"Okay, I know, Mother."
Fu Wan obediently agreed, "Don't worry, I know what's important."
"Hehe, I actually benefited from the bet back then. If I lost, I would at most call him grandpa a couple of times. If I really lost, I wouldn't care if he did call me grandpa."
"What, you're calling me grandpa?"
Ye Xiaocui was stunned when she heard this. "So if you win, you get a speedboat?"
"Yeah, I didn't have anything to bet with him. It's just a name. I bet anyway, and they were the ones who wanted to bet first. I just couldn't resist because the speedboat looked so new and beautiful."
"Oh my, is the person who made that bet an idiot? Making a bet like that?"
Holding her rice bowl, Ye Xiaocui sighed. She didn't understand. Was this how betting was done outside these days?
Fu Wan nodded in deep agreement.
"You bet he is, he's a complete idiot."
If this were Ye Xiaocui, He Guoli would not only be a fool but also a spendthrift. People like him need to be taught a lesson.
Unfortunately, in He Guoli's eyes, a speedboat might just be a cheap toy worth a few dollars, less valuable than Fu Wan calling him "Grandpa".
But that was before. Once He Guozhong cuts off his financial resources, this young master will probably realize how expensive daily necessities are.
Thinking of this, Fu Wan raised her eyebrows and took a big gulp of chicken soup.
Who cares? These family feuds are no longer her concern. After resting at home, she's going to go out to sea for some fun.
Last time she went out to sea in the port city, she only fished; she didn't even get to go into the water to hunt fish!
With the weather getting colder and colder, if we don't go out to sea now, we'll probably have to wait until next year.
Because Fu Wan came back, Boss Fu found another excuse to have a couple of drinks. Sigh, I have to say, this wine is only good when the family is home!
A few days ago, Fu Wan wasn't home, and Fu San invited him out for drinks. He was worried that Fu Wan hadn't called home after going to Gangcheng, and that the alcohol tasted worse than plain water.
However, Fu San served authentic Wuliangye liquor, so it shouldn't be that it tasted bad.
Today, Boss Fu was drinking his own homemade rice wine, which tasted much better than the Wuliangye he had the night before.
After lunch, Fu Wan picked up her clothes and prepared to take a shower.
As she took off her coat, she inadvertently touched something hard in the inside pocket, and then she remembered that she had forgotten something.
"Mother, mother!"
"Hey! What's wrong?"
Ye Xiaocui was helping Fu Wan fetch water when she heard the noise and quickly put down what she was doing and went inside.
"What's wrong? Can't you find your clothes?"
As Ye Xiaocui walked in, she asked questions. Just as she entered the room, she saw Fu Wan mysteriously taking something out of her clothes.
"Hehe, Mom, look what this is!"
"My goodness, where did you get this gold bracelet?"
It's no exaggeration to say that the bracelet's dazzling golden light almost blinded Ye Xiaocui.
Fu Wan smiled smugly, picked up the bracelet, and slipped it onto Ye Xiaocui's hand.
"I bought this for you in Hong Kong. What do you think? Does it look good?"
This gold bracelet is a classic old-fashioned push-pull design, engraved with elegant and luxurious peony flowers.
Fu Wan effortlessly put the bracelet on Ye Xiaocui's wrist. Ye Xiaocui belatedly touched the gold bracelet on her hand, still muttering to herself as always.
"Oh dear, you're wasting money again. We're just going to Hong Kong on business, why did you suddenly decide to buy this?"
"Haha, I just happened to see it while I was strolling down the street. I knew you'd like it the moment I saw it. What do you think? Do you like it?"
Ye Xiaocui touched the exquisite patterns on the bracelet and couldn't bring herself to say she didn't like it.
"I like it, it's beautiful. It must have cost a lot of money, right?"
Fu Wan shook her head, "What's money? What's the price of a bracelet? Mother, I made quite a bit of money on this trip!"
Ye Xiaocui was delighted to hear this.
What woman doesn't like gold jewelry? Let alone gold, even a piece of silver jewelry can make her happy for a long time.
Unfortunately, the gold bracelet's color was too conspicuous, and it wasn't appropriate to wear it openly these days. She could only admire it from a distance at home; if she wore it out, people would surely gossip about it.
Even just looking at things at home makes Ye Xiaocui very happy.
"Ah Wan, is this really for me?"
Fu Wan was both amused and exasperated upon hearing this. "Yes, it's for you. You're my only mother. If I don't give it to you, who else would I give it to?"
Mom, I'm telling you, I'll buy you this bracelet. I also got a necklace from my sister-in-law.
Lingling and Mingzhu also have some; I'll give them to them when they get back.
Only after hearing that there were even children included did Ye Xiaocui feel at ease accepting the gift.
He immediately figured out where to hide it.
“Awan, Lingling and Mingzhu are still young. You can just show them to them. If they really want to wear it, you have to wait until they are older.”
"Okay, I understand."
Fu Wan nodded in agreement. She bought more jewelry for Fu Ling, after all, she was her own daughter. Gold locks, gold bracelets, gold necklaces, gold earrings, she gave her all the things that she hadn't been given when she was little.
Qin Mingzhu's necklace was a bit smaller, so Fu Wan bought the same gold necklace as Fu Ling's, with a very pretty heart-shaped pendant. Fu Wan thought they would like it.
These items weighed a total of 200 grams, and Fu Wan still had to use the quotas of four people to get through smoothly. She originally wanted to buy some other things, after all, she never thought she could have too much gold.
It's a pity there are customs regulations, but it's not a big problem. She can still exchange the gold bars and bricks she's hiding for gold later.
Thinking this through, Fu Wan took water to the bathroom and washed herself from head to toe. After washing, she went back to her residence and took a nap.
Although she had stayed in luxury hotels in Guangzhou and Hong Kong the previous two days, Fu Wan still felt more comfortable lying at home.
She didn't dream at all that afternoon, and when she woke up, it was almost time to pick up her child.
Fu Wan missed her daughters quite a bit after not seeing them for a week.
After putting on her clothes and going downstairs, Wangcai and Dahuang rushed forward and circled around Fu Wan.
Dogs have feelings too. When Fu Wan came back in the afternoon, Wangcai was so excited that he wanted to pounce on her. Dahuang was more rational, but he still kept circling around Fu Wan.
But she was very sleepy back then, so now she finally has a chance to pet the dog's head a couple of times.
"Wangcai and Dahuang, I'm going to pick up the kids from school, are you coming too?"
"Woof! Woof!"
Fu Wan didn't know whether to go or not. Wangcai was going through its molting period, and when she gently touched it, her hand was covered in fur.
"Oh dear, you're shedding so much fur! I'll feed you some jerky to help you recover!"
Fu Wan felt sorry for him and turned around to give him two more handfuls of dried meat.
Yes, this is jerky made from wild boar meat by Ye Jianguo, which Fu Wan had asked her to make earlier. Although it's a bit extravagant to feed Wangcai and the others, Wangcai and Dahuang guard the house all day long, so Fu Wan thinks it's worth it to feed them.
The wild boar jerky smelled delicious, and Fu Wan gnawed on one herself. This stuff was very tough on the teeth, and it took her a lot of effort to barely manage to bite through the first piece.
Wangcai and Dahuang don't have this problem, after all, their teeth can crush bones in no time, let alone jerky.
