Chapter 16: Auntie, Who Are You? ( 1 )
Because of Wang Muxiao's tone, Lu Jueyu could only say, "Brother Chenmo gave me his money and coupons yesterday. He said I can use it."
At this moment, the two sisters-in-law widened their eyes and gasped. They looked at her with disbelief.
"He gave you all the money?" Chen Anwen asked.
"En." Lu Jueyu nodded.
"He said you can use it as you like?" Wang Muxiao asked.
"En." She nodded again.
After asking two questions, both of them looked at each other, and Chen Anwen said, "Jueyu, because he trusts you, the more you can't spend money recklessly. You need to save money and plan for your future. Less than two months, you are going to marry him and we don't know when he will fully recover. At least three months after marriage, you still need to buy food. You also need to save money for his medical treatment. All this needs a lot of money."
Lu Jueyu understood what they meant and nodded. Although she has a lot of food, she can't get it out without a good cover. It's suffocating to have wealth but not be able to use it.
Seeing that she understood, they were relieved and asked her to go back to her room to rest.
Back in her room, Lu Jueyu locked the door and went to her own space. As soon as she entered the space, she saw that the crops had been harvested and the seedlings had grown halfway. After thinking about it, she walked into the house. She took out the can and poured all the money that Li Chenmo gave her on the ground.
She untied a bundle and counted the money. Each bundle of banknotes has a different denomination but the same total amount of 1000 yuan. While counting the money, Lu Jueyu looked at the money circulating in this era, and found that it was very different from the money she used before. While she carries some cash with her, she lives in a time when everything can be paid for with WeChat Pay or Alipay. So, she rarely uses cash, especially coins.
Now looking at those 0.01 yuan to 1 yuan coins, she finds it very interesting. After counting for a while, she was surprised. Li Chenmo actually has so much money. Not including coins, his money totaled 19,900 yuan. With the coins and her little money, she had more than twenty thousand yuan. In this day and age, that's a lot of money.
She looked at the coupons and money while she was lost in thought. She heard from her mother that Li Chenmo held a high position in the army, and in addition to food, meat, and other supplies, he also had a monthly salary of 150 yuan. He has been in the army for eleven years, and even if he is rewarded for completing the mission, it is impossible to earn so much money.
She tried to recall the content of the novel but found nothing mentioning how he earned this money. The novel begins from the moment the hero meets the heroine. According to the current progress of the plot, the heroine did not come to the village until three months later.
According to the plot of the original book, Lu Jueyu refused to marry Li Chenmo and ended up marrying another man. Later, her husband was arrested for having an affair with a widow and sent to prison. Lu Jueyu committed suicide by jumping into a well due to depression.
When she died, the hero Li Chenmo was already engaged to the heroine. Lu Jueyu's purpose in the novel is to make the heroine's image in the hero's heart more prominent.
Thinking about the plot, Lu Jueyu was considering whether to follow the plot and sever ties with the hero. After all, she is just a small cannon fodder, and she can't challenge the halo of the heroine at all. With her knowledge and ability, she believes that even without Li Chenmo, she can live well. But when she remembered his attitude towards her, she hesitated.
"Why does he have the same face as him? Why is he so nice to me? This makes everything so difficult." she said dejectedly.
Whenever she saw his face, her heart softened and she wanted to treat him well. There are still three months until the story begins. Perhaps she could postpone the wedding and observe the situation first. Therefore, when Li Chenmo met the heroine and fell in love with her, they could still cancel the marriage. Thinking of this, she left her own space with complicated emotions.
When she came out of the space, her sisters-in-law were still cooking. Estimating the time, she had a vague understanding of the flow of time in her own space. One minute outside is equivalent to one hour inside the space. As for the crops, she couldn't estimate the maturity time, so she chose not to think about it.
Since she promised Xiaofeng, she went to her brother's house with some milk candies. While the sister-in-law was cooking, her two elder brothers went to the mountains to pick bamboo. So, Lu Wenyi was tasked with watching Lu Wenfeng.
The door was unlocked, so she opened it and entered the bedroom. As soon as she entered the bedroom, she saw Lu Wenyi coaxing Lu Wenfeng who was crying, while Lu Wenmu was sleeping. She walked over, picked up the baby girl, and said, "There, there. Why is Xiaofeng crying again? "
When Lu Wenyi heard her voice, he was stunned and stared at her with wide eyes. As for Lu Wenfeng, from the moment she hugged her, she stopped crying and trembling in her arms. Lu Jueyu didn't know why the children were so afraid of her. As someone who loves children very much, she couldn't help but put her face on Lu Wenfeng's soft belly to tease her.
The baby still smells like milk and is very soft. After some teasing, the crying baby started giggling. Because of her young age, she can forget her aunt's previous bad deeds as soon as she is coaxed.
