Chapter 112

During dinner, Meng Daguo and Meng Hua walked into the house one after another, followed Zhen Zhen around, and said they had something to tell her.

Meng Daguo started talking about buying a car, and Zhen Zhen didn't hold back. Her son was older, had his own family, and had money in his pocket, so it was really not her turn to make the decision.

When her son reported to her about buying a car, it was out of respect for her. She couldn't really think of herself as a big shot.

"Buy it when you want to, the sooner you buy it, the sooner you can enjoy it."

Meng Daguo was a little embarrassed. "Mom taught us to be low-key, but we bought a car to show off. It's really not like mom's son."

Zhen Zhen smiled. Being low-key is not a bad thing, but isn’t the purpose of making money to have a better life?

Who wants to ride a bicycle around all day when they can take a car?

When Zhen Zhen first traveled through time, he had to take someone else's flatbed truck to go to the county town. The ride from the village to the county town was so bumpy that his butt was almost broken.

Seeing the reform and opening up and the advancement of science and technology, she no longer wanted to live that kind of miserable life.

Zhen Zhen opened the lid of the pot. The corn cakes were ready. She smelled the fragrance. It was not easy to get them outside. She took a piece and stuffed it into Meng Hua's mouth.

"What about you? You want to buy a car too?"

Meng Hua was fed by his own mother, and his heart was as sweet as honey. People's subconscious actions could not deceive others. No matter how much his elder and second brothers wanted to replace his position in their mother's heart, he was still their mother's most beloved son.

"Mom, I want to buy a car too, but not for myself. I want to buy one for you."

Zhen Zhen was stunned. In her previous life, she had just passed her driving test and before she could hit the road, she was reincarnated as Zhen Guizhi in this world.

Life was not rich these days and most people were still poor. Although she had some money, she was used to a hard life and had never thought about buying a car.

"Mom is old and her eyesight is blurry. Can she still drive?"

Meng Hua smiled: "Fifty is the right age. I am not flattering you. A beautiful woman deserves a luxury car. A successful woman like me who is well-educated and beautiful deserves a BMW Benz! Imagine, mother driving a red BMW car in the fields. Who would not praise her fashion sense?"

"She's an old lady, but she's still fashionable."

Zhen Zhen said no, but she was very happy in her heart. Seeing that he had flattered the right person, Meng Hua immediately called Tan Zheng.

After negotiating for half an hour, he called Meng Hua back and said that he had obtained a red BMW car in Guangdong Province. The car had just been shipped to the country and would be delivered to the Meng family in a few days.

Santana is a best-selling car, and it is difficult to get a quota. Tan Zhenggang has just bought a few for his friends, but now he has no more quotas. He can only give one to the Meng family, and the other quota will have to wait until next month.

In other words, only one of Meng Daguo and Meng Eryong can drive a Santana.

Of course Meng Daguo wanted to drive the Santana, but as an older brother, he couldn't compete with his younger brother for it, so he said that when the car arrived, he would give it to Meng Eryong first.

Meng Eryong was so excited that he wished he could get in the car the next second.

Seeing that he was losing his temper, Tao Aihong angrily dragged him into the room, closed the door and scolded him:

"Are you stupid? Why are you so anxious? Meng Daguo is not anxious at all, how anxious are you?"

Meng Eryong was puzzled. "Brother, if you give us the car, we can use it after the New Year. Isn't that good?"

"What's good about it? Who knows if there's anything wrong with this car? I think Meng Daguo is smarter than anyone else. He lets you try it first, but how can that be for your own good? He's obviously planning to do something bad!"

"What bad things can he hide?"

"What do you think? If we can't get a second car, he can drive your car openly! Then, our car will become the public car of the Meng family. It's embarrassing to think that he will get the advantage while we spend our money."

Meng Eryong was stunned for a moment. What Tao Aihong said made sense, but he was a millionaire now, so there was no need to calculate everything!

What's more, the pig farm and the ham sausage factory were run by Meng Daguo. He and Tao Aihong were not brave at all and could count money just by lying at home. In the final analysis, it was they who took advantage of Meng Daguo and he was not on guard against them. It was really too much for them to turn the tables!

Sanwa was doing his homework outside. Hearing his parents' quarrel, he couldn't help but come over and said, "Mom, my dad is right. You are too petty! You are so narrow-minded! My uncle is so good to our family. He buys me this and that. He really loves me like his son. But what about you? You are always on guard against others and try to take advantage of them. You will end up losing a lot if you try to gain a small advantage!"

"Go away! You're everywhere!"

Tao Aihong glared at Sanwa and felt that the two grandfathers were too wasteful and were not good at living.

"Anyway, I absolutely don't agree to buy a car first!"

"Then what do you say we should do?" Meng Eryong was also anxious.

"If you ask me, just give the car to your brother. If you want to drive it, just borrow it from him. I don't believe that he, as the eldest brother, would have the nerve to not lend it to you!"

"You woman, you don't let others take advantage of you, but you are taking advantage of others openly!" Meng Eryong was speechless.

All the money in the family is in Tao Aihong's hands. She has put it all in a time deposit. If she doesn't give money, Meng Eryong will have no money to buy a car.

Meng Eryong was furious. "Meng Hua finally got us a car purchase quota, and the boss also said that he would give the car to us. But you are just dragging us down. Why did I marry a woman like you? I can't live like this anymore!"

The more Meng Eryong thought about it, the more suffocated he became. He immediately grabbed his clothes and went out. He slept in the food factory that night and drank wine with the workers and masters in the factory.

It was New Year's Day, but Meng Eryong did not return home. Zhen Zhen guessed that the couple was quarreling again, so she called Sanwa over to ask him and found out what had happened.

"Grandma, don't be angry. This is just who my mom is."

Zhen Zhen couldn't get angry with Tao Aihong, after all, he was already used to her behavior.

"Sanwa, do you think your mother is right?"

"No," Sanwa shook his head violently, "Grandma, I will never marry someone like my mother in the future."

Zhen Zhen was amused by him, "Tell me, what's wrong?"

Sanwa thought about it, but he couldn't tell what the problem was. After all, there were many women like this in the countryside. But he just felt that his mother was a drag on the family.

Even though an aunt like Jiao Huilan was supported by her grandmother, she was at least obedient and willing to learn and make progress. Tao Aihong, on the other hand, refused to get a driver's license or design skills. When asked to buy a house or a shop, she said there was no insurance and insisted on putting all the money in the bank.

They also say that banks are the only thing that will not fail.

Sanwa felt that his mother's personality made her only suitable to be a rural manager and she would not be able to accomplish anything great. In addition, Tao Aihong was always making trouble and was narrow-minded. Sanwa saw it all and was somewhat dissatisfied with his mother.

"Grandma, they say a son never finds his mother ugly. Am I being unfilial by saying this about my mom?"

"You are not unfilial, you are just standing on the side of truth. If you knew your mother had problems and still defended her, you would only lead her down a more foolish path."

Zhen Zhen hadn't said another word yet. Mental matricide is a growing pain that everyone goes through. The third child just came earlier.

Compared with Tao Aihong's noise, Zhen Zhen is more concerned about Sanwa's mental health. After all, children are the future of the family. She doesn't care what Tao Aihong does. What Sanwa thinks is the most important.

Seeing that the child did not grow up astray, Zhen Zhen was quite happy, and threw a few books to Sanwa, letting him figure it out on his own.

Meng Eryong had no money to buy a car, so he had to be a good person and give the car to Meng Daguo.

Meng Daguo was quite moved. While burning paper and kowtowing to Meng Changzheng, he also praised Meng Eryong highly.

Meng Daguo's tone of sincere praise made Meng Eryong feel embarrassed.

Meng Daguo quickly got on his black Santana. This car was really durable. Although it was not as dazzling as luxury cars, it was decent enough to be used outdoors. However, it was not overly ostentatious, which suited Meng Daguo's personality very well.

Meng Daguo, who got into the car, became Boss Meng. People offered him cigarettes wherever he went. Jiao Huilan took the car several times and, encouraged by her mother-in-law, applied for a driving school.

Jiao Huilan also felt that she was not good enough at first. Nowadays, cars are driven by men and there are no women driving on the streets.

She was nervous when she got in the car, afraid of hitting someone, and felt that she could not control this steel beast at all.

Tan Wenyin saw what was going on, and she consoled him, "Don't worry, my mother-in-law is right, there is nothing in this world that cannot be learned. I was also very nervous the first time I got in a car, my palms were sweaty, and I didn't dare to drive on the main road. But guess what now? I can drive hundreds of kilometers by myself to travel to other places!"

Jiao Huilan's eyes widened. "How come you are such a good driver? How did you do it?"

"Hey, this thing doesn't require any skills! It just takes practice! I used to think driving was a man's thing and women couldn't do it, but after I became proficient, I realized that these were all lies from men! Once you become proficient, it's as easy as cooking."

Jiao Huilan immediately gained confidence after hearing her say this, "Can I really do this?"

"Of course I can! Sister-in-law, think about it, giving birth is so difficult, but we women can do it, so driving a car is nothing! It's not a problem at all."

Tan Wenyin took the driving test with the encouragement of her mother-in-law, and now she is encouraging Jiao Huilan.

After hearing this, Jiao Huilan made up her mind to learn how to drive well. She was easily nervous at the beginning and always stepped on the brakes and accelerator hard, but strangely, after practicing for a few days, she gradually became proficient. What surprised her was that she was born to be a good driver and she did not make any of the common mistakes.

Once, when she and Meng Daguo were practicing driving together, Meng Daguo almost hit a tree stump, but she stopped him in time.

After that, Jiao Huilan gained confidence in herself and soon got her driver's license. She even drove better than Meng Daguo. Of course, that's another story.

When Zhen Zhen's red BMW arrived home, it became explosive news in the county.

Meng Xi, Sanwa and others originally liked Meng Daguo's car, but when they saw Zhen Zhen's BMW, they suddenly felt that Santana was not fashionable enough.

"Oh my god! Now that's what you call a car! Your granddaughter has finally seen the world today!" Meng Xi exaggerated.

Zhen Zhen laughed, "You went to the capital city of Beijing and even pronounced your words with a Beijing accent."

Meng Xi chuckled and got into the BMW carriage to experience the feeling of being a young lady.

"This is how people should live! Grandma, when you drive this car out, people will know you are the boss!" Meng Xi whispered in Zhen Zhen's ear and rubbed his hands, "Grandma, when I graduate, can you also give me a precious carriage?"

"I want one too!" Sanwa shouted.

“I want one too!” The fourth and fifth children raised their hands.

Even Xiaoliu, who knew nothing, joined in the fun.

Zhen Zhen laughed, "You clever little guys, you won't stop until you empty grandma's purse, right?"

A few people chuckled.

Zhen Zhen was used to them. What if she wasn't? They were all her grandchildren, and she had brought them up. She had feelings for them and was willing to treat them well.

The children were delighted to get Zhen Zhen's promise and clamored for Zhen Zhen to take them for a ride.

Zhen Zhen also wanted to try driving a BMW, so she stepped on the accelerator and drove onto the road. She hadn't got her driver's license yet, and as she feared, she was stopped by the police as soon as she got onto the highway.

"Hello, please show me your driver's license."

Zhen Zhen is also a prominent figure in the county, but she doesn't want to trouble the leaders because of such a small matter.

People should not think of themselves as important people just because they have a little power.

She could only take out her trump card and wink at Xiao Wu. Xiao Wu was not someone to be fooled either, so he stretched out his hand and asked Zhen Zhen for five yuan.

After Zhen Zhen agreed, Xiao Wu rolled down the car window, blinked at the police officer, and said pitifully:

"Uncle police, my grandma didn't bring her driver's license. Please forgive my grandma! She really knows she was wrong, and she won't dare to make the same mistake again next time. If she makes the same mistake again, please arrest her and lock her up in the public security bureau so that she can be reformed!"

OK! This is another filial son and grandson!

The five-year-old children are very young and speak in a baby voice, which makes them very cute. The young police officers are too embarrassed to make things difficult for them.

But he still didn't believe it.

"Is this your grandma? Are you kidding me?"

"I'm not lying! She's really my grandma!"

Sanwa raised his hand: "I swear, although she looks young, she is really over 50 years old! She is really our grandma!"

The police officer still didn't believe it. The lady in front of him looked to be in her early thirties, and she was fashionable and knew how to dress. How could she look like a grandmother?

Zhen Zhen smiled and handed the ID card to the police, who took it and looked at it carefully before exclaiming:

"You are really young, younger than my sister."

"Your compliment will make me happy for at least a month."

"Okay, for the sake of the children, I won't bother with you this time. Remember to bring your driver's license next time."

The police officer smiled and waved at her, thinking that this lady was really fashionable. Not only did she have enough money to buy a luxury car, but she also used her ID card.

You have to know that the ID card has only been introduced for a few years, and many elderly women in rural areas don’t even have a household registration booklet, let alone an ID card.

Since he was punished, Zhen Zhen took a car full of kids to take a walk back to his hometown.

Zhang Cuihua and Gou Zi's mother were both fascinated when they saw Zhen Zhen's precious horse.

This is not an ordinary car, it is a woman's car, and its steering wheel is controlled by a woman.

Zhang Cuihua and Gou Zi's mother praised it a lot. They heard that Meng Hua bought it to show his filial piety to his mother. They also praised Meng Hua for his filial piety and his father-in-law for his ability to get things done.

"It's indeed a famous brand car. It's really comfortable, and the seats are made of leather!" Zhang Cuihua loved it so much that she couldn't let it go.

Zhen Zhen smiled and said, "Not bad, right? I'll take you and Gou Zi's wife to the next city to soak in the hot springs in a few days."

"Is there a hot spring in the city next door?"

"It's a newly built hot spring. The county leader gave me some tickets. We'll drive over there later."

Zhang Cuihua's blood boiled. "Guizhi, it's great to have money and a say."

"That's right. If I don't make money, can my family buy a car for me to drive?"

Zhen Zhen kept his word and took the two old sisters to soak in the hot spring.

Zhen Zhen bought a few bikinis when she went to Guangdong to purchase supplies last time. They came in handy now. The three of them wore two-piece bikinis, bathed in a private hot spring, drank red wine, and ate chilled grapes and apples. They were so happy.

Just after soaking for half an hour, it started snowing. The scenery of the outdoor hot spring pool is very beautiful, and it is even more beautiful with the snow.

Zhen Zhen took out her camera and took some photos of the two old sisters in the snow, which excited the old sisters who had never soaked in a hot spring or worn a swimsuit to "pose" in their lives.

The three old sisters stayed in the hot spring villa for two days and had a great time. After returning, Zhang Cuihua and Gou Zi's mother described the luxury of the hot spring villa to the villagers. They also said that Zhen Zhen opened foreign wine for them to drink, and several of them took photos while soaking in the open-air hot spring, which made everyone jealous.

When Zhen Zhen returned home, Jiao Huilan had just come down from the building with a sad face:

"Mother, please take care of Meng Nan. This child has grown up and doesn't listen to me."

"What's wrong?" Zhen Zhen soaked in the hot spring for a few days and did skin care. Her skin was smooth and shiny, and she looked several years younger.

Jiao Huilan couldn't help but touch her face. Oh, it's good to have a young and beautiful mother-in-law, but when you go out, if you often go out with your mother-in-law, people will easily think you are sisters.

Jiao Huilan is under a lot of pressure!

"Mom, I don't know what these kids are up to. They have been locking themselves up at home for the past two days and secretly making phone calls to Beijing."

Zhen Zhen smiled, "Let them be, they are just discussing how to make money. I know Meng Nan's personality, although she is bold and unconventional, she will not do bad things! As long as it is not against the law, let her do whatever she wants!"

"I don't mind, but Tao Aihong has some complaints. She's worried that he might bring up the third child badly."

"If she has any opinions, let her come to me!"

Zhen Zhen said she didn't care, but she was still worried that the child would take the wrong path. After dinner, she went upstairs to find Meng Nan. Meng Nan did not hide anything from her and told her everything like pouring beans.

It turns out that in recent years, the relationship between the warring countries and China has eased, and a railway to the warring countries has been opened in Beijing, stopping at Yaroslavl Station.

The war was in a state of shortage of light industrial products and the situation was tense. Domestic goods could be shipped there and resold for several times the price.

"Our down jacket, which costs 100 yuan, can be sold for 700 or 800 yuan there."

"Our lighters, which cost only a few cents, can be sold for ten times the price there."

"And food is also very profitable. Grandma, I plan to take some samples from our clothing store over there. I'll pick out those warm, large, and thick styles that are suitable for keeping out the cold there. If someone places an order, I'll ship them over and sell them at a high price. I can make five times the profit by reselling them!"

Zhen Zhen thought to herself that the girl was really brave. It was true that one could make money by reselling supplies in warring countries these days, but the route was very dangerous and there were many robbers and ambushes along the way.

Zhen Zhen was worried about the girl's safety.

"Grandma, don't worry. The guy with me is called Zhang Weidong, a second-generation gangster. He helped me with the procedures when I went to Wandao to trade stocks last time. He is very good at fighting. I made an agreement with him. I will be responsible for selecting materials and preparing goods, and he will be responsible for transporting and selling goods. We will work together inside and outside, and we will split the profits in half."

Zhen Zhen felt relieved when she heard that she didn't have to go to the War Kingdom.

"Okay, go ahead and do what you want. Tell your mom what you need. People from the Fighting Nation are tall and need larger sizes. You have to get the size right."

"Don't worry, I'm not stupid. Our clothes are of good quality and warm, perfect for you."

With Zhen Zhen's support, Meng Nan started to work without hesitation.

Not only did she sell clothes to the warring states, she also sold her mother-in-law's various foods, especially instant noodles, which were particularly popular in the cold warring states.

Meng Hua also heard about Meng Nan and Zhang Weidong's material trafficking in Beijing.

Zhang Weidong's grandfather didn't want his grandson to do this at first, but Meng Nan was a relative of the Tan family, and Tan Zheng had no objection, so after thinking it over again and again, he went along with the two of them.

During this time, Meng Nan encountered some minor difficulties, and Meng Hua stepped forward to help his niece solve the problem.

Not to mention, Meng Nan really has some talent for business. With the inventory support of the Meng family and the backing of Zhen Zhen, within a month, she and Zhang Weidong each earned two million.

This made Meng Nan very proud.

Meng Nan called home to show off. When Tao Aihong heard that Meng Nan had made so much money, her eyes widened.

Before, Sanwa said he wanted to invest in the company and was beaten up by Tao Aihong. Who would have thought that Meng Nan could really make money!

Tao Aihong regretted so much that her intestines turned green.

Meng Daguo was also happy. Meng Nan was admitted to a prestigious school and could make money. Meng Xi was a good candidate for the diving team. Si Ya Meng Hao was not as dazzling as her two sisters, but she was a clingy little girl who made her parents happy every day and seemed to be a family-oriented person.

Meng Daguo increasingly realized the benefits of raising a concubine.

This ordeal of Meng Nan has a different meaning.

Although Meng Nan was admitted to a prestigious school in the past, she was the youngest in the family after all, and the Meng family would never bring her along when discussing important matters. But now it is different.

Meng Nan has two to three million in capital, a reliable partner, and a say in the family, so even Tao Aihong doesn't dare to look down on her.

After the Chinese New Year, the county gave a guarantee that the antiques dug out from the underground of the mall were from the Qing Dynasty, not very old, and not of much value in the tomb, so they only took away the burial objects.

The construction of Meng's shopping mall continued.

Zhen Zhen was very concerned about the construction of the shopping mall. Since the capital was sufficient and the materials were available, it could be built very quickly. The roof would be completed in less than three months, and all that was left was to be done after the subsequent decoration and painting.

Zhen Zhen also bought two escalators and two elevators from abroad. With these four elevators, her shopping mall had a gimmick and was sure to be a hit.

Don’t deny that the house designed by Mike from Hong Kong is really practical, with orderly entry and exit, maximum use of space, good lighting, and more importantly, good feng shui.

Seeing that the mall is almost completed, what Zhen Zhen needs to do is to position the mall well, plan the rental of shops, and divide the mall into different areas.

There are not many good domestic brands at present, and even if there are, Xin Yao County may not be able to afford them.

Zhen Zhen thought that if a supermarket really wanted to do business, it would have to take the route of value for money.

The first floor sells gold jewelry, communication products, skin care products, and branded women's clothing.

The second floor is Zhenxin Supermarket, which sells Good Mother-in-law, Zhenxin Food, various brand foods, vegetables, fresh produce imported from other places, and a lot of cooked food.

The third floor sells large items such as bedding and home textiles.

The fourth floor is used to open a hotel.

There are not many decent shopping malls even in Beijing nowadays. When Meng Nan heard that her grandmother had such a big stall, he was completely impressed.

Today, Zhenxin Food Factory has more than 50 kinds of food, and Focus Women's Wear can easily produce hundreds of styles and open a clothing hypermarket. In this way, the foundation of Zhenxin Shopping Mall is stable.

But it is not enough for a shopping mall to have only these brands, it also needs good brands to support its appearance.

Zhen Zhen also knew this, and she set her sights on the golden diamond.

The third son does this, and Zhen Zhen couldn't ask outsiders for help. She called Meng Hua first to discuss cooperation in opening a store.

In fact, Meng Hua was also troubled by the gold and diamond issue.

A few years ago, Meng Hua listened to his mother and bought gold mines all over the world, and he did make some money.

He opened a company with mining qualifications in the mainland, and several mines on hand produced good products. In recent years, he has relied on annual mining to supply raw materials to the jewelry stores in Hong Kong City.

But the mines that Meng Hua bought are not large in scale. After nearly ten years of mining, many mines have reached bottom.

For mining companies, the most convenient way to expand is to buy other people's mines.

Meng Hua was not stupid, so he would naturally do the same thing. But the problem was, it was not his turn to buy good mines!

As for those inferior mines, the scale of mining will naturally not meet expectations. Once his subordinates make a wrong estimate after exploration, he will lose a lot of money.

Meng Hua made two consecutive mistakes this year and lost millions.

It is not a big deal for a businessman to make profits and losses, but he wanted to open a chain store in the mainland, and the supply on hand was insufficient, so naturally he could not take care of Zhen Zhen.

Zhen Zhen didn't expect that her third son encountered such a big problem. She was good at everything else, but she couldn't help at all with buying the mine.

Even if she was a time traveler, she wouldn't know which mine could produce gold.

If she had this ability, she would have bought mines all over the world long ago. Why would she still open a shopping mall here to make money?

However, without the support of the Golden Store, the mall’s scale and sales would definitely not increase, which gave Zhen Zhen quite a headache.

Zhen Zhen focused on the shopping mall, but did not neglect the management of the Good Mother-in-law store.

After returning home and washing her hands, she went to Good Mother-in-law Snack Shop to check the bill. As soon as she finished checking the bill with the clerk, she was attracted by a man.

The man was about forty years old, of medium height, wearing an old, grey cotton jacket and round glasses. He had a gentle and clean temperament and looked like a scholar from the old society.

He looked around nervously, staring at Zhen Zhen from time to time.

Zhen Zhen has been running the shop for many years and is very sensitive to the looks of customers, and can tell at a glance if something is wrong.

She stared at the man for twice, and his eyes met hers. He seemed frightened, lowered his head with a pale face, and ran away without looking back.

"What a weirdo!" the clerk muttered.

Zhen Zhen frowned, "Does this man come here often?"

"Yes, he has been here for several days in a row, and every time he looks around, it's obvious that he wants to steal something."

The next day, the middle-aged man came again. This time he walked into the store, took a look around, and when he came out, his belly was bulging, and it was obvious that he was hiding something.

Noticing that Zhen Zhen was looking at him, the man lowered his head nervously, not daring to breathe, and ran away without looking back.

"Hey, thief!" the clerk shouted, but was stopped by Zhen Zhen.

The clerk was anxious, "Sister, didn't you notice that he stole something?"

Zhen Zhen could of course see that the man had stolen something, but he looked nervous and his face flushed, and it was obvious that he was not an experienced thief.

"It looks to me like this is his first time committing a crime."

"No matter if it's the first time or the second time, stealing is stealing. If we let people steal things so easily right under our noses, will our store still be doing business?"

This little girl is new. Her parents have passed away, and she lives with her grandparents. Her family is so poor that they can barely make ends meet. When Zhen Zhen went to the countryside to buy peppers, he saw how miserable the girl was, so he brought her back to raise her.

This little girl is extremely loyal to her and cares about Good Mother-in-law Snack Shop more than Zhen Zhen does. She simply treats this place as her own home.

Zhen Zhen touched her head and smiled, "You are right, stealing is wrong, but I noticed that although his clothes are worn out, they are very clean, and he looks like a cultured person. He must have encountered some difficulties, and there is no need for us to embarrass him."

"But he stole a lot of things."

Zhen Zhen smiled and said, "If intellectuals can't afford to eat, it's not their fault, it's the society's fault."

The little girl scratched her head, as if she didn't understand.

Zhen Zhen smiled and said, "I'll give you a task. Follow him secretly. When you get home with him, find out what's going on at home and come back to tell me."

The little girl agreed and ran out.

An hour later, the girl came back and told Zhen Zhen what she had found out.

"I heard from their neighbors that he was a lunatic who only dreamed of getting rich all day long, sweeping mountains and studying stones. He said there was a gold mine here, and then there was a copper mine there, all kinds of nonsense. His wife couldn't stand him anymore, so she divorced him and went back to her parents' home, leaving behind a little boy. This man stole instant noodles to support his child at home."
