This is money, this is a house; she has to keep it safe.
Moreover, she was just taking advantage of a loophole. She was afraid that if she kept giving things away, the heavens would see it and become jealous of her, and then create some kind of female lead to annoy her. If she lost her life then, it would be too late for her to regret it.
With three large red envelopes, Qin Xiaoxiao was in a great mood. What did Mai Jia and the female lead matter? As long as she could survive for two years, she could leave this place and take her whole family to live in the capital, far away from all the female leads. Let's see who can take her life then.
Qin Xiaoxiao happily started making dumpling filling in her space again. She made more than two hundred dumplings before Su Lu returned, and planned to use the remaining filling to make bread and buns when Su Lu came back.
It was past four o'clock again when Su Lu arrived home. This time, Qin Xiaoxiao didn't ask why he was back so early. She just tossed him a novel to read while she boiled water and cooked dumplings.
Today we made scallion and beef dumplings. After they were cooked, we asked Su Lu to bring a big bowl to the Qin family. When Su Lu came back, the two of them sat facing each other and ate heartily.
Qin Xiaoxiao has a small stomach, and she was full after eating eleven or twelve dumplings. Su Lu ate the remaining thirty or so dumplings.
After finishing their meal, Qin Xiaoxiao proudly showed Su Lu her stamp album.
Su Lu didn't care and casually flipped the page, only to be equally astonished by the first page.
"This is... glug!"
Su Lu swallowed hard, staring in disbelief at the stamp album in his hand.
Qin Xiaoxiao glanced at Su Lu triumphantly, then lay down on the kang (heated brick bed). "How was that? Scared, weren't you?"
Su Lu was shocked and asked urgently, "Where did you get this?"
Qin Xiaoxiao whispered, "I picked it up from the scrap yard last time, and I completely forgot about it. I just threw it into my spatial storage without even opening it to look at it. I found it today while I was tidying up the books in my spatial storage, and I was shocked to find that the things inside are incredibly valuable."
Look at the last page, see? Three sheets of red! How much is that worth?
Su Lu obediently turned to the last page, looked at the landscape painted red, and asked in confusion, "This... is it very valuable?"
Qin Xiaoxiao lowered her voice and said, "Valuable? Heh, do you know how much this little stamp will sell for in twenty years? 300,000. In thirty years, it will be worth at least 400,000. In fifty years, a whole sheet can even sell for tens of millions or hundreds of millions. If it's in a hundred years, how much do you think this thing will be worth? Priceless!"
After hearing this, Su Lu's eyes were glued to the spot; he couldn't even look away, and his mouth was practically watering.
Qin Xiaoxiao glanced at Su Lu with disdain and tossed him a handkerchief. "Hurry up and wipe yourself, how embarrassing!"
Su Lu took the handkerchief and wiped his mouth with it. "Keep it safe. Whether our descendants can live a life of luxury depends on this."
Qin Xiaoxiao laughed, "That's not necessary. What are all those gold, silver and jade artifacts in my space for? When I leave, I'll leave them all for the children. Just those alone will be enough to feed and clothe three generations."
This isn't just Qin Xiaoxiao's boasting. Although she doesn't have a lot of things in her space—not like the heroines in those novels from that era who had hundreds of boxes of them—every single item is a masterpiece. Just one of the few exquisite jade artifacts from the Wen family could fetch hundreds of millions at auction. As long as her descendants live well and don't squander their wealth, they can easily live for two or three hundred years.
Su Lu nodded in agreement, "That's true. You have a lot of things in your space, that's enough. Besides, I still have to earn money, I can't rely on you for everything!"
He can shamelessly live off his wife, but he can't do that with his daughter. He has to build a legacy for her so that she won't have a hard time after he passes away.
Moreover, daughters should be raised in comfort and their horizons should be broadened so that they won't be easily deceived by any man who offers them something nice. Once they've seen more of the world, they won't be so easily fooled.
It must be said that Su Lu did have some foresight; his thinking was at least thirty or forty years ahead of his time.
Thinking of his daughter, Su Lu suddenly realized that he hadn't been affectionate with his wife for two days, so he threw the book aside, hugged Qin Xiaoxiao and kissed her, "Wife, I want to have a daughter."
Qin Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes. "This world is mostly unfriendly to women. Otherwise, how about having a son?"
Su Lu frowned. "But I want a daughter, a daughter who looks exactly like you."
Qin Xiaoxiao laughed, "That'll have to wait. According to scientific research, daughters mostly resemble their fathers, while boys resemble their mothers. However, if your daughter is as beautiful as you, that's not impossible."
Qin Xiaoxiao playfully lifted Su Lu's chin, squinted like a lecherous wolf, leaned close to Su Lu, and kissed him on the chin.
"No stubble, quite clean-shaven, easy to kiss, no prickling in the mouth."
Su Lu smiled and pressed Qin Xiaoxiao down beneath him. "Thank you for your affirmation, my wife. I will definitely continue to work hard to keep it this clean every day, waiting for your favor."
Qin Xiaoxiao smiled and kissed Su Lu's lips, but quickly withdrew after just a brief touch. "Little Lu, you'd better take good care of yourself. If you don't take care of yourself for a day, it will grow back."
Qin Xiaoxiao doesn't really like beards; she always thinks they're dirty. Isn't a smooth chin better? At least it's more cuddly!
Qin Xiaoxiao and Su Lu rolled around laughing together. As for whether their daughter could come or not, that was not up to them; it was all a matter of fate.
At the other end of the village, Zhou Ying and Huang Yuan also slept together, but they finished quickly. Zhou Ying felt she hadn't had enough of Huang Yuan before she got up to wash up.
Zhou Ying looked at Huang Yuan's back with slight dissatisfaction, wondering if he was impotent.
After leaving the room, Huang Yuan glanced back at the door with disgust, then frowned and went into the outhouse.
He wouldn't have done that with Zhou Ying if he hadn't wanted to appease her.
It was his first time, but he ended up sharing a woman with another man, which was a huge blow to him and made him hate Zhou Ying.
But now he has no other choice but to stay entangled with Zhou Ying. Otherwise, if they divorce, the consequences that await him may be unbearable, such as being schemed against by Zhou Ying, demanding a large breakup fee, and being sent to a farm or something.
He had a certain understanding of Zhou Ying's ruthlessness.
Taking a deep breath and exhaling the stench from his nose, Huang Yuan endured the nausea and went to the toilet. He then cleaned himself up and washed his own clothes. As for Zhou Ying's clothes, he was already being lenient by not letting her help him wash them. If she wanted him to wash her clothes, well, that was just wishful thinking.
Back in the room, seeing that Zhou Ying had already finished tidying up, Huang Yuan felt a little better and lay down next to her.
As soon as Huang Yuan lay down, Zhou Ying moved closer.
"Huang Yuan, tell me, when will this ever end?"
Huang Yuan thought for a moment, "I don't know, I'll just take it one day at a time."
Zhou Ying choked for a moment, then thought for a moment, "I want a child."
Huang Yuan was taken aback.
Is this woman out of her mind? She wants to have his baby? Is she serious?
