A car accident, our family of three crossed

Wang Jin did not have any classes that afternoon. After having lunch at Hang's family, he went to Sun's family to pick up his wife and returned to the county town.

After sending his wife home, he said he had to go out to do something, and after saying a few words, he left.

When he came back, it was already afternoon. He not only bought cooked food and some rice, flour, grain and oil, but also carried a small bag.

When Sun Baomei went to open the door for him, she saw him carrying so many things and asked in surprise, "Wow! Brother Jin, why did you buy so many things?" She reached out to help him take some, but he dodged her by moving sideways.

"Baomei, don't move. They're quite heavy. I can handle these things by myself. Just go sit down! Watch your step and don't trip."

Sun Baomei didn't listen to him and went to sit down, but stepped aside to let him in.

The man was caring to her, and she felt so sweet in her heart. How could she bear to sit there and watch him busy himself?

She followed him into the kitchen. Since he didn't need her help, she would just accompany him.

Wang Jin poured the rice and flour into the jar, put the grain, oil and salt in place, and put the cooked food on the plate. Then he said, "I bought some cooked food, so we don't have to cook tonight."

Sun Baomei was no longer in a hurry to ask him questions. She quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat, and then poured him a bowl of water. "You must be tired. Have a drink first."

Wang Jin drank up the water in the bowl in one gulp, then pulled her out of the kitchen and said as he walked, "Come on! I'll show you something."

"What?" Sun Baomei had no idea what he was saying, so she let him take her back to the house.

Wang Jin first asked her to sit down on the chair, then he placed the small bundle in front of her and raised his chin, "Open it and take a look."

Seeing how mysterious he was, Sun Baomei became very curious and couldn't wait to see what was inside the package.

After opening the bundle, she saw that inside was a small and exquisite brocade box. Just by looking at the box, she liked it very much. "Brother Jin, what's in it?"

"Just open it and you'll know." Wang Jin didn't say it directly. Only by letting her open it with her own hands would it be considered a surprise.

Sun Baomei carefully opened the brocade box and saw a jade bracelet lying quietly inside. It was crystal clear and warm, and very beautiful. She fell in love with the bracelet at first sight.

"Here, this is, Brother Jin, is this bracelet for me?"

"Yes!" Wang Jin responded, took out the jade bracelet from the brocade box and put it on her hand, "How is it? Do you like it? It suits you very well."

"Yeah! I like it, it looks very nice, I like it so much." Sun Baomei reached out and touched the bracelet on her wrist. She couldn't let it go because of the cool and smooth touch.

But soon, she seemed to have thought of something, and quickly took off the bracelet and put it in the brocade box, then looked at Wang Jin and said reluctantly: "This bracelet must be very expensive, right? Brother Jin, why don't we take it back?"

The family didn't have much savings. He took away twenty taels of silver a few days ago, and there wasn't much left in the family's small treasury.

As for the twenty taels he took away, he just said it was useful at the time. Could it be that he took it to buy this bracelet?

If buying a bracelet for herself would make her family live in poverty, she would never wear the bracelet.

As soon as Wang Jin saw the look on his wife's face, he knew that she was worried about the money, so he stroked her hair lovingly and said with a smile, "I bought it for you, so there's no reason to return it. Just wear it with confidence! Our family is not short of money now."

After he finished speaking, he took out a purse from his arms, took her hand and put the purse in her hand.

"Is this all the property our family has now? Please count it." After exchanging the silver from the gambling house, he went to the money house and exchanged the silver for silver notes.

Sun Baomei poured all the silver bills and some silver and copper coins in her purse onto the table.

When she saw the silver bills and broken silver coins on the table, her eyes widened, and she looked at Wang Jin in disbelief and asked, "Brother Jin, where did our family get so many silver bills?"

"Didn't I ask you to give me twenty taels a few days ago? Do you remember?" Wang Jin explained to her the origins of the silver bills in a casual manner.

After listening to this, Sun Baomei realized a fact, that is, these banknotes belonged to their family from now on.

How could this be so unreal?

She covered her mouth, laughed foolishly, and whispered, "Brother Jin, does this mean our family has made a fortune? I have never seen so much silver!"

Wang Jin was amused by her silly look. How could this be just the beginning? Just a few hundred taels, even if he had made a fortune, his young wife was so easily satisfied!

Although Sun Baomei was happy, she also knew that she had taken great risks to get these silver coins. She couldn't help but glared at him and said, "But, Brother Jin, you are really too bold."

How can they just lend a hundred taels of silver? That's if they win, but what if they lose? When will they have to pay back the hundred taels of silver?

Wang Jin smiled and did not continue the topic with her. Instead, he asked her to quickly take out the cash box at home and keep the banknotes.

Sun Baomei's attention was diverted by his words. She quickly took out the money box and collected the scattered silver bills and silver coins on the table.

Wang Jin gently stroked her slightly bulging belly and said, "Our family is not short of money now. Next time I have a day off, I will go to the carriage and horse shop and buy a donkey cart."

He commutes between the county town and Shangtang Village every day, so he must have his own means of transportation. Even if it is hard for himself, he cannot let his wife suffer by following him back and forth all day long.

"Yes! I will listen to you, brother." Now that the family has so much money, Sun Baomei no longer hesitated and agreed obediently.

"Okay, put the money box away quickly. It's time for us to eat. I bought your favorite pork elbow."

"Thank you, Brother Jin."

Sun Baomei has now passed the worst stage of morning sickness, and her appetite has gradually improved. She no longer feels like vomiting when she smells anything.

The couple chatted and laughed while having dinner, and went to bed early after dinner.

The next day, as usual, I went to the city gate and took a ox cart to Shangtang Village.

The swaying sound along the way made Wang Jin more determined to buy a donkey cart, especially one with a carriage, so that his wife could sit inside and no longer be exposed to the wind and sun.
