Reborn 1980: Good Wife Gets Rich and Busy

Chapter 62
Cheng Tianyuan secretly disliked it when he heard it.

He has been doing well in the county over the years, and has seen some big scenes. Especially during the days when he went to the imperial capital to propose marriage, he met many big businessmen - truly rich people.

Those people were friends of the father-in-law. My mother-in-law secretly explained that their investment business easily amounted to hundreds of thousands, and they were considered big shots in the business circle of the imperial capital.

He didn't go forward, he just felt that those people were polite and courteous, and they didn't have the flamboyant rich feeling of Ouyang Xiang brothers and sisters.

Needless to say, my father-in-law's family should be considered a very wealthy family. They live in a two-story suite that is very well decorated. They not only have their own factory, but also a car.

But their food and accommodation are just as frugal as before in the big alley, and they are polite, courteous and gentle.

That guy Ouyang Xiang just built two floors and bought a small truck, and he looked very cool.

His sister was influenced by him and spoke very strangely.

Ouyang Mei didn't realize that her words made others unhappy, so she raised her chubby chin.

"My brother also told me that he can eat whatever he wants, and spend it as much as I want. There is no need to save money. The most important thing our family lacks now is money, and there is no need to save money."

She seemed to want to make a joke, and said cheerfully: "Ayuan, do you know? My brother's favorite mantra now is - any problem that money can solve is not a problem. Don't you think it's funny?"

Cheng Tianyuan was busy frying meat and nodded casually.

Ouyang Mei boasted a few more words about how rich her brother was, but Cheng Tianyuan didn't respond, so she had no choice but to keep silent.

"Huh?! It turned dark in the blink of an eye!"

Cheng Tianyuan quickly said: "It's difficult to walk when it gets dark. You go back to the hotel first. I'll go find you after breakfast tomorrow morning."

Ouyang Mei stared at him reluctantly, pouting coquettishly: "Ayuan, I'm waiting for you! You have to come early and don't make me wait too long, you know?"

Cheng Tianyuan frowned and took a step back.

"I know, but - don't talk to me in this tone in the future. I'm not used to it."

Ouyang Mei shyly glared at him, turned around and ran out.

Cheng Tianyuan rolled his eyes helplessly, poured out the meat from the pot, then slowly went out to close the door to the yard, and simply locked it.

Anyway, my wife should be busy translating tonight. His feet are not fully healed yet, so he really can't do part-time work, so he closed the door early to prevent other people from getting in again.

He put the rice in the bowl and shouted: "Daughter-in-law! Come down for dinner!"

After a while, Xue Ling walked down quickly.

"Brother Yuan, were there any guests downstairs just now? I seemed to hear you talking to someone else."

Cheng Tianyuan told the truth and was embarrassed to explain: "I plan to deal with her tomorrow and take her out for a walk."

Xue Ling nodded, washed his hands, took the food and started eating.

When Cheng Tianyuan saw that she was silent, his heart suddenly lifted and he couldn't help but want to say a few more words: "Daughter-in-law..."

"Go ahead." Xue Ling said, "But you still have to be careful. Don't use too much force these days."

Cheng Tianyuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her tone was as usual.

"I really had to deal with her just because of my fellow countrymen's reputation. Wife, don't get me wrong!"

He didn't know how to speak tender words, nor how to coax her, so he could only tell the truth.

Xue Ling pursed her lips and smiled, then gave him a large piece of beef.

"I know. I've been busy making money these two days, and I don't have the time or energy to be jealous!"

This was the truth, she didn't lie to him at all.

Cheng Tianyuan smiled softly, thinking she was half-joking, and put a larger piece into her bowl.

"You work so hard, you should eat more."

The two smiled at each other and ate their dinner sweetly.

After eating, Xue Ling hurried upstairs again.

That night, apart from taking a shower, she worked until after twelve o'clock before going to bed.The next morning, when she heard Cheng Tianyuan opening the door, she immediately got up, brushed her teeth and washed her face briefly, and continued to struggle.

All day Sunday, except for half an hour of squinting at noon, she spent the rest of the time translating.

When it got dark, Cheng Tianyuan came back and made her favorite beef noodles and fried two eggs.

Xue Ling felt dizzy from exhaustion, and immediately became energetic after smelling the fragrance.

"Wow! Are there extra dishes today?"

Cheng Tianyuan looked at her tired and red eyes with distress, and whispered: "To reward you for your hard work, eat quickly."

While Xue Ling was eating her omelette, she finally couldn't help but asked out of curiosity: "Did Ouyang Mei find the store? Are you sure?"

Cheng Tianyuan replied: "After looking at three hotels, she was quite satisfied with the nearest one. It is just ten meters past the hotel at the intersection of Songming Road and is quite close to here. She can make her own decision. Anyway, I will only show her around."

Xue Ling nodded and asked, "Then she can't stay in the hotel forever, right?"

"Whatever!" Cheng Tianyuan picked out the beef in the bowl and put it into her bowl.

Xue Ling shook his head and took the meat slices back.

"I've been prone to getting angry after staying up late for the past two days. The beef has been put in hot sauce and I'm more likely to get angry after eating it. It's better for you to eat it."

Cheng Tianyuan helplessly ate the beef and asked in a low voice: "Can I... help you with something?"

He really couldn't bear to see her working so hard.

Xue Ling was stunned for a moment and then smiled.

"I'm just a little busy, it's nothing. You cook three meals a day and take care of all the chores at home, so that I can devote myself to translation. You have already helped me a lot."

Cheng Tianyuan disagreed, and asked with concern: "How many words are left to be completed?"

Xue Ling thought for a while and replied: "I haven't counted yet, but I have translated a lot in these two days and nights."

Cheng Tianyuan whispered: "I'm not good at English. But I think you have to write - how about I help you write in Chinese, okay?"

"Okay!" Xue Ling said with a smile: "My first draft has been checked, but the main draft has to be copied. Please help me copy it! There are several thousand words!"

Cheng Tianyuan grinned and said, "Then I'll go up after washing the dishes."

He worked neatly and quickly. He quickly put away the dishes and chopsticks, wiped his hands and went to Xue Ling's room.

Xue Ling handed him the somewhat messy first draft and after a few simple explanations, he understood.

Cheng Tianyuan's handwriting is in block letters, just like his character, tough and beautiful.

Xue Ling took a look and smiled happily.

"Find a good assistant!"

Cheng Tianyuan was also happy to help her and quickly started copying carefully.

The room was very quiet, except for the rustling sound of pen writing and the sound of turning books.

More than three hours passed, and Cheng Tianyuan had copied all the first drafts.

He works quickly. He often has to enter accounts and write orders at the supply and marketing cooperative. Even if he doesn't study, his pen never stops, so his writing is not slow.

"Daughter-in-law, do you still have it?"

Xue Ling yawned and explained: "I'm still turning over this one...wait a minute. How about you count the words for me first?"

Cheng Tianyuan nodded and asked, "How much did you read in the past few days?"

Xue Ling rubbed his eyes, yawned again due to sleepiness, and replied: "About fourteen thousand words."

Cheng Tianyuan murmured: "That's still about sixteen thousand. This should be enough."
