Shen Yi's hand holding the lottery ticket was trembling. The second number also matched. With a look of shock on Shen Yi's face, the last number was also correct.
Time ticked by. The whole living room was completely silent, except for the sound from the TV.
"The prize money for this first - prize winner is doubled, amounting to 2.55 million yuan in total."
The voice sounded from the TV again. Shen Nanyi felt a bit disappointed. From the news she had seen before, lottery winners usually got tens of millions, but she only got a bit over two million. The most important thing was that a large part of this was her task funds.
After deducting that, there would be little left. Not to mention that the system had given her a task worth 100,000 yuan. By this calculation, 2.5 million yuan might just be enough.
"Did we read it wrong? Check it again."
After about five minutes, Shen Yi finally came to his senses and stammered. His mind was still in a daze.
"I've checked it five times already."
Zhao Shuyan whispered weakly. Her mood was extremely complicated. Logically, winning a big lottery should make one happy, but Zhao Shuyan always felt that it was all so unreal. Had their family's luck been too good recently?
"……"
"……"
The living room fell into a long - lasting silence again. Holding the lottery ticket in his hand, Shen Yi felt as if it weighed a thousand jin.
No one could understand Shen Yi's current mood. Thinking about how he had refused the lottery - shop owner's suggestion to increase his bet at noon, Shen Yi felt his heart aching.
"Do we need to pay taxes for winning the lottery?"
After a few more minutes, Zhao Shuyan finally digested the news and spoke in a low voice.
Thinking about how her daughter had casually picked up an antique worth over 4 million yuan in the antique market before, winning the lottery didn't seem that hard to accept.
"20% tax. We should get about two million yuan after tax."
Looking at his daughter on the sofa, Shen Yi said. He always felt that he hadn't just raised a daughter, but a money - making god.
No matter what his daughter wanted to do in the future, he would unconditionally agree!
On the sofa, Shen Nanyi didn't say a word. She was having a serious talk with the system.
"So, the task funds for the last time were two million yuan, the random task was 10,000 yuan, and now the task is 100,000 yuan. Do I have to pay out of my own pocket?"
At this moment, Shen Nanyi really wanted to curse. Why were other people's systems so generous, eager to let the female protagonist earn tens of millions a day, while her own system was so stingy that she even had to pay money herself?
The system fell into complete silence. Different from its sweet voice, it maintained its usual coldness.
"You're at least a system. Can't you be more generous? Are you really willing to let a kid like me keep paying out of my own pocket?!"
Shen Nanyi wasn't going to let it go easily and continued. She was determined to get an explanation from the system today!
"Wealth is precious, but life is more so."
As if unable to bear Shen Nanyi's nagging, the system calmly replied, its sweet voice showing a bit of calmness.
"……"
All the words Shen Nanyi wanted to say were blocked. She had no way to fight back.
Fine, fine. At least she didn't lose too much. Shen Nanyi kept comforting herself.
As long as she could keep her life, everything else was okay!
What could she do when she had a stingy and inseparable, proud system? Of course, she had to work hard to make money to support it.
On the other hand, it had become a habit for the lottery - shop owner to watch the lottery - number announcement on time. But today, the more she watched, the more familiar the numbers seemed.
Suddenly thinking of something, she rummaged through the trash can for a while and finally found the note Shen Yi had given her before. Looking closely at the numbers on it, the owner was completely stunned.
After standing still for a few minutes, the owner quickly rushed to the drawer, took out the two coins Shen Yi had given her, and placed them directly on the table.
After looking at them for a while, it seemed that something was still missing. The owner then took out an incense burner that hadn't been used for many years from the storage room and placed it on top.
She decided that from now on, she wouldn't worship the God of Wealth anymore. Instead, she would worship these coins.
After thinking about it, the owner felt that it was still not enough. She decided to order a large banner tomorrow and hang it at the shop entrance. From now on, her shop had also had a first - prize winner. Just a banner didn't seem grand enough. She also had to invite a gong - and - drum team...
The more the lottery - shop owner thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed. Without caring that it was already night, she took her phone and went out to find a gong - and - drum team.
Shen Yi probably never thought that his winning the lottery would bring business to the gong - and - drum team that had been idle for a long time.
Early the next morning, the moving company arrived at Shen Yi's house on time. They quickly and neatly moved all the things that needed to be moved. Their efficiency was extremely high.
Holding Shen Nanyi, Zhao Shuyan wanted to help several times, but was always refused by the staff from the moving company, who said that it was their job.
Thinking about the chaos when she first moved out of her rented house, Zhao Shuyan once again felt the benefits of being rich.
Logically, Shen Yi should have been there at this time, but he said that there was an urgent matter at the company and he had to go back. He left early in the morning. Zhao Shuyan didn't suspect a thing and said that she understood.
The moving process was extremely smooth. It was a one - stop service. After moving to the new house, the service staff tidied everything up properly. Zhao Shuyan didn't need to worry about anything.
After seeing off the moving staff, Zhao Shuyan and Shen Nanyi sat on the hanging chair on the balcony, looking at the scenery downstairs. Zhao Shuyan still couldn't quite believe it.
The doorbell rang. Looking at the person outside through the monitor, Zhao Shuyan was in a daze for a long time and even forgot to open the door.
It wasn't until the doorbell rang again that Zhao Shuyan came to her senses. She opened the door in a hurry. One could clearly see that her eyes were red.
Stretching her neck and looking at the door, Shen Nanyi was quite curious to know who could make the usually gentle Zhao Shuyan change her expression.
It was Shen Yi who wanted to come in. Behind him were two kind - looking old people. They were simply dressed. If you looked closely, you could see that their eyebrows were somewhat similar to Zhao Shuyan's.
"Mom, Dad? Why didn't you tell me in advance that you were coming?"
After a while, Zhao Shuyan still didn't dare to step forward. Counting carefully, the whole family hadn't seen each other for almost two years.
Previously, Zhao Shuyan had been very busy with work. The two old people were afraid of the expensive travel expenses and told Zhao Shuyan to go back less often. Later, when Zhao Shuyan was pregnant, the two old people wanted to come, but the travel expenses made them hesitate.
Moreover, the place they lived in at that time had limited conditions, so Zhao Shuyan didn't force them. Suddenly seeing her parents in front of her, Zhao Shuyan's mood was indescribable.
"Let's go inside and talk."
Holding his wife's hand, Shen Yi led her inside. Seeing Zhao Shuyan happy, he felt that all his planning for the past few days was worth it.
After just a few words, Shen Nanyi figured out the relationship between these people. Without a doubt, these should be her maternal grandparents.
Having never seen them before, Shen Nanyi couldn't help but look them up and down, filled with curiosity.
Suddenly, Shen Nanyi thought of something. Looking at the two of them, her eyes sparkled. Their intimacy level was zero, and it wasn't said that blood - related people were excluded.
