Chapter 29 Handing over private money
Jiang Yu was not surprised that he made this deal, but she was very curious about what kind of jewelry Zhou Xiao got in exchange.
Seeing that she wanted to see, Zhou Xiao took people to his room. Without avoiding her, he took out an old wooden box from the hole in the wall behind the cabinet.
After blowing away the dust on the box, Zhou Xiao opened it and found a lot of things inside.
There are jade bracelets with good water content, jade Guanyin pendants, some exquisitely carved gold jewelry, and quite a few small yellow croakers and Yuan Datou coins.
They look quite old and the color has become somewhat dark. If they are to be worn, they need to be processed by a craftsman.
"Is there any you like?" Zhou Xiao asked.
Jiang Yu was used to seeing all kinds of expensive jewelry, so she had no interest in such dull and lusterless ones.
I could only barely pick out a gold hat that looked fairly pleasing to the eye. The rubies dotted on it were pretty and not too dark in color.
"This tiger-head hat is well made. I can make one for my child as a first birthday gift."
Chenzhi is getting married soon. If my sisters have children in a few years, they must be brought over to play with.
In front of others, she acted as if she had an average relationship with Chen Zhi, not close to him, nor did she have any overly repulsive feelings towards him, so Zhou Xiao didn't think about Chen Zhi at all.
After hearing this, Zhou Xiao thought he was talking about their future child, his body paused, an indescribable emotion occupied his heart, and his chest felt burning.
"Okay, but we still have a long time. If you like this stone, you can use it to make jewelry and find someone to make it again later."
If they have children in the future, he will be very happy, but this happiness is only because the child is born by Jiang Yu.
To him, Jiang Yu is the unique and most important one.
Zhou Xiao brought the thing in front of him. With the idea of encouraging men to keep such things in mind, Jiang Yu hesitated for a moment and took the gem off.
Zhou Xiao put the remaining tiger-head hat with a slightly darker color back into the box, and then took out several small yellow croakers and put them in Jiang Yu's hands.
Originally, Zhou Xiao wanted to give all the small yellow croakers to Jiang Yu, but when he saw that she couldn't hold them all and the small yellow croakers were heavy, he changed his mind and pushed the whole box towards her.
"You bought too many things for the family. You can use these first, or I can ask Zhou Tinghuai to sell some of the things, and you can use the money to buy more clothes and jewelry that you like."
Zhou Xiao's brows no longer furrowed when he thought about the fact that Jiang Yu didn't buy many things for herself at the Friendship Store.
I didn’t buy it, but I didn’t like it. Jiang Yu: “…”
Is this how you hand over your private money?
She looked at the box of items in front of her, which were quite valuable to people of that era, and then looked at the man with a distressed look on his face.
The corners of her mouth were slightly raised and her eyes were curved, making her already beautiful face even more dazzling and heart-pounding.
"I'm very aggressive when I go shopping. Aren't you afraid that I'll spend all your money?" Jiang Yu threatened with a smile, which was of course the truth.
She would not deliberately lower her consumption level and put herself in a difficult position just for a boyfriend.
"I'll earn more after you spend it. It's my duty to give you the money I earn." Zhou Xiao said in a serious tone, looking at the dazzlingly beautiful little face.
The roots of her ears hidden under her hair were also very red.
"Okay, then I'll wait for you first." Jiang Yu pushed the box over, her face full of trust in Zhou Xiao.
"You should keep these with you so that they can be put to better use. Um, they can be used as your start-up capital to make money."
Zhou Xiao's expression was moved, as if the box of valuables was given to him by Jiang Yu. He held it in his hands with great care and nodded heavily.
But obviously, it was originally his thing.
Zhou Xiao's room was also empty, with no extra stools, so Jiang Yu sat on his bed and watched the man drive the wheelchair to put the box back into the hole in the wall.
She played with the ruby on her hand. The ruby on her white fingertips made her fingers look even whiter.
Zhou Xiao turned around and saw Jiang Yu sitting lazily on his bed.
The dark color of the bed sheets contrasted greatly with the bright-looking woman, but it inexplicably gave people a hot feeling in their hearts.
Such an arrogant and dazzling person should not suffer here with him. He needs to go faster and faster.
Zhou Xiao looked at the person, and the wheelchair slid towards him, his eyes falling on Jiang Yu's fingertips.
He was a little worried that the edges of the gemstone, which were not polished round, would scratch Jiang Yu's hands, which looked very delicate.
Jiang Yu didn't feel relieved until she put the gem into her bag.
"Comrade Xiao Jiang, it's time for dinner!" Zhang Guixiang shouted in the yard.
Jiang Yu pushed Zhou Xiao out.
After buying the wheelchair, Zhou Tinghuai removed the threshold of the house to make it easier for his second brother to move around.
Zhang Guixiang, who was outside, thought that Jiang Yu had gone back to her room to rest. When she saw the two of them coming out of her eldest son's room, she didn't react for a moment.
His eyes glanced at Zhou Xiao who was sitting in a wheelchair.
He looks good, but could it be that her vision is outdated? Now rich young ladies like this kind of cold men instead of fair-skinned scholars?
Zhang Guixiang still hadn't figured out this problem even when she sat down at the dinner table.
But while eating, looking at the several meat dishes on the table, which were full of oil and fat, she habitually picked up several pieces of meat and gave them to Zhou Tinghuai before starting to eat.
Sitting on the other side, Ben Mei was happily eating the dish that Chen Zhi specially prepared for her. She saw that Zhang Guixiang only picked up meat for the younger son and didn't even glance at the older son.
Zhou Xiao was not surprised at all and his face was extremely calm, as if this kind of thing had happened countless times.
But perhaps he himself did not notice that when Zhang Guixiang picked up some food for Zhou Tinghuai, he paused for two seconds while eating.
At this time, Jiang Yu raised her hand, picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs and put it in Zhou Xiao's bowl.
Meeting the man's dark eyes, she motioned for him to try it.
The sweet and sour pork ribs made by Chen Zhi are delicious.
So don’t be unhappy after eating sweet dishes.
Jiang Yu didn't say anything, and her lips didn't move from beginning to end, but for some reason, Zhou Xiao's cold body was penetrated with a subtle, unignorable warmth.
After dinner, Jiang Yu wanted to make things clear about how to get close to Chen Zhi next.
So he announced a big news in front of everyone in the Zhou family.
“I plan to build a factory in the village.”
The Zhou family members except Zhou Xiao: "!!!"
They are actually planning to build a factory. Could it be that this person is really the God of Wealth invited by their ancestors?
As several people's pupils trembled with shock, Jiang Yu continued speaking.
"Xiaohe Village is too remote. It's not easy for people to make money and there are no ways to recruit workers. Now that I'm here, I want to make everyone's life better and make my uncle and aunt live comfortably in the village in the future."
She was going to take Zhou Xiao away later. She could see that Zhou Xiao seemed to have little affection for his parents except Zhou Tinghuai.
But no matter what, Jiang Yu didn't want to cause unnecessary gossip. Since she was going to build a factory, she might as well use a good name. It would only be a matter of a few words anyway.
This moved the Zhou family and the villagers. She built the factory with everyone's gratitude and expectations, and it would also have a good reputation. She would kill two birds with one stone if she could build the factory quickly and make money.
Well, she does have the potential to be a capitalist. It would be unreasonable for her not to make more money, right?
"Are you really going to build a factory? What kind of factory is Comrade Xiao Jiang going to build? Do we have a chance to work there as workers?"
Zhang Guixiang was so excited that she didn't even bother to speak softly to Jiang Yu.
Not to mention the implicit meaning of Jiang Yu's words. She wanted to build the factory to make their family's life better. That was so exciting that it made people tremble, okay?
As for making the villagers live a good life, Jiang Yu doesn’t even know the people in the village, so this is aimed at them!
