Yun Duoduo opened the box, and it's no exaggeration to say that she was momentarily blinded by the light inside.
A wooden box, about half a meter long, contained a neatly arranged box of gold bars.
The gold bars are about 10 centimeters long and 5 centimeters wide, with a moderate thickness.
Yun Duoduo didn't know how much these gold bars were worth at this time, but in the 21st century, they would easily be worth over a million, or even more.
Forgive me, Yun Duoduo wasn't rich in her past life either; this is truly the first time she's seen so much gold.
Yun Duoduo instinctively returned the box to Ning Yue immediately, saying, "Mom, this gift is too expensive. I can't accept it."
Ning Yue just said she would raise money for her, and now she's given her a box of gold. That's too extravagant. Yun Duoduo is worried that the Ning family will really suspect that they only acknowledged Ning Yue for money.
But Ning Yue looked at Yun Duoduo with amusement and asked, "In your capital city, is it customary for a mother-in-law to give a gift to her daughter-in-law, and for the daughter-in-law to return it?"
"No, that's not what I meant." Yun Duoduo waved her hand, unsure how to explain.
Normally, a mother-in-law wouldn't prepare such a heavy gift for her daughter-in-law.
Yun Duoduo simply said, "This thing is too valuable, you can keep it for yourself, don't give it to us."
“Mom doesn’t lack money.” Ning Yue smiled and glanced at the box on the table. “Mom has been keeping these for many years and never knew what to do with them. Now that I think about it, it’s probably destined that the number of these gold bars is the same as Jun Ting’s age.”
Ning Yue meant that she bought the gold bars when she was bored, and then just left them there. Now they could finally be put to good use.
Even so, Yun Duoduo was still embarrassed to accept it, and struggled a bit more, "Mom, didn't you say you're about to retire? It's always useful for you to save more money."
“Silly child, Mom doesn’t lack money.” Ning Yue said to Yun Duoduo with a smile, “Mom doesn’t just get a salary from the hospital, but also from your uncle’s pharmaceutical company. I help him with research and earn money too…”
Before she could finish speaking, Yun Duoduo understood that the pharmaceutical company's revenue was the main source of income, and their profits were beyond their estimation.
Ultimately, she couldn't guess just how rich the Ning family was.
Ning Yue pointed to the gold bars and said, "Take this gold and have a set of jewelry made for yourself, and make a 'wealth lock' for each of the two babies in your belly."
Seeing that Yun Duoduo still didn't say anything, Ning Yue deliberately said, "If you don't want to accept it, I'll go buy you some jewelry. I've thought about it, but I'm afraid I'll buy something you don't like, so I thought it would be more direct to let you choose it yourself."
There was nothing more to say, and Yun Duoduo had nothing more to say.
To be honest, gold bars are definitely more malleable than gold jewelry.
Yun Duoduo doesn't actually like wearing jewelry or anything like that.
She only had the jade bracelet that her aunt had given her. She rarely bought jewelry, finding it too troublesome and too flashy at this time.
Then, Ning Yue added, "As for Jun Ting, I have two houses in Haicheng. When he's resting, have him go to Haicheng to complete the formalities."
Two houses in Haicheng?
This is a huge investment...
Yun Duoduo didn't know what to say, so she decided to let Yan Junting answer Ning Yue himself.
Ning Yue glanced at Yun Duoduo and said with a smile, "I know you're used to living in Kyoto and you probably won't go to Haicheng to live in the future, but it's okay to go and stay there occasionally. Many customs in Haicheng are different from those in Kyoto, so it's good to experience it."
"Mom..." Yun Duoduo understood. In her eyes, this amount of money was a large sum, but in Ning Yue's eyes, it was a very small amount, perhaps not even worth mentioning.
The world of the wealthy is something that ordinary people don't understand.
Although in other people's eyes, Yun Duoduo and her family are now considered wealthy, they can't compare to the Ning family.
As she spoke, Ning Yue sighed and said, "In this world, your family is the closest person to me. If I don't give these things to you, who else can I give them to?"
Since that's the case, Yun Duoduo didn't argue anymore and accepted it directly, "Okay, Mom, then I'll accept it."
"That's a good girl." Ning Yue instantly brightened up. She smiled and said, "Duoduo, you know, all these years, although I've said I'm doing fine on my own, I still envy other people's children. Now that I've found you, I really want to spend more time with you, but unfortunately..."
Ning Yue shook her head, unsure of what to say next. It wasn't about work; she just didn't know if Yan Junting and the others would welcome her staying in Kyoto.
Yun Duoduo understood, but instead of directly exposing her thoughts, she took the initiative to invite, "Mom, if you don't have anything to do when you go back to Haicheng, you can stay in Kyoto from now on."
“If you stay in Kyoto with us, you’ll have my family, my mother’s family, my mother and mother-in-law’s side, so you won’t feel lonely.”
Perhaps this was the reason Ning Yue wanted, and she immediately smiled and agreed, "Okay, okay, Mom will think about it carefully."
Yun Duoduo was initially worried that she and Ning Yue were not familiar with each other and that it would be awkward for them to be alone together, but she did not feel that way at all.
Ning Yue is actually a very talkative person. She knows a lot of things, and basically, she has her own unique insights on any topic that Yun Duoduo mentions, which has allowed Yun Duoduo to learn a lot from her.
If Ning Yue has any shortcomings, it's that, like Ye Wen Yue, she doesn't have much talent for cooking.
When it was lunchtime, she said that Yun Duoduo could eat there, but she insisted on going to a restaurant outside because she didn't know how to cook.
When she's home alone, she usually either cooks some simple noodle soup or buys food from outside.
Because when she was in Haicheng, she lived in the hospital dormitory, which had a canteen, and she ate all three meals a day there.
Alternatively, he would eat at the homes of Yan Junting's uncles, never entering the kitchen himself.
Yun Duoduo wasn't too keen on eating out, because the food at restaurants was really bad at this time of year, far inferior to what she could cook at home.
Yun Duoduo remembered that Ye Wenyue had told her yesterday that she had bought a refrigerator for Ningyue. Knowing Ye Wenyue's personality, it couldn't be an empty refrigerator; there must be something inside.
She asked Ningyue, "Mom, do we have any vegetables at home?"
Ning Yue nodded immediately and led Yun Duoduo to the kitchen. "Yes, your mom sent me a refrigerator. It has all kinds of food in it, but I don't know how to cook."
Walking into the kitchen, Ning Yue pointed to a small refrigerator in the corner and said with a smile, "I was thinking that if I were to live here long-term, I would have to learn to cook from your mother."
"You learned from my mom?" Yun Duoduo raised an eyebrow at Ning Yue.
Seeing Yun Duoduo's questioning look, Ning Yue couldn't help but laugh.
