However, Lin Yanbai suddenly remembered what Wang Shuang had told her last time. It seemed that in this era, one could buy things with a marriage certificate. Since they had already gone out, she pulled Gu Xingfan towards the supply and marketing cooperative.
Wang Shuang was very happy to see her coming. He was too busy with her wedding two days ago and they didn't have time to talk properly.
Wang Shuang looked around cautiously, then took out the things hidden under the counter, including a thermos, towel, washbasin, soap, etc., all bright red.
"These are all great things. Although you don't need a ticket to buy these things with your marriage certificate, they're all in high demand, especially this thermos. I saved it for you as soon as I heard you were getting married!"
Looking at Wang Shuang's arrogant little look, Lin Yanbai couldn't help laughing. What a silly girl!
Suddenly, she had an idea and secretly glanced at Gu Xingfan next to her. Seeing that he didn't notice her, she slowly reached into her bag, leaned against the bag to hide her identity, took out a chocolate from the system and handed it to him.
He whispered, "I'll treat you to some chocolate. I asked someone to buy it from the Friendship Store. I'll give you something new to try!"
Wang Shuang was no stranger to discerning goods. She knew that the Friendship Store only sold foreign goods, and ordinary people couldn't even get in! She happily took it and put it in her pocket with great care.
The friendship between the two girls grew deeper as they interacted with each other. They started talking about family matters, but Gu Xingfan, who was standing next to them, felt very conflicted.
His wife was so rude! He had been the one who took her bag today, so he was sure there was nothing in it! Besides, he had eaten chocolate before, but he had never seen anything like the one she had in her hand!
Well, I can only pretend I don't know! What else can my wife do? One day she will be willing to tell me!
After the two of them put their things back home, Gu Xingfan took her out again on his bicycle.
When I asked him where he was going, he didn't tell me and acted mysterious. I just said you'll know when you get there!
After a while, the bicycle stopped at the gate of a courtyard house. Gu Xingfan handed her the key and asked her to open the door.
Lin Yanbai looked dreamily at the square courtyard before him. Judging from the walls, it must be quite large. The erosion of time had only made it more charming...
She opened the big lock on the door in a daze, and followed Gu Xingfan in in a daze. This... Judging from the situation, has she become a member of the Youyuan family?
As expected, this is a large courtyard with five entrances. Although it is a bit dilapidated, you can still vaguely see its former grandeur.
"This house was left by my mother. It is said that it was the residence of a prince at that time!" Gu Xingfan looked at the house in front of him, full of nostalgia.
"You also know that my grandfather's family is a famous businessman in Yanjing. They have been doing business for generations and have accumulated a lot of wealth. During the Anti-Japanese War, my grandfather secretly donated a lot of money and supplies. These things are now known to the leaders!
So in fact, those people didn't dare to touch the Shen family, but my grandfather was more cautious. Before the movement started, he moved his family overseas! My grandfather only had one son and one daughter. My mother had already joined the army, started a family, and had me. It was impossible for her to go abroad.
Plus, my grandpa believed that my dad and grandpa could protect my mom, so he left without worry! The Shen family was determined not to return to China, and because they felt guilty about my mom, they left almost all their assets in China to her! However, after my grandpa went abroad, I was able to contact him at first, but then the investigation in China became stricter, and we gradually lost contact with him!
Lin Yanbai knew what happened next. His parents unfortunately passed away and left him a huge inheritance. In the original book, he also died inexplicably not long after. In the end, the Shen family's huge wealth was given to Gu Xingyu as a favor!
Lin Yanbai looked at him with heartache. After knowing what kind of person his uncle was, she strongly suspected that Gu Xingfan's death in the original book was not simple!
As if he could see through her thoughts, Gu Xingfan slowly recounted the grudge between him and Gu Changrong: "Money can move people's hearts. When my father was still alive, my uncle was very good to me... Later, when he learned about the huge fortune left by my grandfather's family, he had evil intentions...
I was still a child then, and he said he took me out to play and cruelly abandoned me. It was my grandfather who noticed something was wrong and interrogated me at gunpoint. Only then did he find out where I was and brought me back. My grandfather also kicked him out of the house..."
Lin Yanbai had a look of "as expected." She knew the original plot wasn't simple. She was curious if Gu Xingyu knew about this. It looked like not only was the original heroine's character ruined, but the original hero's was also unstable!
Gu Xingfan pulled her straight into a room. The large carved bed in the center of the room was very eye-catching. It was obvious that it was not a simple bed. It must be an antique!
Seeing his wife staring intently at the large carved bed, Gu Xingfan understood. He leaned close to Lin Yanbai's ear and whispered in his magnetic voice, "If you really like it, I'll find a way to move back for us later!"
Lin Yanbai's ears were red as if they were about to bleed. She loudly retorted, "Who likes it? Your thoughts are too impure! Dirty!"
Gu·Impurity·Dirty·Xingfan: ...Why are you so angry?
Seeing Lin Yanbai looking angry and embarrassed, Gu Xingfan quickly changed the subject and pulled her to the bed.
He knelt on one knee and reached his right hand under the bed to feel for something. After a long time, just when Gu Xingfan's forehead was covered with sweat, Lin Yanbai heard a crisp click coming from under the bed.
The next second, Gu Xingfan took out a wooden box from under the bed. He wiped the box and stuffed it into Lin Yanbai's cross-body bag. He stood up, patted the dirt off, and pulled her out of the yard.
On the way back, Lin Yanbai felt very itchy. Seeing how much Gu Xingfan took it seriously, there must be good stuff in the box!
The two of them carefully locked the yard door and the bedroom door, and then they turned their attention to the wooden box on the bed.
The box was quite unremarkable, the paint almost peeling off, and it gave off a shabby vibe. Gu Xingfan fondled the box with nostalgia for a long time, then pulled out a small key from somewhere. With a gentle twist, the lock opened!
"This box is what my mother left for her future daughter-in-law!" After opening it, Gu Xingfan handed the box to Lin Yanbai without looking at it any more!
Lin Yanbai looked at it intently, and the next second, she just wanted to kneel down and kowtow to her mother-in-law who had gone to heaven in gratitude.
What woman doesn't love jewelry, especially beautiful jewelry? There weren't many things in the box, but each piece was a masterpiece. A jade bracelet, still dazzlingly green even after years of no one wearing it, looked like a priceless gem.
A purple jadeite plaque, without too much carving, is enough to captivate you at first sight. There are also a few gemstones of various colors, and a small hair crown inlaid with gemstones, jadeite, and pearls, but it does not look tacky, but has a graceful and elegant beauty.
