Reborn as Tycoon's Wife in the Countryside-Chapter 313 - 309 Computer (Second Update)

Gao Fangzhou and Lele were staying at a hotel in the county town, and Xiaofeng asked Ershun to join them for some fun, as they were all young people and would probably enjoy themselves together.

"This computer of yours, can I learn it too?" Ershun also wanted to get a computer to play around with at home. His sister-in-law said that the future would belong to computers, and if he could figure out how to use one, wouldn’t he be a cut above the rest?

"Of course you can," Gao Fangzhou nodded earnestly. "We can teach you, and if any problems occur during operation, you could also help solve them."

He and Lele were living in Haicheng and had to attend school, so they definitely couldn’t monitor the computers’ statuses all the time.

In a word, if they were to start a computer company, they definitely needed to train many technicians and repairmen to help with computer issues.

If Ershun wanted to learn, it was the most suitable.

"If I want to learn, should I buy a computer first? How much do your computers cost?" If he were to buy a computer, he’d definitely need to ask his family for money.

He himself didn’t have much money.

"It depends on the specs; higher specs cost more. You’re a beginner, so a general spec would do; that’s about six or seven thousand."

A computer, a phone, in this era, both were luxury items; buying either could amount to several years’ income for some families.

"That much money?" Wu Ershun frowned upon hearing it, with the most expensive thing he had recently bought being the motorcycle he was riding, which cost over ten thousand.

As for other things, he usually wouldn’t buy if it was not necessary, and if something he bought was expensive, his dad would scold him for not being serious and acting like a rich kid.

Especially these days, since his dad’s issue had just been resolved, they were even more cautious at home to avoid provoking his dad’s ire, or he would definitely get a thorough scolding.

"That’s not bad, that price is for a second-hand one. More expensive ones cost over ten or twenty thousand."

"I’ll ask my brother first to see if he supports me." Wu Ershun was tight on money now and didn’t dare to ask his family, so he thought of approaching his older brother first.

"Is this something you want to do, or something your older brother wants to do?" Lele glanced at him. "You’re eighteen, right? You still have to ask your older brother about everything? Isn’t that embarrassing?"

"I don’t have any money right now, and even if I wanted to do it, I couldn’t afford it," Wu Ershun said softly. "If my brother supports me, I could ask to borrow some money from him."

"No way, is it that rough for you at home?" Gao Fangzhou felt some sympathy for Wu Ershun. "Your family seems to be pretty well-off, I heard your dad, he is... "

"I am me, my dad is my dad, besides, my dad is a pretty honest person, how could he allow me to spend money recklessly?" Wu Ershun didn’t get along well with his dad and would start arguing within a few words.

He could also understand his dad’s feelings, disappointed that he didn’t turn out as hoped. Ever since he was little, he hated studying and was naughty, frequently criticized by teachers. His performance was not as good as his brother’s, nor was he as capable, so naturally, his dad was displeased with him at every turn.

He truly hated studying; just looking at textbooks gave him a headache. He had been scolded many times by Comrade Wu Changquan for his studies.

"Alright then, think it over carefully," Lele said, preferring not to pry too much into personal matters. "If you decide you want it, just call me, and I’ll bring it over next time."

"Will you guys come here often?" If Lele and Gao Fangzhou were going to come over frequently, he’d definitely consider buying a computer.

"We probably will, as Su Xiaofeng’s trucks often travel between Haicheng and here. If there are any issues with her computers, we definitely need to come over and handle them. Of course, if you’re willing to be our technician and repairman, Fangzhou and I might be able to make fewer trips." Lele certainly had ambitions, and now that the system was successful, his goals were even clearer.

Wu Ershun’s eyes lit up; that position sounded good.

If he became a computer technician, let alone others, even his dad would have to respect him more. "I’m very interested in this technician position you mentioned. It looks like I’ll definitely need to buy a computer, but you guys wait a while for me to save up enough money then help me bring one back."

In a small place like Xijiang County, buying a computer was a difficult task. But it was different in Haicheng, where many large companies had already implemented computers in their offices, and it was quite normal for everyday people to purchase computers outside.

Of course, not everyone could afford it; it still depended on the family’s financial situation.

"As long as your money is ready, we won’t just bring you the computer, we’ll also teach you how to use it."

Dinner in the evening was at Xiaofeng’s house.

Since Gao Fangzhou and Wu Yifan knew each other, Wu Yifan and Ershun both came over that evening.

Aside from Mei Sanying and Xiaofeng, those present were all young men about twenty years old, a sight as pleasing as flowers, all at the prime age.

"Sister-in-law, I’ve decided. I want to buy a computer, learn how to use it, and then later be a technician for Fangzhou and Lele. Maybe in the future, our factory will also use computers for office work, and I can become one of our factory’s technicians."

The word ’technician’ sounds so impressive.

"Sure," Xiaofeng thought this path was entirely viable. "Study hard, and you might be needed in many areas later on."

"This idea is indeed a good one, I support you," Wu Yifan also expressed his thoughts.

"Of course I have ideas, but first, I need a computer to study computers. Big brother, could you talk to mom and ask her to give me some money? I don’t need a fancy one, a used one will do."

"You should talk to mom about your own matters. If you can’t even bring yourself to talk to mom about this, then I don’t think you should bother learning."

Wu Erfan chuckled awkwardly, fiddling with the chopsticks in front of him. It seemed he had no choice but to go and speak to mom himself.

"I thought you were the little demon king of our house, Ershun, too scared to even mention buying a computer. You’ve just risen in my esteem," at least not a spoiled young master.

"Hey, I was just asking my big brother. Of course, I will handle my own matters," Wu Ershun chuckled, "Just wait and see, I will definitely surprise everyone."

"Alright then, let’s toast to our future technician."

"Here, here."

It was just past eight in the evening when everyone had almost finished eating, and Grandma Lin came over with Lin Yue and Lin Jing.

Unlike her usual delicate attire, Grandma Lin seemed to have aged many years overnight.

She glanced at the men at the table, the Wu family’s two sons, and two other young men from who knows where.

Looking around, apart from a maid, Su Xiaofeng was the only woman.

Tsk, tsk, she always knew Su Xiaofeng was no good, but she had not expected her to go this far and invite so many people to her home for a meal.

And this young man, had he never seen a woman before, or what, to be smitten with someone like Su Xiaofeng.

Su Xiaofeng watched them approach, her eyebrows lifting slightly, but she kept silent.

Su Peng was the first to speak, "Grandma, do you have something you need by coming here?"

"Of course, there’s something," Grandma Lin was determined to ask for money. "I heard from Yuzhu that she gave Xiaofeng 20,000 yuan a few days ago. Now that Jianguo is in trouble and our family isn’t doing as well as before, I’ve come to ask, shamelessly, for you to return the 20,000 yuan Yuzhu gave you."

Grandma Lin couldn’t care less about her pride at this point.

Jianguo was in trouble anyway, so she had no need to worry about implicating him now.

A twitch appeared at the corner of Xiaofeng’s mouth. This Luo Yuzhu was really trying to make trouble for her, deliberately digging up the 20,000 yuan matter to create a reason for Grandma Lin to come and cause trouble.

"You mean this issue?" Xiaofeng drew out her words. "Yes, that indeed happened, and Luo Yuzhu was adamant about giving it to me. Since she gave it to me, I naturally have the right to decide whether to return it to you or not."

"Well then, return the money to us. Luo Yuzhu isn’t your mother, and you have no relation to her. You really have the nerve to take her 20,000 yuan," Lin Jing might not have cared about 20,000 yuan before, but now things were different.

The valuable things and cash at home had been confiscated; the family had no money and naturally needed to find ways to get some.

"What relation do I have with you? Why should I return it to you?" Xiaofeng’s tone was icy.

"You little tramp," Grandma Lin, inflamed by her tone, exclaimed, "A lady of the house inviting so many men to her home for a meal in the dead of night, don’t think I don’t know what you’re scheming. You’re just..."

Xiaofeng’s eyes darkened, and she picked up the bowl in her hand and threw it at Grandma Lin’s feet.

With a clang, the bowl shattered on the ground at Grandma Lin’s feet.

Standing beside Grandma Lin, Lin Jing and Lin Yue immediately jumped aside, afraid the shards might hurt them.
