Chapter 14 Protecting New Year's Money
The elevator car vibrated slightly, making a crisp "ding" sound.
The metal door slid open slowly to both sides.
Before Chen Zhi could recover from the shock of being "forced into marriage," Zhang Jianguo had already stepped out of the elevator. His loud voice instantly pierced through the security door and struck the eardrums of everyone inside.
"Sis! Brother-in-law! Open the door! Our family's hero is back!"
Chen Zhi, carrying a stainless steel basin, looked like a wilted eggplant, dragging his heavy steps behind.
Lin Wanwan, on the other hand, was in high spirits, her short legs moving incredibly fast.
The security door opened immediately.
A rich aroma of braised pork ribs wafts over.
Zhang Guifang, wearing an apron and holding a spatula, looked at the adult and two children at the door with a puzzled expression.
"Jianguo? What are you yelling about? We can hear you downstairs."
Zhang Guifang's gaze swept over Zhang Jianguo and landed on the two children, her brows instantly furrowing into a knot.
"Chen Zhi! What are you doing with that broken basin? Are you begging for food?"
Chen Zhi hadn't spoken yet.
Zhang Jianguo was laughing so hard he was doubled over. He stepped aside to make room for the two children, pushing them to the front as if they were rare treasures.
"Sis, don't underestimate this pot, it's our Zhizhi's treasure trove!"
After changing into slippers, Zhang Jianguo placed the gifts he was carrying on the entryway cabinet and began to vividly describe the heroic act that had just taken place downstairs.
From how Chen Zhi intercepted the Audi, to the three resounding kowtows, and then to the set of auspicious words spoken in a smooth and flowing manner.
Zhang Jianguo spoke with great enthusiasm, his words even more captivating than a storyteller's.
"Do you know what's the most amazing thing?"
Zhang Jianguo kept everyone in suspense, his gaze sweeping across the faces of everyone in the room.
Chen Jun, who was sitting on the sofa watching TV, was also attracted over, holding a teacup and looking on with curiosity.
"What is it?"
Zhang Jianguo pointed to Lin Wanwan, who was blinking her big eyes and looking completely innocent.
"This little girl just called Zhizhi 'husband' right in front of me! She even said she'd hand over all the red envelopes!"
puff--!
Chen Jun spat out the hot tea he had just drunk, the water vapor drawing a rainbow in the air.
Zhang Guifang almost dropped the spatula in her hand.
The air in the room was silent for three seconds.
Immediately afterwards, a burst of laughter erupted, loud enough to blow the roof off.
"Hahaha! Oh my god, this is hilarious!"
Zhang Guifang laughed so hard she slapped her thigh, tears welling up in her eyes. She squatted down and reached out to pinch Lin Wanwan's chubby cheeks.
"Wanwan, do you know what 'husband' means?"
Lin Wanwan was somewhat bewildered by the adults' laughter.
She tilted her head and thought for a moment, then nodded with great certainty.
"I know! Mom says a husband's job is to buy delicious food and listen to his wife!"
As she spoke, she reached into her pocket and laboriously pulled out the thick red envelope that Zhang Jianguo had just given her.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone.
Without any hesitation, she stuffed the red envelope into Chen Zhi's arms.
"For Zhizhi!"
The movements were fluid and natural, clearly indicating that they had been rehearsed once in the elevator.
Another burst of laughter erupted inside the room.
Chen Jun laughed until his stomach hurt, pointing at his son and teasing, "Not bad, kid, better than your dad. You're only three years old and you already know how to live off a woman."
Chen Zhi stood there expressionless.
He skillfully took the red envelope, stacked it with his own, put it in his inner pocket, and patted it casually.
Laugh, laugh.
Dignity is worthless in the face of money.
As long as the money is in my pocket, I'd be happy to be your husband or even your uncle.
"Oh no, I can't take it anymore."
After laughing enough, Zhang Guifang finally remembered the important matter.
Her smile faded, and her gaze focused on Chen Zhi's bulging pocket, instantly exuding an aura of "motherly authority."
"Zhizhi, come here to Mommy."
Zhang Guifang spoke gently, with a kind smile on her face like that of a wolf in sheep's clothing.
"You're still young, it's not safe for you to carry so much money. What if you lose it? Here, Mom will save it for you, so you can use it when you grow up and get married."
coming.
Chen Zhi's alarm bells rang loudly.
This is a universally applicable and essential skill for parents across China: "I'll save it for you first."
In his past life, this sentence cheated him out of all his New Year's money during his childhood, and he never saw that huge sum of money again until he graduated from university.
This time, we must not repeat the same mistakes.
Chen Zhi took a half step back, clutched his pocket tightly with both hands, and shook his head like a rattle drum.
"don't want!"
The refusal was swift and decisive.
Zhang Guifang's smile froze for a moment, then she intensified her enticement.
"Be good, and Mom will buy you Kinder Surprise eggs and a big car."
As she spoke, she reached out to grab Chen Zhi.
Chen Zhi nimbly weaved through the forest of adults' legs, using his size advantage to maneuver.
"I'm not buying a car! I want to save money!"
Chen Zhi hid behind the sofa, poked half his head out, and shouted confidently.
"What are you saving money for?" Zhang Guifang laughed in exasperation. "You little brat, you want to manage your finances?"
Chen Zhi took a deep breath and decided to unleash his ultimate weapon.
He pointed to Lin Wanwan, who was still in a daze beside him, with a serious expression.
"I want to save money to buy a house!"
"My uncle just said she's a wife. Raising a wife costs a lot of money, and you need to buy a big house to live in, otherwise she'll run away!"
This statement is logically sound and unassailable.
This both echoed the joke from before and provided a perfect excuse for his greed.
Zhang Guifang's outstretched hand stopped mid-air.
Chen Jun and Zhang Jianguo exchanged a glance and burst into laughter again.
"Good! That's ambitious!"
Zhang Jianguo gave a thumbs up, tears streaming down his face, "Sister, listen to this! This awareness! This sense of responsibility! He has to keep this money himself!"
Zhang Guifang was so angry she laughed, and helplessly withdrew her hand.
"Fine, fine, you can keep it. Let's see how long you can hold onto it."
The crisis is over.
Chen Zhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
But before he could catch his breath, Lin Wanwan suddenly leaned over.
The little girl tugged at Chen Zhi's sleeve, lowered her voice, and spoke with anticipation.
"Zhizhi, we have money now, can we go buy that glowing fairy wand?"
Chen Zhi looked down at those clear, trusting eyes.
My conscience stung a little at that moment.
But only slightly.
Chen Zhi clutched his pocket even tighter and said in a serious tone, "I'm just trying to fool you."
"Not yet."
"Why?" Lin Wanwan's face fell instantly, her lips trembled, and she looked like she was about to cry.
Chen Zhi immediately switched modes, his expression becoming mysterious.
He leaned close to Lin Wanwan's ear and whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear:
"Because we don't have enough money to buy the biggest one yet."
"We're going to plant money in a jar, and next year it will grow lots and lots of little coins. Then we can buy a hundred fairy wands and bury you in them."
