Chapter 1843: His Wife Runs the Household

After glancing at Fu Yan Cheng, Liu Chuxue finally spoke: "Eldest brother, eldest sister-in-law, Jin Yue and the others are at an age where they spend money freely. Although I am still in school, as you know, I have income from translation work at the First Machinery Department. Compared to you, we are slightly better off. Moreover, the triplets are still young, so our expenses aren't that large. This time, we will take a larger share so that everyone's burden is lighter."

Guo Wenjing glanced at her husband, then looked at Liu Chuxue with gratitude in her voice: "Fourth sister-in-law, I won't hide it from you. We have indeed saved some money over the years, but a few days ago we took Jin Yun to the hospital. We have arranged with the doctor to have her tonsils removed as soon as winter break begins. We consulted on the cost, and it comes to over six hundred yuan."

Speaking of this, she whispered to Liu Chuxue: "On top of that, my father was hospitalized a few days ago and also needs a minor surgery. As his daughter, I must contribute my share, so that is why I feel uncertain."

Hearing this, Liu Chuxue understood immediately: "How about we take the rest..."

As soon as she said this, Guo Wenjing knew her meaning and quickly interrupted: "No, no, that is not what I meant. How about this: my family and my brother-in-law will each take one thousand."

After exchanging a glance with Fu Yan Cheng, Liu Chuxue said: "Very well, let us proceed as you, sister-in-law, have suggested."

Liu Chuxue coughed lightly: "Second brother, second sister-in-law, with the New Year just around the corner and the house now in our hands, you will need to clean up, buy things, and support your daily life and children. You are short by thirteen hundred yuan. I will add another two hundred for you, lending you fifteen hundred yuan in total, so that your days ahead will not be too tight."

As soon as she said this, everyone in the room was moved. Fu Yan Cheng did not expect his wife to be so considerate. How could his wife be so good? If not for so many people present, he would have rushed forward to embrace his wife and give her a proper kiss.

Fu Yanwei took a deep breath: "Fourth sister-in-law, thank you."

Hao Yanhong's eyes immediately turned red: "Fourth sister-in-law, thank you for thinking of us. My second brother and I will remember this kindness."

"Mom, Dad, and everyone, previously we were at fault and lacked ambition. I will not make empty promises; just watch our actions in the future."

After speaking, she unexpectedly bowed to everyone, which startled everyone into quickly reaching out to help her up.

Because many people were eyeing the house, fearing someone else would buy it if they delayed even a step, they made their plans and immediately set to work.

Fu Yanming had to ride his bike home to get his passbook and withdraw the cash in person; it was agreed that Fu Yanwei would go to him in the afternoon to collect it.

Fu Yan Cheng's money was kept by Liu Chuxue, so naturally, this matter was handled by her.

Liu Chuxue smiled, stood up, and took the bag she carried on her shoulder: "Yesterday, when I delivered documents to the First Machinery Department, they settled the translation fees for more than half a year with me. I haven't had time to deposit it yet, so this saves a trip."

Saying this, she pulled a bulging brown paper envelope from her bag, took out thirty yuan from inside, and handed the envelope over: "Please count it."

The amount of money in this brown paper envelope was, of course, intentionally arranged by Liu Chuxue.

She had taken the money from the space using her bag as cover, but Liu Chuxue had not lied; this money was indeed the translation fee settled by the First Machinery Department for her, except it was for a single translation job, not half a year.

Fu Yanwei immediately found paper and a pen, wrote an IOU, and said: "Fourth brother, fourth sister-in-law, I, your second brother, will not stand on ceremony with you. Please keep this IOU."

Fu Yan Cheng glanced at Liu Chuxue; the meaning was clear as day: his wife was the head of the household.
