Rebirth in 1986: Unforgettable Regrets novel Chapter 105

Chapter 105: Chapter 105: As a Dowry

"Mom, the money is definitely real, guaranteed authentic. Dad, why don’t you have a look?" Tang Yue pushed the money in front of Tang Zhengde with a beaming smile.

Only then did Tang Zhengde snap back to reality. His hands trembling, he picked up the money, feeling as if he were in a dream.

"Dad, hurry up and count it." Tang Yue’s sweet smile lingered on her face as she watched the shocked expressions of her parents, which brought her great joy.

Tang Jun exclaimed even more dramatically, "Sis, you’re incredible! How did you manage to make so much money?"

Tang Jun’s eyes lit up as he reached out to touch the money, but as soon as his hand stretched out, it was smacked away by Zhang Hualian. She said, "Xiao Jun, don’t touch it. What if you spoil it somehow?"

That’s US$ 1,300, not just US$ 100!

"Mom, it’s money. How can it spoil?" Tang Jun pouted, discontented, his eyes fixed on the hundred yuan bills. He knew that with US$ 100, he could buy a lot of delicious food and many beautiful clothes.

Double hundreds!

The thought of double hundreds filled Xiao Jun with frustration. Over the last six months, his grades had improved a little, but he was still far from achieving double hundreds, as he could only score around US$ 90 in each subject.

He wondered when his uncle would fulfill the promise of giving him those aviator sunglasses.

Tang Zhengde counted the bills one by one, a total of thirteen hundred yuan notes, and he was moved. In his entire life, he had never seen so much money before, and to think it was all earned by his daughter.

Such an impressive and pride-inducing daughter is probably unparalleled in the whole of Qianjin Village.

Tang Zhengde looked at Tang Yue with great satisfaction. Since last summer, Tang Yue seemed to have grown up overnight, become sensible, not only accepting him as her father but also growing closer to her and Xiao Jun as siblings.

"Xiao Yue, US$ 1,300, truly remarkable," Tang Zhengde said earnestly.

"Xiao Yue, is Mingli’s business that good?" Zhang Hualian always felt that the money was a lot. It’s only been half a year; wouldn’t there be even more money later on?

Tang Yue smiled and responded, "Uncle’s business is doing amazingly well. In the future, we should definitely benefit from Uncle’s success."

"We had to move out. If we had always stayed in the village, we would never have dared to dream of making this much money," Zhang Hualian remarked sentimentally.

Tang Yue’s eyes lit up, and she quickly continued, "Mom, that’s exactly the right way to think. See, if you hadn’t decided to open this breakfast shop, you wouldn’t have made this much money, right?"

"Absolutely." The mention of the breakfast shop excited Zhang Hualian. If they hadn’t borrowed US$ 100 from Mingli, Zhengde might still be working at the lumberyard, working hard every month and earning very little.

Although it was tough now, at least they were making money. Besides, Tang Zhengde could still rest in the afternoons. Compared to working at the lumberyard, he had more freedom and didn’t have to bear the harsh weather conditions.

"Mom, Dad, I’ve been thinking, the money won’t grow if we leave it in the bank. Why don’t we buy a house?" Tang Yue proposed eagerly. She couldn’t wait to stockpile a few houses, knowing that they’ll be in for a windfall when it’s time for demolition or when old houses are replaced with new ones.
