Chapter 86: Chapter 86 The Life of a Rich Second Generation
Su Wanyu, claiming to be unwell, was lying at home resting when Jiang Changhai entered the room, kicked off his shoes, and climbed on the bed to hug his wife and gave her a big kiss.
Lazily, Su Wanyu asked, “Why did you come back so late? Was it hard to sell the grain?”
Jiang Changhai, sitting with one leg cocked, bragged, “Don’t you know who your man is? With me in charge, is there anything that can’t be sold?”
Upon hearing this, Su Wanyu immediately propped herself up on one elbow, her eyes shining as she looked at him, “Did you sell it all? For how much?”
“Sold it all, for twenty-five yuan,” Jiang Changhai said, and then he took a steamed meat bun out of his pocket and handed it to her.
Su Wanyu smiled as she took it, taking a big bite, her face beaming with happiness, “That’s quite a bit, our family now has more than fifty yuan in savings. We can eat meat buns every day.”
...
Jiang Changhai pinched her nose, saying affectionately, “Alright then, I’ll buy you meat buns every day, and fatten you up until you’re plump and white.”
“Let’s not, we should only eat them every few days. If we eat like this all the time and people find out, it’d spoil everything,” said Su Wanyu thoughtfully, albeit reluctantly.
After all, at this time, there were others who couldn’t even get enough to eat. If their family ate meat buns every day and they themselves became plump and white, wouldn’t that be blatantly revealing that they were cooking their own little pot?
But Jiang Changhai waved his hand, unconcerned, “Who cares what they think, we’ll live our lives as comfortably as we can.”
After finishing his statement, he suddenly lowered his voice, a mix of mystery and pride on his face, “Wife, I did something big today.”
“What big thing?” Su Wanyu showed a curious expression, playing along.
“There’s a northerner who brought over a load of cotton to sell to the Supply and Marketing Cooperative, but they didn’t have the right paperwork, so the Co-op didn’t dare take it. I went and bought a hundred pounds from them.”
“Cotton?”
At the mention of cotton, Su Wanyu became excited, “Brother Hai, you’re amazing, actually managing to get cotton. I’ve been wanting to make a new cotton-padded jacket for Mianmian. The cotton in our jacket is all clumped; it’s not warm at all when worn in the winter.”
Jiang Changhai was quite pleased with his wife’s praise, saying rather grandiosely, “This winter, we’ll make them. You and Mianmian will each get two new sets to switch between, and they’ll be so envious.”
“Yes, make them envious; Brother Hai, you’re just too clever.” @@novelbin@@
Not satisfied with just praising Jiang Changhai with words, Su Wanyu pulled his head over and gave him a kiss, “mua~”
“This side too,” Jiang Changhai chuckled, bringing his other cheek forward.

That evening, when Jiang Mianmian found out about the cotton, she immediately gave her dad a thumbs up in approval, “Dad, you really have a head for business. When the weather gets cold and everyone starts buying cotton, we are definitely going to make a fortune.”
She had planned to wait a few years, until policies became more open, to support her dad in starting a business.
But now she didn’t even have to speak up; her dad had already started on his own. It seemed she was destined to live the life of a rich second generation.
Jiang Mianmian was elated at the prospect of a happy life waving at her, and couldn’t stop complimenting her dad, nearly inflating his ego beyond measure.
Seeing how his daughter praised him to the skies just for buying some cotton, Jiang Changhai was so eager he wished he could go straight to the black market, find Old Niu, and sell off all the cotton in one go for a commission.
The next morning, after dropping his daughter off at school, Jiang Changhai headed straight for the black market to find Old Niu.
What do you think?
