The next day.
Cai Shuqin didn't even eat breakfast before she left the house.
Xie Pinglin, Aunt Zhang, Chen Xi, and the little girl sat at the table and ate silently.
No one said anything. Even the little guy, who always liked to make a ruckus when eating, was now as well-behaved as a kitten.
Chen Xi coughed softly, which finally broke the silence.
"Aunt Zhang, I'm going to take Niannian to Leshan to see the Buddha today, so we won't come back tonight."
While speaking, Chen Xi also touched the little girl's little head.
The little girl immediately nodded like a chick pecking at rice. While chewing, she said in a muffled voice, "I want to see the Buddha!"
Hearing this, Aunt Zhang could only nod and say, "Then pay attention to safety when you go there. There are many people in the scenic area. Don't let her run around."
"Well, don't worry."
Soon, breakfast was over, and Xie Pinglin was ready to go to work.
But at this time, Chen Xi suddenly stopped him.
"Brother Xie, let's add each other on WeChat. I'm new here and unfamiliar with the place. If I can't find the place, I'll have to ask you. "
"Oh, okay."
Xie Pinglin nodded. Then, without suspecting anything, he took out his phone and added Chen Xi.
Later, Xie Pinglin went to work, and Chen Xi sat with Aunt Zhang for a while.
When it was about ten o 'clock, Chen Xi carried the little guy and said goodbye to Auntie Zhang.
They were just going to play for two days, not to go back to Zhonghai, so the little girl was not so clingy.
Out of the door, Chen Xi bought a travel bag at the store next door and then walked into the bank next door.
Then, he sent a WeChat message to Xie Pinglin and asked for Xie Pinglin's work location.
Although Xie Pinglin was a little confused, he still returned the location to Chen Xi.
His work location was also in the first ring, but it was in the north of the city, so Chen Xi took a taxi and arrived at the door of his unit after half an hour of traffic.
Xie Pinglin thought that Chen Xi was looking for him for something urgent, so he ran out in a hurry.
But when he came out, Chen Xi didn't say anything. Instead, he directly handed the big travel bag to him.
Xie Pinglin reached out and weighed it. He found that the bag was quite heavy.
When Chen Xi released his grip, he immediately staggered.
This bag was at least forty to fifty kilograms, and he couldn't hold it with one hand, so he quickly stretched out his other hand and used a lot of strength to barely hold the travel bag in his arms.
"What's in it?"
Hearing this, Chen Xi smiled but didn't say anything. Instead, he gestured for him to open it.
Xie Pinglin put the bag on the ground and unzipped it.
But the moment he pulled it open, his whole body trembled, and then he quickly covered the mouth of the bag.
"This … this, where did so much money come from?!"
It was bright red and full of cash!
Stacks after stacks, ten thousand a stack!
The new version of the yuan was 155 millimeters long, 77 millimeters wide, and 0.1 millimeters thick.
If the banknotes were brand new, then one million on the ground would form a cuboid 31 centimeters long, 38.5 centimeters wide, and 10 centimeters tall.
This volume was almost half the size of a common desktop computer's CPU.
Of course, if there were old banknotes, then the actual volume of one million would be bigger.
"There's one million and eight hundred thousand in cash here. It's a gift to you. So, I suggest that you take a leave of absence and deposit the money into your bank account now. "
Xie Pinglin was stunned. The expression on his face was very exaggerated.
He just opened his mouth and stared at Chen Xi blankly.
Chen Xi reached out and patted him on the shoulder. Xie Pinglin suddenly felt like he had been electrocuted. His body trembled, and he quickly said, "No! I can't take your money! "
As he spoke, he wanted to zip up and return the travel bag to Chen Xi.
Hearing this, Chen Xi smiled, like a devil who was leading people to fall into hell. He whispered, "Don't you want to buy a house? Think about your wife. If your wife knew about this, do you think she would divorce you? "
Xie Pinglin was stunned again.
After hesitating for a moment, he quickly said, "No! Absolutely not! Although our family is poor, we will never take other people's money for no reason! "
Speaking of this, Xie Pinglin's movements were much firmer.
So, he zipped up, stood up, and looked at Chen Xi bravely.
At this time, there was no hesitation in his eyes. Instead, there was a trace of inexplicable anger.
Maybe he felt that he was insulted by Chen Xi's money?
Chen Xi looked at him a few times. Suddenly, he shook his head and smiled. Then, he patted the little girl's back and asked, "Niannian, uncle doesn't want our money. What should we do?"
The little girl had been greeted in advance by Chen Xi before she came, so she immediately said in a childish voice, "This is grandma's money! It's not our money! Grandma doesn't want the money. PaPa has no choice, so I can only give it to you! "
It seemed that Xie Pinglin was stunned by the 1.8 million yuan that suddenly fell from the sky. His whole nerve reaction was much slower.
Seeing this, Chen Xi could only pat him on the shoulder again and said earnestly, "You are a good son and a good husband. I know some of your family's affairs … Every family has its own difficulties. As long as it's a family matter, there is no absolute right or wrong, because you are always a family …"
"But there is something I hope you can tell your wife."
"I hope she doesn't have any prejudice against Aunt Zhang. She has been away for a few years, but she didn't bring back a penny, mainly because I was not at home these years. Without Aunt Zhang, Niannian would not have been able to live peacefully and happily to this day. "
"Aunt Zhang is a good person. She can even take care of Niannian, a child who has no blood relationship with her and has no employment relationship with her, let alone her own daughter-in-law and granddaughter."
"You are Aunt Zhang's son, and I think Aunt Zhang is half a mother to me. So I want to tell you that the money on the ground is not everything. I owe her too much, and I will slowly pay it back in the future. "
"You know your mother's character. If I give this money to her directly, she will definitely not accept it. She will even help me save it in case I have no one to rely on in the future."
"The reason why I spent so much effort to convert all this money into cash is not to show off, but because I hope you can take this money home. In the process of her asking you to deposit the money in the bank and transfer it to me, you can persuade her to accept this money with a clear conscience."
"You are a man, the head of the family. Do you understand what I mean?"
As soon as Chen Xi's voice fell, Xie Pinglin suddenly squatted on the ground and cried loudly.
On one side was his mother, and on the other side was his wife who gave birth to his child. No matter how poor her conditions were, she always complained all day, but she never left him.
If both of them fell into the water at the same time, who should he save?
This was a big problem in the world.
When faced with this problem, if he easily made the decision to choose one side and give up the other, then he would be truly childish, hopelessly childish.
There was nothing that could not be adjusted between family members.
