Lu Jueyu smiled and said, "I'm bringing some dinner for brother Chenmo and Uncle Li. Uncle Li is busy repairing the house and has no time to cook."
The villagers looked at each other after hearing her words. After a while, one of them said, "Then hurry up, or the food will be cold."
"Then I take my leave first. Goodbye, aunts." Lu Jueyu nodded to them, turned and left.
After Lu Jueyu had walked far away, a villager said, "It seems that she has no intention to cancel the engagement."
"What nonsense are you talking about? No matter what happens to Old Li's third son, after that incident, she can only marry him." Another villager said.
"That's true. It's just a pity that such a beautiful girl is married to a cripple."
"Even if he's limping and can't work in the fields, he doesn't have to worry about food. Even if he earns five work points a day, the money he makes when he was in the army is enough to feed him and his family for several years."
Hearing her words, the other villagers fell silent. If it weren't for the injury, it is estimated that many families would want him to be their son-in-law. After all, his salary is high, and he is also the most handsome man in their production team.
When Lu Jueyu arrived at Li's house, she saw a girl wandering outside the door. Thinking of seeing this girl in her dream, she frowned. As an educated youth, her behavior was really shameless, and she kept bothering Li Chenmo.
"What are you doing here?" She asked when she stood a meter away from Su Anna.
Su Anna was startled by her, and almost dropped the chicken soup in her hand. When she turned her head and saw Lu Jueyu, her face suddenly became gloomy. She looked at her coldly and asked, "What does this have to do with you?"
Lu Jueyu raised her eyebrows and asked, "You are wandering in front of my fiancé's house like a thief. Is it wrong for me to ask what you are doing?"
Su Anna was very jealous when she heard Lu Jueyu call the man she liked as her fiancé. She glared at her and said, "Don't be complacent, if the villagers didn't force Brother Chenmo, he would never even glance at you!"
Before Lu Jueyu could say anything, Father Li opened the wooden gate. When he saw Su Anna, his face darkened and he frowned.
"Uncle Li, I.."
Before Su Anna finished speaking, Father Li had already looked at Lu Jueyu, and his expression changed immediately. His dark face instantly became sunny and full of smiles.
He took the big jar and basket from Lu Jueyu and said, "Xiao Yu, why are you standing outside? This is your home, when you come in the future just come in."
Hearing the deep meaning in Father Li's words, Lu Jueyu just smiled and said, "Uncle, I bring some dinner for you and brother Chenmo."
"You've worked hard, come in. Chenmo has been waiting for you." Father Li urged Lu Jueyu to enter the house while talking.
Bam!
He closed the door loudly without looking back, leaving Su Anna standing outside in embarrassment. She followed behind Father Li and when he closed the gate, it almost hit her nose. She gritted her teeth and looked at the closed door with bloodshot eyes.
"Damn old man, if you weren't brother Chenmo's father, I would have dealt with you long ago." She cursed in a low voice.
When she looked at the cold chicken soup in her hand, she couldn't help scolding Father Li again in her heart. She spent so much money asking the villager to cook this chicken soup, but he didn't even let her into the house. Hearing laughter coming from the house, she could only suppress her jealousy and anger. She walked away with a dark face.
The aunts all looked at her meaningfully when they saw her coming from Li's house carrying a jar. Almost everyone in the village knew that there was an educated youth who liked Old Li's third son, but he never paid any attention to her. While they despised her shamelessness, they couldn't help but envy the Li family. After all, these educated youths are all from the county seat or city.
If Li Chenmo marries her, as long as he is willing to marry into her family, he can become a city citizen. But based on their understanding of the man from the Li family, they are convinced that this is harder than reaching the sky. The so-called city citizenship is meaningless to Li Chenmo.
When the villagers were talking about Su Anna, Lu Jueyu had already forgotten about her. At this moment, she was sitting beside the bed in Li Chenmo's room, with a puzzled look on her face.
"Why didn't you open it?" Li Chenmo asked, observing her expression.
Lu Jueyu looked at the two big cans in front of her, and looked at him with questioning eyes. Under his gaze, she opened the can and saw it was filled with money, tied in a bundle with twine. When she saw the amount of the money, she was stunned.
She opened another can and saw the coupons store neatly inside. These coupons are not locally issued coupons with an expiration date, but national coupons that can be used nationwide without any expiration date. In addition to food coupons, meat coupons, grains coupons, fabric coupons, and other coupons, there are also some industrial coupons.
She looked up at him. After a while, she said probingly, "This..."
"This is all my money including my savings, reward, and pension. I'll leave it to you to manage it." He said casually.
"It's not appropriate, you'd better keep it by yourself." She closed the cans and pushed it to him,
Li Chenmo frowned and asked, "Why is it inappropriate?"
"We're not married yet, how can I keep your money?" She waves her hand.

"Jueyu, in two months, you will become my wife. Not to mention keeping my money, you can use it as you please." Li Chenmo said firmly.
While Lu Jueyu lowered her head and contemplated, Li Chenmo clenched his fists to suppress his nervousness. While his tone sounded confident and determined, he wasn't sure if she would agree. After all, they are not married yet, so it is really inappropriate. But he couldn't help it. He felt that if he didn't tie her up with something, she would leave his side.
After considering the pros and cons, Lu Jueyu finally said, "Okay, then I will keep it for you for the time being. If you need it, you can ask me anytime."
Li Chenmo secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "From now on, you will be in charge of our family's money."
Lu Jueyu listened to Li Chenmo's words, smiled and nodded. Although unexpected, she was delighted when he handed her all the money. It shows how much he trusts her.
With her agreeing to his request, Li Chenmo was in a good mood and his appetite grew. What's more, the steamed buns are full of meat and eggs, even the soup is made with bones and ginseng. So it is very appetizing for people of this era.
Father Li and Xiao Zhang ate in the living room and kept praising her for her cooking skills. What they don't know is that although Lu Jueyu is a chef, the reason why her food could be this delicious is because she uses the water in her space. Not only does it have health benefits, it also improves the taste of food.
While they were eating, Lu Jueyu went to the backyard to check the water tank. She scooped up the water, took a sip, and spit it out immediately. Sure enough, the well water in this village is brackish water. While brackish water can be used for power generation as cooling water or for mining, oil and gas, it is not safe to drink.
The salt content in the well water must be slightly higher than the fresh water, so the villagers only feel a little salty and can still drink it. But long-term consumption of brackish water can lead to many health problems.
After confirming her guess, she poured out the water in the tank without hesitation. Then, she entered her own space with a bucket, and came out with a bucket full of freshwater. She filled the water tank with water from the space.
She thought it would take five minutes for her to enter and exit the space, but in reality, it only took less than a second. If people saw her at this moment, they would see her body blinking rapidly. In less than five minutes, she filled the big water tank.
When she was done, she went back to the living room and saw that Father Li and Xiao Zhang were still eating. Suddenly, she realized something. She felt that the crops in her space were growing faster. Maybe, that's not the case. Could it be that the time inside and outside her space is different? She needs to test it out to see how big the time difference really is.
When she entered Li Chenmo's room, she sat on the edge of the bed and said, "You are not allowed to drink water from the well anymore. It is not good for your health. I have filled the water tank with freshwater. Use it for drinking or cooking."
Li Chenmo looked at her and asked, "Where did you get the water from?"
Hearing his question, she froze. She didn't know how to explain it. After all, there is no river near Li's house. As for the mountain spring, she needs to walk fifteen minutes to reach it. So, it was impossible for her to fill the tank in ten minutes.
She knew it was far-fetched, but she still said with a straight face, "From the mountain. Otherwise, where else can I get it?"
"When did you do it? You just had a fever, don't do heavy work." He said with a hint of distress in his voice.
Realizing that he believed in her story, Lu Jueyu breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "You don't have to worry, I know my limit. Just focus on your recovery. If you don't come to pick me up on our wedding day, I won't marry you."
When Li Chenmo heard her mentioning their wedding, he was overjoyed, and instantly forgot about the water matter.
"Mhmmh, I will recover well. You just need to wait for me to pick you up," he said with a smile, taking her hand.
Holding her soft hand, the corners of his lips curled up. As he ate her tofu, he still remembered to complain, "Your hands are so cold. Don't touch cold water, it's not good for your health. I'll fill up the water tank next time."
Lu Jueyu looked at him and said, "Next week, I will accompany you to the town to check your injuries."
"Mhmm."
"We can also buy some candy, fabric, and New Year's items," she added.
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
The two chatted for a while, and after Father Li finished dinner, Lu Jueyu returned to her home. When she went back, she filled the basket with some eggs and meat from her space. Now that she decided to cook for Li Chenmo, she had to bring the ingredients back, otherwise her family would have an opinion about him. As for the money and coupons, she already put them in the space.
Although she didn't know the exact amount, she could vaguely guess that there should be more than 5,000 yuan. She will count later.
When she got home, the family was having dinner. Mother Li saw that her shoulders were covered with snow, and said, "Yuyu, you just recovered, so don't go out when it's snowing."
Lu Jueyu smiled and said, "I just came back from Brother Chenmo's place. He asked me to bring this back."
