Back in the car, Gu Xiaoxi stared at the two-yuan bill thoughtfully. Her third uncle was notoriously stingy—for him to hand over cash meant the secret was substantial.
“Who would be sending my grandfather monthly money orders?” she mused aloud.
Lu Jiansen noted calmly, “I can ask someone at the local post office to look into the sender’s details for you.”
“Thank you,” she replied.
When they returned to her parents’ house, the wedding banquet was in full swing. Neighbors, relatives, and friends filled the courtyard with laughter and congratulations.
During the meal, a postal worker stopped by the gate, calling out, “Is Gu Changgen here? There’s a money order for you!”
Grandfather Gu rushed out like lightning, snatching the form before anyone else could see it. But Gu Xiaoxi caught a glimpse of the details—a money order for two hundred yuan, sent by someone named Xie Zhu.
Two hundred yuan a month?! Who is Xie Zhu?
Gu Xiaoxi realized her grandparents held secrets far deeper than she had ever imagined in her past lives.
