Color television?
Han Dazhu gasped and widened his eyes in shock. Then, he touched and kissed the box happily like a child.
Luo Xiujuan’s heart ached at the thought of how much the TV might have cost. She wanted to say something, but seeing how happy Han Dazhu was, she could only force herself to stay calm.
When the surrounding people heard that it was a television set, they opened their mouths in shock. When they heard that it was a color TV set, they could not believe what they were hearing.
Most of the villagers looked at Han Dazhu’s family enviously.
Some people reproached Qin Xi for being a spendthrift. It was a waste of money to buy such an expensive thing.
Qin Xi did not want to be surrounded and discussed by so many villagers. She said, “Grandpa, get Stone to carry the television inside. There are still many things here!”
Han Dazhu was so excited that he couldn’t stop smiling. “Oh, okay. Stone, come and move the things in. Be careful not to knock them!”
Han Shi nodded and moved the television into the house.
Seeing that the Han family was bustling with activity, Liu Dequan greeted briefly and went home.
After everything was moved into the house, the driver left.
Looking at the pile of things, Han Dazhu and Luo Xiujuan were dumbfounded, not knowing what to say for a second.
“Xi, how much did you spend on so many things?”
“No, Xi, where did you get so much money? Tell me you didn’t do anything bad, did you?”
Luo Xiujuan was most afraid that Qin Xi would go astray. She looked at the things with a worried expression.
When Han Shi heard that, his gaze left the brand new sneakers reluctantly. He looked at Luo Xiujuan in dissatisfaction and said, “No way. My wife is a capable person. She won’t do anything bad! Mom, you’re not allowed to badmouth my wife!”
Luo Xiujuan was speechless. Indeed, boys would forget their mother after getting a wife!
Qin Xi smiled sweetly and explained, “Grandpa, Mom, don’t worry. I earned the money by the sweat of my brow. As you know, I went to the county city to read a young man’s face and helped him solve a big problem. He gave me a sum of money.
“Besides, when I was taking a walk in the park, I accidentally saved a big philanthropist and also made a sum of money. Later on, I bumped into an old man at a barbeque stall… and made another sum of money. Therefore, this money of mine came from a good and legal source. If you don’t believe me, take a look.”
Qin Xi took out the passbook from her pocket.
All the money that she earned over the days amounted to a whopping 820,000 yuan.
Han Dazhu and Luo Xiujuan held the passbook with trembling hands. Their eyes were wide open as they counted the zeros on them in shock.
“One, two, three, four…”
Luo Xiujuan swallowed her saliva in disbelief and asked with a trembling voice, “Dad, how much is five zeros?”
Han Dazhu held the wall and walked towards the bed, feeling a little dizzy. He said in a daze, “Don’t ask me. I feel dizzy. Let me sit for a while.”
Han Shi pouted. “Mom, you’re so stupid. That’s 800,000 yuan. You don’t even know such simple math. You’re even dumber than me!”
Luo Xiujuan was speechless. If not for her good personality, she really wanted to slap him!
Of course, she knew that four zeros were ten thousand. She just couldn’t believe her eyes and the humongous number on the passbook.
It felt like a dream…
