Two years later.

That afternoon, Lin Ruoxi had just done a perfect appearance treatment for an old customer in the beauty shop, when Lu Xiaobai walked in from outside with his head held high.

As soon as Lu Xiaobai walked in, he took his wife's hand and walked out, and said in a non-negotiable tone: "Go, I'll take you to a place!" ”

"Hey, let go! Don't you see that the store is busy? I can't go with you! Lin Ruoxi was pulled by her husband and stumbled and wanted to get rid of him, but his arm strength was very strong, and she struggled a few times to no avail.

"With Zhu Shanshan and them here, what are you worried about? I'll send you back in an hour! Lu Xiaobai not only did not let go, but also accelerated his pace.

"What are you going to do?" Although she was displeased, seeing that she couldn't get out of control, Lin Ruoxi had no choice but to follow her husband obediently.

"You'll know when the time comes." Lu Xiaobai pretended to be mysterious.

Lin Ruoxi said angrily: "Won't it be those fox friends who went to see you again?" She knew very well that every time he took her to see a friend, he was to show off to others that he had such a beautiful wife, at first, she felt very happy, but gradually, she was disgusted with her husband's tireless practice, and she was not an exhibit, could she use such a toss?

Lu Xiaobai was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "Of course not." ”

Although Lin Ruoxi didn't know where her husband was going to take her, when she heard him say that he was not going to see his friends who were drinking and meat, her resistance gradually weakened.

Getting into Lu Xiaobai's car, he drove for more than 20 minutes and stopped in front of the gate of a newly built villa community.

Lin Ruoxi asked puzzledly, "What are you bringing me here for?" ”

Lu Xiaobai said to his wife sitting in the passenger cab: "Get out of the car quickly, you will know later." ”

Lin Ruoxi got out of the car with a stomach full of doubts.

Lu Xiaobai got out of the car and closed the car door, then pointed to the beautiful villa community and said, "Go, go in." ”

"What are you doing in there?" Lin Ruoxi was even more stunned.

Lu Xiaobai still pretended to be mysterious and said, "I'll give you a big surprise in a while." ”

Lin Ruoxi smiled and said, "You won't tell me that you bought a villa and give it to me, right?" Then he denied: "How is it possible, unless I am dreaming." ”

Lu Xiaobai smiled but did not answer.

Lin Ruoxi seemed to understand something from her husband's smug face, and asked, "Could it be that you really bought a villa?" ”

"Yes, that's where I bought a villa." This time, Lu Xiaobai no longer concealed it.

Lin Ruoxi restrained her smile and couldn't help asking, "How much did it cost?" ”

Lu Xiaobai said: "Three million and two million. ”

"What?" Lin Ruoxi was taken aback, and couldn't help but pick her fingers and ask, "Where did you get so much money?" Some time ago, she heard her husband say that he made some money outside, but she didn't know exactly how much, because he didn't say it, and she didn't ask if she was financially independent.

Lu Xiaobai smiled and glanced at his wife's beautiful Danfeng eyes, and said, "Of course it's earned." ”

Lin Ruoxi stared at her husband and asked, "You won't do anything illegal, right?" ”

Lu Xiaobai said: "How is it possible! Don't think too much about it, I made some money from starting a mine, I used to make some money from stock trading, plus the income from that brick and tile factory, it is more than enough to buy a villa. ”

Lin Ruoxi never seemed to have seen her husband manage a brick factory, could it be that his partner was so obedient and willing to share the money he earned? In addition, he doesn't seem to have put too much effort into managing his mine, so are the foremen helping him keep it in order? She said, "Don't lie to me! ”

"Wife, how could I lie to you?" Lu Xiaobai looked aggrieved.

Lin Ruoxi warned: "If I find out that you are doing illegal things, I will be angry!" ”

Although Lu Xiaobai was very unhappy in his heart, he said with a smile on his face: "How is it possible? What do you think of me? ”

They walked into the villa area.

Although it is a newly built villa area, the greening is relatively good, there are verdant green trees, verdant lawns, realistic rockeries, quaint pavilions, this mountain, this tree, this pavilion, this lawn, and these novel and unique villas set off each other, forming a refreshing and strange picture.

Lu Xiaobai took Lin Ruoxi to a villa. Lin Ruoxi took a look and saw that the walls of this villa were white, the railings were vermilion, and the glazed tiles on the roof were dark red.

Lu Xiaobai said with a smile: "The house was purchased three months ago, why didn't I tell you when I bought the house?" Because I want to give you an unexpected surprise that makes you think that you can move in right away. ”

He thought that Lin Ruoxi would praise her good intentions after seeing the house, but she didn't expect her to say calmly: "It's not that we don't have a house to live in, why buy such a luxurious house?" ”

Lu Xiaobai felt a burst of loss and said: "Life is just a few decades, if you don't know how to enjoy making money, then why work hard to earn it?" ”

This is good, but I don't know why, Lin Ruoxi is always unsteady in her heart.

Lu Xiaobai took out a shiny key to open the door, turned his head and said to Lin Ruoxi, who was standing three meters away and didn't know what he was thinking, "Come in and have a look." ”

Lin Ruoxi walked in and saw that the inside had been renovated, and it was quite beautifully decorated, with a marble floor of parquet under her feet, a crystal glass chandelier on her head, and all kinds of furniture and household appliances, which felt very good.

However, Lu Xiaobai said: "The newly renovated house has excessive formaldehyde, so it is best to move in after a period of time." ”

Lin Ruoxi said: "It doesn't matter when you move in, I'm not in a hurry to stay." ”

Three months later, at Lu Xiaobai's repeated requests, Lin Ruoxi moved into a new villa with her daughter and husband.

At the beginning, Lin Ruoxi was not used to living, including her daughter Xiaoyu, but gradually she got used to it.

After more than two months, Lu Xiaobai suddenly changed to an Imperial Blue BMW. It's a very high-end sedan.

When Lin Ruoxi saw that her husband bought such a luxurious new car, she was taken aback again, it took no more than half a year to buy a villa and a car, where did he get so much money? She vaguely felt that her husband must have done something illegal outside, and most of the money to buy a car and a house was illegally gained.

She asked her husband solemnly, "Where did you get the money to buy a car?" ”

Lu Xiaobai felt that something was wrong when he saw his wife's face, he pretended to smile lightly, and said, "Earned, legally gained, do you suspect that I robbed it?" ”

Lin Ruoxi didn't believe it: "Is the money so easy to make?" Did you do something against the law? Tell me the truth! ”

Lu Xiaobai said: "I said it, the money is earned by my hard work, you don't believe it, I really can't do anything about you." ”

Lin Ruoxi saw that her husband was secretive, and knew that he would not say anything if she asked him, so she didn't ask anymore. She thinks it's not particularly difficult to find out what her husband is doing, as long as she follows him quietly.

But Lin Ruoxi did not plan to follow him in the first place, but was ready to quietly learn about the operation of the brick and tile factory and mine he said, if the actual income of the brick and tile factory and mine was far less than the money to buy villas and BMW cars, then his income may be illegally gained.

When she went to the brick factory, she saw several male workers busy making cement hollow bricks, and she deliberately asked a worker in his 40s with waxy yellow skin: "Master, where is your boss?" ”

The worker looked up and said, "Our boss is not here, what are you looking for him?" ”

Lin Ruoxi lied and said: "My family is going to build a house and wants to buy some bricks to use. ”

"The boss may be back in a moment, you wait." With that, he bent over and worked.

Lin Ruoxi asked again: "Does your boss have a man named Lu Xiaobai?" ”

"I haven't heard of it, I only know that our boss's name is Li Fandong, and he is my fellow countryman." He didn't lift his head, but concentrated on his work.

"Master, you've just arrived, right?"

"I've been here for two years."

Lin Ruoxi thought to himself, it was strange that he hadn't known that Lu Xiaobai was their other boss after working for two years.

After more than ten minutes, I saw a middle-aged man with a fat head and big ears walking in from outside the factory with a cigarette in his mouth.

The worker who was talking to Lin Ruoxi just now pointed to the obese middle-aged man and said to her, "Oh, that's our boss." ”

Lin Ruoxi walked over and said to the obese man: "I am Lu Xiaobai's wife, and I happened to pass by here, so I came by the way to inspect the work of the workers." ”

The fat man stopped, looked at Lin Ruoxi, who was dressed in a fashionable dress and looked very beautiful, and couldn't help asking, "You mean your husband is a worker here?" But none of my workers is named Lu Xiaobai. ”

Lin Ruoxi hurriedly asked, "Isn't Lu Xiaobai the boss here?" ”

The fat man laughed, looked at Lin Ruoxi ambiguously and said, "Miss, you are mistaken, the boss here is called Li Fandong, I don't know what Lu Xiaobai is." ”

Lin Ruoxi hated Li Fandong's peach blossom eyes very much, but she came to understand the situation, so it was naturally inconvenient to have a seizure, so she had to twist her head to the side, pretending not to know anything, she said: "That's the case, my husband said that this brick factory was founded by him and someone else, and I don't know the inside story, so it seems that my husband lied to me." ”

Li Fandong said: "I bought this brick factory from a man named Zhu Zhilong two years ago, and he resold it because he didn't make money because he didn't run it well. I've heard him say that he co-founded the brick factory in the past, but then the partner quit. I didn't ask what the partner's name was. ”

Lin Ruoxi said "thank you" and left.

Li Fandong looked at Lin Ruoxi, who walked away gracefully, and shouted: "Hey, beauty, do you want me to drive you back?" ”

Lin Ruoxi turned a deaf ear and quickened her pace with a weak heart.

Lin Ruoxi took a car for more than an hour, and then walked for more than 20 minutes to the mine opened by Lu Xiaobai.

It is an iron ore mine where workers extract the ore and transport it by car to an ironworks more than 100 miles away.

When Lin Ruoxi came to the mine, she saw that there were only a few workers working in the mine, and the scene was relatively deserted.

Lin Ruoxi found the head of the foreman and asked, "Master, how many truckloads of ore can be produced every day on average now?" ”

The foreman recognized Lin Ruoxi as Lu Xiaobai's wife, and he was surprised that she was a woman who came to this barren mountain and wilderness? But surprise is surprise, he still told the truth: "Not a car." Not anymore, this piece of ore has almost been mined, and it used to be four or five truckloads a day."

Lin Ruoxi knew that her husband's mine had been in operation for less than three years, and how many tons of ore had been produced in total in recent years, and the foreman said an approximate number. Lin Ruoxi knows how much each ton of ore sells for. She multiplied the total gross income figure of the total number of tons given by the foreman by the selling price of each ton of ore, and subtracted the number of tons of wages per ton mined by the total number of tons, and roughly calculated the miscellaneous figures, and she was surprised to find that her husband's income from this mine in recent years did not exceed one million.

Lin Ruoxi immediately knew that most of her husband's income came from other sources!
