Fu Shen refused, saying, "This was given to him by my grandmother; I cannot accept it."
Grandma was worried about him until the moment she died, so how could I accept the gift?
When Su Yue heard Fu Shen call her "Grandma," she looked at him in surprise. She knew that "Grandma" referred to Huo's mother.
He called out the name so easily, much more decisively than calling Huo Xueshen "uncle" or "dad."
It seems that after hearing about Huo's mother, he felt a deep sense of heartache for this grandmother he had never met.
When Grandma Yang heard Fu Shen call her "good sister Grandma," a relieved smile immediately appeared on her face. "Your grandma didn't know you existed back then, she only thought of Xue Shen. But it doesn't matter who gives the house to you and Xue Shen. If you don't want to live in that house, you can find someone to sell it."
Even though many people are now going to the countryside to become educated youth, there are still many people in the city who lack housing.
After Grandma Yang finished speaking, seeing that Fu Shen still refused to accept it, she looked somewhat helpless.
"I keep the key here. Every time I want to give Huo Yunqi, that bastard, a good scolding, I feel a little restrained. If you take it, I'll start cursing whenever I run into them again, and I'll vent all the pent-up feelings I've had over the past few years."
Grandpa Yang glanced at his wife and also advised, "Take it. Your Grandma Yang is right. She can't sleep at night because she can't scold those two properly."
Grandma Yang glared at the old man reproachfully, then looked at Fu Shen with gentle eyes and explained, "Don't listen to your Grandpa Yang's nonsense. I can't sleep, not because of the key, but because I'm anxious about not being able to fulfill your grandma's wish."
Su Yue gently nudged Fu Shen and softly advised, "Take it."
She understood Grandma Yang; she was actually under a lot of pressure.
Her best friend of many years is gone, and she had only met her before her death. Her best friend's eldest son and daughter-in-law also suspect that Grandma Yang took the house deed.
They all know the truth, so why would others think that way?
Two years later, when the movement ended, the college entrance examination was reinstated, and everything started to move in a positive direction, people began to care about these things.
Grandma Yang's son is a political commissar in the army. If people gossip, they'll say that his mother has been keeping other people's house deeds for several years.
Knowing that someone else has a son, people will constantly speculate whether they want to take over the house.
Even if the rumors aren't true, if this wind blows to Yang Guohua's troops, they'll have no way to explain themselves.
Because Grandma Yang had indeed been holding the key to someone else's safe deposit box for several years.
Not long after Fu Shen arrived in Beicheng, Grandma Yang, upon learning that he was Huo's mother's grandson, immediately returned the key to him. This way, they would have a way to silence any gossip that might arise later.
When Fu Shen heard Su Yue also urging him to accept the key, he gave her a deep look before taking it and handing it to her without hesitation.
"Keep this safe."
Su Yue stared at the key for a moment, then broke into a bright smile: "Okay, I'll take it."
She appeared to put the key in her pocket, but actually secretly put it in the space.
Grandma Yang breathed a long sigh of relief when she saw that Fu Shen had finally accepted the key and handed it to Su Yue.
"Let's find some time sometime to retrieve everything from the safe and take it to Bincheng. That way I'll feel at ease."
Far from Beicheng, Huo Yunqi and Zhang Qiushui never imagined that she had already handed the key to the Huo family.
Let them live in the house for a few more years, what's wrong with that? Ultimately, the ownership won't belong to them anyway.
Su Yue asked in surprise, "Besides the house deed, is there anything else in the safe?"
Grandma Yang smiled mysteriously, "You'll see when you go."
