Beautiful beauties in the 80s courtyard

Chapter 150 Additional update
Meng Xia said, "I just wanted to talk to you about living expenses. The eldest son's family hasn't moved yet, so we're still considered as not having separated our households. Before, when we didn't have jobs, things were fine, but now that we all have jobs, it's time to have a new plan."

Lu Qiaoge said proactively, "I understand. It's only right to pay for living expenses. I'll keep five yuan each month and give the rest to you, Mom."

Su Hui immediately added, "Mom, Zhiguo and I will hand over our salaries."

If it were the old Su Hui, she would definitely feel very uncomfortable handing over all her wages, but after entering the food factory and seeing Qiao Ge's abilities, she finally gave up that little thought.

Following Qiao Ge will definitely not be a mistake.

Qiao Ling is an example of this.

Whatever my second sister says goes.

It works even better than what my parents say.

Meng Xia and Lu Da exchanged a glance, and Lu Da said with a smile, "Do what you think is best."

He usually eats in the cafeteria, but today he was paid and knew his family was in a hurry to pay off debts, so he took leave to come back and deliver his salary.

As long as the children have no objections, the family will be at peace.

He went to check his youngest son's homework while fanning himself with a palm-leaf fan.

Meng Xia said, "You give me half of your living expenses each month, and you can buy the rest yourselves. The family will take care of your food and drink. Is that okay?"

Besides her pregnant daughter-in-law, she only has two grown-up girls, and she can't possibly provide them with everything they need.

So half the salary is enough.

Lu Qiaoge closed the courtyard gate, then opened her handbag and took out 1,500 yuan.

Meng Xia was startled when she saw the pile of money, but she thought that her second daughter must have taken public funds.

"How did you manage to bring your company's money back? What if you had lost it?"

Lu Qiaoge shook her head: "It's not the company's money."

Lu Da walked over and frowned: "Did Xiao Qin give it to you?" Then he rubbed his hands: "This...this is not a good idea. What's going on? You two are dating, but not engaged. What are you going to do with so much of his money? Even if you don't earn a salary now, I, Old Lu, can support my own daughter."

They even got angry while talking.

Meng Xia hurriedly said, "Did Xiao Qin ask you to keep it safe? You should keep it safe and don't take it out."

Lu Qiaoge said slowly and deliberately, "What are you thinking? This is my money, the bonus the foreign trade department gave me for achieving 150,000 yuan in foreign exchange orders. It's 1,500 yuan in total."

The courtyard fell silent.

Upon hearing that this was Lu Qiaoge's money, and that it was some kind of foreign trade order, they were all immediately shocked.

Meng Xiateng stood up abruptly and ran to the door to check if the gate was closed properly.

Then he came back, sat opposite Lu Qiaoge, and asked in an incredulous, trembling voice, "Is it really yours?"

"Of course, the director approved it personally."

Meng Xia felt like she couldn't see enough.

The little over one hundred yuan in wages she had didn't seem like much.

Lu Qiaoge counted out five hundred yuan from the money, pushed the rest over, and said with a smile, "Mom, one thousand is for you and Dad. Whether you want to save it or pay off debts, I don't care. You can decide for yourselves."

Su Hui's eyes widened in surprise. She never expected that her second sister-in-law was more capable than she had thought.

That's amazing! To receive such a large bonus.

Lu Qiaoge was very generous; she gave ten yuan to each of them, including Lu Da and Old Lady Lu.

Mengxia took the ten yuan given to her by her second daughter and suddenly burst into tears.

The days of struggling to make ends meet seemed endless, but unexpectedly, things improved just like that. Suddenly remembering something, Meng Xia immediately asked Lu Qiaoge if anyone had given her company any trouble with the order.

Lu Qiaoge explained briefly, then thought for a moment and said, "You are all my family, so I certainly won't hide it from you, but it's best not to tell others if they don't know."

Before Meng Xia could speak, Su Hui was the first to declare, "Don't worry, Qiao Ge, I absolutely won't reveal a single word."

Lu Da had already sat down. After hearing the details, he was relieved. Since the Foreign Trade Bureau, the Foreign Trade Section, and the District Government had all approved it, there was no problem.

His second daughter is getting more and more impressive. She was really looking forward to having a few drinks, but unfortunately it was hot and Mengxia wouldn't let her.

Lu Qiaoge wiped away Meng Xia's tears and said softly, "This is nothing, Mom. You won't lack money in the future."

Su Hui was surprised to find that there was one for her. She happily went to the kitchen and started cutting noodles, cutting them as wide as chive leaves, which was the width her second sister-in-law liked. After cooking, she took them out and rinsed them. Lu Qiaoling happily carried out a large basin.

The dining table was placed in a shady spot against the wall.

Meng Xia hid the money in the house. Now she could pay off her debts.

But she still held Lu Qiaoge's hand and complained in a low voice, "You're too honest. You can't take out so much money in front of everyone. To be honest, you can know a person's face but not their heart. Even brothers and sisters are bound by fate."

"If you expose all your money, what if your sister-in-law or Qiao Ling asks you for money later? Are you going to give it to them or not? If you do, you'll be at a disadvantage if they don't pay you back. If you don't, you'll offend them. Human nature is the most vulnerable to temptation."

Lu Qiaoge thought Meng Xia made sense, but it was really unnecessary to hide money from family members just because you have a little bit of money.

Her family treated her very well, especially her parents.

Besides, if she only has 1,500 yuan in her entire life, that would be incredibly shameful.

After coaxing the crying and laughing Meng Xia to go pay off her debts, Lu Qiaoge didn't rest either, but instead rode her bicycle to the lakeside.

Hua Hua was lying in Lu Qiaoge's bicycle basket, happily chatting with Lu Qiaoge.

The old turtle says it wants to talk to its young master.

The big carp said it was all its fault because it hadn't told the truth, which had discouraged its young master from going to the lake.

Lu Qiaoge was speechless: "You can't blame the old tortoise for this. I've been too busy these days."

Things have been calm here lately, and the fishing company hasn't come here either.

Qin Hengzhi said that most of the leaders at the meeting opposed handing over Hongxing Lake to the local authorities, believing that it would lead to a situation where neither side takes responsibility or there are two different authorities involved.

Therefore, it's best to temporarily assign it to 516.

The cat said, "Little master, go talk to the old turtle. He feels guilty and thinks so too. He even said he can help you find some herbs to cure the illness."

Lu Qiaoge and Huahua quickly arrived at the lakeside.

There were many retired people fishing in the waters near the dam.

Lu Qiaoge walked inside, but before she got close, she heard a commotion.

The little fairy is here! Old turtle, come out quickly!

[Keep quiet, there are a lot of people fishing lately, be careful not to give yourself away.]

[You think they're all little fairies? They're so stupid, they won't understand.]

"Stop arguing, I need to say a few words to the fairy."

This is the voice of the old turtle.

It had been waiting in the water near the shore for a while, and as soon as it knew Lu Qiaoge was coming, it swam towards her...

Since early yesterday morning, I've been constantly checking the backend and seeing all the double monthly tickets from you all, and one Qidian user even cast twenty! I'm so happy! Because of you all, I have the motivation to continue. I don't know how to thank you enough. I'm adding an extra chapter, hoping the rankings will stay stable. I'm still asking for more monthly tickets; these days, double tickets are really great. Thank you to "Youthful Beauty" and "caroletu" for your generous donations. Love you all~
