Chapter 410 He Yuxiang Cries in Secret
He Yuan unconditionally agreed with what she said: "You're right."

Chen Qing replied without any modesty, "I think so too."

The two smiled at each other.

The couple spent the afternoon cuddling and chatting in their room until dinner time before going out.

Since Chen Qing and Xiao Yu both planned to eat something for dinner, He Yuan saw that there were leftovers at home, so he simply made fried rice.

Chen Qing asked in surprise, "Didn't I buy beef?"

To celebrate He Yuan's return from his business trip, she specially used her connections to buy him half a pound of beef.

He Yuan: "We'll eat tomorrow."

"alright."

The food was already served, and there was nothing she could do about it.

He Yuxiang ate his meal quietly.

I felt a little irritated.

He asked his aunt how long it would last.
My aunt said it would take at least six months.

If a mistake is made within these six months, the punishment will be doubled.

In the afternoon, Hong Dazhu asked a relative to write him a note, saying that both of his children were sick, and their mother was pregnant again. The family was struggling financially and urgently needed money. He hoped that the relative could provide supplies so that he could make money by buying and selling on the black market.

He Yuxiang frowned.

Chen Qing looked at him like a little old man: "He Yuxiang, are you not satisfied with this meal?"

"No."

He Yuxiang gave a perfunctory reply.

His mind wasn't on the food at all.

His uncle and aunt never interfered with his buying and selling.

But if they really do enforce it, it will definitely be very strict.

Therefore, he cannot act recklessly.

He really couldn't understand Hong Dazhu. With so many children and a poor family, why did he still want to have more children?

Is it impossible not to have children?!

Seeing that everyone had finished eating, He Yuxiang went to wash the dishes.

He Yuan came to his side and asked, "What's wrong?"

He Yuxiang pursed his lips and asked, "Am I really not allowed to buy and sell during this period?"

"No," He Yuan refused, then asked, "Are you short of money lately?"

He Yuxiang thought for a moment and then told Hong Dazhu about it: "He was short of money, so I thought about buying and selling."

"Did he threaten you?"

"No."

"If you really want to help, you can lend him some money to tide him over."

"That won't work."

He Yuxiang immediately rejected the idea.

He Yuan raised an eyebrow.

He Yuxiang said in a muffled voice, "Lending money is not a good thing."

He Yuan chuckled: "What you said makes sense. If you don't want to help him, why are you so worried?"

"Because he urgently needs money and can't afford to be without work for six months, but I need to stop production, so he has to find someone else to source the goods. If we can't continue our cooperation after six months, I may not be able to find a partner who is just as suitable."

This is exactly what He Yuxiang is worried about.

He Yuan fell into a long silence.

He Yuxiang had already washed the dishes and put them in the wooden cabinet when he saw his uncle still deep in thought, and asked, "What's wrong?"

“You look a lot like your great-grandfather. If he were alive, he would definitely choose you as his heir.” He Yuan thought about the family’s property, which all ended up in He Yuxiang’s hands, which could be considered a kind of fate.

He Yuxiang: "Has he ever encountered anything like this before?"

He Yuan: "There are similar ones."

He Yuxiang asked curiously, "So how did he do it?"

He Yuan: "Just do it regardless of the consequences."

Upon hearing this, He Yuxiang's eyes lit up.

He Yuan stared intently at him. He Yuxiang's shoulders slumped, and he instantly deflated: "We're different. He's old enough to control his own life, while I'm still young."

I really envy my great-grandfather.

I really want to grow up quickly.

Seeing that he was still up to no good, He Yuan said, "Don't do anything reckless for the next six months. I'll help you find a legitimate business to make money from."

He Yuxiang was overjoyed: "Great!"

Compared to making trades with constant anxiety, he definitely prefers to make money honestly and openly, so that he will have a legitimate reason to spend the money later.

He Yuan: "But there is one condition."

He Yuxiang: "Go ahead."

As long as he can make money openly and honestly, he can be at his uncle's beck and call for the next six months.

He Yuan: "Tell me, why are you in such a hurry to make money?"

He Yuxiang frowned deeply.

I hesitated whether or not to speak.

He Yuan was extremely patient, waiting for his choice.

He Yuxiang then asked, "Will the things you'll have me do earn me one yuan a day?"

"can."

"Then I'll tell you, but don't tell your aunt."

"Row."

“I want to save up some money for Xiaoyu so that she can have a job and the dowry that a girl should have, and also... if you have children in the future and we need to go out, I need to save up some money to rent a house.”

He Yuxiang lowered his head. He knew that his aunt had been very good to him. He didn't dwell on the bad days of the past. If possible in the future, he would take good care of his aunt.

But just in case...

What if my aunt changes again?

He needs to think about his and his sister's future.

He does have some gold hidden away, but that money is not something he can control right now. If someone else covets it, the consequences will be even worse, so he can't touch that money.

There is no more gold.

He could only save money little by little on his own.

He Yuan suddenly felt a pang of heartache, stepped forward, patted his back, and asked gently, "Do you know what your aunt and I talked about this afternoon?"

"What to talk about?"

“She’s afraid that she’ll be biased when she has children, so she wants to prepare property for you first. Once the property deed is in your name, you can collect rent and get subsidies. Even without her, you can live a good life.”

He Yuxiang looked up in shock.

He Yuan ruffled his hair: "She's already found a house. We'll go take a look together."

"Aren't houses very expensive?!"

He Yuxiang had inquired about the rental market and heard that apartments now cost at least a thousand yuan each.

He Yuan: "Your aunt and I have decent salaries, enough to afford two houses."

"she……"

He Yuxiang felt as if something was blocking his throat, and he couldn't speak at all.

He didn't speak to his uncle anymore, went back to his room, locked the door, squatted behind the door, and secretly wiped away his tears.

Seeing He Yuxiang rush back into the house, Chen Qing asked He Yuan, "What did you say to him?"

"It's nothing. By the way, didn't you say you'd found a house you liked and wanted to reserve it for the two kids first? Let's take them to see it later."

"Oh? That works too."

Chen Qing had carefully considered his plan to buy houses for his two children.

Because the house would be too cramped if it were expanded further, she was worried that if she had children in the future, they would need to live with Xiaoyu or He Yuxiang, which would make the two siblings feel ostracized. So she wanted to prepare a house for them in advance so that they would feel more secure.

She didn't know if this was a good thing or not, but her biggest obsession in her past life was owning a house.

So she thought she should prepare what she considered the best for her two children first, so that they might feel secure.

He Yuanqing couldn't help but cup her face, rub it, and kiss it, his eyes full of smiles: "Chen Qing, you are so cute."

Chen Qing rolled his eyes.

He's sick in the head.
