After all, besides her father's distinguished military achievements and her mother's financial independence, she also has a father who is a military leader.
The uncles and elders in the family, as well as the younger generation of the Huo family, are all capable individuals who can stand on their own.
Not to mention that there were also his grandparents, in-laws, and third uncle sitting behind him.
It can be said that it has a wide reach across five sectors: the underworld, the legitimate world, the military, the government, and the business world!
However, Jiang Si was somewhat puzzled.
"Third Uncle, didn't you already stuff a lot of things into my bag before I went to Qiongzhou Island? And the two cartloads of stuff we bought today must have cost a lot of money too. Where did you get so much money?"
Third Uncle thought to himself, "This is nothing!"
Despite the chaos of the past, the saying "antiques in prosperous times, gold in chaotic times" is no joke.
"What I gave you before was what I saved up during the first half of my life when I was involved in organized crime."
"Later, your grandfather sensed something was wrong and stopped me."
"After that, I followed him in doing legitimate business for more than ten years. Rest assured, all this money is clean."
"After I sell the houses I have, I should still have some left, but the houses in the eastern suburbs aren't worth much anyway."
"...Eastern suburbs?"
Jiang Si looked shocked. Wasn't that Pudong in later generations, where a square meter could cost hundreds of thousands of yuan?
"Third Uncle, you sold the house in the eastern suburbs?"
"Not yet, they're not selling well."
Uncle San sighed, "They originally bought shops to do business at the docks, but later they were not allowed to do private business, so they were converted into public housing."
Unlike Beijing, in Shanghai, the trend is still to exchange houses privately.
However, getting around the eastern suburbs relies entirely on ferries, so not many people are willing to move to that area.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be the joke: "I'd rather have a bed in the city than a house in the eastern suburbs."
Upon hearing that it hadn't sold, Jiang Si was relieved.
"Third Uncle, don't sell those houses in the eastern suburbs yet. Find a few people to rent them out under your names later."
The third uncle didn't have any objections. Anyway, it was all left to the little girl, and how she dealt with it was her business.
"The property deed is still in Shanghai. I'll give it to you when I get back."
After finishing his sentence, Third Uncle added a special reminder.
"Keep the passbook safe and don't tell anyone."
"Men turn bad when they get rich. You need to keep all these things under your own control, understand?"
Jiang Si nodded; she knew that her third uncle was afraid.
He was afraid of following in his mother's footsteps.
"By the way, young Huo must have amassed quite a fortune over the years. Has he handed it all over?"
“He gave it to me; he gave it all to me the very night I arrived on the island.”
After saying that, Jiang Si told her third uncle the amount on the savings account.
"So many?" Third Uncle was extremely surprised.
I never expected that this kid would have quietly saved up almost 60,000 yuan during his ten years in the army!
Fortunately, he gave quite a lot, otherwise he would have been outdone by this kid.
After looking at the savings book given to her by her third uncle, Jiang Si subconsciously swallowed.
One, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand... This is too much!
[Something urgent came up at home, but I'll update as usual tomorrow. Speaking of which, why did I write only one chapter today? It felt like I was skipping class back in my school days—panicked, anxious, and very uneasy.]
