"Big cousin, are you serious?"
"How could it be fake!"
Lin Zhiming nodded and explained.
“Our place isn’t very big. It won’t be long before news of what happened today reaches the town.”
"The banks don't have the money to exchange them right now. Everyone has some treasury bonds. If they knew that someone was coming to exchange treasury bonds, they would rush here like crazy."
"Tell me, if too many people come and you're surrounded by people exchanging treasury bonds, will you still be able to eat?"
These words were spoken.
Certain images automatically flashed through their minds, and they couldn't help but shudder.
Chen Dong was speechless for a moment.
He never imagined that he would be bothered by counting money.
If we have a money counting machine in a few years, he could count not only 500,000, but even 5 million in a short time.
But now.
Not only were there no money counting machines, but even 100-yuan banknotes were not yet in circulation.
How could he not be distressed?
In the absence of a money counting machine and large denominations of currency.
500,000 yuan is equivalent to 50,000 large banknotes.
It would take more than an hour for one person to count them from beginning to end.
"Pack your things, let's go!"
Chen Dong made the final decision, gave instructions to the group, and then looked at Lin Zhiming with a smile.
"Big cousin, thank you for reminding me."
"We're all family, being too polite will only make us feel distant."
He then shouted loudly at Lin Zhiyuan.
"Zhiyuan, let's get off at the same spot. Once you're done packing, come over here quickly. I'll go start the truck."
"Okay, big cousin!"
Lin Zhiyuan responded, and the group quickly packed their things.
A dozen minutes later.
The truck was parked in front of a newly built red brick house.
"arrive!"
Lin Zhiming jumped out of the driver's seat and smiled at Lin Zhiyuan.
"You didn't come back for Chinese New Year this year, and you missed my housewarming celebration. You'll have to punish yourself with three drinks later."
"Big cousin, let's skip the drinking, we need to get back."
Lin Zhiyuan quickly waved his hand to refuse, and then changed the subject to the house, asking...
"Big cousin, this wasn't here when I came back two years ago. Is it newly built?"
Why hasn't the exterior wall been painted?
Lin Zhiming nodded and offered an explanation.
"It was completed before the Lunar New Year, and we moved in just in time for the holiday. During the Lunar New Year, a new house needs to have some human presence."
"Alright, let's go inside and talk. I'll have your sister-in-law make you some ginger tea to warm you up."
Led by Lin Zhiming, the group entered the house.
The moment I stepped inside, the atmosphere changed.
In stark contrast to the freezing weather outside, the house was warm and cozy, and decorated in a very welcoming manner.
"Marina, I've brought my cousins back. Let's make some ginger tea for them to warm them up and ward off the cold."
"OK!"
A response came from the kitchen; the voice didn't sound Chinese.
Lin Zhiyuan looked at Lin Zhiming with surprise and asked.
"Big cousin, are you from Russia?"
Lin Zhiming nodded and offered his reminder.
"Your uncle hasn't given his approval yet, so don't say anything out of line later."
Chen Dong heard the brothers' conversation clearly.
The place Lin Zhiming was referring to must be where he found a foreign wife.
However, their relationship has not yet been approved by their families.
After saying that.
Lin Zhiming looked at Chen Dong and the others and said with a smile.
"The house isn't ready yet, please excuse the mess. Please have a seat, I'll go check if the ginger tea is ready."
After Lin Zhiming left, Lin Zhiyuan explained with a smile.
“The weather here is cold, unlike in the south. You all sweated just now. The ginger and brown sugar water is ready. Everyone should drink some, otherwise you will definitely catch a cold.”
"Um!"
A while later.
Marina came out of the kitchen carrying a pot of boiled ginger tea.
"Welcome everyone, I'm Marina."
Speaks relatively fluent Mandarin.
Jiang Fei and his companions were dumbfounded.
Wow!
Marina is a classic Western beauty, with blonde hair, blue eyes, striking features, long legs, and a slender waist... giving her an exotic and captivating beauty.
This is completely different from the overweight middle-aged woman Lin Zhiyuan mentioned.
However, I've heard from Lin Zhiyuan that Western beauties look completely different before and after having children, and I've also heard about it from other sources.
But the group still looked at Lin Zhiyuan with some skepticism.
"Cough cough!"
Lin Zhiyuan felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by the group, so he coughed and quickly greeted Marina.
"Hello, sister-in-law. I am Lin Zhiyuan, Lin Zhiming's cousin."
"These are Chen Dong, Hua Zi, Jiang Fei..."
"Hello, sister-in-law!"
Lin Zhiyuan is Chen Dong's brother-in-law, so he naturally calls him "elder cousin's wife" as well.
What does "elder cousin's wife" mean?
Lin Zhiming came out of the kitchen with several enamel bowls and whispered softly in her ear.
"Calling you 'elder cousin's wife' means I consider you my wife."
Upon hearing this, Marina grinned, her face beaming with delight.
From then on, their attitude towards the group became even more enthusiastic.
Seeing his cousin and his wife so loving, Lin Zhiyuan was genuinely happy for them.
During the meal, Lin Zhiming recounted how he met Marina and the amusing stories that happened between middlemen in border trade.
Lin Zhiyuan, after all, lived in X City and had never experienced these things.
On the contrary, the anecdotes about scalpers told by Lin Zhiming are more authentic and vivid.
