Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife novel Chapter 111

Chapter 111: Chapter 111: If Nobody Offends Me, I Offend Nobody

Cheng Su filled a basin with water, submerged the large watermelon in it, and hummed a tune as she brought out her small money chest to put away the money she had earned today.

The small money chest was a mahogany box, also part of her dowry, secured with a small lock. It was already brimming with neatly bundled banknotes of various colors, nearly full.

"Looks like, I’ll need to go to the credit union and open an account to save this money," she muttered to herself while feeling the banknotes.

In those days, people treated money like a precious lifeline. Even if they had money, they wouldn’t deposit it in a bank, but would keep it at home by their side to feel secure. Plus, the banking system wasn’t mature yet and hadn’t earned people’s trust.

But Cheng Su thought differently. Keeping money by one’s side may invite envy and theft if the household is not stable. Since banknotes are made of paper and don’t withstand the elements well, they could be ruined by dampness during a flood.

She had also seen in the news how some people’s money was forgotten and got eaten by insects. How regrettable was that?

Whereas storing it in a bank was safe, could earn interest, and was more stable than keeping it at home. Moreover, she believed the banking system would mature as society developed.

Having made up her mind, Cheng Su closed the wooden box. After thinking for a moment, she counted out twenty yuan to keep in her pocket.

Moving the fan out to the hall, Cheng Su looked around the small, pigeon-cage-like room, feeling more and more suffocated.

The accommodation was limited; the rooms were small and fully utilized to maximize space. The house was quite full of stuff, with her room being just a tad larger. Qi Taiguo’s room was exactly like a capsule room from past lives, fitting only a bivouac bed and a small table with no space left for anything else—extremely cramped.

Cheng Su silently contemplated that she needed to earn more money to then buy a big courtyard and a spacious house to live in comfortably, which justified being reborn once more.
