Chapter 38: The Clean-featured System Brother!
Ding-a-ling—
After dividing the money, Jiang Tao’s phone rang.
He picked up his mobile phone and saw it was a video call from his wife, Xu Li.
“Brother Jiang, you chat with Sister-in-law, we’re leaving.”
“Let’s go, let’s go, let’s continue playing Fight the Landlord at my place!”
“Bye Brother Jiang, I won’t disturb your time alone with Sister-in-law~”
Liu Zhiyuan and the other two were quite perceptive and got up to leave.
“Then I won’t see you out. Don’t play too late, we’ll continue working tomorrow morning~”
As Jiang Tao got up to see them off, he swiped his finger to answer the phone.
The screen on his mobile phone flickered, and Xu Li, wearing a fluffy light pink pair of pajamas, appeared on the screen.
“Husband, have you eaten? Hurry and tell me, how much money did you guys earn these past two days!”
Xu Li on the other end of the phone sounded impatient.
200,000 yuan was definitely a huge sum for their small family!
“Didn’t I borrow 50,000 yuan from you a couple of days ago?”
“Mr. Jiang, allow me to correct you, it was 56,000 yuan!”
“Oh right, 56,000 yuan. Didn’t I say I’d pay you back double? That money is already included in today’s 200,000.”
“Oh! I get it! So, you already anticipated that the Satsuma Mandarins would increase in price back then, and that’s why you borrowed money from me to hoard Satsuma Mandarins?”
“Whoa, I didn’t expect my silly wife to be so clever today!”
“Tch, who says I’m silly? I’m smart most of the time, okay! It was just when I married you that your beauty bewitched me.”
“Haha, are you indirectly praising me for being handsome?”
“Not indirectly, I’m directly praising you. My husband is the most handsome, he’s good at earning money, and he’s also devoted to our home. Oh no…”
As Xu Li was speaking, her expression changed.
“What’s wrong?”
Jiang Tao was completely bewildered by Xu Li’s reaction. Why was this woman so jumpy today?
“Husband, do you know about the male’s impossible triangle?”
“What impossible triangle? Isn’t it a three-legged thing?”
“Aiya, it’s not about legs and feet, it’s a triangle, a shape!”
“What do you mean…”
Jiang Tao looked down at his crotch. Aren’t they all the same?
“There’s a psychological law that a man cannot simultaneously possess handsomeness, wealth, and faithfulness – this is the triangle.”
“My husband, you are so handsome, and you’ve been earning so much money recently, you’ve already got two sides of the triangle. Will you turn bad because of your wealth?”
“What nonsense is this? Are the few coins we have in our family considered wealth? Your husband here only fits the description of being handsome and faithful.”
Jiang Tao was amused by what Xu Li said about the “male’s impossible triangle.”
However, thinking about it.
The “male’s impossible triangle” and the “men turn bad when they get rich” laws actually seemed to have a connection.
The couple talked on the phone for another hour and a half. Xu Li reluctantly hung up because Jiang Xue was sleepy and needed to take a bath and go to bed.
After ending the video call with Xu Li, Jiang Tao picked up a small mirror from the table.
He looked at the face inside, which was no longer young, with a dark stubble and a hint of weariness.
Objectively speaking, he was indeed a little handsome.
This face was the greatest invisible asset his parents from their hometown rural area had given Jiang Tao.
Friends and relatives all praised Jiang Tao for his good fortune in marrying the beautiful Xu Li, saying he must have good karma.
But the truth was, Xu Li had actively pursued Jiang Tao in the first place.
Of course, it was also a fact that she had pursued Jiang Tao without much effort.
Jiang Tao and Xu Li were probably what people called love at first sight.
From school uniforms to wedding dresses, after so many years, their hearts only held each other and the crystallization of their love.
In the eyes of many friends and relatives, the couple had always been a model couple.
After a moment of narcissism in front of the mirror, Jiang Tao put it down.
He picked up his mobile phone and opened Alipay to check the balance: 245897.66!
Jiang Tao first used his mobile phone to repay the 160,000 yuan he borrowed today, leaving a balance of 85897.66!
Coupled with the 200,000 yuan he transferred to Xu Li today, the couple’s current cash holding had already surpassed the 300,000 yuan mark!
In just over ten days, their family assets had gone from over negative 80,000 yuan to over 300,000 yuan!
Jiang Tao had earned over 400,000 yuan through the various intelligence provided by the Intelligence System, with an average daily income of over 40,000 yuan!
In addition, he still had over 200,000 yuan worth of Nu’er Hong under his bed that hadn’t been cashed out, which was also a considerable fortune!
“The System Brother is really awesome! Without System Brother, I would have to work myself to death for five or six years to earn this much!”
“It only took 11 days! Saving five or six years of hard work!”
Thinking of this, Jiang Tao’s mind stirred, and he opened the main interface of the Daily Intelligence System.
【Host】: Jiang Tao （30 years old）
【System Level 1】: This level unlocks 1 piece of intelligence per day.
【Please note! Ma Dongmei has just grabbed a train ticket for 4 AM on January 20th. After leaving the capital this time, she will not return!】
The more Jiang Tao looked, the more he found System Brother’s interface pleasing to the eye.
Swish!
As if embarrassed by Jiang Tao’s gaze, System Brother unexpectedly closed its own interface.
Jiang Tao: “…”
“Currently, unlocking only one piece of intelligence a day has allowed me to earn so much money in just over ten days.”
“If I unlock two, three…”
“If several pieces of intelligence information were refreshed simultaneously every day, wouldn’t the speed of earning money be even faster?”
Jiang Tao looked at the Intelligence System, which was still only level 1, and felt a strong urge to upgrade System Brother.
“I’ll upgrade System Brother once the money from the Satsuma Mandarins comes in tomorrow!”
“After all, I have to upgrade it sooner or later.”
“The external debt at home has also been paid off, and there’s nothing urgently needed right now. Money in my hand doesn’t earn much.”
“Investing 100,000 yuan in the Intelligence System for one extra piece of intelligence per day is very worthwhile!”
Although Jiang Tao understood the logic, spending 100,000 yuan at once to upgrade the Intelligence System still made him feel a bit pained.
“Also, tomorrow I need to find time to go to Hongxing Wholesale Market to check on Landlord Grandpa’s love.”
“I hope Grandpa’s lovebird doesn’t really get on a train and not come back.”
When he was checking the system’s main interface earlier, Jiang Tao had also noticed the reminder message about Ma Dongmei at the bottom.
Ma Dongmei was leaving the capital the day after tomorrow in the morning, so Jiang Tao only had tomorrow, one day, to succeed or fail.
While planning tomorrow’s work in his mind,
Jiang Tao simply washed up and got into bed under the quilt.
He didn’t feel like listening to any audiobooks today. He first opened the Kuaidou app.
He watched the scantily clad young women on it to improve his aesthetic sense.
After the Aesthetic Improvement Training ended, Jiang Tao opened Moments again to check the updates.
Jiang Tao had very few WeChat friends, only about 150, all of whom were relatives and friends in real life.
The first post in Moments was from his sister-in-law, Xu Sha, about her shopping trip to the mall today.
【Today is another beautiful day, and I’m in a wonderful mood~】
Below the caption was a nine-grid photo collage.
She was wearing a light gray wool coat, a milky white Base Layer, and a pair of Boots.
His sister-in-law’s outfit was quite stylish and pretty, with a lot of likes below.
The second post was a photo of Jiang Xue in new clothes posted by Xu Li.
The third was a photo of Wang Lianming’s family of four at the hospital.
The fourth was a message about selling used cars from Master Tian, the boss of the auto repair shop where Jiang Tao had his car fixed before.
The fifth, the sixth…
Jiang Tao scrolled until the last post of the day before stopping.
Afterward, he clicked on the WeChat group “Xiangqin Xiangqin Family” to see the group chat.
The beginning was a photo of Jiang Xue in new clothes posted by Xu Li.
Grandpa, Grandma, Uncle, and Aunt all praised how pretty she looked.
The older male cousins and older female cousins posted a string of emojis.
With a few little ones in the “Xiangqin Xiangqin Family” group, it was quite lively.
Time always seemed to fly by when playing on the mobile phone.
Soon, it was midnight.
Jiang Tao’s mind stirred, and he opened the Intelligence System to check the latest refreshed intelligence information.
