Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space Chapter 300

Xinyan really didn’t expect that inside the iron box, apart from several bundles of ten-yuan notes tied with rubber bands cut from bicycle tires, there was also a bankbook.

She counted them; the ten-yuan notes totaled six hundred yuan, and the bankbook surprisingly had six thousand yuan, which added up to six thousand six hundred yuan.

Xinyan felt a bit uneasy, even if He Jinxuan joined the military at eighteen and performed well, becoming a company-level officer by the time he retired, it’s impossible for him to have saved so much money.

She looked at the money in the iron box, hesitated not at all, and stood up wanting to leave the space to find someone.

As soon as she exited the space, she heard someone knocking on the door outside: "Who is it?"

He Jinxuan’s voice came: "Yanyan, it’s me. I’m here to get the basket."

It was truly a case of speaking of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao arrives, she quickly walked out and opened the door: "You’ve come at the right time, I was just about to look for you."

He Jinxuan noticed her expression wasn’t right: "What’s wrong?"

Xinyan turned around and headed into the house: "Come in with me."

After they were inside, Xinyan pointed to the iron box on the table and asked, "Do you know how much money is in here?"

He Jinxuan heard her question and smiled: "I know, don’t worry, I’ll earn money earnestly. In the future, buy whatever you want, don’t let yourself suffer."

Xinyan was exasperated: Is this what I want you to say?

She grabbed the box: "I can’t accept this, you better take it back."

This time, He Jinxuan couldn’t smile: "What’s gotten into you?"

Xinyan directly said: "Brother He, inside this there is six thousand six hundred yuan altogether, where did you get so much money?"

He Jinxuan heard her question and felt not anger but a hint of joy; Xinyan was concerned about him. His expression was slightly unnatural: "Yanyan, you don’t trust me?"

Seeing his unnatural expression, not answering directly but questioning her instead, Xinyan became more uneasy: "If you don’t want to tell, forget it, but keep the iron box yourself."

He Jinxuan’s mind buzzed; he knew Xinyan was angry. If he didn’t explain things today, their newly confirmed relationship might come to an end, a farewell with no return path.

He truly wished to spend the rest of his life with the girl in front of him; some things couldn’t always be hidden from her. Earlier, he hadn’t told her to avoid scaring her. But if he didn’t speak now, she might literally kick him out.

Having understood this, he didn’t delay further: "Don’t be angry, some of this money is from previous saved salaries and bonuses from tasks, but a large portion came from trading a few things with Haibo after coming back."

Hearing his explanation, Xinyan’s expression slightly softened.

He Jinxuan continued to explain: "Don’t worry, I’ve never harmed collective interests, just used spare money to bring things that are lacking here or needed over there, and flipped them."

Xinyan heard how the money came, didn’t expect their minds would be so agile: "You’ve really got guts?"

He Jinxuan reached to hold her hand: "Don’t worry, there won’t be any danger. We don’t sell goods directly, just earn the price difference."

Knowing how the future would unfold, she naturally didn’t think it was serious, especially with the opening up reforms just around the corner, this indeed wasn’t much. Seeing He Jinxuan a bit tense, she wanted to tease him: "Is this all your assets?"

He Jinxuan heard the question and lightly coughed: "I keep some as reserve funds, and another portion is used by Haibo for purchasing."

In fact, he didn’t mention there’s still some money tied up in goods. A while ago, he returned from the South, delivered the goods to those people but hasn’t completely collected the money yet. However, those people were loyal and wouldn’t delay payment. In a few days, they should inform him to collect the money. He felt there was no need for Xinyan to worry about certain matters; she should just spend freely.

Xinyan looked at the iron box, unsure whether to keep it or return it. If it was not much money, she would take it. But six thousand six hundred yuan was a huge sum at this time. They were just dating, accepting this money indeed seemed inappropriate.

However, before she could speak, He Jinxuan said: "Yanyan, don’t think about returning the money. I like you, and since you’ve agreed to date me, I’m aiming for marriage. I trust you feel the same. Being like that, what difference does it make whether the money is placed with you now or in the future?

I know you have money, but when you go to school later, and I’m not by your side, I’m afraid you might encounter special situations needing money. Consider it letting me be at ease, okay?"

This was his genuine feeling, but also partly because, by letting her spend his money, he could be relieved. Caring for his wife is his responsibility, not letting others show off.
