Chapter 34: Chapter 34: Two Big Bills

“Alright, enough with that look! You should be secretly thrilled to make twenty yuan in a day! Just think about what kind of work could earn you twenty yuan a day!”

Xu Shuhua’s words were like a wake-up call, instantly making Chen Qiaoqin see things clearly.

That’s right!

What kind of job could earn you twenty yuan a day? With twenty yuan in hand, shouldn’t you be over the moon? What else are you thinking about?

“Mom, you’re right. I was overthinking it just now!”

Xu Shuhua pulled out a thick wad of cash from her pocket—there were ten-yuan notes, five-yuan notes, two-yuan notes, one-yuan notes, and even a bunch of small change.

The sight of that thick stack of money made Chen Qiaoqin’s eyes go wide all over again.

Hearing about it was one thing, but seeing it with her own eyes was something else entirely.

Chen Qiaoqin had never seen so much money in her life!

Yu Nuannuan glanced at it, then calmly looked away.

She was used to seeing red banknotes, so these colors didn’t have much impact on her.

Gu Mo was just as unfazed as Yu Nuannuan. He only glanced at the money before turning his attention back to eating strawberries.

This was already his third strawberry of the morning.

Gu Mo was only a year and a half old, so he couldn’t eat much. The strawberries were especially big, and he’d already eaten three that morning. Yu Nuannuan figured he probably wouldn’t even need lunch.

But Gu Mo wasn’t really a little kid, so he probably knew his own limits. She didn’t worry about it.

Xu Shuhua counted out twenty yuan and handed it to Chen Qiaoqin. “Here, keep this. Don’t spend it recklessly—save it for Nuanbao.”

Looking at those two big bills, Chen Qiaoqin hesitated, not daring to take them. “Mom, maybe you should keep it instead?”

After all, even if Xu Shuhua held onto the money, Yu Nuannuan wouldn’t miss out.

But Xu Shuhua was unusually firm. “I said take it, so take it. Nuanbao isn’t the only child in our family. I have other uses for the rest of this money. You all eat and drink at home, so you don’t really need to spend much. Just put it away for now. When Nuanbao gets older, there’ll be plenty of things to spend money on!”

Chen Qiaoqin always knew Xu Shuhua favored Yu Nuannuan, but seeing it to this extent still moved her—her eyes even turned a little red. “I understand, Mom. Don’t worry, I’ll save all this money for Nuanbao.”

What was there for Xu Shuhua to worry about? Yu Nuannuan was Chen Qiaoqin’s own daughter, and the reincarnation of a fairy at that. If Chen Qiaoqin didn’t treat Yu Nuannuan well, she’d have to be out of her mind!

Just as they finished putting the money away, the rest of the Yu family came back from the fields.

Of course, there was no meat for lunch. Even though Xu Shuhua had made quite a bit of money on this trip, she didn’t buy any meat.

Having meat once in a while was fine, but if the smell of meat wafted from their house every day, wouldn’t the neighbors start to wonder?

Xu Shuhua understood the principle of not flaunting wealth all too well.

After lunch, back in the room, Chen Qiaoqin took out the two big bills to show Yu Hai, repeating what Xu Shuhua had said.

Yu Hai was delighted, grinning from ear to ear. “If Mom told you to keep it, then keep it! This is what our Nuanbao deserves! Nuanbao, Daddy’s little fairy, Daddy’s little sweetheart!”

As he spoke, Yu Hai picked up Yu Nuannuan and started playing “lift you high” with her.

Yu Nuannuan actually liked this game. As soon as Yu Hai picked her up, she let out a crisp, happy laugh.

After a few lifts, Yu Hai noticed the stone hanging around Yu Nuannuan’s neck. “Hey? What’s this around Nuanbao’s neck?”
