10. Spending money is like running water

When I got home, as soon as I entered the door, I saw Dong Shirou, the cousin and second wife of the scumbag father.

"It's so unlucky, I saw stinky shit when I entered the door." Chu Yue lowered her head and secretly rolled her eyes.

"Yo, our eldest lady is finally willing to return home," Dong Shirou said in a weird manner.

But in his heart, he hated the way: What a dead scumbag, how good it was to die outside back then. But now that I'm home, I appear in front of myself all the time, as if to remind myself of my cousin's betrayal of me. After so many years of being the master of the house, I almost forgot that I am not a wife but a concubine, and my children will not become concubines.

Lowering her eyelids and covering the emotions in her eyes, Chu Yue bypassed Dong Shirou and walked upstairs quietly.

As soon as she arrived at the staircase, Chu Yue saw Chu Lianqing again. "Today's luck is also amazing"

"Liuyue, there is a lady who doesn't go home at night. Don't forget who you are, disgrace your father's face, disgrace me. Otherwise, I wouldn't admit that you are my daughter," Chu Lianqing scolded dissatisfiedly.

Chu Yue rolled her eyes again, not wanting to bother with the idiot woman in front of her. Bow your head and empty your thoughts, and silently endure the magic sound in your left ear and out of your right ear.

Wu Junshan, the scumbag father, finally arrived after Chu Lianqing's chattering reprimand.

"Alright, it's time to eat. Liuyue, pay attention next time"

"Dad, the son-in-law of Vice Chief Jiang's family recently studied abroad in the event of the public"

After speaking, Wu Yuexi looked at Wu Junshan with a wistful expression, hoping that he would take the initiative to mention the matter of letting him study abroad.

"There should be no problem with Jiang Gongzi's study abroad, even if there is no school he wants to go to on the official basis, he can go abroad at his own expense," Wu Junshan ignored his daughter's eager eyes and said lightly.

"Dad, I also want to go abroad, recently my classmates are talking about going abroad, and my son also wants to serve the country after completing his studies," Wu Yaozu said confidently.

"Yaozu, my father is the deputy director of the Education Bureau, and he can lead by example. You are still young, you can try the exam first. It depends on the situation, you can also study abroad at your own expense at that time, and then you will talk about it at that time," Wu Junshan said kindly.

Wu Yaozu happily responded: "Well, thank you, father, my son will definitely not lose the face of the Wu family, and he will glorify his ancestors."

Dong Shirou said softly with a smile on her face: "Master, eat vegetables, today's fish is very good"

Not to be outdone, Chu Lianqing picked up the dish and put it in Wu Junshan's bowl, "Master, the white-cut chicken is not bad, try it."

"Master, try this soup, the temperature is just right" The second aunt Tian also handed over the soup bowl in a timely manner.

Looking at the scene in front of her where several women were fighting for a husband and the children were happy, Chu Yue ate and watched the play silently, trying to be an invisible person.

Chu Yue: Although this kind of drama is staged almost every day, it seems that I should get used to it, but I still want to vomit. The situation inside the Wu family is almost touched, it's time to add some 'fun' to their lives, and it's time to puncture the illusion of harmony between wives and concubines.

"Dad, mother, I took the exam recently, and my daughter went upstairs to study first" Chu Yue put down the dishes and chopsticks and said lightly.

"Well, study hard, and let your mother give you more food tomorrow, and make up for it well," Wu Junshan said gently.

Back on the third floor, Chu Yue sat in front of the window, looking out of the window in a daze: Zhai Dou is really a waste of his life, and it is enough to experience it once in a lifetime. Tomorrow, I will meet with Uncle Liu to learn about the recent business situation and the renovation progress of the house.

Early the next morning, before going to school, I went to the public phone booth to make a call to Sanssouci Manor, and made an appointment with Uncle Liu to meet and talk at the Sequoia Cafe after school.

"Uncle Liu, report on the recent business situation of the Silk Country and the Moon Country"

"Miss, the business of the Moon Country is arranged according to the plan before returning home, and everything is going well so far. The business of the silk country has also spread, but the expenses are a little over budget. Because the conditions we offered were very good, the news of the employees we recruited spread, and too many people came to apply, and there are still people from all over the world......"

"Uncle Liu, drink a glass of water first, take a break, I'll think about what to do first" Chu Yue's index finger tapped on the table and pondered how to solve the problem,

"In this way, let the finance department of Shencheng estimate the monthly expenditure and growth rate according to the current situation, and make a statement for me. Then the diamonds brought back to China will be sold in batches in the south and north, or find a big buyer to sell at one time, and the price can be lower, so as to avoid impacting the market and return the funds as soon as possible. ”

After a pause, Chu Yue said again, "In addition, send someone to tentatively contact the various warlords in the north, you can release the news of the discovery of the ore vein, see the specific situation and see the sincerity of their cooperation, give me the collected information together, and then see who to cooperate with."

"Miss, the diamond business can allow Zhou Li to try to contact the Red Gang and test the Red Gang's reaction. If it is not suitable, find another business. Liang Shan and Fan Tong can take people to the north."

"Let Liang Shan, Fan and them bring enough weapons, ammunition/medicine to avoid losing manpower. In addition, send Jesse to contact the ambassadors of the two countries of the month and the United States, and put some small business on the ground to try their appetite."

"Yes, Miss. In addition, the renovation of Sanssouci Villa is almost complete, and it will be almost ready to move in at the beginning of next month. There happened to be a bungalow for sale near the villa recently, do you want to buy it"

"Buy it, and make a tunnel between the manor and the bungalow, just in case. Let Tiandong and Bai Zhi think of a suitable reason to come to me"

"Okay, the little one will stay on the second floor of the Sequoia Cafe in the afternoon if he has nothing to do, and Miss will send someone to the store directly to inform him if there is anything."

Chu Yue rubbed her forehead and said, "First prepare the manpower and radio station for the exploration of the mine, and after a week, let people come and pick up the drawn map on the way to school, and let them follow the notes on the map to find it." The old rule, after copying, destroy the original picture"

"Miss, pay attention to rest, you have lost a lot of weight compared to when you returned home. Madam, the old man and the young master will be worried when they see it."

"The food in Anshi is too light, and if you don't have the appetite, you will naturally eat less."

"The old slave will set up a small restaurant near your school, and let Chef Liu go to the kitchen, so that the young lady will not be bothered when she goes often"

"Okay, that's it for today, I'll go first"

As soon as she returned to the Wu Mansion, Chu Yue fell directly on the bed, rolled over, looked at the ceiling, and fell asleep after a while.

At this time of year in Anshi, it was rare to encounter a sunny day, and Chu Yue's mood also brightened.

At the dinner table, everyone was eating breakfast silently.

Wu Junshan commanded loudly: "On the weekend of next week, Vice Minister Jiang celebrated his son's admission to study on public assignment, invited relatives and friends, and colleagues from the Department of Education and the Department of Justice brought their families to participate. This Saturday afternoon, let the tailor come to the door to make clothes for Yaozu, Yuexi, and Liuyue, and you don't arrange other things. Give you 200 yuan, go to the department store on the weekend to buy some matching jewelry, match clothes, you can't lose the face of the Wu family. The children are older, so they need to go out and see the world."

"Thanks, Daddy"

"Thanks, Daddy"

"Got it, father"

Three responses sounded at the same time, and when the meal was over, they dispersed.

Sima Ruoqian said curiously: "Yueyue, why are you in such a good mood today?"

Chu Yue touched her face and replied, "Is there one?" It may be that I haven't had much trouble lately, but today the iron rooster took the initiative to pluck its feathers again, so I'm happier than usual."

"You narrow-minded ghost, beware of being heard by others," Shen Yun said with a smile.

"What are you afraid of, have I said anything bad, or scolded?" Chu Yue asked with an innocent expression in the blink.

"Ahem, how can your father be willing to bleed," Sima Ruo said shallowly.

"The face is bigger than the sky! So many colleagues, if it's too shabby, it doesn't look good. Not only do I make new clothes, but I also have to go to the mall to buy jewelry and make noodles."

Shen Yun also asked curiously: "For what?"

"Next weekend, Vice Chief Jiang's family will hold a dance party to celebrate Jiang Gongzi's admission to the public school to study abroad. Iron Rooster can make connections, and also to sell our two sisters for a good price. It's really a big bloodletting, and it's estimated that it's still in the ocean of flesh pain and about to pass away."

"My family and Yunyun's family have also been invited to the banquet, and you will also go this time, so this banquet must be very interesting," Sima Ruoqian said happily.

"Ruo Qian's words are right, I always feel that Yueyue participates in the banquet, and the banquet will develop in an unexpected direction," Shen Yun agreed.

Chu Yue rolled her eyes and said, "Do you think Miss Ben is Conan physique?" ”

"What is Conan's physique," Shen Yun asked.

"Where to go? Death is happening everywhere. This girl doesn't have that much ability."

Sima Ruoqian covered his mouth and exclaimed, "So terrible? ”

Shen Yun nodded solemnly and said, "Although Yueyue didn't go anywhere, there was a terrifying time of death. But Yueyue does go wherever someone will be unlucky. I wonder who is unlucky this time."

Chu Yue hugged Shen Yun and spared him to squeak, "Hmph, Miss Ben is angry and needs to be comforted, she needs someone to accompany her to Hutchison Restaurant to eat a spicy meal, otherwise Miss Ben will never forgive." ”

"Ahaha...... Ahaha.... I beg for mercy, spare me, don't dare next time"

Letting go of Shen Yun and putting away the joke, Chu Yue looked at the two friends in front of him and asked, "What are your plans after graduation in the future?"

"This question is too far away, maybe I am going to get married, or go to study abroad with my husband or fiancΓ©," Shen Yun also said with a little confusion.

"I haven't thought about this question, anyway, my aunt and father will arrange it. There are 3 older brothers who inherit the family business, and I don't have any ideals in life. The family will prepare a large dowry to provide security for later life. Sima Ruo said lightly.

"Life is always full of accidents, learning more is always good for the unpredictable future. Or continue your studies and apply what you have learned. Or learn to do business and accumulate more network channels. In this way, we can better protect our families. ”

Shen Yun always felt that something flashed by, but he didn't catch it: "Yueyue, why are you always so worried?" ”

Chu Yue said a little sadly: "The world is impermanent, I have experienced a lot, and I just have no sense of security."

Hearing Chu Yue's words, Sima Ruoqian's sensitive sixth sense nerve was touched.

"Yueyue, I always feel like you know something? In the reminder of us"

Chu Yue: Ruoqian, this little girl has such a sensitive intuition. I hope she can always maintain this simple and optimistic heart.

"Okay, is there still a lot of room for me to mention you? Have you figured out all your homework for today? ”

"Don't mention schoolwork, we're still good friends," Sima Ruoqian immediately shouted.

As soon as Shen Yun heard the classwork, he also wailed: "Why do you always fish in class, and you don't feel like you listen carefully, but you take the first place every time, how can we live?"

"Girls, can Miss Ben tell you that Miss Ben has already studied these lessons twice, and this is the third time? It's all tears, and the big guy can only understand the grievances of the novice village monster farming? ”

Chu Yue, who couldn't speak, had no choice but to say: "Probably this girl is talented, so you should work harder."

"I feel that your existence is just to show our mediocrity" Sima Ruoqian lay on the table and said weakly.

"I've done my best, but the gap is still so big," Shen Yun also said resentfully.

Seeing the listless two, Chu Yue was also a little embarrassed, and the reason for this must not be said, so she had to say: "Girls, as long as you cheer up." I decided to sacrifice my life to accompany the gentleman today, to eat, hang out and play as long as you are happy."

The two wilting little women instantly stood up and clapped their hands and revived with blood.

Chu Yue: What's going on? It's not like you're being tricked!

"Hmm, girls, did you discuss something behind Miss Ben's back?"

The two little women grabbed Chu Yue's arm one by one, and said in unison: "No, you wronged us."

"Oh, is it? So how to play today? Chu Yue said clearly.

Sima Ruoqian leaned into Chu Yue's ear and whispered: "I heard that the Lost Night Dance Hall is very fun, I have always wanted to go, but my brothers don't take us to play, I want to go"

Chu Yue: ..... The curiosity of young people is so impulsive and strong

Shen Yun also leaned over and said, "I'm also curious, but Ruoqian and I don't dare to go." With Liuyue, you are a big killer, we are not afraid, the unlucky one must be someone else."

"Feelings, you treat me as a town house beast." Chu Yue said funny.

The two of them laughed dryly twice, not daring to look at Chu Yue.

"Tell me when you plan to go"

Sima Ruoqian was afraid that Chu Yue would regret it and immediately said, "Just tonight, today's promise, today." In case you regret it after the postponement, we will lose a lot of money."

Shen Yun also echoed: "Yes, just tonight", and at the same time complained: "Ruoqian, how can you tell the truth"

"You are one and a half catties, one is eight taels, no one should dislike anyone" Chu Yue said with a smile, "It's too dazzling to wear this dress to the dance hall, do you all bring clothes?"

"What then?" Shen Yundao

"I always feel that I will regret missing today," Sima Ruo said.

"If you are not fully prepared, you will withdraw and go another day," Chu Yue suggested.

"Do you have to repay the debt," Sima Ruoqian immediately said aggrievedly.

"Then what do you say, I listen to you, I am a town house beast today" Chu Yue said indifferently.

Shen Yun thought for a moment and said, "If it is shallow, take out the wallet and see how many there are first?" I've got about 10 oceans and some copper circles here."

Sima Ruoqian replied: "I have more than 20 yuan here."

Chu Yue checked her wallet and said, "Both of them are local tyrant chicks!" I only have more than two pieces here. If you're not going to go to the store and buy a new outfit, go straight to the Midnight Ballroom! ”

Shen Yun snickered: "This is what you said!" It's exactly what Miss Ben wants, very good, very good." After speaking, he took Chu Yue's hand and walked towards the destination.

Curious children always have to let them try, suffer losses, and learn to be good when they are taught a lesson.
