Chapter 219 I'm Free

The chef prepared dinner again, and Su Heng felt that the fish soup was extremely delicious.

After the lively dinner, the guests left one by one. Fu Jianping and his friends did not stay here. Yao Wenyin felt that the young couple needed private space.

After everyone left, Su Heng immediately returned to the bedroom and brought out a small box.

"Lu Mingchuan, come and count the money!"

There was joy in their voices.

Lu Mingchuan placed his son in the cradle with one hand, then went out to hang the diapers up, and then went into the house to help count the money.

The small box was full of money, but not entirely money, because Su Heng said that it could be exchanged for equivalent gold, so there was a layer of small yellow croakers at the bottom.

The current price of gold is just over ten yuan per gram. In the next few years, affected by the international situation, it will be no problem for the price to triple. This is a sure-win business.

However, they didn't exchange much gold, they only received 700 grams.

The biggest profit came from the six white-crowned lotus plants, which were sold for a total of 30,900 yuan. After deducting the 7,700 yuan paid in gold, the total profit was 23,200 yuan in cash.

There are also other scattered flowers, which are sold for a few dollars, dozens to hundreds of dollars.

However, most of the pots that cost a few dollars or tens of dollars are given as gifts. If others spend hundreds or thousands of dollars, they will definitely be more generous.

But even so, the remaining 300-odd pots sold for a total of 14,200.

All together, they earned a total of thirty-seven thousand four today.

Plus 700 grams of gold.

Su Heng happily pulled Lu Mingchuan to count again, and after confirming that everything was correct, she excitedly said, "What a great harvest!"

You know, they still have hundreds of pots of flowers that haven't been sold.

Even though most of them are common varieties, there are large quantities and the minimum price is guaranteed to be 10,000.

Lu Mingchuan: "My wife is amazing. I can live off her again."

Su Heng snorted lightly: "Why don't you come quickly and give your meal ticket a shoulder massage and leg rub to please me?"

Lu Mingchuan immediately lowered his brows and sat down next to her, chuckling softly, "As you wish. Do you need any other help?"

Su Heng: "Forget about the paid service."

Lu Mingchuan: "No, it's free."

Su Heng:?

How can a man be so worthless!

The next day, the two of them went to exchange the money for passbooks.

After all, it is difficult to hide such a big box. Su Heng was afraid that someone would sneak into the house and steal it when she went out to feed the fish.

Besides, they now have the support of the Fu family, so they don’t have to worry about being investigated by interested parties when they deposit money.

All the young men in the compound had some family background, so they were inconspicuous among the others.

But to be honest, Fu Jianping and Yao Wenyin never mentioned changing their surnames to Lu Mingchuan.

Su Heng felt that they were probably too embarrassed to bring it up, because Lu Mingchuan had said from the beginning that his father married into the Lu family.

The two elders were indeed embarrassed to mention it. Anyway, now everyone knew that Mingchuan was the grandson of the Fu family. No one dared to bully their family anymore, so it didn't matter what their surname was.

In the following days, Su Heng had to concentrate on her studies as the end of the semester was approaching.

Lu Mingchuan was in charge of the remaining orchids. Yao Wenyin guided him for a while and then let him take care of it on his own.

Principles can be taught, but experience cannot. You have to practice it yourself.

So Lu Mingchuan took the remaining flowers and used his connections to rent a large truck. He made several trips to Jinshi and several more distant cities.

During this period, Qiuqiu was taken care of by the two elders. Su Heng either returned to live at the Fu family or the two elders came to live in the garden.

It was not until mid-July, when Su Heng finished her final exams and summer vacation arrived, that Lu Mingchuan returned exhausted a few days later.

He not only sells orchids, but also develops his own network of contacts. He can make a lot of money by selling some "specialties" during a trip.

Including the money from the remaining four Suguan Lotus Ding plants, there was an additional 28,000 yuan in the passbook.

"I want to buy a truck."

Su Heng, who was trying on the new clothes Lu Mingchuan brought back, suddenly heard these words and turned around in surprise.

Lu Mingchuan seemed to be thinking for a long time. He said, "It would be much more convenient if I had my own car. I've calculated that even if I don't sell flowers, I can make back my money in less than a year at my current rate."

He spoke very seriously, but Su Heng suddenly laughed.

"If you want to buy it, just buy it. Do you have a brand in mind?"

As if he hadn't expected Su Heng to agree so easily, Lu Mingchuan was stunned for a moment before shaking his head and saying, "Don't be picky about the brand, just buy the cheapest one."

Su Heng said, "How can that be? If you're going to buy something, choose carefully. This is what you're going to eat in the future."

Lu Mingchuan hugged Su Heng curiously and asked, "But didn't you say before that you wanted to save money to buy a few more houses?"

"It's true that you want to buy a yard, but of course I have to listen to your ideas. Since you want to develop your business, you must invest in the early stages. I believe that you will be able to make back the money you didn't buy sooner or later."

In fact, there are not so many good yards now, so you still have to wait if you want this thing to appreciate in value.

But with a big car, you can make money immediately.

It is really inconvenient to rent a car. They are all government cars. The cost of going up and down and the rental fee is nearly 600 yuan in total. It is not cost-effective.

After hearing what Su Heng said, Lu Mingchuan felt soft in his heart. He hugged his wife, rubbed her head, and kissed her a few times, as if he was very moved.

Su Heng smiled and said, "You're so easy to please. Are you so moved already?"

Lu Mingchuan nodded: "My wife is the best."

Su Heng patted his stubbled chin and said, "Okay, I've boiled some water for you. Go wash up quickly. You've been busy for so long, take a good rest."

Lu Mingchuan naturally did as he was told.

Over the next few days, the two compared many options and ultimately spent nearly 30,000 yuan to buy a one-ton truck.

Now trucks can only be registered under the name of collective units. You can find the unit where you rented the car before and pay a registration fee of 100 yuan a year to register the car there. It is much more cost-effective than renting a car.

With the 65,000 yuan they had saved before, plus the 5,000 yuan given by their grandmother, they had already saved a huge sum of 70,000 yuan.

This time it was almost half less, only a little over 40,000.

It was Su Heng's first time riding in a truck. After climbing on it, she felt that her vision was much wider.

It was so cool driving all the way home.

That's right, their side door needs to be renovated, otherwise it won't be possible to drive in.

Special parking spaces must be provided for trucks.

Because they bought a new car, the two invited their grandparents over for a meal.

Yao Wenyin wanted to take out money again, but Su Heng was not short of money now, so she stopped her immediately.

"Grandma, you'll make us lose the motivation to fight."

Yao Wenming laughed at the music: "Then I'll save it for you first. If it's not enough, tell me. Oh, by the way, don't you like buying a yard? I can exchange it for you."

Su Heng hugged Yao Wenyin and said coquettishly, "Grandma, you are so good. You are my dear grandma."

Yao Wenyin was immediately coaxed into smiling, and went to see the yard the next day.

As for Lu Mingchuan, he had a new car and couldn't sit still after resting at home for a few days. In late July, he drove away from home again.

Su Heng suddenly had some free time, so she planned the new garden for Meng Xiao. Since she couldn't sell the big trees, she only sold some small potted plants and made a small profit.

Unexpectedly, many people came to her to buy bonsai later.
