Chapter 294 She Knows Them Well Enough
August has arrived.
When Shen Xuewei logged into her stock account and saw that the stocks she held had fallen for two consecutive days, and the entire stock market was a sea of red, she realized that this bull market was about to end.
She sold most of her stocks, leaving only one-fifth in her possession, intending to observe the situation further.
In the following days, the stock market was in a dismal state, with almost all sectors showing a negative outlook.
This time, Shen Xuewei sold the remaining stocks and secured all her profits.
This time, the funds she had have increased by about 2.5 times from nearly 40 million, and she is about to reach 100 million.
Looking at the money in her account, Shen Xuewei's fingertips trembled slightly with excitement.
This is way more profitable than writing any novel...
She suppressed her excitement and transferred most of the money in the account to several cards under her own name, leaving only about 30 million in the account.
The stock market is expected to fluctuate for some time to come.
When the price drops, she will then enter the market and buy some stocks she likes, such as Kweichow Moutai, brokerage stocks, and technology stocks.
After experiencing it firsthand, she roughly understands why people who speculate in stocks become more and more addicted, even willing to sell their houses and cars to speculate in stocks.
After Shen Xuewei tried it, she felt... it was indeed very addictive.
If others knew that she turned less than three million yuan into nearly one hundred million yuan in just three or four years, they would probably exclaim that she is a stock market genius.
Fortunately, she was reborn and had paid attention to some stock market information in her previous life.
Much of her memory had faded, but in the period immediately after her rebirth, she wrote down everything she remembered in her notebook, without any regard for the details.
Even if the memories from the previous life are wrong, it won't be too far off, at least it can guarantee that you won't lose money.
This gave her some confidence to invest in stocks and dare to put money into the market.
Throughout August, she worked hard to accumulate manuscripts in the county. Chen Fanglan would take her for drives when she had free time, and they would occasionally meet up with classmates.
As August drew to a close, Wu Yuhong returned from her work trip and arranged to meet Shen Xuewei at the train station.
The two of them got on the bus back to Xiaoli Village together, sat in the same row, and chattered away.
Shen Xuewei handed over her admission letter.
"Here you go, keep it safe. Congratulations on getting into university."
Wu Yuhong excitedly accepted it, but couldn't bear to open it in the car, instead carefully putting it in her bag.
"Congratulations! I heard you're going to study in Shanghai?"
Shen Xuewei nodded, "Yes."
Shanghai, what an exciting city to look forward to, full of charm, vitality, and opportunities.
Why would you want to go to such a far place?
Wu Yuhong tilted her head and looked at Shen Xuewei with a puzzled expression.
Shen Xuewei chuckled softly, "Distance is not a problem; what I need are more opportunities and a wider world."
Wu Yuhong seemed to understand, yet also seemed not to quite understand.
However, having known Shen Xuewei for so many years, she knew that Shen Xuewei always had her own ideas and was a very capable person.
Recalling what her parents had said to her on the phone, Wu Yuhong's tone carried a hint of sympathy.
“I heard from my mom that Uncle Chen is very angry about your college application choices…”
Shen Xuewei sighed and nodded, "Yes, he was very angry."
So, ever since that argument, she hasn't been to Xiaoli Village for the entire holiday.
This was both to calm Grandpa Chen down and to give him time to vent his anger.
She believed that this much time would be enough for her grandfather to think things through.
The two got off the bus at Xiaoli Village. After waving goodbye to Shen Xuewei, Wu Yuhong hurried home.
She wanted to show her parents her university acceptance letter and make them proud of her.
Shen Xuewei stood by the roadside for a few minutes before walking towards the Chen family's house.
When they arrived at the Chen family's door, Chen's maternal grandfather and Xi's maternal grandmother were standing there.
When Grandma Xi saw Shen Xuewei appear at the intersection, she quickly went to greet her.
"Weiwei, you're back! How about having lunch at home? Grandma will kill a chicken for you."
Her expression was earnest, as if she was afraid that Shen Xuewei would refuse.
Shen Xuewei noticed her expectant look and smiled in response.
"Okay, Grandma, I want to eat chicken drumsticks."
"Hey, Grandma's making this for you, I'll save both chicken drumsticks for you!"
Grandma Xi said happily.
It had been a long time since Shen Xuewei had acted so affectionately towards her, and at this moment, Grandma Xi's heart softened completely.
Knowing that Shen Xuewei was afraid of Chen Fangqiu, she quickly said:
"Stay home for a few more days. Your uncle hasn't come back these past few days, so don't be afraid of her."
Shen Xuewei gently shook her head, "No, Grandma, I'm about to start school. I came back to see you and Grandpa, but I'll be going to Shanghai soon."
"Ah... school starts so soon..." Grandma Xi murmured, startled.
The two walked to the door, where Shen Xuewei stood and greeted Grandpa Chen, who was sitting by the door, with a smile.
"Grandpa."
Grandpa Chen paused for a moment, then replied in a deep voice, "Yes, you're back?"
This response brought a sigh of relief to both Shen Xuewei and Grandma Xi.
A response signifies that the relationship between the two parties has eased.
"Yes, I've come back to see you and Grandma."
As Shen Xuewei spoke, she walked into the house and placed the things she had brought on the table.
She took out a pack of cigarettes and handed it to Grandpa Chen.
"I heard from my second uncle that you like this brand of cigarettes, and I happened to see it in the store, so I bought you a carton."
These cigarettes aren't expensive; a carton costs less than three hundred yuan.
Grandpa Chen had money and could afford it, but he was always reluctant to buy it. Basically, Chen Fangyang would buy it for him before he would smoke it.
Grandpa Chen took the pack of cigarettes, his expression softening slightly.
"You're so thoughtful."
Just as Shen Xuewei had guessed, he didn't want things to stay this way with her.
As the most promising young person, Shen Xuewei is someone I've watched grow up, and it's hard for me to let go of this bond.
Of course, he didn't want to give it up either.
If you break up with your child when they are about to become successful, people will laugh at you.
Shen Xuewei offered him a way out, so he readily accepted.
He got up and went to the chicken coop to catch a chicken.
Shen Xuewei watched his retreating figure and let out a long sigh of relief.
They don't know her well enough.
However, after so many years together, she knows them well enough.
Hearing the commotion coming from the chicken coop, along with Grandpa Chen's cursing, Shen Xuewei went over to help catch the chickens.
Grandma Xi went to the vegetable garden to pick some vegetables, then came back to cook. She started boiling water and threw the chicken that Grandpa Chen had killed into the boiling water to scald it.
After everything was ready and the food was served, Grandpa Chen went back to his room to take out the liquor he had hidden away.
He only drinks when he's in a good mood.
Shen Xuewei served the elderly couple their meal and sat down happily.
Before they could even pick up their chopsticks, a stranger, drawn by the aroma, arrived with two children.
"Uncle, Aunt, I heard Weiwei is back? I brought the two kids to see you. Hope I haven't bothered you?"
She was already standing inside the Chen family's house when she said this.
The two children, the older one staring longingly at the plate of chicken on the table, and the younger one clinging to her leg, looking timidly at Shen Xuewei and the other two.
Lu Qingqing would also come to talk to Grandma Xi on ordinary days.
The elderly couple are now being threatened again by Chen Fangyang and Chen Fanglan, and have only managed to cultivate two acres of land and a vegetable garden to keep themselves active.
I'm usually bored at home, so I was very happy to welcome Lu Qingqing.
But this time...Grandma Xi's smile faded.
