Chen Ji picked her up and walked upstairs.
Xu Ruantang asked in surprise, "What are you doing?"
Could it be that he's gotten carried away and, after falling from grace, no longer intends to be a decent human being?
But it's inconvenient for her!
Seeing Xu Ruantang's panic, Chen Ji chuckled and comforted her, "Go to the study, there's something for you to see."
Xu Ruantang leaned against him reassuredly, "Then tell me first, where did all those dead kids come from? Chen Ji, you don't have some kind of weird fetish, do you?"
Chen Ji paused, his usually steady steps nearly causing him to stumble.
He quickly regained his balance and continued walking upstairs, answering casually, "It's free. I'll get it every time I go to the hospital after we get back to the compound."
The deeper meaning behind these words is self-evident.
Xu Ruantang: "......"
Chen Ji was even more of a beast than imagined.
Once inside the study, Chen Ji held her as they sat in a chair, and reached out to open a drawer to look for something.
Taking advantage of his distraction, Xu Ruantang breathed into his ear and asked, "So ever since you came back to the compound, you've been thinking about how to sleep with me and when to sleep with me?"
This old man has such big ambitions.
At that time, she was completely unaware of what was happening and foolishly slept in the same room with him, afraid that his unhealthy marital relationship would be exposed.
So she's always been the little white rabbit in the big bad wolf's mouth.
No wonder Chen Ji would secretly carry her to bed in the middle of the night and subtly ask her to feed him; she was still naively thinking that he was just acting.
With a "thud," the thing in Chen Ji's hand fell to the ground.
Xu Ruantang turned her head to look. "A passbook? What do you need that for?"
Chen Ji spoke in a stiff tone, mimicking Xu Ruantang's whispered three words in her ear.
These three words not only answered her previous question, but also her new one, only they were too... vulgar!
Xu Ruantang blushed, stood up, picked up the bankbook, and handed it to Chen Ji. "I thought I was the master of shamelessness, but I didn't expect you to be the ultimate master of shamelessness. Let's get down to business. What do you want to do?"
If you tease her any further, she'll bang her head against the wall.
Chen Ji then put his arm around her, his expression becoming serious.
He put the bankbook and all the money in the drawer together and handed it to Xu Ruantang, saying in an unyielding tone, "Wife, from now on you will be in charge of the household. All of this is yours. Everything in this house is yours."
He looked at Xu Ruantang, knowing she was about to be inappropriate again, and cut her off directly, "Including me."
"So, from now on, if you need money, you'll have to ask me for it?" Xu Ruantang asked, shaking the item in her hand.
Chen Ji nodded, "Mm."
"That's good, you won't have a chance to cause trouble anymore."
Chen Ji: "......"
His wife really holds a grudge.
Xu Ruantang opened the passbook in front of Chen Ji and looked at the last line of numbers, thinking she was seeing things.
Pointing his finger at the string of numbers, he said, "Chen Ji, am I nearsighted?"
Chen Ji ruffled her hair and said firmly, "No."
"So you bought the yard, and you still have 88,000 yuan in your savings account?" This was simply unbelievable. Xu Ruantang stared at Chen Ji with a grim expression: "Is all of this your legal income?"
If you add the money given by his grandmother and Ye Lan, Chen Ji would be a household with 100,000 yuan.
It is said that a household with 10,000 yuan is equivalent to a millionaire in later times, so what about a household with 100,000 yuan...?
Where would a soldier like him get so much money?
Xu Ruantang couldn't help but overthink things, clutching her savings book tightly in her hand.
Chen Ji turned her face to face him, raised an eyebrow, and said calmly, "It's all legally obtained, what are you afraid of?"
After Chen Ji explained, Xu Ruantang finally understood that this was all the money he had earned since he was fifteen.
During his university years, Chen Ji participated in various competitions and won many cash prizes.
Thirteen years of allowances, numerous tasks, and the compensation for the injury sustained last time.
There was also a special sum of money in there, left to him by Chen Ji's second brother, Chen Rong.
“Every time we go on a mission, we write our wills, and this money is something my second brother mentions in every letter.”
He said that if he were gone, he would leave the money to his third brother to get married.
"If he were here, he would personally hand it over to them as compensation for the bride marrying a man like Chen Ji."
My second brother loves to joke, and he always expresses his concern in a joking tone.
It wasn't about compensation; it was about worrying about Chen Ji, not being able to let him go, and hoping someone would understand and forgive his cold and reserved nature.
...
Xu Ruantang began to fall in love with Chen Ji's big hands; their effect was no less than that of a hand warmer.
When she felt uncomfortable during her period, he would place his large hand on her lower abdomen, and she could sleep soundly all night.
The next day at work, Xu Ruantang took her keys and went to the neighbor's place for a quick look around.
The house next door was a bit bigger than Qiu Liang's, with a small kitchen and three rooms.
The outer room is very large and can be used as a main hall or as a storefront.
There is also a fairly large courtyard in the middle.
She silently made some plans in her mind before returning to the shop to get busy.
Even with a simple plan, you still need to buy the most basic furniture, such as a bed and a cabinet.
You need to buy at least a sewing machine, as well as a set of tailoring tools.
A rough estimate suggests that this will be another considerable expense.
On Tuesday afternoon, Xu Ruantang checked the time and went directly from the shop to the restaurant where she had arranged to meet Li Shuhe.
This time they had booked a state-run restaurant again, but they hadn't arrived when Xu Ruantang went there.
When Li Shuhe arrived, she gave her a wink.
Xu Ruantang turned her head and saw a man holding a book not far away.
The man had a refined appearance, was slender and unhurried, and looked like an intellectual.
This must be the one.
Li Shuhe didn't greet Xu Ruantang, but walked to the man's side and asked, "Is this Shen Qingwen, Comrade Shen?"
The man immediately noticed the book in Li Shuhe's hand, and a gentle smile graced his refined and scholarly face. "Yes, you are Li Shuhe, Comrade Li?"
That book was a secret code for blind dates; Li's father had somehow learned it from somewhere.
After exchanging pleasantries, Shen Qingwen led Li Shuhe into the restaurant.
As Li Shuhe passed by Xu Ruantang, she gave her a look, signaling her to come in quickly.
With a gentle smile on her face, Xu Ruantang waited for them to go inside, then found a spot not too far away to sit down and ordered a plate of dumplings to eat slowly.
Li Shuhe's younger brother is sunny and cheerful, while Chen Ji is taciturn and cold. She has a natural resistance to these two personalities.
It's not hard to tell that Shen Qingwen, a refined and elegant man with gentlemanly manners, considerate nature, and good looks, is Li Shuhe's type.
As expected, those who truly understand their daughter are not her parents; no wonder Mr. and Mrs. Li strongly urged her to come and meet them.
Xu Ruantang guessed that today's blind date should be successful.
Two little voices in her mind were making a bet: one said if she succeeded, she would bet an ice cream; the other said if she failed, she would bet a plate of pickled peanuts.
If they succeed, the villain who failed pays the bill. If they fail, the villain who succeeded pays the bill.
Anyway, she'll be eating either peanuts soaked in vinegar or ice cream later.
