Chapter 42 I Have Money
"What's wrong? Yanzhi? Why are you crying?" Su Tao saw the little girl coming out with tears in the corners of her eyes, and asked with concern.
Yanzhi wiped away her tears, walked over and smiled widely, "No, I just took a shower and the water stains on my face haven't dried yet."
Su Tao carefully looked at the little girl and was relieved to find that she did not look sad. "Well, go to bed early. Children need to go to bed early and get up early to grow taller."
"Yeah." The little girl nodded vigorously. Her well-behaved look made Su Tao so cute. She was so adorable.
After watching the little girl walk into the room obediently, Su Tao picked up the man's changed clothes and walked into the bathroom, "You are not allowed to peek!"
He Chuan looked at Su Tao, who was staring at him with a warning look, and closed the door. He couldn't help but smile. Was he afraid that he would blame her if he saw her not washing it cleanly?
After closing the door, Su Tao pulled the washing machine out of the system and sorted the three people's clothes, planning to run a second load. He put in their underwear first, added the system's laundry detergent, and pressed the start button. The washing machine spun at full speed, and after about five minutes, the system stopped and displayed that it was finished. Su Tao opened the machine and took out the clothes, finding them spotlessly clean. He hadn't added any water, and he didn't know how the washing machine got the water, but after the wash, the clothes were dry, just a little damp. Su Tao then put the three people's outerwear in the washing machine, and this time the machine finished the clothes in 10 minutes. This was high-tech, and Su Tao was very satisfied. This investment was well worth it.
He Chuan waited at the door, and saw that the door opened in less than ten minutes.
"Forget it if you can't wash it. Let me do it." He Chuan looked at Su Tao with a smile.
"Who said I can't wash? Here, I'm done." Su Tao put the basin of laundry in front of He Chuan.
"Help me dry the clothes, I'm going back to my room to sleep." Su Tao stretched and yawned as he walked towards the room.
The man shook his head, watching the woman leave with a doting look. He didn't look back until she disappeared through the doorway, his gaze fixed on the clothes in front of him. He didn't think she could finish washing three people's clothes in just over ten minutes, so he decided to check on the washing.
He Chuan unfolded the clothes and found they were truly spotless, without a single stain. They even had a delicate fragrance. The water had been wrung out of the clothes. He couldn't imagine Su Tao had such great arm strength. He Chuan's forehead was filled with questions. Never mind. Since they were clean, he'd just hang them up.
Su Tao was just about to go to bed when a ding sounded, and the system prompted him that his sensitivity had increased by +300. He hadn't noticed it before, so he thought it was gone. He didn't expect it to come now. Su Tao chuckled. This man is quite reserved, holding back until now.
Lying on the bed where the man had slept before, although the bedding had been changed, Suta seemed to still be able to smell the familiar smell of the man, which was very pleasant and gave people a very safe feeling. Su Tao's eyelids gradually became sleepy and he fell into a deep dream.
-------------------------------------
After breakfast in the morning, Su Tao looked at the man who was about to go out to work and said, "I plan to ask the captain for leave. I will go to the town to buy some things today. Remember to come back for lunch. I will cook for you."
"No need to ask for leave, I'll go down and help you cut the pig grass." The man's low voice sounded, then he turned and went back into the room. When he came out again, he handed a stack of bills to Su Tao.
"What?" Su Tao looked at the man in confusion.
"Take it, and buy whatever you want in town." The man forcefully stuffed the money and tickets into Su Tao's hands.
Su Tao wanted to return the money to He Chuan, "I don't want it, I have my own money."
The man's dark eyes looked at Su Tao steadily, seriously and earnestly, "Here, since you are dating me now, I have the responsibility to let you live a good life. How can I spend your money?" He Chuan knew that the things Su Tao bought were definitely not spent on herself. Even if she bought food and daily necessities in town, they were used for this family. How could he let her spend his money.
Su Tao roughly estimated the money in her hand, not examining it closely, and figured it was around two hundred yuan. She looked at He Chuan in surprise. Where did he get so much money? Su Tao's own fortune was only around two hundred yuan, and after spending a portion of it, he only had a hundred or so left. He Chuan had given her two hundred yuan in one sitting. He wasn't giving her everything he had.
"How do you have so much money? How can you give it all to me?" Su Tao asked with a trembling voice.
"Not all, but there's some at home. I have ways to make money, so take it." He Chuan did more work than others and earned twice as much, so logically he shouldn't be this poor. It was mainly because his sister, He Yanzhi, was in poor health, and much of He Chuan's money went into medicine for her medical treatment. He Chuan had other ways to make a living, but he didn't want to tell Su Tao in detail. He did save some money, but his modest success made him vulnerable to discrimination. If he showed off his wealth, he feared envy.
The man insisted on doing so, and Su Tao had no choice but to take it for now. She wouldn't spend it recklessly anyway, and it would be used for this family.
Only after seeing Su Tao accept the money did the man leave with peace of mind.
Su Tao watched the man disappear at the end of the path before turning and leaving. She planned to borrow a bicycle from Zhang Jidong, a educated youth, to get to town. Su Tao considered whether she should buy one herself; it was really inconvenient to live without transportation. But she thought for now. A Phoenix brand bicycle cost nearly 200 yuan, and you'd need a ticket. She couldn't afford it. There weren't many electric cars available for exchange in the system. Without transportation, Su Tao felt a little discouraged. She had to find a way to earn money; only with money could she buy the things she wanted.
Su Tao found the house where Zhang Jidong was staying and asked Zhang Jidong to borrow his car. Zhang Jidong readily agreed. Su Tao felt a little uncomfortable that he had to borrow someone else's car every time.
"Then I'll come back at noon and have dinner at my place." Su Tao thought that he would have to trouble others to borrow his car again in the future, so he treated them to a meal as a thank you.
Zhang Jiedong's eyes lit up when he heard this. He had been coveting Su Tao's cooking skills for a long time and thought that he would never be able to eat it again after leaving the dormitory. He didn't expect that there would still be another chance.
Su Tao watched Zhang Jidong nod his head like a chick pecking at rice, and couldn't help but smile. His smile was like the flowers blooming on the branches, full of charm. Zhang Jidong was so moved that he was stunned on the spot. He had always liked Su Tao, but it was a pity that such a beautiful girl was already taken, and he felt sad.
Su Tao skillfully mounted his 28-inch bicycle and headed towards the town.
