After accepting the gifts, and unable to persuade the other party to stay, Fu Shen borrowed a car from the army, drove to the town, and waited for Wu Guoliang and Wang Xiaohua to arrive by boat.
Once they arrived in town, they got into his car and headed straight to the train station.
Su Yue didn't see them off at the train station because it would be inconvenient for her to take Ping An with her.
Besides, Ping An hadn't pooped this morning, and she was worried that the child might suddenly poop on the way there or back, which would be troublesome.
As they were about to leave, Su Yue quietly pulled Wang Xiaohua aside and said earnestly, "Second sister-in-law, when you get back, you and your second brother can look at the gifts in the box together, but you must promise that after you and your second brother have looked at them, you won't think too much about it, just accept them."
Su Yue just wanted to give them a heads-up in advance, worried that Wu Guoliang and Wang Xiaohua would feel unnecessarily burdened after seeing the money inside.
The food that Wu Guoliang often gave Fu Shen when he was a child—this kindness cannot be measured in money.
Wang Xiaohua was initially puzzled as to why Su Yue had pulled her aside to discuss something important. Upon hearing that it was about this matter, she smiled gently and said, "You said it was for your future nephew and niece, so why would your second brother and I think too much about it?"
Su Yue gently patted Wang Xiaohua's hand, "Second sister-in-law, you must remember what you're saying now."
Wang Xiaohua replied with a smile, "I remember, don't worry."
At this time, Wang Xiaohua was completely unaware of the deeper meaning behind Su Yue's words until she and Wu Guoliang returned home and opened the box half a month later.
Wu Guoliang immediately noticed a large banknote peeking out from the corner of the small piece of fabric under the longevity lock and silver bracelet.
He took out all the money from the bottom of the box, his face full of surprise. "How come there's still money? I remember this money was what I prepared for you to give to your sister-in-law. How come she didn't spend a single penny and returned it all?"
The rest were small change, a few cents, a dollar, or two dollars, which added up to a total of twenty dollars.
Wang Xiaohua suddenly realized what was going on and said with annoyance, "We were all fooled by Yueyue. I was wondering why she couldn't open the box to show you. Yueyue was just worried that you would see the money underneath, so she said that on purpose."
"Sigh, it's my fault. When I saw the longevity lock and the silver bracelet, I was so excited that I didn't take a second look. I didn't even notice that there was money inside. I've been staying with Yueyue for so long, and we haven't given her a single penny."
"You don't know, at Yueyue's place, except for breakfast, there is meat for lunch and dinner. How much money does that cost?"
Seeing his wife's face full of self-reproach, Wu Guoliang quickly put down the money, held her hand, and comforted her, "Honey, don't think like that. We can send it back. Your health is the most important thing."
Wang Xiaohua took a deep breath and slowly calmed herself down. Remembering what Su Yue had told her, she looked at Wu Guoliang and said, "Yueyue knew how we would react when we saw what was inside. She told us that we could open it when we got home, and that we should just accept it without overthinking it."
Wu Guoliang frowned in thought: "So, even if we send it back, my sister-in-law won't accept it."
Wang Xiaohua nodded affirmatively: "That's exactly what Yueyue meant."
Wu Guoliang glanced at the money on the table and said firmly, "Wife, I'll call my sister-in-law. She'll return the money. We can't pretend we don't know anything now that we've seen it."
Wang Xiaohua urged, "Then hurry up and go."
They had been back for half a month when she suddenly remembered to let Wu Guoliang see what was inside.
If she didn't remember and only discovered the money inside after giving birth, then she was incredibly careless.
Su Yue had already expected to receive a call from Wu Guoliang, and answered with a smile: "Second Brother, what's up?"
