Chapter 69 -69: Obsessed with Money (3/3)
Using the term “abundant harvest” here might not be quite appropriate, but Fan Tianyu felt it was exceptionally fitting.
Because today’s earnings were incredibly substantial. After resting enough, Fan Tianyu poured all of today’s income into the garbage bag, and then began sorting the money into piles of 10 and 20. Only after bundling 100 yuan together did he start counting the day’s total.
One hundred, two hundred, three thousand, ten thousand, … forty-eight thousand yuan.
Fan Tianyu was so shocked he covered his mouth, hardly believing that this was just the fruit of a single morning’s labor.
48,000 yuan minus the purchase costs of 23,000 yuan left a profit of 25,000 yuan. Of this, 30%—which is 7,500 yuan—belonged to Mei Mengzhen, and the remaining 17,500 yuan were all his.
Fan Tianyu wished he had the ability of Shiva; he just complained about being tired, but what was there to be tired about? Wasn’t making money fragrant?
It was indeed fragrant, or else Fan Tianyu wouldn’t have been so excited.
Given the way things were going, he could earn back the cost of the car in just one week.
After his initial joy subsided, he hesitated about whether to increase his stock, but decided to discuss it with Mei Mengzhen in the evening. For now, he put the money back into the trash bag and headed to the bank with it.
It couldn’t be helped; apart from Mei Mengzhen’s backpack, he simply couldn’t find a larger bag, so he had no choice but to bring the garbage bag to the bank.
Fortunately, the bank wasn’t far from where they lived, and he quickly arrived.
There weren’t many people in their area, and as it was time for work, there were hardly any customers inside the bank.
Fan Tianyu quickly took a number and then sat down to wait his turn.
One customer finished, another was called but no one responded, then it was his turn.
Fan Tianyu approached the counter and sat down, handing over his bank card, before saying, “I’d like to make a deposit.”
“How much would you like to deposit?” asked a pretty young lady behind the counter.
Fan Tianyu opened the garbage bag, whose bundled-up coins had already spilled out. The scattered bills were exposed, but he didn’t pay much mind and simply said, “This whole bag, a total of 48,000 yuan. Should I just hand the bag through?”

The teller had never seen anyone use a trash bag for money, so she was stunned for a moment, but quickly recovered and hurriedly responded, “Ah, take them out and put them below, please. I might need some time to count this money.”
“No problem, take your time.”
It has to be said, the teller counted the cash very professionally and quickly. Once the money was deposited into his account, Fan Tianyu could finally relax and headed back home.
As for giving someone else their share of the money, there was no need to worry as Mei Mengzhen had already arranged everything. Since the other person didn’t want to reveal their name, the money was to be deposited directly into Mei Mengzhen’s bank account, and then she would hand over the bank card to them. At first, he felt this was inappropriate because it was a bank card, after all, but Mei Mengzhen explained that it was just a savings card and they could report it lost if necessary, so he agreed.
Of course, to avoid confusion, there was one card for purchasing stock and another for the 30% commission that needed to be split. In short, to prevent any mix-ups, Mei Mengzhen would tell him exactly how much to deposit into each card before each transaction.
After depositing the money, Fan Tianyu’s tasks for the day were nearly complete. He stayed at home for a bit and then picked up Mei Mengchen from school upon her dismissal.
With Fan Tianyu around, Mei Mengchen no longer needed after-school care. She returned home early, watched cartoons, ate fruit, and worked on her homework for a while until Mei Mengzhen arrived home, accompanied by the aunt and uncle who were eager to know about Fan Tianyu’s sales for the day.
With everyone gathered, it was natural to have dinner there. Fortunately, Mei Mengzhen’s fridge was always full, so there was no worry about running out of food when guests arrived.
Since Mei Yinan had come over, she certainly wouldn’t let Mei Mengzhen lift a finger. She busied herself in perfect contentment, alternating her attention between cartoons and fruits, while also rushing to finish her homework for the day.
Mei Yinan took out the vegetables for the evening meal, and while cleaning them, she asked, “How did it go? Was the business good? Even if it wasn’t, it’s okay, you haven’t lost heart. Business isn’t always easy.”
Mei Yinan rattled on without waiting for Fan Tianyu to reply, ready to comfort him, at which Fan Tianyu deadpanned, “Mom, can’t you hope for some good news for me?”
Fan Hongwei also curiously added, “Let’s just reveal the answer then.”
Fan Tianyu smiled so widely his eyes disappeared, chuckling to himself for quite some time before he finally said, “In one day, oh, that’s not right, half a day. I ran three trips this morning and in just half a day, I sold 48,000 yuan.”
Mei Yinan was peeling potatoes at the time; upon hearing Fan Tianyu’s words, she dropped the potato to the floor in shock and said, “What did you say? I didn’t hear you clearly.”
“48,000 yuan. I sold 48,000 yuan worth today, and that was just in half a day,” Fan Tianyu continued, bursting with laughter again.
However, Fan Hongwei and his wife were flabbergasted. “What? Half a day, 48,000 yuan? You haven’t gone mad, have you? Old Fan, has our son lost his mind? Has he gone crazy from thinking about money?”
“Mad? I have the text message proof.” Fan Tianyu astutely activated the message alert feature, which cost 2 yuan per month. Initially, he was a bit reluctant to spend that much, but now it turned out to be quite useful.
Fan Tianyu showed the transaction notification to his parents. Yes, it was indeed 48,000 yuan.
Mei Yinan was thrilled, “My goodness, if you earn this much every day, we’re going to be rich.”
Fan Hongwei never imagined his son could make so much in half a day, but his mind quickly caught up, “But you haven’t subtracted the cost of the goods, right?”
“Of course not. The cost of goods is 23,000 yuan. I pay it once a week, but I earned 25,000 yuan in one day. Even after Zhenzhen’s share, I have over 17,000 yuan. That’s a killing already.”
This 17,000 and the initial 48,000 didn’t seem far apart, but making that much in a day was certainly a cause for happiness.
“Son, if you earn 17,000 a day, that’s 500,000 in a month. With two months of this, you could buy a car and a house.” Mei Yinan said, getting excited at the prospect. Indeed, the cost of housing in Xincheng wasn’t high; a solid month’s work could possibly buy a house.
Fan Tianyu, however, hadn’t thought so far ahead. “Let’s finish this year first and then talk about it. If I have the money by then, why buy here?”
Fan Hongwei asked, “If you’re not buying a house here, where do you plan to buy one?”
Fan Tianyu naturally replied, “Jiangcheng.”
Since he had attended university in Jiangcheng, he naturally wanted to work there. He didn’t succeed in staying there before, but now, after working for a year with some money saved up, he definitely wanted to stay.
If he wanted to grow his business, he needed to move to a bigger city. Their small town had little scope for development.
It’s a good thing for a child to have goals and ambition. His parents didn’t tease Fan Tianyu about this.
