Remembering her business, Zhang Yuping hurriedly left the room.
He called out to Lu Yuan, who was about to go back into the house.
"Ah Yuan, what did you take with you when you left?"
Lu Yuan turned his head and asked, "What I took is none of your business?"
"You? We've separated our households." Zhang Yuping said, suppressing her anger.
Lu Yuan sneered, "So you know we've separated the family. Why are you still meddling in other people's business?"
Zhang Yuping was so angry she wanted to bite her teeth; this ingrate's words were so offensive.
Lu Xiaoqin couldn't stand it anymore and questioned, "Big brother, how can you talk to Mother like that? Even though we've separated the family, you still took things from home. Can't Mother even ask you a few questions?"
Lu Yuan corrected, "This is your mother, not my mother."
"Also, when did I take your things?"
Zhang Yuping said, "I just saw you carrying a snakeskin bag outside for a moment."
Lu Yuan retorted, "If I went out carrying a snakeskin bag, was it to take your things?"
"Otherwise what? What could you possibly have left after leaving with nothing?" Lu Xiaoqin said disdainfully.
Lu Yuan simply turned around and sneered, "Ha, so you know I left with nothing. When we divided the property, you said we were penniless and had nothing to share, but now you're saying there's something for me to take. Hey, tell me, which of your statements is true and which is false?"
Zhang Yuping hurriedly said, "Of course everything we said is true. When we divided the family property, your father also said that there weren't many things in the house, so we couldn't give them to you. It's not that we had nothing at all."
"Then what?"
Lu Yuan crossed his arms and watched her leisurely, wondering what other bad things she could come up with.
"So, Yuan, just return whatever you took from home. As long as nothing is missing, we won't blame you."
"Ha, nothing has changed in over a decade. You still like to talk nonsense and try to pin the blame on me."
He glanced at Zhang Yuping and said, "You'd better find the evidence before you ask me to return your things."
With that, he turned around, went back to his room, and closed the door.
As soon as he entered the house, he saw his fake wife pinching her nose and looking at him with disgust.
You stink!
Lu Yuan didn't need to lift his arm to smell it to know that he really smelled bad.
I went up and down the mountain twice, carrying and catching the game. I was drenched in sweat, my clothes getting wet and then drying and then getting wet again.
Mixed with the bloody smell of prey, it's no wonder it smells so good.
I'm going to take a shower with my clothes.
Wen Moxue pinched her nose and spoke in a muffled voice, pointing to the thermos on the desk.
"There is hot water inside."
Lu Yuan glanced at the thermos, then at the enamel basin next to it, which contained a towel that was about 70-80% new, a toothbrush holder, and a bar of soap.
Wow, this girl has quite a collection of things; these are all good stuff.
Their family must be quite wealthy.
"I'll use cold water."
"You just sweated, be careful not to catch a cold if you use cold water. You should dilute it with some hot water and wash yourself."
Actually, Lu Yuan was used to washing with cold water, but showering with cold water without soap didn't get him very clean.
After thinking for a moment, he picked up the kettle.
I walked behind the door and picked up the towel hanging on the wooden pegs; the towel was so worn that it was unrecognizable.
Wen Moxue quickly called out to him, "Wait a moment."
As she spoke, she opened her large wooden box again.
After rummaging around inside for a bit, he pulled out a brand new towel and an unused bar of soap.
"Here you go."
Lu Yuan accepted it, saying, "Thank you."
He does need those two things, but he won't take them for free.
He pulled out a ten-yuan note from the cloth bag on the kang (a heated brick bed) and handed it over.
Wen Moxue was stunned, and quickly waved her hand, "No, this is free, it's for you."
"I don't have money, fine, but now that I do, I can't just take advantage of you."
Wen Moxue thought for a moment and then accepted the money.
"You don't need that many, I'll find you some."
"No need, the rest can be given to my wife as pocket money," Lu Yuan joked with a smile.
Wen Moxue spat at him, "Who's your wife? Shameless!"
He took eight yuan back with him. She wasn't a real wife, so he absolutely refused to take the money.
Lu Yuan smiled, took the money, and stuffed it into his cloth bag. Then he tossed the entire bag over.
Wen Moxue caught it in a flustered manner.
"What are you doing?"
"Put it in your suitcase, mine isn't locked."
Wen Moxue glanced at it casually, and her eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
"So much? Did you do all of this tonight?"
Lu Yuan nodded and took the clean clothes, towels, soap, and thermos flask and went out.
Wen Moxue sat on the kang, feeling bewildered. Wasn't this man supposed to be lazy and good-for-nothing?
Can someone who can earn several hundred dollars in one night be a slacker?
Are all slackers this good now?
She was filled with curiosity: what good stuff had this person gotten that earned so much money?
It should be a big guy, no doubt.
She hadn't even glanced at the contents of the snakeskin bag before, because she felt it wasn't right to look at other people's things without permission, so she didn't.
Now I'm curious, it's like a cat is scratching at my heart.
The cloth bag was put into the box and locked.
With so much money, it seems like we won't have to worry about buying a new house.
On the first day of the fake marriage, I seemed to have more and more hope for the days to come.
"Lu Yuan, come out here."
A loud shout outside startled Wen Moxue again.
He patted his chest.
Damn it, I was scared several times in one night.
That means she has a good heart. If she didn't have a good heart, she probably would have kicked the bucket long ago.
He got off the kang (a heated brick bed) in a huff and flung open the door.
"What are you doing? Lu Yuan went out to take a shower a long time ago."
Upon seeing that it was her, Lu Guoqing felt a little embarrassed.
As a grown man, he couldn't argue with his daughter-in-law, so he just snorted and remained silent.
Lu Xiaoqin, who was behind her, was about to say something when Zhang Yuping pulled her back.
A smile spread across his face.
"Xiao Wen, it's like this, A Yuan secretly took something from home and gave it away before. Do you know what he took?"
"I know," Wen Moxue nodded.
Zhang Yuping's smile widened, and this time it was much more genuine.
"Good to know. Have him return everything, and we won't pursue this matter any further."
These words sounded magnanimous, but Lu Guoqing sneered, "You're married and still stealing chickens and dogs, what kind of behavior is that?"
Then, with a stern face, he spoke to Wen Moxue.
"Now that you've married the eldest son, you need to keep an eye on him. You should also offer appropriate advice on what he should and shouldn't do."
Wen Moxue blinked her big eyes, looking at them innocently.
"What are you saying? I don't understand."
The two choked on their words. Lu Guoqing thought she really didn't understand, frowned, and suddenly felt that his eldest daughter-in-law wasn't very smart.
That's true; a smart woman wouldn't marry his good-for-nothing eldest son.
Too lazy to explain, he snorted again, put his hands behind his back, and turned to the side.
Wen Moxue's eyelids twitched violently. How could a grown man be so good at humming?
