Chapter 698 Will you drive a Jeep? I will.
"You're the one who's lost your mind! Look at this, isn't it money?"
Wang Zhaodi took out five yuan from her pocket and proudly showed it to Fu Lao Er.
It's not that she doesn't want to hide money, it's just that many people have seen the five yuan compensation, so she can't hide it even if she wants to.
She might as well just show it to her own man and prove that her previous guess was correct.
Burning paper money for Boss Fu's mother will really bring you better luck!
Fu Lao Er was dazzled by the five yuan. He didn't even care about the stench emanating from Wang Zhaodi and immediately snatched the money from her hand.
The realistic feel of the banknotes nestled in his palm made him realize he wasn't dreaming.
Where did this money come from?
Wang Zhaodi was still complaining about not having enough money for the New Year tonight, how come she suddenly has five yuan in just a few hours?
This isn't just five yuan; it's their hope for the New Year.
Five yuan can buy six or seven jin of meat; if you buy cheaper cuts, it will weigh more than six or seven jin.
So, they have money to celebrate the New Year!
Thinking of this, Fu Lao Er's brows, which had been furrowed for some time, finally relaxed, and his gaze towards Wang Zhao Di warmed up a bit.
"Honey, tell me quickly, where did this money come from?"
Wang Zhaodi was overjoyed and immediately recounted in vivid detail what had happened when she went to the outhouse.
After listening, Fu Lao Er suddenly realized why he always smelled a foul odor of feces when he entered the kitchen. It turned out to be the smell of feces on Wang Zhaodi's clothes!
He frowned and asked, "So, what was the reason you burned paper money just now...?"
Wang Zhaodi clasped her hands together and bowed to the sky, then rolled her eyes at him.
“Didn’t you tell me to try it first last time? I thought that burning paper money shouldn’t disturb Mother, so I burned it in the stove.”
As Wang Zhaodi spoke, she thought she was being clever. The stove was full of ash, so as long as they didn't say anything, how could Old Lady Wang possibly know that she was burning paper money here?
However, Wang Zhaodi hesitated; she wanted to go for something bigger.
She burned some paper money in the stove while cooking dinner this afternoon, and five yuan came in tonight.
Following this line of reasoning, if she were to take the risk of burning offerings at Boss Fu's mother's grave, wouldn't she instantly become incredibly wealthy?
Thinking of this, Wang Zhaodi could no longer sit still, but seeing Fu Lao Er's timid appearance, she swallowed her words back.
Outsiders say that Fu Lao Er is honest, but he's actually timid and afraid of trouble. If you tell him about this, it definitely won't work.
No, she decided to do it secretly, buy the paper money first, and then tell the person when she went to burn it.
Wang Zhaodi made up her mind. The water in the pot was heated up. She was really tired after all the commotion all night. She hurriedly took the water to wipe herself down, changed into clean clothes, and then went to bed.
Fu Ming only realized he had missed the excitement the night before when he woke up the next morning. He was immediately filled with regret and casually asked about Fu Wan while eating.
"Awan, what exactly happened last night? Why did the old village chief call Dad away so early this morning?"
Fu Wan glanced at the porridge he was holding, which contained a few black pickled vegetables.
It looks just like the dung stains on Wang Zhaodi's body last night.
She shook her head and replied, "Brother, don't ask anymore. Just eat your food. I don't think you want to know what happened last night."
Putting everything else aside, even now, when she recalls that taste, she finds it hard to swallow.
Ye Xiaocui was in the same situation. She put down her bowl and glared at Fu Ming, "Even eating can't shut you up. Hurry up and eat. After you finish, go to your third uncle's place and ask him to order the fish we need for tomorrow."
Qin Anning chuckled to herself. Although she was also curious, seeing Fu Wan and Ye Xiaocui's unwilling expressions, she guessed that it was somewhat disgusting.
These past few days have flown by, and tomorrow will be the day Fu Ming and Qin Anning hold their wedding.
Fu Ming and the others were all very busy, and Fu Wan also had to go to the cannery today to distribute the employees' benefits so that everyone could go home for the New Year holiday.
Few people saw Fu Wan drive back yesterday, and the weather was gloomy at the time, so no one noticed that Fu Wan's family had an unusual Jeep.
After breakfast, Fu Wan ran to the backyard and lifted the tarpaulin. This tarpaulin was originally prepared by Boss Fu for drying grain. Last night, worried that the snow would freeze the car, he specially covered Fu Wan's car with it.
But the weather has been pretty good these past few days; not only has it not snowed, but the sun has been shining brightly.
The huge jeep was even more stylish than a sedan. When the car drove out of the yard, the neighbors who were sitting under the tree chatting and doing their work were so surprised that their jaws dropped for a long time.
"Holy crap, where did such a magnificent car come from?"
"Heavens above! It looks like Ah Wan is driving! Good heavens, Ah Wan can actually drive such a big vehicle!"
"Hey, what do you guys think this thing costs? Is it worth a thousand yuan?"
"What do you mean a thousand yuan? Even adding a zero to that wouldn't guarantee you a car. I heard from my relatives in the city that you need a company guarantee to buy a car these days. Awan doesn't have a company, so this car must be borrowed!"
Several aunties and older women were chatting enthusiastically when Fu Wan's car pulled out the door, and Fang Min came over carrying a bag.
Her eyes lit up when she saw Fu Wan's new Jeep.
"Ah Wan, I'm here!"
"Hey, get in the car!"
Fu Wan waved, signaling her to get into the passenger seat.
She's going to the cannery to distribute employee benefits today, and she also needs to go to the bank to check this year's profits. Fu Ming was supposed to go with her, but he can't get away because of his wedding tomorrow.
Fu Liang is also busy. His wedding is after the New Year, and he is currently busy re-plastering his house.
In desperation, Fu Wan suddenly remembered Fang Min. She was foolish; she had a perfectly good retired soldier by her side and hadn't even considered that Fang Min was skilled enough to take down both Fu Ming and Fu Liang at the same time.
After Fang Min got into the car, Fu Wan smiled at the auntie who was watching the commotion, and then started the car again and drove towards the county town.
"Ah Wan, did you just buy this car?"
"No, it was given to me by the organization."
Fu Wan told Fang Min the truth. Fang Min was originally a soldier and was not stupid. She had no reason to lie.
Upon hearing that it was given by the organization, Fang Min was filled with respect and immediately guessed that the mission Fu Wan had gone out to do last time was probably not simple.
Seeing her serious expression, Fu Wan couldn't help but smile.
"Don't worry, I'm back. By the way, Fang Min, can you drive?"
"A Jeep? I can drive one."
She was a veteran of war, and being diligent and eager to learn, she basically knew a little about everything.
If it weren't for the fact that she had lost sight in one eye and was worried about burdening her teammates, she could have continued to fight for the organization.
After hearing Fang Min's affirmative answer, Fu Wan's desire to keep her by her side grew stronger.
She's a veteran, she can drive a gun and a car, but she's been busy with other things lately. If we go to places like Beijing in the future, taking Fang Min with us should solve a lot of problems.
After all, these days, there are far too many motorcycle gangs committing robberies and the like.
