When she came out of the stone gambling venue, Bai Ling was even more nervous than when she sold the jade hairpin.
The purchase of the jade hairpin was only 180,000 yuan, but this time it was more than 30 million yuan. The total income of the two families might not be enough for a fraction.
Although the money stayed safely in the card, Bai Ling could not help but fantasize if someone would take advantage of it, rob them halfway, torture them, and ask for the bank card’s password.
The little girl’s active imagination became more intense, and she used the scenes in TV dramas and novels to herself.
Hao Dafu could see Bai Ling’s nervousness. In reality, everyone present was a respectable person. No one would break the law for more than 30 million yuan. It was not like decades ago when there were no cameras and gangsters were in groups.
Huai City was also an international metropolis. If you wanted to rob and kill people, you had to see whether your neck was stiff enough.
But seeing that Bai Ling was honestly nervous, Hao Dafu lent them his bodyguard and asked the bodyguard to drive his niece and her friends home.
Zhang Zhi earned 20,000 yuan by her own ability today, which was pretty good. Her uncle Hao Dafu told her that this kind of thing was okay to relieve boredom once in a while, but she could not be addicted to it. After she did not open anything, she stopped. After all, this was the first money she made.
“Brother Jiang, just send us to the antique street.”
After sending Zhang Zhi home, the bodyguard sent Yan Chu and Bai Ling home as instructed by Hao Dafu, but Yan Chu changed the road halfway and did not let him drive in the direction of home. Instead, he chose to go to the antique street.
Bai Ling just went on a mental journey, and when she heard Yan Chu’s words, she quickly tugged at the hem of his clothes.
Why did they go to the antique street if they did not hurry home now?
Yan Chu held her hand tightly without explaining but affirmed his request to the bodyguard.
Since Yan Chu himself said that, of course, the bodyguard drove in the direction he said. The antique street was a pedestrian road, so he put them down on the street.
“What are we doing*24doing*from 干 [gàn] that can mean as to do or to f*ck (vulgar) here?”
After getting out of the car, Bai Ling nervously asked Yan Chu. She kept reminding herself to relax. If she was too cautious, she would attract the attention of thieves and robbers.
“Of course, I’m here to do something important.”
Yan Chu pulled Bai Ling and walked towards the Jinyu Pavilion on the street.
In half a year, the apprentice shopkeeper in the store had forgotten the two of them. He saw them come in and did not go ahead to sell, so he let them wander.
“Boss, wrap this bracelet.”
Now antique shops were also advancing with the times. Most of the items were priced on them, which saved time for both parties. Of course, other more expensive commodities did not have prices. These were things that were up for grabs.
The bracelet that Bai Ling liked had been placed here for many years, and no one cared about it all the time, but it just caught her eye. Every time she arrived at antique street, she had to look at it a few times. Otherwise, shopping would be boring.
These days, the current market situation of agate jewelry was not good. The original price of 300,000 had dropped by 20,000, only 280,000.
“You are crazy. It’s so expensive.”
Bai Ling immediately pulled Yan Chu to leave, but no matter how strong she was, she was also a little girl, so she could not pull Yan Chu, who was tall and grown up.
“I promised you before I would buy this bracelet and give it to you as soon as I made money. It was equivalent to a wedding gift before. I didn’t expect my girlfriend to be too powerful, and I became rich earlier than expected. But it doesn’t matter. Take this bracelet. You will marry me sooner or later.”
Yan Chu took out the card that had just remitted more than 30 million yuan. At that time, the two agreed that each would get 19 million yuan. Yan Chu used his own money to buy a gift for Bai Ling. There was nothing wrong with it.
“Do you always remember that sentence?”
There was a person who had always put all his promises to you in his heart. What kind of happiness was this? Bai Ling tasted it for the first time.
Her eyes were sore for some reason. Bai Ling rubbed her eyes, lowered her head, and held Yan Chu’s other hand tighter.
In the end, Yan Chu bought the bracelet, but Bai Ling could not bear to wear it, so she put it in a box and hid it tightly close to her body.
Unexpectedly, the bodyguard assigned by Hao Dafu was still waiting outside when they went out. He saw them come out and open the door, then sent them home as instructed by Hao Dafu.
Yan Chu and Bai Ling thanked the dedicated bodyguard repeatedly and walked home with a massive sum of money in their bank card and an antique bracelet.
“Where have you gone? Your mother and I are dying of anxiety.”
The adults in the family were busy with the braised food shop these days and inevitably neglected the children. They thought today was a rare day for children to rest all day, and the two families could have a good meal together.
To surprise the children, they did not say it in advance. When they went out to buy a lot of ingredients and came back, there was no one at home. They had missed the meal, and yet no one came back.
At this time, the parents of both parties realized the importance of providing their children with mobile phones. Nevertheless, the college entrance examination would be held in half a year, and mobile phones must be purchased when they attend university.
With mobile phones, it was convenient to communicate with each other. There was no need to be so anxious about finding people like today.
Fortunately, it was not too late when they came back. The food on the table could be eaten as soon as it warmed up. It was rare to be able to sit down and eat together, and they could not bear to talk about the children, so they hurriedly dragged them back to the kitchen to sit down and eat together.
“Mom, Dad, Uncle Yan, and Aunt Jin, Yan Chu and I went to stone gambling with our classmate today.”
Bai Ling carefully placed the box containing the bracelet on the table. In the eyes of adults, it was a relatively exquisite carved wooden box. It was probably bought at a small stall or a boutique. It did not cost much money, just something girls liked.
“Gambling? How can you gamble at a young age?”
Stone gambling was something that no adult had ever heard of. As soon as they listened to this sensitive word, they immediately looked solemn and prepared to ask what they had done today.
Looking at their expressions, Yan Chu knew that they had misunderstood. He explained to the four adults what stone gambling was, described what happened today in detail, and then took out the bank card.
“How, how, how much?”
After doing business for half a year, Jiang Yahong was increasingly resolute. But at this time, the two children bought a stone casually, and the cut jade sold for more than 30 million yuan. At this time, he could not speak a word smoothly.
“Chu’er, tell mom, are there four zeroes behind the 3,800?”
Jin Xiujuan could not help shaking, wondering if she was hallucinating, and heard 3,800 yuan as 38 million yuan.
“It’s 38 million, but I bought an antique bracelet for Lingling, and now there are only 37.72 million left in the card.” Yan Chu said calmly.
A man who had experienced difficult times was not afraid of eight-digit bank card balances.
“How much! Two hundred and eighty thousand!”
Yan Chu’s parents did not respond. Jiang Yahong jumped up like a cat with its tail stepped on.
She opened the wooden box Bai Ling had placed on the table with trembling hands. She saw the rusty antique bracelet inlaid with a few agate gemstones, which was so dusty that she could not see much of it. She felt sorry for the 280,000 yuan her daughter spent on this ugly bracelet. But at the same time, she was faintly happy, thinking she had found an exemplary son-in-law. The first thing he did when he had money was to buy something for Lingling. That was what a good man should do.
“How much do you have to buy a gold bracelet with this money? They are golden-bright and dazzling, and they can maintain their value.”
Thinking that the two children had just earned more than 30 million yuan for the family, she could not even open her mouth to blame, so she could only sigh a few words.
“The two of us just thought since we are still students, it’s useless to carry so much money. Dad, Mom, Uncle Bai, Aunt Jiang, you can buy whatever you like. Mom, don’t you always envy the thin gold chain that Aunt Wang and her son next door bought for her? Well, let’s buy a thick one, as well as rings and bracelets, and buy whatever you like. Aunt Jiang, don’t you always feel it’s inconvenient not to have a scooter? We also buy it. Anyway, we have money now.”
Yan Chu was well aware of the principle of dealing with the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Regardless of how good the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was before, it was easy to cause conflicts if the son failed in some aspects.
For example, he bought a bracelet worth 280,000 yuan for Bai Ling, but his mother did not have anything. Even if his mother liked Bai Ling so much, conflicts would still accumulate bit by bit over time, no matter how kind and tolerant she was.
His situation was much easier than that of many others. He could not ruin the original good cards.
Sure enough, after hearing her son’s words, the hint of sourness in Jin Xiujuan’s heart disappeared, and she felt that her son was really the most filial son in the world.
At the same time, she felt that Bai Ling and Yan Chu could not be more suitable for each other. Otherwise, why could they always buy a treasure every time they buy something together? From the jade hairpin at the beginning to the jade stone now, it showed that the two children were prosperous, and there was no better fate than this.
“Still thinking about storing money by yourself? You’re really a big spender. No matter how much money you have, your mother will help you save it. It will be your bride price when the time comes.”
When Jin Xiujuan said this, she looked at Bai Ling, and her meaning was already unmistakable.
“That’s right. It’s not safe for you, children, to hide so much money. Lingling, your mother will also save it for you, and it will be your dowry when the time comes.”
Jiang Yahong looked at Yan Chu and spoke.
The atmosphere suddenly became more lively. It was more than 30 million yuan. They thought it would be great to make a net income of more than 4 million yuan in the past six months, but their son and daughter were too prosperous. They, who worked themself to death, were not as good as others who bought, bought, bought casually.
However, the emergence of this money also solved the urgent needs of the four adults, which was enough to invest in the factory.
Because the taste was surprisingly delicious, the two-joint braised restaurant became a famous household-name restaurant in Huai City after opening for half a year. As the gourmet, they were ashamed to call themselves foodies if they had never eaten their braised food.
Likewise, the braised food shop also gained a lot of reputation in China through word-of-mouth conversations and Internet communication.
Some customers declared that it was sad that they could not eat their braised food in the shop after being away from home for a long time. They hoped the shop could produce braised food in sealed packages with a relatively extended shelf life.
In this way, the taste was certainly not as good as the fresh ones, but it was far better than the braised food sold on the market. In addition, people from all parts of the world had heard of their braised food shop’s name, but people far away could not come to eat them. The elders of both sides agreed that this was a good business opportunity.
The investment to open a food factory was not small. It was also troublesome to obtain all kinds of certificates. In addition, the previous shop was too small and needed to be expanded. Their money stretched out suddenly. At this time, a windfall of more than 30 million yuan from the sky had solved all problems.
Why did they feel doomed? What were they lacking? The two children were really prosperous.
“They opened a braised food shop, and the business is pretty good.”
Zhang Zifan silently read the news that the private detective he had hired found out. He did not remember what the original protagonist’s parents were doing before. It seemed that they were engaged in the catering business.
He frowned and then looked down. Yan Chu’s behavior in the past six months was very consistent with the living habits of a typical senior high school student. Apart from being more restrained than other high school students, there seemed to be no problems.
The ordinary study, home, school, bookstore, and library were always inseparable from Bai Ling, and nothing strange happened around him.
Zhang Zifan carefully studied each item, wondering whether he was overthinking.
Until he saw one, Yan Chu and Bai Ling picked up a jade hairpin half a year ago and sold it for 180,000 yuan. He immediately remembered it. Wasn’t that the first valuable antiques he did not pick up when he just transmigrated?
At first, he was depressed for a long time until he discovered a bronze mirror from the Shang and Zhou Dynasties a few days later, which made him feel better.
Was he really the original protagonist? He overcame him everywhere.
Zhang Zifan affirmed that the other party should have no golden finger. Otherwise, he would not be so ordinary. However, he was a little sore when he thought he had suffered from the original protagonist twice in a row. He was a little angry and felt that he should do something.
