Chapter 215 Donation
Jinran lived a life of plenty, without the whims of a female protagonist who transmigrated into a book and wreaked havoc. She simply enjoyed her own quiet life, reading books in her spare time, and her child was very well taken care of, rarely crying or fussing.
Grandma Gu said that the child was really good-looking and didn't tire the adults out at all.
Gu Siyan is very busy with work right now, and Jinran can't manage on her own. They have been living at the Gu family home, thinking that they will move back when the child is older or starts school.
Grandma Gu and Mrs. Gu welcomed this, as they were now free of worries. The children of Gu's eldest and second eldest sons were all grown up and had been taken back to kindergarten, so Gu's eldest and second eldest daughters-in-law could take care of them themselves and no longer needed to leave them at the Gu family home.
So, Gu's mother and grandmother have some free time now. They only occasionally teach classes, so they have plenty of free time. That's why they were so happy to hear that Jinran wasn't planning to move out for the time being.
"Good fortune and happiness are right here. Look what Grandma is holding!"
"Look at Great-Grandma, look what this is!"
Jinran sat on the sofa watching the two elderly women play with the child. The sound of them munching on an apple caught the attention of the siblings. The child could crawl now, and quite quickly at that.
They quickly scrambled up to Jinran, stared at the apple in her hand, and made strange noises, probably meaning they wanted to eat it.
Jinran waved the apple in her hand nonchalantly, then took a big bite and mumbled, "You want it? Too bad you can't finish it. Aren't you angry?"
Then both children started crying.
Jinran was then scolded.
Jinran felt that these two kids were a bit too much of a handful.
After Gu Siyan returned, Jinran complained, "I think I've encountered the legendary mother-in-law/daughter-in-law problem."
Without looking up, Gu Siyan asked, "Did you make your daughter or son cry? And then your mother scolded you?"
Jinran
"If you see through something but don't say it, you can still be good friends."
Gu Siyan felt that this scene was always repeating itself. He skillfully hugged Jinran and coaxed his darling, "It's okay, I love you the most. If Mom scolds you again, just come back and scold me. It's all my fault, okay?"
Jinran nodded in satisfaction.
I don’t know if it’s because of the “pregnancy brain” phenomenon, but Jinran forgets everything as soon as she lets go of it. She doesn’t take anything to heart, but she still makes the child cry the next day, gets scolded, and then gets coaxed.
Anyway, Gu Siyan enjoyed it, so let's just consider it a little fun for the young couple.
Jinran sat on Gu Siyan's lap, fidgeting restlessly, but Gu Siyan held her down and warned her to behave.
Jinran then realized she was playing with fire, which was quite exciting.
Then she got punished.
the next day
When Jinran woke up, Gu Siyan had already left.
What did she want to say to Gu Siyan yesterday? I forgot.
Well then, I ate the breakfast Aunt Liu prepared and started another round of getting scolded.
Professor Gu would occasionally have Jinran read books when he was home, saying that learning was endless. But Jinran just wanted to be a useless person right now; she would get sleepy as soon as she read, except for novels.
Professor Gu looked at Jinran with disappointment and frustration.
Jinran cautiously advised, "Why don't you take a look at Jixiang Ruyi? Learning should start from childhood."
Professor Gu
Professor Gu eventually gave up on her, and Jinran went completely off on her own.
That day, since she had nothing else to do, she tidied up her antique collection and, without thinking, mixed up several antiques from her spatial storage and took them out.
Then Professor Gu saw it.
Professor Gu asked in amazement, "Nini, when did you get this? This is a good thing! What are these...?"
The gist of the introduction was that these bronze artifacts wouldn't fetch a high price, but they were of great historical significance.
Jinran shook her head and said she didn't remember.
Professor Gu looked at Jinran with eager eyes and tentatively asked, "Would you sell this?"
Jinran shrugged indifferently. This thing was useless to her anyway, so she might as well sell it.
Then she saw Professor Gu's eager expression.
She tentatively suggested, "How about we donate it?"
Professor Gu's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed, "Really? You're going to donate?"
Jinran nodded weakly.
Then Professor Gu turned around and started making phone calls.
Soon, a group of elderly people arrived. They shook hands with Jinran one by one, praising her: "As expected of a history student, your ideological awareness is truly high. Let's confirm again, Comrade Shen Jinran, are you sure you want to donate?"
Jinran nodded blankly.
Then her antiques were carefully packed up and taken away, along with Professor Gu.
Grandma Gu then came out and asked, "What's wrong? I was asleep and didn't hear anything. Nini, is someone here?"
"They came and went without a trace."
