It was Xiaofeng's crying when she fell that brought Ma Lili back to her senses. She could no longer care about the child and said, "Brother, let Jiaxin come back! This much money is enough for her to use for the rest of her life. There's no need to take risks."

Lu Jiaguang shook his head and said, "I also advised her, but this girl wouldn't listen. Forget it, this money is like picked up, let her give it a try, maybe she can really make some money!"

Ma Lili was not optimistic: "How can this business be so easy? My colleague's husband also tried to do business and took the family savings to Yangcheng to buy a batch of clothes, but they were robbed on the way."

After saying this, she realized that she had made a mistake. If Jiaxin really got good goods, she could use her big brother's connections to get a train car to transport the goods back. She wouldn't have to worry about being caught speculating, nor would she have to worry about the goods being stolen. No matter how fierce those road bullies were, they wouldn't dare to rob a train, not to mention that the country was now rectifying public security, and it was much safer outside.

Having said what needed to be said, Lu Jiaguang stopped trying to persuade her: "Sister-in-law, wait until Jiajie comes back and discuss it with her."

When Lu Jiaguang returned home, Wang Xiaojie was eating with the children. Hearing that he hadn't eaten, Wang Xiaojie went into the house and took out the bowls and chopsticks: "Why did you come back now?"

"I went to Guangming Road."

When Lu Zhenzhen heard this, she looked at him eagerly: "Dad, when will my aunt come back? I miss her so much."

I thought my aunt would be back soon after returning to her hometown, but she went to Pengcheng again and hasn't come back for more than a month. Pengcheng, her classmates said there are many delicious and fun things there, and there are also foreigners with red hair and long noses.

Lu Jiaguang smiled and said, "Not so fast. Your aunt won't be back until the end of the year."

Wang Xiaojie looked at him in surprise, but the children didn't ask any further questions. After dinner, when Lu Jiaguang went into the kitchen to wash the dishes, she asked what was going on.

Lu Jiaguang briefly recounted the incident: "I didn't expect the painting she found was an authentic one, and she sold it for such a high price. Since she wants to do business, let her do it. Even if she loses money, she can concentrate on her studies."

Wang Xiaojie opened her mouth in shock, and after a while she said, "Is this true?"

"Jia Xin said that the ancient painting was sold to Nie Zhan, the grandson of Nie Shiheng, a wealthy businessman in Hong Kong. I asked someone this afternoon to find out that the Nie family is discussing a big project with the government, and Nie Zhan came as a representative to negotiate. What this girl said should be true." Lu Jiaguang said. He was also afraid that the other party might not be kind, so he asked someone to find out, and he was relieved when the news was correct.

Wang Xiaojie sighed: "This young master from a wealthy family really doesn't take money seriously."

One hundred thousand yuan, they could never earn that much money in their lifetime, but they bought a painting without blinking an eye. Well, a painting that cannot be eaten or drunk.

Lu Jiaguang laughed: "This rich young master is smarter than us. He spent such a large sum of money to buy the painting, which proves that the painting is worth the price."

Wang Xiaojie didn't dwell on this. She just thought Lu Jiaxin was so lucky. She went to the ancient capital to visit an antique market and ended up buying a real painting at such a high price.

Lu Jiaguang didn't think so. She said, "It's not just luck. Third Aunt must have taught her how to identify antiques."

Wang Xiaojie was surprised: "You mean Auntie San can identify antiques? Why haven't I heard of it?"

Lu Jiaguang explained, "Third Aunt's maternal family was once the richest, but her grandfather was tricked into becoming addicted to drugs, which not only sucked up all the family property, but also sold his wife and children. Third Aunt's mother went through many twists and turns and finally married her father by mistake. Third Aunt never went to school but knows a lot of words, all from her mother's teaching."

Lu Jiaguang sighed and said, "My third uncle told me this when he was drunk. He also muttered that my third aunt secretly collected a lot of old things. We had several arguments about this. I can tell you that I had to worry about the situation at that time."

He respected Ding Xiaoxia very much and was worried that something might happen to her, so he tried to persuade her. However, Ding Xiaoxia said that she didn't deliberately collect old items, but she came across them a few times by accident and liked them so much that she couldn't help but collect them.

Wang Xiaojie thought of what Lu Jiaxin had said before, and asked worriedly, "Are the things that Third Aunt collected in Third Uncle's hands? Then we have to let him give them to Jiaxin. They can't fall into Ding Jing's hands, otherwise Third Aunt won't be able to rest in peace in her grave."

Lu Jiaguang shook his head and said, "I also thought that the things were in Uncle San's hands before, but Aunt San didn't tell him about buying a house for Jia Xin, which shows that she doesn't trust him. These things should not be in his hands."

"Then it's in Madam Xie's hands?"

Lu Jiaguang shook his head and said, "No. I have already asked Madam Xie to take care of Jiaxin. It is impossible for me to leave my belongings with her for safekeeping. That does not suit Third Aunt's personality."

Putting all your eggs in one basket is too risky.

Wang Xiaojie sighed: "It would be great if nothing happened to Aunt San!"

Auntie San is not only smart but also generous and considerate. When she was around, the whole family was harmonious and happy. But now, she is not willing to take the children to eat there.

Lu Jiaguang was also a little sad. But his sister had grown up now, and he no longer had to worry about being bullied by that evil woman.

At 10 o'clock in the evening, Lu Jiajie returned home. He was a little drunk, but he sobered up instantly when he heard that Lu Jiaxin's ancient paintings were sold at a sky-high price and wanted him to go to Yangcheng to help.

Ma Lili was still struggling. She wanted Lu Jiajie to go out and explore the world, but she was also afraid that he would become wild and something bad would happen after he went out.

Lu Jiajie didn't even think about it and said, "Five hundred a month, that's fifteen hundred for three months. Wife, don't look for a house yet, wait until I come back from Yangcheng. Then we can buy a house in a good location and with a good school. If the money is not enough, we can borrow some from Jiaxin."

They didn't ask before because Jiaxin's money was the dowry left to her by her third aunt, and An couldn't touch it. My sister earned her own money, so there was no such concern.

Ma Lili said: "If Jiaxin loses money, it will be difficult for us to ask for the money."

Lu Jiajie thought she was overthinking it: "Don't worry about it. Jiaxin has promised, so she will give it to us even if we don't want it. Don't worry about it. It's just a one-year unpaid leave, not resignation. I can earn 1,500 yuan in three months, and anything else I do is better than working. I will go back to work after a year, so it won't delay anything."

Ma Lili did not stop him, mainly because Jiaxin offered too much and she was reluctant to refuse: "Isn't Jiaxin's job only until the end of the year? It's just over three months, you can take a six-month unpaid leave. When we can make money, we can extend the time to do other things. If that doesn't work, you can go back to work."

Lu Jiajie said with a smile on his face: "I'll listen to you."
