While Yao Tongjia and Li Youyou were complaining about their son, Li Hanxing, in the study, was also complaining about his parents: "If I stay in my room for too long, they act like they've seen a ghost and insist on dragging me out!"
Ruan Liang laughed: "So what exactly were you doing in the room, little brother? Hatching eggs? You could stay in there for 24 hours straight and still have someone bring you food? That's just too outrageous!"
"It's a good thing your room has a toilet, otherwise your room would stink to high heaven."
"You're the one who stinks!" Li Hanxing was nothing like the aloof person she was outside. The Li Hanxing who spoke to Ruan Liang was just a normal kid!
"Then what exactly are you doing?" Ruan Liang was genuinely curious. This wasn't some noble lady from ancient times who couldn't come out and meet people! Even if she was sleeping, she couldn't sleep for 24 hours straight.
Li Hanxing moved closer to Ruan Liang, as if afraid that Xiao Buding would hear: "I'll tell you a secret, but you can't tell anyone that I'm making money!"
"Make money? How do you make money? Make money with a computer?" This was truly a completely new field for Ruan Liang, but who doesn't want to make money?!
"Tell me how you make your money!"
Li Hanxing looked at Little Pudding: "Speak softly, why are you speaking so loudly?"
"It's just the three of us, what's the relationship? It's okay. Even if my sister hears us, she'll pretend she doesn't. She won't tell anyone. Tell me quickly, how do you make money?"
Li Hanxing glanced at Xiaobuding and, seeing that she was still reading, continued in a low voice, "I make money from stocks. My uncle taught me when he came over before, and he even opened an account for me!"
Then the two of them continued to whisper about how to make money with stocks. They were so engrossed in their conversation that Little Pudding interrupted, "Making money with stocks also requires data. Liangliang, if you want, you can ask Mom to open an account for you!"
Little Pudding's words startled the two of them. They were so engrossed in their conversation that they hadn't been expecting Little Pudding to suddenly speak.
"Sis, are you trying to scare me to death?"
"You're the ones who're guilty; I was just speaking normally!"
Ruan Liang thought for a while and said, "Sister, how about we go to Xingxing's house? Can you analyze it for us and see if we can make money too?"
Little Pudding shook her head: "I'm not interested, but you can go if you want. Anyway, it's summer vacation, and the high school entrance exam is no big deal for you."
Now Ruan Liang was really interested: "Then I'll go to Xingxing's house. Please don't tell Mom, Dad, and Grandpa what I'm going to do, okay?"
At this point, Ruan Liang's eyes flashed at Little Pudding, trying to show that he was really cute, and that he couldn't betray her, sister!
Little Pudding laughed and patted his bottom, and Ruan Liang immediately jumped away: "Sis, how could you hit my bottom? I'm a big boy now!"
"So what if you're a big boy? I used to change your diapers for you!"
These words made Li Chenyi laugh out loud: "Changing diapers!"
The two siblings immediately united: "We've changed your diapers too!"
Now Li Chenyi reverted to his previous aloof demeanor, though the blush on his face betrayed his shyness. Little Pudding couldn't laugh at him anymore: "You can't just use the money in your Star Account to play!"
"Then what should I do? I have money but no account!" During the Chinese New Year, Ruan Liang received lucky money and prizes from competitions, all of which he kept himself.
Yao Tongjia thought for a moment and said, "Let Aunt Xinyue open an account for you and ask her to deposit some money for you. You can pay her back when she comes back."
"Will Aunt Xinyue tell Mom and Dad? I don't want them to know yet!"
"Don't worry, Aunt Xinyue is easy to talk to. You can make the call secretly!"
Li Hanxing invited, "Cousin, come home with me and stay at my place for a few days. We can keep an eye on the computer at night, since we need to keep an eye on the stock market then. You can just call from my place; there's usually no one home. You can call any number in Hong Kong!"
These words made Ruan Liang's eyes light up. Little Pudding waved his hand and said, "Go tell your mom and dad yourself!" Ruan Liang's words were so sweet they could kill anyone, and Little Pudding had been the same way before.
Little Pudding doesn't talk as much as she did when she was little; she prefers to solve problems in her head.
Ruan Liang nodded and went downstairs. Li Hanxing saw Xiaobuding reading a book with very complicated data: "Sister, don't you get tired of reading this every day?"
"How can you be annoyed by looking at things you like? Look at you, hiding in your room all day, aren't you bored?"
"It's not boring at all! There's so much to explore online, it's really interesting!"
"That's right, anything I like is interesting. Math is very interesting to me, and solving problems gives me a sense of accomplishment!"
"Making money gives me a sense of accomplishment, and my current goal is to earn more money than my mother has!" Li Hanxing said confidently.
Little Pudding exclaimed in surprise, "Your ideal is quite lofty! I heard your aunt, my mother, say that even if your mother didn't earn money, she could live a life free from want."
"You can tell your mother's monthly expenses are huge just by looking at how many people serve her. But with the inheritance from your maternal grandmother and the dowry from your uncle, she'll have enough to live on for a lifetime. How much money do you think that is?"
Li Hanxing also became interested: "Let me calculate. Our family now has 10 servants. Their salaries are the same as in Hong Kong, 10,000 yuan per person per month."
"Ten people would cost 100,000, and the food expenses for our family of so many people would also cost at least 100,000. My uncle often has things flown over by air."
“My mother’s clothes for all four seasons cost at least 1 million yuan. If we add the cost of vehicle wear and tear, our family’s expenses are at least 4 million yuan a year.”
"Even using the most conservative estimate of 50 years, that means my mother has at least 200 million in her account!" This result startled Li Hanxing: "So much?"
Do you think your mother feels like she only lived 50 years? You should multiply that by 2!
Li Hanxing slumped down, saying, "400 million? I... I really don't have the ability to earn that much money right now!"
Little Pudding continued to stab me in the back: "You forgot, your mother also does business with my mother. Their cosmetics company makes a fortune every day!"
Li Hanxing lay down completely: "I can't earn that much money right now, but I believe that when I grow up, I definitely can. I will definitely earn more money than my mother!"
Little Pudding felt that this was the real her cousin: "Why do you always act so mature in front of your parents? It makes your parents lose the joy of raising children!"
"Why do they keep pulling my face every day, and while they're doing it, they keep saying how cute I am? I'm a big boy, I can't let them say I'm cute!"
Li Hanxing's words made Little Pudding burst out laughing. Sure enough, adults and children think differently!
