Chapter 152 [The Fitness Treadmill]! (3-in-1, please subscribe~~~)

They sent Du Jun and his group away.

Jiang Tao also took his third brother home with him after get off work.

When I drove back to the Baigezhuang residential area, it was only a little past 4 p.m., not yet 5 p.m.

After getting out of the car, Jiang Bing ran around the front of the car to Jiang Tao's side and extended her hand to him:
"Second brother, it's still early. I'll go take a look at our family's factory. I've never been there before."

"Go ahead, turn left after you go out, and keep going straight until you see the sign for the industrial park, then turn in."

"If you can't find the place, call your parents."

Jiang Tao casually tossed the car keys to his third brother and turned to walk towards the entrance of the building.

When he went upstairs and returned home, Xu Li was holding an eco-friendly shopping bag and was about to leave.

"Honey, why are you off work so early today? Come with me to the supermarket."

Seeing Jiang Tao come home from get off work, Xu Li's face immediately lit up with a bright smile, and she excitedly went up to hug his arm.

During this period, nourished by love and romance, Xu Li radiated beauty and looked incredibly charming.

With such a beautiful wife, Jiang Tao naturally wouldn't feel comfortable letting her go out alone.

Moreover, seeing that Xu Li was in such high spirits, he didn't want to spoil her fun.

"Alright~ Let's go!"

Jiang Tao had no choice but to put the treadmill aside for the time being and then went downstairs with Xu Li.

Along the way, Xu Li clung to Jiang Tao's arm and chattered on about the things that had happened that day.

Her mother-in-law called her and said she won over 3000 yuan playing mahjong last night.

My sister-in-law quit her internship after only half a day.

My father-in-law is about to retire, but he's been promoted and received a raise. We're just chatting about everyday family matters.

The two walked and talked, and soon arrived at the Jingkelong supermarket outside the community.

Jiang Tao pushed a shopping cart, and Xu Li linked arms with him as they entered the supermarket as a couple.

"Wow, there are so many people today."

Upon entering, Jiang Tao was somewhat surprised to see the supermarket bustling with people.

Xu Li explained with a smile, "Today is March 4th, and Jingkelong Supermarket is holding its 15th anniversary celebration."

"The supermarket offers discounts on various goods, and for every 188 yuan spent, customers can participate in a lucky draw."

"Shopping raffle?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Tao's eyes lit up.

He won the Mercedes-Benz GLS he drives now during a year-end sale at the shopping mall owned by Du Ennan.

"Yes, yes, I saw that some people were handing out flyers at the supermarket today."

"The first prize is a shopping card worth 4999 yuan from Jingkelong Supermarket."

"The second prize is a small electric scooter worth 3000 yuan."

"We happen to be short one car. If we could win one, we wouldn't have to buy one."

"The third prize was a Xiaomi phone worth over 2000 yuan, the fourth prize was a vacuum cleaner, and I forgot the rest."

Xu Li chattered away, telling Jiang Tao about what she knew.

"No wonder there are so many people. If they can maintain this level of customer traffic every day, they can make a lot of money."

Looking at the huge crowd of shoppers inside the supermarket.

Jiang Tao thought of the supermarket he had taken over from Xu Li's cousin, Xu Jiantao, for 35 yuan.

After taking over the supermarket, he handed it over to his elder brother Jiang He and sister-in-law Zhang Xiaoyan to run.

Before he could recoup his 35 yuan investment, he received 50% of the net profit as dividends as "phantom stock".

Once he recoups his initial investment of 35, his equity stake will be reduced to 10%.

Ten years later, he completely withdrew from profit sharing.

The eldest brother is not good with words, but his sister-in-law Zhang Xiaoyan has called Jiang Tao a few times recently.

The supermarket business is performing steadily and has basically recovered to the profit level before Xu Jiantao's incident.

Her daily net profit is about 2500 yuan, which is almost as much as she used to make selling pancakes all day long.

Conservatively estimated, that supermarket could make a profit of around 7 yuan.

The elder brother and sister-in-law received more than 3 yuan, which is much better than the money they used to earn by working themselves to the bone.

If you are poor, you can take care of yourself; if you are rich, you can help the world.

Although Jiang Tao is not yet rich enough to help everyone in the world, he can still help his own brother.

During the Chinese New Year, seeing his older brother and sister-in-law risking their lives to earn money, he felt very bad.

Besides parents, wife, children, and siblings, the closest relationships in the world are those with the father, mother, wife, children, and siblings.

If I don't help my own brother, who will?

As Jiang Tao pushed the shopping cart and walked between the supermarket shelves with Xu Li, his thoughts drifted far away.

"Honey, let's buy some walnuts to help our daughter's brain develop."

"All she thinks about is playing, and her academic performance is far behind that of the other students in the class."

Xu Li's words pulled Jiang Tao's thoughts back from the supermarket in his hometown.

When Xu Li casually mentioned her daughter's grades, Jiang Tao seized the opportunity to suggest:

"By the way, honey, do you think we should find a tutor for Xiaoxue too?"

“What a coincidence, honey, I was just thinking of discussing this with you.”

"Although our Xiaoxue is quite smart, her basic knowledge is too weak."

“She should be starting first grade this year, and I’m considering whether to find her a private tutor to help her solidify her foundation.”

"I think their teacher, Ms. Jiang, is quite nice, and she takes good care of our Xiaoxue."

"Besides, Xiaoxue likes her so much."

"It would be wonderful if we could ask her to tutor Xiaoxue."

Jiang Tao laughed after hearing what Xu Li said.

On his way home today, he was still thinking about how to bring up the idea of ​​hiring Jiang Yi as a tutor for his daughter with Xu Li.

Now look what's happened! He only started it, and Xu Li said everything else for him!

Jiang Tao smiled and nodded, "Yes, I also think Teacher Jiang is very suitable. Why don't you ask her later?"

"Okay, I'll call Teacher Jiang when I get home."

"It doesn't matter when you're in kindergarten, as long as you're happy, that's the most important thing. But once you start elementary school, you'll have to work really hard."

Xu Li nodded. She also valued her daughter's studies and didn't want her to be at the bottom of the class and become a poor student.

Compared to the children at Eddie Kindergarten who receive elite education from the youngest class.

Jiang Xue, who transferred from a rural kindergarten, has far too many shortcomings.

These are all objectively existing problems.

The sooner it is resolved, the better the results.

While chatting, the couple bought various vegetables and fruits at the supermarket.

There are also high-quality proteins such as meat, eggs, dairy products, and seafood like fish and shrimp.

Then there are some daily necessities.

When checking out, the total bill was 795.8 yuan, which allows for 4 chances to win a prize, with 2 chances per person.

"Honey, do you think we have a chance to win the grand prize today?"

While queuing to draw a prize, Xu Li rubbed her hands together, her face beaming with joy.

"Want to have a competition to see who's luckier?"

Jiang Tao smiled and waved the bracelet with the inscription "River-dug Stone" on his wrist in front of Xu Li.

"Alright! Let's have a competition! A woman who smiles a lot is bound to have good luck, hehehehe~"

As Xu Li spoke, she shook her head and grinned foolishly in front of Jiang Tao, revealing her naive and innocent nature.

She was also wearing the "river-dug stone" that Jiang Tao had given her close to her chest.

"Speechless, I've won the 7th prize 5 times! The odds of winning are just too low."

"If I didn't know that my neighbor, Sister Liu, won a cell phone in the lottery, I would have suspected that there was something fishy about the lottery."

"I've seen people win third and fourth prizes, it's just that we were unlucky."

While queuing, people in the lottery area ahead of us kept complaining and grumbling.

"Dear uncles and aunts, please rest assured, our supermarket would not ruin its reputation for such a small prize."

"In just one day, we have already drawn two first prizes, three second prizes, and several third, fourth, and fifth prizes."

"These awards and prizes are all real, there is absolutely no trickery involved."

A female supermarket employee standing nearby, holding a megaphone, listened to the commotion and offered further explanations and assurances.

Today is the first day of the lucky draw, and many customers who won the 7th prize are questioning the authenticity of the supermarket's event.

The seventh prize was basically a consolation prize; it consisted of only a bag of salt.

Compared to the big prizes mentioned earlier, it's completely insignificant.

The staff patiently explained again and again to calm the customers on site.

Customers who didn't win the grand prize just made a casual complaint, and after hearing the staff's explanation, they all fell silent.

Wow! Third prize! I won the third prize!

As soon as the staff member finished speaking, an elderly woman who was drawing a prize shouted, instantly attracting the attention of everyone around her.

"Third prize! Third prize, girl, I won the third prize!"

The woman excitedly took her lottery ticket and went to the prize redemption area to claim her prize from the staff.

The staff member used a device to scan the redemption code on the lottery ticket.

After confirming that everything was correct, I immediately gave the woman an unopened mobile phone.

With such a vivid example right before their eyes, the customers holding the salt had nothing to say this time.

Xu Li nuzzled Jiang Tao's arm and whispered:

"Honey, do you think we're going to smoke four bags of salt too?"

"Pah, pah, pah, you jinx! Can't you say something positive? My goal is the first prize!"

"Whose goal isn't the same? Everyone's goal is the same."

Jiang Tao and Xu Li chatted and laughed quietly as they waited in line for about five minutes before it was their turn to draw the prize.

After showing the shopping receipt to the staff in charge of the lucky draw, I was granted four chances to participate in the draw.

The two walked to the lottery area. Xu Li took a deep breath and first took out a lottery ticket the size of a bank card from the lottery box.

Scrape off the film and you'll see a "three" at the very front. Xu Li's beautiful eyes immediately lit up.

"Third prize! Honey, I won a third prize too!!"

After drawing the prize, Xu Li excitedly grabbed Jiang Tao's arm, her pretty face flushed with excitement.

"Let me see."

Jiang Tao took the lottery ticket from Xu Li, scraped off the remaining film, and sure enough, it was a third-prize ticket.

"This is such incredible luck!"

"Another third prize! We can't say their lottery was rigged this time! It's just bad luck!" "That whole carload of stuff probably isn't worth as much as that phone. Those two young people really made the right choice coming today!"

Several elderly people watching the commotion looked at Jiang Tao and Xu Li with envy in their eyes.

The total shopping cost was only a little over 700 to 800 yuan, and I immediately won a mobile phone worth over 2000 yuan.

Not only did I break even immediately, I also made a profit of over 1000 yuan from the supermarket!
After looking at Xu Li's lottery ticket, Jiang Tao casually handed it to the female supermarket employee in charge of drawing the prizes.

After confirming that everything was correct, the other party respectfully handed a mobile phone to Xu Li with both hands.

"Miss, you are very lucky. Your third prize is our sixth third prize winner today. Thank you for your support of Jingkelong Supermarket."

"Thank you, okay, okay, we'll be a regular customer from now on."

Xu Li smiled and accepted her "spoils of war" before drawing another one.

The second time wasn't as lucky as the first; it was also a seventh prize, a bag of salt.

"Honey, it's your turn to do the remaining two. Good luck!"

After Xu Li had drawn her two prizes, she pinned her hopes on Jiang Tao to win the grand prize.

This time, no information related to the supermarket lottery was triggered, and Jiang Tao didn't know that the lottery ticket was the grand prize.

He could only rely on the luck brought to him by the [river stone].

Jiang Tao reached into the lottery box, stirred it around for a while, and then randomly drew a lottery ticket to scratch.

When Jiang Tao saw the "7" scraped out of the coated area, his heart sank.

Alright, another bag of salt in hand!

"Don't be discouraged, honey. You still have another chance. Keep going!"

Xu Li didn't gloat; instead, she smiled and offered Jiang Tao a word of encouragement.

Jiang Tao was too lazy to stir it again this time, so he randomly picked one out and started scratching it.

When Jiang Tao saw the bright "2" on the scraped-off film, the corners of his mouth immediately turned up.

"Second prize! Honey, you're amazing! You had such good luck!"

Upon seeing the number "2", Xu Li's beautiful eyes instantly brightened, and she hugged Jiang Tao's arm, cheering with joy.

"They won another second prize? No way, this young couple is so lucky!"

"A second prize and a third prize, worth several thousand yuan, what a huge win!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, look at their luck!"

An old man carrying 10 bags of salt looked at Jiang Tao and Xu Li with obvious envy!
"Congratulations, sir! You've won our supermarket's second prize—this Yadea electric scooter worth 3500 yuan!"

After checking that there was nothing wrong with the lottery ticket in Jiang Tao's hand, the staff in charge of the lottery draw readily gave him the prize.

He handed over all the electric vehicle's documents, explanations, warranty cards, and so on to Jiang Tao.

"Thank you."

Amidst envious glances from the crowd, Jiang Tao and Xu Li pushed their electric scooter out of the supermarket.

According to the staff in charge of the lottery, this little electric car has five large batteries and is very powerful.

After leaving the supermarket, Jiang Tao put the bags and packages in front of the electric scooter, while Xu Li sat in the back.

"Honey, you're amazing! You actually won! This time we've saved over 3000 yuan!"

Xu Li, sitting on the back of the tram, laughed all the way, beaming with joy.

I went to the supermarket, bought less than 800 yuan worth of goods, and won a prize worth more than 5000 yuan.

Today's financial luck is truly extraordinary!

As Jiang Tao rode his bike, he jokingly remarked:
"I think we were talking about a competition, right? To see who was lucky enough to win the bigger prize."

"Really? Why didn't I know?"

Xu Li tilted her head, blinked her innocent big eyes, and immediately began to play dumb.

Jiang Tao laughed and said, "You can't accept defeat, can you?"

"Who can't accept defeat? I was just joking with you! Okay, I'll honor my bet. Now tell me what you want to do."

Xu Li is easily provoked, and she got carried away by Jiang Tao's words.

"We'll talk about it when we go to bed tonight."

Xu Li blushed after hearing Jiang Tao's words.

She knew her husband best, and he was sure he'd be making one of those weird requests again.

Back downstairs in the apartment complex, Jiang Tao put his electric scooter in the bike shed, and the two of them carried their bags home. It was already past 6 p.m.

Dad, Mom, and the third child are all back, and Jiang Xue has already finished school.

"Mom and Dad, my husband and I were just at the supermarket..."

As soon as Xu Li entered the house, she shared the story of the lottery at the supermarket with her parents-in-law and her sister-in-law.

"You two are having such a lucky year! You're so fortunate!"

"Amazing! I'm immune to winning prizes; I've never won anything worth more than 10 yuan!"

"You two basically got a bunch of stuff for free and even made a few thousand dollars!"

The three of them were also filled with disbelief after hearing Xu Li's words.

"Oh, right, Mom, my husband just replaced my phone during the Chinese New Year. You can use this one, don't think it's too cheap."

As Xu Li spoke, she directly gave the Xiaomi phone she had drawn to her mother-in-law, Tian Xiaomei.

“Lily, this…”

Looking at her beautiful, gentle, and sensible daughter-in-law, Tian Xiaomei felt a surge of emotion.

Jiang Tao smiled and said, "Mom, Lily is just being filial. Please take it."

"Okay, then Mom will use it. My phone is lagging terribly and I need to get a new one. Thanks, Lily."

Seeing how filial her son and daughter-in-law were, Tian Xiaomei happily accepted the phone that Xu Li gave her.

Xu Li smiled and said, "Mom, why are you saying thank you? We're family. It's only right that my husband and I take care of you and Dad."

Tian Xiaomei said emotionally, "Good children, you and Xiao Tao are both good children. Your father and I are enjoying a life of happiness with you."

"This is nothing. You two have a long life ahead of you, but... could you please start cooking? I'm hungry."

Jiang Tao's words made everyone laugh.

Mom, Dad, and Xu Li chatted and laughed as they went to the kitchen to cook, while Jiang Bing went to Jiang Xue's room to play with her dolls.

Not only does Jiang Xue love Jellycat dolls, but Jiang Bing loves them just as much; she herself has bought more than a dozen.

But it can't compare to my little niece's room full of dolls at all!

She achieved Jellycat doll freedom at such a young age, and her aunt couldn't be more envious!
The living room, which was just a moment ago bustling with activity, is now empty except for Jiang Tao.

I got up from the sofa and walked a few steps to the treadmill in front of the window.

[This treadmill is a special item. Do you want to bind it immediately?]

When Jiang Tao got within a meter of the treadmill, a bright blue virtual screen suddenly popped up in the air in front of him.

A prompt message appears on the screen.

"Yes! Bind!"

Without any hesitation, Jiang Tao immediately chose to bind.

[Binding successful! Activate now?]

Seeing the prompt on the virtual screen, Jiang Tao skillfully took out his phone, put the needle out of the phone case, and poked his finger with it.

A drop of bright red blood seeped from his fingertip, and Jiang Tao casually flicked it onto the treadmill.

The moment the blood came into contact with the treadmill, it transformed into a pale red light shield that enveloped the treadmill.

The treadmill is activated...

[Item Name]: Fitness Treadmill!
[Item Attribute]: There is a chance to gain 1 point of Constitution for every hour of running.

[Note 1]: The reward can be triggered a maximum of once per day.

[Note 2]: There is no upper limit for the host, but the maximum increase in physical attributes for people other than the host using the treadmill is 30 points.

[Note 3]: Your current physical condition is 49 points (weak), which is below the normal level.

"Does running for 1 hour have a chance to increase your constitution attribute by 1 point?"

Upon seeing the treadmill's activated attributes, Jiang Tao's eyes lit up.

But when he saw that his physical attribute was only 49 points, his vision went black again.

Not so!

I'm supposed to be an hourly warrior, so how come my constitution is only 49 points, which isn't even at the normal level?

If you raise your constitution to 100 points...

Jiang Tao looked down at his increasingly protruding belly and realized he really needed to start exercising!
This treadmill can't make you money, but it can increase your physique and its attributes are pretty good!
Jiang Tao now has many ways to make money.

However, there is only one piece of equipment like the "Strengthening and Fitness Treadmill" that can improve physical fitness and is beneficial to health.

"After dinner, let's start practicing tonight!"

"From now on, let Xu Li and her parents run around too."

"Although their maximum physique bonus is only 30 points, every extra point counts!"

Jiang Tao looked through the kitchen glass at his mother, who was washing vegetables and chatting with Xu Li.

[Character's Name]: Tian Xiaomei

[Constitution]: 29 points. (Weak)

Seeing that his mother's physique was only 29 points, Jiang Tao realized how rare it was that the 30 points of physique that could be increased by the treadmill were!
[Name of Person]: Xu Li
[Constitution]: 39 points. (Weak)

Xu Li's physical condition was slightly better than her mother's, but she was still just as weak.

Jiang Tao then looked at his father, Jiang Wen, whose physique was also only 41 points, indicating weakness.

Looking at Jiang Bing, who came out of Jiang Xue's house with a sullen face, her constitution was 35 points, and she was weak!

"Second brother! You need to control your daughter. She won't even give me one of all those toys."

Jiang Bing walked up to Jiang Tao and began to complain to Jiang Xue.

Jiang Tao was speechless: "You're such a grown-up, how can you ask a child for toys?"

Jiang Bing rolled her eyes at her second brother: "Besides having big breasts, what else is big about her? Everyone has a girlish heart."

"I have never seen such a shameless person!"

Jiang Tao was speechless as he looked at Lao San's physique, which was so impressive that even a bathhouse attendant couldn't tell the difference between his front and back.

"Hey! Jiang Tao, what's with that look you're giving me! Explain yourself."

Jiang Bing felt deeply humiliated by her second brother's disdainful look and stopped calling him "second brother" altogether.

"You'll gradually come to understand it yourself."

After Jiang Tao finished speaking, he turned around and sat down on the sofa in the living room.

"Sister-in-law, my second brother has insulted my character! You must do something about him!"

"If he doesn't apologize to me today, I'm severing all ties with him as my sister!"

"I'll make him lose the best sister in the world! I'll make him regret it!"

Jiang Bing angrily walked past Jiang Tao and chased him into the kitchen to complain to Xu Li about Jiang Tao.

The siblings bickering has almost become a family tradition, so naturally no one cares.
