved Su Wan more than Jinhua and would call her "Auntie" all the time whenever they saw her.
Xiong Liang was particularly happy about his daughter-in-law's radical change, and the atmosphere at home became much more harmonious.
Whenever Jinhua complained about her debts, Xiong Liang would always comfort her patiently.
As long as he was willing, the money would be earned back sooner or later, so she just had to take good care of the two children and leave the money-making to him.
Jinhua knew that she couldn't earn a penny. She felt sorry for her man. Not only did he have to support a family, but he also had to pay off debts. His pressure must be greater than hers.
Recently, her parents asked her to borrow money again, saying that they needed to hold a wedding for her eldest nephew. Jinhua's own family could hardly make ends meet, so how could she lend money to her parents?
So she explained her current situation to her parents and rejected them for the first time.
Unexpectedly, her elder brother actually wrote to her and scolded her, saying that she had no conscience.
Even her eldest nephew, when he found out that she, his aunt, would not lend him money for his wedding, wrote to her directly to cut off all ties with her.
Having helped her parents-in-law so much, she would try every possible means to satisfy them as long as they asked, even if she had to go without food or drink. However, she did not expect that they would turn against her immediately after she refused them just once.
Such a kiss completely chilled her heart.
Jinhua has lived for more than 30 years and finally understands that her own small family is the most important. Those families in her family will only suck her blood. It is impossible to expect them to repay her.
After being sad for a few days, she made up her mind and wrote a letter to her parents' home to calculate the amount of money she had lent them.
You wouldn’t know until you calculate it. This calculation scared Jinhua.
The vampires from her mother's family borrowed nearly a dollar from her under various pretexts.
One yuan!
That was Xiong Liang's biggest allowance.
This means that during her marriage to Xiong Liang, Xiong Liang earned a lot of money for her family.
Looking at this number, Jinhua felt extremely ashamed. It was really unlucky for Xiong Liang to marry her.
She was like a termite, who emptied her own family and gave back to her parents' family, thinking that they would say a word of praise in return. In the end, she got nothing in return and was instead cursed at.
She knew she would never get the money back, but she at least wanted to let them know how much blood they had sucked from her.
When her two children wanted to eat cakes and fruits, she was reluctant to buy them. She saved money in every way, and even took advantage of her parents without caring about her dignity. She enriched her parents, but her parents scolded her for having no conscience.
Jinhua now regretted so much that she just wanted to bang her head. There would be no other woman in this world who was dumber or more stupid than her.
Those families were not even as good as any of her neighbors.
Recently, Su Wan would send her some food from time to time, and would never forget to serve some to the two children no matter what delicious food she cooked.
As for her parents' families, the two children have never had a single piece of candy from the time they were born to now.
Jinhua had been on good terms with Su Wan recently, so she was very reluctant to let Su Wan leave.
Since she met Su Wan, her whole person has changed dramatically. She knows what she can and cannot do, and she knows that she must be self-disciplined and self-respecting.
Knowing that Su Wan had to catch the bus early the next morning, she got up early and made more than ten scallion pancakes for Su Wan to take with her on the journey.
Su Wan held the hot pancake in her hand, knowing that her kindness had been rewarded with kindness.
He Xiuna also brought her a bag of fried dough sticks early in the morning, and Su Wan couldn't bear to refuse their kindness.
On the grounds that the temperature was high and the food would go bad if not finished, I took a few oil cakes and a few fried dumplings without hesitation.
Everyone sent Su Wan to the door together, and said goodbye to her reluctantly, hoping that she could come earlier tomorrow.
After arriving at the long-distance bus station and buying the tickets, Lu Chengchuan helped Su Wan put away her luggage and reminded her again and again to be careful on the road.
Knowing that Su Wan was not short of money, he still gave all his salary for this month to Su Wan after leaving living expenses.
The time to leave came, and the car slowly drove away from the bus station.
Lu Chengchuan yelled at Su Wan, "I'll come back to see you soon."
Su Wan nodded vigorously. During the time they had been together, their feelings had grown deep. It was no longer like the last time when Lu Chengchuan left Shiqiao Village without any pain or itch. At that time, she felt that there was no difference whether he was there or not.
Now, she was reluctant to let him go, and had developed an attachment to him.
With red eyes, she silently asked in her heart, "Why do we have to part in this world?"
Just when she was feeling sad about the separation, a man sitting in the last row looked at Su Wan's back with a sinister smile on his face.
