The next hour was an explanation period.
It involved looking at transaction records, photos taken by Ding Yun, bank deposit records, and even a call to the bank to confirm the amount in the account. They even checked Ding Yun's tax software for tax payment records.
Only then did Jin Cuihua completely believe the matter.
It had to be said that selling those few pieces of jade took Ding Yun less effort than explaining it to her own mother.
"You're really giving all this money to me?"
"Aren't you afraid I'll give it to your brother?"
Having fully accepted the situation, Jin Cuihua quickly became worried again and tentatively asked Ding Yun.
"Yes, yes, it's all for you. As for whether you give it to my brother, that's up to you. Anyway, this is a one-time thing from me. Do whatever you want. If you spend it all on him, and he doesn't take care of you in your old age, or spends it carelessly and becomes incapable of supporting you.
Then don't expect too much from me.
After all, not many daughters can provide ten million for their parents' old age, right? It's justifiable no matter where you go.
My only request is that you and Dad stop urging me to get married and go on blind dates. How many good men are there? True love is like a ghost, only heard of.
Never seen.
Before, you used to say that campus romance was the best, but you saw what happened. I'm too lazy to look anymore. You guys shouldn't interfere anymore. With my current wealth, as long as I don't spend money too extravagantly, or the currency suddenly depreciates a hundred or a thousand times, my old age will definitely not be a problem.
So, stop worrying unnecessarily!"
That's right, Ding Yun gave this money primarily to get her parents to stop bothering her. She didn't want to be nagged about marriage two or three times a day. As long as they were peaceful, that was enough.
"This..."
"Even if you get hurt by a man, there's no need to condemn all men."
"If that doesn't work, you could have a child."
"Yes, having a child would be better. Your mother and I can always look after the child for you without you having to worry about anything. It's just the ten months of pregnancy that are a bit painful."
Ding Yun never expected her parents to be so fixated on having grandchildren. But regardless of their worries, Ding Yun definitely couldn't agree. After all, the original owner of the body wasn't completely gone yet. She planned to return the body to the original owner after completing her mission. If she got married or had children with the original owner's fiancé, how would the original owner react when she recovered and woke up?
Therefore, Ding Yun quickly threatened them:
"Mom, gifts can be revoked.
This is my only request, and it's not an excessive one. You and Dad shouldn't keep testing my limits.
That's all. I'll move out when I have time."
Hearing this, Jin Cuihua immediately fell silent. After all, she had the money in hand, and it was legally obtained. Who would want to give it back? Few people in this world enjoy working. If they weren't short of money, who would want to work? Why make things difficult for themselves?
Thus, Ding Yun's goal was finally achieved.
Then, everyone went about their own business.
Jin Cuihua was busy writing her resignation letter, and Ding Hai was busy transferring the decoration projects he had previously contacted to his friends. He himself planned to finish the current one and then quit. He would then go for runs to exercise and prepare for retirement.
This was in preparation for looking after his grandchildren later.
There was no hope for grandchildren from the elder daughter, so they could only rely on their son, who was currently in his first year of high school.
A few hours later, it was 9:30 PM.
Ding Xiang finally returned home with his schoolbag. The academic load for the first year of high school was relatively light, and evening study ended around 9 PM. Cycling home, 9:30 PM was about right.
Upon returning, Ding Xiang didn't pay much attention to the changes in his parents and sister. He threw down his schoolbag and hurried back to his room to look for old clothes.
"Xiao Xiang, what are you doing?
It's so late, why aren't you washing up and going to bed? What are you looking for in your room? If you mess up your clothes, I'll have to tidy them.
Tell me what you're looking for..."
At first, Jin Cuihua didn't find it strange when her son entered the room and opened the wardrobe, as he would need clothes for bathing. However, when Ding Xiang took out a pile of old clothes, including some cotton-padded ones, she couldn't sit still and walked into her son's bedroom to question him, not understanding what he was up to.
"Oh, Mom, it's nothing bad.
I'm planning to do a good deed. Let me tell you, my deskmate Xiao Xi told me today that when he was passing by Nanwan Avenue, near the West City Market, he saw two pitiful children. In this cold weather, they were only wearing very thin clothes, and they were tattered.
And those two children were rummaging through trash cans.
Looking for rotten vegetable leaves to eat.
They were so pitiful. He plans to bring some old clothes and food to those two children tomorrow, and when I heard that, I also decided to bring something. So, these clothes aren't meant to be thrown away.
Mom, can you make a bit more breakfast tomorrow?"
Ding Xiang had personally seen the photos taken by his deskmate Xiao Xi. The photos clearly showed how thin and pitiful those two children were. He had never understood the phrase "skin and bones" before, thinking it just meant a little thin. It wasn't until he saw those photos today that he realized people could be so thin, almost like the mummies displayed in museums.
Human hearts are made of flesh.
Thinking of this, Ding Xiang's eyes couldn't help but turn red.
Jin Cuihua didn't understand, but she didn't refuse. She only said it was fine and that she would make two extra servings of egg fried rice tomorrow. Ding Yun, however, couldn't help but frown. It was too strange. In just one day, three emaciated, starving people had appeared in the vicinity.
Considering the strange spatial fluctuations when the adult male appeared that morning, Ding Yun suddenly felt that this matter was probably not a coincidence. Perhaps there was a stable interdimensional spatial channel nearby, or even a phenomenon of overlapping worlds.
In order to figure out the situation.
Ding Yun immediately stated that she had nothing else to do and could accompany Ding Xiang tomorrow. If anything was needed, she could buy it directly, or take the two children to the hospital for a check-up and some treatment.
After that, they of course slept normally, and then woke up at a little past five in the morning, before six. After getting ready and eating breakfast, they headed straight to the West City Market to meet Ding Xiang's deskmate Xiao Xi.
When they met and introduced themselves, Xu Xiaoxi immediately said, "Right, Xiao Xiang, Sister Ding.
There's something I need to remind you of. Those two children are extremely afraid of people touching them. They can't even stand people getting close. Some people have tried to ask about their situation.
Or to send them to a rescue station.
But before they could touch them, they ran away. And they are very fast, impossible to catch. Even the police couldn't catch them, and they couldn't use force against the children. So, people usually leave the things they want to give them by the trash can and let them pick them up themselves. Those two children probably haven't arrived yet at this time.
Yesterday, I slept late and almost missed class when I saw them.
So let's hurry up.
Put the things down and leave. If we see those two children appear, then we'll both be late."
"Then you two go and put the things down. Don't be late for class. I'll buy some vegetables here before going back."
Ding Yun clearly wanted to see them. So, she replied, and then separated from her brother, heading directly into the market to buy vegetables. After buying vegetables, it was almost time.
