You need to raise your pet using a system [Era]

Chapter 319 Things Are Done

Lu Yuanbo didn't understand, but Lu Mingxi, who was no longer the same as before, quickly understood her husband's words.

"Fourth Uncle, it's because this batch of goods passed through several people before reaching us. Money can be tempting, and if the people who handled it know we have something, it might cause trouble!" Lu Mingxi explained.

Gu Yushan also said, "Just like Third Brother said, if you bought them on the black market or at a scrap metal recycling station, you didn't leave any clues, and no one would know you, so there wouldn't be any subsequent trouble."

However, when everyone involved knows the information, it's easy for someone to come knocking on your door.

Never underestimate others.

You never know how far some people will go for money.

Lu Yuanbo nodded knowingly, his expression shifting from doubt to seriousness.

“If those people don’t care, that’s fine, but what if, just what if, there are one or two people with bad intentions, whether they’re extorting money or reporting to the relevant authorities, it won’t end well,” Lu Yuanqing said, gesturing with his chin.

As ordinary people, the Lu family naturally didn't want to associate with such people. Even if they were blackmailed, it would be a troublesome matter.

Wei Ye and Lu Mingxi are both public officials. Their actions of privately transferring confiscated cultural relics at low prices will definitely affect their future careers.

Wei Ye and Lu Mingxi exchanged a glance, both recognizing the seriousness of the matter in each other's eyes. They immediately nodded to Lu Yuanqing to indicate that they understood the gravity of the situation.

Lu Yuanqing smiled and said, "Hey, don't be nervous. It's okay for now. Besides, in a few years, we'll quietly donate it to the country. Even if those people still suspect that we're hoarding something, they won't do anything. After all, suspicion is just suspicion, but we've donated quite a lot!"

After Lu Yuanqing finished speaking, he looked around at the antiques that filled the room.

The others followed his gaze.

If when these antiques were first brought back and set up, everyone was excited upon seeing them, their excitement has now subsided somewhat.

“That’s right! Third Brother is right. You don’t need to be nervous. Besides, we can’t let all our hard work go to waste. When the time comes, we can each choose what we like, but it won’t meet the requirements of the country. Anyway, no one will know.” Gu Yushan said with a smile.

His words broke the silence.

Although the others still felt somewhat cheated, having paid for it themselves but having to donate it for nothing, they still felt a little resentful.

However, they are all adults, not ignorant children, and they understand the seriousness of the matter.

“Yes! These antiques are cultural heritage left by our ancestors and are very worthy of collection. But no matter what, they are all material possessions and cannot compare to your past.” Lu Yuanhuan said gently.

Lu Mingxi's last trace of dissatisfaction dissipated.

Lu Yuanqing: "..."

Ok!

He is a truly ordinary person.

He didn't think much about it; he simply knew that these things would be very valuable in later generations. He didn't really have any passion for books, calligraphy, paintings, or other antiques.

His only thought was to increase the value of the property.

He wasn't without a way to properly hide all the antiques, but he also knew that this habit of his had greatly influenced Lu Mingxi over the past few years.

Wei Ye has connections, so he and his wife must have hidden a lot of things too.

These things are very valuable; you can become rich overnight.

However, compared to their future prospects, Lu Yuanqing was willing to give up this fortune.

"As for books and rare copies, let's take some time to transcribe them all!"

This is practically equivalent to owning it?!

……

After finishing his business in the city, Lu Yuanqing planned to return to his village.

"Let's stay a few more days!" Lu Mingxi said with reluctance as soon as he heard Lu Yuanqing say that he was going back to the village.

Lu Yuanqing shook his head: "There are still many things to do in the village. Xiao Dong and the others still have to take the college entrance examination. There's a lot to do!"

Lu Mingxi pursed her lips, displeased.

Lu Yuanqing sighed and gently patted her head, "You're so big now, why are you still so clingy?"

Lu Mingxi snorted, "Even in the face of a big man, I'll always be a child!"

Lu Yuanqing: "..." That's not quite right!

“You also took the college entrance exam, but instead of studying properly, you took leave to come and keep us company. Aren’t you worried that you won’t get into university? Xiao Dong will definitely laugh at you.”

This……

Lu Mingxi's eyes widened, and he said, "He wouldn't dare!"

"Hehe!" Lu Yuanqing chuckled and said, "He really dares to do that! So, you need to study hard. You've been working for many years and haven't studied much. Study hard for the exam. A good degree will make it easier for you to go further and higher!"

Lu Yuanqing understands Lu Mingxi.

Instead of telling her about bringing glory to the family, it's better to let her know that what she wants most is a good education, which would make it easier for her to achieve her goal.

Lu Mingxi paused for a moment, then nodded solemnly, "Third Uncle, I know, don't worry! I will get into my dream university."

Lu Yuanqing smiled and said, "I believe you!"

This is also something he is very proud of.

The kids in the family are all very well-behaved and would never lie to him.

They will always keep their promises to him.

Lu Mingxi smiled at him.

Having already experienced power, Lu Mingxi was still the same obedient girl when facing Lu Yuanqing.

"How are things between you and Ono? Is he good to you?" Lu Yuanqing asked softly.

He always harbored a skeptical attitude towards people. This wasn't a big deal, but the main reason was that Lu Yuanhuan and Lu Mingxi were too far away from him, and he always felt a sense of unease.

For one person to another, it can be a few years, a few decades, or a lifetime.

He didn't know if Gu Yushan and Wei Ye could continue to maintain their relationship, or even for the rest of their lives as he had hoped.

He was worried that Lu Yuanhuan and Lu Mingxi would be bullied without his knowledge, and he was too far away to be able to stop in time!

Lu Mingxi was unaware of his worries, but she had gotten used to Lu Yuanqing saying the same thing every time they met.

She knew that Lu Yuanqing cared about her.

Lu Mingxi was very happy to receive this concern.

"Third Uncle, he's very good to me!"

This is the truth.

Wei Ye truly obeyed him in every way.

"That's good!" Lu Yuanqing said with a smile.

"You and your aunt, you two are in the city, you must help each other. Don't keep anything to yourself. Don't think that family scandals shouldn't be aired in public. Family scandals must be aired in public, otherwise you will always suffer. Don't try to only report good news and not bad news. We will always be your support. If you need anything, be sure to come to us!"

"Yes, yes! Don't worry, Uncle, I remember!" Lu Mingxi nodded earnestly.
