Gu Xiaobei saw Qu Yan coming over and said joyfully, "So you're off to buy some furniture in town."
Qu Yan responded with a smile, "Yeah, so I wanted to see if you two were going too. I figured it might be tough for you in your condition, so I asked your husband first."
Gu Xiaobei replied after considering Qu Yan's expression for a moment, "Actually, this is something you need to ask me. It's my decision how we spend our money. I doubt my husband even has two yuan for cigarettes."
Qu Yan chuckled awkwardly, while Ding Guihua frowned, somewhat annoyed, saying, "That's not right. How could a woman control the finances? People will laugh at us if they hear this."
Gu Xiaobei didn't rush to argue. Instead, she rubbed her belly thoughtfully, then spoke, "Auntie, look at me. I look awful right now, don't I? I'm just scared that when a man has money, he's tempted to stray. I'll be the one at a loss."
