When Ye Beiping returned to the hotel, he was greeted by a friendly smile from the hotel staff.
Thinking about renting a place, he approached the front desk and whispered with a smile, "Miss, I'd like to ask if there are any apartments for rent around here?"
Beauty?
Upon hearing those two words, the waiter's smile instantly brightened like the spring sunshine.
"Brother, are you looking to rent a place?"
"Yes," Ye Beiping nodded and replied with a smile.
The waiter thought for a moment, then pointed in a direction and said, "There's a residential area over there with apartments for rent, but it gets a bit chaotic at night. But buddy, you're a grown man, working for a government agency, so don't worry."
Hearing that it was rather chaotic, Ye Beiping immediately rejected the offer.
"Are there any nice, quiet apartments?"
"I see." The waiter's gaze towards Ye Beiping changed.
It's obvious they're not short of money.
Isn't this the prince charming she's dreamed of?
"Yes, there are, but they're probably quite far from here."
After all, it was 1979, there weren't many people from other places, and the demand for renting houses wasn't high; there were only a few places available for rent.
After finding out about renting a house, Ye Beiping even went to a nearby state-run store and bought two bottles of soda, giving one to the waiter.
This amused the waiter greatly, making him even more convinced that Ye Beiping was someone he could know.
Meanwhile, in the Wen'er New Village community...
After being shocked by Ye Beiping's money-making methods, Su Qingwen asked curiously after hearing about the bet with Min Yuehua, "So you're planning to buy a house in Hangzhou this time?"
You need a local household registration to buy a house in Hangzhou.
You can't buy it if you don't have a household registration.
Su Xinyi thought for a moment, then pursed her lips: "Let's rent it first. He still wants to do some small business in Beiping, and he'll need capital later."
She didn't want Ye Beiping to be too tired. If he bought a house, he wouldn't have any money left, so she wanted to postpone it.
At least you have money in your hands, so you don't feel anxious.
"Doing business?" Su Qingwen frowned and asked, "Isn't that speculation and profiteering? Hangzhou cracks down on that very strictly."
Although many people around me have thought about starting small businesses and even made money.
Having a secure job, he despised dealing with speculators and profiteers.
Su Xinyi understood the meaning behind her father's words, and lowered her head, fiddling with her fingers: "But if he doesn't do business, and he's not a Hangzhou resident, what can he do?"
Forehead……
This stumped Su Qingwen.
“Dad, he knows how to repair radios in Beiping. Why don’t you see if you can arrange for him to work in a factory? At least he’ll have a proper job.”
"this……"
Su Qingwen was dumbfounded, as if he had dug a huge hole for himself.
"Dad, please help my sister and brother-in-law." Su Xinwan shook Su Qingwen's arm, her eyes pleading.
Su Qingwen was even more at a loss, and even his youngest daughter was like this.
Ultimately, Su Xinyi had decided that Ye Beiping was her son-in-law, and she should help him as much as she could.
"Alright then." Su Qingwen patted his knee and sighed, "I'll go ask around and try my best to find him a job. Repairing radios is a skilled trade, so finding a job shouldn't be too difficult."
After saying this, he felt quite gratified, partly because his son-in-law wasn't just a freeloader; he could even fix a radio.
On the other hand, she had accepted Ye Beiping, her son-in-law, from the bottom of her heart.
He's reliable and keeps his word. Earning 5,000 yuan in half a month is no ordinary boast.
If a young man in his twenties had made this bet in front of him, he would probably have wanted to slap him across the face for being so arrogant. But Ye Beiping actually did it, which made Su Qingwen admire him.
That night, Su Xinyi and Su Xinwan went back to their room to sleep early, afraid of running into Min Yuehua and having another unpleasant argument.
Because Su Xinyi hadn't returned for three years, the two beds in this room were converted into one.
However, the bed is not small; it can comfortably accommodate two people.
"Sis, do you think Dad will find a job for your husband? Will he take it?" Su Xinwan asked curiously.
Su Xinyi stroked her belly and said confidently, "Yes, your brother-in-law isn't afraid of hard work."
She wasn't lying about that.
When Ye Beiping was in Pingba Village, he was really not afraid of being tired. Although he did farm work in a bad way, he never complained of being tired.
Seeing him drenched in sweat, Su Xinyi sometimes wondered if Ye Beiping was a machine that never needed to rest.
Now, when Su Xinyi thinks back, she realizes that she initially disliked Ye Beiping, but without realizing it, she found herself feeling sorry for him when she saw him working hard.
"sister……"
"sister……"
"sister……"
Su Xinwan called out several times, but received no reply. She turned around and nudged the other person.
"ah?"
Su Xinwan breathed a sigh of relief when she finally heard Su Xinyi respond: "You scared me! I thought something was wrong with you. I called you several times, but there was no reply."
"N-nothing." Su Xinyi's face flushed slightly. For some reason, she thought of the days she spent with Ye Beiping in Pingba Village. It was so peaceful and comfortable. Every day, apart from eating, she didn't have to think about how to survive.
Even when recalling the first night with Ye Beiping... I have absolutely no recollection of what it felt like.
Apart from some pain when I woke up the next day due to nervousness, there didn't seem to be any other unusual symptoms.
The moonlight slowly rose into the sky outside.
Min Yuehua and Su Qingwen waited and waited in the living room, but Su Ze didn't return, so they went back to their room to sleep.
This wasn't the first or second time Su Ze hadn't come home; it was already a common occurrence.
The next morning.
Su Xinyi and Su Xinwan, who went to bed early, had already gotten up and washed up.
Su Xinwan was on her way to school today when Su Xinyi called out to her, "Wait."
"What's wrong, sis?" Su Xinwan turned around, puzzled.
Su Xinyi picked up her bag from the side and said as she rummaged through it, "You didn't eat dinner, take some money and buy something to eat on the way."
"No need, I have enough." Su Xinwan said this, but she still took a step closer to her sister, wanting to see how much money was in the bag.
Before she could even see it, Su Xinyi frowned, turned the bag upside down, and rummaged through all the contents.
"Sis, what's wrong?"
Su Xinyi ignored Su Xinwan's question and kept rummaging through the bed.
"Where's the money? Where's my money?" Su Xinyi was so anxious she was almost crying.
This is the money Ye Beiping gave her, why can't she find it?
The commotion caused by Su Xinyi alerted Min Yuehua and Su Qingwen.
"What's wrong?"
"What's all the noise about so early in the morning?"
When the two entered Su Xinwan's room, they found a bed full of clothes, and Min Yuehua was about to start cursing.
But when she heard Su Xinyi's words, she was stunned.
"Where's the money? Several thousand yuan! My money is gone, what am I going to do? Waaah!" Su Xinyi cried anxiously.
