Chapter 568 - 569: The Debt Still Isn’t Clear

Chapter 568: Chapter 569: The Debt Still Isn’t Clear

It was not until a week later that Chen Jianjun retrieved the parcel from town on a sled,

When he had unwrapped it, inside were fur hats, woollen boots and military coats, all in threes!!!

At a glance, they were worth quite a bit!

The old couple gasped, "How much did these cost?!"

"Guibao, tell Daddy where you got the money to buy the gifts?" Chen Jianjun couldn’t help but ask.

With the hundred dollars he had given, after deducting the cost for the carriage ride, there shouldn’t have been much left to buy all these things.

With an innocent face, Helian Qiao said, "It was bought with the New Year’s money from Grandpa Gu, Uncle Tingyun’s wife, my little aunt, my big aunt, and my little aunt!"

The group suddenly understood. The money came from the Gu Family’s New Year’s gift.

They all knew the Gu Family was wealthy, that their red envelopes must have been substantial. It wasn’t surprising that they could buy all these.

Thinking that she wouldn’t be able to return such a sum, Ma Xiulian figured she and her family, who were far less well-off, would have to send her older brother another bag of wild mushrooms later.

Then she heard Helian Qiao speak in a childish voice: "We didn’t spend all the money, the rest is in the travel bag, didn’t Grandma see it?"

At her words, Ma Xiulian’s face changed instantly, and she exclaimed, "Not good!"

She then quickly headed towards Chen Jianjun’s room.

She hadn’t noticed the money when she was tidying up, and she had even washed, dried, and put away the travel bag!

She hadn’t laundered the money away, had she?!

She reached for the travel bag under the wardrobe and felt around inside. Eventually, she found the money in a pocket inside the bag.

The others had followed her into the room.

Thankfully, the money, after being wet and air-dried, was only a bit wrinkled.

Ma Xiulian heaved a sigh of relief, straightened out the money, and carefully counted it. It totalled more than 300 yuan!

She was shocked to discover that there was so much left?!

Even Lu Xiaofen was astonished. After all, they had already bought three full sets of clothing, shoes and hats made of fur.

"Guibao, how much money did you spend on the gifts?"

Helian Qiao innocently replied, "Let me think... the clothes were thirty, the boots were fifteen, and the hats were ten, so it all added up to 165 yuan for three sets!"

Lu Xiaofen wasn’t surprised at her memory or arithmetic skills.

Although she had only been teaching Guibao for a week, she already knew how bright she was. It seemed like she could learn anything at once, a genuine prodigy!

The only issue was that her small hands were still soft, so her handwriting lacked force and appeared somewhat slack.

Ma Xiulian and Chen Dazhu were both gasping: They had never worn such expensive clothes!

With thirty yuan, they could buy thirty feet of cotton cloth, which was enough to make four to five outfits for an adult.

Unlike children who grow each day, they made their clothes last for several years.

After counting the rest of the money, Ma Xiulian exclaimed, "With these remaining 235 yuan that makes 500 in total. Each red envelope must have had a hundred yuan, and the rest is the hundred yuan that Jianjun gave, which wasn’t spent!"

Lu Xiaofen was astounded. It was an exaggeration to give a child 100 yuan as a New Year gift!

She was a teacher in the city. Her monthly salary was only around thirty-plus yuan!

It was clear that life was much better for the people in the capital than anywhere else.

Meanwhile, the three adults in the Chen family were numb to the unimaginable wealth of the Gu Family.

"We should invite Qingshan’s family over for dinner more often." Ma Xiulian rolled up the remaining money and muttered.

There was no way they could repay this money!

The Little Princess then waved her little hand and said generously, "Grandma, this money is for you to buy meat!"
