Chapter 222 Investment
Shen Ming always followed his brother's lead. Whatever his brother said, he did. If his brother suggested investing, he would do it without hesitation. When Grandpa Shen learned about the two brothers' ideas, he nodded in approval and said, "Do a good job. If you need Grandpa's help, just say so. If you need to pull any strings, I'll take care of it."
Jinran secretly gave Shen Cong more than a dozen gold bars, as well as ginseng and other things that could be quickly converted into cash and were also easy to collect.
"Don't ask me why I have it. Just use it. You don't need to tell anyone that you're using my money. I'll pretend I don't know. If you still don't have enough money later, I'll give you more. I have more."
Shen Cong asked uneasily, "Did you do something bad?"
Jinran shook her head and said, "No, it's all unclaimed property. I buried it in the vegetable garden of our old house. You can use it."
After saying that, Jinran walked away gracefully.
Shen Cong's heart remained unsettled for a long time.
The two brothers began writing business plans day and night, investigating what projects could be developed in nearby villages, and what local specialties each place had.
Jinran was busy helping Dahong and had already put the matter out of her mind. She had called Gu Siyan earlier.
Gu Siyan complained incessantly like a resentful husband, while Jinran listened with nods and groans, offering a few perfunctory replies before turning to talk to Gu's mother and grandmother.
"Grandma, Mom, I miss you so much! I'll be back in a few days. I brought you big pine nuts, chestnuts, and some local specialties..."
Jinran used her charm to make Grandma Gu and Gu's mother smile. After chatting with the twins for a while, Jinran hung up the phone.
Gu Siyan asked incredulously, "She really hung up? She didn't seem to care about talking to me at all?"
Mrs. Gu shook her head. "No, it was hung up very neatly."
Gu Siyan knew it; Nini only married him because she valued his family.
What a painful realization.
It wasn't until Da Hong's wedding that Jin Ran saw Da Hong's fiancé. Although he wasn't particularly handsome, he seemed like a very gentle man and respected Da Hong a lot, which was good.
While waiting for dinner, Jinran saw Da Hong's wonderful mother-in-law again. She seemed like a very strong person, but whenever Da Hong was mentioned, her eyes would light up with smiles, clearly very satisfied.
Later, Jinran learned that Dahong's mother-in-law was the dean of students at their school. She had taken a liking to Dahong first, but she was disappointed to find that he already had a boyfriend. Then she discovered that Dahong's boyfriend was her own son. Could there be anything more surprising than that? So, Dahong's mother-in-law treated Dahong even better.
Da Hong is a bit dim-witted, always laughing and joking, never fighting or grabbing anything, which makes her mother-in-law even more fond of her.
Da Hong will surely have a very happy life.
After attending the wedding, they were supposed to go home, but unexpectedly, Grandpa Shen and Grandma Shen wanted to stay in their hometown for a while. Fortunately, Shen Cong and Shen Ming weren't leaving. They would travel together later.
Jinran could drive, so in the end, Jinran had no choice but to take Shen's father and Wang Cuifen with her, and the three of them returned to Beijing.
Wang Cuifen instructed Shen Cong, "When you have time, tidy up the house in the county. If you need money, just sell it. I've given you all the documents. Also, visit your maternal grandmother's house more often."
They visited Grandma's house last time, and Grandma was in good health. Jinran secretly gave everyone some seawater to drink. May all our relatives live to be a hundred years old.
On the way back, Jinran drove very fast. She realized now that she really missed her little husband.
I'm so eager to go home!
