Chapter 1107: Astute Third Cousin (6)

With that, Gu Jinlin took the keys and turned to leave.

"Son!" Gu Yundong suddenly stopped him.

Gu Jinlin paused as he turned back. "What’s the matter?"

Gu Yundong gazed at him for a long time and then sighed. But he seemed rather gratified when he said, "Thanks for taking the trouble. Go and see how things are and let me know."

An odd feeling rose in Gu Jinlin’s heart. "All right."

Gu Yundong went to work while Gu Jinlin rode his bicycle to the new house.

As they had said earlier, this house was an especially nice one. The location was good, and it was near the school. At 180 square feet, it was extremely large.

In these times, the housing market was tight, and many large families were crowded into tiny houses just dozens of square feet in size!

It was unusual for their family to get such a large house.

When Gu Jinlin arrived, he used his key to open the door.

He hoped he would not find what he was expecting.

But his hopes were completely dashed when he opened the door.

The house was certainly a good one. The walls were all white and the floor was tiled. With some furniture, they could move in straight away.

The French windows in the living room were very large, but because there were no curtains, the sun shone through directly inside. It would be very cozy to sun yourself here in the winter.

The house had several balconies and the layout was excellent.

But…

The house was completely empty. There was no new furniture, and the floor was covered with dust. It was clear that no one had cleaned it for some time.

When they had first come to see the place, there had only been a thin

Now, it was clear that the floor was even dustier.

They had moved in with Second Uncle when they traveled here from the provincial capital.

Father had started work after two days of rest. When he received the keys to the house, Father had brought them here to see it. They had all been delighted. But now that he thought about it carefully, Mother had seemed rather displeased at that time.

He and his father had been so happy they had overlooked this and her unhappiness went unobserved.

Now that he thought about it, was it possible that… Mother had found this house beneath her after she had seen Second Uncle’s little bungalow?

Father needed to work, and he and Little Five were busy with transferring school and starting lessons. Little Seven and Little Eight had entered their junior year and were swamped with homework. Mother had the most free time in the family, so it was natural that the matter of furnishing the new house had fallen to her.

She had been given money for furniture. They had even told her to buy good furniture so they could furnish their new house properly.

In the years they had lived in the provincial capital, the Gu Family had given them plenty of money. When Gu Qingyao returned to China, she had even given Little Seven and Little Eight 10,000 yuan each!

She had also given him money. She said it was meant to act as capital if he wanted to start his own business. When he became rich, he must give her a large red packet.

She had given her parents red packets and bought them presents.

She had always remembered to give them presents and red packets during the new year or on festive occasions. Since Little Seven and Little Eight were not yet adults, his grandparents had given them some too.

Things were not as hard now, and the things his grandparents had kept could finally be brought out and converted into cash. So they were very generous with their grandchildren.

It was such a nice house that both he and his father wanted to do it up nicely. So they had given their mother a large sum of money, enough to buy plenty of good furniture…

Gu Jinlin was devastated. He remembered that his mother had often gone shopping lately and had brought many things back.. Where were those things?
