Chapter 1037: Did My Grandfather Take the Wrong Bankbook?

~4 min read 744 words

Liu Chuxue cleared out the items in the spatial warehouse, thinking to sell everything she could before her marriage.

After all, in a few years, with the arrival of the Reform and Opening Up, some things would become less and less valuable; it was better to exchange them now while they were still worth something for things that could appreciate in the future and store them in the spatial warehouse. Later, she could store a few Sihe Academies, make investments, and win simply by lying down.

Besides, she had decided long ago that since she loved her best friend's baby so much in her past life, she would raise her own baby with wealth in this life.

Just as she was thinking about these matters, she heard a knock on the door.

She tidied herself up simply, came out of the spatial warehouse, and saw the person standing outside the door: "Dad, is something wrong?"

Hearing Liu Chuxue's tone, Xiao Fu knew she was angry; "Your mother was wrong about today's matter. I have already warned her; at least before you get married, she won't cause any trouble."

Hearing this, Liu Chuxue suddenly laughed: "So you mean, after I get married, she will continue?"

"She is carrying a child in her belly now; she can't be too light or too heavy. Once the child is born, see what excuse she will use then?"

Liu Chuxue shook her head and laughed helplessly: It seemed she had thought too simply after all. She replied casually, "You probably know in your heart yourself. If this fetus is a daughter, she might return to how she was before. If it is a son, then it is hard to say, after all, her backbone will be stiff."

Embarrassment flashed across Xiao Fu's face: "We will talk about the future later. Anyway, by then you will already be married..."

He did not say the rest of the words.

Liu Chuxue nodded and said: "There is one week until my wedding date. Auntie said that since everyone was tainted by the grave-moving matter before, it was not good for the family to come, so I thought of asking Sister Jiang from my unit to come help me, after all, my mother is heavily pregnant now and it is not appropriate."

Grandpa Xiao had naturally mentioned this matter to Xiao Fu. Although he felt sorry for his granddaughter, he could not bear to wait even one more day for his beloved wife to be alone in that place for forty-two years; he just wanted her to enter the Xiao family ancestral grave as soon as possible.

Xiao Fu took a bankbook out of his pants pocket: "This is what your grandfather asked me to give you. She said she owes you a lot and just wanted to express her gratitude."

Liu Chuxue did not expect such an unexpected joy. After all, her grandmother was her grandfather's obsession; she could understand his urgency, so she had never blamed anyone.

Before Liu Chuxue could say anything else, Xiao Fu directly stuffed the book into Liu Chuxue's hand: "Take it. If you don't take it, it will make him uneasy."

When Liu Chuxue opened the bankbook and saw the number on it, she was stunned for a moment: "Dad, did my grandfather take the wrong bankbook?"

Xiao Fu had not opened it after receiving it, thinking it might top out at a thousand or so yuan, but when he saw the five thousand yuan written on it, his eyes widened too: "This, this, this, could it be that your grandpa really took the wrong one?"

After the father and daughter exchanged a glance, Xiao Fu turned and walked out.

Seeing his manner, Liu Chuxue followed him over.

After the two arrived at the public phone booth at the alley entrance, Xiao Fu directly dialed a call. After the other side connected: "Dad, it's me, Changsheng."

A questioning voice came from the other end: "Why are you calling?"

Xiao Fu glanced at the Cheng couple who were busy organizing newspapers, wanted to say something, but felt it was not quite appropriate.

The Cheng couple were quite perceptive; after exchanging a glance, they said: "We will move things to the backyard and come over immediately."

They smiled apologetically at them. As soon as they went out the back door, they anxiously asked: "Dad, did you take the wrong thing for me to pass on to Liu Chuxue?"
