Shielding her actions from her son’s gaze, Lu Jueyu discreetly pulled 84,500 yuan from her space and placed it inside the can. Then, she returned to the Kang bed, opened the can, and poured the money onto the bed.
Seeing the pile of money, Dong Li’s eyes widened in shock. He knew his parents were well-off, but he had never expected them to be this wealthy. Compared to their savings, his own felt like a drop in the ocean.
Unfazed by her son’s reaction, Lu Jueyu calmly counted the money. When she was done, she handed him a thick stack and said, "Here, Mother rounded the total to 84,500 yuan."
Holding the money, Dong Li glanced at the few hundred yuan still inside the can and hesitated, "Mother, how about you pay me less? Our family’s money—"
Before he could finish, Li Chenmo interjected, "You don’t have to worry about our family’s money. Just take care of your own."
’My wife doesn’t need another man giving her money,’ he added pettily in his heart.
While Lu Jueyu understood her husband’s petty jealousy, Dong Li simply thought his parents were generous and were giving him money for his future. Discover exclusive tales on freewebnovel
He nodded and said gratefully, "Thank you, Mother. Thank you, Father."
"Ah Li, if you find more pearls, just let me know. Your father gave me plenty of money in the past, and it’s just been sitting there collecting dust. It’s nice to exchange it for rare ingredients like your pearls," Lu Jueyu said while tidying up the remaining cash.
Dong Li nodded and replied, "Alright."
"Ah Li, if you plan to go deep into the mountains, you must inform us. Father will go with you," Li Chenmo added.
"I understand, Father," Dong Li replied.
"It’s getting late. You should go back to your room and rest," Lu Jueyu reminded him.
Standing up, Dong Li walked to the door. Before leaving, he said, "Good night, Mother. Good night, Father."
"Good night."
After he left, Li Chenmo locked the door and said, "Wife, let’s go into your space."
Feeling tired, Lu Jueyu agreed without hesitation. Holding her husband’s hand, she brought him into her space, along with the pearls and the small can of money.
As soon as they arrived, Li Chenmo filled the bathtub with warm water while Lu Jueyu stored the pearls in the warehouse. As for the can of money, she placed it on the bedside table.
After taking a hot bath, the two of them went to bed. Compared to the outside, Lu Jueyu could sleep more soundly inside her space, free from dizziness and nausea waking her in the middle of the night.
Early the next morning, before dawn, Li Lingyun was riding his bicycle toward the train station. It had been five days since he sent the telegram to his friend in Yunnan City and was informed that his friend would be coming over in a few days.
Doing business was similar to fighting a battle. They needed to seize fleeting opportunities and couldn’t afford to waste time. Therefore, his friend decided to visit in person to talk about their business plan and investment. freёwebnoѵel.com
