"Baojia, come out and see!" Yu Xiaofeng shouted into the house, afraid that the neighbors living nearby wouldn't hear her.
Lin Baojia came out of the house leaning on his cane and was stunned when he saw so much money.
"You earned all of this? You didn't kill anyone or commit arson, did you?" He had never seen so much money in his entire life.
Lin Tao, like a victorious rooster waving its colorful feathers, smoothed his hair and said:
"This is nothing. Some of the bolder ones earn more than me! In Guangzhou, doing business has become commonplace, and we can't keep up with arresting all the people wearing red armbands."
Their naive and unsophisticated manner almost made Jiang Ning laugh.
Lin Chen can now sell 100,000 review materials a month. At a commission rate of four levels per book, that's 100,000.
Now, their family's savings have exceeded 500,000.
To avoid trouble from bank staff, several family members opened more than a dozen savings accounts at different savings banks, each with tens of thousands of yuan in savings.
The ten thousand yuan that Lin Tao earned was just a drop in the ocean for them.
However, they dared not tell anyone about this money. The stack of bankbooks they had were all kept by Jiang Ning for safekeeping.
Household expenses are all normal expenses; we can buy whatever we want, but we would never spend money recklessly.
After electricity was introduced to the village, it cost four cents per kilowatt-hour. Everyone tried to save money and dared not turn on the lights.
Their family doesn't need to calculate electricity usage time; they can turn it on whenever they want, as long as they don't waste electricity.
Yu Xiaofeng's flamboyance immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the village.
Seeing Lin Tao come back with so much money, everyone was both jealous and envious.
"Xiao Tao, you've earned more money than Xiao Chen just from this trip!" Shuanzi's mother couldn't help but stir things up.
Everyone knows that these two brothers don't get along now.
Lin Tao quickly grabbed a handful of candy and handed it to the man.
"I didn't really make much. Next time, I'll have Shuanzi come with me to Guangzhou to make a fortune."
"Shuanzi's gone mad now, he won't go anywhere. I wanted him to join the construction team, but he refused..."
Shuanzi's mother suddenly sighed sadly.
Several young men pushed past her, grinning broadly.
"If Shuanzi isn't going, we will! Brother Tao, take me with you next time!"
With the resumption of the college entrance examination, everyone's minds were instantly liberated, as if a floodgate had been opened.
In the past, status was everything; the poorer you were, the more glorious you were. Now everyone has figured it out. Saying "I'm poor and I'm glorious" is just lip service. Who doesn't want to live a good life and make a lot of money?
When you see others making money and living a life of luxury, aren't you envious?
Amidst envious and jealous glances, Lin Tao and his family felt rather smug.
That same day, Yu Xiaofeng went to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought back a bunch of good stuff, almost emptying the cooperative.
Upon hearing the news, Gao Qiang immediately brought Li Ying to his home for a visit. While eating the beef jerky he had brought back, Gao Qiang advised him to keep a low profile to avoid attracting unwanted attention.
Lin Tao smiled slightly and pulled a dagger from his pocket.
"I'd like to see who the hell dares to go against me. I'm a member of the underworld."
In fact, when Lin Tao first arrived in Guangzhou, his wallet was stolen as soon as he got off the train.
He lived a long and arduous life, enduring hardship and sleeping in the open. Later, he met a gang leader who risked his life with him several times. He became the gang leader's confidant, which is how he accumulated so much wealth.
To put it bluntly, he was just a henchman in the underworld.
Their usual job is to vandalize, loot, burn, and collect protection money.
In six months, he didn't learn anything else, but he did learn to be ruthless.
As he said this, he glanced at Lin Chen's house and gave a sly smile.
Money gives him confidence; he feels like he can look down on everyone else.
At least, Lin Chen didn't dare to throw a punch at him anymore.
Little did he know, Lin Chen didn't take him seriously at all; all he wanted was for the night to come quickly so he could hold his wife and sleep.
After dinner, he made arrangements to have Jiang Ning breastfeed the children so they could go to bed early.
To everyone's surprise, the two little ones became unusually energetic.
"Are you two deliberately causing trouble, my little darlings? Go to sleep now. I need to have a deep conversation with your mother after you've fallen asleep!"
Lin Chen lay down beside them and patted their backs.
Jiang Ning was applying face cream and didn't hear the word 'deeply,' so she turned to look at him:
"What kind of exchange? What are we exchanging?"
Lin Chen quickly made a 'shh' gesture. His wife's voice was so loud, wasn't she afraid that his mother would hear?
He quickly changed the subject: "Let's talk about naming the kids. They're so old, but they're still calling each other 'Big Baby' and 'Little Baby.' They need to get proper names."
They had discussed this issue several times, but had not yet reached a final decision.
Jiang Ning was also worried that if they had the same name as in their previous life, it might lead them to the same fate.
She was very careful and decided to give them the same name.
She is willing to believe that these two babies are a continuation of the lives of their previous children, and that she will protect them well and ensure their healthy growth for the rest of her life.
"Let's name Da Bao Lin Mutong and Xiao Bao Lin Mujiao," she said.
Lin Chen immediately grinned and called out to Xiao Bao, who was wearing pink:
"Jiaojiao, you are our little Jiaojiao."
Jiaojiao grinned, then yawned and fell asleep.
Lin Chen then looked at Lin Mutong, who was wearing blue, and said in a threatening tone with a stern face:
"Tongtong, why aren't you asleep yet? If you don't go to sleep soon, I'm going to beat you up."
Tongtong frowned and burst into tears.
