Although Wang Muxiao had saved a lot of money recently, her hands were still trembling when she held the money. At this point, all her money was hidden in the house. But she always felt insecure and was afraid that someone would steal her money.
Thinking of Li Chenmo’s house, her eyes lit up and she asked, "Brother-in-law, can you do me a favor?"
Li Chenmo was surprised by her sudden request and said curiously, "Second sister-in-law, if there is anything I can help you with, just tell me."
Wang Muxiao hesitated for a moment and finally said, "You know I’ve made a lot of money recently, right? At this moment, my savings have exceeded 100,000 yuan. I’m wondering if I can hide my money in your house. You have many rooms. If a thief breaks into your home, it will be difficult for the thief to find the money."
Hearing her words, Li Chenmo and Lu Jueyu looked at each other with the expression that they didn’t know if they should cry or laugh. Wang Muxiao’s way of thinking is indeed different from ordinary people.
Seeing their stunned expressions, Wang Muxiao continued to persuade them, "You have seen my little house. If a thief comes here, it is easy to find the money I have hidden. It is not safe at all. If my money is stolen, what do I do?"
At first, Lu Jueyu wanted to reassure her and tell her that she was thinking too much. After all, who dares to steal her money? Unless they have nine lives like a cat, if they dare to rob her second sister-in-law’s things, they might need to travel to the underworld ahead of schedule.
But seeing Wang Muxiao’s anxious look, Lu Jueyu changed her mind. It’s normal for women, especially pregnant women, to overthink and be anxious. It’s not like this amount of money is only a few hundred yuan. Therefore, it is normal for her to be worried.
After a long while, Lu Jueyu finally said, "If my second sister-in-law believes me, then I will keep this money for you. You can write down how much money you give me on a paper, and I will sign it. In this way, you can feel at ease."
Wang Muxiao heard her suggestion and did not refuse. After all, even brothers can kill each other for a few hundred yuan, let alone 100,000 yuan. Although she trusted Lu Jueyu and her husband, it was better to make things clear to avoid misunderstandings in the future.
"Of course I believe you, Jueyu!" Wang Muxiao readily agreed.
After reaching an agreement, Wang Muxiao went to get paper and pen.
Since she only knew a few words, Lu Jueyu wrote two agreements and read it for her, "On April 25, 1974, Wang Muxiao entrusted her money to Lu Jueyu. The amount was 100,000 yuan. If Wang Muxiao requested to take back the money, Lu Jueyu must return it immediately. The agreement would be signed by Wang Muxiao and Lu Jueyu as proof.
If Lu Jueyu does not return the money, Wang Muxiao can report it to the authorities as stealing."
After reading the agreement, Lu Jueyu pressed her thumb print on her name and handed the agreement to Wang Muxiao. After putting their thumb prints, Wang Muxiao kept one copy and handed over the money.
