Chapter 983: Jin Gen Has Returned

“Then, I will have to save more eggs.” Changsheng’s mother was counting. There are around ten chickens at their house and they laid about five to six eggs per day. After 10 days, there would be 50 eggs. Moreover, including at least another 50 which Yan Huan earned throughout this month, they will have more than 200 eggs per month. Although they won’t earn much in a month, just about 200 yuan, but after one year, it will become 2,000 yuan. When that time comes, they can finally build a house since in their village, building a house just requires a few thousand yuan.
Also, they have more land this year since Changsheng had developed so many wastelands. If the harvest is good, the vegetables and other things they plant in their house can be sold. Either way, their house will be built by the end of this year.
Then, her son can also get a wife.
Changsheng’s mother was thinking about these in her heart. She also wanted to discuss this matter with Xiao Yan, so that she could be assured and decide on an auspicious day.
However, things do not always go as planned.
Maybe you can never plan out your life. There is always a difference between what you think and what actually happens. Sometimes the difference is small; sometimes it would be tremendous.
Yan Huan hugged her pillow and took out the 8,000 yuan inside. While she was selling eggs with Changsheng recently, she inquired the way to get to the nearest station from here, how long will it take, and where to change trains. She roughly knew the route, but when she was going to leave, it snowed. The snow was not lighter than the snow during winter. It almost covered the whole mountain. When pieces of white snowflakes fell on people, it might not be cold but in Yan Huan’s heart, she could not help but feel a little depressed.
Why did it snow again? Once it snows, she would not know how long she would have to wait until she can return home.
The road outside made it difficult to walk. For such snow to melt, it might take another half a month.
She placed the pillow properly and covered the pillow with her quilt. She was not worried about the money because Changsheng and his mother never entered her room and would not simply take her things, so the money was safe here.
A total of 8,000 yuan. She wanted to leave 5,000 for Changsheng’s mother. The remaining 3,000 should be enough for her travel and living expenses to return to Sea City.
However, when she was going to go out to collect firewood, she noticed that something seemed to happen in the village. Everyone was gathered together in discussion.
“What’s going on? Did something happen in the village?”
Yan Huan asked Changsheng’s mother.
“Nothing.” Changsheng’s mother did not say much, “It’s just that Jin Gen has returned. He was well-dressed. I heard that he made a fortune.”
Yan Huan frowned. Why did that person return? He even made a fortune. Speaking of making a fortune, Yan Huan did not really believe that Jin Gen, who pilfered, could make a fortune. To be frank, he was just a small bludger who did nothing. He idled around all day and was ignorant. He couldn’t do labor work nor was he literate. Even if he was given a good chance, he may not be able to make anything out of it, unless he had picked up money from the ground or won the lottery out of luck.
Yan Huan did not believe these. Who knew if he did some illegal things somewhere? Only this way was the fastest way to earn money, which is why anyone can do it.
The fact that Jin Gen was gone had nothing to do with her. When he returned, it had nothing to do with her too. Even if he became a millionaire, it still had nothing to do with her at all.
Yan Huan also did not take these things to heart. Of course, it was not until the next day when she saw Jin Gen who had made a fortune like what Changsheng’s mother said. Jin Gen was wearing a black suit and a pair of leather shoes that were well polished. He even wore a flaunty pink tie. Seeing him dressed like this in such snowy weather, she wondered if he would freeze to death.
Indeed, his present appearance is better than the villagers’ and he looks like the townspeople. However, no matter how nice his clothes are or how good looking his face is, they cannot hide the filthiness in his bones.
Even if he wore an imperial robe, he still would not look like an emperor. That was used to describe people like Jin Gen.
Jin Gen skimmed over Yan Huan and the corners of his mouth opened. Now, his gaze now was full of contempt.
“I was wondering who it was, ugly woman?”
Jin Gen humphed and continued wearing his suit around the village to show off. He was completely unafraid of freezing himself to death.
Everyone in the village was talking. Jin Gen had not been gone for long, yet he managed to make a fortune, or at least they assumed based on his dressing. Nonetheless, he looked very stylish. They also heard that the money Jin Gen brought back this time was in stacks and filled up an unknown amount of boxes. Jin Gen’s mother started to get very ecstatic and proud as well as she began to look down on many things.
Yan Huan placed the firewood she collected outside the house and washed her hands. Then, she walked into the kitchen and took some hot water for herself with a bowl. After that, she went out with the bowl and drank it while walking. However, after taking a few steps, she heard a sharp and ear-piercing voice which sounded like Jin Gen’s mother.
She took the bowl of water and walked to the small bamboo stool in the courtyard. Then she sat down and drank the water mouthful by mouthful. At the same time, she also listened to what Jin Gen’s mother was talking about and what she wanted to do.
“Sister-in-law, look. This is such a great opportunity, how can you let go? If he goes out, he can earn a few thousands in a month…” Jin Gen’s mother’s voice was cadenced. She must have said it with expressions and gestures.
“See for yourself, my Jin Gen had already earned so much in about a month. Your Changsheng is a smart one and more hardworking than my Jin Gen. He should be able to earn more. Besides, they only collect 1,000 yuan for the trip there. Once he reaches, he can earn three or four thousand per month. After one year, it will be thirty or forty thousand already. In the future, if he earns more outside and buys a house and car, then he can take you there to enjoy life. Next time, you can also live like the old ladies in the city. When Changsheng has a child, he or she will also be a proper townspeople and can eat and drink well. Then, they get into a good university and don’t even need to be stuck in this poor village forever, doing labor work. Right, sister-in-law? Tell me, isn’t this right?”
