After the gold bricks were bought, Ye Chen took a taxi directly from the entrance of the gold shop and returned to Townsend One.
The reason why he bought the gold bricks was because Ye Chen knew that his mother-in-law, Ma Lan, was definitely expecting him to bring her some gifts when he returned.
However, Ye Chen really didn't have any time left to choose a gift, so he simply bought a few gold bricks, so that when the time came, he could say that they were given to him by a client.
When the time came, he gave her a piece as a gift and let her take it and play with it.
This way, he wouldn't have to worry that Marashi would sell the gold bricks for cash.
If it was the old Ma Lan, she would have gone out tomorrow morning with the gold bricks in her pocket and sold them.
Before she left, she would have gone to her room and Xiao Churan's room to steal and sell the remaining nine gold bricks as well.
But now she was much more honest, and her legs were not so handy, so it was not practical for her to go out and sell the gold bricks.
What's more, she had to prevent herself from having to check them on a whim once in a while, so she had to put them away honestly when she got them.
Giving her a gift that was very valuable but that she couldn't take out and realise either was just the right way to hold her in place.
When Ye Chen returned to Tangchen Yijin with the four gold bricks, he had just entered the front door when he saw his wife Xiao Churan walking out of the garage in the courtyard.
Xiao Churan had just driven back and parked her car on her front foot, and when she saw Ye Chen pushing the door into the courtyard, she immediately said joyfully, "Honey, you're back!"
Ye Chen looked at her and said in a very doting tone, "You're back, have you missed me these few days?"
"Of course I did!" Xiao Churan was not shy at all, she happily ran over and jumped into Ye Chen's arms, her face full of happiness but with a bit of complaint, "Why didn't you tell me in advance when you came back, so I could pick you up at the airport!"
Ye Chen laughed: "I know you must be very busy at work, so I wouldn't want to bother you to go so far to pick me up, I can just take a taxi myself and come back!"
Xiao Churan said seriously, "What's so hard about going to pick you up, it's you who has to fly all the way back and queue up for a taxi, how tiring!"
"Not tired." Ye Chen said casually, "I'm in such good health, this little thing is nothing."
Xiao Churan said helplessly, "You should have told me earlier, I could have cooked at home and waited for you to come back, but in the past few days when you were gone, my mother didn't cook properly, she was very foolish all day long, and just now she called me to say that she didn't want to cook at night and asked me to come back to order dinner."
Ye Chen smiled and said, "It's good to order dinner, order me one by the way."
Xiao Churan nodded and said, "You should go home first and rest and relax!"
Xiao Churan swiped the fingerprint lock and as soon as she entered the door, she heard Ma Lan's lazy and reproachful voice: "Churan, what took you so long to get back? I've been hungry for so long, I was waiting for you to come home and order dinner. ......"
At this time, Ma Lanren was lying on the sofa in the living room, without even looking, he knew it must be Xiao Churan who had returned.
Xiao Churan said helplessly, "Mom, you are too lazy these days, you don't need to do housework, you can at least order a meal for yourself when you are hungry ......"
Ma Lan said impatiently, "I hate ordering food, either I don't want to eat this or that, or I want to eat this or that, you should order it, I'll just wait for it ......"
Xiao Churan sighed and said, "Mom, Ye Chen is back, let him see what he wants to eat."
As soon as Xiao Churan's words left her mouth, she heard Ma Lan in the living room come up with, "Alas mum, my good son-in-law is back?"
After saying that, the sound of someone jumping on crutches could be heard.
Immediately after that, Ma Lan ran over with one hand on crutches, jumping all the way, and as soon as she saw Ye Chen, she smiled fawningly and said, "Mom, my good son-in-law is back, why didn't you tell mum, so that mum can cook you something delicious!"
After saying that, she immediately said, "Good son-in-law, you take a rest first, mum will go to the kitchen to see what can be cooked!"
