After the female supporting character in the quick transmigration series realized her mistakes

Chapter 116, Section 90: The White Moonlight Can Only Be Admired from Afar (48)

Zheng Jin comforted her, "Alright, alright, I already showed you! Zhang Xing gave me over 20,000 yuan the other day, and I used that money specifically to buy you jewelry."

"Anyway, we don't have any urgent need for money right now. I can earn more money later. The business we're doing now is quite stable, so we won't be short of money. Don't worry."

Wen Yi remained silent. Actually, she wasn't worried, but she was a little heartbroken about spending so much money all at once.

Wen Yi then thought about the future price of gold. She had dreamed about the price of gold and cried with envy. So, she decided to consider what she was buying now as an investment.

So she cheered herself up and said, "Let's go have hot pot to celebrate."

Wen Yi handed the gold jewelry to Zheng Jin for safekeeping: "Keep the gold safe, or someone might steal it."

"Don't worry, I put it in my fanny pack, right next to my body! And my coat covers it up completely."

The couple walked along chatting and laughing. Wen Yi looked at the new bracelet on her wrist and felt incredibly happy. Her smile was brighter than any blooming flower.

Zheng Jin held Wen Yi's hand and said happily, "Since you like it so much, I'll definitely buy it for you often in the future."

Wen Yi nodded happily, and the two walked hand in hand toward the restaurant. The setting sun cast long shadows of them, and the air was filled with the scent of happiness.

Wen Yi and her companion arrived at a popular hot pot restaurant in the county town. It was lunchtime, and the restaurant was already packed with people.

The two didn't bother looking for seats and simply asked a waiter. The waiter, with the menu, led Wenyi and the other to an empty table.

Then the menu was handed to Wenyi, who ordered a spicy hot pot base, as well as some side dishes and meat dishes that she liked.

She then handed the menu to Zheng Jin, letting him choose his favorite dishes.

When the two started eating, Zheng Jin took meticulous care of Wen Yi. Zheng Jin really liked this way of getting along. Eating hot pot with the person you love is a special kind of happiness.

With a mouthful of steaming hot pot and the other person's smile, one feels warm and sweet.

In Zheng Jin's eyes, Wen Yi saw nothing but love and care. At that moment, Wen Yi understood what true happiness was.

……

After the two had eaten and drunk their fill, night had fallen. Zheng Jin and Wen Yi held hands and headed towards Zheng Jin's small apartment in the county town.

After walking for a short while, about ten minutes, they arrived at a residential area. Because it was too dark, Wen Yi couldn't see what the residential area looked like at all.

Zheng Jin put his arm around Wen Yi's shoulder and described the neighborhood to her as they walked, as well as the exact location of his residence.

They lived on the third floor of Building 2, which required climbing stairs. Just as the two opened the door, their neighbor across the street, perhaps having heard the noise, opened the door with a creak and poked their head out.

Upon seeing Zheng Jin, he exclaimed with delight, "Oh, it's Xiao Zheng! It's been so long since you've come back. Did you go back to your hometown?"

"Oh, yes, it's me. I haven't been back for a while because I went home to get married. This is my wife," Zheng Jin said, introducing Wen Yi to the neighbor, Grandma.

When the neighbor, Auntie, saw Wenyi, her eyes lit up, and she kept praising her: "This girl is so pretty, she looks so well-behaved, and she's so likable. Xiao Zheng, you're so lucky."

Zheng Jin felt incredibly happy listening to his grandmother praise Yi Yi, as if he himself had been praised.

He quickly took out a handful of milk candies from the small bag Yi Yi was carrying and stuffed them into the neighbor's hand. "Madam, these are our wedding candies. Please try them and sweeten your mouth."

These are wedding candies; Grandma won't stand on ceremony with people.

After receiving the candy, he praised the young couple to the skies, his words as sweet as honey, making Zheng Jin feel incredibly pleased.

The three chatted for a while longer before heading home.

Zheng Jin led Wen Yi into the house. The 80-square-meter house had two bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen, and a bathroom. Although it was simple, it was very clean and full of the warmth of home.

Zheng Jin led Wen Yi to his bedroom, took out a brand new set of pajamas and handed it to her, "You must be exhausted, take a shower and change your clothes."

"Has this house been uninhabited for a long time? How come it's still so clean?"

Zheng Jin: "Not long ago, I cleaned it last month. I was thinking of keeping the house clean so that whenever we come, we can stay comfortably."

"Oh." Wen Yi took the pajamas and went into the bathroom.

When Wen Yi came out after taking a shower, she saw Zheng Jin boiling brown sugar water in the kitchen.

Zheng Jin smiled as soon as he saw her: "We had hot pot for dinner, and I was worried your stomach might be upset, so I gave you some brown sugar water to warm it up." Wen Yi felt a sweet warmth in her heart and picked up the bowl to drink it in small sips.

After drinking the brown sugar water, the two sat on the sofa, and Zheng Jin gently embraced Wen Yi and turned on the TV.

Seeing the television, Wenyi's curiosity was piqued again. "Why are there televisions everywhere?"

Zheng Jin: "We bought this TV together with the one we have at home. After I bought it, I came here to have it installed before going home. Anyway, we're going to move to the county town sooner or later, and you like watching TV, so we just bought it together."

Wen Yi nodded indifferently, listened to the old movie playing on TV, leaned against Zheng Jin's chest, and unknowingly dozed off.

Zheng Jin carefully picked her up and placed her on the bed, then covered her with the blanket.

The next morning, sunlight streamed through the curtains onto the bed. Wen Yi woke up to find Zheng Jin still fast asleep, his face appearing especially gentle in the morning light.

Wen Yi quietly got up, intending to make breakfast. Just as she was busy in the kitchen, Zheng Jin also woke up, walked into the kitchen, and hugged Wen Yi from behind.

She whispered, "It's so good to have you." At that moment, happiness once again filled this small home.

As the two ate breakfast, Zheng Jin said with a grin, "After we finish breakfast, let's go take a look at the house."

Wen Yi blinked and asked curiously, "How many houses have you bought?"

Zheng Jin scratched his head and replied with a sheepish smile, "Not many, just two small houses."

Wen Yi looked at him and asked playfully, "Do your parents know you've bought so many houses?"

Zheng Jin shook his head vigorously: "I don't know, nobody knows, not even Zhang Xing."

"I'm not telling them any of this. It's much better to make money quietly! If you tell others, they won't be envious, they'll just be jealous and talk badly about you. There's no need for everyone to know."

After saying that, Zheng Jin looked at Wen Yi with a smug grin and told her all about his little scheme.

“The most crucial thing is that my older brother and I haven’t separated our family property yet. If I buy a house in the county town, my parents will definitely favor my brother when it comes time to divide the property. They will also try to stop me by saying things like, ‘You already have a house in the county town, and your brother isn’t even married yet, so you should give him a bigger share.’”

Wen Yi nodded in agreement and praised him with a smile: "It's great that you understand these things. Nowadays, relatives can't stand to see you doing well. They hate that you have something, laugh at that you don't, despise that you're poor, and fear that you're rich. So they secretly make money. How shrewd of them!"
