Chapter 126 Chapter 126 The money has arrived.

As they were talking, Liu Suqin had already accompanied Julie to the hotel entrance. Soon a taxi stopped in front of the two of them. The driver looked like a simple and honest middle-aged man.

But one can only know a person's true heart through appearance. Liu Suqin waited until Julie got in the car, then leaned over and motioned for her to open the window. Then, she shouted, "Remember to call me when you get home. If you don't hear from me in more than half an hour, I'll go to your house and settle the score."

Julie knew what she meant and smiled in agreement, "Don't worry, my home isn't far from here. It'll only take ten minutes at most. I won't keep you waiting too long."

Liu Suqin nodded, looked the driver straight in the eye, and said politely, "Thank you, Master, for taking my friend to her home."

The driver also responded with a few good-natured words, then slowly started the car and drove away.

Liu Suqin stood there and waved, then turned around and went back to the hotel.

Lin Nanjiang upstairs hadn't gone to bed yet. He was curled up on the sofa, watching a movie at a volume that was almost silent. Perhaps because he was afraid that his wife's knocking on the door when she came back would wake up his daughter, the outer door was only half-closed. He deliberately sat in the seat closest to the door so that he could observe the situation outside at any time.

So when Liu Suqin approached and found the door ajar, she pushed it open silently, her footsteps clearly drowned out by the thick carpet. However, the movement was still noticed immediately. Lin Nanjiang turned around in surprise and asked quietly, "Are you back?"

Probably because she had gotten over the sleepiness, Liu Suqin was now extremely energetic. Lin Nanjiang was even more of a latecomer due to work reasons, so the two night owls squeezed on the sofa and whispered.

Liu Suqin briefly recounted the agreement she had just made with Julie. Lin Nanjiang was even more enthusiastic than her, his eyes gleaming with anticipation and pride. "I remember when we first started our business, we only thought we'd be content if we could buy a house in Shenzhen and get a foothold. If we could raise our child well and send him/her abroad to study, it would truly bring honor to our family and make us look down upon our hometown. But now, before our daughter even starts school, we're already taking her abroad to see the world on our own. Who could have imagined this?"

Liu Suqin agrees deeply. "So, instead of putting the hope of turning things around on the next generation, it's better to work hard and make money faster. When parents can provide good living conditions, the children will feel relieved and can enjoy life."

Lin Nanjiang still had a bit of a desire to see his son and daughter become successful, so he said with a smile, "Yes, we have the conditions now. We can take our daughter abroad more often to see the customs and cultures of different countries and understand the situation abroad. At the same time, we can also help her practice English. This is what you call winning at the starting line, right?"

Liu Suqin: ...

Were they talking about the same thing? But on second thought, she was also a beneficiary of Lin Nanjiang's traditional thinking. He wholeheartedly put the needs of his wife and children first, which was much better than just caring about his own enjoyment and running out to spend money on wine and women as soon as he had a little money.

There was no intention of correcting his thoughts at this moment. Liu Suqin followed his words and began to change the subject. "Yes, yes, this time we go abroad, we must learn from Julie and the others and strive to take the children abroad on our own in the future. That way, with more trips and more experience, maybe we can also take the elders to see the outside world."

Lin Nanjiang followed her words and thought for a while, his back straight. "Indeed, our parents probably never dreamed that they would have the blessing of going abroad and having the opportunity to bring them all with them, and oh, Quansheng's family as well."

Liu Suqin thought that Lin Quansheng was indeed her true love, and he would never forget his best brother no matter what good things happened.

They say that a well-fed granary fosters good manners. In his previous life, his family lived a modest existence, so Lin Nanjiang devoted himself to managing their own small life. Now that he has the means, he wants to be more filial to his parents. Before leaving, he teased his children about the family's plan to go to the capital next time. "If we can make the trip next summer, can you take my parents with you? They long to see Tiananmen Square in the capital, just like my parents-in-law do. My dad once said that if he could see the leader's remains in person, he would have no regrets in his life."

Liu Suqin said straightforwardly, "Do you even need to ask? If my parents are happy, then we can all go together and bring them here to stay for a while."

"I knew my wife was the most filial and generous." Lin Nanjiang happily hugged her shoulders tightly and whispered softly, "Speaking of going abroad, I'm going back to my hometown in two months to finalize the passenger line with my fourth brother and second brother-in-law. I can also go to the county to apply for a passport. Will you come back with me then?"

"I won't go back. You can make the arrangements."

Because they chatted too late, the couple both slept in. It was almost nine o'clock, and they were still lying in bed, unwilling to move. Bored little Fangfang crawled from the head of the bed to the foot, tossing and turning several times, but failed to wake her parents up. It was not until the phone rang that the child, as if she had found a new toy, rushed to the bedside table where the phone was placed, picked up the phone and began to greet people skillfully, "Hello, who is calling?"

She immediately recognized the voice on the other end of the phone and excitedly began to greet him, "Good morning, Uncle Quansheng. Have you eaten? Did you miss me... Oh, I'm looking for my parents, but they're still in bed..."

Before he could finish his words, the receiver was suddenly snatched away.

Little Fangfang was a good child who never forgot her original intention. Whenever she went on a trip with her parents, she would always call her close elders to share her happy experiences. The people who answered the phone would always listen to her chatter. But Lin Quansheng didn't give the child time to express herself. He directly said he was looking for his parents. In addition, his daughter mentioned that he and his wife were still lying in bed. Lin Nanjiang was really worried that she would accidentally reveal something more exciting, so he grabbed the microphone and just started to ask what was wrong. Lin Quansheng, who heard his voice, fired like a machine gun, "Nanjiang, go, go to the bank and check your accounts. I received news this morning that the demolition compensation has been received. See if you have received the money. Don't forget to check the specific amount. In case there is a shortage, you must find them to make up for it as soon as possible..."

Upon hearing the good news about the transfer, Lin Nanjiang quickly put on his shoes and got down to the ground. Standing in front of the phone, he asked loudly, "Really? That's great! How much did you receive this time? Did they transfer the amount according to the contract?"

"I came to inform you right after I heard the news. I was worried it would be too late for you and your sister-in-law to take the kids out to play, so it would be inconvenient to contact you." Lin Quansheng said excitedly, "After I finish talking to you, I'm going to check at the bank too."

"Okay, I'll go to the nearest bank now. Don't forget to call us back when you get the result."

The two of them spoke louder and louder, and Liu Suqin could hear their conversation clearly without getting close. So as soon as they finished talking, she suggested, "Let's split up. You go to the bank first. I'll wash up later, buy breakfast downstairs, and then come back to wait for you."

Lin Nanjiang hurriedly took two sets of clothes and went to the bathroom to change. He also reminded the mother and daughter to eat the breakfast they bought while it was hot and not to wait for him to come back to eat.

Liu Suqin happily accepted his suggestion.

They were not in a hurry to get up today, not only because they were lazy, but also because they were tired of the buffet breakfast downstairs and were ready to try a noodle restaurant in the alley next door. Last time they accidentally passed by there, they found that the inconspicuous little shop was actually crowded with people, and there were many middle-aged and elderly people in well-dressed clothes, who looked like sophisticated and particular locals.

In fact, standing outside and smelling the endless aroma, you know that the food in this noodle shop is good. Lin Nanjiang, who is not shy, went in to ask and was recommended the shop’s signature yellow croaker noodles by an uncle sitting outside. The couple immediately decided to check in for the yellow croaker noodles this morning.

The hotel's buffet breakfast is served before nine o'clock, and the noodle shop's business hours are longer, so Liu Suqin and Lin Nanjiang can stay in bed without worry.

Recalling the fragrance she smelled that time, Liu Suqin couldn't sit still. After Lin Nanjiang hurriedly washed up and went out, she also dressed neatly and took her daughter directly to the store.

It's obvious that packaged noodles will definitely not taste as good as freshly baked ones. Lin Nanjiang has no choice. She and her daughter have the conditions, so naturally they want to experience the freshest and most delicious ones.

Her decision was absolutely right. The freshly-cooked yellow croaker noodles were so delicious that they made your eyebrows drop. The noodle soup was boiled into a thick milky white color. Once you took a bite, the rich fish flavor filled your entire mouth like an explosion. It seemed light, but it was actually overbearing, making you unable to stop eating.

Of course, the yellow croaker fillets fried in lard until golden on both sides are also very fragrant, especially since the chef has dealt with the fish bones in advance, which Xiao Fangfang is very satisfied with.

The mother and daughter were so engrossed in drinking the soup that no one paid any attention to the noodles which were their staple food.

Because Liu Suqin is a fickle woman, she came for the yellow croaker noodles, but after sitting down she was attracted by the scallion oil noodles. She ordered a bowl of mixed noodles with roast pork as a topping. The thick and red sauce topping paired with the scallion oil noodles was very tasty. When she got tired of it, she could drink a few mouthfuls of fish soup to relieve her tiredness and then continue eating.

Before they knew it, the mother and daughter had finished all the noodles and fish soup.

The child finally left the noodle shop with a bulging belly. She took the noodles she had packed for her father and held her mother's hand with one hand, returning to the hotel room slowly.

Lin Nanjiang came back soon. At his daughter's urging, he immediately opened the still hot yellow croaker noodles and started to drink it like crazy. Liu Suqin held the detailed list that he had specially asked the staff to print out in both hands and counted the numbers without blinking.

One, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand, one hundred thousand...five hundred thousand!

She had opened this card to receive the demolition compensation and had never used it before, so it only contained the two most recent payments. The demolition compensation and the transitional resettlement fees for the past two months came together. The figures were uneven, accurate to a few cents, but Liu Suqin felt more comfortable than ever before.

This is more than half a million dollars. Who would complain that there are no neat zeros at the end of it?
