As Yu Chengyuan came out of his father's room, he saw his wife standing there, her anxious gaze fixed on the direction they had come from.
Before he even got close, he heard his wife's impatient voice.
"Chengyuan, why did Father call you and your elder brother over?"
When Liu Sulan came out of the house, she saw the two brothers following their father-in-law into the house.
This was the first time she had ever seen anything like this. Her father-in-law was always a very kind and gentle person who rarely lost his temper.
So I'm a little worried.
"It's alright, honey, don't worry. Let's go inside and talk."
Yu Chengyuan put his arm around his wife and went back to his room.
"Now you can tell me, right?"
And what was in that box you just took out?
"This box wasn't for Dad, so why did you bring it back?"
Liu Sulan had a head full of questions.
Yu Chengyuan put the box on the table, then opened it to show his wife, "Wife, there are gold bars and a gold longevity lock inside."
Father told us to keep it safe.
Yu Chengyuan explained.
Looking at the gleaming gold bars inside, Liu Sulan was astonished and hurriedly asked, "Chengyuan, where did these gold bars come from?"
Could it be…?
Liu Sulan suddenly remembered what the Yu brothers had mentioned about the inheritance left by Old Lady Wang, including gold bars and such. Could it be...?
Yu Chengyuan nodded and said casually, "Wife, it's just what you think."
"Wow, you're incredibly bold!"
Liu Sulan was startled.
She knew her husband disliked Old Lady Wang, but even if he disliked her, he shouldn't do this...
"Wife, it's not that I'm brave, it's just that this thing originally belonged to our family."
My father wasn't a member of the Yu family. These were the things that Old Master Yu put next to my father when he took him in.
Old Mrs. Wang kept it hidden, afraid to tell anyone or use it, probably hoping to give it to Yu Erbao after he graduated from university so he could settle down in the city.
Knowing his wife was worried, Yu Chengyuan told her the truth.
"That's right, how could the Wang family have so many gold bars? She didn't tell anyone, so how do you know?"
And how did Yu Dabao and the others find out?
Liu Sulan was filled with doubts.
"I saw Grandma Wang sitting on the bed admiring the gold bars by chance. As for Yu Dabao and the others, I guess one of them also discovered them by chance, just like me."
However, I struck first and, together with my older brother, stole it while the old lady was asleep.
Anyway, she's unlikely to give us the first wife.
What's wrong with me taking back my own things?
Yu Chengyuan then briefly recounted how he had tricked his older brother into stealing gold bars with him.
"So that's how it is. When did this happen?"
You have no idea at all?
Hmph, you're still hiding this from me, are you afraid I'll take a share of your gold bars?
"You still don't trust me, are you afraid I'll tell others?"
Liu Sulan pretended to be angry, turned around, and faced away from Yu Chengyuan.
Yu Chengyuan quickly pulled his wife to sit down on the edge of the bed. "Wife, what are you saying? What's mine is yours, and what's yours is still yours."
The reason I didn't tell you was because I was afraid you would be scared and worried. I didn't even tell my parents.
I just didn't expect that Dad would find out in the end, and both my brother and I were punished just now.
I didn't tell my parents because I was afraid they were too honest and kind-hearted to ask me to return these things.
Yu Chengyuan kept rubbing his wife's soft, white hands.
"ah………
Dad punished you and your older brother. What did he punish you for?
Didn't you just say you were fine?
Upon hearing that her husband had been punished, Liu Sulan immediately asked anxiously.
"It wasn't a serious punishment; they just made me kneel for a while and gave me a couple of scoldings."
"Wife, don't worry, Dad's all bark and no bite. He wouldn't really punish us brothers."
Yu Chengyuan said with a smile.
"That's good, that's good!"
What should be done with these things?
You should have left it with your parents, how could you leave it with us?
Will my older brother be unhappy?
Liu Sulan felt that since this thing belonged to her father-in-law, it wasn't appropriate for them to keep it.
"It's alright, my elder brother doesn't want to keep it, and neither do my parents."
However, Dad has already distributed the items.
That golden longevity lock is for my elder brother's future children.
Give me the Qilin jade pendant.
Because both of these are passed down to future generations.
The gold was divided into three parts, one for me, one for my older brother, and one for my older sister.
The eldest brother's share will be given to his wife on the day she marries into the family.
The eldest sister's share will be given to her after she gets married.
Of course, we gave our copy to our wife to keep.
So you don't need to worry about what your older brother is thinking. Father is a fair and just father; he won't favor one over the other.
Yu Chengyuan knew what his wife was thinking; she was afraid that her elder brother was overthinking things.
"Oh, I see. That's good."
Liu Sulan thought that her father-in-law was still a very fair father-in-law.
My mother-in-law is a reasonable person and never makes things difficult for her daughter-in-law.
"Honey, let's not talk about this anymore, let's talk about something else."
Three days from now, we will be able to move into a house in the county town.
I don't plan to have a banquet or anything. I'll just invite my family and friends to have a nice meal and celebrate.
"Do you want to talk to Mom and Dad yourself, or should I go and tell them?"
Yu Chengyuan asked, respecting his wife's opinion.
"I'll go and talk to them. Oh, and we also need to invite Brother Jiang's family, plus our family, and Uncle's family as well."
Let's invite the village chief and his family of three too!
The village chief has always been a great help, and he'll be there for us in the future.
That means there will be quite a few people; at least three tables.
Liu Sulan counted on her fingers.
"It'll be more lively with more people. The courtyard over there is big enough to accommodate three or four tables."
Also, Boss Su should be called; whether he comes or not is his business.
Yu Chengyuan will still hold a housewarming party this time, unlike the previous ones when new houses were built in the village.
"With so many people, isn't cooking a lot of trouble?"
Liu Sulan was worried that she wouldn't be able to handle the workload.
"It's no trouble at all; they all enjoy a lively atmosphere."
They also enjoy experiencing the joy in it.
Eating in a restaurant is convenient, but once you finish your meal and leave, the joyful atmosphere is gone.
"Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll tell my parents tomorrow that I'm in a bad mood because of that woman Xu Yueru today."
Liu Sulan cursed Xu Yueru in her mind once again.
Yu Chengyuan chuckled to himself, not expecting his wife to hold a grudge.
"Honey, Mom doesn't know we bought a house in the county town yet. Go tell her and make her happy."
To stop his wife from continuing to talk about Xu Yueru, Yu Chengyuan changed the subject.
"Okay, I'll go now."
Liu Sulan went out happily.
