Chapter 1327: Sorry, I Didn't Discuss It With You in Advance

Fu Yan Cheng suddenly thought of something, turned around, and took out a biscuit tin from under the cabinet: "Wife, this is my entire savings. I've always wanted to give it to you. From now on, you're the one in charge of our household."

When he bought the house earlier, Fu Yan Cheng had intended to give it, but Chuxue had almost insisted on repaying him for the house, so he temporarily dropped the idea, thinking he would give it after they married; surely she would accept it then.

It just so happened that this item had been kept at the family compound all along, and these past few days, either something came up or he was so clingy that he forgot.

Chuxue did not refuse; after all, where a person's money is, there their heart is.

Fu Yan Cheng thoughtfully opened the biscuit tin; Miss Ruyan saw a small stack of ten-yuan notes, along with smaller bills tied with a rubber band on top. Beneath these were two passbooks and some coins.

Chuxue opened one of the passbooks; it still held over six thousand two hundred.

Fu Yan Cheng explained, "This is the wages I've saved over the years. The other passbook holds the bonuses from these past few years. The topmost deposit was given by Grandma while she was alive. However, Grandma favored sons over daughters, so the grandsons received more, while my younger sister and the others only got a token amount."

Remembering something, he stood up again, walked to the cabinet, rummaged around, and pulled out a flat wooden box from beneath the cabinet board: "This was given to me by Grandma earlier; she said it was for her future granddaughter-in-law."

Glancing at the amount on the other passbook, Chuxue was startled; this passbook had only deposits, never withdrawals. The topmost deposit was exactly two thousand yuan, followed by various amounts of a few hundred. From these deposit figures, one could roughly gauge the difficulty of the missions, and her nose couldn't help but sting. Except for the two thousand given by Grandma Fu, every subsequent deposit was earned by Fu Yan Cheng at the cost of his life.

Fu Yan Cheng noticed the change in Chuxue's expression, reached out, and held her hand: "Don't worry. With you and the child, I still want to accompany you for a long, long time. I cherish my life."

Saying this, he put the passbooks back into the biscuit tin and opened the flat box: "These were also given by Grandma; she said they were for her future granddaughter-in-law. You should take them all as well."

Inside the wooden box were a pair of white jade bracelets, two jade pendants that were clearly a matching couple's set, and a jade hairpin.

There were quite a few grandsons in the Fu family. Chuxue looked up: "Does every grandson have one?"

Fu Yan Cheng coughed lightly: "The money was the same for everyone, but these old heirlooms were given only to me."

Chuxue asked, puzzled, "Why?"

Fu Yan Cheng placed his hand over his mouth and coughed again: "Grandma said there were only these items, and it wasn't worth splitting them up, as unequal shares might cause complaints, so she simply gave them all to me."

Hearing this, Chuxue looked again at the items inside: "So, among the grandsons at that time, you were Grandma's favorite?"

Fu Yan Cheng smiled: "Perhaps because I am the youngest grandson, Grandma naturally favored me a bit more."

Chuxue examined each item one by one. Although there were six pieces in total when separated, the bracelets were clearly of great value, while the others were of average quality. Although there were exactly five grandsons, it would indeed be difficult to divide them.

It seemed Grandma Fu was a wise person.

Fu Yan Cheng pinched Chuxue's nose: "Alright, these items cannot be seen by others for now; just keep them safe."

Chuxue nodded: "Alright, I will definitely keep them well."

Fu Yan Cheng thought of Chuxue's matter: "Has the matter at the Rolling Steel Factory been concluded?"

Chuxue nodded: "For now, it has reached a temporary conclusion."

Thinking of the reward this time: "By the way, after I obtained that job quota, I sent it to my older sister. It is equivalent to her position, valued at one thousand yuan, but for now, it must be treated as a debt. Sorry, I didn't discuss it with you beforehand."
