Chapter 721 A Box of Gold Bars

But Helian Jiao, the only one who could see it, asked with some curiosity, "Who is Zhang Zaixian?"

Upon hearing the name, Chen Jianjun's mind immediately stirred: "My dear, what did the old man say?"

"The old man said he wanted to give the house to us, but not to a beast named Zhang Zaixian," Helian Jiao said truthfully.

Chen Jianjun thought of his female neighbor's words, paused for a moment, and said, "Grandpa, we still can't accept this house. We can't accept something for nothing. But I can help donate the money to the country."

Then, looking at her daughter, she said softly, "Sweetie, go back to your room and go to sleep."

Helian Jiao nodded and said nonchalantly to the two ghosts, "Dad said we don't want this house anymore!"

She'll buy a bigger and better place for her grandparents to live next year!

With that, he turned and went back to his room to sleep.

She went back to her room to sleep, so there was no one left to act as a medium for communication between humans and ghosts.

Although the old gentleman felt some regret and helplessness, he was mostly gratified.

There are still more good people than bad in this world!

Then, watching Chen Jianjun move the bluestone slab aside, revealing an exquisite wooden box made of sandalwood.

Upon opening it, all that was inside, besides a land deed, were gold bars!

A whole box of gold bars!

Anyone with a weak will would hesitate and struggle when faced with so many gold bars.

But Chen Jianjun's eyes showed no sign of greed.

He said solemnly, "Sir, tomorrow I will donate this money to the country in your name."

"No need, anonymous donation is fine," the old man said, shaking his head.

He wasn't after these empty titles; he just wanted to make a final contribution to the country.

But Chen Jianjun couldn't hear him at all. After putting the wooden box in the warehouse, he went back to his room to sleep.

The next morning, Chen Jianjun, who was very proactive, finished breakfast and donated the gold bars, receiving a banner and a letter of thanks in return.

On the way back, he bought a bicycle and rode it back.

Lu Xiaofen went to the market to buy meat and vegetables because she had promised to treat the Gu family to lunch today.

After buying the groceries, she washed the clothes for the three of them, hung them out to dry, and then started preparing lunch.

After Chen Jianjun returned, he went to the kitchen to help her.

The Gu family arrived before 11 o'clock.

"My darling!" Gu Tingyun's voice came from outside.

"Grandpa Gu, Aunt Wu!" Helian Jiao ran out of the house happily and called out in her tender voice.

Chen Jianjun and his wife also came out of the kitchen. "Welcome, please come in. The food isn't ready yet."

"I just wanted to come over as soon as possible to help with the cooking."

Aunt Wu said warmly, "Sweetie, what do you want to eat for lunch? Aunt Wu will make it for you!"

She was worried that Lu Xiaofen wouldn't be able to manage on her own, so she offered to help with the cooking.

"Eat meat!" the little princess said crisply.

"Okay! Where's the kitchen?" Aunt Wu replied with a smile.

Lu Xiaofen smiled and said, "All guests are welcome. It's not right to make guests do things. Please come in and have a seat."

"It's alright, I'm used to doing things this way, and my little one likes my cooking too," Aunt Wu said cheerfully.

Lu Xiaofen didn't stand on ceremony any longer and led her towards the kitchen: "The kitchen is this way."

Grandpa Gu led Gu Tingyun and Gu Siyu into the courtyard, looked around, and thought to himself that this residence was quite elegant!

There is also a stone table and benches in the courtyard. The tabletop is engraved with a chessboard. Although it has been weathered, the moves and patterns are still clearly visible.
