Chapter 33: Trust
Xia Ruixi handed the silver ticket to Ou Qingjin: "You can keep it." My body is getting heavier and heavier, and my brain is getting confused. I am more at ease than if I would be kept by you, than if I kept it myself. "Master Xia didn't give her the money directly, but chose to believe Ou Qingjin, which means that his trust in Ou Qingjin is at least more than 90%. She should do things according to Master Xia's intentions.
Ou Qingjin looked at Xia Ruixi, his eyes were very complicated: "You're not afraid that I don't want to lie to you?" How many people have never seen so much silver, let alone possessed it, in their entire lives. You know, there was no certificate at that time, and I didn't write a note, I took the money, if I didn't want to take it out and return it to Rui Yu, and deny it, you have no way at all. ”
Xia Ruixi smiled slightly: "My father trusts you so much, I believe you will not live up to his trust." "Without a certificate, without writing a note, he handed over millions of taels of silver and his son's future to Ou Qingjin, Master Xia trusted Ou Qingjin so much, naturally he had a reason.
Compared with a few million taels of silver, her box of gold bars, which were only worth 50,000 taels of silver, was really nothing, and her little caution seemed to have no practical significance.
Xia Ruixi bent down and turned over the pile of cloth piled at the head of the bed, revealing the wooden box full of gold bars: "I will hand over this box to you for safekeeping in the future." My only request is that I and my children cannot go hungry, that our small family cannot be sustained, that I cannot afford to support my old age, that my children are poor, that I have no money to do as a dowry, and that I have no money to marry a daughter-in-law. ”
Such a proud and sensitive person, she shouldn't make him sad and angry for a little money. In case, in case he really can't do it in the future, and she is disappointed, she also doesn't count on him as soon as possible, so as to save herself from always remembering that she deceived him and feeling guilty, so that she still has jewelry (she is determined to hold on to no one and give it to anyone).
Ou Qingjin opened the box and saw a box of gold bars filled with Huang Cancan, so much money, which was not listed on the dowry list, was independent of the dowry, that is, it was another guarantee given to Xia Ruixi by the Xia family. He roughly understood what was going on in his heart, and he didn't speak for a long time, and only squeezed out a sentence for a long time: "It turns out that you bought a house and gave it gold?" ”
Xia Ruixi said calmly: "You know, some men don't care so much about money. Some men are very righteous, for the sake of friends and brothers, they can ignore their wives and children, and outsiders say that they are good, but his wife and children are the most pitiful people in the world. I have always known that you are righteous, but I don't know if you are such a person, as long as you open your mouth, I can't refuse you, so I dare not tell you completely. It's okay to be poor, but I'm afraid of going hungry, and I'm even more afraid of making my children hungry. This money is not to prevent anyone, but just so that one day, when my children and I have nothing to rely on, we can have a place to live and a full bite to eat. "People's hearts are separated from their stomachs, who knows if the Ou family will be as shameless as the martial arts?
Ou Qingjin turned his back and didn't say a word, the light projected his side face on the wall, and only the pursed lips and taut facial lines could be seen.
It's too normal for women to save private money. The old and young in the family, from his mother to his sister-in-law, to the concubines of his brothers, who does not save private money? However, he has always been honest with Xia Ruixi, no matter his strengths and weaknesses, careful thinking and awkwardness, he has never hidden anything in front of her.
He had always thought that Xia Ruixi had never hidden anything from him, her cunning was as unreserved as her smile, and she had indeed confessed to him today. When she confessed the money to him, she was tantamount to taking off her other layer of armor to show him, and he should be moved.
But he just felt uncomfortable in his heart, not for that bit of gold, but for Xia Ruixi's blunt explanation. He didn't understand until now that Xia Ruixi didn't fully trust him before. She didn't believe in him, she didn't believe that he could give her and her children a stable and prosperous life, so she had to keep her own hands, what could hurt more than this?
Xia Ruixi didn't speak, quietly waiting for him to turn back. At this time, his heart must be uncomfortable, it doesn't matter, she believes he will figure it out. Strictly speaking, he and she are only in love, and have not yet cultivated the kind of tacit understanding and family affection after years and frost precipitation.
After a long time, the wick burst with a soft sound, waking up the two men who seemed to be asleep. Ou Qing stood up silently and walked out, Xia Ruixi let out a long sigh, he couldn't accept her confession so much? It seems that she still underestimated his cautious eyes and temperament.
After a while, the door squeaked softly, and Ou Qingjin came in with a bowl of fragrant hot noodle soup in his hand, and handed it to her, his voice was a little pinched, and his attitude was a little rough: "Eat quickly!" ”
Since he thought of cooking noodles for her to eat, it means that he is not so angry. Xia Ruixi couldn't help laughing, picked up the chopsticks but didn't move the noodles.
Ou Qing said in a vicious voice: "You are not hungry, my son is hungry, hungry for him, can you bear this responsibility?" ”
Xia Ruixi threw away his chopsticks, stood up and pulled his sleeve aggrievedly: "I had known that I would confess to you and trust you wholeheartedly, relying on you would make you angry like this, it is better not to say anything." ”
Ou Qingjin's face darkened: "Do you know that you have to trust me and rely on me now?" I can't be trusted, it's better for you to hold your gold, only it can be trusted! I just found out today that you didn't believe me. ”
Xia Ruixi cheekily put his face on his arm: "Why are you so stingy?" At that time, people always thought that you didn't like me, and you had to marry me. I'm a woman, and I can't go out to work and earn money like a man, so I can't think about myself at all! Compared with people, how can you entrust your entire net worth to others as soon as you meet? You don't want your wife to be that stupid, do you? ”
Ou Qingjin's face looked a little better, but his mouth was unforgiving: "It's strange, are you smarter than your father?" Why didn't I find out before? ”
Xia Ruixi said flatteringly: "How can I compare with my father? My dad was a discerning hero with a forward-looking vision. I crossed the river by feeling the stones, and I had to come step by step. I now understand that gold is dead and you are alive. Gold has no heart, it doesn't recognize people, anyone who gets it can use it, but you're different, you have a heart, you will only recognize me and the baby, and you will only hurt me and the baby, right? ”
"Eat the noodles!" Ou Qing pulled her hand away awkwardly and sat aside, her mouth cocked. But Xia Ruixi saw that his nose was expanding, indicating that he had listened to what she had praised him just now, and he was still very useful, and now he just continued to put on a temperament, and his appearance was to say: I'm angry, come and coax me! Come and coax me!
Xia Ruixi couldn't coax him, smiled and ate the noodles, knocked on the empty bowl and said, "If you get angry again, I'll be angry too." Am I giving you a piece of sincerity, but I still make you unhappy? If you don't want it, then I'll get it back. ”
Seeing that Ou Qingjin still didn't react, Xia Ruixi pretended to hold the box of gold: "Alas, with so much gold, I don't know where to hide it?" It seems that you can't do it without money, but having money is a burden. It's so heavy, I don't know if I can afford it. ”
