As night deepened and everyone was fast asleep, a man and a woman were diligently digging up weeds from someone else's grave.
There are six ancestral graves in the Li family. Every time Gu Sinian digs one up, Su Ying jumps around once.
"Be careful. You're carrying two."
"Okay, okay. You're so long-winded. Even more long-winded than my parents."
"You heartless little brat. I'm only doing this for your own good."
After a period of careful care and pampering, the little girl has shed her lifelessness and finally has a smile that belongs to her age.
very nice.
He liked her bright and cheerful personality.
Instead of the listless, indifferent look they had when they first arrived in the countryside.
It was as if everything was irrelevant to her. Even when others belittled her, her face remained expressionless and lifeless, without causing the slightest ripple.
Only he could bring back some of her normal emotions, and the thought of that made her grit her teeth with hatred for the two families in Jiang City.
Without his knowledge, those two families must have done something unforgivable to her.
We still need to let our old comrade-in-arms treat those two families well. What does it matter to him if they die or are maimed? This is the price for bullying his little girl.
Su Ying has already collected money from two graves, although they are all old items...
These things are worthless in this era, but they would be priceless in later generations.
Her carefree life was one step closer... Haha... Imagining the wonderful life ahead, Su Ying smiled broadly.
"What are you laughing at? Hurry up and come over here. What's in this third graveyard?"
Su Ying, who had almost fallen asleep, instantly perked up and ran over with great enthusiasm.
Gu Sinian watched the little girl hopping around, and his heart nearly jumped out of his chest in fright.
Be careful.
"I know my limits. Don't nag like an old woman all day long..."
"I……"
Don't be angry, don't be angry. She's my wife, what else can I do but keep spoiling her?
Although she was a little annoyed, Su Ying still reached out to help him when she came over.
Su Ying carefully walked to the box and examined it closely. "This box is much bigger than the previous two boxes, so the contents should be more valuable."
Gu Sinian didn't think so. Although he didn't understand the value of old objects, the two small boxes he had just dug out were exquisite and unparalleled, and looked quite expensive.
The large box in front of me looks so casual, unlike the one I just saw wrapped in layers of waterproof cloth, as if afraid something might go wrong.
Gu Sinian knew the little girl's personality; she wouldn't hoard things in her space if they weren't valuable.
The large box was simply nailed together with nails and there were no other protective measures. Gu Sinian guessed that the contents inside were not easily damaged.
"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and pry it open!"
"oh oh."
Gu Sinian went next door to get the tools for prying open the box, not forgetting to remind his wife.
"Stay away. Don't get hurt."
"good."
Su Ying obediently took a few steps back, keeping a distance from the box.
The man pried it open with force, and the box clicked open.
As expected of a soldier, he possesses immense strength, which will come in handy in crucial moments.
With a forceful throw, the wooden board bounced quite a distance until it landed with a thud. Su Ying took small, quick steps forward and, upon closer inspection, was blinded by the bright yellow croaker.
"My God! So much money... so much money... Oh my god... I'm rich... I'm rich... Hahahaha..."
Seeing his wife's greedy expression, Gu Sinian smiled indulgently.
It turns out that the young wife prefers gold and white items, rather than those elegant calligraphy, paintings, and antiques.
It's a bit tacky, but it's still quite cute.
He's just an ordinary person, a perfect match for me, a match made in heaven.
Looking at the little girl's profile, Gu Sinian asked leisurely, "Do you like these?"
"Of course I like it! It's a small amount of money. How could I not like it? I love it to death..."
Gu Sinian awkwardly scratched his head. His job meant his salary was fixed every month, nothing more…
I'm a little annoyed that I'll never earn the gold and silver that these young wives like in this lifetime.
"You really like this?"
"I like it..." I glanced up and noticed something was off; the man seemed unhappy.
So much money, why are you so unhappy...?
"What's wrong? Are you in a bad mood?"
"No, it's just that I feel useless. I can't earn the things you like, and I probably never will."
It startled her; she thought something terrible had happened.
"that's all?"
"Otherwise what?"
"I do like this stuff, but it's all because of my family's influence or genetics. I'm just born with a love for money. What does that have to do with you?"
"How can it be nothing? As your husband, I can't even get you your favorite things. Do you know how frustrated I feel?"
Helpless, Su Ying approached Gu Sinian, wrapped her arms around his waist, and rested her head against his chest, making a muffled sound.
"Your work is very meaningful and cannot be measured by money. Besides, didn't you contribute to what happened today?"
"This much money is enough for me to live on for a very long time. What's the point of earning so much money? I can't possibly spend it all. Besides, your salary is already quite high... It's already above average among your peers."
"Can……"
Su Ying covered Gu Sinian's lips with her finger. "There's no need to say anything meaningless. I like you as a person. Besides, I have more money than I can spend. Why are you worrying about money? Is that necessary?"
