Chapter 295 - 284: Miscarriage (Second Update)
Every time Su Yan thought about this, her heart ached terribly. All the regrets turned into motivation that was invested in Xiong Youxin, with the determination to nurture this child into a well-rounded and outstanding lady!
During the winter break, Li Jianqing planned to continue collecting scrap because Su Yan, on this return, brought back the money from the things they sold last time. Four chairs, three blue and white bowls from the late Qing, and four ancient books, a total of twenty-one thousand Hua Country Money.
Su Yan had Xu Xi directly wire the money from Hong Kong, then exchanged it for more than twenty thousand yuan in Foreign Exchange Vouchers.
Twenty-one thousand yuan, Qin Xi took ten thousand yuan, Li Jianqing six thousand, Li Xianglu, and Qin Xi sorting took five thousand.
And Li Jianqing gave all his money to Li Xianglu, asking her to save it and buy a suitable property, preferably one closer to his sister.
Li Xianglu did not refuse but accepted it. Sha Xinyu’s suicide threat to prevent their marriage deeply hurt her - what was wrong with her brother? Just because he wasn’t born into a rich and powerful family?
She harbored a genuinely competitive thought in her heart, determined to make her brother live well and to make Sha Xinyu, the snob, regret her actions.
But if Sha Xinyu were to regret, that would mean Iro was not living well, which troubled Li Xianglu. Iro was actually a good girl; her only fault was having a snobbish mother.
The Chinese New Year of 1981 approached in early February. Li Jianqing nearly went out to collect scrap every day, while Qin Zhen and Lu Anna were excessively affectionate, working sporadically like fishing for three days and drying the nets for two.
Li Jianqing’s gains were not small. While Li Xianglu was helping to sort books in the backyard, she astonishingly found a volume of Incense Ancestor’s notes. The cover was missing, wrapped in an old newspaper, but the inside was well-preserved. Li Xianglu thought about the year 2000 when half a volume of Incense Ancestor’s notes was auctioned for three hundred thousand yuan.
