Chapter 206: The Watch Is Not a Clock

The Bai family wants to save face, but they are pretending to be generous and are actually shrewd. Now they have been outsmarted, while their ally the Fang family only cares about money and is thinking about that little commission.

Mr. Bai held his chest, pointed at his two sons, panted heavily, gritted his teeth and whispered: "You are really good descendants of our Bai family! This is not celebrating my birthday at all, it's clearly cutting my flesh and taking my life!"

But he had to keep a smile on his face and listen to everyone praising him for his generosity, to show that he didn't care, that his family was rich, and that he didn't need these two things.

Bai Liangxuan was feeling discouraged. He had been led into a trap by An Zhixia and Fang Shikun. If one of them hadn't given them some inspiration and the other hadn't been so kind as to lend them the prize, they wouldn't have lost more than 300,000 yuan today! This was almost throwing away the money they had received from the Fang family.

Bai Lianggui took a deep breath, smiled and comforted the old man in a low voice: "Dad, Comrade An Zhixia is very talented, we will be able to make the money back soon. Look at how many welfare houses Captain Shu's family has bought with her!"

What else can they do except admit their mistakes? From now on, they should never pretend to be generous and let the tiger people take advantage of them!

Everyone moved to the banquet hall, and the younger generation of the Bai family began to give gifts to Mr. Bai. It was nothing to see, but when Bai Junya presented him, he presented an imported watch worth four or five hundred RMB.

An Zhixia stretched her head to take a look and said in a neither-too-loud nor-soft voice, "How could this granddaughter be so ignorant? Where did you get a clock for an old man's birthday?"

Old Master Bai rolled his eyes and almost fainted from anger.

Bai Junya was facing everyone's strange gazes, her face was burning with shame, and she felt that the form in her hand was particularly hot. She looked at An Zhixia with gritted teeth. She was the daughter of the Bai family, and later married the eldest son of the Fang family, and gave birth to a boy. Who wouldn't say that she was lucky?

Even though the Fang family fell into decline, she became the daughter-in-law of the Yu family and was still in great glory. But An Zhixia, this little devil, made her suffer defeat one after another, and now she even slapped her in the face in front of everyone and her family.

"This is a watch! Not a desk clock or a wall clock!" Bai Junya explained word by word while gritting her teeth.

"Wrong," An Zhixia shook her head. "The sound of a bell comes from the metal. It is made of metal and is hollow. It makes a sound when struck. It means a timekeeping device or a clock. According to Mrs. Yu, a watch is not a clock, and Western food is not food. If it were an ordinary mechanical watch, it would be fine, but the mechanical watch in Mrs. Yu's hand is a repeater watch, which can tell time through sound. Why is it not a clock?"

Everyone actually agreed in their hearts, but they couldn't nod in agreement.

"That's enough, Jun Ya, I appreciate your kindness," said Mr. Bai, forcing an ugly smile. "Today, I would like to thank all the leaders and comrades for coming to the calligraphy and painting exhibition. Please feel free to dine at your convenience. I hope you will forgive me for any inadequacy of our hospitality."

With these incidents, the Bai family was not in the mood to hold a banquet. The guests simply ate some cakes and left in a hurry with a lot of things to talk about. An Zhixia took a truck carrying goods from the department store and went home with a truck full of spoils.

When we arrived at the entrance of the alley, An Zhiqiu and Fang Hongye were already waiting.

Seeing this, Li Hanqian and his wife, who were following the truck, said hello and asked the driver to drive home.

"Brother, sister-in-law, please help me move the things quickly," An Zhixia jumped out of the car and gave the truck driver five dollars for his hard work. It took the four of them more than ten trips back and forth to move all the things.

After sending the truck driver away, An Zhiqiu and Fang Hongye looked at the things that filled the back house, "Sister, are you attending a party? Not going to rob?"

An Zhixia stroked the motorcycles with great joy, but she did not hesitate to tell her brother and sister-in-law what happened that night. Then she thought for a moment and explained, "Although these things are prizes I won, they belong to Brother Yuan's family. I will ask Jing Xiaosheng to help sell them and convert them into cash for Brother Yuan.

Brother, what do you think of these motorcycles? How about we buy two? When you are off duty, you can take your sister-in-law to ride around Kyoto. How romantic!

"Too high profile, isn't it?" As a man, An Zhiqiu naturally has no resistance to cars. "Motorcycles make too much noise. When they go in and out, they can alarm the entire alley. It would be bad if our family was targeted."

An Zhixia thought about it and agreed. At least before the turbulent ten years were over, their family should not be too high-profile. Three years passed by with gritted teeth and endured. She patted the motorcycle one by one reluctantly before locking the door.

Now you need tickets to buy anything, and the more expensive and high-end the tickets are, the harder it is to get them. There are many rich people in Kyoto, so these things are very popular on the black market. In a few days, Jing Xiaosheng sold them all at a price 20% higher than the original price, earning a total of 38,500 yuan, plus a bonus of 2,500 yuan, a total of 40,000 yuan!

An Zhixia asked Jing Xiaosheng to exchange all the money for gold that could maintain its value, and put it in the supermarket to keep for Fang Yuan, and then give it to him when they met next time.

Seeing how much everyone valued the quintessence of Chinese culture, An Zhixia had an idea in her mind: Whose money is the easiest to make? Women and children! In the 21st century, all kinds of maternal and child stores and educational institutions are blooming everywhere. After the economic policy is relaxed in a few years, she can open a large educational institution in the city center, including women's plastic yoga, postpartum yoga, prenatal education, early childhood education, private one-stop kindergartens, elementary schools, junior high schools, and high schools, as well as various art classes, cram schools, and after-school classes.

Making money is a given, but for her, money is secondary. If she can infiltrate the later generations' concept of early education for children into Xiahua Country in advance, then can she use her meager strength to drive the development of the country's overall economy, science and technology, etc.?

If the youth are strong, the country will be strong!

An Zhixia wrote it down heavily in her future plan notebook. However, the most urgent task was to get hair samples from An's father and several children, so the three of them took a bus on the weekend and arrived in Xicheng District amidst the unpleasant smell and stops.

Fang Hongye was a little nervous. She couldn't hold An Zhiqiu's arm, so she could only hold An Zhixia's.

"Sister-in-law, no one in their family likes us, so you don't need to take it too seriously. If anyone makes things difficult for you, just fight back. Don't be a bullied wife. Otherwise, they will become more and more aggressive." An Zhixia explained to her again.

This time they went directly to An's house. Unlike the second day of the Chinese New Year when everyone in the family went to visit relatives in the countryside, before they even entered the yard, they heard adults scolding and children making noises and crying, which was enough to blow the roof off the house.

"Oh, Zhiqiu and Zhixia are back? Is this Zhiqiu's wife? How come she is so pretty?" The old lady carrying a basket of vegetables in the yard came out and took a look, and said sourly, didn't he say he married a rural wife?
