Chapter 88 Possessing a Huge Fortune
Chiu Chiu tugged at the large pocket on her clothes, signaling everyone to stop what they were doing and look at her.
Chiu Chiu's big pocket is always bulging, filled with little handkerchiefs, straw grasshoppers... there's nothing Chiu Chiu can't hold.
Dong Xiao glanced at her, rummaged in her pockets a couple of times, and his expression changed slightly...
The feel, the shape...
Something's not right!
Yun Jinglan frowned slightly: "What's wrong?"
Dong Xiao took out what was in his pocket, and it turned out to be two gold ingots!
"Chirp chirp, how come you have this in your pocket?"
Dong Xiao was also very puzzled: "Madam, this morning when I dressed the young lady, she wasn't dressed yet!"
Su Yunyi didn't have two gold ingots to give to Qiuqiu to play with, so he shrugged and spread his hands: "Don't look at me, I don't have any money."
Looking at Qiuqiu's obedient little face, Yun Jinglan felt a headache coming on when she thought of her third sister-in-law who had come today. "Was Qiuqiu given to you by your third aunt?"
Chiu Chiu shook her head and chuckled foolishly.
My third uncle gave it to me!
Yesterday, she was sunbathing in the garden, and Dongxiao went to get her some warm water. When Su Wenqi came back from outside, he casually slipped a small gold ingot to Qiuqiu.
When Dongxiao returned, the uncle and nephew had already hidden the gold ingots. Since Dongxiao didn't know how to rummage through Qiuqiu's things, no one discovered them.
Yun Jinglan slammed her hand on the table, her face darkening. Dong Xiao hurriedly said, "Madam, it was my fault. I will return the gold ingots to Third Master right away."
Yun Jinglan waved her hand, saying the gold ingots weren't important. The third brother knew his limits; what he gave to Qiuqiu was hers. The most important thing was…
"Su Qiuqiu! Did you not change your clothes today?!"
This morning, Qiuqiu was clutching the coat from yesterday. Dongxiao had previously thought she liked the coat, but now she realized that she liked the gold ingot inside!
Chiu Chiu ignored her mother's angry shouts, [Heh heh, what does Su Chiu Chiu's mistake have to do with me, Su Yu He!]
She is also a very famous person!
Yun Jinglan didn't care whether she was called Su Qiujiu or Su Yuhe, and disdainfully tossed her to Dong Xiao, "Wash yourself clean!"
While Qiuqiu was taking a bath, Yun Jinglan had the maids search all of Qiuqiu's belongings. What they found was astonishing!
Golden peanuts, silver melon seeds, and silver notes folded into small squares. All together, there were over six hundred taels.
This is a huge sum of money!
Chiu Chiu, who had just returned smelling fresh from her bath, yawned, her mouth wide open and unable to close.
My home was raided?
Yun Jinglan hadn't expected that Qiuqiu had amassed such a fortune and was so good at hiding it. However, what surprised her even more was that Qiuqiu only glanced at it before handing all her treasures to her.
[Give it all to the older students who sponsor the academy.]
Yun Jinglan was slightly surprised, then smiled with satisfaction. Although Qiuqiu could be a little greedy at times, she was still very clear-headed when it came to matters of principle.
The youngest daughter is quite special, and Yun Jinglan can only teach her carefully, often feeling apprehensive.
She feels much more at ease now.
Fortunately, Yun Jinglan didn't know what her precious daughter was really thinking, otherwise she would definitely have picked her up and given her a good talking-to right now.
The fact that Gao Wenyan spoke up for her second brother after eating a bowl of noodles with him today reminded her. If she spent money to sponsor all the poor older brothers in the academy, they wouldn't help Qiao Muyang against her second brother in the future.
Sigh, Chiu Chiu has sacrificed so much for this family!
This is all hard-earned money from ChiuChiu's cuteness!
Su Yunyi felt a chill run down his spine when he met his sister's resentful little eyes. He shifted his body to avoid Qiuqiu's gaze, "The academy is short of writing brushes, ink, and inkstones. I'll mention it to the headmaster another day, and the household can purchase a batch in Qiuqiu's name."
Chiu Chiu refused; she's so capable, she doesn't need to win people over!
Using your brother's name will prevent people from spitting on you when they frame you in the future.
Qiuqiu felt that the family would fall apart sooner or later without her, and she was already starting to worry about family matters at such a young age.
Second brother, could you please talk less?
Su Yunyi admitted that he sometimes talks a lot. Does that mean he can't even talk anymore?
"mother?"
"Shut up!"
Yun Jinglan thought about it carefully and felt that Qiuqiu's idea was quite good. Su Yunyi was precocious and had almost no friends of his age. It was clear that he was also happy after his relationship with Gao Wenyan improved.
However, donating writing brushes, inkstones, and inkstones directly in Su Yunyi's name would inevitably hurt some people's self-esteem; using Qiuqiu as an excuse would be better.
Chiu Chiu's predictions are always very accurate, which means that someone will definitely frame Su Yunyi in the future. Although he doesn't know why someone would spit at him, he still tries to avoid that possibility.
So Yun Jinglan made the decision directly: "Send Qiuqiu to the academy tomorrow!"
[Academy?]
I'm not going!
I'm so tired of studying!
Chiu Chiu raised her hand and covered her ears; she couldn't go to school unless she pretended not to hear.
The cat fairy jumped in through the window and landed on the table with a "thump." "Meow?"
Have these humans finally come to their senses and decided to send the illiterate Chiu Chiu to school?
The moment Qiuqiu saw the Great Immortal, she leaned forward and buried her face in her mother's arms.
You can't see me, you can't see me.
Meow Fairy's paws tugged at Qiuqiu a couple of times before Yun Jinglan caught them. Meow Fairy looked up at Yun Jinglan curiously. Did this mortal have something to ask of its great Meow Fairy?
Yun Jinglan: "Let's give Qiuqiu a day off today."
The cat retracted its paw and tilted its head. It had come to reward Qiuqiu today, and since she wasn't willing, so be it!
Qiuqiu made good progress today. Qiao Muyang and Zheng Xiulan lost their initial capital and ruined their reputation among scholars. He will no longer be able to use public opinion to get these scholars to stand by him and destroy Su Yunyi!
The progress bar sped up considerably!
Chirp is super awesome!
Since she doesn't want praise, then let's just leave it at that.
After the fairy Miao left, Qiuqiu finally let out a slow breath. Yun Jinglan found her nervous appearance very amusing.
The little girl, who is fearless, is actually afraid of her cat uncle.
Yun Jinglan's soft laughter reached Qiuqiu's ears. She looked up at her mother, her face turning even more aggrieved. [I was laughed at!]
I tried so hard to save my family, and you all laughed at me!
【My little darling is angry, so I'll punish you by not taking me to the academy tomorrow!】
Yun Jinglan and Su Yunyi exchanged a glance. Judging from Qiuqiu's smug look, she would definitely be a student with difficulty studying in the future!
Learning should start from a young age; I'll take her to experience cultural enrichment tomorrow!
The illiterate Qiuqiu was completely unaware of the tragic fate that awaited her, and was even happy that she wouldn't be receiving special training today.
She's spent all her money, how is she going to earn any now?
Poverty, still poverty, this is a very serious problem.
Yun Jinglan looked down and saw that Qiuqiu's eyes were filled with tears. "What's wrong?"
"Wow wow wow!"
I'm broke again!
Su Yunyi: "???"
Who is the poorest person in this family?!
The weight of gold ingots varied across dynasties in ancient China. From the Tang to the Qing dynasties, it was approximately 37.3 grams. So, readers don't need to worry about the weight of two gold ingots; after all, even a little chick like me can lift a pumpkin! Sweet dreams, and may chicks bring you gold ingots in your dreams!
