Huang Jiao is also a teacher, so she certainly knows that privately taking someone elseās belongings is unethical, but faced with so much money, she was mesmerized.
But now, after her husband said this, she also felt she couldnāt do this, yet watching the money being taken away from her arms made her heart ache as if it were dripping blood.
Huang Jiao couldnāt bear it, "Guo Qi, weāve just found it. Even if we return it, itās not urgent right now. Itās already afternoon, and we donāt know where the previous homeowner lives. How about we go look for them tomorrow? Tonight, let me just experience the feeling of being surrounded by money, okay, okay?"
Lu Guoqi glanced at the sky outside. Honestly, he really didnāt know where Mei Langchi lived, but he knew Meiās father from the army, and if worst comes to worst, he could give it to Han Yi.
Though going over now does seem a bit rushed, tomorrow would be fine too.
Lu Guoqi was stunned for a while and agreed to his wifeās request.
Upon hearing this, Huang Jiao was so happy she jumped three feet high. Although she was happy, she didnāt really stay guarding the money and go nowhere. Lu Guoqi hid the money in a secret spot, then took his wife to find a tricycle to haul the furniture to a furniture factory, selling them for more than ten bucks, enough for the price of a dance mirror. The two of them went to the new furniture store and boldly bought a bookshelf and desk to bring back.
At night, Huang Jiao lay in bed, hugged the money, and lamented to Lu Guoqi, "Ah, actually placing it bundle by bundle on the bed doesnāt feel like a lot. If my dance class starts and develops as I expect, Iāll earn seventy or eighty a month, more than a thousand a year... Oh, it doesnāt seem like much. If I calculate it like this, it would take me seven or eight years to earn these sixty thousand bucks, and thatās without eating or drinking," Huang Jiao thought about this, feeling a bit dejected.
Lu Guoqi, laughing beside her, quickly comforted his wife, "Jiaojiao, you have to be confident. You said, initially it would be like this, but if you teach well, and our dance class runs for two or three years, students will definitely increase. By then, Iāll rebuild the house for you, put up a little three-story building there by the door, and recruit more students. Moreover, prices always change; your tuition will definitely increase with it, wonāt it? Itās just a few ten thousand bucks, weāll work hard and earn it ourselves honestly."
"Guo Qi, youāre not entirely wrong, but Iām just afraid I wonāt attract students, then the dance class canāt continue, and Iāll lose my official job too, ending up with nothing, thatād be something to cry about." Huang Jiao hugged the money and pouted.
"Donāt be so negative, remember the wife of my friend I told you about? Initially, she didnāt even have a formal job, hadnāt even attended a regular university, enrolled in a night school for four years studying fashion design, then explored herself at home with a sewing machine making a few clothes, took them to the train station, set up stalls by the roadside to sell, step by step, she established her own big factory. Itās just a few years, she earns hundreds of thousands a year now, not something we can compare to. Before, whoād have thought a small wife making money at a roadside stall could in the blink of an eye open a factory? Speaking of hardships, she was outside setting up stalls, facing wind and sun, far more arduous than us. Donāt you think?"
"True, if that wife at the beginning only thought like us of living a good life, saving money for the kids, who wouldāve thought she could earn this much, right?"
"Yeah, nowadays every family condition has improved, knowing the importance of knowledge, all emphasize nurturing kids, Jiaojiao, if we have kids, would you want them to learn more things?"
"Of course, weād certainly only have one kid, right? At home, itās just him, weād definitely want to nurture him well, hoping for his future success," Huang Jiao said then adds, "Guo Qi, but even if my dance class is fully open, I can only recruit one or two hundred students, thereās no development trend."
Lu Guoqi really wasnāt quite knowledgeable about this; now he really didnāt know how to console her. Just as he was pondering, Huang Jiao spoke again, "Guo Qi, didnāt you say your comradeās wife is in the Capital City? When will you take me there to see her? I want to see what kind of person could grow from a roadside vendor to a big factory owner, Iāll ask that Saozi for advice, okay?"
"She just had a kid and is resting, someday after we organize well here, bring some gifts, Iāll take you to meet her."
"Hmm... asking directly like this... wonāt it be too abrupt?"
"Itās okay, weāre classmates and comrades, used to be in the same army, weāre close," Lu Guoqi could only assure his wife this way, though he himself was uncertain inside if Han Yiās wife would agree to their visit, considering how precious she was to him.
Oh well... his wife is precious too, asking her a few questions wonāt cost much.
The next day, Lu Guoqi took a few ten thousand bucks to the army, initially went to find Mei Shuping, but he wasnāt in the office today.
On his way back, he happened to bump into Han Yi, thinking of the relationship between Mei Langchi and Han Yi, it should be fine to give it to him.
Lu Guoqi saw Han Yi and without saying a word, grabbed him by the shoulder and took him to a secret place.
