Chapter 291: Chapter 291: The Channel to Make Money
“Mm, you’re always so thoughtful.”
Su Wanyu first complimented him and then urged, “Then let’s hurry up. The longer Mianmian stays with Zhaodi, the more restless I get.”
But Jiang Changhai didn’t agree immediately as usual. Instead, he comforted her in a low voice, “Wife, don’t be anxious. Listen to me first. Transferring schools isn’t easy. I’ve asked around, and our current situation doesn’t really fit the requirements. To enroll in the local school, we need a local household registration. I’m still a temp worker, and can’t transfer family quotas over. We need to buy a house first.”
Upon hearing this, Su Wanyu started to worry, “What should we do, Brother Hai? With the little money we have, when will we ever save enough to buy a house? Zhaodi is like a ticking time bomb that could explode at any moment.”
“It’s okay, wife, don’t worry. These past few days at the transport factory, I discovered a secret,” Jiang Changhai said mysteriously.
“What secret?” Su Wanyu asked unenthusiastically, not in the mood for gossip.
“I found out that the other workers at the transport factory don’t depend on their salaries alone. They all have other ways to make money,” Jiang Changhai whispered even more quietly.
“Other ways to make money? What do they do?” Su Wanyu immediately brightened up, asking eagerly.
Jiang Changhai’s eyes also sparkled, “The truck drivers running to big cities like Haicheng and Haizhou would buy rare items that are hard to find around here while their trucks are being unloaded. They sell them at high prices later and make quite a bit of money each time.”
“Is that so?” Su Wanyu was hearing this for the first time.
“Yeah, it’s really profitable. I’m thinking of joining them. It won’t take many trips to save enough for a house, but I need to get to know those drivers better first.”
Su Wanyu was somewhat concerned, “Brother Hai, is there any danger in this? You are the pillar of our family; nothing can happen to you.”
She was worried about her daughter’s safety, but she didn’t want Jiang Changhai to take risks either.
“Don’t worry, wife, it’s not considered a big secret at the transport factory. The bosses know about it too; they just turn a blind eye. It won’t be a problem,” Jiang Changhai, who was always bold and daring, assured her.
Seeing his wife so concerned about him touched his heart.
“As long as it’s safe, just make sure you put your safety first before doing anything,” Su Wanyu instructed.
Meanwhile, Jiang Mianmian, in the system space, was moved to tears by her parents’ every word, all meant to protect her.
She felt invigorated and decided to study an extra hour from now on!
To become a top student sooner and repay her parents for their love and sacrifices!
The system was very pleased to see her so motivated; the transformation from underachiever to top student was finally showing results.
A cause for celebration, indeed!
The next day, Jiang Changhe decided not to take his daughter to school, “Zhaodi, Dad’s going to work in the fields. From now on, you’ll go to school with your Uncle and Mianmian. Study hard and listen to your teacher, you got it?”
“Got it, Dad. You can count on me.” Zhaodi had heard this so many times in the past few days that she was almost sick of it.
She wasn’t really an eight-year-old kid!
But Jiang Changhai walked quickly, his long strides covering three times the distance of Zhaodi’s with each step.
