Li Chu couldn't figure out who his daughter inherited her thick skin from.

After Li Wenhui came in, she went straight to the dogs that were also eating, and petted and teased one of them.

Shen Yi also walked up to the dog. He looked at the porcelain bowls the dog used for eating, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke up.

"Dad, there are some rumors circulating outside lately."

"Xiao Yi, are you referring to the rumors about antique porcelain?"

"You know?"

"Yes, I've heard it from others too."

“Then this is what our dog uses…” Shen Yi pointed to it.

The dogs that were eating seemed to know what they were talking about. When they saw him pointing at their bowls, they stopped eating, raised their heads, and bared their teeth at him, which startled Shen Yi so much that he quickly withdrew his hand.

"Haha...you even dare to mess with our dog's bowl! Be careful they really bite you. I don't even dare to touch their bowls casually." Li Wenhui laughed heartlessly when she saw her husband's frightened appearance.

These dogs were just trying to scare him, but if she and her father weren't here today, and Shen Yi still dared to try to take those bowls, they wouldn't bite him, but they would definitely make him look bad.

Li Chu smiled and glanced at the bowls of the dogs: "These are all from the Republic of China era. They're not really antiques. I keep the valuable ones. Do you want them? I still have some Republic of China bowls. I'll get you two new ones."

"I don't want it." Shen Yi immediately shook his head upon hearing this: "I have no use for this. I just thought our dog's food bowl was an antique."

"It's not that exaggerated. That would be too extravagant. Apart from the imperial palace in the past, who would use an antique as a food bowl for a dog?"

The fact that the dog's food bowl was replaced with these Republic-era porcelain pieces was purely due to Li Chu's perverse sense of humor.

Fortunately, these dogs don't fight or snatch food, otherwise these bowls might have been smashed to pieces long ago.

"Xiao Yi, where did you hear this rumor from?"

“There’s someone in our department who likes to collect these things. He knows I’m your son-in-law, so he came over to ask me about it.”

"Well, we do have a few good things that are worth some money. I'll divide them equally between you and Wenxuan later. These things can be family heirlooms."

"I don't want to, Dad. This thing isn't something you can eat or drink. I'd feel awkward using it." Li Wenhui shook her head firmly.

Li Chu blinked and looked at his daughter, saying, "Someone offered me 100,000 for the bowl on the cabinet in my study, but I didn't sell it."

Upon hearing this, the courtyard fell silent, and everyone stared wide-eyed at him.

What does 100,000 mean? None of us here have ever seen that much money at once.

Wang Jun swallowed hard: "That bowl on the bookshelf in your study?"

"yes!"

"Worth 100,000?"

"That's right, someone sent a message through a middleman a while ago saying they wanted to buy it."

Why won't you sell?

"Are you short of money?"

"I... I don't lack money, but that's 100,000!"

"I know it's worth 100,000, but we're not short of money. Why would we sell it? This thing is history; wouldn't it be better for us to keep it and appreciate it ourselves?"

Wang Jun was momentarily speechless at these words, but then he realized that he had only been stunned by the number 100,000. Although his and Li Qiaoyun's combined salaries were far less than Li Chu's, they were still financially secure, so having that much money was indeed useless.

Seeing that everyone was gradually coming to their senses, Li Chu continued, "These antiques, well, they are all witnesses to history. I keep them for appreciation, but if I ever need money urgently in the future, I can still sell them for cash."

"Hurry up and eat, Junzi. Weren't you two going out? It'll be late."

"Oh, I'm already full."

"Then go to the pharmacy in front and load the medicine into the car first. I've already packed all the medicine; it's in that big bag on the table."

"OK"

Li Wenhui was probably the least interested in money. She patted Dasheng's head and said with a smile, "Dad, why don't you just give Dasheng that bowl in your study?"

"Ahem... How can you be so wasteful? Even if our family is not short of money, we can't just squander things that we know are valuable."

After dinner, and after Wang Jun and Li Qiaoyun drove back to her parents' home, Li Chu, somewhat smugly, led his daughter and son-in-law to his small antique storage room.

Looking at the neatly arranged wooden boxes on the display shelf in the small room, Li Wenhui asked incredulously, "Dad, you're not trying to tell me that these boxes are filled with the same thing as that bowl outside, are you?"

"Pretty much, there are quite a few that are more valuable than that."

Shen Yi was at a loss for words. Every time he thought he had figured out his father-in-law's family, his father-in-law would always come up with something new.

The young couple carefully opened a box. Looking at the bottles inside, they couldn't tell the difference between good and bad; they just felt that the box contained stacks of money.

After watching for a while, the three of them came out of the study and sat on the sofa in the living room.

Even though she didn't care much for money, Li Wenhui was still a little dizzy when she heard about the value of the room full of antiques. It took her a while to come to her senses after sitting on the sofa for a while.

"Dad, is our family really that rich?"

“We don’t have much money, okay? Those things are valuable, but we need to be able to sell them.” Li Chu waved his hand, then looked down and took out a stack of coupons from the coffee table drawer and tossed them to Shen Yi: “Xiao Yi, here are some oil coupons for you.”

"Dad, we still have some here."

"Take it if it's given to you. If you run out, get it from here. Don't ask other places at work for anything."

"I know, Dad."

Running around to secure funds is no joke, especially for someone like Shen Yi who works in the finance department and wields significant financial power. If he relaxes his self-discipline, it would be incredibly easy for him to become corrupt.

"By the way, you two can go together tomorrow at noon to buy some things and visit your Grandpa Chang in the VIP ward. He's hospitalized there and just had surgery."

"Dad, is the Grandpa Chang you're talking about Chang Bin's father?" Li Wenhui, who was eating sunflower seeds, asked after thinking for a moment.

"Yes, that's Chang Laosan's father."

"Oh, honey, then come over for lunch with me tomorrow after you get off work." Li Wenhui said as she fed Shen Yi some sunflower seeds she had just peeled.

Li Chu was caught off guard by this unexpected display of affection, and he waved his hand in annoyance.

"Go back, go back, you two go back to your own places."

"Hehehe..." Wen Hui laughed happily, her face beaming with smugness, having finally gotten her revenge.

Shen Yi was still a little dazed, not knowing what had happened. They were having a good talk when his father-in-law suddenly started kicking them out.

"Hmph~ It doesn't feel good, does it, Dad?"
