Chapter 137: Chapter 137: After Raising a Child and Getting Rich in the Past, the Delicate Beauty is Doted On 57 Tis
Although the purchasing power now and in the next thirty to forty years differed, this international hard currency could preserve the value of assets and rapidly appreciate in the future, making it a good ti to invest.
In another twenty or thirty years, the price of gold would skyrocket, even reaching five or six hundred per gram.
After assessing the situation, Su Zhiruan had made up her mind and then focused on purchasing gifts to take back to Madam Qin.
The whole family gathered together, and the children, Tingfeng and Tingxue, joyfully clapped their hands and danced.
With elderly above and children below, the whole family rejoiced together under one roof.

...
In the following years, everyone could distinctly feel the rapid changes of the era.
Among them, Su Zhiruan felt it the most.
In her previous world, she had lived through a new era of rapid economic and technological growth; whereas in this world, she had erged from a backward, remote area, step by step to a small town, and then to Jinghua, witnessing a nation’s rise in a short ti. She had always heard the elderly say, “You are now living in good tis.” She had no concrete feelings about it in her heart, but during these years after completing her missions in this world, she could genuinely feel what such changes specifically ant.
Skyscrapers soared from the ground, transportation evolved rapidly, and the markets saw a dazzling array of new products.
Over these years, Su Zhiruan made a fortune.
The price of the courtyard house under her na had soared multiple tis. By then, so investors had co forward, wanting to inquire if she was selling the courtyard house.
But the answer they got was always that it was not for sale.
At the beginning of the new century, the governnt wanted to requisition land to construct new buildings, and many of the houses under Su Zhiruan’s na were requisitioned, for which she received a substantial sum of money.
Her investnts in the real estate industry thrived. She won governnt land bids, planning to use them for constructing various comrcial buildings and upscale neighborhoods. At this ti, real estate prices soared rapidly, and many people bought at rising prices rather than declining ones, rushing to buy hos at this ti. The real estate prices in Jinghua embarked on a soaring path and never looked back.
Su Zhiruan rented out the remaining houses she owned, waiting to collect the rent.
Her investnts in the internet and new energy, under the operation of the market and the support of policies, flourished beyond description. Computers gradually entered every household, and the circulation of mobile phones also beca much wider.
Initially, Madam Qin did not understand why she had bought several tens of kilograms of gold and many gold ornants, but when the price of gold significantly rose, she understood Su Zhiruan’s intent. She could not praise her daughter-in-law enough and was extrely satisfied. She then retired peacefully to watch Tingfeng and Tingxue, handing over the clothing company entirely to Su Zhiruan.
Another year, the college entrance examination results were released.
After clinging to Qin Lianqi, whom she hadn’t seen in a long ti, all night, Su Zhiruan heard a knock at the door.
“Who is it?” she rubbed the corners of her eyes, draped a coat over herself, and poked Qin Lianqi beside her, “Get up and get dressed, soone’s here.”
Qin Lianqi casually helped her straighten her collar, then kissed her forehead, “It must be your brother or sister, today’s the day the exam results co out.”
Qin Lianqi harbored deep resentnts now, as Su Zhiruan was involved in too many fields, and crucially, she was very successful in each of them. Her success implied that she was very busy and sotis, even though the two were on the sa bed, he couldn’t bear to disturb her seeing her exhausted expression.
They had been married for six years, and Tingfeng and Tingxue had reached the age to attend elentary school. However, instead of fading over ti, their marital affection had deepened. Life hadn’t grown mundane with the daily routines, but rather, it was like tea, becoming richer and more fragrant with ti.
Su Zhiruan stepped out and opened the door, imdiately seeing Zhishu and Zhiying standing there.
“Big sister!! We got in! We both got in!” Su Zhiying laughed loudly, her eyebrows dancing with excitent as she waved the red admission notification in her hand, which bore the four characters all too familiar to Su Zhiruan—Jinghua University!
Over the years, Su Zhishu had beco much more reserved, but at this mont, in front of Su Zhiruan, the smile in his eyes couldn’t be hidden, “Big sister, the mont my sister and I heard this great news, the first thing we decided was to co and tell you.”
“Co in first,” Su Zhiruan, too happy for them, stepped back and invited them in.
Zhishu and Zhiying changed their shoes and went inside, sitting on the sofa.
“After all these years, you have finally achieved your longti desires,” Su Zhiruan poured water for them and said with a smile, “If mom knew all three of us had been admitted to Jinghua University, she would be very happy.”
“Big sister,” Su Zhiying, tying her hair in a ponytail, her face bright, took a step forward and deeply hugged Su Zhiruan, “If it weren’t for you, I might not have reached this point in my life.”
Qin Lianqi, holding a fruit tray, walked over and witnessing such a scene, knew the siblings had matters to discuss, so he set down the fruit tray and went upstairs.
“You two are good children, hardworking and ambitious, which is inseparably linked to your own efforts.”
Su Zhiruan felt sowhat emotional; when she first ca to this world, these two kids were skinny and timidly handed her half a coarse grain bun. They didn’t even have proper clothes to wear in the icy snow, and it was that half bun that made Su Zhiruan decide to send Zhishu and Zhiying to school, change their nas, and improve their family life.
Now, her words had co true, she had achieved her goals and could step back.
“Big sister, if it wasn’t for you, I might have already been sold to a man in the village,” Su Zhiying said trying to sound light-hearted, but unknowingly, her eyes began to mist, and soon tears stread down copiously, her voice choking, “You enabled us to study, earn money bit by bit, never despising us as burdens, brought us to Jinghua, gave us money, looked after us.”
“Big sister, my essays have won nurous awards, but what deeply impresses the most, which I still haven’t forgotten,” Su Zhishu too was moved, he lowered his eyes, reminiscing about his essays, “A thin figure of an elder sister, always shielding us from the wind and rain, always holding two big at buns, handing one to and my sister with a smile, then taking our hands and walking ho in the sunset. Those were our happiest tis.”
“Thank you, big sister, for changing our destiny.”
Zhishu and Zhiying both stepped forward and embraced Su Zhiruan, their tears gradually moistening her shoulders.
“Every day from now on will be a happy and joyful life.”
Su Zhiruan patted the shoulders of the two children and smilingly answered.
Yes, every day from now on will be a happy life.
Living in an era of rapid developnt in a new age, naturally, one should lead a joyful life and savor every beautiful day.
