After the Republic of China

The hollow gold and jade hairpin sparkles in the sunlight.

Shao Yunshi faced the hairpin and squinted his eyes under the dazzling light.

Mr. Shao held the land deed in the hairpin and urged his granddaughter to look at what was in the other hairpin. She was looking forward to it.

It was rare for Shao Yunshi to see her grandfather like this. After hearing this, her heart skipped a beat and she hurriedly looked at the thing in her hand.

This was incredible, so she hurriedly said: "Grandpa, it's the key to a safe in a foreign bank."

The key to the safe is small and exquisite, and it is difficult to find it unless you open the note.

Mr. Shao knew the key was real as soon as he saw it. He looked at his eldest granddaughter with a headache and asked, "Look what's written on the note?"

Shao Yunshi was worried, and she quickly looked at the note in her hand. It was a simple letter, explaining the purpose of giving the thing to Shao Yunshi, and the reason why she should not postpone it.

Mr. Shao knew that his sister-in-law studied abroad in his early years, and it was not unusual for him to have things abroad. However, he did not expect that after so many years, his sister did not keep it for himself or leave it to his stepson, but gave it to his aunt.

Thinking of this, Mr. Shao's heart skipped a beat. He looked at Shao Yunshi seriously and asked, "Tell me honestly, is your cousin Liping not really good to you?"

In the past, Mr. Shao was okay with Yan Liping, his nephew, but once it came to his sister and eldest granddaughter, the old man felt not so good.

Shao Yunshi knew that her grandfather had misunderstood, and hurriedly waved her hands and said: "No, cousin Liping is still very good to me. During those days in Shanghai, Yan Cuiling and I had the same expenses, and my cousin didn't favor her much."

"Same expense?!" Mr. Shao immediately became a little unhappy, "Can you and that girl be the same? You are the grand-niece of your aunt and grandma, and all the food and drinks are paid for by your own family."

Hearing what grandpa said, Shao Yunshi comforted her helplessly: "Grandpa, please don't be angry. My cousin really didn't treat me badly."

Mr. Shao didn't appreciate it and glared: "I know that girl from the Yan family is not lovable, and she has not been adopted. She is just a guest temporarily staying at your old aunt's house. How can she be treated the same as you? Isn't it a mess? set."

Shao Yunshi couldn't reply to these words. After all, there was still a difference between concubine and concubine, and the host and guest were even more distant. But after all, this is a new school of thought, and not many people value it.

The old man probably thought of this, and sighed again: "I know why your old aunt sent the things back. These are the things of my Shao family. She must not leave them to someone who is not considerate."

Shao Yunshi actually knew that the reason why the old aunt insisted not to go to Shanghai to live with her cousin was because they were not biological mother and son.

Moreover, my cousin is a good person, but he just cares more about his original family. Therefore, in recent years, the stepmother and son have not been particularly close.

Not wanting to bring up these unpleasant topics, Shao Yunshi honestly handed the letter in her hand to her grandfather.

Mr. Shao glanced at it, waved his hand and said, "You can keep it yourself."

Shao Yunshi was anxious, "Grandpa, I can't accept these things."

"These should be your aunt's dowry, and they can also be considered our own things. You can keep them without hindrance." Mr. Shao said nonchalantly.

Shao Yunshi and her old aunt have been living together for many years, and they know more about the Yan family than their grandfather.

She glanced at her grandfather and said, "Grandpa, I have the power of attorney for the safe in my hand."

"Wouldn't it be better? With the power of attorney and the key, those things are yours." Mr. Shao secretly sighed that his sister did everything well, and did not ask how his granddaughter had the power of attorney. Knowing that grandpa was determined to keep the things for himself, Shao Yunshi made it clear: "Grandpa, my aunt has told me a long time ago that those things overseas were purchased by my aunt and grandpa when he was studying abroad in his early years."

Mr. Shao didn't expect his sister-in-law to have such a skill. He was stunned and said with a wry smile: "I still think these things are in China."

Shao Yunshi paused and said: "Although the old aunt said that the things left by the old aunt and grandpa were just some thoughts, and they were hidden from the Yan family, but in the end I am not justified."

Mr. Shao was a person who was bearish on gold and silver. After hearing this, he shook his head and said: "It's okay, just keep it. Don't let your old aunt down."

Shao Yunshi opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.

Mr. Shao waved his hand, "Besides, your aunt and grandpa left a lot of things. Not only did your cousin Liping get a lot, but the Yan family also left a lot. These must have been left by your aunt and grandpa to your old age." It’s my aunt’s own, so just accept it.”

"How do I get the land deed?" Shao Yunshi was a little unsure about whether to take the Huaiyuan since she found out that it belonged to her old aunt.

Mr. Shao said with certainty: "Leaving Huaiyuan to your old aunt is something that your grandmother agrees with. Moreover, if your old aunt turns to you and leaves it to you, no one would dare to say anything. On the contrary, it is better than giving it to your cousin Liping."

This was true. After all, it was the Shao family's real estate. How could it be given to an outsider? But when she was getting married, Shao Yunshi frowned.

Mr. Shao glanced at his granddaughter with a smile and said: "Why are you so confused? Huaiyuan is not our old house, it is just an extension. Now that the family has a small population, it is appropriate to give Huaiyuan to you."

Seeing what the old man said, Shao Yunshi asked: "Did Huaiyuan give me this matter and still hide it from my grandmother in the future?"

Mr. Shao thought about a lot of things at home, and nodded calmly: "Of course, there is no need to tell your grandmother these things. Anyway, she has long known that Huaiyuan is not her home. After so many years, do you think she has gone there? Passing the Sophora Flower Garden?"

It's true, Shao Yunshi used to think that her grandmother hated her, but now that she thinks about it, it's probably because the Huaiyuan belongs to her old aunt.

Speaking of her grandmother, Shao Yunshi asked directly: "Grandpa, my little aunt already knows about my engagement. Wouldn't it be bad to hide it from my grandmother like this?"

The relationship between the old daughter and the eldest granddaughter comforted Mr. Shao a lot.

He nodded and said, "Don't worry, I didn't tell your grandmother about your engagement, I just didn't tell you the details."

"Then grandma knows?"

Seeing his granddaughter frowning, Mr. Shao hurriedly explained: "I only know that I have made a good match for you, but I don't know about the rest."

After Shao Yunshi heard this, she wanted to ask her grandmother if she had any further questions? Or are you unhappy? But thinking about it, from what Bu Er heard, I knew that my grandmother probably just didn't want to care about him anymore.

Alas, that’s fine too.

The granddaughter sighed when she heard it, and the old man felt uncomfortable, secretly blaming his wife for not being able to carry it.

Seeing her grandfather in a bad mood, Shao Yunshi felt a little guilty. After all, all this happened because of her, so she said: "Grandpa, this is fine, don't worry."

If Shao Yunshi was sensible and polite, Mr. Shao couldn't help but blush for his wife.

There were some things that he didn't want to tell his granddaughter, but when he thought about the stupid people in his family and how he couldn't always hide these things, he hesitated.
