Chapter Seventy-four: Tracking

  Now that there's money at home, everyone has become uneasy. After all, with such a large sum of money at home, they have to worry about it every day, afraid of attracting thieves or being bitten by rats, and it has become a heavy burden.

  Over the weekend, Zhao Juan finally returned home.

  The whole family gathered together for the nth time to hold a family meeting, and the central theme of the meeting was the distribution of this money.

  At first, when Zhao Juan heard that there was so much money at home, she thought it was a joke. Later, when she knew her father nodded, she confirmed that this was a real thing.

  She sat on the bench and argued with everyone: "It's just something a kid bought on a whim, how can it be counted as mine? I'm determined not to take this money."

  "Sister, how can I say it? If there wasn't Ni Ni, I wouldn't have been able to buy this thing either. Since we let Ni Ni encounter it, it's already a blessing, so why not share some of the luck?"

  "No, I won't take it. You paid for this yourself, what's going on here? I don't want it." Zhao Juan said firmly.

  "How can you not want it? Look at Nini, she's so big now. In the future, who knows where we'll need money? You should have gotten a share of it, you have to think about the child." Zhao Tong felt sorry for his sister.

  "After that, I made money and Nini was still young, didn't need much. Otherwise, this money would all be left for Dad and Mom to support their old age, anyway, I don't want it."

  "We don't want it, we're already so old, what's the use of having so much money? Besides, with so much money, your father and I wouldn't feel at ease." Zhao's mother also disagreed with taking the money.

  In the end, after much discussion back and forth, no one wanted to take the money, and the atmosphere fell into an impasse. Zhao's father was also deep in thought, thinking about how to allocate it fairly.

  Song Jie glanced around, feeling that the timing was about right, and spoke up: "Why not use this money to do business? When we make a profit, we can divide it among ourselves."

  "What a great idea! Let's use this money to do business instead. If we make a profit, we'll split it among everyone. And if we lose, the money came easily anyway, so no big deal. I think that sounds good." Zhao Tong's eyes lit up, thinking this was a great idea, hitting his weak spot.

  The remaining adults all have their own considerations and weigh the pros and cons.

  Finally, Father Zhao patted the board and said: "Alright, let's use it for business. If you make money, Zhao Tong, you'll give your sister the principal and interest, we won't want any of it, and you're not stingy with our living expenses anyway."

  Everyone else thought the proposal was great. Nowadays, people who do business are emerging like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, and now is just the beginning, making a big profit is not a problem at all, Song Jie thought to herself.

  Everyone at home is also a straightforward person, and they all think that making money with money is the best. Besides, Zhao Tong has been saving money in the hope of making a big deal. This time it's really a stroke of luck.

  As for what kind of business to do in the future, it depends on Zhao Tong's ability, and no one will interfere.

  Zhao Tong got this sum of money, a surge of excitement rushed to his head, he had been saving up for a long time, and now he could finally start his own plan. The excitement in his heart took a long time to calm down.

  Zhao Tong took this opportunity to roughly tell everyone about his plans. He wants to do some electronic product trading, and in the future when everyone's conditions improve, every household will be able to use those electronic products, with a very promising prospect.

  The current electronic product market is still far from saturated, and it's not that difficult to carve out a share of the market. The key is to seize opportunities, once hesitant, they may slip away before your eyes.

  Zhao Tong often reads books and newspapers in his spare time. He recharges himself, and he is still very confident in his predictions. He always feels that he can make a lot of money.

  "Now that you have a goal, go and work hard. Remember one thing, no matter what, you must have a detailed plan, don't be blinded by money." Zhao's father made his final summary and reminder to his son.

  Song Jie also thought that her little uncle was quite insightful, as every household would be using electronic products in the future, this was a big cake, and if managed well, it would naturally bring huge profits.

  For a period of time afterwards, Zhao Tong fell into a state of hectic busyness.

  He found Xiao Jia, who had a very good relationship with him, to partner up. Xiao Jia wasn't doing well in the machinery factory either. After Zhao Tong was fired, Li Director's younger brother indeed took his place within a few days. Righteous Xiao Jia even went to the office to argue with the director and as a result, he was treated coldly by Li Director.

  This time, Zhao Tong had a business opportunity and the first person he thought of was Xiao Jia. The two had a very close relationship, so it would be perfect to do business together. Nowadays, people are very honest and deceitful things rarely happen, so Zhao Tong felt at ease asking Xiao Jia for help.

  Xiao Jia has been struggling for years, the factory's efficiency is poor, wages are often in arrears, and he even offended his leader. Two years ago, he just got married, his wife gave birth to a big fat boy, but the economic pressure couldn't even afford the baby's milk powder money.

  This time, after being instigated by Zhao Tong, and also hearing that Zhao Tong had so much capital, he followed Zhao Tong with ease. His own brother wouldn't cheat him, would he? It's still better than just passing the days in the factory.

  Zhao Tong wasn't a petty person either, so he directly gave Xiao Jia a 5% dividend plus his monthly salary. Xiao Jia was even more devoted to him after that.

  Zhao Tong's business is booming, but Song Jie has run into some trouble. Recently, Zhao Juan hasn't been coming home on weekends...

  Song Jie always had a sense of crisis in her heart, Zhao Juan usually loved home the most, and every weekend she would rush back home, never failing to return. However, for several weeks recently, she often disappeared, even Zhao's mother was whispering about it.

  Could it be that Mom has run into some trouble? Song Jie felt uneasy.

  The little uncle is not at home, and no one goes to inquire about the news for himself. Every week, my mother will find someone to tell our family that something has happened and he won't be back, but it's unclear what exactly happened, and everyone in the family is confused.

  Song Jie couldn't help but feel a little impatient, as Zhao Juan would be coming over on the weekend. Who knew that after changing into one outfit, she'd want to leave, with an air of mystery about her? Song Jie couldn't resist scratching an itch, and cast a "tracking curse" on Zhao Juan's body, thinking that when the time came, she could follow her and see what was really going on.

  In the morning, Zhao Juan left. In the afternoon, Song Jie said she was going to a classmate's house and also went out. It wasn't that Song Jie wasn't anxious, but rather that the tracking curse could last for 24 hours, and she believed she wouldn't lose her.

  Just as she stepped out of the door, she saw Zhou Muya walking towards her with a backpack on her back. Song Jie slapped her forehead, this time she's done for.

  As expected, Song Jie said she had something to take care of and wanted to go out alone, but Zhou Muya insisted on following her. Unable to persuade her otherwise, Song Jie had no choice but to agree to bring this sticky follower along.

  All the way, Zhou Mu Ya kept asking questions nonstop, and Song Jie's head was about to explode. She couldn't possibly tell this guy that she was actually following her mom, that would be too weird. All she could do was grit her teeth and keep moving forward.

  Fortunately, Zhou Muya changed the subject and she let out a sigh of relief. Following the trail of the tracking curse, Song Jie walked slowly and steadily, while enjoying the magic sound in her mind, she felt that her endurance had greatly improved.

  The power of the tracking curse changed from weak to strong. Song Jie clearly felt Zhao Juan's position and walked over in a straight line.

  Just after turning a corner, she saw her own mother walking in front of her. Song Jie quickly pulled Zhou Muya over and the two of them stood against the wall.

  Zhou Muya was about to ask a question when Song Jie covered her mouth with one hand, putting her index finger in front of her lips and saying "shh".

  Zhou Muya was startled and hastily nodded to indicate that she understood. Song Jie then put down her hand, still somewhat uneasy.

  Song Jie secretly turned her head from the corner of the wall, and saw that Zhao Juan had already walked far away, with a man standing beside her. A man? Song Jie's eyes almost popped out!!!

  Could it be that Mother is secretly dating this man behind our family's back? Song Jie was caught off guard...

  "Who is it? Song Jie." Zhou Muya was so excited, with a sense of being a detective, her face even flushed red. In fact, Zhou Muya didn't have Song Jie's keen eyesight and couldn't see clearly who it was from such a distance.

  Song Jie glanced at him with the corner of her eye: "Let's talk about it later, let's catch up first." After finishing speaking, she pulled Zhou Muya's hand and walked out. She held on very tightly, fearing that this girl would rush out in excitement and expose their tracks.

  Two people followed stealthily behind the two men's buttocks.

  "That's..." Zhou Muya was about to speak when Song Jie covered her mouth again. Zhou Muya had seen Song Jie's mother before, and this time she found out that the target was actually her, almost shouting out loud, fortunately Song Jie was quick-witted and pulled her back, otherwise they would have been exposed since they were so close.

  Song Jie put down her hand, and Zhou Muya smiled slyly, almost ruining someone's business, but it seemed like she had discovered some extraordinary secret.

  Zhou Muya couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Song Jie, is that your mom? Is she finding you a stepdad?" The little kid didn't look very old, and his eyes still showed a hint of sympathy.

  Song Jie: "......"

  What's going on here, the situation hasn't even started yet and she's already jumped to conclusions. Song Jie slapped a palm on Zhou Muya's head, glared at her, and signaled her not to speak nonsense.

  Zhou Muya didn't dare speak anymore, afraid of breaking Song Jie's glass heart. She thought Song Jie was catching an adulterer.

  The two of them carefully followed behind, and Song Jie never had the opportunity to see the man's face straight on; without confirmation, she wouldn't jump to conclusions.

  Who would have thought that the opportunity had come, and the two people walking in front might have felt tired and sat down on a long bench by the road. This area is a green belt in a small district, with a large space and many facilities, and benches can be seen everywhere.

  They didn't sit down until Song Jie straightened up and let out a breath. She pulled Zhou Muya's hand, and the two of them circled around the area before stopping in front of the two seated people, hiding behind a relatively secluded object.

  Diagonally opposite, it was clear that two people sitting could see each other's appearance, Song Jie couldn't help but look at the man who was sitting.
