Chapter 1265: Chapter 1265: Unexpected Fortune

After finishing their meal, they heard some chaotic noises coming from outside. It turned out that the moving truck called by the Cheng Family had arrived, and they were busy moving things out, with the people from the main branch of Cheng Family having gloomy expressions all the while.

After the Cheng family members left, the person in charge of the handover came over and gave Lu Yichen a spare key before leaving.

Luo Qiao had visited the Cheng family a few times before, but she had only been to the living room. Now, having the key, she thought about taking a look.

The couple went out the front door and seeing that the alley was empty, knocked on the neighboring courtyard’s gate and entered the yard.

The husband and wife walked around the front yard. This yard was really so much smaller than their own.

Lu Yichen said, "This house isn’t an ancestral property of the Cheng Family either. This small courtyard, along with our two larger courtyards, and the one next to the Sun Family, as well as the current Qiu Family residence behind us, all used to belong to the Tiong Family. This little courtyard used to be Tiong Family’s stable."

Luo Qiao looked at Lu Yichen with a smile: "So that’s to say, we bought almost half of the original Tiong Family’s large courtyard."

Lu Yichen nodded, "The courtyard behind this one, where the Qiu Family lives now, was also the Tiong Family’s, and then there’s the Sun Family’s courtyard."

When they got to the back yard, Luo Qiao stepped on some cluttered items out of curiosity and peeked into the Qiu Family’s yard. When she came down, she might have used too much force and caused the ground to cave in.

If Lu Yichen hadn’t reacted swiftly to catch her, she might have fallen to the ground, but at the same time, they both noticed the hole under Luo Qiao’s feet.

After exchanging glances, Lu Yichen quickly went to the front yard to close the main gate.

When he came back, Luo Qiao had already taken a shovel and hoe out of the space, and the two dug about half a meter deep before they found a porcelain jar. They discovered a large rat hole beside it, which is why the ground had caved in under her foot.

After another half-hour of effort, they dug out the item below, a smaller porcelain jar, inside of which were ten gold bars wrapped in moisture-proof paper.

Lu Yichen looked at his wife, "What do you think we should do with this?"

Luo Qiao was somewhat excited and whispered, "The Cheng family lived in this yard for so many years without ever discovering it, and it was unearthed by my foot. But let’s not keep this windfall.

Let’s just convert it into cash, keep what we need to buy this house, and donate the rest. Isn’t there talk about modernizing the wiring in our area? This will be perfect, a special fund. That’s good; it’s like everyone gets a share." _{free\we,bnovel.c o(m)}

Lu Yichen rubbed his wife’s head, fond of her nature, "Okay, we’ll do as you say."

Now, Luo Qiao found this small courtyard much more to her liking; it was like getting a house for free, which made her extremely happy.

The decision was made in good spirits, and Lu Yichen took full responsibility for handling it.

In the afternoon, Luo Qiao took the children back to the Gu family, bringing with her plenty of homemade glutinous rice balls.

When they returned, the courtyard was bustling with activity. Eldest sister-in-law Wang Xiaoxin was helping Master Gu make lanterns with Lu Ran and Lu Hao in the house.

Seeing Luo Qiao return with the kids, Wang Xiaoxin smiled and said, "You’re back; come and help. Grandpa is making lanterns for them."

Yanyan and Yueyue eagerly ran over: "Great Grandfather, we want to help too."

Master Gu smiled broadly, "Good, good, good, I’ve been waiting for you."

Master Gu was skilled with his hands, making zodiac-themed lanterns for all of them, leaving only the pasting of paper and painting to be done.

Lu Ran and Lu Hao’s lanterns were finished first, and Luo Qiao joined in too, helping to paint on them, as the children let out cheers from time to time.

Gu Qianru and Auntie Tang were preparing dinner in the kitchen, also affected by the occasional cheers coming from the house. Auntie Tang exclaimed, "Listen to how happy everyone is; they’re born into such a good era."

Before long, Lu Yiting arrived with Kong Mingyang.

When Luo Qiao saw her come in, she asked, "It’s just you and your mom?"

Lu Yingting laughed, "Xiangrui also came back; he went to the room to put away things and will be over in a bit."

Wang Xiaoxin looked smilingly at her little nephew Kong Mingyang, "Xiao Mingyang, come over here, Great Granny made you a little lantern; see if you like it or not."

Xiao Mingyang, seeing his cousins and younger brothers over there, happily ran over.

Seeing the lantern Great Granny made for him was the same as his younger brothers’, he happily exclaimed, "Our lanterns are the same!"

Soon, the house was filled with joyous laughter once again.
