Su Yan left the space and looked at her watch. It was almost eleven o'clock. She went to pick up the children first and then came back to cook.

After locking the door and walking to the elevator, she ran into Mrs. Xu who was about to throw away the trash. Seeing Su Yan was about to leave, Mrs. Xu hesitated for a moment and said, "Ms. Su, are you going out?"

"Well, go pick up the kids for dinner."

"Did those escorts bring you money today? How did you take out so much money and put it at home?"

"I was going to pay for the house this afternoon. The developer offered me a discount if I paid in cash, so I took the money out."

With this explanation, they should no longer suspect that her family has a large amount of cash stored. She can just ask the children to carry an empty box each and go out in the afternoon.

"Oh, I see."

Su Yan went to the securities company to pick up the children and started cooking for them. They had hot pot in the evening, and for lunch she made them boiled fish fillet, beer duck, and red mushroom and lean meat soup.

Lu Yining exclaimed that it was delicious, "Mom, you haven't made boiled fish for E'oh in a long time. This beer duck is also delicious and spicy."

"If it tastes good, eat more. We're having hot pot tonight."

"Chicken hotpot or turtle hotpot?"

"I'll satisfy you all. Eat both the chicken and the turtle. I'm going to the bank with the staff from Repulse Bay this afternoon, so I might be back a little late."

Lu Yiming put down his chopsticks and said, "Mom, come with me to the securities company first. I've got two more stocks I'm interested in, and I can't operate them without you."

"Okay, I'll buy the stocks you're interested in this afternoon, and I'll go back to work. But you'll have to take a taxi home in the evening. The securities company is very close to home anyway, and it only takes ten minutes to get there."

"Mom, let's walk back."

"It's all commercial area nearby. It takes at least half an hour to walk."

"Just think of it as shopping. Let's walk back slowly. When we get back, we'll make the soup base and prepare the hot pot dishes. It's okay if you come back later, Mom."

"Okay, I'll come back when I'm done."

After dinner, Su Yan cleared out the boxes containing gold and money. When she went out in the afternoon, she asked her three children to carry a box each to the parking lot. She did not meet the Xu family but met another neighbor.

Su Yan didn't care about that. As long as someone saw them carrying the boxes out, it was fine. The three Lu Yiming brothers didn't understand what their mother was trying to do. Lu Yining couldn't help but complain, "Mom, what do you want to do by taking three empty boxes out of the house?"

"Get ready to go back home and buy New Year's goods!"

Lu Yining was speechless, "Mom, you bought New Year's goods in Hong Kong and brought them back to Beijing. Wouldn't it be nice to use this box to pack clothes?"

"This time when you go back, each of you will carry two suitcases. The big one will be checked in, and the small one will be carried on the plane."

"But are we going to put all the milk powder we buy into the suitcase?"

"You can tie the bag to the suitcase. It's not easy for you to come to Hong Kong City. Bring some extra things back."

Lu Yining thought about it and it made sense. He was going to the United States next year, so it would probably be a few years before he would come to Hong Kong again. It was indeed his mother who had foresight. It was just carrying two suitcases, not a big deal.

Su Yan took her three children to the securities company and, as Lu Yiming requested, invested all of the 1.13 million yuan in her account into the stock market.

After finishing it, she went to UBS and Credit America to open an account respectively, and planned to take out 100 million from the money originally deposited in HSBC and deposit it into these two banks respectively.

However, transferring large sums of money to other banks requires an application and approval. The bank manager asked her a bunch of questions, and Su Yan had to use her son as an excuse again, saying that her son was studying abroad and they also wanted to buy real estate abroad.

The manager told her that there were HSBC banks abroad as well. Su Yan naturally knew this, and she explained that there was no HSBC bank near her child's school.

The manager had no choice but to approve it and transfer the money to her after the senior management stamped it.

After the transfer was completed, Su Yan waited at HSBC Bank for another half an hour, waiting for the Repulse Bay sales manager to come and complete the house purchase procedures.

By the time I finished everything, it was already 5:20. It seemed that I couldn't go to the Housing Authority today and couldn't get the property certificate. I probably had to run around for another day.

After leaving the bank, Su Yan pulled two empty suitcases to the supermarket and bought a lot of candies, biscuits and nuts, filling the two suitcases.

After leaving the supermarket and putting her suitcase back in the car, she took another suitcase to the pharmacy and bought a bunch of medicine, such as Huang Daoyi Huoluo Oil, Tiger Balm, Sakura Guo Jiuxin Pills, Baoji Pills, Taihedong Long-term Cough Pills, Shuangfeiren Medicine Syrup, Clam Shell Stomach Powder, and Wu Centipede Cough Pills...

It was not enough to fill the suitcase, so Su Yan also brought two large bags. She planned to put the medicines in the bags into the storage space, and the medicines in the suitcase were those that could pass security checks.

It was already seven o'clock when Su Yan got home after shopping. She took out the three suitcases from the space while opening the door.

Lu Yiming came out as soon as he heard the door open. "Mom, how did you carry three boxes up here by yourself?"

"I took them to the elevator one by one and then pulled them up together."

Lu Yiming picked up a box and found it a little heavy. "Mom, did you really go shopping for New Year's goods?"

"Well, we're buying New Year's goods for the Little New Year. The one you're carrying is filled with nuts and candies, so of course it's heavy. The other box is filled with chocolates and various biscuits, so it's not that heavy."

At this time, Lu Yining also ran over, "Let me help you carry it, Mom, why are you back so late? We have been waiting for you for a long time."

"After leaving the bank, I went to the supermarket and then to the pharmacy to buy some backup medicine."

"Mom, you bought another box of medicine this time, and there are still a lot of medicines at home that haven't been used up."

"These are for giving as gifts. Your grandparents are old, so it would be convenient to prepare some medicine for them."

Lu Yining chuckled, "It's the end of the year now. If you give medicine to your elders, they will definitely think you want to curse them."

"What are you talking about, brat? I'm doing this for their own good, how can it be a curse? It's not like I'm sending them medicine on New Year's Day."

"Okay, Mom, don't be angry. I was wrong, okay? Let's eat first. I'm really hungry."

Su Yan didn't argue with him. She pushed the suitcase back to the living room and went into the bathroom to wash her hands and eat.

Seeing his mother come to the table, Lu Yian quickly handed her the bowl and chopsticks, "Mom, we thought you should be back by now, so we put the chicken and turtle into the hot pot in advance. It should be ready to eat now, try it."

Su Yan picked up a piece of the turtle's skirt and took a bite. The skirt was not very soft, and the turtle in the space looked more like a wild turtle.

Lu Yiming also picked up a piece of soft-shelled turtle and sighed as he ate. "The soft-shelled turtles that my grandfather and his family raised in the countryside eat feed and offal, so they're easily cooked. The soft-shelled turtles that my mom bought in Hong Kong are more like wild ones, and the edges are chewier."

The turtles in the space pond are naturally raised and really look like wild turtles. The king turtles in it look at least several decades old. However, those king turtles cannot be caught with ground traps unless the pond is drained and dug out from the mud.

If she was lucky, she could lure one or two up with goose liver, but unfortunately, her space only had chickens and ducks, no geese.
