Married to the army by mistake, abstinent boss becomes addicted to pampering his wife

Chapter 273 Gold Necklace

Breakfast was lamb wontons.

Ma Hongmei chopped the leftover mutton from last night into minced meat, mixed it with fennel to make filling, and then made wontons.

After finishing breakfast, Jiang Moli was about to leave for work when An Hui stopped her and gave her a new handbag.

"This is for you."

Jiang Moli took the bag, her eyes crinkling with a smile: "A birthday present? Thank you, Mom, give me a kiss~"

An Hui pushed away her face, which was leaning closer, and said with disgust, "Wipe your mouth, it's all oily."

"Then I'll kiss you after I've washed up."

Lu Dezhao said, "Xiao Jiang, you should go to work now, or you'll be late."

Jiang Moli glanced at her watch knowingly. "Oh dear, it's really too late. I'll go back to my room to get dressed first. Dad, could you please do me a favor and help my dear mom out?"

Lu Dezhao's smile was so wide it was almost impossible to suppress.

The third son's wife is really sensible.

Jiang Moli took her bag and returned to her bedroom.

Jiang Moli quite liked the burgundy leather bag, messenger style, with metal hardware, and about the size to fit an A5 notebook.

He had just stepped out with his new bag when he ran into Wu Miaoyun and two family members chatting happily.

"Aunt Wu, what are you saying that makes you so happy?"

Upon seeing her, all three fell silent.

Wu Miaoyun's upturned lips also fell, and she looked at her indifferently, "Didn't say anything? Are you going to work?"

Jiang Moli laughed, "Sigh, we've known each other for so long, why are you still being so formal? Okay, you two chat, I'm leaving."

After watching Jiang Moli walk away, Wu Miaoyun and her two family members commented on her departing figure for a while before turning around and entering the Lu family home.

Anhui was cleaning up the charcoal ash and bamboo skewers from last night's barbecue in the yard.

Wu Miaoyun approached and asked, "What are you doing here? Making a fire?"

An Hui pointed to two old iron pots, "We grilled lamb skewers. Last night it was my third brother's wife's birthday, and she invited some friends over to celebrate."

Wu Miaoyun curled her lips, "No wonder it was so noisy last night. These young people, they just do whatever comes to mind."

The conversation then shifted to Jiang Moli's age, "She'll be 21 after her birthday, right? She's been married for half a year now, why isn't there any sign of a relationship yet?"

An Hui smiled and said, "There's no rush. It'll come eventually."

Wu Miaoyun said, "How can we not be in a hurry? Your Xiaocheng will be 27 next year. In other families, the kids at this age are already old enough to run errands."

“It’s not a problem if the man is a bit older. But your Xiaoxue is more than a year older than my third son’s wife. You should hurry up with the wedding date.”

Speaking of her daughter, Wu Miaoyun chuckled and said, "Xiaoxue's date is set. The Liang family is having their banquet on January 1st, and we're having ours the day before. We'll need you to come and help out on those two days."

An Hui agreed, "Okay, let me know when the time comes."

……

Lu Tingting woke up, got dressed, and went to the living room to eat breakfast. As soon as her bottom touched the stool, she jumped up with a loud yelp.

The whole family stared at her.

Seeing her clutching her buttocks and wincing, Fann Wong leaned over to look at the stool. "What's wrong? Is there a needle on the stool?"

Lu Haoyu gloated, "Sis, you don't have hemorrhoids, do you?"

"You look like a hemorrhoid to me, and you just fart all the time."

After receiving a severe scolding, Lu Haoyu dared not utter another word.

His sister is getting fiercer and fiercer, and her words are sharp.

Fann Wong looked at her suspiciously: "What's wrong? If there's anything wrong, go to the hospital to get it checked out."

Lu Tingting was too embarrassed to admit that she had been beaten by An Hui, so she made up a random excuse to get by.

Her buttocks hurt, so she simply stopped sitting and ate standing up with her bowl.

"Mom, give me some money."

"What do you need the money for?" "It's Jiang Moli's birthday, I want to give her a gift."

Upon hearing this, Fann Wong didn't say anything, but took out her wallet and gave Lu Tingting 20 yuan.

Lu Tingting took the money and put it in her pocket. "If it's not enough, add some more."

Fann Wong retorted irritably, "Twenty isn't enough? Do you want to buy gold?"

If it weren't for the fact that Jiang Moli bought a coat for her daughter, she wouldn't have gotten 20 yuan; 5 yuan would have been the most.

You don't know the value of money until you're in charge of the household; you really think the money in your household comes from thin air.

"Oh, never mind what I buy, just give me another 10 yuan."

"That's all. If you don't have enough, you'll have to figure it out yourself!"

After saying that, Fann Wong slung her bag over her shoulder and went to work.

Lu Tingting turned to look at Lu Haoyu and Lu Nana, "Lend me your allowance."

Under Lu Tingting's threatening gaze, the brother and sister obediently took out their pocket money.

Unfortunately, it was just a drop in the ocean; even combined, it didn't amount to two yuan!
Before leaving, Lu Tingting sneaked into Fan Wenfang's room and took an industrial invoice from the drawer of the dressing table.

As they left the compound and headed towards the bus stop, Chen Xue hurriedly caught up with her.

"Tingting, I'm getting married in a few days, can you be my bridesmaid?"

What kind of class does she have to be a bridesmaid?
Lu Tingting was about to refuse, but she swallowed the words back.

"Do bridesmaids receive red envelopes (cash gifts)?"

Chen Xue was taken aback, then quickly replied, "Yes, yes, yes."

"how much?"

"3 yuan and 3 fen."

Lu Tingting rolled her eyes so hard they almost reached the sky. "This is my first time being a bridesmaid, and you only give me 3 yuan? Are you trying to fob me off like a beggar?"

Seeing that things were looking promising, Chen Xue quickly explained, "That's usually the price. If you're willing to be my bridesmaid, how about I give you 6.6 yuan?"

“9.9 yuan! Not only me, but Meixia and Xiaoke are also going to be bridesmaids. The three of us will be your bridesmaids, and you have to give each of us 9.9 yuan.”

Chen Xue was startled. "I didn't intend to invite so many bridesmaids."

"This is our price anyway. If you think it's too expensive, go find someone else!"

After saying that, Lu Tingting walked away with her hands in her pockets.

Watching her retreating figure, Chen Xue couldn't help but feel conflicted.

She hadn't really held out much hope that Lu Tingting would be her bridesmaid.

After all, Lu Tingting was proud by nature and had the temperament of a young lady from a wealthy family.

Of all the unmarried young women she knew, Lu Tingting came from the best family. Having Lu Tingting as her bridesmaid would not only bring her prestige, but also make the Liang family look at her with more respect.

After weighing the pros and cons, Chen Xue pursued Lu Tingting again.

"Tingting, I promise you."

Without saying a word, Lu Tingting reached out her hand and said, "Give me the money first, otherwise if you change your mind later, who will I get the money from?"

Chen Xue was dumbfounded.

At noon, Lu Tingting, with 50 yuan in her pocket, dragged Wu Meixia and Song Ke to the department store and bought a glittering 18K gold necklace.

Wu Meixia and Song Ke's eyes welled up with envy.

Wu Meixia: "Tingting, you're being way too nice to Jiang Moli, aren't you? You've never bought me or Xiao Ke a gold necklace."

Song Ke nodded, chewing on a lollipop: "That's right, they're using the money from our bridesmaids' red envelopes."

Lu Tingting, though unconvinced, retorted, "We've promised to be best friends for life. I need money, shouldn't you help me out?"

After saying that, he added, "Alright, there's still some money left, I'll treat you to a meal at a restaurant."

The two were then happy.
