Chapter 291: Chapter 282: Saving Money

Seeing her like that, Yang Mingchao couldn’t help but give her a sideways glance, "Fifty thousand, and that’s with twenty thousand left in the store."

"So, Second Cousin, isn’t that just too much profit? Your store hasn’t been open very long."

Yang Mingchao was so exasperated he almost zapped her, "Are you dumb? No businessperson ever complains about making too much money.

You’ve said it yourself before, haven’t you? Save some when you make money, don’t just plow everything back into the stock."

"Of the fifty thousand, fifteen thousand for you, thirty-five thousand for me. Out of that thirty-five thousand, I plan to take out ten thousand for you to help me look at a few properties, alright?"

Lu Jingqiu eagerly nodded, "Of course, that’s great. Bro, you are amazing."

Listening to her praise, Yang Mingchao couldn’t hide his pleasure and smiled, "That’s right. When we bought the car, we used our own savings, didn’t borrow money or created any debt. Although the money for stock was a little tight at first, we had the car, right? If we’re out of goods, we go haul some. The capital turnover was enough, and it’s normal to make this much after the last two rounds.

But that’s my own hard work, too. I’ve been running around with the goods for half a month before I started to get some customers. In our province, visiting several cities, even selling just one or two units at a time adds up to quite a bit.

Don’t look at just our county town, there are plenty of wealthy people, and many buying refrigerators."

"However, having made this circuit, pretty much everyone who wanted to buy a refrigerator has bought one. I suspect refrigerator sales will slow down from now until the New Year."

"How can business ever be saturated? I believe more and more people will buy these appliances in the future."

"Yeah, but I plan to carry a load of goods and travel around the country."

"The same goods?"

"Right, just touring the provinces around ours, I can sell units in the teens or twenties. I’ve noticed more and more people getting into the appliance business, and there’ll soon be quite a few in West City. To compete for business, their prices might be cheaper than ours. I want to take advantage of this time, when there aren’t too many and the profits are high, to run around more. After all, we have a car."

"But with all this valuable stock, it can be really dangerous out there."

"What’s there to be afraid of? The two guys Jiang Nanzhou introduced to me are pretty skilled. Besides, I’ve got a few years of driving experience."

"Just be cautious, Second Cousin."

"Don’t worry. I’ll bring you the money tomorrow, and remember to keep an eye out for some properties for me. If you find something suitable, go ahead and lock it down."

"Ah, but it’s your property; how can I just buy based on what I like without you checking it out?"

"Bro isn’t planning to live there; I’m buying it just to wait for demolition, like you. I trust your judgement which is why I’m leaving it to you. Don’t let me down."

"Second Cousin, talking like that, I’m really feeling the pressure."

"What pressure could there be? I don’t care about that little bit of money."

Hearing this, Lu Jingqiu’s heart skipped a beat and she hurriedly said, "Bro, don’t be like some people who, once they have a little money, start to feel they’re not themselves anymore and get carried away."

"If I’m not myself, then what am I? I’m a person, how could I get carried away."

"..." Such dialogue from a later era is something her Second Cousin couldn’t understand, "I mean, let’s keep a low profile, just in case anyone gets envious and tries to harm us from behind, that wouldn’t be good."

Yang Mingchao laughed, "Rest assured, if I weren’t discreet, I wouldn’t have given the money to you. I just didn’t want to deposit it all at the bank at once; it’s that much money that could make people green with envy. That’s why I need to hand it over to you quickly."

Lu Jingqiu chuckled awkwardly, how could she have forgotten? Her Second Cousin was always the most prudent one.

She had just been a little too cautious, that’s all.

Fifteen thousand yuan, just like that, she could pocket so much so quickly. If this kept up for a year, wouldn’t she end up with several tens of thousands of yuan?

At dinner that evening, Jiang Nanzhou could clearly sense that Lu Jingqiu was very happy, yet when he asked her what was the matter, she wouldn’t say.

It left Jiang Nanzhou trying to coax it out of her the whole night without finding out exactly what it was.

When he returned from work that evening, seeing the stack of money on the table, he quickly shut the door, fearing the money would be exposed, "This?... Whose money is this?"

Lu Jingqiu came out of the kitchen, holding a braised fish in her hand, and said with a smile, "It’s my money."

Jiang Nanzhou raised an eyebrow, looking at the sumptuous dinner and the stack of money, as if he understood why his wife had been so happy the day before, "Is it... Did your work win another award?"

Lu Jingqiu shook her head, "It’s the dividend Second Cousin gave me."

"Dividend? How much did you invest, and in such a short time?"

"Almost ten thousand yuan. Second Cousin has made this much in the past two months, Here, this is my share, and the remaining ten thousand is for me to help him buy a house."

Jiang Nanzhou had seen ten thousand yuan before, but he was still shocked by how much had been made in such a short time and laughed, "When I married you, I didn’t expect my wife to be able to earn so much money."

Lu Jingqiu laughed out loud, "Yeah, yeah, did I marry the right person?"

"Yes, yes, nobody has a wife as good as mine."

His wife earning money pleased Jiang Nanzhou as well, and that evening, he even broke his usual habit and drank a small glass of alcohol. Due to his profession, he dared not let himself get drunk.

He said he would accompany her to deposit the money the next day.

Originally, Lu Jingqiu had spent all her wedding dowry and the money given by her grandparents on buying a house, leaving her financially uncertain.

Now, just right, Second Cousin had given her so much dividend.

Well, besides their everyday expenses, Jiang Nanzhou’s ten thousand yuan had remained untouched. With this addition, they had over twenty thousand yuan in savings at home.

Yeah, yeah, their little life was satisfying without worries for food and clothing, Lu Jingqiu couldn’t be more content.

"By the way, something has happened to the Gao Family. Has Gao Qing come to see you these last few days?"

"What happened?"

Seeing her expression, Jiang Nanzhou knew his wife was not one for gossip, "Aunt Gao found out about Uncle Gao and the Wei Family’s affair. That day, Gao Qing beat up Xia Lin, and the child was lost."

"Ah..." Xia Lin lost her child?

This lifetime was indeed different. It had been over two years and Xia Lin’s first child still hadn’t arrived. The trajectory had completely changed.

Qingqing caused Xia Lin to lose her child, would Gao Shu let it go?

For a moment, Lu Jingqiu had a multitude of questions. Should she go see Gao Qing?

The next day, Lu Jingqiu, with a bulging crossbody bag, followed Jiang Nanzhou to the nearby bank.

After they processed the deposit, the staff member, seeing that she wanted to deposit such a large sum, eagerly led them to a private office inside.

They were very enthusiastic, asking many questions, to which Lu Jingqiu simply smiled and did not elaborate.

Jiang Nanzhou sat next to her with a serious face, making the staff member less inclined to pry.

They helped them process the deposit service enthusiastically.

When they came out, they happened to meet Big Sister-in-law Xia in the lobby, by sheer coincidence.

Xia Lin’s big sister-in-law seemed not to see her. Lu Jingqiu glanced at her and then followed Jiang Nanzhou back.

Thinking to herself, Big Sister-in-law Xia must have been depositing money as well, since Xia Lin’s clothing workshop must be doing well recently.

But now that Xia Lin was in the hospital, why would she run over here to deposit money?
