Chapter 47 Getting Rich
Today, Jiang Xinbai felt like she was living a year in a day. She looked at the clock on the wall from time to time, which made Sun Chaoying look at her frequently. She couldn't help but ask, "Xinbai, do you have something to do that requires you to leave early? Don't be embarrassed. If you have something to do, just go ahead."
Jiang Xinbai felt a little embarrassed, "No, it's nothing. I saw that it looked like it was going to rain, and I was worried that it would be difficult to go back later."
"What are you afraid of? If your husband doesn't come to pick you up, I will take you home." Chen Xiaomei replied with a smile. It was December, and it was very cold. Fortunately, there was no ice on the road. As long as it didn't rain, the road was still easy to walk on.
"Xiaobai, I'm here to pick you up." As he was speaking, Yang Jinsheng walked in from outside the store.
"Oh, what a coincidence. I was just talking about you, Xinbai. Your husband is really caring. Look, he came to pick you up eagerly." Chen Xiaomei joked with a smile.
"Sister Xiaomei~" Jiang Xinbai called out shyly, then looked at her husband. Seeing that his expression was natural, she thought that last night must have gone smoothly.
"Alright, alright, it's getting dark, I don't think anyone will come to eat, Xinbai, you go back first, Sister Ying and I will lock the door together."
"Yeah, you go first!"
Seeing this, Jiang Xinbai didn't refuse anymore. She picked up her backpack, wrapped her scarf around it, and went back.
The sky gradually darkened, and the pedestrians on the road were in a hurry. Jiang Xinbai pulled her scarf to cover her mouth, then turned to look at her husband and asked, "How is it? When did you come back?"
Yang Jinsheng helped his wife walk toward the path. "I just got back at about noon. I took a nap and came to pick you up. I know you have a lot of questions, but don't ask now. Walls have ears."
Hearing him say this, Jiang Xinbai could only suppress his anxiety and just wanted to get home as soon as possible.
In the evening, after everyone had finally finished their meal, Jiang Xinbai found an excuse and hid in his room.
Yang Xiumin glanced at her back in surprise, "Third sister-in-law went to bed so early today!"
"What do you know, little girl? As the month goes by, adults will naturally be more tired. Go and do your homework." Sun Erni waved her hand to send her little daughter away.
Yang Jinsheng chatted with his father for a few words, and then he pretended to be very sleepy and yawned.
Yang Fugui waved his hand and said, "Old Third, go back to sleep if you are tired. You are tired from the night shift last night. The New Year is coming to an end, and your meat processing factory will be busy."
"Okay, Dad, I'll go back first." Yang Jinsheng immediately trotted into the room.
"The third brother doesn't look sleepy. Maybe he doesn't want to listen to your nagging, hehe, don't you think so, Jinwei?" Yang Jinqiang hit his second brother Yang Jinwei with a hoe and joked with a smile.
Yang Jinwei glanced at his elder brother and said, "Brother, you seem to be in a good mood today. What's going on? Is there any good news?"
"No, no, eh, what good news could there be..." Yang Jinqiang looked a little unnatural.
In the room, Jiang Xinbai lay on the bed, staring at the door. As soon as Yang Jinsheng opened the door and came in, she immediately half sat up.
"Quick, tell me what's going on?"
"Hey, slow down." Yang Jinsheng helped his wife sit down, and then told her in detail what happened last night.
After hearing the last part, Jiang Xinbai covered his mouth and whispered, "So it was divided into twenty pieces?"
Yang Jinsheng grinned and nodded, "It's a lot, this trip is really worth it."
"How much is that worth?" Jiang Xinbai's eyes lit up and he got excited just thinking about it.
"Third brother calculated it with us yesterday, and it's a lot. You see, one large yellow croaker is ten taels, but this is all melted according to the standard of sixteen taels per catty. The current price of gold is three yuan per gram, and one croaker is three hundred and twelve and a half grams, which is nine hundred and thirty-seven and a half yuan. How much do you think twenty croakers are worth? Is it a lot?" Yang Jinsheng still wanted to laugh out loud when he said this, but was afraid of being heard by outsiders, so he could only bite the quilt to cover his mouth.
"More than nine hundred..." Jiang Xinbai counted with her fingers. Nine hundred per stick, how much would twenty of them cost? More than eighteen thousand. Oh my god, she couldn't calculate the exact amount. She only knew that it was a lot of money, a lot of money.
At this point, Jiang Xinbai suddenly thought of the gold. Why was there no gold even though they were talking about it?
So he lowered his voice and asked, "Where did you hide the big yellow croaker?"
Yang Jinsheng also recovered now, "Of course I can't take it home, I hid it with my third brother. He asked us if we wanted to exchange it, and I thought we were short of money, so I asked him to help me exchange it. After deducting the handling fee, it should be about 900 yuan!"
"That's fine. We really have nowhere to hide it. It's safer to keep it with Third Brother." Jiang Xinbai thought about what was going to happen next, and she felt that it would be better not to keep it at home.
"Also, Li Fengyue gave me a pair of gold bracelets and two gold rings. I guess they are not light either, but I put them together with the big yellow croaker."
"Good, good, well done." Jiang Xinyue really regarded Li Fengyue as her second parent at this moment. She was simply the God of Wealth!
Upstairs, Jiang Xinlan and her husband were also talking about this. They didn't dare let their family know. After all, the money was too much and everyone has selfish desires. They didn't dare to gamble.
Zhao Yitai suppressed his joy, his eyes shining, "Xiao Lan, we have money now, we will go and ask around and find you a job. We won't accept you if it's not a formal job."
"You look so beautiful that you don't even know which direction is east, west, or north." Jiang Xinlan rolled her eyes at her husband, but the upturned corners of her mouth betrayed her; she was also a little dizzy.
"Hey, you're just like me, and you're still talking about me."
"Hush, keep your voice down. I have to tell you that you must keep this to yourself and not tell anyone. Also, don't act like you have money, or you'll be exposed."
Jiang Xinlan warned Zhao Yita seriously that she was afraid her husband would accidentally let the cat out of the bag in front of his parents and brothers.
"Yeah, I definitely won't." Zhao Yita nodded repeatedly.
"Yitai, Xinlan, what are you doing in the room? Come out." Outside, Xu Fengni knocked lightly on the door.
"Oh, okay, Mom, I'll be right there." Zhao Yita responded and rubbed his face. After he adjusted his expression, he opened the door and walked out.
"Mom, where did these apples come from?" Jiang Xinlan asked curiously as she looked at the apples on the plate on the table.
"I did a favor for someone, and they gave it to me. It smells delicious. Come on, eat it, and each of you should try a piece." Xu Fengni took the lead and took a small piece of apple. She took a bite, and the sweet juice filled her entire mouth. It was really delicious.
Zhao Yita handed his portion to his wife's mouth, motioning her to eat first.
Jiang Xinlan shook her head, "I have it, you can eat it too."
Xia Ju took a bite of the apple and said with a smile: "Xinlan, look how much Yitai loves you. He gives you the food even though he is reluctant to eat it himself. But your elder brother doesn't have such a heart."
"Yeah, yes, you are right. Third brother's wife will definitely not eat Yitai's portion, but if I give it to you, you will definitely eat it." Zhao Yishan said as he bit off the toothy apple. It was so small that it was not even enough to fill the gaps between his teeth.
