Mixed in 1980

Chapter 166: Ali's Feelings

"Zhao Yuanyuan, I'm your brother, can't you think of me a little better?"

Chen Fan was not in a good mood, but more importantly, he felt guilty. Once this layer of window paper was broken, no one could have imagined which direction things would develop.

The blessing of having many wives is certainly enviable, but it also comes with many problems and responsibilities.

The 1980s was not the materialistic world of later times. At that time, as long as you had money, it would not be a problem to have a wife or even a dance troupe.

In this materialistic world, many beauties make money by relying on their looks. They don’t care how many wives you have, they just want to have one and sit back and enjoy the fruits of their labor.

She says she can't marry someone who has no car or house; if someone has a car and a house, she will ask them if they have a loan, as she doesn't want to pay off the loan together with them after marrying them; when asking for a betrothal gift, she says what she wants is an attitude, as if the purpose of getting married is to achieve a class transition.

It was not like this in the 1980s. People looked for partners with good character. Once they held hands, they were committed to being together for life. Having lovers on both sides was just a pipe dream.

The Women's Federation can even take you to parade on the streets!

Chen Fan couldn't help but think of the Huang He family of three whom he had personally put in jail. In this day and age, having promiscuous relationships between men and women could sometimes be fatal.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen."

Xu Jinqiu rolled her eyes at Zhao Yuanyuan, took Chen Fan's arm, and smiled slightly, "Don't worry, at most you'll get a few cold stares."

"Student Qiu'er, tell me the truth, what excuses have you prepared?" Chen Fan couldn't help but worry. This girl was so mysterious.

"Don't ask. If you ask, I won't tell you."

Xu Jinqiu raised her eyebrows. She knew very well that with Chen Fan's personality, it was impossible for him to agree with her words. Rather than that, it would be better not to say anything.

The top priority is to resolve the issue.

Chen Fan was helpless. Both of his wives were very tight-lipped and he couldn't get any information out of them despite coaxing and tricking them several times. Now it seemed that he could only ask them later.

After returning home, Chen Fan took out the quotation sheet and called the girls over: "Go through it first, and tick the ones you like."

"What is this? Are they all jade artifacts?"

Xu Jinqiu looked at the quotation sheet, frowned slightly, and couldn't help but pat him: "If you still like it, just tick it. You are going to spend money again."

"Student Qiu'er, this is called investment. After 20 years, the price of good jade materials will be sold by gram. We won't be 40 years old by then."

"Investment?" Xu Jinqiu nodded slightly.

This person said he wanted to invest, and she believed him: "Then choose some, how much do you plan to invest?"

Chen Fan explained the foreign exchange: "1000 million Hong Kong dollars, exchanged for 350 million yuan, in addition to buying a house, the rest is all used to buy jade."

Xu Jinqiu pulled the corner of his mouth and was speechless.

After a long while, Xu Jinqiu rolled his eyes several times and didn't want to talk anymore. With Chen Fan's current income, he could indeed afford such an investment.

Just follow his wishes. Even if the price doesn't go up, the jade itself still has value.

"Choose the bracelet first, then the others."

Xu Jinqiu's mother, Li Xiuzhen, understands jade, and she has been influenced by her since childhood. She also has some understanding of jade. Bracelet materials are rare, especially high-quality bracelet materials.

In addition to bracelets, there are also ornaments, handles, jade plaques, pendants, bracelets, etc. on the table.

Another thing is jadeite. There are also quite a few of them on the table, with the quality, color and price all clearly marked.

Seeing this, Xu Jinqiu couldn't help but smile bitterly. Who buys jewelry like this? You have to see the goods on site and carefully choose them. It's not like now. Not to mention the real thing, there are not even pictures, just a string of names.

Refer to the name and imagine the real thing?

You can only screen the quality during acceptance and eliminate those that are unsuitable.

After working until late at night, the four of them finally completed the screening. The next day, they took their household registration books and other supporting documents to the housing management office and bought the house.

Among the three families, the Xu family had the largest population and asked for the central courtyard with the most houses.

The central courtyard here, like the Chen family compound, has ear rooms in the east and west wing rooms. There are enough rooms and more space for renovation.

Zhao Yuanyuan asked for the backyard. The backyard here was not just a row of back rooms. It also had three main rooms, two ear rooms, and three east and west wing rooms each.

Compared with the central courtyard, the wing rooms do not have ear rooms.

Zeng Ali asked for the cross-courtyard, which had the same number of rooms as the backyard, but the garden was big enough, just like the cross-courtyard of the Chen family compound.

After completing the formalities, the three girls went home together without Chen Fan and asked their parents to come and see the house, which scared the elders of the three families.

The third girl did a great thing without making any noise.

Zhao Yuanyuan took her parents to the backyard and said, "Mom and Dad, our family is small, so we can refer to my godmother's house and change the three east and west wing rooms into two, making four rooms."

Zhao Dali hummed, "It's OK to change it this way, but Yuanyuan, tell me the truth, how much did you spend on this yard? Where did you get the money?"

"Dad, don't worry. This trip to Hong Kong will earn me 4 Hong Kong dollars in salary and bonus. Chen Fan also borrowed some money, which is enough to buy a house." Zhao Yuanyuan took her father's arm and said, "Besides, I have a few paintings by Master Qi Baishi. No matter what, I won't be short of money."

Zhao Dali was surprised: "The salary in Hong Kong is so high?"

Zhao Yuanyuan explained: "My elder sister and I went there to serve as assistants to Chen Fan, the chairman's assistant, which is equivalent to the vice president level, and is a senior white-collar worker."

"Then I have to thank Xiaofan. If I didn't treat you as my sister, would I be able to give you this salary?"

"Who made my godmother love me?" Zhao Yuanyuan chuckled.

"You, are just a fool with good fortune." He Yuegui looked at her and shook her head. Her own girl had not been smart since she was a child, but she was indeed lucky. She had been spoiled by someone since she was a child.

"I call this great wisdom appearing foolish."

"You are so wise, but you are just a little fool. Go to the cross-yard and take a look. I saw it at the door. The big tree in the cross-yard is more than 20 meters high."

"Mom, don't go yet."

Zhao Yuanyuan quickly grabbed her mother and said, "Eldest sister is discussing serious matters with Uncle Zeng and Aunt Liu."

He Yuegui asked curiously, "What's the matter?"

Zhao Yuanyuan scratched his head. "This matter is quite complicated. How should I put it? When they were in Hong Kong, Chen Fan, Qiu'er and the eldest sister got drunk and rolled into the same bed."

"..."

He Yuegui and Zhao Dali looked at each other in bewilderment. How could such a thing happen? How could it be good?

After a brief moment of stunned silence, the couple looked at their daughter, their eyes full of suspicion.

Zhao Yuanyuan reacted and quickly explained: "Why are you looking at me like that? I didn't. This matter has nothing to do with me."

Hearing this, the couple breathed a sigh of relief.

It’s fine if you don’t.

If I get involved in this, how should I explain it to Lao Xu?

After a while, He Yuegui finally came to her senses: "What do Xiaofan, Qiu'er and Ali think about this?"

"What else can I think? Since we're sleeping together, we can just live together. Anyway, things here are complicated and I can't explain them clearly. My eldest sister and Qiu'er are talking to our family about it now."

"..."

The couple was stunned again. Live together?

Imitate Ehuang and Nvying?

Isn't this nonsense? What kind of society is this now?

If things go wrong, the two families will have a quarrel and decades of friendship will break up.

Fortunately, my silly daughter was not involved.

The couple couldn't help but look towards the cross-yard. Mr. Zeng and Mr. Liu must be having a headache. This matter could be said to be Zeng Ali interfering in other people's affairs, or it could be said that Chen Fan was not a good son.

The most urgent task is how to solve it.

Zeng Hongwen squatted on the ground, smoking a cigarette, scratching his hair, slapping his head from time to time, and said angrily: "What kind of thing is this?"

According to my daughter, they were all drunk and she entered the wrong room.

"Dad, you don't like Chen Fan very much, so you want me to find someone like Chen Fan. Now it's exactly what you want." Zeng Ali smiled awkwardly.

"I……"

Zeng Hongwen scratched his head vigorously: "I like Xiaofan, but he is Qiu'er's boyfriend. Isn't this the same as meddling in someone else's family?"

"Qiu'er doesn't mind, so why are you worried?" Zeng Ali said angrily.

This set of rhetoric was all thought up by Xu Jinqiu, and she thought it was quite appropriate. She took all the blame on herself and tried not to blame Chen Fan.

Only in this way can the family accept it.

She also didn't want Chen Fan to be scolded by his father-in-law when he came home in the future.

"Hey...but think about it, what would your Uncle Xu and Aunt Li think? I don't know how to face them both." Zeng Hongwen took a deep puff of his cigarette.

Zeng Ali's heart twitched, and he couldn't help but feel sorry for his parents: "Dad, don't worry, Qiu'er will talk it over with Uncle Xu, and the relationship between our two families will not change in the future."
