Reborn as a widow in the 70s

Professor Jin walked into the room behind the door first, and then turned on the light inside with ease.

When the orange light illuminated the entire room, a dozen large mahogany boxes were neatly arranged in the center of the room.

Professor Jin walked to the boxes and began to open them one by one.

When the colorful yellow and white things inside appeared in front of their eyes, Song Xiuxiu and Lu Aiguo were instantly stunned.

Professor Jin, who was standing in front, introduced calmly.

"There are five large boxes of gold bars, ten large boxes of silver ingots, and three boxes of antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and pearls and agates!"

"There are a total of eighteen mahogany boxes, please order some!"

When Professor Jin said this, he looked as casual as if he was selling scrap products.

Lu Aiguo asked in disbelief.

"Professor Jin, do you really plan to do these things..."

Professor Jin said with a calm expression.

"The house sales contract clearly states that I will package and sell all the items in this house to you."

"Why, do you want me to break my promise?"

Song Xiuxiu: "But it is also stated in the contract, except for your personal belongings!"

Hearing this, Professor Jin smiled.

Professor Jin then explained the origin of these things.

After Xu's father passed away, some relatives with ulterior motives began to covet the Xu family's property and bully Xu's mother, who was a woman.

Xu's mother was afraid that she wouldn't be able to keep these things, so she asked Professor Jin to discuss it.

When she learned that there was such a secret basement in the backyard of Jin's family that could be used to hide things, Xu's mother was overjoyed!

In fact, this basement was built when Professor Jin’s grandfather was still alive.

Seeing that the world was becoming more and more chaotic, the old man built this secret basement in the room where his granddaughter died, and spread rumors of being haunted to prevent others from approaching.

He took so much pains to leave a way out for his family.

But who would have thought that not long after Professor Jin’s grandfather passed away, Professor Jin’s father contracted heavy smoking.

Within a few years, all the family property was lost!

Fortunately, Professor Jin's uncle served in the government at that time, so he could support the family's expenses.

Although he was not so destitute that he could not afford to eat, he could not save a penny.

So the basement fell into disuse.

When Xu's mother asked Professor Jin for a solution, Professor Jin told her the secret of her basement.

At that time, Jin's family had all died and fled, leaving her alone as an orphan living here.

Xu's mother thought it was a good idea to move things out, so she found two close friends and took advantage of the night to transport all the gold and silver in the house.

After listening to Professor Jin's story, Song Xiuxiu immediately said: "Professor Jin, these things belong to the Xu family, we can't have them!"

Professor Jin smiled lightly and said, "Not anymore!"

As he spoke, Professor Jin took out a neatly folded piece of paper from his pocket.

"This is the promise Mother Xu made to me back then!"

"If Xu Mucheng fulfills his promise and comes back to marry me, these things will be my betrothal gift."

"But if he can't come back, or if he betrays me, these things are the compensation the Xu family will give me!"

"So now these things belong to me, and they are at my disposal!"

After speaking, Professor Jin showed a sarcastic smile on his face.

That man betrayed her and wanted to take away the money and live a happy life. It was simply a daydream!

Although Professor Jin never valued money, if these things were really given to that Xu Mu Zheng, he probably would not close his eyes until the day he was laid in the urn!

Although he is just thinking about it, Professor Jin is a mortal after all, and I will not be happy until you are happy!

Seeing the stunned expressions of the couple, Professor Jin laughed.

"These things are of no use to me. I even feel sick just thinking about them."

“So you’ve done me a big favor by taking it away!”

Seeing her firm attitude, Song Xiuxiu turned to look at Lu Aiguo. After seeing the other party nodded slightly and gave her an affirmative look, Song Xiuxiu spoke.

"Professor Jin, since you don't like these things, then we will be disrespectful."

"But after all, these things are too valuable. If you need it in the future, just ask us and these things can be returned to you at any time!"

Professor Jin shook his head and said, "I'm not short of money!"

In fact, Professor Jin's biggest daily expense is buying painting supplies, but over the years Song Xiuxiu has taken on all the painting supplies for her and Yaya, so Professor Jin can basically save more than half of his monthly salary.

In addition to the ten-year salary that the government had previously provided her with, she now has a monthly pension, so Professor Jin is not being polite, but she is really not short of money.

Seeing that Professor Jin did not need these extraneous things, Song Xiuxiu continued: "Then if you have anything to do from now on, just give us your orders."

Professor Jin understood what she meant, they would provide for her until the end of her life.

Forget it, just treat these things as a replacement for yourself.

The character of their couple is still trustworthy!

I thought I should go back after talking about this, but I didn’t expect Professor Jin to continue walking to the right wall and start tapping.

Lu Aiguo and Song Xiuxiu couldn't help but be surprised in their hearts, there couldn't be any more babies!

Not long after, Professor Jin pointed to a place as usual and said to Lu Aiguo: "Push here hard!"

With the last experience, Lu Aiguo knew which direction to use force this time.

Soon the invisible door began to spin.

This time, Professor Jin was not asked to pull the light cord. Lu Aiguo went directly in and pulled it open.

The moment the light illuminated, a large wooden house with complex structure appeared in front of the three people.

Song Xiuxiu held her breath and stared at the behemoth in front of her.

The "cabin" is equipped with a corridor, windows, tables and stools, and a large bed. The railings, hanging eaves and horizontal eyebrows beside the bed are all decorated with dragons and phoenixes.

There is a wooden platform under the bed, which stretches two or three feet along the bed, and the four corner posts are inlaid with wooden fences.

Lu Aiguo was also stunned.

After a long while, he slowly said: "Is this the legendary Qiangong Babu Bed?"

Professor Jin confirmed his suspicion: "My mother left this to me!"

"My mother was a young lady from a wealthy family in the south of the Yangtze River. She later married in the capital. My maternal grandfather's family gave my mother all the mahogany furniture in the house."

"Including this Qiangong Babu bed!"

"Later, my father sold all the original mahogany furniture. Only this bed was saved by my mother with all her might."

"My mother wanted to make a dowry for me, but I won't be able to use it in this life."

With that said, Professor Jin turned his attention to Song Xiuxiu and Lu Aiguo, and said solemnly: "I have always regarded Yaya as a relative."

"So I want to add a dowry to her when she gets married."

"I haven't saved anything good in my life, but this is the only one I can get rid of."

After understanding what Professor Jin meant, Song Xiuxiu felt that the dowry was too expensive. When she was about to refuse, Professor Jin overcame her.

"This is what I give to Yaya, not you. You have no right to refuse!"

Then he added: "Don't tell her yet, consider it a surprise when she gets married!"
