Chapter 18 Xu Lei's Small Treasury



Xu Lei pulled Jiang Yuzhu back to the house.

Everyone saw the third brother’s dark face and knew that he was angry.

At the same time, one thing is also clear.

That is, Jiang Yuzhu is the one that the third brother loves.

The two entered the house.

Xu Lei hugged Jiang Yuzhu tightly, wanting to absorb the warmth from her body.

"You..." Jiang Yuzhu stood there blankly.

"Let me hold you for a while." Xu Lei had been suppressing the emotions in his heart.

Only when I smelled the familiar fragrance did I slowly come to my senses.

Although I knew from a young age that I was not my parents' favorite child.

But it still hurts to see my parents treating me like this for the sake of my other siblings.

He knew very well what his parents were thinking.

Those who are capable can help those whose conditions are slightly worse.

But they considered their eldest brother, fourth brother and youngest sister, but not him.

Xu Lei thought more than once, if it was the eldest brother or the fourth brother who had a promising future, would they still do this?

He didn't dare to verify it.

So he fought desperately to climb up, and in the army for so many years, he bravely moved forward regardless of the dangers of life and death.

Because he knows that only what he holds in his hands is his.

"I'm sorry for making you suffer."

Jiang Yuzhu could feel the sadness in Xu Lei.

He is such a tall man, but at this moment, he is like a wronged child who wants to seek comfort.

There is no child who does not expect the love of his parents.

Especially for families with many children.

No preference, just fairness.

But this is all wishful thinking.

Those who are favored are fearless, but those who are ignored have to endure everything silently.

"It's okay, I can cook what I like. It just so happens that I can't eat the food your mother cooks."

She has to cook just for the sake of her own stomach.

It is impossible to go out and cook on your own.

So this result is not unacceptable.

Xu Lei let go of Jiang Yuzhu and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely take you away from here."

He pulled a passbook out of his pocket and said, "This is for you to keep."

"This..." Jiang Yuzhu was stunned.

Doesn't he send money home every month?

Add to that his own living expenses, where is the money left?

"Open it and take a look."

Xu Lei was extremely glad that he had been careful at that time.

This is also the confidence he will have in his future life.

Jiang Yuzhu opened the passbook.

“Oh my God!”

this……

Jiang Yuzhu looked at it carefully three times and it was 3,600 yuan.

How can there be so many!

"This is my allowance, as well as bonuses from missions big and small. I've saved it all these years."

"I'll keep it for you now."

Xu Lei believed in Jiang Yuzhu and was willing to hand over all his wealth to her.

"This...I can't have it!"

Jiang Yuzhu felt that the passbook was a little hot.

This is the money Xu Lei earned with his life.

"You are my wife. If I don't give it to you, who else can I give it to?"

"Here."

Without waiting for Jiang Yuzhu to react, Xu Lei stuffed the passbook into Jiang Yuzhu's pocket.

"I'm going to work. I'll come back early at noon to help you light a fire and cook." Xu Lei said and left.

"Huh?"

The person has left.

Jiang Yuzhu took out the passbook and checked it again and again.

Finally I put it in my own space.

Jiang Yuzhu's heart could not calm down until Xu Lei had been gone for a long time.

Looked at the time.

After changing into a rather worn-out outfit, Jiang Yuzhu went to look for Old Lady Xu.

"Mom, where did you put the food? Take some out. It's time to cook."

Old Mrs. Xu is feeding the chickens.

He put down his work and untied a bunch of keys from his belt.

Then she went into the house and opened her big box.

All the food in the house is in there.

There is also a small door to the cellar in the corner of the wall, which stores cabbage, potatoes, radishes, and jars of various pickled vegetables.

"If you save money, you won't be poor in food and clothing. If you don't plan well, you will be poor."

"You young people just don't know how to live." Old Mrs. Xu couldn't help but mutter.

Jiang Yuzhu glanced at the food and curled her lips. This job was not easy. "Mom, I understand."

There are only so many things. It is not easy to make them delicious and satisfying.

Jiang Yuzhu picked up the small ladle and played with it curiously for a while.

This is a tool made by cutting a small gourd in half after drying it. It can be used to scoop grain, water, etc.

"What's so fun about the ladle!" Old Mrs. Xu couldn't help but frown when she saw the third daughter-in-law playing with it.

Is it okay to leave lunch and dinner to her?

Don't waste the food.

"I'm just curious. It's different from what I have at home." Jiang Yuzhu is not afraid of Old Lady Xu.

"I just don't understand why we had to let a bunch of young people like you who don't know anything about grains come here. You're just causing trouble!" Old Mrs. Xu couldn't help but complain.

Ever since this educated youth came to the village, there has been no peace.

I can't do anything well and I'm never satisfied with what I eat.

I can’t say it yet, and I wouldn’t be happy if I did.

When the work points are not enough to support myself, I still have to ask them to share the burden.

They don't even have enough food of their own, and yet they have to give it to outsiders. Naturally, the villagers are unwilling to do so.

What's more, this group of boys and girls have disturbed the hearts of the young girls and boys in the village.

"Hey, two spoonfuls of cornmeal will do. Why do you need three spoonfuls?"

When Mrs. Xu saw Jiang Yuzhu scoop three spoonfuls of cornmeal, she felt very distressed.
