The last time he ordered a bowl of noodles with soybean paste, after meeting, he gave Chu Yu a marriage certificate, entrusting her to prolong Fu Yunche's life, and then they never met again.
This time, Grandpa Fu suddenly placed an order; it's unclear what he wants delivered.
Chu Yu was a little curious, so she didn't delay any longer. She went to the garage, got her electric scooter, and set off for the ghost town.
Upon arriving at the ghost town, it was as bustling as ever.
Joyful sounds came from the square, where countless ghosts were dancing. The market not far away was bustling with activity, with ghosts coming and going.
After passing through the bustling city, we soon arrived at a familiar mansion.
The electric scooter stopped at the door. Chu Yu took a lunchbox from the trunk, walked to the door and knocked. The door opened quickly, and it was the same butler from last time.
The butler smiled politely at her and said, "Miss Chu, you've arrived. The old master has been waiting for you for a long time."
"Oh, then take me to see him."
"Please come with me."
The butler led Chu Yu inside to the inner courtyard garden, where Old Master Fu was sitting in the pavilion waiting for her.
Seeing Chu Yu approach, Grandpa Fu smiled kindly: "Granddaughter-in-law, you've arrived."
"Hello, Grandpa Fu!"
After Chu Yu politely greeted him, she quickly walked over, placed the lunchbox in front of him, and said, "Grandpa Fu, this is the fried noodles with soybean paste I brought for you. It's from the same place as last time."
Although Grandpa Fu didn't order noodles with soybean paste this time, Chu Yu specially went to buy a serving and brought it over.
Grandpa Fu was very happy: "Thank you for your thoughtfulness."
He opened the lunchbox and happily inhaled the aroma of the fried noodles with soybean paste.
After eating and drinking his fill, he looked completely satisfied: "It still tastes the same as before, so delicious."
"If you like it, you can order again next time," Chu Yu said with a smile.
Old Master Fu shook his head: "There won't be a next time. My time is almost up. I'm going to the Bridge of Helplessness to be reincarnated."
A look of surprise flashed across Chu Yu's eyes: "Aren't you leaving? Aren't you going to wait for the old lady?"
She had always thought that the old man stayed here instead of reincarnating so that he could wait for Madam Fu to come down and reincarnate together. She never expected that he would leave ahead of schedule.
Old Master Fu smiled and explained with a distant gaze, "My wife is destined for longevity. If she knew I was waiting for her down there, she would definitely not want me to wait any longer and might do something to harm herself."
The Fu family still needs her, and she still has a beautiful time ahead of her. I can't selfishly burden her. It's better for everyone if I leave naturally. If we are destined to meet again in the next life, I will reincarnate earlier, a little older than her, so I can better protect her from the wind and rain.
Chu Yu was deeply moved. The old man truly cared for the old lady in every way; it was indeed true love.
Old Master Fu looked at Chu Yu, a hint of relief flashing in his eyes: "My wife told me about everything you've done for the Fu family and Yun Che recently by burning incense. You've done a great job, helping the Fu family out of their predicament and giving Yun Che a new lease on life. With you by their side, I can rest assured."
Chu Yu was very happy to receive his approval, and she assured him, "I will take good care of them during the cooperation period."
Grandpa Fu nodded, thinking to himself that she and Fu Yunche were destined for each other. Although they had a limited cooperation period, he believed that they would be together for a long time.
Thinking about the delivery task, Chu Yu asked, "Are you leaving now? Is there something you asked me to give to the old lady and Fu Yunche?"
Grandpa Fu shook his head: "It's not for them. They don't lack anything now. The thing I'm asking you to deliver is for my great-grandson, Fu Zishuo."
Fu Zishuo is the son of Fu Yunche's older brother, and he is five years old this year.
Five years ago, Fu Yunche's older brother returned from overseas with a baby who was just a month old. He claimed that the baby was his child, but he did not reveal who the child's mother was.
After bringing the child back to the Fu family, he hurriedly boarded a boat and went out to sea, saying he was going to find the child's mother. However, a shipwreck occurred on that trip, and he never returned.
His death became an eternal pain for the Fu family, and the child's mother never appeared, nor did the Fu family have any information about her.
The child was raised by the old lady, and the old man named him Fu Zishuo.
Fu Zishuo was different from other children. He rarely cried or made any noise from a young age. He was introverted and didn't like to interact with others. The old lady felt that something was wrong with him and took him to the hospital for a checkup, only to find out that he had autism.
In order to treat his illness, the old lady had no choice but to send him to the best sanatorium in the capital and ask professional medical staff to take care of him.
Later, the old man passed away, and the old lady and Fu Yunche were both ill and preoccupied with their own lives, so they didn't have much time or energy to take care of Fu Zishuo.
Chu Yu knew that the Fu family had such a child, but neither Fu Yunche nor the old lady had mentioned it to her, and she hadn't paid much attention to it.
When Fu Zishuo was mentioned, Old Master Fu looked at him with pity: "That child is very pitiful. He lost his father at a young age, and his mother's identity is unknown and her whereabouts are unknown."
My wife and Yun Che are both in poor health and cannot give him much care. He also has autism, does not like to communicate with others, and is not liked by others.
A couple of days ago, someone told me that Xiao Shuo's fate was unlucky and that he needed to wear a special longevity lock to change it. So I bought one and wanted you to give it to him before I passed away. It's the last thing I, as his grandfather, would do for him.
Grandpa Fu brought over a longevity lock and handed it to Chu Yu.
The longevity lock is made of pure gold and is exquisitely crafted. It is inlaid with a piece of emerald green jade the size of a pigeon egg. The jade is bright and lustrous and has a rich spiritual energy. It is a top-grade item.
However, this technique looks somewhat familiar.
Chu Yu asked, "Grandpa Fu, where did you buy this longevity lock?"
Grandpa Fu confessed, "I bought it from your master, Daoist Changfeng."
Chu Yu's lips twitched. Good heavens, it really is Master's cooking.
She asked, "How much did it cost?"
Grandpa Fu replied, "More than 300 million ghost money, I guess."
Chu Yu looked surprised.
300 million ghost money, converted into human currency, would be worth tens of millions.
The longevity lock is precious because of that piece of spiritual jade. The last time she went to the Bridge of Helplessness to find her senior brother, he said that he had found a piece of spiritual jade when he was on a business trip. He thought it was useless, so when he met their master in the underworld, he gave it to their master.
Unexpectedly, the master turned it into a longevity lock and sold it to Grandpa Fu at a high price.
Tsk tsk, the old man is really cunning; he's really taking advantage of Old Master Fu.
Chu Yu raised an eyebrow and asked, "Wasn't the person who said Xiao Shuo needed to change his fate also my master?"
Grandpa Fu nodded.
Chu Yu clicked her tongue, a bad feeling suddenly welling up in her heart. This familiar routine seemed to be another trap waiting for her.
"Did my master say anything else?"
