Li Jinwen, just like Lin Mo, had never done business before. Always working for others, the sudden idea of her husband opening a lottery shop made her heart tense up, and she timidly asked, “Ah? Me, a boss? Can 1 really do that?”
“What if we lose money?”
Lin Mo smiled and hugged her gently, “If we lose, we’ll just earn it back. What’s the big deal? Everybody starts without understanding and then learns. Plus, 1 feel like you’ll definitely be alright. Your judgment is the best.”
“My judgment is good? How do you figure that?’
“Think about it, if your judgment was poor, how could you have spotted me in the crowd and chosen me at first sight?”
“Oh, so you’re really just complimenting yourself, huh?”
“Haha, just a joke. But honestly, running a lottery shop isn’t really difficult, 1 feel you’re completely up to the task.”
“But…”
-There’s no ‘but’ about it. I’ve made the decision. Alright, get some sleep now. Xiaoxiao doesn’t have school tomorrow, right? Once we wake up, we’re going to buy a car!”
The weather was getting colder, and the electric bike was becoming less reliable.
And now, with quite a bit of money in hand, it was reasonable to buy a car for transportation.
The dark, cramped bedroom slowly quieted down.
It was already past 11 PM. Lin Mo, holding Li Jinwen gently, looked up through the window at the bright moonlight hanging among the stars, sketching out a vast and mysterious starry sky.
The weather was good today. Looking at the stars, it looks like tomorrow’s weather won’t be bad either.
“Without realizing it, the ‘Intelligence System’ has been activated for over half
a month.”
“Although many things are still being figured out, at least life has been
changing for the better.”
“1 wonder what information will be refreshed next.”
As Lin Mo reminisced about the past half month, everything felt like a dream.
It all seemed so unreal, yet the growing savings in his bank account and the increasing happiness on his wife and child’s faces filled Lin Mo with a sense of achievement!
For thirty years, he understood for the first time that this was what it felt like to be up-and-coming, to have a bright future ahead.
His life could also be this exciting!
So much so that even though he had made twenty thousand yuan today, more than when they got soaked in the rain selling umbrellas at Disney, neither he nor his wife seemed to make too much of it.
Maybe it’s because the difference between two hundred thousand and twenty thousand was too great.
Or maybe it was because they now had over a million in their pockets.
“If this were in the past, we would’ve rushed to deposit the twenty thousand in the bank card overnight. Otherwise, my wife probably wouldn’t be able to sleep well, right?”
“Haha, things have changed, indeed.”
“How far will 1 go in the future?”
“Is it possible for me to be rich enough to rival an entire nation, or even become a significant figure who could control the clouds and rain with a flip of the hand?”
“Who knows…”
“Do good deeds without asking about the future.”
“What I need to do now is to take it one step at a time, to secure the present and not to aim too high or become arrogant. The first priority is to fulfill the basic necessity of having a car and a house!
Lin Mo gazed up at the starry sky, his lips slightly curled up, as ideas popped into his head like the stars twinkling above.
When dreams are within reach, just the thought of them is enough to energize someone.
[Come on! You’ve got this! I
“Husband.”
At that moment, Li Jinwen’s soft voice sounded.
Lin Mo looked down and quietly asked, “What’s wrong, can’t sleep? Or are you still thinking about that dead person? I was just kidding, it’s not that scary…
“It’s not…” Li Jinwen nuzzled her small head against Lin Mo’s shoulder, shook her head, and said, “I’m not scared of that. With you by my side, I’m not afraid of anything!”
That short sentence warmed Lin Mo’s heart.
Despite appearing quite strong-willed, Li Jinwen had always been very dependent on Lin Mo, and that hadn’t changed since the beginning.
When Lin Mo and Li Jinwen got married, what he feared most was that a routine life would gradually dilute the fiery love they once had, leading Li Jinwen to grow tired of the hardships of life and choose to divorce him.
However, the thing he was most worried about never happened.
He might have always been poor, but his wife had never looked down on him. “Husband.” Seeing that Lin Mo wasn’t speaking, Li Jinwen murmured softly with her eyes closed, “When you get rich and I get older, will you want a boy then?”
“Even though you previously said that having a daughter is quite good, in the Lin family, you are the only male. Mom and Dad might not say it out loud…”
“If I can’t have a baby for you in the future, would you go out and find someone else?”
Uh,
Okay then.
Lin Mo had thought his wife was unable to sleep because of something else, but it turned out that this was the issue.
He smiled and said, “Well, I have no objections to that, are you thinking about having a second child?”
“If you want to, then let’s have one, but if you don’t want to suffer through another pregnancy and are worried that I might have such thoughts later, then I’ll go to the hospital and get a vasectomy tomorrow.”
“It’s nothing serious.”
Lin Mo said it as a joke.
In the past, Lin Mo had never considered having a second child, for a simple reason.
He couldn’t even afford one, so why have a second?
Even if he had a son, wouldn’t he just repeat the same tedious, impoverished life that he and his father had?
Wouldn’t that be harming someone?
But now things were different,
With the Intelligence System as his support, Lin Mo dared to boldly face things he once never dared to think about.
Li Jinwen suddenly twisted Lin Mo’s waist, saying irritably, “Nonsense, vasectomy does a lot of harm to the body, you think I’d really let you do that!” “Hiss…” Lin Mo inhaled sharply, then said with a laugh, “Heh, 1 just wanted to make you feel at ease. Okay, okay, let’s sleep early. We should let things take their natural course, there’s no need to force it.”
“Besides, there was that one time we didn’t use protection recently; maybe you are already pregnant.”
“just once, how could it be that accurate?” Li Jinwen slowly closed her eyes and said softly, “But I’ve made up my mind, if it turns out that I am pregnant, then let’s have the baby, no matter the gender!”
“Ha ha ha ha—”
“What the hell is so funny! Nothing to laugh about!”
“Okay, okay, no more laughing, if you really are pregnant, then we must have the baby. We have some money now, we can afford it, and it would be nice for Xiaoxiao to have a companion.”
“Mhm!”
“Good girl, it’s really late now, we still have to go see cars tomorrow, we need to be well-rested!”
“Mmm…”
“All right, sleep.”
“Mhm, good night.”
“Good night.”
As Li Jinwen gradually fell asleep,
Soon after, a voice rang out in Lin Mo’s mind.
