Chapter 537: A Wife and a Sister Are Ultimately Different

"The Gao Qiao family is considered relatively powerful, and the Nakamura family is barely considered a vassal of the Gao Qiao family, but the Gao Qiao family has been going downhill all these years, let alone the Nakamura family..."
Li Ye chatted with Old Song for a while, and Junko knocked on the door outside.
"Sir, your friend is looking for you downstairs."
Li Ye knew it was his bodyguard who came in, so he said to Old Song: "I have to go. You are here alone, pay attention to safety. If it really doesn't work, go back. I guess the Nakamura family will soon be unable to take care of things in Beijing."
Back then, Old Song hid in Japan to "hide under the lamp" for the disappearance of Nakamura Naoto, but looking at him now, Li Ye felt that the old guy had a bit of "happy and not thinking of home" meaning.
It's as if the environment in the mainland limited the performance of people like Old Song, while in Japan, this capitalist society, he could be like a fish in water.
"Zhuangyuan-lang came here with great difficulty, how can you leave so quickly? No, no, you must eat before you leave."
Old Song pulled Li Ye and wouldn't let him leave, calling Junko over to help him change clothes, insisting on entertaining Li Ye well.
Li Ye watched Junko go to the changing room with Old Song, not knowing whether their appearance was good or bad.
Japanese women are indeed gentle at home, but they are very clear about what they need. If a man goes bankrupt, the woman will immediately carry the child and leave, and will never look at that failed man again.
So saying Japanese women are gentle to their husbands is better than saying they are gentle to their "meal ticket."
Li Ye went downstairs first and wandered around the shop on the first floor, looking at the various objects in the counter.
He knew Old Song's habit; the best things wouldn't be put on the counter for sale, so he just looked around casually.
But when he saw a gold bracelet, Li Ye was stunned for a moment.
Because this bracelet was very familiar.
The day before yesterday, when Li Ye was on the bus, he saw that Chu Chu Yunling had a gold bracelet on her hand that was exactly the same as this one.
Old Song happened to come down and said with a smile: "Zhuangyuan-lang likes this bracelet? If you like it, I'll wrap it up for you."
Li Ye frowned slightly and said: "Where did you get this bracelet? You didn't pick it up when you went to the film festival site yesterday, did you?"
Old Song smiled: "Still can't hide it from you, I collected this from that female comrade in your group yesterday."
Li Ye asked strangely: "How did she know you were buying and selling antiques?"
Old Song pointed to the Sichuan-Chongqing restaurant outside the shop: "Look at that Sichuan-Chongqing restaurant over there? There is a chef inside who is a fellow villager of that female comrade; it was he who helped bridge the line,"
"I happened to be going to Tokyo, so I collected it by the way, and because it was a fellow villager, I gave a fair price, 500,000 yen."
Li Ye had an impression when he came in; there was indeed a Sichuan-Chongqing restaurant diagonally opposite Datang Cultural Society, but a chef being able to bridge the line with Chu Chu Yunling was very interesting.
"Why didn't that chef collect it himself, and then sell it to you to make a small profit?"
Old Song explained while taking Li Ye out: "That chef came last year and is still a black household; he doesn't dare to go to Tokyo at all,"
"And that female comrade is very capable, only recognizing money and not people. I tried to build a relationship with her, but she cried poor to me; she is a tough character, and that chef didn't have the capital in his hands, so it was better to bridge the line and earn an introduction fee."
"Heh, capable."
Li Ye really admired that Chu Chu Yunling.
Being able to let go of her face, being able to let go, daring to bring cultural relics through customs, if she could build a relationship with those people in the group, let everyone bring an electrical appliance back for her, or simply bring yen back to exchange on the black market, she could earn another sum.
That is, she has no bottom line between men and women; otherwise, Li Ye would have wanted to recruit her into his entrepreneurial team.
Li Ye originally thought Old Song would take him to eat Chinese food; after all, there are at least two hundred restaurants in Yokohama Chinatown, and some of them taste quite authentic.
But Old Song insisted on taking Li Ye to soak in hot springs and eat cuisine.
"I never act like a big boss in my own people's shops; I just like to enjoy the kneeling service here. This feeling... is more comfortable than when I frequented brothels in the provincial capital back then."
Old Song took a banknote and waved it at a waiter waiting not far away, and the waiter ran over with small steps and muttered a lot of Japanese.
Li Ye originally thought Old Song knew a little Japanese; he had been in Japan for more than half a year and could answer fluently.
As a result, this old guy insisted not to, just like those old-school Japanese men, just a "Oi," and then made a gesture that Li Ye couldn't understand.
The waiter's two eyeballs turned a few times quickly, and then started various services, all guessing Old Song's meaning, and guessed very accurately.
What kind of translation is needed? Isn't banknotes the translation?
Old Song sighed: "If it comes to the ability to serve people, Japanese people say they are number one, no one dares to say number two. Over there... hi, it's a new society, let's not talk about it, let's not talk about it."
"Heh"
Li Ye smiled; if it comes to personal entertainment, he, who had seen business KTV in his previous life, was not as good as this guy!
Li Ye had a very comfortable day and didn't return to the hotel until it was almost dark.
Just as he walked to the door of the room, the door of 8006 next door opened.
Mother Fu Fu Guiru looked calm and nudged her chin, signaling Li Ye to "come in and chat" with an unrefusable look.
After entering Fu Fu Guiru's room 8006, Li Ye found that Fu Fu Yiruo and Wen Wen Leyu were also there.
"Bang"
Li Ye entered the room, Fu Fu Guiru closed the door, and then asked reproachfully: "Where did you go to wander all day? You only came back at this time?"
"This isn't late!" Li Ye said righteously: "It's not even eight o'clock; even a married man coming back at eight is a good man, let alone me..."
"Stop your glib tongue," Fu Fu Guiru interrupted impatiently, then asked: "Tell me, did you go to play pinball?"
"Pinball? Are there pinball machines now?"
Li Ye was stunned for a moment, remembered something, and then shook his head: "No, didn't go to play games, I'll go see tomorrow."
"I'll let you go see tomorrow!"
Fu Fu Guiru slapped Li Ye on the forehead, not light or heavy, and then asked decisively: "Tell me, where else did you go?"
Li Ye looked aggrieved: "You can just go ask those two bodyguards directly; I just went out for a day..."
"You just went out for a day; how many days have you been in Japan in total? Since you met Little Yu, how many trips have you taken together? You have a girlfriend and don't accompany her, but go out to wander by yourself for what?"
Fu Fu Guiru questioned him "tut tut tut," her eyes winking directly at Li Ye.
Li Ye finally understood that his mother wasn't supporting her daughter-in-law, but was covering for her son!
There are so many interesting places in Japan; what is pinball? Don't go anywhere else.
Sister Fu Fu Yiruo also came to help: "Brother, we went to soak in hot springs with Mom today; sister-in-law didn't eat at noon, and only ate a little at night. You don't care about your girlfriend, but run out to play by yourself..."
Li Ye looked at Wen Wen Leyu in surprise, just in time to see Wen Wen Leyu blushing and glaring at sister Fu Fu Yiruo.
The sister was indeed a biological sister; she seemed to be complaining about Li Ye, but actually, she was explaining the situation to him. You left your sister-in-law alone for a day, and she was so angry she didn't eat all day; you should ponder how to coax her yourself!
"You went to soak in hot springs? Why didn't you say so earlier? And didn't bring me..."
Li Ye smoothly changed the subject, regretting why the family of four left him behind.
Fu Fu Guiru was so angry she almost laughed; what kind of face does this son of hers have, actually turning the tables.
However, what Li Ye did next made Fu Fu Guiru, Fu Fu Yiruo, and Wen Wen Leyu ashamed.
Li Ye took off his backpack from his shoulder and took out a pear wood jewelry box 30 cm long and 50 cm wide.
Opening the box, it was divided into eight small grids, each with a piece of women's jewelry.
Jade bracelets, pearl necklaces, gemstone earrings, jade pendants... each one was a good thing.
Old Song was a ghost-smart person; seeing Wen Wen Leyu personally put on and take off armor for Li Ye yesterday, how could he not know how to please Li Ye? Today he let Junko prepare the things, and when he left, he stuffed them into Li Ye's bag.
"These things, some flowed over from our side decades ago; a friend does this business, I think they are good, so I went over and picked a few, you guys divide them..."
Li Ye said while pushing the jewelry box to Wen Wen Leyu.
Wen Wen Leyu blinked, although full of surprise, she still smiled and pushed it to Fu Fu Guiru, clearly wanting the future mother-in-law to make the decision.
After all, who has the highest combat power in the family now, the little girl still knows.
Don't look at Li Ye being arrogant, but Fu Fu Guiru slapped him, and he didn't even dare to dodge.
"Let me make the decision! Then I won't be polite."
Fu Fu Guiru smiled unceremoniously and took that pearl necklace and put it on her neck.
Then she picked up the smallest necklace pendant and handed it to her daughter Fu Fu Yiruo.
But Fu Fu Yiruo didn't take it, but pointed to the jade bracelet and said: "Mom, I want to try that..."
"That doesn't look good on you; your arms are too thick..."
Fu Fu Yiruo, who was scolded by her mother, pouted and tearfully took the pendant in her hand.
Her wrists were clearly as thin as her sister-in-law's; how could it be "too thick"?
But Fu Fu Yiruo, who grew up with her mother, knew very well that if she dared to say half a "no" at this time, she wouldn't even get this smallest one.
"Clap"
The box closed and was pushed back in front of Wen Wen Leyu.
Wen Wen Leyu looked at the sister-in-law with her mouth pouting high and said with a smile: "It's not convenient for me to bring so many jewelry back; Auntie and Xiaoruo help me share it!"
In fact, in this era, passing customs to the mainland, these jewelry are really not as strictly checked as industrial products; you wear a jade bracelet, maybe it's not as eye-catching as two video recorders.
In the 90s, the peddlers going to Russia returning to the mainland, three video recorders, as long as one entered the customs, they could break even, but the situation of all three being smashed was not uncommon.
"Okay, I'll help you share two pieces."
As soon as Wen Wen Leyu finished speaking, Fu Fu Yiruo quickly picked up the jade bracelet and put it on her hand, and proudly shook it in front of her mother.
The fair skin set off the moist jade bracelet; if you insist on saying it doesn't look good, that would be too overbearing.
Fu Fu Guiru was also angry and amused; the harmony between the sister-in-law and sister naturally made her, the mother-in-law, gratified, but her own silly girl, can't take the sister-in-law's generosity for granted, right?
However, looking at her own silly son again, still looking at her sister with doting eyes...
I have to nag him later; a wife and a sister are ultimately different.
