Only after the couple emerged from the Dimension Space and returned to their own home did they dare believe everything was real.
They took out all the items prepared for Nan’s parents and let them organize everything themselves.
While sorting through the belongings, they couldn’t help worrying whether such extraordinary fortune would ultimately prove a blessing or a curse for their daughter.
Nan Mo went to the kitchen and filled the rice and flour jars to the brim, then brought out three large buckets of Spirit Spring Water she had prepared earlier.
Seeing Nan Mo about to produce more items, Nan’s Mother quickly stopped her and guided her toward the bedroom.
“We can’t add anything more to the house now. These are troubled times, and though we have plenty of money and ration coupons, we should buy what we need ourselves.”
She glanced toward the doorway before leaning close to Nan Mo’s ear. “Xiao Mo, later I’ll take you somewhere to store some things in your Dimension Space. They’re part of my dowry, and they’ll all be yours eventually.”
Seeing how cautious her mother remained even in their own home, Nan Mo felt a pang of sadness.
Remembering her parents’ fate in the original story, she became even more determined to treat them well.
“Alright.”
Thinking of her brother stationed far away in the military district, Nan Mo said, “Mom, let’s send Gege some supplies. I miss him.”
Nan’s Mother missed her son just as much, but feared sending packages might bring trouble upon Nan Mo.
“It’s fine, Mom. We’ll just mail some food and clothing. Anything unsuitable can wait until he comes back on leave.”
“Very well. We should also inform him about your Down to the Countryside assignment.” At this, she couldn’t help thinking how her son doted on his sister no less than they did. “We can’t write much in the letter, but when he learns you’re being sent Down to the Countryside, he’ll probably be furious. Your father and I will likely face his complaints too.”
Nan Mo hugged her mother affectionately, then retrieved suitable inner and outer garments for both parents from her Dimension Space before returning to her room.
When night had fully fallen, the couple brought Nan Mo to the exterior of a courtyard house. This property was also part of the dowry the Luo family had given Luo Ci.
No one knew this was Luo family property, and Luo Ci had never visited it publicly.
Opening the courtyard gate, they located an inconspicuous tree in the corner by moonlight.
Nan Mo took a shovel from her Dimension Space and handed it to Nan’s Father. After digging for about fifteen minutes, he struck a wooden door panel.
Nan’s Father opened the panel and gestured for Nan Mo to proceed downward.
Nan Mo turned on her flashlight and descended five or six steps along a staircase, revealing a nearly hundred-square-meter basement filled to the ceiling with wooden crates.
Without time to open each one for inspection, she waved her hand and transferred the entire basement’s contents into her Dimension Space.
Seeing Nan Mo return so quickly, Nan’s Mother asked in surprise, “Did you store everything?”
“Yes, let’s go home to examine it all.”
After returning home and locking the door, the three immediately entered the Dimension Space. Seeing the living area piled high with crates of various sizes, Nan’s Mother began opening them for careful inspection.
Jewelry, gold bars, gold ingots, antiques, calligraphy, paintings, jadeite rough stones—everything imaginable was there…
Nan’s Mother pointed to three specific crates and told Nan Mo, “Xiao Mo, store all except these three in your storage room.”
With a thought from Nan Mo, the crates vanished.
Nan’s Mother opened one of the remaining boxes, revealing a complete set of emerald jadeite hair ornaments, a pair of bracelets, a beaded necklace, and two plain pendants—all apparently carved from the same raw stone.
Beside them lay rolled stacks of Big Black Ten banknotes, totaling what appeared to be over ten thousand yuan.
“Your maternal grandparents left these for your brother before they departed. I’ll give them to him when he marries.”
She then opened another chest, revealing a complete set of pink diamond jewelry—a crown, necklace, earrings, bracelet, ring…
Even Nan Mo, who considered herself fairly worldly, was left speechless at the sight.
Beside the jewelry, just like in her brother’s chest, were rolls of large black stones, seemingly of the same value.
“These are from your maternal grandparents.”
After saying this, she opened the final chest, which was filled to the brim with cash… How much was this?
Before Nan Mo could voice her question, Nan’s Mother provided the answer, “There’s 200,000 here.
I’m showing you all this to make it clear: the items in your Dimension space are for our personal use. You must not engage in speculative trading.
Our family is not short of money, and we don’t want you taking any risks.”
Nan Mo looked at her parents, momentarily at a loss for words. Was it really that obvious? Yet she couldn’t give them any guarantees.
She wasn’t cut out for entrepreneurship—the only way she knew to grow money was by buying property, and 200,000 was far from enough to purchase hundreds of apartments.
She was determined to turn the billions her parents had given her into hundreds of billions. So she only promised that she would absolutely avoid anything dangerous.
With Luo Ci’s dowry matter resolved, the whole family breathed a sigh of relief. As long as those items remained hidden, they would worry—both about losing them and about the potential harm they could bring.
Early the next morning, Nan’s Father took Nan Mo to the Educated Youth Office.
When they learned that the Factory Director of Steel Factory Number One had brought his daughter to voluntarily register for the Down to the Countryside movement, everyone found it astonishing.
By now, everyone knew how harsh life in the countryside could be, and it was widely known how dearly the Nan Family cherished their daughter.
Before the father and daughter had even left the Educated Youth Office, this shocking news had already spread far and wide.
Some praised the Factory Director, saying that as a leader, his political awareness was truly high.
Others criticized him as heartless, willing to sacrifice his daughter for the sake of his own career.
Wu Mingkang only learned about Nan Mo’s impending departure three days later. During those three days, he hadn’t been idle—he had met several young women for potential matches.
Only one of them agreed to consider a relationship with him. Wu Mingkang had been hesitant at first; after all, with someone like Nan Mo setting such a high standard, everyone else seemed lacking in comparison.
But upon hearing that Nan Mo was going to the countryside, he hesitated no longer and immediately committed to the other woman.
He would never go to the countryside for an uncertain prospect.
Thus, the quota for going to the countryside naturally fell to Wu Mingyue.
Meanwhile, Nan Mo and Nan’s Mother were busy selecting items from the Dimension space to openly take to the countryside,
while over at the Wu residence, chaos had erupted.
The location Nan’s Father had chosen for Nan Mo was Xiangyang Brigade in Hongqi Town, Yang City, Liao Province, in the Northeast.
In the Northeast, there was only spring planting and autumn harvesting, unlike the South where three crop seasons were required. During winter, heavy snow blocked the roads, and farmers didn’t have to work—they simply stayed indoors to wait out the cold.
Xiangyang Brigade was renowned locally as an advanced brigade—prosperous, with an upright brigade leader and hardworking members. It had even been featured in the newspapers.
With only three days left before departure, they would need to send packages tomorrow. That way, she could travel with just a suitcase, and the packages would arrive when she did. Returning to the village with the packages would also make it easier to retrieve items as needed.
