Chapter 570

Qin Wenhao didn’t ask how much money it was.

He felt that no matter the amount, his wife deserved every penny.

After all, his wife was such a dedicated worker.

But even though he didn’t ask, Fu Mingxue told him directly.

"Director Liu gave me a bonus of 15,000."

Qin Wenhao, who hadn’t been particularly interested, was utterly shocked.

"Fifteen thousand?"

He had thought it would be something like two or three thousand.

He never imagined it would actually be 15,000.

The bonus was indeed shockingly high.

Fu Mingxue nodded. "That’s right, 15,000. I was ecstatic at the time. I truly never expected the First Auto Factory to give me that much. If Director Liu hadn’t said that they had already reported it to the research institute and gotten their approval for me to keep the entire sum, I would’ve felt it was too hot to handle!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Wenhao immediately said, "Honey, that just proves you deserve it. You’re worth it. Besides, if you didn’t have the skills, why would the First Auto Factory give you such a huge bonus?"

"You should keep that money for yourself. By the way, my monthly stipend and some mission bonuses just came in, totaling two hundred yuan. Here, take it."

Qin Wenhao took the money out of his pocket and handed it to Fu Mingxue.

He was supposed to give her this money yesterday.

But he didn’t have time.

He was busy last night, too, so there was even less time.

Fu Mingxue didn’t refuse. ’After all, they were husband and wife. Why shouldn’t she take his money?’

She took thirty yuan from the stack.

"You should keep some!"

"Don’t worry, I already set aside fifty for myself." Qin Wenhao sounded a bit sheepish as he said this.

He stole a glance at his wife’s face. Seeing she wasn’t angry, he quickly explained, "The New Year is coming up, and I wanted to keep a little for gatherings with friends in Beijing City."

Fu Mingxue raised an eyebrow. "Fine. Since you already have money, I won’t give you this."

’An average worker’s salary is only about forty yuan.’

’Some make as little as twenty-five.’

’Fifty yuan for him to spend on New Year’s gatherings... That’s a considerable sum.’

’Besides, doesn’t it cost money to raise two children at home?’

’Her salary and bonus were substantial, but she wasn’t going to use all of it to help him raise his children.’

’In this life, she was definitely going to take her man’s money.’

’She would never pretend to be generous and refuse it, letting him keep it all to spend on himself.’

"I’m planning to save up some money and buy that courtyard house next door."

This was also the reason she had revealed her bonus.

Leaving the courtyard house next door empty wasn’t a long-term solution. She had to make her ownership of the house official.

So she could formally acquire it.

It would also be a legitimate way to "spend" the huge bonus she had on hand.

The First Auto Factory had held a meeting about giving her such a large bonus.

It was impossible for word not to get out.

That’s why she didn’t want to just hold onto the money. Spending it was the right move.

Qin Wenhao was a bit shocked to hear she wanted to buy the courtyard house next door.

"The courtyard house next door is for sale?"

Even Qin Wenhao didn’t know who owned the house next door.

Of course, he had never deliberately investigated them.

After all, who would investigate someone for no reason?

It’s not like they were criminals. On what grounds could he just investigate them?

"Yes, a friend of mine told me. The price is a little low—only 25,000. I think they’re in a hurry to sell. That leaves a gap of ten thousand, but I have some other money on hand. The gifts from our wedding, plus what you’ve given me... it’s a decent amount."

"It’s enough when I add it all together."

When Qin Wenhao heard she had enough money, he said without hesitation, "In that case, buy it. Just put it in your name."

Fu Mingxue: ...?

’The house was a reward from the system to begin with, so of course it would be in her name alone.’

Still, she found his words very gratifying.
