Mu Chenze had only spent a few days with his father-in-law, but he trusted Xiaoxuan's vision and judgment.
"Count me in too. Grandma gave me 5,000 yuan to change my name, and my parents each gave me 2,000 yuan. I'll ask Mom for a little more, and I can get 10,000 yuan."
Chu Xuan dissuaded him softly, "Talk to your parents first, don't act on your own."
"The money is mine. I have the right to deal with it myself. At worst, I won't ask Mom for money. I'll just give her nine thousand."
"That won't work either. Listen to me, go home tonight and discuss it with your parents."
"All right!"
In the office, Tian Xiaoyun and Wu Bingcheng were talking on the phone.
"Bingcheng, how are things going?"
"It's being treated. It's not a serious problem. Don't worry. Xiaoyun, have you seen a doctor?"
"I've checked it out. I've packed some Chinese medicine. I'll take it on time, don't worry! Xiao Xuan just asked you to help sell the amber. Why didn't you take it with you before?"
Wu Bingcheng had already thought of an excuse. "I need to find out the market first, right? The market is good, and Lin Lang is coming over, so I specifically asked Xiao Xuan about this."
"Okay! Can our mother handle it?"
"I'm a little tired, but there's nothing I can do. She has to take action."
…
We chatted for a while and then hung up.
Ten minutes later, the three of them returned home.
Mu Chenze went to the kitchen to busy himself, while Chu Xuan and Tian Xiaoyun returned to the bedroom to see Amber.
When Tian Xiaoyun saw the amber, he exclaimed, "Xiao Xuan, this piece of amber could be sold for at least hundreds of thousands of yuan abroad, or even more. I've seen a piece of similar quality before, a bit smaller than this one, that sold for 150,000 yuan at an auction."
Chu Xuan only knew that amber would be sold at a good price in China in a few years, but he didn't expect that it could be sold at such a high price in foreign countries at present.
If I can make more money, I can help my dad and the others.
At this moment, the voices of Chu Feng, Er Leng and others were heard outside.
Chu Xuan and Tian Xiaoyun stopped talking about amber, and Chu Xuan put it away quickly.
After a while, the two of them went to the main room to greet Erleng and the others.
Liu Zhaodi also came, carrying a bag of homemade fried meatballs. She greeted Tian Xiaoyun and her daughter and insisted on going to the kitchen to help.
I can't stop her, I can only let her go.
Chu Feng also followed into the kitchen.
Erleng and Sanleng are sensible and insist on helping.
Mu Chenze is responsible for cooking.
Neither Tian Xiaoyun nor her daughter could get involved.
While eating, Chu Feng would pick up some food for Zhaodi from time to time.
Tian Xiaoyun kept it in mind and planned to ask Xiaoxuan later.
After dinner, Mu Chenze wanted to go home and send Liu Zhaodi and her two siblings home. Chu Feng insisted on following him.
Mu Chenze did not stop him.
About ten minutes later, after sending Liu Zhaodi and the others home, Mu Chenze called Xiaofeng to his house, saying that he would visit Xiaofeng's house again later.
Xiao Feng had nothing to do, so he followed.
After Erleng Sanleng returned home, he ran to Mou Xing.
"Mom, my classmate is wrong."
Mou Xing gently rubbed the heads of his two sons and asked, "What did your classmates say?"
Sanleng spoke up first, "My classmates said that Xiaofeng's family has some wealthy relatives, and they're treating us to a meal just to show off. They're just going to let us watch, and they won't actually treat us to a good meal. That's not true at all."
Erleng added, "That's right. Brother Xiaofeng treated us to a lot of delicious food, cooked by Brother Chenze himself! There was braised pork and those expensive seafood that we usually can't afford to eat. There were eight dishes and a soup!"
Liu Zhaodi came over, looking helpless, "Mom, the food is too sumptuous. I'm embarrassed to go there anymore."
Mou Xing noticed his daughter's retreat. "Is it because the sumptuous meal reminds you of Xiaoxuan's family's wealth?"
Liu Zhaodi nodded. "Our family's conditions are even worse than Sister Xiaoxuan's. They treated us to such a good meal, and we can't offer them the same price in return."
Mou Xing patiently counseled, "Zhao Di, you know Xiao Xuan's family. They're not partial to the poor or the rich. It's rare to find such good friends. You can't distance yourself from her family because of that little bit of inferiority in your heart, otherwise you will miss out on good friends. You may not have much money, but you have sincerity."
Successfully awakened Liu Zhaodi.
"Mom, I understand. If we treat them sincerely, we can treat them to a meal in the future without spending the same amount of money. We can also make their favorite dumplings and steamed buns. In the future, if his family needs any help, our family will help them."
"That's the right way to think about it."
…
When they arrived at the Mu family, Mu Chenze arranged for Xiao Feng to eat fruit in the main room and went into Qin Mahua's bedroom.
In a low voice, they discussed, "Mom, the Wu family's business has run into some problems and needs capital turnover. I want to help."
Qin Mahua smiled and asked, "How do you want to help?"
"I'll take the money I received for changing my name, add another thousand yuan, and make it ten thousand yuan, and give it to my father-in-law. Mom, do you agree? Of course, you have to keep this a secret and not tell my mother-in-law. She's in poor health, and my father-in-law doesn't want her to worry."
"Did your father-in-law borrow money from you?"
"No. I borrowed money from Xiaoxuan. I offered to borrow it."
"How much do you know about the Wu family's business?"
"I don't quite understand. Mother, you wouldn't disagree with me paying so much, would you? Don't forget, that money is all given by the Wu family to change my name."
"That's not what I meant. What I meant was that if you knew more about the Wu family's business, we could lend them an extra 20,000 yuan."
Mu Chenze waved his hand gently, "No need to borrow so much. Xiao Xuan picked up a piece of amber earlier, which can be sold for tens of thousands of yuan. Just keep our money, we need to buy a new boat in the future."
Qin Mahua was pleasantly surprised. "Xiao Xuan is so lucky! She picked up something so valuable. Didn't you ask her where she found it? Let's go pick it up some too."
"She found it on the beach. Not all amber is valuable, but the one she found happened to be of high quality. Mom, my father-in-law's cousin will drive over tonight to pick up the money. I'll give the cash to Xiaoxuan first."
"Okay. I'll add a thousand dollars. Don't tell your brother and sister-in-law about this."
"Know."
About ten minutes later, Mu Chenze and Chu Feng returned home together.
Mu Chenze secretly gave Chu Xuan ten thousand yuan.
Chu Xuan confirmed in a low voice, "Does our mother know?"
Mu Chenze whispered, "I know. She agreed, but she didn't tell anyone else."
"good."
Mu Chenze did not stay because he had to go to the dock to purchase goods in the early morning and then deliver them to the city.
Around ten o'clock in the evening, someone knocked on the gate of Chu Xuan's house.
Chu Xuan went to open the door.
When I saw who was coming, I immediately understood.
She had seen this man before. He was the elegant man who came to her house to ask for water.
"Hello, uncle! Come in and sit down."
Huang Linlang said apologetically as he walked towards the main hall, "I apologize for not revealing my identity when we met last time."
Chu Xuan smiled, "I understand. Thank you for speaking well of Xiao Feng and me! Otherwise, grandma wouldn't have accepted us so quickly."
Huang Linlang sighed, thinking, what's the point of recognizing your relatives? Without the Wu family's influence, you still have to pay for the subsidy.
Because of his cousin's advance warning, he didn't say it out loud, for fear that his cousin's wife would hear it.
If my cousin's wife knew that the Wu family had just recognized her as a relative and asked Xiao Xuan to raise so much money, she would not be able to bear it.
He said cryptically, "Xiao Xuan, we are helping each other. How about taking a look at that piece of amber first?"
