Chapter 573: Chapter 573

Gu’s father had no choice but to comfort his daughter and son-in-law, "It’s okay if the two elders don’t accept the gift. There will come a day when they reflect on this."

Gu Nuan said nothing and went to join her mother, leaving the rest to her husband. After all, preparing red envelopes for the elders had always been arranged by her husband. She wouldn’t interfere, as it was up to her son-in-law to decide how much he wanted to give. She wouldn’t bind her husband with how he must act.

Loving face, right? People in China love face so much, not knowing how many people it has harmed. Gu Nuan would not engage in such behavior. Google seaʀᴄh 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝·𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖·𝕟𝕖𝕥

Besides, her father must have realized, how could her husband possibly give just one yuan to the elders?

All she could say was that her husband loved to play too much. Those who didn’t understand her husband wouldn’t know. Moreover, everything her husband did, seemingly crazy and senseless, always had its own logic.

Xiao Yebai brought the red envelope that the elders had returned, placing it in front of Gu’s father. "Grandma and Grandpa said to return it to me and Nuannuan as a wedding gift. But after some thought, mainly my own, I hope that besides mom and dad, there are others in the family who wish me and Nuannuan well."

Gu’s father, who had hit it off with his son-in-law from the start, nodded understandingly at these words and said, "Not everyone in my family is like your grandparents and your second uncle. Tell you what, I’ll take it to my sister. I have a younger sister who is very innocent. If you send her this one yuan, I guarantee she won’t spend it but will put it in a frame. Just like a long time ago, when she got married, your mom and I had no money and could only give her a thermos flask. Even when it broke, she wouldn’t throw it away, saying it was from us and absolutely mustn’t be discarded."

Such a person was instantly likable. Xiao Yebai cheerfully let Gu’s father handle the one yuan.

The next day, Gu’s father took the one yuan to his younger sister’s house.

As Gu’s father had said, his younger sister, having been closest to him since childhood and inheriting his character, truly valued relationships over money.

Upon hearing that the meeting gift was from Gu Nuan’s husband, Gu’s younger sister happily accepted it and told Gu’s father, "I need to find something nice to store it in, maybe put it in a picture frame, how about that?"

In the frame, hung for her to happily view and joyfully tell everybody who visited that her niece got married in a grand event.

This Gu’s younger sister, she was really as innocent as Gu’s father had described.

So Gu’s father cleared his throat and felt compelled to explain to his naive sister, "Let me tell you, this one yuan was originally intended for dad and mom, but they scorned it for being just one yuan and wouldn’t accept it."

"Oh—" Aware of her parents’ ways, Gu’s younger sister quickly understood and told Gu’s father, "No worries, if mom and dad don’t want it, I do. Tell Nuannuan to be at ease. I’ll definitely pass this one yuan down through the generations, telling my children that it was their cousin’s wedding gift to their mom."

Gu’s father almost couldn’t hold back his laughter.

"What’s up?" Gu’s younger sister finally noticed something off about Gu’s father.

"Mom and dad don’t understand, how could my son-in-law really have given them just one yuan? Look at this more closely. Is this just an ordinary one yuan?"

Gu’s younger sister, puzzled, placed the one yuan in the light, turned it over, and looked closely. As innocent as she was, she couldn’t see anything unusual and could only ask Gu’s father back, "Isn’t it just RMB?"

"It’s the first generation of RMB. In the auction market now, this note is worth at least several thousand RMB and will definitely continue to appreciate since rarity makes things precious. Moreover—" Gu’s father revealed another secret, "My son-in-law prepared two red envelopes, if the elders had accepted the first, my son-in-law was ready to give ten thousand yuan, also not in the current version, but the first generation, which at auction could fetch at least several hundred thousand in price."
