Chapter 396: Chapter 370: He Deserves It (Thanks to Alliance Master Shui Yuqing for the reward +2)

Xiao Qian really didn’t expect it; she miscalculated.

Yu Xiaoqiang managed to save Xiao Qian from the mountain valley within several hours and even noticed the secret code she left on the roadside, but he didn’t notice the little secret code inside her wallet even after waiting for several days!

Yu Minglang’s vacation was limited, and as she started school, he would be busy with work. It was only these last two days left, so he hurried to spend time with Xiao Qian. Once he returned, it wouldn’t be easy to meet again.

It just so happened that Xiao Qian’s house was being demolished, so he came to help Jia Xiufang move and check out the workers she hired.

Jia Xiufang obtained two storefronts, both with small areas but located in a good area. It was Xiao Qian’s idea, but what she didn’t expect was that when Jia Xiufang signed the demolition agreement, she directly put one of the 40-square-meter storefronts under Xiao Qian’s name, as a betrothal gift from her mother’s family.

The other storefront was under Jia Xiufang’s name, and it was agreed that once Chen Zilong came of age, it would be transferred to him as a source of livelihood. Jia Xiufang inherited a three-room apartment from her grandma, and the original area wasn’t enough, so she made up for it with the demolition money.

Xiao Qian originally intended to get a smaller house, a two-room apartment, and leave some money for Jia Xiufang to spend, but Jia Xiufang insisted on a three-room apartment. She wanted to make sure that when her daughter returned to her mother’s home after getting married, she would have a place to sleep.

Now, Xiao Qian has one house, a new Bora car, over 200,000 yuan in savings, and a storefront under her name. Yu Minglang was instantly outdone, and Xiao Qian became a rich woman.

Xiao Qian wasn’t surprised that her future in-laws entrusted her with such a significant financial power. Given Father Yu and Mother Yu’s affection for her, it would be strange if they didn’t. They dared to give Xiao Qian this financial power, and she dared to accept it. There was no need to be shy since they were engaged.

Yu Minglang was happy to let go of the control and let her manage the finances. The money they received from their wedding banquet was all given to Xiao Qian without question. When Xiao Qian told him that she planned to invest some money in stocks and mutual funds, Yu Minglang recommended a few options to buy.

As he didn’t have an ID card, he couldn’t open an account, so he left these things to Xiao Qian. Although she had some impressions of the stock market from her past life and could make long-term investments, she couldn’t be too precise about the specific operations and needed to listen to Yu Minglang for short-term investments.

Yu Minglang analyzed the market trends for her, and Xiao Qian understood completely. She followed his advice and invested in several stocks and mutual funds in batches, leaving over 100,000 yuan for investing in physical assets when the opportunity arose.

She didn’t hide anything from him; though the money was in her account, she would still consult Yu Minglang and listen to his opinions when deciding where to spend it.

Although Yu Minglang had been devoted to his work at the old unit for many years, he had his unique insights in this aspect. Since he had now found Xiao Qian, he could guide her. Xiao Qian felt that if she stopped being a psychologist, she could definitely become wealthy under Xiao Qiang’s guidance as a securities analyst.

She only found out now that sometimes, when her eldest brother needed to make significant investments, he would come to consult Yu Minglang. No wonder Yu Minglang dared to buy houses from his brother at a lower price; the value he created for his brother was way more than just a few houses.

The Old Yu Family had better information than outsiders, and they had a good grasp of the general investment direction. With the talents of Yu Minglang and his eldest brother, it would be difficult not to make money. Previously, Yu Minglang didn’t dabble in this because his material desires were low and he had devoted all his energy to the training at his old unit, so he didn’t have much opportunity to spend money. Earning some pocket money was enough. But now that he has a fiancée and his own company, he wants to give Xiao Qian the best environment, so when Xiao Qian is eager to make progress, he will give her advice.

The two of them discussed everything together with open hearts, and neither held any reservations against the other. The Old Yu Family received more than 1 million yuan in betrothal gifts from the engagement banquet, and, including the additional money from a few uncles and from the second brother, the total reached 2 million yuan. All of it was placed in Xiao Qian’s account and was acquired without inviting any outsiders, so if Father Yu had been slightly more extroverted, they would have collected even more.

Although Father Yu valued family traditions and simplicity, many of their relatives were doing business, so they naturally couldn’t give too little. This was unavoidable as they had also given to them in the past.

Xiao Qian didn’t dare let Jia Xiufang know about this, as she was inexperienced and would be easily frightened by any small matter. Rather than make her mother worry, she would quietly make a fortune and use the money to care for her mother.

Jia Xiufang only knew that her future in-laws were low-key and wouldn’t receive gifts from outsiders. She had no idea that their relatives would show such great affection, and Xiao Qian didn’t tell her, so as not to make her worry for nothing.

However, Jia Xiufang did know that Mother-in-law gave Xiao Qian a house and Eldest Brother gave her a car. At first, she felt uneasy and insecure, but Yu Minglang frequently came to her house to help with chores and demolition work, without any sense of entitlement. Only then did Jia Xiufang feel at ease.

After the wedding banquet, Yu Minglang started to get busy with Xiao Qian’s family matters. Demolishing the house was not difficult; bulldozers could finish the job in half a day. However, he also needed to help Jia Xiufang find a new location for her store.

Before the resettlement house was built, Jia Xiufang had to rent a place for a while. She initially didn’t want to give up her dry-cleaning business, but as Xiao Qian arranged a recycling job for her, she had no choice but to sell the equipment. Before moving into the new house, she rented a place not far from Da Long’s school.

Xiao Qian originally wanted to lend the house Mother-in-law gave her to Jia Xiufang, but Jia Xiufang refused, claiming the distance to Chen Zilong’s school was too far and it was inappropriate for her to bring her whole family to live in the betrothal gift given to Xiao Qian. Even when Yu Minglang invited Jia Xiufang and Chen Zilong to temporarily stay in his duplex, she turned down the offer for the same reason.

On the day of the demolition, Jia Xiufang watched her old house that she had lived in for many years being destroyed, with tears streaming down her face. Many neighbors were crying as well; they looked forward to the demolition, but now that it was happening, they felt an indescribable sadness. The house, built brick by brick with their own hands, was now gone, and a new life was about to begin.

Xiao Qian didn’t have the same sentimental thoughts as Jia Xiufang. She knew that their life would get better day by day after the demolition, and there were too many unhappy memories of her and her mother in that old house. It wasn’t a pity that it was gone.

Now, her main concern was the man who had been helping her family through it all.

Darling, haven’t you discovered the secret in the wallet yet? You deserve to bleed, keep bleeding!
