My wife is in my arms

Chapter 1629 Going to Aunt Zhang's House

The setting sun painted the city sky red.

In Xu Qingya's courtyard, Jiang Yiren, standing beside a stroller, put her phone in her pocket and smiled at Xiao Lanlan, who was looking at her, saying, "Don't worry, your sister Ranran and sister Zishan will be home soon."

"How long is 'a while'?"

Five- or six-year-old Lanlan pressed for an answer.

"It will be about fifteen minutes."

Before Jiang Yiren could speak, Wang Yu reached out and ruffled her hair, saying, "Let's skip it today. When your sister Zishan comes back later, just tell her in advance to remember to invite you along when she goes somewhere else to play."

"Mmm mmm mmm"

Xiao Lanlan nodded quickly.

"Xu Qingya seems to have a lot more work after the New Year."

Jiang Yiren recalled seeing the announcements Wang Yu had arranged for Xu Qingya in the upstairs living room not long ago; they were densely packed and scheduled until July.

"Otherwise what!?"

Wang Yu countered with a question, and before Jiang Yiren could speak, she said, "If you don't seize the opportunity to make money now when it's easy to earn it, you won't be able to earn it when your popularity declines. Isn't this the reason why many artists suffer in their later years? When they could make money, they indulged in pleasure and didn't work hard, and then they had to give up. People's wealth comes in periods of time. There are certain periods when it's particularly easy to attract wealth. This is God giving this person a chance to make money. So, take advantage of this time and work hard. Once you miss this period, you'll find that money is particularly hard to earn. The key is that you've just saved up a little money when you encounter a situation where you need to spend it."

"There's such a saying?!"

Jiang Yiren asked in confusion.

"And what do you think!?"

Wang Yu laughed and said, "Think about your past. You worked even harder than my Xu Qingya, but what was the result? You still couldn't hold onto your money. You barely made any before you had to use it to pay off your husband's debts."

"That's because Mr. Zhang is good!"

Jiang Yiren somewhat disagreed with Wang Yu's words.

"Isn't it the same?"

Wang Yu replied, "Some people say that there's a fixed amount of food a person can eat and money they can earn in their lifetime. I believe that, but this fixed amount certainly doesn't mean that three million is exactly three million. Rather, the fixed amount for ordinary people is within a range, such as ten thousand to one million. Within this range, some people can turn this fixed amount into nine hundred and ninety thousand, while others only have thirty to fifty thousand. This range is related to whether or not one accepts money."

"Then tell me, what's my husband's ration?!"

Jiang Yiren asked this question in a rather annoyed manner.

Whether it's her own agent or Xu Qingya's agent, Wang Yu, they're all a bit... strange. You might say she has a high level of moral character, and it certainly seems so, but upon closer inspection, it doesn't make sense. Everything has to be predetermined.

What does that person's effort amount to?

Just like Mr. Zhang, he bankrupted himself when he was at home, but then he started working hard, and look what happened! In just two years, he not only became a king of the music scene and a capital tycoon in the entertainment industry, but he is now also expanding overseas.

Therefore, Jiang Yiren believes that if one wants to change their destiny in this life, they have to rely on hard work... rather than on any fixed amount. However, to reach Mr. Zhang's level, it seems that hard work alone is indeed not enough; talent is also required.

"Your husband's original salary wasn't high, only a few thousand or tens of thousands a month, but after marrying you, you've made him richer through marriage..."

Seeing Jiang Yiren roll her eyes at her, Wang Yu immediately changed her tone, saying, "The amount of food you're raising has increased dramatically. You can think of it this way: your husband was originally going to be completely rotten, how should I put it!"

After a slight hesitation, Wang Yu continued, "It's like... to give an analogy, imagine that instead of you, you met him, but another woman. Your husband is indeed handsome, but good looks are like plating. They look appealing and make you think they'll taste delicious, so you eat them. But after you finish eating, you find the taste is just average. Plus, your husband smokes, drinks, and gambles. How long can this marriage last? I think a normal woman wouldn't stay with him for more than two years before divorcing him. Then... your husband continues to slack off, smoking numbs his lungs, drinking numbs his nerves, and gambling stimulates his brain. Over time, he'll really be ruined. You know how much smoking and drinking affect a singer. At first, when you're young, you can handle it, but if it goes on for a long time, you'll have problems by thirty-five at most, and by forty, you basically can't do this job anymore. Your voice will be like it's been poisoned."

Jiang Yiren turned her head and looked to the side.

Little Lanlan was pushing a stroller back and forth in the yard when Jiang Yiren heard Wang Yu continue, "But it was you who appeared in Zhang You's life and chose to marry him, which rewrote his predetermined fate. If you had endured it for two years and then divorced him, Zhang You's wealth would have remained unchanged. But you endured it for so many years. I reckon even God sitting on the clouds has cast a surprised glance at you."

"roll"

Jiang Yiren laughed and scolded.

"That's exactly right. After that, your husband's wealth underwent a qualitative change, which in turn increased your own wealth. Marriage, like life, requires mutual support and achievement."

Wang Yu said earnestly.

"Have you forgotten my husband's songs?!"

Jiang Yiren gave a somewhat impatient reminder.

"Before it was brought out, I guess your husband didn't even know how well it was written, so it was bad as it was."

Wang Yu laughed and said, "You're a professional singer, you can tell the quality of a song at a glance. But for someone else... you know the entertainment industry. If you're unknown, even if you write a masterpiece, people will say your writing is incomprehensible. Once you're successful, even if you yourself think your writing is incomprehensible, many people will still say it's excellent. Your husband is a case in point. He gave you 'Ask' first, then you sang it, and the song became a huge hit, which led to his meteoric rise in fame. Only then did he have the opportunity to become a top music creator. Otherwise, you can guess what would have happened. Perhaps a couple of years ago, when someone else trampled on the lyrics of 'Ask,' the music scene lost a superstar, the film and television industry lost a financial tycoon, and the street-side card room gained a permanent ambassador. That's why I say marriage and life complement each other; it's true. You might not understand now, but I believe that when you reach my age, you'll realize how right I am."

I believe it now.

Jiang Yiren immediately replied.

I don't want you to believe me now; I want you to believe me later.

Wang Yu replied with a smile, "Regardless of what others think, I've always felt that Zhang You is who he is today because of you. Without you... he would be nothing."
