Professor Gu's daily life in the countryside after his rebirth

Chapter 31 You Manage the Money in Our Family

Wang Yuehong wiped her hands and followed her husband to the main room where her parents-in-law lived.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw my father-in-law with a sullen face and not saying anything, and my mother-in-law was unhappy.

When he saw his daughter-in-law come in, Liu Jinshui wanted to say a few words, but when he saw her red eyes, he didn't have the heart to blame her anymore.

Ultimately, it’s all because of poverty. If the family is wealthy and has enough food, who would be willing to get angry over a bite to eat?

Liu Jinshui signaled his wife to hand the food coupons that Gu Zhan had asked them to pass on to Wang Yuehong: "This is what your brother-in-law asked me to pass on to you."

"What?" Wang Yuehong walked forward in a daze, took the thing handed to her by her mother-in-law, took it in her hand and took a closer look. It turned out to be two food coupons, one for five catties of coarse grains, and the other for five catties of fine grains. They were the kind that circulated throughout the province.

Wang Yuehong's first reaction was that these two tickets were worth some money. Then she realized that her brother-in-law had personally named her and given her the two food tickets, which meant he knew what she had done in the kitchen before.

For a moment, she felt a little ashamed.

Although her husband didn't say anything, Huang Guihua didn't intend to let this ignorant daughter-in-law go.

"Yuehong, you live a fine life, and I have nothing to say. After all, we are all family. Only when we think and work together can we live a good life. But I won't allow you to bully Xiaoxi. In a broad sense, she is just your sister-in-law. In a closer sense, she is my daughter."

"Mom, I just...Jianhua has been craving noodles for a long time, but I haven't been willing to make them."

Seeing that her daughter-in-law wanted to explain, Huang Guihua waved her hand and said, "I know what you're thinking, but what I want to say is that Xiaoxi is my daughter. When she comes here, she's going back to her own home. As long as she doesn't make any mistakes of principle, she can do whatever she wants in this family."

Hearing her parents-in-law say this, Wang Yuehong felt that it was unfair: "But, isn't it true that once a daughter is married off, she is like spilled water."

Seeing that his daughter-in-law didn't understand the key to the matter at all, Liu Jinshui simply explained it more clearly.

"For the time being, we still have our share earned by your mother-in-law and me. It's fair and reasonable for us to give it to anyone. Don't bring your Wang family's ways here. My Liu family only has two children in this generation. I feel sorry for them."

"I..." Seeing that Wang Yuehong was about to say something else, Liu Zhong stopped her with a look.

Seeing his son's actions, Liu Jinshui said to his son and daughter-in-law earnestly, "I think Gu Zhan is a promising kid."

Therefore, they should take good care of the two of them now. When they become successful in the future, how can they not remember the favor they have done for the couple?

He would not tell these words to the couple. How much they could understand depended on the understanding of the two children.

But at the moment, Gu Zhan undoubtedly has something against the couple, otherwise he would not have specifically explained this matter.

Liu Jinshui, who had figured out the key, was both happy and worried. He was happy that his daughter and son-in-law seemed to finally have a good life, but he was worried that this stingy daughter-in-law had offended Gu Zhan.

Just now at her mother's house, Liu Xiaoxi was only concerned about Gu Zhan's health and didn't bother to ask about other things.

Now that he was back at the Gu family, Liu Xiaoxi remembered it.

"Did the trip go well?"

Gu Zhan turned his head and looked at Liu Xiaoxi's eyebrows with a tender gaze: "Thanks to my wife, everything went smoothly."

Then, Gu Zhan took out a neatly arranged stack of banknotes from his inside pocket and handed it to Liu Xiaoxi: "Open it and take a look."

Liu Xiaoxi squeezed the banknote slightly, feeling the thickness of the note in her hand, and looked at Gu Zhan in disbelief: "You haven't done anything illegal, have you?"

She was really frightened by Zhao Dani's words, so her first reaction was whether the money was earned through legitimate means.

Gu Zhan was both angry and amused. He imitated his mother-in-law's actions that afternoon, reached out and gently tapped Liu Xiaoxi's forehead, pretending to be angry: "So, in my wife's eyes, I'm a person who doesn't do serious things."

Gu Zhan's sudden change of mood made Liu Xiaoxi feel a little guilty.

He worked so hard to make money, but I actually doubted him.

Thinking of this, Liu Xiaoxi suddenly reached out and gently hugged Gu Zhan from behind, saying softly, "It must be very hard, right?"

At this moment, all the fatigue in Gu Zhan's heart had disappeared. He let Liu Xiaoxi hug him and said softly, "When I think of you, when I think of our daughter, I don't feel tired at all."

What Gu Zhan said was absolutely true. He had lived his entire life for his wife and daughter. Now, all the efforts he made so that they could have a good life were not considered hard work.

After a long time, Liu Xiaoxi finally withdrew from Gu Zhan's arms. She put the money that Gu Zhan had just given her back into Gu Zhan's palm and said, "Keep this money."

Gu Zhan laughed and stuffed the money back into Liu Xiaoxi's hand: "This is for you, just take it. From now on, my wife will manage the money in our family."

"But I don't know how to manage money!" Although Liu Xiaoxi didn't know how much money he had, it was obvious that it was not small. He always felt uneasy when he kept it in his own hands.

"Nonsense, how could it not happen?" Gu Zhan looked at the person in front of him jokingly: "Aren't you managing your dowry money very well?"

When Liu Xiaoxi heard this, her face suddenly flushed: "I... I just thought that we have no money, and that we should save that money in case something happens in the future."

When Gu Zhan heard this, his nose felt sore and he almost cried. He tried hard to hold back the soreness in his nose and said, "I'm sorry."

What Gu Zhan didn’t say was, I’m sorry for making you suffer so much in your previous life.

Perhaps after she left home in her previous life, the living expenses she sent back were embezzled by Gu Jun, and she and her daughter spent one desperate day and night after another using the little money her parents gave her?

After calming down, Gu Zhan grabbed Liu Xiaoxi's hand holding the money and said solemnly, "Wife, take this money. There will be more money in the future."

When she heard that there would be more money in the future, Liu Xiaoxi's almond-shaped eyes turned into crescent shapes with a smile.

Gu Zhan was moved and pulled the person into his arms and started to chew on her. Finally, Liu Xiaoxi calmed Gu Zhan down completely by saying that she was pregnant.

After a long time, Gu Zhan finally crawled out of Liu Xiaoxi's arms: "Wife, let's go to the county for a check-up tomorrow."

Liu Xiaoxi knew that it would be better for pregnant women to go to the hospital for a check-up, but almost no one in the village had done so.

On the one hand, I feel that the child is a gift from God, so there is no need to do any examinations. On the other hand, the examinations cost money. Nowadays, everyone lives a tight life and can’t even get enough to eat. How can we have the spare money to do any examinations?

After thinking about it, Liu Xiaoxi decided to listen to Gu Zhan, but there was no need to go to the hospital for a check-up.

Hearing that Liu Xiaoxi didn't want to go to the county hospital to save money, Gu Zhan directly refused: "Wife, for the sake of our daughter's health, you should go to the county town with me. It doesn't cost much."

Seeing Gu Zhan's eyes filled with pleading and expectation, Liu Xiaoxi softened her heart: "Okay, then let's go to the county for a check-up." She also wanted the baby in her belly to be born safely and healthily.
