"A little more substantial?"

Erdan repeated Su Qinghu's words.

Su Qinghu shrugged, "Yes."

"Then I'll buy you a gold necklace." Erdan said without hesitation, "I'll buy it today."

Su Qinghu was surprised, "What?"

"I'll buy you a gold necklace today!" Erdan said with increasing joy. "Next time, if anyone asks you who bought you your first gold necklace, just say your second son bought it for you!"

Be the first person to buy a gold necklace for Ms. Su before his father does!

"You have money?" Su Qinghu wondered. "We agreed before that all your and your brother's money would be used for investment. You can't touch a single bit of it."

"Don't we save all our New Year's money, pocket money, and the money we earn ourselves?" Erdan smiled. "Over the past two years, during the winter and summer vacations, whenever we weren't busy, we went to tourist attractions and worked as foreign language guides. We earned quite a bit of money."

"Besides," Erdan glanced at Dadan, "except for the bet with the teacher and the free help for the underachieving students, my brother is always being begged for tutoring."

"There were too many people, so my brother suggested charging a fee." Erdan bared his teeth. "So, I followed his example and started charging for this business, too."

"When you're busy, we'll ask grandma to go to the bank with us to deposit money."

Erdan didn't wait for his elder brother to confess, and blurted out everything about how he saved the money.

Su Qinghu: "Does your teacher agree? Will it have any impact on you?"

She frowned slightly and looked at her eldest son who was holding Li Tuaner's hand.

Dadan: "At first, some people said something, but then the students and parents who asked me for extra lessons stepped in and resolved the issue. After that, no one said anything anymore."

hiss--

Su Qinghu looked at Dadan and asked carefully, "Among the students you tutor, what's the worst ranking in the class?"

"I'm hovering around the bottom ten." Dadan told the truth.

"So what place did you get him to?" Su Qinghu almost had a guess in his mind, "Or in other words, how many points did you increase for him?"

There was no boasting in Dadan's eyes. He simply calmly recounted a very ordinary event, "Twenty-first place. All subjects were above the class average."

He didn't calculate the exact number of points.

Because the students who needed to make up lessons at that time only wanted to improve their ranking.

Su Qinghu gasped, "How long did it take?"

"Half a semester." Dadan thought for a moment and added, "I started doing this when I was in junior high school."

Later, as more and more people wanted to ask him for extra lessons, he let bidding take over.

"Duoduo——" Dadan hesitated.

Su Qinghu: "He's involved too?"

"No." Dadan quickly denied, "Duoduo didn't participate, but we told him not to tell you..."

He said, lowering his head.

Su Qinghu looked at Erdan, who was beaming, wondering what he was thinking. Then he looked at Dadan, who had his head lowered, not knowing what he had done wrong, and remained silent.

"Mother?"

Li Tuan'er tugged at Su Qinghu's trouser leg and waited for her to look over. "Mom, are you going to criticize my brother?"

"What? Do you have anything to say?" Su Qinghu lowered her head, looked at her son with dark eyes, and said with a smile, "Do you still want to be criticized together with your brother?"

"I don't want to be criticized along with my brother." Li Tuan'er shook her head and then asked solemnly, "Mom, can I buy this for you?"

He stood on tiptoe and touched Su Qinghu's ear with his little hand, "Gold."

He donated part of his money during his travels and spent part of it, and he had no cash left.

Now, there is only money in the passbook his mother opened for him.

"Sure, but it might require using your savings. Are you willing?" Su Qinghu smiled and squeezed his little hand. "It'll cost a lot of money."

"I'm willing." Li Tuan'er nodded, "I also want to go with my brother to give mom a surprise."

Su Qinghu raised his eyebrows slightly, "Surprise?"

"Yeah." Li Tuan'er threw herself into Su Qinghu's arms, "My brother and I were at grandma's house and agreed to buy gold for mom."

In the compound, some aunts said that the international situation has changed now, and it is safe to buy some gold.

After hearing this, the second brother told him and the eldest brother that he wanted to buy gold jewelry for his mother.

He and his brother were both willing, so they agreed.

"Gold?" Su Qinghu has been so busy lately that he is dizzy. In addition, his money is either making money or on the way to making money. He does not have a lot of cash on hand, so he did not think about buying gold.

"Yeah." Erdan nodded and sighed, "The price of gold is much higher now than before."

Su Qinghu was stunned. What is the current price of gold?

After thinking for a while, I couldn’t find the gold price in my mind, so I stopped thinking about it.

"What are you waiting for? Go buy it now!" Su Qinghu took action directly.

"Our passbook is at home." Erdan hurriedly reminded, "Mom, go home first."

Su Qinghu thought about it and called her mother-in-law to go with her.

Not to mention buying a lot, but buying one or two sets will always be no problem for my mother-in-law.

I rushed home with my child and then rushed to the bank. With the help of Manager Zhao, I didn't have to wait in line.

They withdrew the cash and went straight to the gold shop.

Ms. Meng was still a little dazed, holding the thick envelope in her hand. "Why do you suddenly want to buy gold?"

I haven't seen her have this kind of hobby usually...

"Mom, haven't you paid attention to the gold price recently?" Su Qinghu asked.

"My attention has been completely focused on my children lately, and I haven't paid much attention to anything else." Ms. Meng was puzzled. "Why, has the price of gold fluctuated so much recently?"

Su Qinghu: "...Mom, I didn't pay attention either."

If the children hadn't put on a show to get her to agree to withdraw money to buy her gold jewelry, she wouldn't have thought of this.

When he arrived at the gold jewelry counter and saw the huge crowd, Su Qinghu was stunned.

Aren’t there too many people?

How to squeeze in?

"You are not allowed to squeeze with them!" Su Qinghu frowned as he looked at everything in front of him, turned his head and told the children who followed closely beside him, "Be good and stay with me and your grandma."

It’s okay for adults, but if children encounter a stampede, they can only blame their bad luck.

Compared to buying any gold jewelry, the safety of your child is the most important thing.

But no one expected that a tall figure would stand up from the gold jewelry counter and walk out with a small package in his hand.

Just turning around, I saw the family opposite.

Su Qinghu was shocked and her eyes widened. She never thought that Chen Lie would be here, and she never thought that he would squeeze into the crowd to buy gold jewelry!

Chen Lie met Su Qinghu's eyes and smiled.

He raised the jewelry box in his hand and walked out of the crowd slowly.

The moment the children saw him, they rushed into the crowd, yelling.

Seeing this, Chen Lie quickened his pace, and a second before they rushed into the crowd, he took a big step, walked out of the crowd and caught them.
