"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."

All eyes were on the jar and basket in Lu Jueyu's hand. As a simple-minded person, Wang Muxiao just blurted out everyone's questions.
"Jueyu, what did you bring back?" She asked curiously.
"Brother Chenmo said it was not good to use our food to cook for him and Uncle Li, so he gave me some money, coupons, meat, and eggs. He also asked me to tell him if it was not enough." Lu Jueyu said while showing the items.
Lu Jueyu opened the jar, revealing the meat and bones inside. When she removed the cloth covering the basket, everyone saw that the basket was full of eggs, brown sugar, ginger, salt and oil.
Looking at the brown sugar and ginger, she added, "Brother Chenmo told me to make some brown sugar ginger soup to dispel the cold."
Hearing her words, Father and Mother Lu smiled and nodded. The son-in-law is not bad. Even though he was hurt, he still cared deeply about their daughter. Although he may be lame in the future, he has a good personality, is willing to work hard, and cares about their daughter. After marrying him, she will not suffer, which is enough for them as her parents.
"Okay, put your things away first and have dinner." Father Lu reminded her.
Lu Jueyu went to the kitchen and put away the ingredients. Meanwhile, she tasted the water in the tank and sighed. She later needed to replace the water used by her family. Unlike the Li family, the Lu family's house is close to the mountain. She can make some water pipes out of bamboo and fetch water from mountain springs to fill their water tanks.
After dinner, she went to find her brothers. Although their families are not separated yet, they live in different houses. She lives in the main house with her parents. In addition to the four bedrooms, there is a huge living room used for dining and receiving guests.
Her eldest brother's family lives in the house on the left of the main house, and her second brother's family lives in the house on the right of the main house. Both houses are newly built with three bedrooms and a living room. As for the kitchen and bathroom, they are respectively built at the back of the main house. These buildings were shared between families.
There is a well and a pear tree in front of the house. The backyard is used to grow some vegetables. A chicken coop was built near the corner of the backyard. There are ten people in their family and they can only raise five chickens at most. It can be said that their family raises the most chickens in the village.
When Lu Jueyu walked towards her eldest brother's house, she knocked on the door. Not long after, her eldest nephew opened the door.
Seeing the cute little boy, her eyes softened a little, and she asked, "Why hasn't Xiaoyi slept yet?"
"Xiaoyi isn't sleepy yet. Auntie, come in, it's cold outside." Lu Wenyi said in a childish voice while stepping aside.
Lu Jueyu was amused by his adult behavior and rubbed his head, which made his body tensed up. The three children of the Lu family were all afraid of the original host. Since she didn't like children, the original host would frown and stare at them when she saw them. Kids know who likes them and who doesn't. Therefore, as they clearly know that their aunt doesn't like them, as long as their aunt is around, they will behave well.
Lu Jueyu's eldest brother has two sons. The eldest is four years old, named Lu Wenyi, and the second son is only two years old, named Lu Wenmu.
As for the second brother, he has been married for three years and has only one daughter. In a few days, his daughter will celebrate her first birthday. Her name is Lu Wenfeng. The youngest generation of the Lu family is born with fair skin, good looks and smart minds.
Although their living conditions are not as good as in the modern era, adults love them very much, so they still have enough food and warm clothes. Compared with other children in the village, they can be called pampered children.
Because the sister-in-law has a kind personality, as long as she has extra food, she will secretly give it to the "wicked people" who live in the pigsty and cowshed near their home. Sometimes, when they were sick, she would bring them some medicine.
Although not much, for them, it is a great help. They were sent by the government to the village to do heavy and dirty work to reform themselves. Most of these people were landlords, nobles or rich people before the reformation. In addition, intellectuals were also sent to the countryside to reform in these past years.
Coupled with poor living conditions and lack of food and medicine, many people fell ill. Although the cause of their death is mostly disease, the suicide rate is not low due to depression.
In order to repay Chen Anwen's kindness to them, these people will help her secretly teach her sons. Fortunately, their house is far away from other villagers. Therefore, no one reported them to the authorities. Otherwise, their family will be finished. Whoever helps the wicked will be punished in the same way, because they will be labeled as the same kind.
After Lu Jueyu entered the room, Lu Wenyi led her to the bedroom. She saw her eldest brother struggling to read words from an old book.
She walked to the bed and asked, "Brother, what are you doing?"
Lu Han showed her the book and said, "I'm reading it. It's good to know some words, it will be easier when we visit the town."
Lu Jueyu glanced at the cover and found that it was a book for the first grade of elementary school. In this era, there are only primary and middle schools, and the teaching materials are simple. Recalling the history learned in her previous life, her eyes lit up.
