The Tempting Educated Youth Married to a Rough Man

Chapter 450: Chapter 446: Ten-Thousand-Yuan Household

Wen Ran originally wanted to torture Xiao Chenye!

To let him know, Sun Monkey couldn’t escape the palm of The Buddha.

"Wife!"

Xiao Chenye got excited, "Wife? When did you come back?"

"Hmph! I came back, but you? I’ve been waiting for you for a long time, and you only return in the dead of night! Tell me, what have you been up to?"

"Hehehe," Xiao Chenye looked at Wen Ran’s fierce demeanor, finding it amusing.

He held Wen Ran’s face and gave her several kisses.

"Wife, let me tell you, we’re rich!"

Wen Ran: "?"

Rich?

She was stunned, a bit skeptical, "Rich from what? Don’t fool me!"

"Wife, listen to yourself. When have I ever fooled you?"

Looking at the piles of ten-yuan bills on the table, Wen Ran was utterly baffled.

No, the family was well-to-do before, but not to this extent of wealth and luxury.

Their existing assets, aside from those gold, silver, and jade items, amounted to just over six thousand in cash.

In the countryside, it was a windfall, but here in the Capital City, it seemed insufficient.

But what Xiao Chenye laid out was a whopping fifty thousand.

In the 80s, becoming a ten-thousand-yuan household could get you in the papers, and this was ’78.

For Xiao Chenye to be so enterprising, is he aiming for the sky?

She grabbed Xiao Chenye by the collar, "What exactly did you do? Earned so much money? Is it from a proper source?

You didn’t rob a bank, did you?"

"Hahaha, wasn’t I always going around, thinking about making a deal? Recently, I actually found one."

"What?"

Wen Ran was curious, "Quickly, tell me the details."

Xiao Chenye’s eyes darted, embarrassed, "Actually, it wasn’t exactly legitimate, the two of us knowing is enough. If others find out, it might really be a bit..."

Wen Ran: "?"

She felt dizzy, "Come clean with me!"

"Oh dear, don’t rush."

Freeing his ear, Xiao Chenye panted heavily, "Look at you, just one trip outside and you’ve become so temperamental?"

"Yeah," Wen Ran glanced at Xiao Chenye, "I am temperamental now, so what?"

"Hehe," Xiao Chenye grinned shamelessly, "Nothing, I like you like this too."

From Xiao Chenye’s story, Wen Ran could only say, this kid’s really lucky.

He partnered with others to make deals, but as it turns out, there was no such thing as free lunch, the initial profits were just baited traps by conmen.

They hoped he would be blinded by immediate gains and act recklessly.

He drained the family’s funds and also borrowed money from neighbors.

The capital investment was colossal.

The blueprint painted by the conmen was utterly absurd.

And in the quiet of the night, his side felt empty.

Thinking of Wen Ran, his mind became clearer and clearer.

Besides his wife, who else would bring him such a pie from the sky?

Moreover, given how trouble seems to follow them wherever they go, this group didn’t seem to be good people!

Xiao Chenye’s vigilance kicked in timely, he didn’t mention it at home, but secretly found Xiao Chengguang to discuss it.

The brothers saw eye to eye and decided to play along with the scammers.

After going back and forth, the conmen, thinking their big catch wouldn’t escape, arranged for a premature celebration, only for Xiao Chenye and Xiao Chengguang to catch them in the act.

The brothers pinned the conmen right there.

Wen Ran widened her eyes, "Wait, the origin of this money is so complicated?"

But then she was bewildered, "No, the fifty thousand you have, isn’t stolen money, is it?

Aren’t you turning it in? Why are you keeping it? This is going to cause trouble, you’re really crazy, daring to keep any money."

"Tsk!"

Xiao Chenye clicked his tongue, "Listen to your temper, getting more impatient each day, I haven’t even finished speaking."

"Alright, alright," Wen Ran gave in, "I’m not rushing, take your time."

"The conmen were caught, so someone had to investigate. Eventually, they tracked down dozens of victims.

In this matter, my brother and I did make a contribution. We saved losses amounting to ten thousand.

The higher-ups gave us a thousand yuan reward, and I added another thousand from our savings, spending two thousand to buy the courtyard they used as a base."

Wen Ran: "..."

Impressive.

Her man was getting more and more impressive by the day.

He quietly bought a house.

Wen Ran held her breath, glancing at Xiao Chenye, signaling him to continue.

And Xiao Chenye duly continued.

"About the house purchase, I didn’t tell anyone, just thought I’d find someone to fix it up first, and once it was ready, I’d surprise you after you got back.

Then, while I was fixing the courtyard, I found something buried there."

Wen Ran: "?"

She was even more confused, "You, you found something? What is it?"

"All gold ingots."

Xiao Chenye swallowed, even now his heart raced with excitement, thumping wildly.

"Is this everything?"

"No," Xiao Chenye said softly, "This is only a third, I was afraid of raising suspicion selling all at once.

Changed locations multiple times, and after about a month of effort, got this fifty thousand."

Wen Ran was speechless at Xiao Chenye, silently giving a thumbs up, indeed some fools have dumb luck.

A third of the gold exchanged for fifty thousand, leaving two-thirds, which is a hundred thousand.

Wen Ran: "..."

Hard to breathe.

Worth a fortune, a real fortune.

"So, you’re saying..."

Wen Ran wondered, "Even with all the exchanges, you didn’t have to be out till midnight."

"I found another courtyard."

Wen Ran: "..."

She looked at Xiao Chenye, feeling a bit choked. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

What to say, the brat truly has some luck.

With her leading him out, even without guidance, he had grasped the pulse of future economics.

That is, buy property.

If you have money, buy property.

"Alright," Wen Ran conceded, "You should buy it, money in our hands is still money.

Besides, in the future, whether money’s worth anything is another matter.

You turn money into property, at least we can collect rent later, and that’s a form of income."

Saving money by spending it is a skill.

"Exactly," Xiao Chenye nodded, "That’s what I’m planning, and I also want to get a bigger courtyard, see if later on we can set up a business, like a small factory or something.

I hear down south they’re starting with the garment business, making huge profits, clothes costing ten bucks can double your money.

Worth a fortune, and policies are loosening up quite a bit now..."
