The two of them lay down in the warm bed together. Jiang Shushu hugged Yang Xiaobei sideways. Yang Xiaobei lay flat on his back with the quilt covering their chests, letting Jiang Shushu rest his head on one of Yang Xiaobei's arms.
Seeing that Jiang Shushu had a good attitude in admitting his mistake, Yang Xiaobei skipped the topic and said, "Tell me about your past few months. I went to G City twice but didn't see you."
Jiang Shushu briefly talked about the process of her selling watches, from getting the goods from City G to selling them in the inland area far away from City G.
"I'm smart, right? I'm doing the opposite of what others are doing. I'm selling at a low profit margin and high volume, and I wholesale the goods I get to vendors, saving time and effort."
"My wife is smart. She thinks of good solutions."
"Have you encountered any danger? All the train stations are in a mess, and they are being vigorously rectified recently. The train station in City G is much bigger than ours, so it should be even more chaotic, right?" Yang Xiaobei's voice was filled with worry.
"Who am I? I'm not only strong, but also have good acting skills. How could I be in danger? I always pretend to be an ordinary traveler, and they won't notice me at all." If I hadn't encountered a thief, my three-month journey would have been absolutely perfect. What a hateful thief, it's a pity that I don't know who he is.
On his ninth trip from a coastal city to the inland, Jiang Shushu ran into a thief. Unnoticed, his suitcase was swapped on the train. It wasn't until he got off the train and felt the weight of the suitcase, he realized he'd lost 150 of his cheapest watches, a total of 2,500 yuan.
At that time, Jiang Shushu returned to City G and made a high-profile move on purpose, just to lure the thief out and let him know that not everything can be stolen. As a result, Jiang Shushu watched all the way but found nothing and could only blame himself for his bad luck.
"Jiang Shushu, tell the truth."
"No danger, really. But I did have one bad luck. One time, a thief was so good that he switched one of my suitcases with mine on the train without my noticing. I didn't realize it until I got off the train. I had lost about a hundred watches."
"Did you catch him?" With Shushu's temper, he wouldn't just let it go like that.
"No, he was very cunning. When I came back from my work, I made a big show of it, hoping to teach that thief a lesson. But he didn't even show his face, so he can only blame himself for his bad luck."
Jiang Shushu's expression suddenly changed, and he said seriously: "Comrade Yang Xiaobei, I am officially informing you that your wife has made a fortune."
"Congratulations! It looks like I'll be able to live a luxurious life from now on. Big fortune? Or small fortune?"
Jiang Shushu didn't intend to finish talking about the specific amount in the passbook. After all, the amount was too large and unreasonable. After Jiang Shushu bought the house, there was still some money left in the passbook. Jiang Shushu deposited the money into three passbooks, one for 110,000 yuan, one for 90,000 yuan, and one for 110,000 yuan. Jiang Shushu put the passbook with 110,000 yuan into the small space and kept it away.
"That should be considered a fortune, right?"
Jiang Shushu let go of Yang Xiaobei, sat up, reached out to pick up the large backpack that had been wiped and put it on the quilt.
Yang Xiaobei stopped lying down and sat up with Jiang Shushu.
Jiang Shushu took out two passbooks from his backpack and handed them to Yang Xiaobei. "Look, this is what I've achieved in the past three months."
Yang Xiaobei said as he opened his passbook, "Then I have to see how capable my wife is."
Yang Xiaobei opened two passbooks at the same time. One had 90,000 yuan in it, and the other had 90,000 yuan in it. Yang Xiaobei was shocked. "So much? I thought it was only 40,000 or 50,000 yuan at most. How many watches do you carry at a time?"
"Haha... You know I'm strong, so carrying watches isn't difficult. I carry at least three or four hundred at a time. I sell them to vendors, and they sell very quickly. I want to make more money, so once I sell them all, I return to get new ones. I make this much money while running around."
"You must have run dozens of times, it must be very tiring." Shushu has earned so much money, he must not have had a day off, he is highly focused every day, and he is exhausted. Although Shushu didn't say it, he must be very tired. No wonder his menstruation is irregular.
"It's okay. It's a bit hard, but making money makes me happy."
"After finishing my work this time, I went shopping in G City for a few days. Everything was sold directly from the manufacturers and was very cheap. I sold everything that I thought was suitable for our family. I opened all the express deliveries that arrived in the past two days. I bought 16 sets of clothes for you..." Jiang Shushu simply told her about what she had bought in the past few days.
Jiang Shushu pulled a box from his bag, opened it, and pulled out an imperial green jade pendant that was two fingers wide and two fingers long. "I heard this jade pendant has been blessed by a master. It can turn misfortune into good fortune and even save lives in times of need! Wear this. I hope you'll be safe. I've had someone braid the red string for you. I'll put it on you."
Yang Xiaobei stopped Jiang Shushu's action and said, "What a beautiful jade, with a translucent green color. It's really a good thing. You wear it, why don't you give it to me? I heard that jade can nourish people, and the more you wear it, the more beautiful you become. Shushu, you are more suitable to wear it than me."
Jiang Shushu took out another small box from her bag and took out another imperial green jade pendant that was smaller than Yang Xiaobei's.
"Haha, I have one too. Let's each have one. This is a couple's jade pendant. You put it on me and I'll put it on you."
"good."
"Oh, one more thing. I also spent 50,000 yuan to buy three apartments in G City. They are 150 square meters, 300 square meters, and 500 square meters respectively."
Yang Xiaobei was even more shocked. He looked at his bankbook and thought about what Jiang Shushu had bought. "Three months, over 200,000?"
"Yes, I buy directly from the manufacturer. Even if I find a vendor to sell at a low profit, I can still make double the money. I can make dozens of dollars per watch. Can it be less?"
Yang Xiaobei's thousands of words turned into just one sentence, "You've worked hard, now go home and have a good rest."
"good."
Jiang Shushu waited and waited, but Yang Xiaobei didn't ask about the house. "Why don't you ask about the house?"
"You must have your reasons for buying a house there. I believe you. Besides, right now, no matter where you buy a house, you won't lose money."
Jiang Shushu: “…” Is your vision so sharp?
"How do you say that?"
"Housing is in short supply right now. At the better end, three or four people live in 20 square meters, while at the worse end, three generations live under one roof. What do they want to do with their money? Besides having enough food and clothing, they want to buy a house. So, as long as they have a house, they'll never have to worry about it. Whether they rent it or sell it, they'll never lose money."
"Haha...then we think alike. I thought so too. G City is prosperous, and these three houses were hard to come by, so I thought I'd take advantage of it first, so I bought them without even discussing it with you. I also wanted to buy a few more houses and land, and then wait and see what it would take to become a landlady."
