Gu Qingyao did not know what to say.
Old Master Qin sat next to her and said earnestly, “It’s true, what I say is all true. I am certainly not deceiving you. Let me tell you! About the necklace I gave you… I have many others! All about the same as the first.
“There’s more! I have other jewelry and precious things, all as valuable as the necklace. What do you think? Aren’t I something? I am very, very rich. As long as you can make Grandmother Qin better, I will give them all to you. All right?”
Gu Qingyao stared at him and did not say anything.
Old Master Qin was frantic. He used to be so cautious!
Now that he saw a glimmer of hope, he could not maintain his composure any longer. He flung aside all caution.
Old Master Qin looked at his old and shabby little house, and his clothes, that made him look like a beggar. When he said he was a tycoon…
He himself felt a little embarrassed.
“This… Girl! Look, since I could bring out a necklace like that, and I have the entire set, this… at least this proves that I’m pretty great, right?”
“Hee…” Gu Qingyao really could not control herself any longer. This old man was just too adorable.
He was so good to his wife. Otherwise, in her previous life, he would not have gone crazy because of his obsession.
“Grandfather, I am very smart. If you can bring out such good items, of course it proves how great you are! Don’t worry, I will do my best to treat Grandmother Qin.”
As Gu Qingyao spoke, she took a small bottle from her pocket and handed it to Old Master Qin. “There are two pills in there. I was previously unsure of Grandmother Qin’s actual condition, and could only guess at it. This can reduce her pain. Take one now and take another tomorrow morning. I will bring the medicine tomorrow night.”
Old Master held the little bottle with great care. “Sure, sure, sure. I will be waiting for you tomorrow night. You must be sure to come!”
“Don’t worry! I am looking forward to your treasures!”
Old Master Qin: “…”
When she saw Old Master Qin’s expression, Gu Qingyao laughed inwardly. This old man was terrified. Hahahaha!
Why did you boast about your wealth? I’ll give you a fright!
Gu Qingyao left and went around the black market. She managed to obtain quite a number of antiques, then she went shopping at the departmental store.
She bought a piece of cloth to make clothes for Third Brother.
Her third brother was really an endearing cousin.
He was so young, but he spent all his efforts on making money for his family.
He was raising his younger brothers, although this should be his parents’ responsibility.
When Third Brother Gu Jinlin was young, he had a younger brother, Gu Jinxuan. Now he was working abroad and seldom came back. So Third Uncle bore the household expenses alone. That was why Third Brother needed to take care of his younger brothers.
Later on, Little Seven and Little Eight were born. At that time, Third Brother was a youth and was too young to go to work. Third Uncle had four children, all living on Third Uncle’s single salary.
Third Brother was the oldest, so he helped with the housework and took care of his younger brothers. When he went to work, he began to earn money to take care of his family.
When Gu Qingyao thought of it, her heart ached.
But this family was not doing particularly well. Gu Qingyao guessed that if Third Brother found a match now and wanted to get married, the family would not be able to gather much money for his wedding.
The only thing of value that Third Brother owned was probably the imported watch that she had bought for him earlier.
