Double-Cut During the War of Resistance: My Wife Came from 1937

The two ultimately failed to have hot pot; they only drank two bowls of spicy soup and ate some steamed buns, fried dough sticks, vegetable dumplings, and fried sugar cakes in town.

The reason for this was that Xia Weiwei didn't want to eat a meal and even drove to the city center.

It takes 30 to 40 minutes to get from the village to the city, and the round trip takes more than an hour.

After dinner, Ma Hongwei said to Xia Weiwei, "Come on, let's continue counting money."

All the silver dollars and gold bars from before were placed in his bedroom.

Ma Hongwei first found the gold bars and threw them all onto the Simmons bed.

There are a total of 35 large yellow croakers and 138 small yellow croakers.

Ma Hongwei said, "Let's categorize these gold bars. Put the ones from the Central Mint in one place, as they are the most valuable, and put the others in another category."

"OK!"

Xia Weiwei responded and began to carefully select the items.

"Central Mint, Central Mint..."

Ma Hongwei picked up five pieces in a row and found that they were all gold raw materials for the Sun Yat-sen portrait and factory emblem designs of the Central Mint.

He couldn't help but say, "I didn't expect that there were quite a few mint bars among these gold bars. I wonder where Commander Liu got them from."

"I don't know either."

Xia Weiwei shook her head.

She was just a medic, and she mostly stayed behind the battlefield, collecting supplies and such, which had nothing to do with her.

Soon, the two finished counting the 35 large yellow croakers.

Among them, there are 12 large yellow croakers with Sun Yat-sen's portrait on cloth, 11 cloth strips with the portrait of the Central Mint, and the rest are 12 cloth strips from the Xijing Mint.

After selecting the large yellow croaker, we started selecting the small yellow croaker.

There were quite a few of these small yellow croakers, so it looked a bit messy.

There are 33 coins from the Sichuan Provincial Mint, 25 coins from the Shanghai Central Mint, 42 coins from the Shanxi Tongyuanyi Mint, and 38 coins from the Gansu Jinmaochang Mint.

Xia Weiwei asked curiously, "Hongwei, how much do you think these gold bars are worth?"

"I feel it's definitely in the tens of millions, but I don't know as to how many tens of millions."

Ma Hongwei shook his head and said, "Let's send it to Tingquan first and see!"

He found WeChat and sent them a few pictures of the large yellow croaker.

Ma Hongwei didn't just send the photos to Tingquan Shangbao; he also sent a few to Yin Weimin.

[Yin Weimin: "Brother, you've got some good stuff again? This time it's gold bars from the Republic of China era!"]

[Ma Hongwei: "Make an offer, the price is available!"]

[Yin Weimin: "Brother, I only run a small business, I can't afford to pay too much!"]

Ma Hongwei: "Never mind then, I'll find someone else!"

[Yin Weimin: "No, brother, I'll offer 810,000 for the Central Mint's Sun Yat-sen portrait gold bar, 655,000 for the regular Central Mint gold bar, and 600,000 for the Xijing Mint bar."]

[Yin Weimin: "Brother, how much do you have?"]

Yin Weimin made a fortune from the two Soviet-era Yuan Shikai silver dollars last time, and naturally he wanted to make more.

Ma Hongwei did not reply to the other party immediately.

He was waiting for Tingquan's offer.

[Listening to the Spring's Treasures: "The boss has more goods! 80 Sun Yat-sen portrait cloth coins, 65 from the Central Mint, and 60 from the Xijing Mint."]

Upon seeing this quote, Ma Hongwei noticed that Yin Weimin's offer was higher this time.

Ma Hongwei thought to himself, "Since you've quoted such a high price, I'll sell you a few!"

He first gave Tingquan Shangbao a hint.

[Ma Hongwei: "There are more than thirty in total, and this price..."]

[Listening to the Spring and Appreciating Treasures: "Alright, the Sun-image cloth pattern will be increased by 10,000, and the other two by 5,000. This is the final price."]

[Ma Hongwei: "I have a total of 9 Sun Yat-sen portrait cloth strips, 10 Central Mint strips, and 12 Xijing Mint strips here!"]

[Listening to the Spring and Appreciating Treasures: "Okay, boss, my people will take the high-speed rail there tonight!"]

Ma Hongwei: "Okay, I'll be waiting for you!"

After chatting with Tingquan Shangbao, Ma Hongwei opened Yin Weimin's chat window.

[Ma Hongwei: "Three Sun Yat-sen portrait coins and one Central Mint coin, trading tomorrow, how about it?"]

[Yin Weimin: "Thanks, bro. Send me your location. What time tomorrow? I'll head over early!"]

Ma Hongwei: "No need to come too early. Just wait for me on the street in front of the China Construction Bank around 10 o'clock."

[Yin Weimin: "Okay, bro, see you at 10 o'clock!"]

After closing WeChat, Ma Hongwei said to Xia Weiwei, "A single Sun Yat-sen portrait cloth bar costs 810,000, while those from the Central Mint and the Xijing Mint cost 655,000 and 605,000 respectively. Let me calculate it for you!"

The 12 Sun Yat-sen statues alone cost 972 million, which is close to 10 million.

The gold bars from the Central Mint were worth 720.5 million yuan.

Xijing Factory strips, 726 million.

"Weiwei, all the gold bars add up to a total of 24,185,000!"

Ma Hongwei exclaimed happily, "After deducting 3% tax, which is 72.555 yuan, you'll still receive nearly 117.3 yuan!"

What Xia Weiwei gets, he can also get.

"So many?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Weiwei's eyes widened in shock.

Although she knew gold was valuable, she never imagined it would be this valuable.

"Yes, there are so many!"

Ma Hongwei sighed, "Why is it that the more money I have, the more uneasy I feel?"

He was very happy when he received a dividend of tens or hundreds of thousands of yuan.

But receiving over a million yuan all at once actually made me feel guilty.

Upon hearing this, Xia Weiwei laughed and said, "Don't follow my example! I only said that because I felt I wasn't much of a help..."

"But you're different. You're the one who takes care of everything: what they need to buy, how to buy it, and how to get the best price. You're the one who truly makes a difference!"

Ma Hongwei nodded and said, "Then I'll take it for now, and give it to them whenever they need it!"

He continued, "We only have this many large yellow croakers. We'll keep the smaller ones for now and sell them next time. Anyway, they're always available!"

"good!"

Xia Weiwei also thought it was a good idea.

This time, they were just buying some near-expiry compressed biscuits, which didn't cost them much at all.

I'm afraid I'll have enough money for the next time and the time after that.

After all, the purchasing power of the future world is still quite strong.

A man and a woman were alone in a room, both on the bed, very close to each other.

Therefore, Ma Hongwei's gaze towards Xia Weiwei naturally revealed a hint of passion and ulterior motives.

He couldn't help but lean closer and say to Xia Weiwei, "Weiwei, we're boyfriend and girlfriend now, shouldn't we do the things that boyfriend and girlfriend do?"

Feeling the warm breath so close to her and that burning gaze, Xia Weiwei suddenly became flustered.

This is her first time dating, and she has no idea what to do.

Ma Hongwei pulled the other woman into his arms and lowered his head to kiss her red lips.

"No...we just started dating..."

Xia Weiwei blushed deeply and tried to push the other person away with her arms.

She was, after all, a person from the Republican era, and not so open-minded.

*Smack*

Ma Hongwei sensed the other person's resistance, so he only kissed her once and didn't continue.

He believed that as long as he was tough, he would definitely be able to defeat the other party.

However, he only cared about himself and did not respect Xia Weiwei.

He felt that they should wait until their relationship became closer.
