Those secretly following behind couldn't help but breathe more rapidly. They had finally come to this topic; otherwise, they would have been tempted to make a move.
He winked at Qin Qinghuai and then continued his performance simply.
"What do you mean? Are you starting to look down on me for not having a dowry? I knew it, waaaaaah!"
Qin Qinghuai was dumbfounded. What did you know? How are we supposed to continue this drama?
"I knew it! You only married me because of my status. You also thought I had the things my grandfather left me. You scumbag! You were definitely after my family's things too! Waaaaah! I'm so pitiful!"
Qin Qinghuai glanced around, his lips twitching as he approached, his lips moving slightly.
"Wife, that's too much, that's too much,"
Then he raised his voice.
"What are you saying? You're insulting me. I've seen the world, how could I be so materialistic?"
Even if you don't believe me, you should trust your own judgment and believe in our feelings—that it's a pure and noble revolutionary friendship. If that's what you think, then I'm really heartbroken.
I knew you were homesick, so I specially came back with you to visit your grandparents. Isn't that thoughtful enough? Haven't I taken good care of you along the way? You, you, you, no wonder my mom said you're a rich girl raised by capitalists. Your awareness is really lacking. You always talk about material things. I'm starting to wonder if you've been corrupted.
"Daughter-in-law, to put it simply, this is your dowry left by your grandfather, a safety net for you. But, but, if you're not careful, it could become a sugar-coated bullet, subtly corrupting you over the years. Are you prepared to withstand the test?"
The quotes are all one sentence or two, but they should be enough to deal with the people who come after.
Speechless
"I feel like if you keep going, you're going to start manipulating me,"
Qin Qinghuai didn't understand.
"What A?"
"I said, 'Then what do you suggest we do? I really haven't been corroded!'"
My maternal grandfather, my maternal grandfather left something for me,”
Instantly transform into a love-struck individual.
"But, but,"
"But what is it? Tell me! I need to think of a way to save you."
It was as if Jian Dan had made up her mind.
"Then come closer, I'll tell you,"
Those behind couldn't hear anything and unconsciously leaned forward, straining their ears to listen.
"Really? That's all? Nothing else?"
Simple had a long face.
“There really aren’t any left. These are all the ones he told the government to keep specifically for me as part of my dowry, just in case. They were all changed to my name back then.”
The man seemed unconvinced, and raised his voice again.
"I don't believe it!"
The little one in his arms suddenly turned its head, its bright eyes looking at its father, and Qin Qinghuai almost lost his composure.
"I don't believe it. How could they have left you such a small thing?"
Don't lie to me. Although I've rarely come back these past few years, I've heard about the Su family's affairs. With Grandpa being so cunning and shrewd, he's bound to be a master strategist."
Despite being met with a murderous glare, he continued to spout nonsense.
“The Su family has encountered many things over the years, but they have all come through them and made a comeback several times. How can I believe that they have left no family fortune at all?”
It's so simple, it's incredibly frustrating.
"But I really don't know. If he left something for me, wouldn't he tell me? Who was it for?"
"If you don't tell me, there's nothing I can do to save you. If it gets found out, I'll definitely be..."
"No, we're married now, you can't be so heartless,"
"Am I being heartless, or are you even hiding things from me? If you don't tell me, how can I help you find a solution?"
He kept rambling on and on, muttering to himself as they neared the bottom of the mountain.
"Then I'll take you there and see if you can recall any clues."
"Hmph, you'd better remember everything, otherwise, I won't be able to protect you in the future. You know, you're all alone. As for the relatives you reconnected with later, hehe, do you think they can do anything for you?"
Would you risk your entire family's future for me?
My parents are both retired, and they've always disapproved of such things. Given their personalities, they would never stoop to begging or breaking the law for something like this.
Simply bow your head and be humble.
"I know, I know, I will think about it carefully and try my best."
After going around in circles, we visited two small courtyards in Dongcheng District, performed for a while, and in the end, what outsiders saw was that we simply humbled ourselves for a short while and coaxed people to go home.
As soon as they got home, Qin Qinghuai's attitude changed completely. He hugged his wife and showered her with kisses and coaxing.
"That was all a lie, none of what I said was true, so you can't really get angry."
Simple,
"Am I really that naive? But what do you think they'll do next? They're not really going to dig up those two courtyards, are they?"
Qin Qinghuai nodded in affirmation.
"Yes, they might have already dug it up. Didn't you notice that the yard doesn't look like anyone lives there? Those tenants might have been kicked out a long time ago."
"Then they must have already discovered the empty basement,"
He simply stroked his chin and grinned mischievously.
"What do you think their expression would be if they saw a basement of over 100 square meters completely empty? Would they go crazy? Would they be so angry they wanted to kill someone?"
"You really don't shy away from trouble. But speaking of which, did you take everything inside?"
"hold head high!"
Simple and a little smug.
"Well, you've seen it. It's not like we don't have the ability to leave even a single hair behind. I'd admit defeat."
Qin Qinghuai's eyes were full of smiles.
"You anticipated this would happen?"
Although it's a question, the tone is affirmative.
"I have to say it, honey, I really admire you. How are you so smart? You think three steps ahead for every one step you take, that's you, isn't it?"
Simple, slightly pleased with the praise, smiled with narrowed eyes, shaking her head and swaying her body.
"No, that's not it. I didn't think that much about it. But as people say, you only feel at ease when you have your own things in your own hands. With so many things and I've gone so far, I don't know when I'll be able to come back. What if someone finds out?"
Even though I'm not short of money, what's mine can only be mine. If someone snatches it away halfway, I'll be heartbroken.
"hehe!"
Qin Qinghuai was absolutely smitten by his wife's cute expression when she said she loved money.
"Yes, honey, you're absolutely right."
"That's right."
Simple and delightful, playing blindfolded hide-and-seek with the little one.
"Are we going out again tomorrow? Who knows how much of what we said today will be believed by those people?"
Qin Qinghuai's eyes turned cold.
"Whether they believe it or not is not up to them. Wherever our play goes, they have to believe it."
Simple things bring a good mood.
"That's great! I have a feeling that my chance to make a move is coming soon."
