After bringing the raw stone home, Chang Jing saw off his two brothers and put the raw stone into his spatial storage. Then he began to write down his plans one by one.

In the evening, Song Huizhen brought Chang Ling back to cook. The three of them worked together seamlessly, and dinner was ready quickly.

Now that the fruit shop is open, Song Huizhen is usually very busy, but in order for her children to be able to eat home-cooked meals, she comes home every night to cook, and the staff at the fruit shop also look after it.

Incidentally, it's worth mentioning that the big, simple-minded guy, after being beaten into submission by Chang Jing, took Chang Jing's advice and found another job instead of being a pickpocket. Coincidentally, he went to apply for a job at Song Huizhen's fruit shop, and Song Huizhen happened to need a strong male clerk, so the big, simple-minded guy was hired.

When the big, clumsy guy saw that Chang Jing was actually the owner of a fruit shop, he worked incredibly hard. In fact, he didn't dare not work hard, because he was terrified of being beaten up that day.

"Mom, I have something I want to tell you."

After finishing dinner and washing the dishes, Chang Jing came out to find his mother and sister sitting by the coffee table, counting money and calculating the turnover.

"Okay, go ahead and talk. Come sit here and let's talk."

Song Huizhen put down what she was doing and let her son sit down in front of her. Chang Ling continued working on the fruit shop's ledger without even looking up, but kept an eye on her older brother.

"Today I went to Ping County with Tangyuan and the others. We won four million yuan gambling on stones. I want to use the money to buy a house and rebuild the house in the countryside."

The exit was a bomb. Song Huizhen was stunned. Chang Ling also looked up to check if her brother had eaten too much cabbage. Why was he daydreaming?

"It's true. I bought a rough stone for 500 yuan, cut out a piece of high-quality red jadeite, and then sold it for 4.2 million yuan. So now we have money, we can buy a house, a car, and a shop, and we can build a building in the countryside to rent out."

"Brother, are you serious? It's not April Fool's Day? You're not daydreaming?"

Chang Ling threw down the pen in her hand, jumped up, and patted her cheeks.

"Xiao Jing, is this money...is it safe? You won it gambling on jade, will there be any trouble?"

When a huge sum of money falls from the sky, how can the poor become rich? Song Huizhen thought about more than that; she was more worried about whether her family had the ability to handle the money.

"There won't be any trouble. It was Tangyuan's dad who helped connect them and sell the jade. Tangyuan and the others also made a profit, but they didn't earn as much as I did."

"The Tang family helped us out, so have you properly thanked them? Should we invite the Tang family to dinner sometime?"

"No need. Tangyuan and I are good brothers. After we buy a house in Junchi Plaza and become neighbors, our two families can get to know each other better!"

"Brother, shall we buy a house in Junchi Plaza? That would be great! My best friend's family bought a house there too, so I can go to school with her in the future."

"Mom, how about we go to Junchi Plaza together tomorrow to finalize the purchase of the apartment?"

"Junchi Plaza! Isn't that too far? It's not as convenient for you and Xiaoling to go to school as it is now."

In fact, Song Hye-jin was reluctant to buy such an expensive house. A typical apartment in a residential complex costs a little over a thousand yuan per square meter, while Junchi Plaza costs nearly two thousand yuan per square meter.

"Mom, I'm also planning to buy you a car. You used to drive, so you can just retake the driving test to get your license."

Chang Jing remembered that when he was five or six years old, he went out with Song Huizhen in a truck. Back then, Song Huizhen drove a Dongfeng truck and took Chang Jing with her to help transport stones to the quarry.

Thinking about her license plate, Song Huizhen felt truly regretful. In the early 1980s, the Song family gave Song Huizhen 1,000 yuan to learn to drive. At that time, female drivers were really rare, and Song Huizhen was quite glamorous in her youth.

Until she met Chang Guomin, who was also a truck driver, the two drove together in the same fleet. Chang Guomin was tall and handsome when he was young, and under his pursuit, Song Huizhen agreed to date him without much consideration.

Song Huizhen thought that since they were both drivers, they earned money easily and should be able to live a good life together as a family. However, after they got married, Chang Guomin told Song Huizhen to stop driving, saying it was too tiring and would be dangerous if she had a child.

Song Huizhen thought it was her husband's thoughtfulness and happily agreed. However, after she actually had a child, Chang Guomin was sent back by the motorcade because he was too temperamental and did not follow orders.

Song Huizhen didn't pay much attention at the time. After giving birth to the child, she planned to go back to being a driver, since being a driver was really lucrative back then.

Chang Guomin was unhappy. He believed that women only needed to take care of their families and not go out to be drivers and show their faces in public. Moreover, being a driver required traveling long distances. Chang Guomin directly tore up Song Huizhen's license plate and went directly to the car fleet to process Song Huizhen's resignation.

From the moment Chang Jing was born, Chang Guomin used the child to pressure Song Huizhen into making various compromises. Later, Song Huizhen was no longer able to work as a driver, and her license plate expired, but she never went to renew the paperwork.

"Okay, I'll go get my driver's license and wait for my son to buy me a car."

Song Huizhen thought of her son's childhood words, when he said he would buy a car for his mother when he grew up. Tears welled up in her eyes; her son had truly remembered what he had said as a child.

"Mom, aren't you touched? I'll buy you jewelry when I earn money in the future."

Seeing her mother's satisfied expression, Chang Ling felt a little jealous. She was sure her mother would be very successful at making money in the future. "Hmph, that brat of a brother, he's already ahead!"

"Little sister, I can buy a jewelry belt for Mom right now, and of course I'll buy one for you too."

He spoils his jealous younger sister, Chang Ling. Chang Jing occasionally likes to tease Chang Ling until she gets angry, but he feels more sorry for her sensible nature. Before he was reborn, his sister's thinking was always more mature than his own, which was his dereliction of duty.
