"No more." Charlie said indifferently, "He gavea total of ten pieces, and | estimate that it should

be worth about four million dollars."

"Oh, my God!" Elaine exclaimed happily, "If you were to ask me, the four million dollars seem to be

a pretty moderate amount. It's not too little, but not too much either..."

As she spoke of this, her eyes looked like they were smiling as she held up a piece of the gold bar

and said, "still, | feel that it's pretty shocking to exchange these gold bars for four million dollars in

cash. This gold and glittering look of the gold bar is really too festive!" Charlie nodded and said, "I

originally planned to exchange the gold bars for cash before bringing it back. However, after

thinking about it, we do not have any precious metal reserves at home. So, we might as well store

these ten gold bars as a deposit at has it can also bear the inflation.”

Elaine nodded repeatedly and said in agreement," That's right! The prices of houses are not going

up now, and the prices of stocks are falling. So, the price of gold is still relatively strong!"

As she spoke, Elaine was a little embarrassed as she looked at Charlie and laughed as she said, "Oh,

my good son-in-law, you see, I've never played with gold bars before in my life. This thing is shiny,

heavy, and

feels quite good. Why don't you giveone piece so that I can play with it when I have nothing to

do?"

Claire could not help but laugh as she blurted out,” Mom, have you ever seen anyone who plays

with gold bars when they have nothing to do?"

Elaine said righteously, "Haven't you heard people saying that everything can be done?! If | hold this big gold bar

in my hand, | can also use it as a dumbbell to strengthen my body!"

Charlie laughed immediately and said, "Mom, you're right. You can just take it and use it as a dumbbell for fun,

then!"

As soon as Elaine heard this, she hugged the gold bar happily in her arms and said happily, "Thank you, my good

son-in-law!"

Claire hurriedly said, "Mom, this is remuneration that someone gave to Charlie. So, can you not get involved in it

just like that?"

Elaine muttered discontentedly, "Claire, this is a gift from Charlie to me. This is Charlie's intention, so why are

you constantly spoiling things for me?"

Claire said seriously, "I'm not trying to spoil things for you, but I'm just afraid that you're up to no good again."

Charlie, who was aside, persuaded Claire, "Forget it, Claire. If Mom likes it, just let her play with it. Don't mind it."

Elaine held the gold bar as she said to Claire, "Claire, since Charlie is fine with it, you should not continue

nagging here."

After saying that, Elaine turned her eyes and looked at Charlie as she smiled and said, "Charlie... my good son-in-

law... that... can | discuss something with you?" Charlie had already long gotten accustomed to

Elaine's antics and so, he did not wait for Elaine to continue speaking before he asked her directly, "Mom, are

you going to say that it is not convenient for you to have only one dumbbell and that there should be two? Is it

only suitable for you to have one in each hand to exercise?"

Elaine slapped her thighs and said excitedly, "Oh, my! My good

son-in-law, you really understandbest! Don't you think that dumbbells always cin pairs? It's called

fitnesswhen | have one dumbbell in each hand that is going up and down alternatively. If | only have one

dumbbell, perhaps one of my arms will be thick, whereas the other will

be thin after a while..."

Charlie nodded. After that, he picked up another gold bar and shoved it into her arms directly as he said readily,

"Here! Take it! I'll give both of the gold bars to you!"

Elaine was overjoyed. She held one gold bar in each of her hands as she sat down on the sofa happily, swaying

left and right.

When Claire saw Elaine acting like this, she was completely helpless, and she could only remind

Elaine, "Mom! You cannot secretly sell these gold bars

away!"

Elaine hurriedly agreed and said, "Oh! Don't worry! I'll never sell it!"

er

Claire let out a long sigh and then said to Charlie," Honey, | suggest that you go to the bank to rent

a safe deposit box tomorrow so that you can put all these gold bars in the bank It's not very safe to

put them at home, after all."

Elaine was angry, and she said discontentedly, "Claire, you have been insinuating aboutall

night! Am I really that unreliable in your eyes? Do you think that I will steal these gold bars if

Charlie were to leave them at home?" Claire hurriedly said, "Mom, that's not what I mean... | just

think that it's not safe for us to have so many gold bars in the house in case there are thieves..."

After saying that, Claire then added, "I also suggest that you deposit the two pieces of gold bars

that you have into the bank too. If you really want to work out, 1 will go and buy a pair of ladies’

dumbbells for you tomorrow." "No!" Elaine hugged the two gold bars and said, "I'm going to use

them, and I will also put them under my pillow when I sleep at night!"

At this time, Charlie glanced at Claire and then said," Okay, that's enough, Claire. Mom can do

whatever she likes. So, don't worry about it anymore!"
