That evening, Ding Qiunan walked into the living room, followed by a dog.
"Li Chu, your judgment is wrong now. She's not pregnant."
"What, you went to the hospital?" Li Chu asked, putting down the book he was holding on the sofa.
"I took her pulse after I got there, but as you know, I haven't taken a pulse in a long time, so I wasn't too sure."
Ding Qiunan smiled a little embarrassedly at this point, and then continued, "Xiao'e couldn't hold back any longer, so she took Xiaojing to the emergency room at Peking Union Medical College Hospital for a checkup, and confirmed that she wasn't pregnant."
Li Chu smiled and shook his head. He really was impatient; he couldn't wait even for a whole night.
However, he was also a little confused. Had his judgment really deteriorated?
"By the way, will Dazhuang be living in the wing room in the front yard from now on?" Ding Qiunan didn't dwell on this question any further and instead asked.
"Yeah, he lives there, so what?"
"It's nothing, just remember to buy a fan for that house later, since we didn't install a ceiling fan in that room back then."
"Yes, you're right. Let's go buy a ceiling fan and install it this weekend. Think about what else the house needs and we'll buy it all at once."
"Hey, can we get a new TV? Our TV is too small, it's not comfortable to watch. The department store has 18-inch TVs now, and they're even color." Ding Qiunan moved from the single sofa to her husband's side and hugged his arm.
"Did you see that TV at Xu Damao's house?" Li Chu asked his wife, somewhat amused.
"Yes, I saw it when I went over just now. I didn't even notice it on Xu Yang's wedding day."
"Sure, go ahead and buy it if you want. Do you have TV tickets?"
"Yes, yes, I have two more, I haven't sent them out yet."
Li Chu thought for a moment and said, "Then let's buy two. Buy one for Huihui's room too. Sometimes she's too lazy to come over to watch TV, so she can watch it in her own room. As for this one, let's give it to Dazhuang."
"Mmm, thank you, darling, mua~"
Right after the kiss, Ding Qiunan's face quickly fell.
"Oh dear, this means we're going to spend a lot of money again!" The thought of the money in her savings account dwindling rapidly made her heart clench.
"Also, we'll have to pay Zhu Wen later. It'll cost quite a bit for the two courtyards. Forget it, let's not buy the TV."
"Oh well, we can just earn more money when we run out."
“You make it sound so easy. We spent most of our savings on that house back then. If we keep spending like this now, I’m worried we won’t have enough money to give Zhu Wen.”
"If you don't have enough, just borrow from your daughter-in-law and daughter. They're quite wealthy now."
"Huh?" Ding Qiunan was a little confused by her husband's words. She blinked her big eyes and looked at him, waiting for his explanation.
"Oh, do you remember the shares I gave them back then?"
"Yes, I remember!"
"We've already distributed last year's dividends to them, but they probably haven't received them yet. It should be in the next few days."
"How many could there be? I remember it was only half a year last year, right?"
"Hey, don't underestimate them. Let me tell you, after the dividends are converted into RMB, each of them will receive at least 5,000."
"What did you say?" Ding Qiunan stood up abruptly, raising her voice considerably, which attracted the dogs that were lying at the door.
“At least five thousand per person, you heard me right!” Li Chu stretched out his right hand and pointed to his wife.
"How could there be so much? That would be at least ten thousand a year!" Ding Qiunan slumped onto the sofa, somewhat lost in thought, and muttered to herself.
"So now you know why I said back then that I gave a bit too much."
"Li Chu, will it cause any problems if we keep this?"
Having too much money is a bit overwhelming. If it were her salary, she wouldn't be worried, but this money feels like it was found for free, which makes her uneasy.
"Don't worry, darling!" Li Chu reached out and pulled his wife into his arms, gently stroking her shoulder.
"Giving me those shares was decided through a collective discussion and vote, so there won't be any problems."
"But isn't that a bit too much? I used to think that getting a few hundred or a thousand a year would be amazing."
"It's not distributed every year. Sometimes, if the company has any major issues that require funds, it may not distribute dividends. It's not that much every year."
There was something else he didn't say, afraid of scaring his wife: it's true that there won't be dividends every year, but as long as there are, they will definitely increase year by year. If you wait another ten or twenty years, the dividends might reach hundreds of thousands or even millions.
Of course, the amount of money will still be surprising at that time, but it certainly won't terrify her.
After all, prices had skyrocketed many times over by then.
"Phew..." Ding Qiunan finally felt relieved after hearing her husband say that. If she received this much money every year, she really wouldn't be able to sleep at night.
but……
"So, can we buy a TV now?"
Seeing his wife's face brighten again, Li Chu smiled and nodded: "Of course we can buy it, but if we need to get money from Huihui or Yueyue, we must pay them back. We said those were for them."
"I know, I know, do you even need to tell me?" Ding Qiunan waved her hand casually, still wearing an excited smile on her face.
"Hehe! Time to get a bigger TV!"
"Qiu Nan's mom, what's that big TV?" Wang Yueyue lifted the curtain and walked in, her belly already showing. Li Wenxuan followed closely behind her.
His wife is sometimes too impulsive and often forgets that she is pregnant, making him wish he could stay by her side 24 hours a day.
"Yueyue, come and sit down. I'm planning to get a new 18-inch color TV for our house this Sunday. What do you think? Do you want to get a new one for your house too?"
“We’re not exchanging ours. We only bought them a short time ago, and besides, we don’t check them that often,” Wang Yueyue shook her head.
Then she continued, "Qiu Nan's mom, Chu's dad, the business department notified me today that I need to go over tomorrow to collect some kind of bonus. I forgot to mention it during lunch. What is it?"
"Yes, they notified me too. I was going to ask about it too." Li Wenhui walked in as well.
"Hey, what a coincidence, your dad and I were just talking about this. We were just saying we might let you know in the next couple of days. It's about the dividends from the shares of that company that was put in your names last year."
"Oh," Wang Yueyue nodded. Now that she heard that, she remembered that when Chu's father took the ID card from her, he said the same thing.

“Qiu Nan’s mother, I’ll bring it back to you tomorrow.”
"Why would I give them to you? Those shares are your dowry. Just take the money and keep it safe for yourself."
