Professor Xu could hardly believe it at first and even feared it was a setup, but after asking a friend, it turned out to be true.
All the procedures were in place, they just needed to pay the tax on their windfall.
When the couple returned home, they still felt like they were dreaming.
This was like a pie falling from the sky.
Professor Xu couldn't help but reflect, "I said before we got married that I would get you a big house, but I never expected... to fulfill that promise in such a way."
The couple had been happily married for twenty years.
Although they were not rich, both were content and happy.
Still, Professor Xu would sometimes feel envious when he saw other men's wives able to afford luxury clothes and handbags, his wife had to lead an ordinary life with him.
But he could not bring himself to do what An Congxin did.
He could only teach and educate people with honesty and integrity.
So, he would never be rich in this lifetime.
