Jiang Yue and Gu Ye went to visit Uncle Lin again, bringing cans of malted milk and two pounds of pork, and also gave him a New Year's red envelope.
Uncle Lin had surgery in the provincial capital and has been recuperating for almost a month since returning home. He can now eat normally and looks much better than before.
After careful consideration, Jiang Yue and Gu Ye finally decided not to tell Uncle Lin about the small yellow croaker found in the Huanghuali table. It was not because they were stingy, but they were both worried that if money was involved, it might cause unnecessary trouble.
Since ancient times, people die for money and birds die for food. Even if Uncle Lin doesn't mind, he has a family. If his family knew that there were gold bars in the table that Jiang Yue bought from Uncle Lin, what would they think?
Will they force Uncle Lin to ask Jiang Yue to return the gold bars?
At that time, should Jiang Yue give it to him or not?
If you give, how much? No matter how much you give, it will not be appropriate because they will only think that you give too little!
Even if she said she only took thirteen small yellow croakers from the table, they would not believe her and might even think she had hidden more.
It’s not that Jiang Yue thinks too badly of people, but that’s the fact.
The human heart is the most unsatisfied!
In fact, from common sense, it was indeed Uncle Lin who sold the huanghuali table to Jiang Yue, but Jiang Yue had paid for it and the transaction was settled, so no matter what was in the huanghuali table, it had nothing to do with Uncle Lin.
It's a good thing that the small yellow croaker was taken out, but if there was a snake hidden in the table and it bit Jiang Yue, would Jiang Yue have to ask Uncle Lin for compensation?
After leaving Uncle Lin's house, Jiang Yue took Gu Ye's arm, and the two of them walked slowly along the country road towards the main road.
In those days, road construction was backward. In villages like this one, the roads were all dirt roads, and cars could not drive in and could only park on the asphalt roads.
"Gu Ye, I've thought of what to do with those gold bars!" When getting in the car, Jiang Yue pulled down her scarf, her big eyes sparkling.
"What for?" Gu Ye asked. He knew that Jiang Yue was referring to the gold bars that the Zhan family had searched out from Hao Fugui's house.
The day they left the provincial capital, the Zhan family sent them a box of gold bars, and later two more boxes. In addition to gold bars, there was also cash. The total amount was less than one million, but at least several hundred thousand.
Add to that the gifts that the Zhan family sent to them when they were in the capital, and the two more expensive supplements they sent to Jiang Yue after they knew she was pregnant. Jiang Yue is now a wealthy woman with millions in her hands!
However, Jiang Yue believed that Hao Fugui's money came from illegal sources, so she had recently been considering whether she could use the money to benefit the society.
"I want to set up a welfare school that will specifically take in orphans, from kindergarten to high school. Education and food are free!" Jiang Yue said in a deep voice.
In fact, Jiang Yue got the inspiration from Uncle Lin.
She also learned not long ago that Uncle Lin had adopted several orphans, the youngest of whom was seven or eight years old, and the oldest of whom was thirteen or fourteen years old. These children had no parents and wandered from nowhere, begging for a living. Uncle Lin felt sorry for them and let them live in the scrap yard, and these children would also go to collect scraps on weekdays.
Jiang Yue remembered that when she frequently went to the scrap station to buy books, she did see a few children coming in and out, but she didn't think too much about it at the time and just thought that these children came to the scrap station to play.
"A welfare school, we have to talk to the government about that!" Gu Ye raised his eyebrows and changed the subject, "Jiang Yue, you have to think about it carefully. If you want to run such a welfare school, you have to keep investing money in it!"
"I know!" Jiang Yue looked serious.
"Okay! After the New Year, I'll go to the Civil Affairs Bureau with you." Gu Ye's warm palm caressed Jiang Yue's cheek, which was chilled by the wind. He smiled with curved lips, "You can think about it carefully in the next few days! You won't regret it after you invest the money!"
Jiang Yue snorted. She knew Gu Ye was laughing at her for being a money-grubber.
She had been suffering from severe morning sickness recently and was feeling irritated and had no way to vent, so she asked Gu Ye to bring out the box of small yellow croakers, and she counted them one by one for fun.
Although she has a lot of liquidity now, she plans to set up a company after the Chinese New Year, and then she will open chain stores, which will require a lot of money. Running a welfare school is not a trivial matter, and Jiang Yue really needs to make a proper plan.
**
Mrs. Zhao and Wang Weiwei have been helping out in the store these days. It's already busy at the end of the year, and there have been a lot of customers these days. At the end of the day, both of them are exhausted.
Jiang Yue paid them ten yuan a day, seventy yuan for seven days. Since it was Chinese New Year, she added another thirty yuan, making a total of one hundred yuan.
Mrs. Zhao and Wang Weiwei refused to accept the money at that time and insisted that Jiang Yue take it back. Jiang Yue had to spend a lot of time persuading them to accept the big red envelope.
After returning home, Wang Weiwei clutched the red envelope with an excited look on her face, "Sister-in-law, do you think I can go back to work after the Chinese New Year?"
Mrs. Zhao was also excited. She worked hard selling roasted sweet potatoes, earning at most six or seven yuan a day. Her skin was chapped from standing in the cold wind. She had been helping out in Jiang Yue's store for the past few days, but because the store was too busy, she had not gone out to sell roasted sweet potatoes for the time being. She did not expect to earn a hundred yuan before the New Year.
This is Zhao Youcai's monthly salary, and she earned it in just seven days!
Sister Zhao was so proud at this moment.
"Don't worry, I see Jiang Yue is very satisfied with you, I'll mention it to her after the New Year!"
The two of them were walking and talking, not noticing Zhou Guihua and Wang Cui following behind them.
At this time, Zhou Guihua and Wang Cui's faces were distorted by jealousy.
"What's going on? Didn't Jiang Yue offend a big shot in the provincial capital, whose store was smashed? That big shot in the provincial capital also told her that she couldn't open a store? Why was she able to open one?" Zhou Guihua was very angry.
"Look how proud they are. They just earned a hundred yuan in seven days. It's as if everyone has a hundred yuan!" Wang Cui sneered. She couldn't stand people who showed off like this!
The corners of Zhou Guihua's mouth twitched. Her family really didn't have a hundred yuan. Last month, her parents-in-law wrote to say that they were sick, so her husband sent most of his salary back to his hometown as soon as he got it this month. Her family didn't even have money to buy any New Year's goods.
In her opinion, the story about her parents-in-law being sick was fake, and the real story was asking the eldest son for money to support the younger son!
But her husband wouldn't listen to her and threatened to use violence. Zhou Guihua has been holding this anger in her heart for a long time.
At this moment, when Zhou Guihua thought about how she had gone to Mrs. Zhao and begged her to help find Jiang Yue to introduce her to a job in a clothing store, but Mrs. Zhao still refused, she became even angrier.
Otherwise, she should have earned the hundred dollars in these seven days!
"Guihua, what are you looking at? Everyone has left!" Wang Cui saw Zhou Guihua staring straight ahead, and stretched out her hand and drew a line in front of her eyes.
"But when did Jiang Yue become so close to Wang Weiwei? She gave Zhao Lanhua a hundred yuan because they have a good relationship, and Wang Weiwei just went to help, but she actually gave her such a high salary. She's such a spendthrift!" Wang Cui scolded.
"What do you know!" Zhou Guihua couldn't bear to hear the words "one hundred yuan" now. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that she had suffered a huge loss.
"Jiang Yue is so generous. It seems that she made a lot of money after reopening her business!" Zhou Guihua narrowed her eyes, looking thoughtful.
