Chapter 375: A Fortune at Home

Chapter 375: Chapter 375: A Fortune at Home

Several people were all sitting on the big bed, each counting money.

The final total came to 77,670 yuan, with Jian Zhiqing and Taotao’s 300 sets selling for more than 3,000 yuan in the end. However, Qin Yangnuan had promised not to charge them, so the money belonged to the two little ones, who now had a fortune in their hands. In the end, it wouldn’t actually end up in their hands, as their parents would help them save it. At most, each kid might get an extra 100 yuan in pocket money. Therefore, Qin Xiangnuan deeply sympathized with the two little fellows; clearly, they had earned a golden barrel of gold, but they couldn’t use it. The poor guys.

Qin Xiangnuan divided the 77,670 yuan into five parts, with each person getting 19,417 yuan.

That’s 20,000 yuan per person.

Each person gets 19,000, and she divided the money into four piles, one for each person. The spare 417 yuan, that’s mine, she said without blushing, because in the end they were going to give her the change anyway, since she was the one who put in the most effort.

"Wow, that’s a lot!" Qin Xiangyang took his share of the money, his hands trembling. Although they had seen several thousand yuan when they were young, it was his first time receiving so much at once. Granny Lu handed her share of the money over to Qin Xiangnuan, "Nuannuan, Granny’s share is for you. Take it. I’m not lacking money now and have no use for it."

Every month, from the snack stand Granny Lu ran by herself, she could earn nearly a thousand yuan. Qin Xiangnuan initially accepted the money, but later she steadfastly refused to take it and insisted that Granny Lu keep all of it. Granny Lu figured that ultimately, the money saved there would still end up with her grandsons.

No need, Granny keep it yourself, Qin Xiangnuan insisted on returning the money to Granny Lu. If the elderly don’t have some money on hand, they will never feel at ease. A couple Qin Xiangnuan lived with in her previous life told her this.

They worked for their children all their lives, and now in their old age, they had rented out their house and wanted to have some money on hand so that in case of illness or hospitalization, they wouldn’t have to depend on their children’s money. When their time came, if they could leave some money for their children, that would be great.

They said that when you get old, you should have more money in hand to feel secure.

Qin Xiangnuan remembered this saying, so there was a good amount of money in Granny Lu’s bank account, which Qin Xiangnuan would never claim. The rent from her few shops amounted to tens of thousands a year, which was enough for Granny Lu’s everyday needs.

"Brother, take yours too. How can a man not have any money on him?"

Qin Xiangnuan knew that her older brother was not like her. The rent was paid into her account, and her brother didn’t actually have much money. He relied on his military pay each month and, although he never spent recklessly, he saved up his military pay every month. Still, he needed some private cash, so this 19,000 yuan was his spending money.

Qin Xiangyang originally wanted to decline, but seeing his sister insist so resolutely, he ended up accepting it in the end.

As for Jian Zhiqing, he also accepted the money, fearing that if he didn’t, the young lady would give him a lengthy lecture. So it was wise of him to accept it.

After all, this money would eventually be spent on the young lady anyway.

Qin Xiangnuan hugged her money, not wanting to let it go. The banks were closed for vacation, and she’d have to wait a few days to deposit it.

"Conghua," Qin Jinuan stroked Conghua’s pointed ears.

Conghua’s ears twitched, and she lay down obediently on the ground, waiting for her owner’s admonishment.

"Now that our family has a fortune, you must guard the house well. Would it be good if all the bones at home go to you?"

"Woof woof..."

Conghua sat up straight, its doggy head held high. It did not return to its nest but instead ran to the door, responsibly acting as a guard dog. Qin Xiangnuan once again marveled at the saying ’raise a dog all your life, utilize it at the right time.’ For the sake of a bone, Conghua was finally behaving like a military dog, diligently guarding the door. It would bark loudly whenever it heard footsteps outside, sounding like it wished people would stay far away.

Qin Xiangnuan even got the spontaneous idea to put up a sign above the door: Beware of the fierce dog, enter with caution.

Qin Xiangnuan threw a large bone to Conghua, who lay at the door and started gnawing at it with its front paws, insisting on not leaving the entrance.

Qin Xiangnuan had no choice despite this approach having a hint of ’thou doth protest too much.’ Still, she felt it was safer this way since they had almost 60,000 yuan at home, which was cause for concern. Conghua seemed to know that it now had great responsibility, thus it had moved its nest over to the door.

It dragged over its bedding and definitely did not forget its food bowl.

The Qin Family was from out of town, so they didn’t have many relatives. However, they would visit The Jians and the Qiao Family, and Qin Xiangnuan would also visit the Sun Family. They must also pay a visit to Commander Xu; Qin Xiangnuan was pulling out all the stops to pave the way for her brother Qin Xiangyang.

Anyway, they had to make sure the connection with Commander Xu was well established.

Qin Xiangyang was dragged around by his sister, and he received quite a bit of New Year’s money from the elders.

Poor Qin Xiangyang, at his age, only ever received New Year’s money from Aunt Hua and Granny Lu, and this year he suddenly received so much that he was dumbfounded.

Taotao’s grandparents were quite kind people. Although they had held high positions in the past and were still in charge, they were very amiable and fond of the Qin siblings, even giving them red envelopes stuffed with 100 yuan each, which was a significant amount equivalent to several hundred or even a thousand yuan in later years.

What the Qin siblings really cared about wasn’t the New Year’s money, but the festivities. For outsiders like them, to have so many relatives during the New Year was indeed precious.

This year’s Spring Festival couplets sold well, but Qin Xiangnuan couldn’t help worrying about next year’s business. She subconsciously sniffed her sleeve.

"What’s wrong, haven’t you bathed in days?"

Jian Zhiqing also pulled Qin Xiangnuan’s sleeve up to his nose, but there was no smell.

Qin Xiangnuan quickly retracted her sleeve.

"Why are you pulling on my sleeve?" Qin Xiangnuan patted her sleeve, really wanting to kick Jian Zhiqing. Doesn’t he know that a woman’s sleeves should not be pulled randomly?

"Then what are you sniffing?" Jian Zhiqing didn’t seem embarrassed; the two had grown up together and were practically childhood sweethearts, aside from not actually running around bare-bottomed.

"I’m checking if there’s the smell of copper," Qin Xiangnuan flapped her sleeve, but there was no smell.

Hehe, Jian Zhiqing chuckled, the girl’s concerns were still so serious. At her age, she should still be in school, but here she was, always thinking about making money, and when she did put her mind to it, she managed to earn quite a bit.
