Lin Chuxia urged, “Hurry up, isn’t this the gift you gave me? Don’t you want to put it on me yourself?”
Hearing this, Qin Yang immediately slipped the bracelet onto her wrist without a second word.
Lin Chuxia looked satisfied at the bracelet on her wrist, her eyes sparkling as she gazed at the man, “Qin Yang, do you know this is the first time I’ve ever received a gift and it’s from you.”
“Really?” Qin Yang asked, surprised.
Lin Chuxia nodded, “Really, thank you, I like it a lot.”
Seeing the silly boy pleased again, a sly glint flashed in Lin Chuxia’s eyes.
She actually enjoyed watching the silly boy spend money happily. Since the money was spent, she had to give him the emotional value he deserved, making him feel that his spending was worthwhile. That way, he would continue to spend money on her in the future.
Lin Chuxia wasn’t worried about spending this bit of money, but she knew how to utilize money.
When next Lin Chuxia saw something novel that Qin Yang wanted to buy, she stopped him.
“I was just curious to look, I didn’t want it. If there’s something I want, I’ll tell you.”
Thinking back to when he bought the silver bracelet, Qin Yang said seriously, “Then you must tell me.”
Just like when he bought the bracelet, the moment his wife pouted, he would pay. That feeling… it felt like he was needed.
Lin Chuxia naturally said, “Of course, you are my husband, isn’t it natural for a husband to spend money on his wife? Just don’t complain if I spend too much.”
“Of course not.”
His wife had bought him so many things, his repayment was far from enough; how could he complain about her spending too much?
Lin Chuxia was almost done shopping, she took two small bags from his hand to carry, and casually said while they walked to the bus station,
“Qin Yang, have you ever heard that a woman who knows how to spend money leads a good life, and that women are the motivation for men to earn money?”
Qin Yang shook his head, he hadn’t heard that.
His colleagues always bragged about how thrifty and capable their wives were, not wasteful with money.
He also felt his wife was good, beautiful, and knew how to do business and earn money, also capable and thrifty.
Qin Yang felt that being thrifty had nothing to do with how one spends money; his wife could spend money well but still was a thrifty and capable good wife.
His gaze landed on her wrist, remembering how her eyes curved when she put on the bracelet, Qin Yang suddenly understood the meaning of those words.
He now felt that his income was not enough; he wanted to work hard to earn more money for his wife to spend, to make her happy and to prevent her from leaving him because he couldn’t earn enough.
He also decided to buy himself a few new clothes so his wife wouldn’t get bored of seeing him in the same ones.
Lin Chuxia watched the big silly man getting serious and making resolutions, and continued, “Do you know that money is earned, not saved? Look at all the things we bought, adding up to more than fifty yuan. Ordinary people earn thirty yuan a month; even if they don’t eat or drink, they can’t buy these things, but you’re different. As a talented engineer, you not only have a salary but also bonuses. Even after buying so many things, it doesn’t affect our life, plus the money I make from my business. I think our well-off days are not far off. Of course, Mr. Qin, you still need to work hard!”
Lin Chuxia earnestly patted his shoulder.
Qin Yang suddenly realized; his salary was fixed, but if he performed well, there were bonuses and also promotion opportunities.
Like their chief engineer, his salary was over a hundred, and the department head had a salary of over two hundred yuan.
His eyes brightened, “Don’t worry, wife, I will work hard.”
He used to think that doing his job well and contributing to the country was enough, but now he realized that he must fulfill not only the country’s contributions, but also his wife’s wishes. This is truly serving both the country and the family, and there is no conflict between the two.
Lin Chuxia said “huh” in surprise, gazing at him leisurely, “What did you just call me?”
Qin Yang paused, realizing what he had just said, and his ears turned red.
It was all those guys’ fault, always casually referring to their wives so much so that he inadvertently called Lin Chuxia his wife.
Using that term among his buddies was one thing, but calling her that to her face felt… somewhat embarrassing.
Seeing him not speak, Lin Chuxia teased him, “Say it again, let’s hear it?”
Qin Yang: “…”
He looked away to avoid her gaze.
This was in the middle of the street, it was unintentional to call her that once, but how could his wife…?
Lin Chuxia pulled at his clothes, “Qin Yang, Qin Yang? Can you repeat what you just said?”
Qin Yang started to walk away, and Lin Chuxia, trying to hold back her laughter, chased after him, “Don’t go, did you just call me your wife? Why aren’t you calling me that anymore? Am I not your wife?”
With each mention of “wife,” Qin Yang seemed as if he had been burned, frantically looking around. The people were quite far from them, so he felt slightly relieved.
He gave Lin Chuxia a warning look, “Shut up!”
Lin Chuxia burst into laughter, “Qin Yang, are you feeling shy? Qin Yang, do you know how cute you look when you’re shy?”
Qin Yang decisively covered her mouth with his hand, “Stop talking…” his face was about to catch fire.
Indeed, he had not misjudged her; this girl was indeed bold.
At noon, both of them ate at a State-Owned Restaurant, enjoying local specialty dishes.
After the market opened up, it was great to satisfy people’s desires for food, not limited to fixed meals and quantities like before.
No matter how many lives Lin Chuxia lived, she remained a worldly person, loving to earn money, spend money, look beautiful, enjoy delicious food…
She glanced at the man in front of her, oh, and also fell for handsome young men.
When the two were heading home, walking in the sunset, just as they were about to reach the unit, a figure suddenly dashed out from the side, heading straight for Qin Yang.
Before Qin Yang, who was carrying bags, could react, Lin Chuxia, who was half a step behind him, kicked out directly.
With a pained cry, the figure flew out.
Liu Xiaohua lay on the ground, taking a while to slowly lift her head, spitting out the sand in her mouth, looking pitifully at Qin Yang, “Qin… brother…” it hurt her so badly.
Lin Chuxia recognized it was Liu Xiaohua the moment she kicked.
Seeing her charging like that, directly aiming for Qin Yang’s arms.
Was this her trying to force herself on Qin Yang?
Stepping forward to stand in front of Qin Yang, Lin Chuxia coldly watched the person on the ground, “I’m saying, Liu Xiaohua, hasn’t your brother’s unit resolved your issue yet? If it’s not resolved, go find who you need to find. Charging at a man in broad daylight, do you really think the hooliganism only targets men? Don’t you know that if a woman acts like a hooligan in the street, you could be charged with hooliganism and indecency, both legally and morally condemned?”
Liu Xiaohua, who had rarely left her village and never attended school, had never heard of what Lin Chuxia talked about.
Hearing that she could be charged, she looked flusteredly towards a nearby tree…
