Therefore, knowing that there was no fish in the fish-flavored eggplant, I specially ordered a fish dish.
However, she didn't forget that her sister-in-law liked soup, so she also ordered a bone broth for her.
Su Nianxue's habit of drinking soup comes from her mother.
In her memory, her mother was no different from the other women in the village.
When it was time to go to the fields to earn work points, they would drag their tired bodies home to cook and do housework.
But no matter how tight the schedule is, or how tired you are after a long day, there will always be a bowl of soup on the family dinner table.
Su Jianguo doesn't drink much soup. He always says his mother is fussy, as if she'd choke to death if she didn't drink soup for a meal.
His mother didn't seem to care about his cold attitude and continued eating her coarse grains and soup.
No matter what he says, that bowl of soup will still appear on their family's dining table without fail.
Su Nianxue probably got her taste from her mother and also really enjoys drinking soup.
However, when she was at the Su family's house, there was no way to cook soup for her.
Now that she's married into the Gu family and can make her own decisions, she's brought this habit back into the spotlight.
Gu Yanbai and his sister both disliked drinking soup, but they respected her habit and didn't interfere.
Soon, the food was served, and the three of them enjoyed a delicious meal.
When they got back, Su Nianxue took out her private savings.
He had previously said that because he didn't have enough money, he brought in other people to invest when he opened the electronics store.
This time they spent such a large sum of money to buy donkeys, and even said they would dig a well for them so that it would be more convenient for them to use water in the future.
It's good, but it costs money to do all of these things, and the prices aren't cheap.
She guessed he must have borrowed a large sum of money from someone.
"What do you mean?" Gu Yanbai looked at the thick wad of money in his hand, his eyes filled with hostility.
"I know you don't have much money on you these days."
After buying the donkey, we still need to dig a well, which will cost several hundred yuan.
If we have money at home, we shouldn't ask others for it.
Besides, you did all this for me.
"I've got no use for this money sitting there, so I might as well spend it myself."
She had held onto the money tightly before, partly to have a backup plan.
She married him with the idea that she would just live with him as a partner.
He could do whatever he wanted, but as long as she had the money in her hand, she would have some confidence!
But now she doesn't have that worry anymore. This man is reliable and considerate of her.
Sometimes I'm clearly unwilling, but now I try to consider things from her perspective.
She realized that kindness between people is mutual.
If someone keeps giving without receiving a response, even the warmest heart will eventually grow cold!
So she decided to reciprocate his enthusiasm.
"No need, don't worry about the money."
This money is your own secret stash; you can use it to buy whatever you want. Why would I need a few dollars from you?
Knowing that she also wanted to share some of his burden, Gu Yanbai's expression softened considerably.
But what kind of behavior is it to use your wife's secret stash of money?
He pushed the money back into his hand, saying, "Go and put it away properly."
I said you don't need to worry about the money, and you don't need to worry about it.
"Really don't want it?"
"Su Nianxue, are you trying to slap me in the face? Do you think I'm the kind of person who uses my wife's secret stash of money?"
However, I like your attitude, so keep it up from now on!
"No need for money. I appreciate the sentiment, and it's priceless." His eyes shimmered, filled with deep emotion.
He quickly cupped her cheeks and lightly pecked her lips. "Go, put it away."
Okay!
Seeing his insistence, Su Nianxue had no choice but to put the money away again.
Gu Yanbai acted quickly, and the next day, he invited a well-drilling expert.
They were a father and son. They agreed that the wages would be eight yuan per person per day, and meals would also be provided.
Once the well is drilled, payment must be made immediately; no credit will be given.
They had no objection to this.
Gu Yanbai drove the donkey cart to town again and bought some cement and sand to plaster the well walls so that the water would be clearer.
Soon, the news that their family was going to dig a well spread throughout the village.
There were all sorts of things people said behind their backs, but most of them were envious.
If you had a well at home, you could wash and clean everything at home—how convenient!
Unfortunately, they only thought about it.
After all, digging a well is not cheap, and they don't have that kind of spare money.
As soon as Wang Erya received the news, she ran over. "Nianxue, I heard your family is going to dig a well!"
"Yes, we need water to make tofu, and it's too tiring to carry it by hand."
"That's why our family hired someone to come and dig a well." She pointed to the father and son who were busy in the corner.
"How much does this cost?"
I've heard that the water source here is quite deep; digging a well like this must have cost a lot of money.
Wang Erya was naturally envious, but she also knew that her family didn't have that kind of means.
Su Nianxue spread her hands, "I don't know, they charge by the day, so we have to dig no matter how deep it is."
Maybe we'll get lucky and the water will come out tomorrow?
Sure enough, they were very lucky; they found a water source after only three days of digging.
Soon, the well was completed, and a pressure valve was added in the corner of the wall.
Gu Yanbai then built a square water tank with stones and cement to surround the pressure valve.
These past few days, the most talked-about topic in the village has been their family's affairs.
The second son of the Gu family has struck it rich.
I wonder what kind of business they're doing outside, that they've made so much money.
Not only did he buy his wife a TV and a washing machine, but now he's also buying a donkey and digging a well.
Wow, how much money must they have made to afford to spend like this!
I was worried that if this guy never got to work in the fields, his beautiful wife would run away sooner or later.
As a result, the couple's life is getting better and better.
The older women slapped their thighs in regret, wishing they hadn't made up stories about him like that.
They pride themselves on having lived most of their lives and possessing a keen eye for people.
But I never expected that I would misjudge someone.
A weak voice came from the crowd, "Did he do something illegal? Otherwise, how could he make so much money?"
As a result, everyone gave her a disdainful look.
If someone dares to openly spend money, the source of that money must be verifiable.
Only someone without a brain would say something like that.
He was initially thought to be a menace to Hongxi Village, but it turned out to be the most promising young man in the village.
Now, of the two scourges in the village, only Wu Erlaizi is truly a threat.
As for Wu Erlaizi, for some reason, he hasn't been seen showing up in the village lately.
No one is picking the vegetables in the fields anymore, and no one is stealing the chickens. It's been a long time since I've heard the old ladies cursing.
Is he also quietly transforming like Gu Yanbai?
Some people quickly refuted this claim, saying they had seen him just yesterday.
