Chapter 58 -58: Pocket Money

“Buy them all!”

As soon as Susu finished speaking, she saw both an adult and a child staring at her.

Looking at their furrowed brows, Susu found it amusing and lifted her chin, “Don’t worry, we have money.”

Worried they might be shocked, Susu explained, “Buying it would be more reassuring. Firstly, we won’t have to worry about the landlord getting greedy seeing the good business and frequently raising the rent, or suddenly refusing to rent to us.

Secondly, even if it’s not used for now, we can always lease it out and just wait to collect the rent every month.”

Lu Xiaoting pondered for a moment, then nodded, “Hm.”

Family Court

The first thing Susu did when she got home was to double-lock the door.

“Luckily I haven’t had the chance to go to the bank to deposit the money.”

Lu Xiaoting watched his wife pull out a small locked box from the wardrobe, her face beaming with delight.

Hugging the box, she sat cross-legged on the bed and began counting the money.

Watching the bed covered with bills, coins, and one and two yuan notes, Susu suddenly felt overwhelmed.

She waved at her husband, “What are you waiting for? Come and help me.”

“Xiao Yu, you should sort the coins.”

“Lu Xiaoting, you handle sorting the bills by denomination and stack them up.”

Rubbing her hands together, Susu chuckled three times, “I’ll handle the big money.”

Lu Xiaoting was amused by his wife’s small antics, his thin lips curving into a beautiful arc.

The room was quiet, filled only with the sound of money rustling.

“1, 2, 3, 4… 4987 yuan and fifty-seven cents.”

Hearing his wife’s count, Lu Xiaoting’s pupils widened, knowing that his wife earned quite a bit each month, but he was still startled to hear the specific amount.

“Hahaha, counting money is really fun.”

Susu pulled out fifty-seven cents and handed it to Xiao Yu, who was staring with wide eyes.

“Here, Xiao Yu, this is your pocket money from Aunt.”

Xiao Yu’s mouth gaped open, and he shook his head and waved his hands, “No no, Aunt, keep it for yourself.”

“Aunt is in a good mood, be obedient.”

Grinning, Susu pulled out a two yuan note and handed it to her husband, “Here, your pocket money.”

Seeing him staring at her with dark eyes, unmoving, Susu stuffed it into his hand impatiently.

“Alright, you’ve handed over your salary, so you should keep at least two yuan on you.”

Lu Xiaoting: “…”

Susu set aside 2800 yuan and planned to deposit the rest in the bank that afternoon.

“Come with me to the bank this afternoon, I want to deposit the money.”

“Hm.”

As soon as Susu stepped out with the basin, she ran into Sister Wang.

“I saw your door was closed, I thought you hadn’t come back yet.”

“Just got back, Sister-in-law is heading out.”

Sister-in-law Wang patted the basket on her arm, “Old Song wants some buckwheat noodles, we’re out of cucumbers at home, so I’m going out to buy some. Do you need anything? I’ll bring it back for you.”

Susu thought for a moment. They didn’t need anything at home, so she didn’t ask Sister Wang for any favors.

“Okay, then I’ll be going.”

“Hey, Sister-in-law, take care.”

…

After the meal, Susu usually took a nap, and the males didn’t go out.

When Susu opened her eyes, she realized she had slept until almost three o’clock.

Turning her head, she saw them either reading or doing homework.

Yawning, Susu looked over and saw neat numbers on the little guy’s notebook.

She patted the little fellow’s head, offering praise.

“Xiao Yu is awesome, writing so neatly.”

Xiao Yu was praised and smiled happily, with his eyes squinting into a thin line.

Once the little guy had finished his homework, the family of three went to the bank again.

Susu held the passbook and sighed in relief; keeping so much cash at home had been a little unsettling.

Now, everything was sorted, as long as they kept the passbook safe.

“Hey, what’s wrong with you?”

Susu reached out to nudge the man, looking up because she didn’t want to miss the expression on his face.

Something had been off about him since he came back.

Lu Xiaoting looked at his wife’s worried face, sighed, but said nothing.

“Why are you sighing? Come on, talk to me.”

Susu was equally anxious.

The man’s large hand softly caressed Susu’s stomach, avoiding making his wife anxious; his brows furrowed slightly as he slowly began to speak.

“I just feel like I’m a big man but so useless. My wife wants to buy a place and I can’t help, instead, you have to pay for it yourself.”

“What are you talking about?”

Susu frowned. “How are you useless? Weren’t you the one running around looking for the shop?

And besides, haven’t you been contributing your salary? Doesn’t the money you earn cover our food and drinks?”

Lu Xiaoting sighed, “My salary is nothing compared to what you earn.”

“How can you say it’s nothing? Isn’t our entire family relying on you?”

Susu held the man’s face in her hands, looking straight into his eyes and said,

“You are Lu Gong’an, serving the people, and you’re the pride of me, Xiao Yu, and our baby in my belly. You serve the people outside, while I strive for better living conditions for our future child.

Everything is for our little family…”

Susu spoke until she was out of breath, then noticed the man staring mutely at her.

Annoyed, she slapped him lightly, “What are you staring at? Say something.”

“I’m looking at you.”

Lu Xiaoting raised his eyebrows, chuckled softly, “My wife is so amazing, makes money, and is so eloquent.”

Susu glared at him playfully and lay back down on her human cushion.

…

With things on her mind, Susu woke up early.

“Why not sleep a bit longer? I’ll wake you up later.”

Susu shook her head, “Can’t sleep anymore, let’s get the shop sorted first.”

“Alright.”

After Susu got ready, the two of them hurriedly left, leaving Xiao Yu at home.

The landlord must have gotten worn down by Susu’s persistence; he finally offered a discount of fifty yuan.

“Wow, girl, that mouth of yours, I’d be happy if my son had half of your talent.”

Susu: “…”

After leaving the housing authority for the second time, Susu held her small bag tightly, her mouth unable to close from joy.

Once she had arranged for the shop’s renovations, Susu rushed back to her flat without stopping.

“The situation is like this, Sister Hong, I think you should look after the shop, the salary remains the same.

There is one thing though; the shop is relatively stable, but it probably won’t sell as much volume as you running around outside every day.

But definitely, it won’t have days where the weather was too harsh, and you couldn’t set up your stall.”

Since Sister Hong was the only female colleague, Susu naturally took care of her first.

Wang Hong nodded without hesitation, “Alright, I’ll go.”

Susu was surprised, having thought Sister Hong would need more time to think.

“As you say, Susu. If it weren’t for you, my husband would still be lying on the kang.”

“Has your brother-in-law’s health improved a lot?”

Speaking of her husband, Wang Hong nodded happily, “Yes, ever since I started earning money, we haven’t had to stop his medicine every two days due to lack of money; his diet improved too.

Now he can get out of bed, and the doctor said in another three months, he should be able to live normally.”
