Chapter 4: Can't Wait

As the two left, no matter how much Yunyi refused, they still left the leather bag behind, after all, Old Master Chu had gotten into trouble because of their two families.

Yunyi had just seen the guests out when she saw Sun's mother standing at a distance, chatting with someone and occasionally glancing over.

A mocking look flashed in her eyes: Can't wait, huh?

She would help the original owner reclaim every debt owed by the Sun family, just wait and see.

She slammed the door shut, cutting off the prying eyes of the crowd outside.

In a park not far from the Chu family's courtyard, two people were walking deeper into the woods: "Cousin, if we keep hiding this, my mom might skip the matchmaking and directly force me to get married."

"Be patient, just a few more days. Once Yunyi goes to the countryside, I'll have my family propose to your family."

"If Chu Yunyi finds out you lied to her, do you think she'll let us off?"

The man replied confidently, "With Old Master Chu around before, I had to get married to her to get everything from the Chu family."

"But now that the old man is dead, isn't it whatever I say goes?"

Thinking of his plan, he smirked, "Do you know why I arranged for her to go to my hometown in the countryside?"

The woman beside him shook her head slightly, pouting, "Oh, Cousin, stop being so mysterious."

The man kissed her face hard, "Of course, it's to have someone keep an eye on her. If anything happens, they can send me a message right away."

"Now, no one is always protecting her. Whether she can return to the city in the future depends on my mood."

The meaning was clear, and the woman cooed, "You're so bad."

The man teased, "Isn't it all for you, my little enchantress?"

The two embraced, the woman's cooing growing louder, "Oh, be gentle, you're hurting me."

The man's breath was urgent, "Isn't it because you've captured my heart? How could I really hurt you? Cousin is just overwhelmed with emotion."

On the other side, Yunyi was packing at home.

For her, going to the countryside wasn't a problem; it even gave her an excuse to change her personality. After all, the original owner had lived here for four years, and people around her knew her to some extent.

Thinking about leaving in a few days, there was still a lot to do.

She picked up the leather bag left by the Hua and Gu families and headed to the room where Old Master Chu used to live.

Following her memory, she found the hidden compartment Old Master Chu had mentioned, activated the mechanism, and took out the contents.

Old Master Chu had told the original owner about these things before, but with her grandfather around, she never worried about anything and never paid much attention.

Inside were four passbooks and a small box. Her grandfather had often mentioned that these would be her dowry.

The total amount in the passbooks was over 20,000 yuan, a significant sum in those days, and now it all went to her, an outsider.

Opening the leather bags left by the Hua and Gu families, as expected, each family had given 5,000 yuan as compensation.

Then, she found over 100 yuan in the drawer where Old Master Chu kept his pocket money. Altogether, it was about 31,000 yuan.

Looking at the money, Yunyi felt a lot of emotions.

She wasn't the original owner and couldn't get over that mental hurdle, so a thought came to her.

She would consider this money as a loan from the Chu family. Once she used it to earn startup capital, she would donate it in the name of the Chu family.

After making up her mind, she calmed down, put the passbooks aside, and opened the small wooden box.
