Chapter 184: Banknotes That Can Make Money!
Saw the third piece of intelligence about my mother-in-law.
Jiang Tao really couldn’t hold back!
What’s going on!
My mother-in-law unexpectedly pregnant with a third child?
He and Xu Li have been trying hard every day, and there’s been no sign for over a month.
The father-in-law and mother-in-law overtook them and got pregnant first?
Although the country now advocates for having more children, advocating for a third child.
But…
I’m going to have a younger sister-in-law or brother-in-law who is younger than my daughter.
This matter is somewhat bizarre.
“An unexpected pregnancy, it’s not certain whether the father-in-law and mother-in-law want this child.”
“These are not things I should worry about.”
“Forget it, go to sleep, go to sleep.”
Jiang Tao picked up his mobile phone from the nightstand and took a look; it was almost 1 AM.
He put down his phone, turned on 『Sleep Mode』, then turned to hug Xu Li and started sleeping.
No words throughout the night.
The next morning, in order to “trick” the child out of 100 yuan.
Jiang Tao, who usually slept in, got up early for once.
He was up before Jiang Xue went downstairs to catch the school bus.
His mother and Xu Li, who were responsible for breakfast, said that the sun must have risen from the west when they saw him.
“Dad? Why are you up so early today, not sleeping in?”
Jiang Xue, who was playing with “Uncle Qie” on the sofa in the living room, looked at her dad with her big, rolling eyes.
“Xiao Xue, Dad wants to discuss something with you.”
Old Jiang sat on the sofa with a smile, put his arm around his little cotton jacket’s shoulders, with a benevolent fatherly smile.
“What is it?”
Jiang Xue tilted her little head and looked at her dad, her face full of seriousness and curiosity.
Jiang Tao smiled and said, “Did Grandma give you 1000 yuan in pocket money yesterday?”
“Yes, so what?”
Jiang Xue blinked her bright, watery eyes at her dad, thinking this old man wouldn’t try to trick her out of her pocket money again, right?
He still thinks I’m a three-year-old kid!
“Dad needs to do some business today and is short on money.”
Upon hearing Jiang Tao’s words, a wary look appeared in Jiang Xue’s bright, watery eyes.
As expected!
This old man is after my pocket money!
“So what?”
Jiang Xue crossed her arms, scrutinizing Old Jiang with her gaze, acting like a little adult.
Jiang Tao continued, “You lend me your 1000 yuan first, and by the time you get home from school this afternoon, I’ll return 2000 to you.”
“Lend you 1000, and you’ll give me back 2000?”
Jiang Xue’s big, watery eyes lit up when she heard her old man’s words!
“Yes!”
“Adults are not allowed to lie to children!”
“I absolutely won’t lie to you!”
“Lying to me makes me a dog!”
“Okay… lying to me makes me a dog!”
“Then you wait! I’ll go get it for you!”
Hearing that there was such a good thing, Jiang Xue quickly took her little legs and ran towards her bedroom.
“Children are so naive, easily controlled~”
Jiang Tao watched his little cotton jacket’s small back, his face beaming with pride.
Meanwhile.
Jiang Xue, rushing back to the bedroom, saw that her aunt was still sleeping under the quilt.
She first opened the nightstand and took out a small dog-shaped wallet.
With a grab of her small hand, she pulled out all the banknotes inside the dog’s belly.
She put down the wallet and closed the drawer.
Jiang Xue was just about to go out to “invest” in her dad.
Unintentionally, her gaze swept over, and Jiang Xue saw her aunt’s wallet on the nightstand.
The moment she saw the wallet, Jiang Xue’s eyes lit up, and she thought of a good idea!
“Auntie, Auntie, wake up, it’s time to get up~”
Jiang Xue pulled off her aunt’s quilt and started shaking her head with her small hands.
“Don’t be noisy, Xiao Xue, let your aunt sleep a little longer~”
Jiang Bing waved her hand without even opening her eyes, turned over, and continued to sleep.
Jiang Xue continued to shake her aunt’s head, acting spoiled:
“Auntie, don’t sleep anymore, I need your help with something.”
“What is it, say it.”
Jiang Bing’s eyes remained tightly closed, resolutely refusing to get up.
Jiang Xue said in a childish voice, “Can I borrow some money? I’ll pay you back with principal and interest tonight.”
“What did you say?”
Hearing Jiang Xue’s words, Jiang Bing couldn’t help but find it amusing. She turned over, sat up in bed, and looked at her with a smile.
“Borrow some money from you? And you’ll pay me back with principal and interest?”
Jiang Xue nodded seriously, “Yes! Auntie, do you have money?”
“Yes! Your aunt is a rich woman now, do you understand the value of being a rich woman?”
Jiang Bing smiled and teased Jiang Xue, asking curiously:
“Why are you borrowing money at such a young age?”
Jiang Xue lifted her little head proudly, “Of course, to do business~”
“Pfft~”
Upon hearing her little niece’s words, Jiang Bing couldn’t help but burst out laughing.
Jiang Xue put her hands on her hips, her face full of seriousness,
“Auntie, why are you laughing? Everything I said is true. Do you think I’m lying to you? Children don’t lie.”
“Hahaha, okay, okay, then tell me what kind of business you want to do?”
“It’s a secret for now!”
“Then how much money do you want to borrow?”
“1000!”
“Pfft~”
Jiang Bing couldn’t help but laugh again when she heard the amount Jiang Xue wanted to borrow.
“What kind of big business are you going to do?”
“Secret.”
“Okay, Auntie will lend it to you.”
Jiang Bing didn’t care about a thousand or eight hundred now. She directly pulled out a stack from her wallet, didn’t even count it, and handed it to Jiang Xue.
“Here, play with it.”
She never intended to get this money back from Jiang Xue.
Among her nephews and nieces, Jiang Bing liked Jiang Xue the most.
Plus, they often slept together.
She treated Jiang Xue as if she were her own daughter.
“Hehe, thank you, Auntie. I’ll pay you back with principal and interest tonight. This is the minimum integrity for doing business~”
After obtaining the “financing,” Jiang Xue went out to find her dad for “investment.”
“Dad~ Here! This is all my money! I have great confidence in you! You have to work hard today! “
“No, where did you get so much money?”
Jiang Tao looked at the stack of banknotes Jiang Xue handed him, feeling both amused and speechless.
This stack of bills was at least three to four thousand!
“You don’t need to worry about this, Dad. Just use it!”
“This is your daughter’s support for you~ Remember to pay me back with principal and interest as you said earlier tonight.”
Seeing his little cotton jacket acting like a wise child, Jiang Tao, though he felt he had been tricked, was smiling happily.
To have such a business acumen at such a young age, she is teachable!
Not bad, not bad!
As for the interest of several thousand yuan, Jiang Tao really didn’t care.
Besides, this money wasn’t going into someone else’s pocket, it was going to his own little cotton jacket, so he didn’t feel bad.
“Haha, okay, I’ll count how much money you have and pay you back with principal and interest tonight.”
Jiang Tao said, happily counting the banknotes in his hand. There were a total of 3800 yuan!
Among them, one banknote in his sight glowed with a dark golden light.
Obviously, this was the banknote of the special item mentioned in System Brother’s intelligence.
“What are you two guys doing?”
Xu Li saw the father and son counting money and curiously stepped forward to ask.
Jiang Xue said with a proud face:
“Dad said he needed 1000 yuan for business, so I lent my pocket money to Dad for his business!”
Jiang Xue said with her face tilted up, full of pride.
“Hehehe, is that so? Our Xiao Xue is such a sensible and good child.”
Xu Li was amused by her daughter’s words and threw a charming eye-roll at Jiang Tao.
She knew immediately that this was a tactic to trick a child out of their pocket money.
Jiang Tao winked at Xu Li, raising his eyebrows, signaling her not to expose him.
“It’s about time, we should go downstairs.”
Xu Li smiled and extended her hand to Jiang Xue.
“Yes! Dad! You have to work hard! Cheer up!”
Jiang Xue cheered her dad on with a smile, then took her mother’s hand, and the mother and daughter walked towards the door, chatting and laughing.
Seeing his mother serving food, Jiang Tao took the opportunity to return to the bedroom and took out the hundred-yuan banknote that was glowing with a dark golden light from the stack of banknotes.
To anyone other than him, this was just 100 yuan.
But to him, it was of great significance.
【Detected that the host has obtained a special item. Do you want to bind and activate its attributes immediately? 】
“Yes!”
Jiang Tao, familiar with the process, took out the needle from behind his phone case.
He continued to draw blood to bind and activate the banknote in his hand.
【Special item has been successfully bound and activated, and random attributes have been obtained. 】
Seeing the prompt information on the system panel, Jiang Tao looked back at the hundred-yuan banknote in his hand.
【Item Name】: Money-Making Money.
【Attribute】: Perpetual.
【Effect】: Can split into 100 new banknotes daily.
【Note】: The split banknotes are 100% genuine and can be used with confidence.
“This is truly money making money!”
Seeing the name and attributes of the banknote after activation, Jiang Tao’s eyes lit up.
Splitting into 100 a day, which is 10,000 yuan!
After the Money-Attracting Golden Toad and the BAIC EU5, there is now another 『Money-Making Money』.
From now on, even if he does nothing, his daily net income will be 30,000 yuan!
900,000 yuan earned passively per month!
If it’s just for daily consumption, even a large family spending lavishly wouldn’t be able to spend it all!
“Not bad, not bad, welcome to our big family!”
Jiang Tao brought the hundred-yuan banknote in his hand to his lips and kissed it.
This was undoubtedly another “cash calf” to help him make money.
“But, where should I put it…”
Jiang Tao’s gaze swept around the room, looking for a place to store it, but nowhere seemed suitable.
【Ding! The system detected that the host has a storage need. Do you want to spend 10,000 yuan to open one inventory slot? 】
【After opening an inventory slot, system items can be placed in it. 】
Swish!
A cyan system light curtain suddenly appeared, displaying two pieces of prompt information.
“Inventory slot?”
Upon seeing the content of the system prompt, Jiang Tao’s eyes lit up.
10,000 yuan to open an inventory slot wasn’t too expensive!
“Open!”
【Deducting payment, please wait… 】
【Payment successful, congratulations on obtaining 1 inventory slot! 】
Swish!
The cyan virtual panel in front of Jiang Tao changed, revealing a grid about 1 cubic decimeter, full of high-tech feel.
This grid was similar to the storage grids in online games, and he could freely store and retrieve system-related items with a thought.
Jiang Tao reached out and placed the 『Money-Making Money』 in his hand into the storage slot, and it was successful!
“Interesting!”
After testing the effect of the inventory slot, Jiang Tao’s eyes lit up.
【Do you want to spend 100,000 yuan to open a second inventory slot? 】
“The price has increased quite sharply!”
Seeing that the price to open the second inventory slot had increased tenfold, Jiang Tao was a bit speechless.
“Yes! Open it!”
Although it was a bit expensive, Jiang Tao gritted his teeth and opened it, then placed the Money-Attracting Golden Toad, which was in the safe, inside.
This way, it was both safe and time-saving, eliminating the need to open the safe every day.
【Do you want to spend 1 million to open a third inventory slot? 】
“No…”
Seeing that the price for the third slot had doubled again to 1 million.
Jiang Tao was quite speechless and silently chose no.
He didn’t have such a pressing need for storage at the moment.
He didn’t need so many inventory slots for now.
“Son~ Dinner is ready.”
“Okay, coming.”
Hearing his mother’s voice from outside the door.
Jiang Tao closed the system interface with a thought and pushed the door open to leave the room.
Early in the morning, he had dealt with a special item mentioned in the intelligence.
Jiang Tao was in a good mood, and his appetite had increased significantly.
After eating, Xu Li and his mother put the plates and cutlery into the dishwasher in the kitchen.
Jiang Tao and Xu Li went out as usual, and after going downstairs, they walked towards Building 62, where the father-in-law’s family lived.
On the way, Jiang Tao hesitated several times, unsure whether to tell Xu Li about his mother-in-law’s pregnancy.
If the old couple didn’t want the child, it wouldn’t matter whether they took folic acid and vitamins.
But if the old couple wanted the child.
If they didn’t supplement with the necessary vitamins and trace elements in time, it might affect the fetus’s development.
“Honey, I feel like you have something to tell me, don’t you?”
Xu Li linked her arm with Jiang Tao’s right side and looked at him curiously.
After being married for so many years, they couldn’t hide anything from each other.
Jiang Tao thought for a moment and said:
“Wife, I’ve noticed your mother-in-law’s romantic star shining brightly these past couple of days. It seems like there’s some good news.”
“Ah? What good news could my mom have? You stinky husband, are you joking about my mom!”
Hearing Jiang Tao’s words, Xu Li wrinkled her nose and lightly punched his arm.
Jiang Tao smiled and said, “You really don’t believe me. I studied physiognomy with my master for two to three years. Your mom’s face today definitely indicates some good news.”
Xu Li said, “Then what good news do you think it could be?”
“For example, giving birth to a younger brother or sister for you?”
“Stinky husband! You still say you’re not joking about my mom. My mom is already over 50 this year, how could she possibly…”
Xu Li stopped short before finishing her sentence.
She actually knew someone who was pregnant in her fifties!
Tian Mingrong, Jiang Tao’s uncle’s girlfriend, is also over fifty this year.
She heard from Jiang Tao that his uncle’s girlfriend, Tian Mingrong, was already pregnant with her uncle’s child.
Those two were likely to get married this year due to the pregnancy.
“Honey, are you serious?”
Thinking of Tian Mingrong and her uncle, Xu Li began to believe Jiang Tao’s words.
Theoretically, the chance of a woman getting pregnant in her fifties or sixties is small, but not impossible!
Jiang Tao also dropped his smile, unusually serious, saying:
“According to physiognomy, it should be correct, but to confirm whether it is or not, we need to check with a more scientific method.”
“My mom and my dad…”
After mentally accepting Jiang Tao’s explanation, Xu Li was speechless.
She and Jiang Tao had been trying for almost a month with no success.
And her mother was now suspected of being pregnant with a third child???
“Honey, what if it’s true?”
Xu Li looked at Jiang Tao, her heart filled with a complex emotion as she asked.
Jiang Tao’s expression was calm:
“It depends on what your dad and mom decide. Whatever choice they make, I will respect it.”
“Yes, yes, I think so too.”
Xu Li quickly came to terms with it.
Given their family’s current situation, even having a third child wouldn’t put too much pressure on them.
The couple walked and talked, and soon arrived outside the father-in-law’s house.
