Chapter 601 Private Money

When Xiang Yu came back from walking the dog in the morning, he happened to meet Zhang Wei who had just returned from outside.

Zhang Wei was carrying a bunch of things in his hands. Xiang Yu asked curiously, "Zhang Wei, what did you buy?"

“Colored pencils!”

“This whole bag?”

Xiang Yu was a little confused, "Why did you buy so many colored pencils?"

"No."

Zhang Wei rolled his eyes and calmly explained, "Aren't I asking you to help draw in the corridor? If I ask you to draw, you have to come up with pencils or something! How can I expect you to help me with the work?"

"Wait~Wait"

Xiang Yu's brain was a little out of order, and he swallowed his saliva: "You buy pencils and draw the wall for us?"

Zhang Wei blinked and asked in confusion, "Is there any problem?"

It is indeed very Zhang Wei, saving to the extreme.

"cough~"

Xiang Yu reminded: "Excuse me, what is the length of the excavator corridor?"

"About ten meters! What's wrong?"

"So do you think, with this pencil, that we can paint the entire corridor in our lifetime?"

Xiang Yu rolled his eyes at Zhang Wei. Unless he drew a picture of flying a kite, how long would it take him to draw such a long corridor with a pencil?
Zhang Wei finally reacted, looked at the size of the pencil, and thought about the length of his corridor: "Oh, yeah, what should I do? What should I buy?"

"You should buy wall paint!"

Xiang Yu said speechlessly: "Forget it, just leave it to me!"

Zhang Wei smacked his lips and said, "Okay then! Then I'll go and return this pencil?"

"No need. Give me the colored pencils too. They'll be useful for drawing later."

Xiang Yu took the bag and said, "This thing can be used to draw other things. It's not completely useless. Let's go! Let's go buy paint and ink together."

"Oh~ is it expensive?"

"do not know?"

Xiang Yu took Zhang Wei to the supermarket and bought a lot of painting-related things before returning to the apartment.

Zhang Wei held his wallet with some heartache.

Xiang Yu returned to the apartment and put all his things upstairs so that he could use them when the time came.

At night, at 3702:, Ziqiao came back dragging his tired body.

Meijia's depressed face suddenly showed a smile, and she stood up and said to Ziqiao: "Husband, how are you today?"

Ziqiao waved his hand and said, "Don't mention it. I've been busy all day today and will be busy again tomorrow. I've almost finished dealing with other things. I plan to sell the remaining computers and printers at a low price tomorrow."

"This is for you. I made it myself."

Ziqiao took out something that looked like a sunny doll.

"Hey, it's so ugly! What is this?"

Meijia took the doll and felt sweet in her heart, but she began to criticize the workmanship of the doll.

"I originally wanted to make a sunny doll of Ikkiu, but then I remembered that you said you haven't been sleeping well recently, so I added some sleeping herbs and an air plant. I heard that it can absorb formaldehyde. Put it by the bed when you sleep, so that you won't disturb me by tossing and turning."

"You are not angry with me~"

Mika's eyes turned slightly red.

Ziqiao pretended to be relaxed and said, "It's no big deal. I'll buy a more expensive and better suit when I make enough money."

"By the way, I have a gift for you too."

Meijia's face suddenly showed a depressed expression, and she hit Ziqiao with a toy pillow while saying, "When Curry Sauce and I were shopping together today, Curry Sauce also bought you a suit."

"What? A suit!"

Ziqiao looked very surprised.

"Yeah~ Curry Sauce said he bought it for you to thank you. I bought one for you too."

Mika's tone was a little sour.

Ziqiao said nonchalantly, "Oh, it's not a big deal. Are you overthinking it again? Curry Sauce also meant well. I helped her and she gave me something. Isn't this normal?"

Meijia said disdainfully: "Overthinking? Ha! Am I that kind of person?"

[Meijia: Curry Sauce is younger than me, cuter than me, and dumber than me!! How can I not think too much? ]

Ziqiao then realized that Meijia seemed jealous, and quickly comforted her: "It's nothing."

Meijia said unhappily, "Giving gifts should be based on the sentiment behind the gift. How can you just give someone else's husband a suit?"

Ziqiao thought about it, hesitated for a moment and said, "Then I will go back later?"

Mika said unhappily, "No! Curry Sauce will think I'm stingy."

Zi Qiao could only say: "Then I won't return it."

Meijia said unhappily, "No way! How can you give a suit to someone else's husband right away?"

Ziqiao said with a bitter face: "Miss, why are you back to the same old story again? Are you a parrot?"

Meijia gave Ziqiao a look and let him understand it himself.

Ziqiao sat down, put his arm around Meijia, patted Meijia's shoulder and said, "Okay, the suit that Curry Sauce gave me is nothing compared to yours. Besides, I haven't seen the suit yet!"

"I don't care~, I'm not happy~ um~"

Mika pouted and hit the shark pillow in her hand hard.

Zi Qiao could only say: "How about this, I'll ask Xiao Hei to bring the compressor, and we'll send the suit to heaven together?"

"Hmph, sweet talk."

Mika turned her head away.

Mika stood up with an unhappy look on her face, opened the closet, and took out two suits.

"Guess which one is the one I gave you."

Ziqiao's heart suddenly sank. If he guessed wrong, he would definitely die in a very ugly way.

Zi Qiao was observing two suits, one was well made and the other was just average. With years of experience in wearing suits, Zi Qiao pointed to the one that was well made and looked more suitable and said, "This one!"

Meijia immediately showed a happy smile.

"Okay, you've passed."

Ziqiao breathed a sigh of relief, took the suit and said, "Hey, my wife is so nice. The suit I bought for her fits me perfectly."

As he spoke, Ziqiao picked up Curry Sauce's suit and compared it to his own body.

"It's a lot bigger."

Meijia glanced at Suit and Ziqiao, and said with a hint of meaning: "It seems that in Curry Sauce's heart, you are just a fat man!"

"I'm called tall and majestic."

After coaxing Meijia into submission, Ziqiao touched the suit and asked happily, "Hey, where did you buy it? How much did it cost?"

"I bought it at a street stall for 19 yuan."

Zi Qiao held the price tag and said speechlessly: "But it clearly says less than two thousand."

Meijia said proudly, "Can't I buy it during the discount period?"

"Play a few off?"

Mika was stunned. This calculation was too difficult.

"Comminuted fracture."

Ziqiao suddenly seemed to remember something and asked, "Wait~ How did you buy this with the money? It can't be~"

Mika snorted and said, "What? I bought this with my own money."

Zi Qiao was surprised and asked, "You still hide your own money?"

After getting married, he only kept a little pocket money for himself and gave the rest of the money to Meijia for safekeeping.

Mika then realized that she was exposed, and hurriedly took the suit and urged: "Come and try it~"

"Be honest, be lenient if you confess, and be lenient if you resist."

"Well, I found it in the doll's belly when I was selling it today."

Seeing Ziqiao's unbelieving look, Meijia had no choice but to say, "It's true. I'll tell you a secret. In fact, I have hidden money in many places around the house."

"why?"

Ziqiao was puzzled.

Meijia said: "Because you can't put all your eggs in one basket."

Ziqiao understood and said, "So you put the egg into the baby's belly?"

"Not only in the doll's belly, but also in all the very secret places where I hide money, I put money there, so that even if my wallet is lost, I won't starve to death."

Mika said with a grin.

Zi Qiao complained: "Have you watched too many idol dramas?"

Meijia pushed Ziqiao and said angrily, "It's all because of you! You often stole my money back then. If I hadn't hidden it deep enough, you would have taken it all!"

"Okay, okay, it's all over. Do you remember where you hid the money? If we find it out, maybe we can get out of poverty!"

Ziqiao became happier the more he talked.

Meijia said guiltily, "Of course I don't remember! My memory is not good to begin with, and it has become even worse since I got pregnant."

Ziqiao was speechless for a while, "You know your memory is not good, so when you were hiding, did you do anything to mark your words? Like, open sesame or something like that?"

"Well, of course."

Mika took out a pink notebook from under her pillow, which contained a lot of strange contents.

"Pikachu's three ears, the pig girl in the mud, the real frozen funds, the doomsday button, the sealed books...what does this all mean?"

Looking at the contents on the notebook, Ziqiao was completely confused and didn't understand a single word.

Meijia said confidently: "This is the code for where I hid the money. I'm not stupid. If I just write where I hid the money, if this notebook is discovered by others, then I will be in trouble!"

After a long silence, Ziqiao asked, "Do you still remember what these code words mean?"

He suddenly had a bad feeling
Meijia blinked and pretended to be innocent and said, "I just made this up on a whim and forgot everything."

I knew it!

Ziqiao looked depressed.

Meijia suggested: "Hey, Yifei and Dali are smarter, we can ask them."

"That won't work. There's no name on the money, so it won't be clear when the time comes."

Ziqiao smiled and said, "We have to ask indirectly and be careful. This is a secret operation. The code name is "My Family's Treasure!"

Meijia was thinking about where to hide her private money if it was found.
-
In the evening, after finishing his pregnancy preparations, Xiang Yu took a bath with Nuolan. They were both a little hungry and decided to have a midnight snack.

Xiang Yu prepared enough food in the refrigerator, took out a plate of mutton, and had a small hotpot in the evening.

"Yeah? There's a chance to win prizes if you buy lamb rolls now?"

Xiang Yu pulled out a few hundred-yuan bills in confusion: "Who is it that actually hid the money in the mutton?"

"what happened?"

Nuolan asked as she dried her hair with a towel.

Xiang Yu looked at Nuolan with a little suspicion: "Did you buy this mutton roll?"

After all, I haven’t bought lamb rolls in the supermarket recently.

"what?"

Nuolan was stunned for a second, tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said, "No, it seems that Yifei came back from buying groceries yesterday and found that there was no room in the refrigerator, so she brought this plate of mutton rolls to me. This money is definitely not mine."

"Not mine either."

Normally, Xiang Yu doesn't pay much attention to money. He usually withdraws cash and then figures out how much he has spent later. It is impossible for him to be like Zhang Wei, who would trace the source and where every penny was spent. But he also won't put money in the refrigerator.

Who would hide money in a place like this? And it was discovered right away?
"Forget it~ I'll ask Yifei tomorrow."

Xiang Yu was too lazy to think too much. The hot pot was ready, and he shouldn’t think too much while eating.
