Chapter 11: Using an advance on my salary to buy things for my wife...
Eleven strings of cash... Eleven strings of cash... Eleven strings of cash...
Jiang Zhe walked along the road with a smile, thinking about what to buy for Xiu'er. After all, she had decided to be with him, so how could he mistreat his wife?
Halfway there, Jiang Zhe suddenly realized a problem: he didn't have a single penny on him, so how could he buy things for Xiu'er?
Somewhat annoyed, Jiang Zhe returned to the Chen residence.
Chen Deng was sitting behind the table in the accounting room, carefully studying his master's secret manual, the "Nine-Nine Multiplication Table." The more he read, the more astonished he became, and the more he admired Jiang Zhe. He didn't even have time to go to the study; he was there reading, calculating, and researching.
"Um...you there..." A voice suddenly interrupted Chen Deng's train of thought. He looked up angrily, "What...?"
He was startled when he saw it; wasn't this the teacher he had just met? Chen Deng quickly stood up and said, "This student was careless and offended the teacher. Please forgive me."
"It's nothing, it's nothing..." Jiang Zhe was also startled. Why did you give me such a fierce look?
Chen Deng felt somewhat helpless. Anyone who obtained such a "rare skill" would probably want to study it carefully on their own. Didn't you say you had already left? Why are you back again?
Seeing that Jiang Zhe seemed somewhat embarrassed as he pointed at himself, Chen Deng understood and quickly said, "Just now, when I saw this divine technique, I was so overwhelmed that I didn't finish performing the disciple's rites. My name is Chen Deng, courtesy name Yuanlong..."
Chen Deng, Chen Yuanlong? Jiang Zhe blinked, speechless for a moment. That genius with an IQ of over 80 was actually calling him teacher and performing the disciple's rites?
Recalling what had just happened, Jiang Zhe felt somewhat helpless about his belated realization. The person had just mentioned the name Yuanlong, and this was still the Chen residence. Who else could it be but Chen Deng?
Seeing Jiang Zhe tapping his head, Chen Deng was completely bewildered. He glanced at the paper on the table, his patience wearing thin, and said, "I wonder if there's anything else you need, teacher..."
"If there's nothing else, you should leave now!" Chen Deng thought viciously to himself.
As soon as Chen Deng finished speaking, Jiang Zhe finally remembered why he had come back. He took a few steps closer and quietly asked, "I have something I want to discuss with you... uh, yes! It's that unsolicited request... an unsolicited favor..."
"Knowing it was an unreasonable request, why did you still speak up?" Chen Deng said somewhat helplessly and respectfully, "Please speak frankly, teacher..."
"It's like this..." Jiang Zhe scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "Could you give me an advance on half of my salary... my regular monthly pay? Um... we can settle the accounts at the end of the month... I'm a little short on cash right now..."
"..." Chen Deng was speechless, feeling a bit helpless about his teacher. He opened his mouth but walked to the door without saying a word and called over a servant to whisper a few words to him.
Jiang Zhe pretended to look at the paintings and calligraphy in the accounting room, but he was actually very embarrassed. On his first day of work, he asked his boss for half a month's salary in advance. If this were in the future, the boss would definitely fire him.
The ancients were so adorable! Holding the heavy five strings of coins in his hand, Jiang Zhe found Chen Deng more and more pleasing to the eye. It was worth it to entrust you with the culture of two thousand years later.
"Take care, teacher..." Chen Deng was terrified by Jiang Zhe's last few glances. After finally getting rid of Jiang Zhe, he quickly rolled up the paper with the words "divine magic" written on it on the table and ran to his study as fast as he could, instructing his servants: "Don't bother me unless it's important!"
Following the example shown on TV, Jiang Zhe put the money into his pocket, but his clothes were almost torn off. He had to walk while holding his stomach, feeling a little nostalgic for the bank cards of his future life...
Ignoring the strange looks from passersby, Jiang Zhe cheerfully pushed open the gate to his yard, calling out as he walked, "Xiuer, I'm back!"
"Xiuer understands!" Xiuer gracefully walked out of the house, looking at Jiang Zhe with a mixture of amusement and helplessness. "Husband, you must not make a loud noise anymore. It's not good if others see you like that..."
"What's there to be afraid of!" Jiang Zhe said nonchalantly. "I'm not shouting outside, I'm shouting in my own home. Besides, I'm not shouting at anyone else, I'm shouting at my wife. What's there to be afraid of!"
"Wife?" Xiu'er blinked in confusion, her little mouth slightly pouting as if she was thinking about what it meant.
"Uh, I mean... wife... yes, wife!" Jiang Zhe patted his "belly".
"Wife?" Xiu'er lowered her head shyly, but when she looked up at Jiang Zhe again, her eyes were filled with deep affection.
"Huh?" Xiu'er pointed her little finger at Jiang Zhe's stomach. "Husband... this... why..."
"Don't understand?" Jiang Zhe chuckled, but just as he reached into his robes, he suddenly became alert and whispered, "Let's talk inside..."
"Ah!" Looking at the dazzling copper coins on the table, Xiu'er frowned deeply and said in a low voice, "Husband, tell me the truth, where did you get so much money?"
"Look at you!" Jiang Zhe said unhappily, turning his face away and sitting on the stool, throwing a tantrum. "Do you think I'd steal or rob someone?"
"No way..." Xiu'er immediately realized that Jiang Zhe was angry. She thought to herself that she could still grasp her man's character to a certain extent and that he would never do such a thing. She had misunderstood him.
"My husband..."
"Hmph!" Jiang Zhe shifted his position, still only showing Xiu'er his side profile.
"Is my husband angry with Xiu'er?" Xiu'er slowly walked up to Jiang Zhe, her eyes glistening with tears. "It's all my fault, I misunderstood you, my husband..."
"No, no!" Jiang Zhe panicked for a moment, wiping away Xiu'er's tears while trying to comfort her, "I was just kidding, why... don't cry, don't cry, I really was just kidding..."
Jiang Zhe's fingers brushed against Xiu'er's eye, and Xiu'er's face immediately flushed red. She bit her lip and asked shyly, "Is my husband not angry with me?"
"Of course not!"
"Then..." Xiu'er pointed to the five strings of coins and said, "Would my husband be willing to tell me where this money came from?"
"Yes, yes!" Jiang Zhe was afraid that this little girl would do what she did before, using her ultimate move before even saying anything.
So Jiang Zhe explained the origin of the five strings of cash to Xiu'er in detail. Xiu'er asked some questions, but Jiang Zhe answered truthfully, finally dispelling Xiu'er's doubts.
"Husband, you said this money was for buying things for Xiuer?"
"Yeah, what else would I do with it?" Jiang Zhe thought to himself, "There's no cigarettes, no internet, no nightclubs here, what would I need this money for... oh, except for food..."
Xiuer didn't speak. She glanced at the money on the table and then focused her gaze on Jiang Zhe's face. The glint in her eyes could be described as...感动 (moved/touched)!
"Xiuer doesn't need those... let's keep the money..."
"How can that be!" Jiang Zhe said. "On my way here, I've seen so many women, and they all wear some kind of jewelry. Look at you... people will think I'm abusing you!"
"Pfft!" Xiu'er covered her mouth and chuckled, her bright black eyes looking at Jiang Zhe. "My husband is a good man, he treats Xiu'er sincerely, how could I say he has mistreated her..."
"No way!" Jiang Zhe slammed his hand on the table. "We absolutely have to buy it, otherwise what am I supposed to do with this money!"
"Husband, don't be angry..." Xiu'er hesitated for a moment, then walked to Jiang Zhe's side, placed her small hand on his arm, and whispered, "Actually, Xiu'er also wants some jewelry... Would you be willing to accompany Xiu'er?"
"Sure! Let's go now!" Jiang Zhe immediately stood up.
"It's not too late to go after dinner..." Xiu'er's voice was soft, but it had a subtle quality that made Jiang Zhe unable to refuse.
"Alright..." Jiang Zhe conceded, "Then you can keep this money for now, we'll go later."
"Hmm." Xiuer took the money from the table and went into the inner room. She opened the wooden cabinet, stroked the fine red cloth placed inside (I was helpless), and then looked at the pair of red candles neatly arranged next to it (helpless again). She bit her lip, and a few traces of shyness appeared on her face.
