Unaware of her husband’s messy thoughts, Wang Muxiao finally said, "Alright. Since this is a good thing, I won’t be angry with you. However, you are not allowed to participate directly in their business. No matter how much money you can earn, your safety is the priority. So, just sit in the back and wait to collect the money every year."
The moment he heard her words, Lu Cheng nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice and promised, "Wife, I will listen to you!"
Then he took out a piece of paper from his pocket, handed it to his wife, and added, "Wife, this is a written contract that states how many shares I own and how much I can get every year."
Taking the paper, Wang Muxiao said while pushing her husband away, "Alright, go take a shower so we can have dinner."
His body was covered in sweat and dirt. Although she didn’t despise him, she found his body odor unbearable during her pregnancy. It was strange since she used to enjoy his scent, but now she hates it.
Lu Cheng, used to his wife’s mood swings, went to bathe in a good mood after stealing a kiss from her.
Once alone, Wang Muxiao unwrapped the old cloth and counted the money. It took her more than ten minutes to finish counting. There was a total of 135,800 yuan and numerous coupons, including industrial coupons.
Holding the money, she smiled and muttered, "This business is too good to be true."
Thinking about the money she had entrusted to Lu Jueyu, she took out all her savings and counted it. Adding it to her husband’s money, she now had more than 200,000 yuan.
Wrapping 200,000 yuan in cloth, she kept 8,987 yuan in the jar for their emergency fund. Tomorrow, she would visit her sister-in-law and ask her to safeguard the money.
With a total savings of 300,000 yuan, her family could live comfortably for the rest of their lives.
Not long after she hid the money, her husband entered the room carrying a tray. The daughter had gone to sleep not long after the sunset and was sleeping beside them.
So, the two of them whispered to each other while eating dinner, fearing that their daughter would be woken up if they talked too loud. The days were peaceful and boring, but the two of them were happy and satisfied in their hearts.
Early the next morning, Li Chenmo woke up before dawn. The moment he opened his eyes, he saw his wife’s sleeping face. Looking at her peaceful expression, he smiled and kissed her before letting her go.
After putting on his shoes, he left the room and went to the kitchen to boil water. Then, he went to the backyard and drew water from the pond to wash up.
The mountain spring water was cold in the hot weather and warm in the cold weather. Although the morning temperature was low, the water was warm, making it comfortable to use.
Meanwhile, Dong Li woke up late and hurried to wash his face. free𝑤ebnovel.com
Seeing her son rushing, Lu Jueyu called out from the kitchen window, "Ah Li, your father said you don’t have to go to the pig pen. Just stay at home and help Mother water the vegetables."
Hearing this, Dong Li turned to his mother and said, "Mother, most of the work in the pig pen must be done in the morning. If I don’t go to help, won’t Father and my uncles be overwhelmed?"
"Your father said Jianmin and Jianguo will go over to help. Since they have enough people, you just help me," Lu Jueyu replied.
Since his parents had already made arrangements, Dong Li didn’t object. For him, working at the pig pen or at home was the same. So, he nodded and replied, "I understand, Mother."
Just after he finished washing up, Dong Huang woke up and came to the backyard in a daze. Seeing her, Dong Li said, "Xiao Huang, wait a moment. Brother will get some hot water for you to wash up."
Dong Huang didn’t fear the cold, but she hated the bone-chilling cold in the morning. If she could choose warm water, she wouldn’t insist on using cold water. So, when she heard her brother’s words, she nodded and waited obediently.
After a few minutes, Dong Li returned with a basin of hot water.
