"Your mother loves you very much and always said that daughters should be pampered. Your brothers listened to her and have been obedient to you since you were little. It's a pity..."
When talking about his wife, Su Guosheng felt a little sad!
He walked to the bookcase next to him, took out a small box from the bottom cabinet, and handed it to Wen Guoer.
"This is something your mother left behind. Please keep it!"
Wen Guoer opened it and found that it should contain some sundries used by her mother when she was alive. They all looked very old, and the few silver ornaments that were there had been oxidized and lost their luster.
While I was distracted, under a yellowed notebook, a piece of mutton-fat white jade, shining with a warm luster, came into view.
It was a plain peace amulet, made of fine, white, mature jade. In the lower left corner, a single circular character, "蓝," was engraved in seal script. Why was it a single character, "蓝"? Wen Guo'er was surprised, but since she couldn't verify it, she didn't dwell on it.
Placing it in her palm, the jade pendant felt warm to the touch, even carrying a hint of warmth. Even though she had seen many treasures, she couldn't help but sigh inwardly: What a fine piece of jade!
But I had clearly heard from my eldest brother that my mother was not favored at home, and was even despised! So how could the Wen family be willing to leave such a fine jade to her?
"This piece of jade was your mother's most treasured possession. She's worn it since she was little and never left it. I heard from her that your grandmother and uncle once fought over it, and it was only after your mother threatened to commit suicide that they saved it."
Su Guosheng saw his daughter staring at the jade and explained.
"Does mother have other relatives?" Wen Guoer became more and more confused as she listened. Since it was their own thing, why would grandma and uncle fight for it?
"After your mother passed away, the two elders of the Wen family also passed away one after another. Only the two brothers, Wen Yongliang and Wen Yongan, are left. Wen Yongliang was sentenced to thirty years in prison, and I'm afraid he will spend the rest of his life in prison.
As for Wen Yongan, he's also a loser! Just pretend he doesn't exist!"
Wen Guoer nodded and closed the box. This topic was a bit heavy and she didn't plan to continue.
The old man and her father would arrange what happened next, so she just followed their instructions and carried the suitcase back to her room.
After putting the box into her space, she also went to the herb field to collect some herbs and seeds. Passing by the garden's ornamental lake, she looked at the lotus flowers filling the pond and collected some lotus seeds.
Her Fantasy Ice Powder and Fantasy Heart Powder have already been developed, but there has never been an opportunity for them to be of any use, and no one knows which unlucky person will be the first to try them out.
"Guo'er, can your aunt come in?" Su Guoyu's voice came from outside the door.
Wen Guoer flashed out of the space, opened the door and greeted, "Auntie, come in quickly."
"Auntie, I'm here to give you something good!" Su Guoyu smiled excitedly, pulling out a small bottle from behind her back and placing it in Wen Guoer's hand. "I waited in line for days to get this! You have no idea how popular this thing is! It's said that it can make you fairer and more tender in just one week."
Wen Guoer frowned: "Auntie, do you think I'm not white enough?"
Hearing this, Su Guoyu glanced at her niece's fair face. Hey! She didn't think so much at all. She just thought that such a good thing should be given to her little niece.
"They say anything that works well must be good. It's better than vanishing cream anyway!"
Wen Guoer looked at the whitening cream in her hand and was a little speechless. How could she forget to prepare it for her aunt first? But she didn't intend to hide it from Su Guoyu.
It doesn’t make sense that my nephews and nieces have to make something and then let my aunt queue up outside!
"Auntie, don't buy this whitening cream outside anymore!" Wen Guoer pulled her to sit on the bed, took out three identical bottles from the cabinet, and placed them on the table. "Take this, and I'll give you another one when you're done."
"Hey, you bought it first?" Su Guoyu looked at the three bottles of whitening cream on the table and asked doubtfully, "That doesn't make sense. They said it was a limited sale and only one bottle per person. How did you manage to buy so many?"
"If I say that this thing was developed by your niece, would you believe me, aunt?" Wen Guoer looked at her cunningly.
Su Guoyu just stared at her for two seconds, then clapped his hands on his thighs, looking very proud. "Why wouldn't you believe this? Only my niece has the ability to make something so useful."
Su Guoyu is now extremely convinced of this little niece! Not only can she bring the dead back to life, but she also has a trick that makes people tell the truth. If you don't see it with your own eyes, you won't believe it! This whitening cream is nothing compared to those!
"From what my aunt said, this whitening cream is very popular?" Wen Guoer only heard Su Xing say that the whitening cream was selling well, but she didn't expect that it was so popular that people had to queue up to buy it.
"The girls in our unit now all have a bottle in their hands and are praising it to the heavens! It's incredibly popular.
Take these women, for example. They can't bear to eat pork at 76 cents a pound, but they're vying for whitening cream at 10 yuan a bottle! If they knew this thing was made by my niece, wouldn't they be envious to death?
“It’s actually sold for 10 yuan a bottle!”
This was something Wen Guoer hadn't expected! It made her suddenly want to go to the black market! She had been in this era for so long, and she had never been to the black market once. She always felt like she was missing something!
"Aunt, do you know where the black market in Kyoto is?" Wen Guoer asked with her big, sparkling eyes.
"You girl! Are you thinking of going to the black market?" Su Guoyu looked her up and down and guessed.
"I really want to go and see it, Auntie. How about we go together?"
Seeing his little niece's high spirits and playful look, Su Guoyu didn't want to spoil her fun. He tapped her forehead in a reproachful manner, but still nodded in agreement.
The black market in East City is in a small woods on the outskirts of the city and only opens after nine o'clock in the evening.
After dinner, the aunt and niece disguised themselves in their room. Wen Guoer painted them both with beggar makeup. After they went downstairs, if they hadn't spoken in time, Aunt Sun would have almost cried "stop thief."
Su Guoyu rode his bike with her through many twists and turns, and after about half an hour, they finally arrived at their destination.
This is really an inconspicuous grove. If it weren't for someone leading the way, it would be hard to find.
About fifty meters into the woods, a man in black stopped them and asked, "Buy or sell?"
"Buy it!" Su Guoyu imitated a male voice and stuffed 10 cents into his hand.
The man in black looked at the money in his hand and waved inside, indicating that they could go in.
