BTTS 389




 Chapter 389. Pregnancy news


Just the big truck in the space, how much money was there.

After the final calculation, this truck and some other large items were what they earned this year from this year's reselling.

In addition, there were still a few thousand yuans left as well as the earning from doing proper business in the capital.

Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai came to the black market to wander around.

Lin Qing He wanted to accumulate some gold. Although it was the reform at this time, gold had already begun to appear on the market. It was quite valuable.

However, trading was not allowed in the market. If one wanted to trade, they have to do it privately. With this method, there will naturally be a certain profit margin.

The goal is gold, but accidents always came as a surprise.

In the municipal's black market, Da Yuan Tou unexpectedly appeared.
Da Yuan Tou 
Literal- big Yuan's head

This so-called Da Yuan Tou was used during the time of the Republic of China. It was the currency of that period. Lin Qing He had collected many other things, but so far, she had not collected this.


There were a total of ten Da Yuan Tou, all of which were very well-preserved. But they weren't cheap. The selling price of one was forty yuan.

Ten meant four hundred yuan.

"It's becoming popular outside now to collect these old things. Keep them first and they will definitely be valuable later," the young man pitched.

"I don't know if it's worth anything in the future, but at this moment, you are treating us as fools." Lin Qing He indifferently spoke.

"What treating you like fools? My ten silver yuans are all in good condition. Each one is different. It's novel!" The young man couldn't help but say.

"If it's so novel, why haven't you sold it yet?" Lin Qing He refuted.

"I'll reduce five yuan for each at most. Take it if you want it. If not, forget it." The young man frowned.

Because the ten silver dollars were all different, Lin Qing He really wanted to buy these silver yuans. However, she wasn't satisfied with the price.

Obviously, it was expensive.

It was Zhou Qing Bai who settled it with one sentence. All ten coins for two hundred yuan.

Although the price was cut in half at once, the person's gaze became coveting when he saw Zhou Qing Bai directly counted out twenty tenners notes.

So he gritted his teeth and agreed to the deal!

Lin Qing He took ten silver dollars in her hand and said, "Let's keep these as a collection later."

If it was too expensive, she might as well buy gold instead. But now it cost only two hundred yuan for ten, it was okay to buy it and keep it for her grandchildren to see.

However, the current black market was beginning to display signs of prosperity.

No one in the outside market put up a ban and have people coming to catch them. Still, the black market existed, because many things weren't easy to flow on the market. The black market was the best place to go.

Zhou Qing Bai continued taking her around the black market. In the end, they exchanged two golden hairpins from an old lady and a golden bracelet and two golden rings from a young man.

A lot of gold had been saved in Lin Qing He's space. Before, she had gone to the capital to buy it. Later, it was in the county city. She was still collecting it when she was studying.

Putting them all together, they would have exceeded one million according to the gold price of later generations.

To be honest, since she bought the courtyard dwelling, house, and shops in the capital, she became a little indifferent to these yellow and white commodities.

Her vision had been raised.

It was valuable. There was no doubt about it. But previous gold couldn't compare to the previous property of later generations.

Saving so much gold, one can almost get a 100-square-meter house in the third or fourth-tier small cities of later generations.

Since they have it might as well keep it.

There were two different assets. Also, some gold bracelets, gold rings and gold hairpins were actually very simple but pretty.

When the couple returned to the guest house, Lin Qing He took out the ice cream and ate it.

She had saved some ice cream in her space, which was really convenient.

"It's not good to eat too much." When she wanted to eat ice cream, Zhou Qing Bai would lecture her.

"It's just one piece of ice cream." Lin Qing He said.

Zhou Qing Bai stared at her. Lin Qing He was afraid of his silent stare and quickly said: "After this one, I will definitely not eat any tomorrow."

Zhou Qing Bai looked at her and stated, "You have eaten two of them today."

"What did you say to First Sister?" Lin Qing He quickly changed the subject and asked.

"I asked First Sister if she want to go." Zhou Qing Bai didn't pursue the matter. He wanted a daughter, so it wasn't good to eat that much cold stuff.

He went over to give his niece's salary to his eldest sister. He asked his eldest sister if she had any intention to go to the capital.

But what kind of place was the capital? How can one move there easily? Once gone, what will happen to the pigs and chickens at home?

She wasn't from the capital, so why move to the capital?

Basically, as soon as Zhou Qing Bai put it forward, First Sister refused. What's more, she reproachfully spoke to her fourth younger brother: "I am already at this age. I just hope for the best for my children. Well, Qiang Zi can go to the capital."

Zhou Qing Bai had always been very direct, just like his eldest sister. He responded: "Qiang Zi isn't suited for business."

It was alright if this nephew can work peacefully at home. However, he will easily change if he goes out.

Obviously, these words pierced First Sister's heart. Each and every one of them looks down on her son. How is her eldest son not suited for business?

And even if he isn't, isn't your wife a Bei University teacher? The kind who teaches college students.

Since she can teach college students, it's nothing to teach Qiang Zi a bit even when there is something Qiang Zi doesn’t understand, right?

Zhou Qing Bai frowned when he heard this. He observed his nephew, Xu Sheng Qiang again. He can't even stand or sit properly. So, he didn't stay at his eldest sister's house much longer.

Instead, he went to his second sister's house and stayed there for a while. When he came back, he brought a bag of sesame seeds.

His second sister gave it to him. He accepted it since his wife liked it.

"There will be a lot of this in the future." Lin Qing He said.

Currently, they didn't feel that they had nothing to do and want to start something. Can only say that people were like this and people's hearts were like this.

When one was poor, the relationship was very strong, but when one became rich, the relationship may waver.

No suffering when lacking, only when there's inequality was the phrase for this. It was easy to birth the mindset that they were in a weaker position, so they were right. And that you got to pull them up as well and can't ignore their thoughts.

"Ignore it." Zhou Qing Bai didn't care.

In his opinion, it wasn't actually a big problem. So what if his eldest sister was dissatisfied? It didn't matter since they didn't live together.

After all, not everything can satisfy everyone. If they can understand, they can understand each other. If they can't, it can't be helped.

However, after the couple returned to the capital, they were shocked for a long time by the news that Xu Sheng Mei was pregnant.

    7. I was excited after seeing the title. But after the previous incident, I learned to be smarter so I didn't get my hopes up. But to think it'll be XSM who's pregnant, I am still shocked and speechless. She's seriously stupid.

    9. XSM is pregnant???? Did she get tricked or something? I know she's stupid and ungrateful, but never thought she was reckless. That's practically a social death sentence in this time.... Thanks for the chapter!

      I take back my words, about not minding Xu Sheng Mei, she can be two faced and all, but I don't like stupid people the most

    13. Ugh, I expected this as one of the possibility. But, I wished it wouldn't be this bad. Now I can see it pretty clearly that the Hu boy and his grandma wouldn't want to take responsibility for her after they knew that they couldn't take advantage of LQH and ZQB through XSM.
