Chapter 72: Don’t Show Your Wealth - Back to 18, I Became Rich by Spending Money
On the way back, Wen Mingxiu told his daughter, "Don't make any noise about this matter until it's settled. Otherwise, it would be a joke if it turns out to be a misunderstanding."
Wen Yan nodded. She also knew that wealth should not be shown off and one should not be too high-profile before getting the money.
But even so, the father and daughter were still secretly excited. Although Wen Yan had a lot of money before, it was difficult to explain. But now, they can spend it openly without worrying about being exposed. It feels different from before.
"Dad, if this thing sells for a high price, why don't you persuade Mom to quit her job. Her job is too tiring. She can find something she likes to do." Wen Yan discussed with her father. She wanted to improve the family's life so that her parents could live a better life, and the first thing to do was to change her mother's job.
"Let's see what the result is tomorrow. If we can sell it for a good price, the first thing our family will do is to consider moving to another house. You are all grown up now, and our house is still a commercial house allocated by your father's company when he was working. It is so old now and there is not even an elevator. Your mother will quit her job immediately if our family becomes rich." Wen Mingxiu didn't dare to think about how much he could sell it for. When the family's conditions improved, it would be time for the mother to resign. His wife has suffered so much over the years.
When they got home, they didn't go upstairs. They put their things in the trunk and called the mother and son to come down. After waiting for a while, the back door was opened and Yu Qiu and Wen Yi got in.
"You and your daughter are in great spirits. You got up so early this morning and didn't even bother to sleep a little longer. You ran out straight away. I heard from Wen Yi that you two took the bowl to have someone look at it this afternoon. How was it?" Yu Qiu rolled her eyes at the father and daughter as soon as she came in. When she got up, only Wen Yi was left at home playing games on the sofa. When she asked where they had been, Wen Yi directly replied that his father had taken his sister to investigate the broken bowl.
"Honey, let me tell you, our family might really be lucky this time. Your daughter just told me that you should stop going to work and find something else to do." Wen Mingxiu repeated what Wen Yan had just said. In fact, he really felt that their family's luck was about to change.
"Lucky? That's really an antique?" Yu Qiu was immediately excited when he heard it. An antique, how much would it sell for? Yu Qiu was so excited just thinking about it.
Wen Yi hadn't really taken it seriously at first, but after hearing what his father said, he lost interest in the game. He immediately became excited. "Sister, really? That broken plate is really an antique? It's quite valuable?"
Wen Yan glanced at her father, who had just kept her quiet. Even before she'd said anything, he'd already let it out. But she continued to tell her mother, "It should be pretty close, but it's not confirmed yet. We'll see tomorrow. But I think you should consider moving. Xining's housing prices aren't very high, so I think we could buy a big villa. And you like gardens, right? You could even buy a house with one."
"Oh my! If that's true, our family's fortunes would be turned around in an instant. Oh, right, don't make a fuss about it until you get the money. Especially Wen Mingxiu, don't tell anyone about it. And Wen Yi, you too, don't tell anyone about it, or they'll target you and that'll be bad." Yu Qiu was overjoyed after hearing what his daughter said, but he still warned the family not to spread rumors, especially Wen Mingxiu, who was so old and couldn't keep his mouth shut. His daughter was relieved, knowing what was going on.
Wen Mingxiu and Wen Yi nodded quickly, understanding.
The family was still excited until they were about to reach grandpa's house. Wen Yan was very calm because she had experienced the baptism of money, so she was able to remain stable. As for the other three people, everyone knew at a glance that there might be some happy event.
As expected, as soon as they entered the door, grandpa looked at the family of four and said, "What did you do? Your faces are full of excitement, and I can't stop it."
Yu Qiu smiled awkwardly when he heard this. He was so old, yet still so unstable. "There is something happy, but I'm not sure yet. I'll tell you when it's confirmed."
"Why did you come so late? It's just past dinner time. We'll be having dinner soon." Grandma walked out of the kitchen and said to her daughter, son-in-law and their family. She had been looking at the watch all day before she came.
"We just came back from the countryside at noon. We packed up at home and then came here." Yu Qiu explained to her mother.
"Yanyan, Xiaoyi, come here. The coffee table is full of your favorite snacks. We'll have dinner soon." Aunt came out of the kitchen, holding Wen Yan and Wen Yi's hand and said.
Wen Yan was pulled directly into the room by Yu Hua, who had been waiting for his cousin to come home.
"Sister, is college fun? Is S University interesting?" Yu Hua is a senior in high school this year. His parents wanted him to apply to S University, but his grades were terrible, so his life became difficult once he started his senior year. So, at the very least, he needed to understand if his future college life would be comfortable, otherwise he might not be able to make it through his senior year.
"It's quite comfortable. Most importantly, the food is delicious. The school is also very large. There are three cafeterias, various sports stadiums, not many classes, and many interesting clubs. So I think it's quite interesting. What have you considered?" Wen Yan sat on his bed, holding his little dinosaur and looking at him.
"My parents feel relieved that I will go to the same university as you. They said that they won't have to worry about anything as long as I am looking after them. So they insisted that I apply to S University." Yu Hua said helplessly, leaning back in his chair. His parents really had good intentions in order to get rid of their son.
"Hahahahahahahahahaha, this is something that my uncle and aunt can do, and it's good. At least I can still take care of you now that you are here. Don't people say that it's easier to get things done if you have someone in the court? Hahaha." Wen Yan knew as soon as she heard it that her uncle and aunt wanted to send her son away quickly because they thought he was an eyesore, but they were afraid that he would learn bad things if he was too far away. They would feel more at ease if he was under the eyes of their niece, so it was a good way to kill two birds with one stone.
In the evening, the whole family happily sat together for dinner. During the meal, the uncle did not forget to say to his son, "Study hard and try to get into the same university as your sister next year. Then no one will worry about you and your university life will be much more comfortable. With your sister looking after your father, I will worry less for a few years."
My aunt also echoed this. She was eager for her son to leave. At home, she had to worry about cooking for him, whether he had enough to eat and whether he had good clothes to wear. He was already a grown-up, so he should just go out and fend for himself. "When the time comes, I'll give the money to your sister and ask her to give you living expenses. Girls are more careful, and you don't know how to buy clothes. When Wen Yan buys clothes, she can buy a few sets for this kid as well. As long as he doesn't starve to death or freeze to death, that's enough. Anyway, you two siblings are in the same school, how great is that? It's a pity that Wen Yi is too young, otherwise if we could just throw these three siblings away at once, we could have a few years of ease."
Yu Hua thought this was a very good idea and looked at Wen Yi with pity. Alas, this brat can't wait to take the college entrance examination next year. Let's go quickly.
The three siblings ate the rice in their bowls with a strange taste. Yu Hua looked bitter on the outside, but he felt happy in his heart. How great it was! His sister wouldn't care about him and would even give him extra food. How great! He really hoped that his sister would take him away immediately when she left. How comfortable it would be to go to college.
