Chapter 21 Counting Money
"Stop arguing, Mom. I support Lu Zhao. If he wants to open a store, let him do it. He has the capital now, so it's okay. If he loses it, we can just earn it again. Anyway, we are still young, and I can also find a job to earn money."
"Just side with him. If he spends all his money, he will make you live a hard life!"
Chen Cuilan said with a sigh of regret that men should not be spoiled. Why spoil him like this?
"I'm not afraid, mother, and I believe Lu Zhao can make a lot of money! Don't worry, mother, when we make money in the future, we will definitely be filial to you."
Su Yunqi said naively, I thought making money was easy. Chen Cuilan felt that the two children were like newborn calves who were not afraid of tigers, and she could not persuade them.
"Okay, okay, go ahead and do whatever you want. Anyway, your father and I are going to give you the two acres of land. If you don't want it now, you can take it after we die."
Chen Cuilan is a person who never has any taboos when speaking. She talks about anything, including life and death. Su Yunqi quickly made a few "Pooh" sounds at her, looking both cute and serious.
"Mom, please don't say these words anymore. It's unlucky. Dad and Mom will definitely live a long life."
"Silly child, why do we live so long? Being so old is not necessarily a good thing."
Chen Cuilan scolded him, but she was undoubtedly cheered up by Su Yunqi's words. She generously took out a wad of crumpled money from her pocket, about ten yuan, and stuffed it into Su Yunqi's pocket.
This is the money their old man earned from selling taro for half a day today. So many taro were sold for just this little money, but the stingy Chen Cuilan had no power to resist the soft and sweet-talking Su Yunqi, and she also became generous.
"Use it to buy candy. Mother is leaving."
Chen Cuilan said this without waiting for Su Yunqi to refuse, and left in a hurry.
Originally, I wanted to come and see how the electrical wiring in Lu Zhao's house was installed. My third sister-in-law Sun Meixiang also wanted to install electrical wiring, so I planned to come and take a look. Unexpectedly, I ran into the scene of Chen Cuilan stuffing money into Su Yunqi's pocket.
She was very shocked. After all, she had been married for so many years and had never seen the stingy Chen Cuilan give her even two cents. But this time, she directly stuffed such a thick stack of money into Su Yunqi's pocket, which must be at least 10 or 8 yuan!
She couldn't help but feel a little envious and jealous. This pretty little girl was so likable that even her mother-in-law couldn't resist her.
She felt a little sour in her heart, but when she saw Su Yunqi holding the money with a confused and dazed expression, and finally handing the money to Lu Zhao, she felt that her way of thinking was wrong.
It was clearly her mother-in-law who forced it on others, how could she blame Su Yunqi! Moreover, Su Yunqi didn’t want it himself, so he gave it all to Lu Zhao.
Sun Meixiang suppressed the jealousy in her heart and walked out.
"Third sister-in-law, why are you here?"
When Lu Zhao saw her coming, he greeted her as if nothing had happened. Su Yunqi also had an impression of her, so she obediently followed suit and called her "Third Sister-in-law."
She stood next to Lu Zhao, a head shorter than him, like a little bird, and her three points of obedience were enhanced to eight points.
"I came to take a look at your wires. I told your third brother a long time ago that I wanted to run the wires, but he refused to do so just to save a few cents. I'm really pissed off at him."
Sun Meixiang was very indignant as she said this. Her husband was the one who inherited the true skills from her mother-in-law. He was not even as good at picking his nose as she was!
"That's easy. I just had someone come over to install it today. I'll go talk to him and have him come to your place tomorrow to install the wires. We're family, so he'll give us a discount. It won't cost much. I'll pay for it for you."
Lu Zhao said generously that he was a very good person and Sun Meixiang was immediately moved.
"Then it's settled. I'll send you some corn tortillas later. The corn tortillas I make are the best! I guess you haven't tried my cooking yet, but I guarantee you'll fall in love with it after trying it!"
Sun Meixiang happily reached out and pinched Su Yunqi's fair and tender little face. Hmm, it was smooth and nice!
"Okay, thank you, sister-in-law."
Su Yunqi didn't know why her third sister-in-law wanted to pinch her, but she stood there obediently and nodded, with clear eyes and a cute expression.
After Sun Meixiang left, Su Yunqi raised his eyes and asked Lu Zhao in confusion.
"Why did you pinch my face, sister-in-law?"
"It's because you're pretty. If you don't like being touched, then just dodge. Why are you standing there like an idiot?"
Lu Zhao tapped Su Yunqi's little head and teased.
"I'm embarrassed to hide. Anyway, it doesn't hurt when Third Sister-in-law pinches me. Forget it."
Su Yunqi magnanimously forgot all this.
She is really stupid. Lu Zhao shook his head and did not teach her a lesson. He pulled her back to the room and planned to do something big with her.
When Su Yunqi saw him close the door, he leaned against the wall and shook his head vigilantly.
"Lu Zhao, it's broad daylight now! Don't do bad things!"
"Oh? Am I thinking of doing something bad? Su Yunqi, I think it's you who wants to do it, huh? If you want to, I, your man, can agree with you."
Lu Zhao curled his lips and smiled angrily.
Then he moved closer and pushed Su Yunqi against the wall, with his whole body resting on Su Yunqi.
Poor Su Yunqi had nowhere to retreat and could only let the man press her against the wall.
"Lu Zhao, I can't breathe."
She pouted and complained in dissatisfaction, looking sullen and annoyed.
But Lu Zhao smiled viciously and refused to step back. Instead, he lowered his head and bit Su Yunqi's little face.
"If you admit that you were greedy for my body, I will leave."
"I don't want to! I don't think so at all!"
Su Yunqi widened her eyes in shock. It was obviously him. He always wanted to touch her, so how could he push the blame onto her?
"You have. Then tell me whether you feel comfortable at night or not."
Lu Zhao pressed the question once more, his eyes burning, as if he wanted to tease his young wife!
"You! You're a pervert!"
Su Yunqi had too few words to curse. Her face turned red and she could only utter one sentence in the end, glaring at him with her moist and clear almond eyes.
"I'm not a pervert. I'm just loving you."
Lu Zhao was making convincing arguments, but seeing Su Yunqi's eyes misty with tears, thinking she was about to cry out of shame, Lu Zhao quickly stepped back and stopped him in time.
"Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore. I want to count the money with you and show you how much money we have. You should keep some for living expenses, and I will use the rest to invest in opening a store."
Lu Zhao put his arm around Su Yunqi's shoulders and pushed her to sit on the bed, then he took two bricks from under the bed and took out his little treasury.
At least it was time to get down to business. Su Yunqi rubbed his eyes and held back his tears.
"How long will it take you to make money? You probably won't need two people in the beginning. Why don't you stay busy in the store first and I'll find a job. We can talk after you make money."
She said sensibly.
"No, count first. I have money, I can support you!"
Lu Zhao proudly stuffed the box into Su Yunqi's hand and then opened the box.
There's a wad of money inside! There are also some beautiful gold bracelets!
