Their standards of living plummeted after they moved house. Because of the recent incident, Gu Yundong did not give Zhou Ping any money. Anyway, she had food and clothing at home, and she did not need to spend any money.
Little Seven and Little Eight were in their junior year and had many lessons. They usually ate in the school canteen.
Gu Jinlin just had to take care of himself. He occasionally bought some supplements to build up his younger brothers’ health, but besides that, he did not give her a single cent.
Gu Jinxuan was all right. He had some money. It was now much easier to eat outside. As long as he had money, he would not starve to death.
But he could not carry on like that.
He did not need to spend much when he was living with Second Uncle’s family. He was free to spend all his money on food and fun. But now?
He could only use it to fill his stomach. The contrast was too great.
Zhou Ping had no money. If she did not cook, she would go hungry. She was also worried about her family. Her days passed in misery.
Gu Yundong and Gu Jinlin would occasionally buy some ingredients, but it was only enough for them to eat. Zhou Ping felt stifled.
Gu Jinxuan drooped. He went to the Gu house to look for Gu Qingyao.
He slumped on the table lifelessly. “Younger Cousin, I’ve been suffering so much lately!”
Gu Qingyao smiled and said calmly, “Surely not? Your current life is certainly more comfortable than when you were living by yourself a few years ago?”
Gu Jinxuan: “…”
What was the situation like a few years ago?
Could it compare to the present?
Gu Jinxuan said bitterly, “That’s different!”
Gu Qingyao said, “Your life now cannot compare to Second Uncle’s family, but it is certainly more comfortable than what you had previously.”
Gu Jinxuan kept quiet and looked at her pitifully.
At that moment, Oldest Cousin-in-Law, Li Qingdan supported Ji Mingyue as they entered from the backyard. She smiled when she saw Gu Qingyao. “Yao Yao, are you awake?”
Now that Gu Qingyao was pregnant, she slept a lot, and she had just woken up from her afternoon nap.
Gu Jinxuan hurriedly greeted his cousin-in-law.
Li Qingdan smiled and acknowledged him.
Ji Mingyue smiled. “Yao Yao, Cousin-in-law has recently made a lot of money in business! I feel tempted too. If not for the little one in my tummy, I would want to make money as well.”
Gu Qingyao smiled. “There’s no hurry. There are plenty of opportunities to make money! Now that you have the time, you should study more. It’s not too late to earn money after the child is born.”
Li Qingdan said, “That’s right. I was so busy with the children in the past. Now that they’re a little older, I have some free time.”
The two of them sat down, and Gu Jinxuan asked curiously, “Cousin-in-law, what kind of business are you in?”
Recently, he was very interested in money.
Li Qingdan said, “Nothing much, just the clothing line. I find some housewives that have nothing to do and who sew well and ask them to make clothes. When they’ve made the clothes, I sell them and pay the ladies.”
Gu Jinxuan was taken aback. “Do you make a lot of money?”
Li Qingdan smiled and her eyes looked deeply amused. She had clearly made quite a large sum.
“Not a huge fortune, but much more than when I had a job in the past. Our family has many children, and although the salary is enough to raise them, we don’t dare to incur much expense. We have to scrimp and save every month to make ends meet. I want the children to have a better life.”
“Then… how much do you earn every month?”
ραпdα-nᴏνɐ|-сom “About ten thousand yuan!”
“What! Ten thousand?”
Gu Jinxuan was shocked!
In these times, people who had 10,000 yuan were already considered to be very rich.. Many people who held a job had a salary of only a few dozen yuan. But Cousin-in-law was making 10,000 yuan a month?
