Li Dai was genuinely pleased to hear Yu Jiu say "Don't worry" several times. He wanted to testify for Yu Jiu, so when Li Dai and Yu Jiu came out and saw Xu Zijiang, he patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly.
"You've really found a good wife, kid. I asked for eighty, and she managed to bargain it down to fifty-five. I was getting really angry. If it weren't for how hard-working and sincere your wife is, I wouldn't have wanted to work with you anymore. The price was too low. But since we're working together, let's work together properly. You have to treat your wife well too. She's your own wife. If you drive her away by scolding her, there are plenty of other men who would want her!"
"Alright, have the money ready in the next few days. Come back here at 11 PM three days from now, and I'll give you the goods."
"become."
Xu Zijiang glanced at the hand on his shoulder, and said only one word.
Li Dai was taken aback. He thought Xu Zijiang would at least be polite to him. Fine, he withdrew his hand and went home.
He got home much later than usual. His children had already finished eating, and only his wife was waiting for him at the table. When she saw him come back, she quickly and gently greeted him.
"Why are you back so late? The children have already eaten and gone to bed."
"Would you like the food heated up?"
"Something came up and I was delayed. It's okay. It's hot, so it's fine to eat cold food. You haven't eaten either, have you? Hurry up and sit down to eat."
Li Dai grabbed her hand and pulled her back to the table, refusing to mention anything about what had happened that day.
However, he didn't bring the watches back all at once. He would bring one back on average every day and put it in the top cabinet. Although it was high up, as the lady of the house, she wouldn't have never opened that cabinet. Although it was locked, she could still get the key. Moreover, although Li Dai avoided her, he didn't completely avoid her.
In particular, when Li Dai received the money, he would give her half to keep for safekeeping. Although he told her not to ask where the money came from, she could basically guess what it was about. They both knew the truth and maintained a tacit understanding that if you didn't ask, you wouldn't tell, and they lived their lives well together.
In the following days, Li Dai became even more blatant. He already had more than forty watches stored in the cabinet, and he would bring back an average of twelve watches every three days. He would carry them back in his own bag. When he put them in the cabinet, his wife would consciously avoid him, pretending not to see, and then quietly wait for the day he would ship them out.
Meanwhile, Xu Zijiang and Yu Jiu were also busy for the past three days. They visited the supply and marketing cooperative and department store to find out the standard prices. Then they went to the black market. In addition to buying what they needed, they also bought some cigarettes, alcohol and fabrics. They would buy clothes from clothing factories to save a lot of money.
However, they had found enough goods, but in reality, the money the two of them brought was far from enough. Yu Jiu said that she brought 10,000 yuan, which was a complete lie to Li Dai. Actually, it can't be called a lie. He said 1,000 yuan, and Yu Jiu shook her head because it was indeed more than that amount. When she said 10,000 yuan, she didn't deny it, but she didn't admit it either!
The two had brought more than two thousand yuan with them, but were still short two thousand yuan. Xu Zijiang said that they could quickly buy some goods in the next few days and sell them next door to make a few hundred yuan. However, they were still short more than a thousand yuan. Xu Zijiang said that he could borrow money from a friend and have the friend send it to them.
However, Yu Jiu had her own way. She asked Xu Zijiang to give her some time and let him ship the goods first. She would figure out the rest herself.
"Are you sure? It's over a thousand yuan. Actually, I can borrow it. It's just a phone call away, very quickly. You don't need to go through all that trouble."
Xu Zijiang didn't know what Yu Jiu was going to do, and his subconscious reaction was disapproval, fearing that his wife would suffer.
However, Yu Jiu has never liked lending money, especially large sums like this. In her past life, she would never have asked Tang Xiaohuan for money if she hadn't been desperate, and she was even scammed. In this life, she is more cautious. Even if no one scams them, she thinks she should rely on herself if possible, and only consider other options if necessary.
"Give me some time. You go and take care of your business first. If I can't get that much money, I'll let you handle it then. I definitely won't make things difficult for myself. After all, I have a man. If I don't rely on my man, am I supposed to rely on someone else?"
Yu Jiu linked arms with Xu Zijiang, rested her head on his shoulder, and said matter-of-factly.
It was precisely Yu Jiu's confident and assertive attitude that put Xu Zijiang at ease. He pinched Yu Jiu's cheek and said with satisfaction.
"That's more like it!"
Xu Zijiang was completely relieved. He touched Yu Jiu's long, black hair, picked up his things, and left.
After Xu Zijiang left, Yu Jiu took out her small, broken bowl. She had figured out a pattern these days, which gave her some confidence that she could make money.
"Little broken bowl, you'd better do your best! We must secure this shipment; we can make several thousand dollars!"
Yu Jiu took out the small, broken bowl and placed it on the bed. She squatted down and reverently stroked the bowl, murmuring to herself as she did so. When she felt it was about right, she took a deep breath and counted out twenty ten-yuan bills, putting them in the bowl. The total was two hundred yuan. If ten yuan came out, she would suffer a huge loss.
But apart from the first time she tried putting money in it, she never put money in it again. Most of the time, she put in some strange and unusual things. She had a feeling that she was nurturing the little broken bowl. She felt that when she took it out this time, the little broken bowl was actually much brighter and looked a little prettier than before.
Even if it's been gathering power, this little broken bowl has almost reached its limit. She felt it could be a surprise for her!
After she put the money in, she closed her eyes, muttering to herself. Her soft red lips opened and closed repeatedly, and her porcelain-white face seemed to glow. There was a strange sense of destiny between her and the small, broken bowl on the bed that emitted a faint white light.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh".
The small, broken bowl suddenly began to vibrate, making a hissing sound. Then something seemed to spray out and hit Yu Jiu's face. It was light and carried a familiar smell of banknotes. Yu Jiu suddenly opened her eyes.
The small, broken bowl continued to emit a bright white light, its body vibrated, and ten-yuan bills kept spraying out of its mouth—one, two, three… spraying all over the bed, and it still hadn't stopped!
Yu Jiu's pupils constricted in shock, then her eyebrows curved into an excited smile, a silent smile spreading across her face. Ahhhh! Her little broken bowl was amazing! Yu Jiu had to cover her mouth to keep herself from laughing out loud; the scene was just too dreamlike and breathtaking!
Because the money was sprayed high, it spun gracefully in the air a few times before gently drifting down, making it look like a rain of banknotes falling from the sky. Whose dream is this?!
The money sprayed for more than ten minutes before stopping, and Yu Jiu, with her pert buttocks sticking out, picked up the money all over the bed and floor.
"One thousand one, one thousand two, one thousand three..."
