Yicheng, which is close to the river, although its economic level is not good, as a retirement city, it has beautiful mountains and rivers, low prices, and very welcoming people.
As its name suggests, the city is indeed quite livable.
After getting off the plane, Zhang Hao went straight to his sister-in-law's house instead of revisiting his old place.
"Dong dong dong..."
"Who?"
Today is Saturday, and the person who opened the door is my sister-in-law Zhou Xiaofu, who works in a bank and has weekends off.
"It's me, Zhang Hao."
Zhou Xiaofu's eyes widened instantly: "Brother-in-law, why did you come to my house?"
Speaking of which, the two haven't seen each other for many years.
She accompanied her mother to her brother-in-law's house several times. Unfortunately, her brother-in-law often left home on the first day of the new year and she never met him. She had no chance to persuade him.
"I came to see mom? Is mom at home?"
Zhang Hao showed the gift in his hand.
His wife and sister-in-law are biological sisters, and they look 60% alike. He has always been repulsive to each other and is afraid of hurting others when he sees them.
However, after experiencing the dream for decades, he has now completely looked past it.
The deceased is gone, life must go on.
"Mom is at home, come in quickly!" Zhou Xiaofu quickly moved out of the way, and then shouted into the house: "Mom, look who's coming?"
Mother Zhou came over and took a look, and she was immediately overjoyed:
"Zhang Hao? Am I not dazzled?"
"Mom, you are not dazzled, it is indeed me." Zhang Hao stepped forward and supported his mother-in-law.
"It seems that you have really figured it out. If Xiaolin knows something, she will feel at ease."
Mother Zhou reached out and wiped away her tears.
A few months ago, her mother-in-law talked to her about her eldest son-in-law's current situation, and she thought the other person was speaking politely.
Zhang Hao suddenly felt guilty and said: "Mom, I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for Xiaolin, and I'm even more sorry for Big Pudding and Little Pudding. Over the years, I..."
"It's all over. Seeing you like this, Mom is too late to be happy. How can I blame you?" Zhou's mother immediately interrupted.
Zhou Xiaofu on the side took the opportunity to take her daughter out: "Brother-in-law, this is my little sponge, do you want to hug it?"
"Wait a moment."
Zhang Hao let go of his mother-in-law, and then took out a jewelry box from his pocket. Inside was a longevity lock in the shape of gold and jade.
Jadeite is crystal clear and valuable at first sight.
"Little sponge, be good, my uncle will help you put it on."
"Brother-in-law, is this jade?"
Zhou Xiaofu sent her daughter to the other party's arms.
Zhang Hao teased Little Sponge and nodded: "When you got married and Little Sponge was born, my brother-in-law was absent. This jade is my compensation for you."
"Zhang Hao, how much did you pay for this thing? No matter how expensive it is, you have to tell the truth to mom."
Mother Zhou followed up and asked.
"This thing was customized by me, and the market price is about ten to ten thousand!"
Zhang Hao answered truthfully.
Nowadays, it is very convenient to identify treasures online. You can't hide it even if you want to, and he has no intention of hiding it.
Although she was mentally prepared, Zhou Xiaofu was still shocked. Although her brother-in-law's family was not short of money, 10 million was really an exaggeration.
"Brother-in-law, I can't accept this thing."
After saying that, I wanted to take off the longevity lock from my daughter's neck, but the little sponge kept holding on to it and tried several times without success.
Zhang Hao immediately stopped the other party: "Listen to me, your brother-in-law has made a fortune recently and is worth tens of billions. This little money is nothing."
"Real or false?"
Zhou Xiaofu said in surprise.
She heard from her eldest sister that although her brother-in-law's family is rich, their wealth is only a few hundred million at most. How come it has become tens of billions in just a few years?
"Zhang Hao, doesn't your family make electric blankets? Can you make so much money? Don't lie to mom."
"Mom, little sister, our company has been sold. I took the money from selling the company to start a business in Huicheng. I got lucky and made tens of billions in one fell swoop."
In order to convince the other party, Zhang Hao continued to speak:
"Have you ever heard of "Ten thousand riches?"
"A wealth of ten thousand cans?" Zhou Xiaofu thought for a while and quickly reacted: "Is it the sky-high price canned food?"
"Yes, 'Ten Thousand Pots of Wealth' is your brother-in-law's company. You can search online to see how popular it is now, and then you will know if I am lying?"
Zhou Xiaofu immediately took out her mobile phone and searched it with suspicion. Her brother-in-law was indeed right. All of them were about "crazy buying" news.
Zhang Hao smiled: "You believe it now, right?"
"Brother-in-law, are you really rich?"
Zhou Xiaofu
"That's right." Zhang Hao turned to look at his mother-in-law, "Mom, our family just moved to Huicheng two days ago. I came here mainly to pick you up and live there for a while. Big Pudding and Little Pudding miss their grandma.
”
"Mom can come and stay for a few days, but I still can't collect this jade."
Mother Zhou insisted.
If it was a gift for her, she would definitely not be polite, and at worst, it would be passed on to her grandchildren in the future.
But my little daughter can’t do it. Ten million is too much.
I simply cannot afford to repay this favor.
Zhou Xiaofu echoed: "Yes, brother-in-law, I won't be able to sleep well at night if I accept this jade, so you'd better take it back!"
Seeing that the two men were resolute, Zhang Hao knew that it was useless to persuade him, so he changed his explanation:
"Ahem, you see that Little Sponge really likes this gift. How about this, let her wear it for a while. Then when you go to my house to pay New Year's greetings, you can return it to me, okay?"
"This..."
Zhou Xiaofu glanced at her mother.
Mother Zhou no longer objected this time: "Okay, that's the decision. Xiaofu, please be careful and don't drop the jade."
"Mom, I know."
Zhou Xiaofu nodded quickly.
The more beautiful something is, the harder it is for a woman to refuse it. If given the opportunity, of course she wouldn’t mind being more pleased with it. That’s a good saying:
I don’t care about eternity, I only care about what I once had.
……
During lunch time, Zhou Xiaolin made a special phone call to call her husband Bai Jian back from the company.
This was the first time Zhang Hao saw this brother-in-law, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
Fortunately, the other party was very talkative and the atmosphere was pretty good.
Everyone was chatting, and the topic naturally turned to the hottest topic recently.
"Brother-in-law, you are well-connected. Do you have any gossip? Will the Sulfonite Volcano erupt?"
Bai Jian asked casually.
Zhang Hao picked up the wine glass and clinked it with the other party, and directly advised: "No matter whether there will be an outbreak or not, you must prepare for the worst. I suggest you stock up on more food. It won't cost much anyway."
"Bai Jian, your brother-in-law is right. Our family has just stocked up on a few bags of rice. How many days can it last?"
In fact, Zhou’s mother has been worried about this for a long time.
"No way? Is there really an end of the world?"
Zhou Xiaofu exaggerated.
Zhang Hao nodded: "This possibility cannot be ruled out, and the chance seems to be quite small."
"Brother-in-law, how did you know?"
Zhou Xiaofu followed closely and asked.
"The reason is very simple. Just look at the reactions of those rich people. Doomsday cans are so expensive, but they move hundreds of boxes home without blinking an eye. Do you think they are stupid?
”
"Wife, my brother-in-law woke up the dreamer with his words. The rich people must have better information than us. They have all taken action. We must pay attention to it."
Bai Jian's face instantly became serious.
"In case..."
Zhou Xiaofu hesitated.
Women like to live their lives carefully.
Bai Jian waved his hand: "Don't worry, I'll take half a day off in the afternoon and let's go to the supermarket together."
