After Su Jingjing took the passbook and saw the amount on it, her eyes widened instantly, and she froze on the spot.
"Wife, are you too happy?"
The man's touch brought her back to her senses. She swallowed hard and asked incredulously, "Do Mom and Dad think we don't have the money to raise a child?"
Raising children is quite expensive, not only in terms of food, drink, and entertainment, but also in terms of extracurricular classes.
Their monthly expenses are considerable, but they are not short of money.
Seeing his wife's confused reaction, Li Hanting couldn't help but pinch her fair and rosy cheeks. "I don't think it's like that. Mom and Dad just want to give it to us. Anyway, they can't spend all their money."
Su Jingjing's beautiful eyes flickered, and she thought that the two elders might really have a lot of savings.
She glanced at the two children who were looking at her with a blank expression, and tentatively asked, "Wouldn't it be a little awkward if my sister-in-law knew that Mom and Dad gave us a savings account?"
Li Hanting pulled her onto the sofa, "Silly wife, do you think Mom and Dad wouldn't give it to your sister-in-law?"
Su Jingjing belatedly realized, "That makes sense."
My mother-in-law is always impartial in her actions and treats her and my sister-in-law like her own daughters, so there is never any conflict between them.
Ouyang Qian wasn't the kind of person who would hold a grudge, and she treated Ouyang Qian like a real sister.
But why didn't she see this part in the book? Didn't her mother-in-law give the original owner a bankbook?
Looking at this huge sum of money, her hands trembled slightly. "Are we just going to accept it like this?"
Li Hanting looked deeply into her eyes and said, "If you don't accept your parents' gift, they will be very sad. Besides, she deliberately put it under her pillow because she didn't want us to refuse."
While the couple were whispering to each other, Yuanyuan leaned against Li Hanting's leg, looked up and asked, "Mom and Dad, did Grandma give us a lot of money?"
Su Jingjing lowered her head, looking at the curiosity in her eyes, and couldn't help but tease her, "How do you know it's a lot of money?"
"Let's count how much money is here."
He then pointed to the numbers on the passbook.
A round, white, delicate little hand tapped around on it, while it kept counting "one, two, three..."
She got stuck halfway through counting and secretly looked at her mother with her big eyes.
Su Jingjing looked at her amusedly, "Um... how much?"
Yuanyuan scratched her head awkwardly, "Mom, I can't count the rest, but it was a lot of money."
As she spoke, she drew a large circle, saying, "It can buy lots of candy, cookies, and pretty clothes."
Her little face was full of pride, and her mouth was moving as if she was craving something sweet.
Su Jingjing knew her daughter wanted candy again, so she pinched her chubby cheeks and asked.
Why didn't you think of buying stationery or books?
Oh no, it seems her daughter really has no interest in studying.
Yuanyuan paused for a moment, blinked her big, round eyes, not wanting to disappoint her mother, and asked, "Mommy, can we buy storybooks instead?"
"Pfft..."
Su Jingjing patted her head. "Of course you can."
Never mind, any book will do.
Su Jingjing looked at the numbers on the two red books, unable to suppress the smile on her lips.
I never imagined she was a millionaire; it seems she's a little money-grubber wherever she goes.
When Chen Shufang returned to the old house, she saw Lao Li sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper. He looked at her and said something indifferently.
"I'm back."
"Hmm." After changing her shoes in the entryway, she walked in and glanced at the dining table.
"Did you have meal?"
Li Yuan put down his newspaper. "Not yet. Eating alone is boring."
Chen Shufang was not surprised and took out the lunch boxes one by one, saying, "Come and eat something. I packed some food for you from my son."
Li Yuan ate a large mouthful of food before asking with satisfaction, "Did you take the bankbook?"
"I put it under their pillows."
Actually, the two of them had already saved up the money and planned to give it to their two daughters-in-law, but they hadn't gotten along with Jingjing before, so the matter was put on hold.
Chen Shufang chatted with Lao Li, "When I went over this time, I also cleaned the house for them, so that Jingjing could relax a bit."
“Alright.” Li Yuan nodded.
The delivery time arrived quickly, and Xie Zheng was waiting at the garment factory early in the morning.
"Boss Xie, you're here so early."
After exchanging pleasantries, Su Jingjing realized that Xie Zheng seemed to value this collaboration quite a bit.
Xie Zheng immediately noticed the clasped hands of the two people opposite him, his expression stiffened for a moment, and then he asked calmly, "Boss Su, who is he...?"
Before his wife could introduce him, Li Hanting extended his right hand and said, "Hello, I am Jingjing's husband, Li Hanting."
The two grown men's eyes met in mid-air.
"Hello, my name is Xie Zheng."
He really didn't expect her to get married.
Watching their movements, Su Jingjing reminded Xie Zheng, "Um, we can start loading the cargo now."
"good."
Xie Zheng released his grip, smiled at Su Jingjing, and then instructed his men to load the goods.
Li Hanting's eyes darkened. Luckily, he came today; otherwise, his wife would have been targeted again.
From a man's perspective, it's obvious that Xie Zheng has feelings for his wife.
To completely extinguish his hopes, he deliberately held Jingjing's slender waist tightly, ostentatiously displaying their affection.
Su Jingjing hadn't noticed this at first, until Sister Xia and the others chuckled softly, and then she realized it.
She raised her flushed face and struggled gently, "Ah Ting, so many people are watching. I'll hug you when we get home."
Li Hanting hugged her even tighter, "I think this is fine."
The key point is that Xie Zheng and the others were also there, so she wasn't that shameless.
Xie Zheng warned himself not to look in that direction and told his men to speed up.
Soon, a thousand pieces of clothing were loaded onto the truck.
"Mr. Su, this is the final payment. Please check it."
Su Jingjing took the thick envelope and chuckled, "I believe you."
"I have to rush back to Beijing. Let's work together again next time."
Xie Zheng stared blankly at her smile; she was truly beautiful and radiant, but unfortunately, she was already taken.
"OK."
When someone offers money to her door, she certainly won't refuse, since her original target was Beijing.
After Xie Zheng left, Su Jingjing smiled even more heartily.
"Let's have a half-day off today and treat everyone to a meal at a restaurant."
Everyone was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, showering each other with compliments as if they were free.
"Jingjing, well done."
"You are truly the most enlightened boss I have ever met. You'll be set for life if you work for me."
Su Jingjing smiled and looked at Dong Qin, "Sister-in-law, go home and call your parents. We won't be cooking today."
"Okay, I'll go right now."
Dong Qin responded crisply.
Su Jingjing ordered a lot of dishes, but in the end, no one could finish them all. Adhering to the habit of not wasting food, everyone packed some to take home for their children.
Nowadays, people don't mind taking leftovers home, since the food at home is much worse.
