She would not tell anyone the truth.
It was as if she had really listened to her mother and hid the good stuff in the blanket before she found out about it.
“Is it really true?!” The one who was ecstatic was Yu Hongyan. She didn’t care if her stomach was big or not and quickly followed him. She had just said that even a pig would know the truth, but was she going to be proven wrong this time?
“Yu Hongyan! Slow down! Slow down!” Xue Erfu was almost scared to death by her. He caught up with his wife in two big steps with his long legs and grabbed her arm, telling her to slow down.
Before Xue Dafu and Xue Yifu could react, Liu Guixia and Li Hehua had finished cooking and were about to enter the main room to take a look. Who knew that before they entered the main room, they would see Xue Sifu, Yu Hongyan, and the others escorting Jiang Yue and Xue Yan into Jiang Yue’s small room?
Liu Guixia and Li Hehua were confused.
“What’s wrong with them? Why are they all going to Jiang Yue’s room?” Liu Guixia asked.
Xue Dafu reacted and quickly greeted, “Let’s go and take a look.”
Sanfu was unsociable, to begin with, so he did not tag along.
All of them swarmed into Jiang Yue’s room.
The room was small and there was only a small aisle. Now, it was cramped. Unless the people in front went out, they would not be able to leave.
Xue Yan’s bookshelf was still in the room. Jiang Yue’s small basin of ice wrapped in a quilt was placed on the second floor of the bookshelf. It was just enough for Jiang Yue to hold it, but she didn’t intend to hold it. Instead, she slowly lifted the quilt that was tightly wrapped around the bookshelf.
She and Xue Yan didn’t open it earlier, and what they said just now was a lie.
This was the first time the small basin of ice was opened after it was wrapped.
However, even though the blanket she used to cover her was considered a good one at home, it was very old and could not keep her as warm as a new one. It had probably melted a little, but she was sure that it would not completely melt. It would definitely be much better than the small basin of ice on the table in the central room.
The ice in the small basin on the table in the central room had almost completely melted, with only a small piece of ice at the bottom.
Sure enough, as soon as she lifted the blanket, she revealed the small basin wrapped inside. There was a high layer of water on top of the basin, and a third of it had probably melted.
“It really works!” Xue Wufu immediately shouted. “The basin on the table in the central room is almost melted, but there’s still ice in this one!”
Liu Guixia put her hands together and faced the sky. “It seems like Jiang Yue’s mother is really watching from the Heavens. Don’t worry, we will definitely take good care of Jiang Yue.”
“We’re going to be rich,” Xue Sifu laughed.
At this moment, Xue Yan guided Jiang Yue, “Sifu, if this old blanket can keep the ice from melting, won’t the effect of the new blanket be even better?”
“Absolutely!” Xue Sifu said with certainty. “It definitely lasts longer! I’ll go to town to buy new blankets tomorrow. I’ll buy more and take this opportunity to earn more money for us!”
Liu Guixia smiled. “Let’s earn back our capital first. You don’t even know how much money you’ve invested.”
Xue Sifu laughed, “How could I not know? Don’t worry, Mother. We even know the method to keep the ice from melting for a long time, so why should we be afraid that we can’t earn back our capital? Just you wait. This year, we’ll buy a shop and open it in town to sell rice noodles!”
