While dealing with Su Wantang, Liu Cuicui quickly searched for places she thought she could hide things.
"Is that so?" Su Wantang sneered.
"Huai'an? You're back? The door is broken, and my cousin is locked inside. Come quickly and kick the door open."
Upon hearing this, Liu Cuicui had no choice but to reluctantly stop and open the door.
However, when the door was opened, Lu Huai'an was not seen.
Where is Lu Huai'an?
"Cousin, I misheard. He hasn't come back yet."
Liu Cuicui glared fiercely at Su Wantang, but Su Wantang pretended not to see it and feigned confusion: "Cousin...isn't the door already open?"
"How would I know?" Liu Cuicui snatched the water glass from Su Wantang's hand and said disdainfully, "It's so messy to pour water like that."
"Cousin, what urgent matter do you have to tell me?"
Although time was short, Liu Cuicui searched almost every possible hiding place in the house, but she couldn't find the wooden box.
"Wantang, before you went to the Lu family, didn't your uncle give you anything?"
"Cousin, what should Dad give me? Doesn't Mom manage all the money in the house?"
After Su Wantang's reminder, Liu Cuicui also remembered this matter.
Could it be that Song Wanying deliberately hid it from her?
But it was clearly given in the past life.
"Wantang, you spent a lot of money on this housewarming party with White Rabbit candy and meat, didn't you?"
"It's alright." Su Wantang deliberately rubbed salt into Liu Cuicui's wound: "Huai'an, give me his savings book. There are several thousand in it. I don't need the money."
Liu Cuicui didn't believe a word of this.
But then I think about that fifty yuan a month...
"Wantang, we just bought a TV, and we're a little short on money. We're having a housewarming party tomorrow, so why don't you lend me some money?"
"What?" Su Wantang asked in surprise, "Cousin, you want to borrow money from me?"
"Brother-in-law, doesn't he give you money? That's outrageous!" Su Wantang grabbed Liu Cuicui's arm and pulled her outside. "Come on, I'll go to his house and demand an explanation for you!"
How could Liu Cuicui really let Su Wantang come knocking on her door? Huo Jun had warned her before.
"No, I just said it offhand."
"Really?" Su Wantang didn't believe it. "Cousin, don't be afraid. Huo Jun's explanation is unreasonable. I'll go to his boss. After getting married, what good man doesn't hand over his savings and allowances? Huo Jun can't be in the right."
Seeing that Su Wantang was really going, Liu Cuicui didn't care about the money anymore. She pulled Su Wantang's hand off her arm and ran away as if she were escaping.
When she left the hospital, she bumped into Lu Huai'an, who was returning from getting his meal.
Looking at the two lunchboxes in Lu Huai'an's hands, Liu Cuicui felt a pang of sadness. She had never received such treatment in her previous life; she always had to get her own meals.
She glared at Lu Huai'an reproachfully.
But soon, Liu Cuicui thought of something and started laughing again.
How could she forget? Just a few days ago, at the housewarming party, a scandal broke out about their marital discord. They're probably just putting on an act now.
If you really like someone, how could you not do that kind of thing?
Brother Huo, however, would pester her until dawn every day.
The smile on Liu Cuicui's lips didn't last long before she started worrying about money again.
Suddenly, she saw a familiar face, and her pupils contracted sharply.
Isn't that Su Yue?
Lu Huai'an's ardent suitors traveled all the way from the southwest to their region, all in the hope of marrying Lu Huai'an.
Unfortunately, she had the upper hand in her previous life, and because of this, Su Yue had made things difficult for her quite a bit.
Judging from Su Yue's appearance, she's probably following Lu Huai'an all the way.
Liu Cuicui's eyes darted around, and the corners of her mouth turned up.
Here comes the money bag...
Lu Huai'an was puzzled by Liu Cuicui's reproachful look, and secretly resolved to be more wary.
"You're back? I'm starving."
"I'll come back faster next time."
Su Wantang was amused by Lu Huai'an's serious answer.
After washing their hands, the two sat under the osmanthus tree to eat.
Lu Huai'an also noticed that Su Wantang seemed to really like flowers and plants. These past two evenings, the two of them had been eating outside while enjoying the evening breeze.
Remembering the advice Liu Hu and the other two had given him, he planned to buy some flowers and plants when he had time and tidy up the yard.
"Wantang, is Comrade Liu here on business?"
Su Wantang didn't plan to attend Huo Jun and Liu Cuicui's housewarming party, so she felt there was no need to tell Lu Huai'an.
"Nothing much, just dropping by."
Seeing that Su Wantang didn't want to talk about this, Lu Huai'an didn't press the matter further.
After finishing their meal, the two went back to their rooms to rest.
The Huo family is still working hard and making waves.
"Brother Huo, how about we have our housewarming party tomorrow night?"
"Everyone else got their appointments done around noon, so don't make things complicated."
Liu Cuicui was displeased upon hearing this and deliberately tightened her grip.
Huo Jun gasped.
He slapped her across the face.
"Behave yourself."
Liu Cuicui said in a coquettish voice, "I'm doing this for Brother Huo's own good. Everyone holds their weddings at noon, what's so special about that? Let's hold ours in the evening, and I'll buy some good wine. When word gets out, everyone will say this housewarming banquet is impressive!"
Thinking of his group of young men who had been clamoring for drinks just a few days ago, Huo Jun was tempted.
"Alcohol isn't cheap. Do you have money? I don't have any money on me."
“I met a friend who introduced me to a job, and I took out one month’s salary in advance.”
What kind of job?
Liu Cuicui made it all up; she didn't have any job.
She changed the subject: "Brother Huo, after your training tomorrow night, why don't you invite Lu Huai'an over? After all, he's your brother-in-law, it wouldn't be right not to call him. Besides, if he doesn't come, how will he see that Brother Huo's wife is even more capable than his own wife?"
These words struck a chord with Huo Jun.
"OK."
"Brother Huo, you're so kind."
"I'll call my cousin over too, and make her regret being so blind as to choose a rich second-generation instead of a good man like Brother Huo."
Huo Jun was pleased by Liu Cuicui's flattery and became very energetic, continuing to tease Liu Cuicui until dawn before finally letting her go.
The next day, after Su Wantang got off work, Liu Cuicui came to call her.
"Wantang".
When the hoarse, broken voice came through, Su Wantang couldn't help but frown.
She looked in the direction of the sound and saw Liu Cuicui's face again, her brows furrowing even deeper.
Liu Cuicui, is he still not giving up? So, he's waiting for her again after work?
"Come on, come with me, everyone's waiting for you."
"Wait for me?" Su Wantang was completely confused.
"That's right! The housewarming party is about to begin, and we're all waiting for you!"
Although she didn't know what Liu Cuicui was up to, everyone was waiting for her there, and Su Wantang felt embarrassed not to go, after all, the two were cousins.
As they approached their doorstep, Liu Cuicui suddenly shouted in a loud voice.
"Brother Huo, I'm back."
The next second, the door was opened.
Su Wantang witnessed a man with a build somewhat similar to Lu Huai'an crouching down and holding Su Yue in his arms.
Su Yue gave her a provocative smile.
"Brother Huai'an, you're holding me so tightly."
