Madam, She Has a Tender Heart

Chapter 29 Household Money

"How did you come?"

"Why did you buy so much?" Lu Bocheng said as he took the things over.

"For this big family, I bought enough to feed you. And this is only a small amount. I haven't bought the home gift for tomorrow yet."

Su Qingyu relaxed her hands, breathed a sigh of relief, and shook her hands. Then she lowered her head to look at the hem of her skirt. She picked it up and shook it. A lot of mud splashed on it, her shoes were soaked in water, and her footwear was wet. She felt a little uncomfortable.

Turning around and looking at the vegetable market street, I saw that it was still lively and busy with people coming and going.

"What are you looking at?"

"Nothing, just some ideas."

"what idea?"

"I haven't thought about it yet. I still have to think about it."

Seeing that she didn't say anything more, Lu Bocheng didn't ask any more questions. Seeing her patting her clothes, he asked again: "Eat first or go back first?"

Su Qingyu's footwear and clothes in her shoes were all wet and she felt uncomfortable walking, so she said, "Go back and change your clothes, shoes and socks before you come out. I also want to buy a homecoming gift for tomorrow. I guess your stepmother won't know how to do it." It’s prepared for us.”

"You still count on her!" Lu Bocheng sneered.

Seeing his disdainful look, Su Qingyu looked at his hands again. In this moment, she bought a lot of things, including ingredients and seasonings for dinner. It cost her more than a tael of silver.

Asked: "Where is the helper Aunt Zhou? Does your stepmother give her money to buy it or does your stepmother go and buy it herself?"

"Aunt Zhou bought it herself. It was Wu who bought it at first. She was so stingy that she was afraid that Aunt Zhou would lie about the price of the vegetables. But she didn't buy it for a few days before she stopped. She said that the vegetable market was dirty and messy, and the smell was not good. It smells so good that she feels sorry for her clothes and shoes.”

Tsk tsk, Wu, a poor girl in the mountains who couldn't even buy a piece of clothing, was not in a good situation after getting married, but as soon as she met Lu's father, she became a young mistress.

"Then if she still lets me cook in the future, do you think I should ask her for household money? These things in your hand cost me more than one tael."

Su Qingyu felt a little distressed.

She packed the box with only two taels of silver. Lu Bocheng had only saved more than a dozen taels over the years, and she spent several more. The rest she wanted to take with him when he left.

Then she will be clean. If the Wu family still doesn't give her family income, then she won't do it.

Lu Bocheng was stunned for a moment before he realized that the heavy thing in his hand was all spent by the young couple.

He was so angry that he waved his hands twice: "I'll go find her when I get back. No, if I don't find her, I'll go directly to Lu Shengcai! It's the first day we recognized each other, but he didn't say anything and wanted to spend my money!" Huh, I have to shave him off when I go back!"

Su Qingyu found it a little funny when she saw his angry and childish look.

Wu didn't realize it at all. Lu Bocheng didn't even get half a penny from the shop, and he didn't even give him a monthly salary. He had saved more than a dozen taels by himself for more than ten years, and now he still wanted to spend his money.

Don't be too impatient.

The two returned to Lu's house, and Su Qingyu went to change clothes.

Fortunately, she used the money given by Lu Bocheng to pull several pieces of cloth and make several sets of clothes that day, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to replace them. She got married and came to the town, and she was still wearing the same patched clothes that she used to wear. She was too embarrassed to go out.

As soon as Su Qingyu changed clothes and packed up, Lu Bocheng came back.

He shook the silver in his hand at her with a proud look on his face.

"Lu Shengcai only wanted to give me two taels, so I picked him ten taels. He was so angry. He also said that doing business is not easy. Bah, a grocery store can't make much money, but Wu and her few You kid doesn’t spend enough? He makes clothes and buys jewelry every month, and it’s like I’m cutting out his flesh for just a little bit!”

Su Qingyu saw him leaning on the chair and throwing the purse in his hand, looking unconcerned. Suddenly I felt a little distressed.

A child who doesn't have a mother to love him won't know how to cry. The more he goes against his temper to show his presence, the more annoying he will be. It's not easy to live to such an old age.

"Why are you looking at me?" Lu Bocheng turned around and asked.

"You look good."

Lu Bocheng blushed when he heard this: "You, you..."

Throwing the purse in his hand on the table: "Hurry up, take your time, I've even returned from a trip to South Street, and you're not ready yet."

Su Qingyu rolled her eyes, this man didn't deserve her heartache. Put away your purse and go out.

The two of them left Lu's house and found a small shop that Lu Bocheng said was small but delicious. They went in and ordered two dishes, and then they started eating.

"It's delicious."

"Yeah, what I said is right. Although this store is inconspicuous, it has been open in the town for more than ten years. It has good taste and large quantities, and the price is not expensive. Most people can't find this place." Lu Bocheng I boasted a few words.

He didn't even swallow the food in his mouth, and said: "If you don't want to eat at home in the future, come here. The boss is nice, his work is meticulous, and he is also clean and hygienic."

When Su Qingyu nodded and looked at the small shop, the shopkeeper heard Lu Bocheng's words, came over and said with a smile: "You still know how to eat, is this your newlywed wife?"

Lu Bocheng hurriedly introduced Su Qingyu to the store. Both parties greeted each other.

The shopkeeper smiled and said to Su Qingyao: "From now on, when Mr. Lu is not here, you can just come here alone. Whatever you want to eat, I will cook it for you."

Su Qingyu smiled and nodded.

After the two of them finished eating and were walking on the road, Lu Bocheng told the story of this store.

My son died on the battlefield and has not come back for seven or eight years. The couple didn't believe their son was dead, so they never moved away. The daughter-in-law ran away, so the couple took their grandchildren and kept the shop open, saying they would wait for their son to come back.

Su Qingnao looked back at this small shop with some emotion. This dynasty would recruit troops from time to time. After expelling foreign enemies, civil war would start. After the civil war, the border would become unstable again, so troops would be recruited from time to time.

It is the common people who suffer. What is dead is dead, and the days of living must still be lived.

The two of them went shopping and bought a home gift for tomorrow. Being introduced along the way by Lu Bocheng, Su Qingnao knew a lot about Fengting Town.

At dinner, Su Qingyu's craftsmanship was praised by the family. As soon as Wu started talking and was about to squeeze Su Qingyu into letting her continue cooking, Lu Bocheng pushed her down.

"Er Niang, you know that you asked my wife to cook. Do you want to give me today's expenses? You can't ask my wife to use the dowry to support a family in the future, right?"

"What kind of dowry can she have?" fifteen-year-old Lu Yuzhu asked. There was no hint of respect for the eldest sister-in-law in her words.

"She doesn't have a dowry, so she wasn't hired by your mother? Now you're here to pick a fight! I heard that your mother has gone to the county to find a sister-in-law for your brother. I'm afraid she can bring a lot of dowry to our family, which may not be good in the future. Your mother can help you pick out the next one."

Lu Bocheng scolded Lu Yuzhu.

"You!" Lu Yuzhu glared at him angrily.

Father Lu slapped the table hard: "You can't eat well!"

He glanced at Lu Bocheng and said, "Didn't I give you today's flowers?"
