"Xiao Nuan, didn't you say you were going to transfer all the business out? Why are you still going to work?" Ye Mei asked her daughter as she watched her daughter dressed up beautifully, carrying her bag and getting ready to leave. She stopped to ask her while holding the water hose for watering the plants.
“Yes, since everyone’s moving out anyway, there’s no need to bother with all this. Just stay home and rest.” Su Ming also stopped practicing Tai Chi.
“Dad, Mom, I’m just going to sign the transfer agreement.” Su Xiaonuan raised her head. “After being in the newspaper for so many days, finally someone is willing to pay to transfer my business. This person is really generous; whatever price I ask for, that’s it, no haggling at all.”
"Is that so?" Ye Mei waved her hand with a smile. "Then hurry up and go, sign the contract, and come back as soon as you receive the money."
"Go and come back quickly!" Su Ming raised his hand and made a mahjong shuffling motion. "You just taught us how to play mahjong, we can't be short one player this afternoon, otherwise, I'll have to run to the park to find someone to play chess with again."
"Hahaha." Su Xiaonuan laughed and turned to drive. She didn't expect that these old people were so obsessed with Sichuan mahjong. When she first taught them how to play, none of them wanted to, but after they learned, they were even more addicted than she was. They would start playing mahjong as soon as they finished lunch.
As Su Xiaonuan drove, she thought to herself that she would be staying at home as a full-time housewife every day from now on, so she needed to find something more meaningful to do. She had afternoon entertainment activities, so she could do some square dancing in the morning to keep the elderly in good health and help them live to be a hundred years old. Having so many relatives with her was a kind of happiness. With both family and love, her life would be complete.
She arrived at the main store ahead of time, waiting for the big boss to appear. However, the big boss didn't arrive, but Xiao Moran did.
"Hey, what are you doing here?" She looked Xiao Moran up and down. He was wearing a sharp suit, with bright and cheerful features, and that smiling face she could never get tired of looking at. "Didn't you say you had an appointment with a client?"
"Oh, the customer didn't come, so I came to your shop to check it out." He waved his hand. "I was just about to go back and report to you, but I didn't expect you to be here too."
"Perfect timing! My business has been transferred to a new owner, so I'm here to sign the contract," Su Xiaonuan said smugly. "Hmph, even if I become a full-time housewife, I'll still have my own little nest egg. I won't be a woman who just eats for free. My money would be more than enough to earn interest in a good bank."
"It's fine, I'll support you even if you're a freeloader, I'd be willing to support you for generations." Xiao Moran flaunted their affection in front of the shop assistant, reaching out to flick her nose. "From now on, all of my money will go into your little savings account. If anyone dares to say you're a freeloader, I'll shut their mouth."
The female employees in the shop were extremely envious, and they were all whispering among themselves, saying that the boss's wife was so lucky.
Su Xiaonuan personally brewed tea and prepared all the transfer documents. As soon as the person arrived, they signed the documents, exchanged money, and handed over all the business.
Fifteen minutes later, a car stopped in front of the store.
She got up and went out to greet him. The car door opened, and a man in a similarly sharp suit stepped out.
"Is this Mr. Wu?" she greeted him with a smile.
"Yes, that's me." The man nodded and took her outstretched hand. "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, Boss Su."
This man was Xiao Moran's comrade-in-arms and also the helper Xiao Moran had found. As he walked, he sized up Su Xiaonuan, thinking to himself, "This woman is really beautiful. Moran is such a lucky guy. After not seeing her for a few years, he not only married such a beautiful wife, but he's also very successful in his career. He's probably the most successful among our comrades. I'm the one who's not doing well, so I came to rely on my comrade-in-arms, and I got this mission right away."
He went to great lengths to come up with such a method in order to get his wife to stay home and take care of the children.
Su Xiaonuan led the man surnamed Wu inside and introduced him to Xiao Moran. She felt very safe with her man present in this setting.
"Mr. Wu, please take a look at all of these. If there's nothing wrong with them, then let's sign them." She handed over all the documents she had prepared beforehand. "I'm sure you're already familiar with these things."
“No need to look anymore, let’s just sign.” Boss Wu gave Xiao Moran a meaningful look, thinking to himself, this kid is really acting like a stranger. “Since I’m going to transfer these businesses of yours, I must have already found out everything. A businessman wouldn’t do a losing business. These businesses of yours are all profitable, everyone in the provincial capital knows that. I trust my own judgment.”
After saying that, he put the documents Su Xiaonuan had given him aside, picked up a pen, and signed the contract.
Seeing how readily he agreed, Su Xiaonuan took the contract he handed her and signed her name.
Then, the man surnamed Wu took out a bankbook from his bag and handed it to Su Xiaonuan. "The money has already been deposited for Mrs. Xiao."
"Mrs. Xiao?" She was a little unfamiliar with this title; it was the first time someone had addressed her that way. She had always been called Boss Su or Boss's wife.
"Aren't you Mrs. Xiao?" Boss Wu laughed loudly, then handed the signed contract to Xiao Moran. "Alright, Boss Xiao, things are done, you don't need to pretend anymore."
"What's going on?" Su Xiaonuan looked at the two of them, puzzled.
"You should ask your husband about this!" The fake boss shrugged. "I've completed my mission, so Boss Xiao, you have to treat me to a good meal, right? I heard the food here is so delicious it'll make you bite your tongue. You said it, so I can eat as much as I want."
“No problem.” Xiao Moran reached out and called Xiao Cui over. “Go, get a serving of all the restaurant’s best signature dishes.”
"Yes, boss." Xiao Cui responded and left.
Xiao Moran silently accepted all the documents and the contract signed by Su Xiaonuan, raising an eyebrow at her. "Wife, don't look at me like that. I was afraid you wouldn't want to transfer it to me, so I asked my comrade to help. Now it's all settled. You can just stay home and take care of the family. As for making money, I'll handle that."
"You little brat, Xiao Moran, you actually lied to me?" Su Xiaonuan reached out and hit him, then twisted his ear and turned it to the next channel.
"Honey, it hurts!" Xiao Moran cried out, wincing. "I promise I won't lie to you again. I was just afraid you wouldn't sign. I was wrong, so wrong..."
"Raise your hands and admit you were wrong." Su Xiaonuan showed no mercy.
Xiao Moran actually raised his hands and said he was wrong.
The man surnamed Wu laughed so hard that tears streamed down his face. "I say, Mr. Xiao, your henpecked behavior is too cowardly."
"Alright, seeing that you've admitted your mistake, I'll let it go this time." Su Xiaonuan looked at the numbers on the bankbook and decided not to punish him anymore. She wanted to save face for him in front of his comrades. As she looked, she sighed. "So, after all this time, I used my own money to transfer ownership of my own shop?"
“That’s different,” Xiao Moran said ingratiatingly. “This money is your private money, it doesn’t need to be recorded, you know what I mean.”
"That's more like it." She put the bankbook away. With so much private money, what was she afraid of? Being a full-time housewife was fine with her.
