"Don't overthink it. This was originally a family heirloom that belonged to you and Bingyi. Now that I'm giving it to you, I'm just fulfilling your grandparents' wish."
"And this box contains more than just bracelets. Open it and take a look."
Zhou Bingkun opened the wooden box with some curiosity.
Inside the wooden box, besides a jade bracelet wrapped in a handkerchief, were many banknotes, food coupons, meat coupons, and other similar items.
Zhou Bingkun looked up at Li Suhua: "Mom, what's going on?"
“This is all your dad’s salary. I used to keep all of this to supplement the family income,” Li Suhua said with a smile. “But over the years, you and Juan’er have never let me pay for anything. Apart from buying some things for the children, I basically have no other expenses each month.”
"All the money I've saved over the years is here. It's not much, less than a thousand yuan in total."
“Kun’er, I know you are a very capable person now. In your eyes, a thousand yuan is nothing, but this is all the savings your father and I have. Also, this is the property certificate for the property.”
"Now, I'm giving them all to you."
"Leave it to me?" Zhou Bingkun looked at Li Suhua in disbelief.
Although he had already guessed it, he was still very shocked when Li Suhua actually said it.
After the initial shock, Zhou Bingkun said to Li Suhua, "Mom, I have money. You should keep this money yourself!"

Li Suhua, however, shoved the box into Zhou Bingkun's hands: "Kun'er, Mom has already thought it through. Of our three children, you are the most filial. I guess you'll be the one to take care of us in our old age."
"I don't care about your dad's side, but I definitely trust you. From now on, I'll give you all my things. It's not much, but it's a token of my love."
By doing this, Li Suhua essentially bypassed her eldest son, Zhou Bingyi, and chose her youngest son instead.
At the same time, she gave everything she owned to Zhou Bingkun.
What Zhou Bingkun considered insignificant—money and houses—was Li Suhua's life savings.
Previously, both Zhou Zhigang and Li Suhua preferred Zhou Bingyi and Zhou Rong.
But now, at least Li Suhua is completely on his side.
This made Zhou Bingkun very happy.
Zhou Bingkun wanted to hand the box back to Li Suhua: "Mom, keep this money for yourself. You need to keep some for yourself to buy things, for the kids to buy some snacks, and for giving out red envelopes during holidays!"
"Kun'er, Mom will keep this money for you!" Li Suhua patted Zhou Bingkun's hand. "Keep all the money here. I will also give Juan'er the money your father sends back in the future. Our family will definitely get better and better in the future."
Seeing Li Suhua's firm attitude, Zhou Bingkun sighed softly, "Mom, thank you. Our family will definitely get better and better, and Zheng Juan and I will definitely take good care of you in your old age!"
Zhou Bingkun put away Li Suhua's savings and property certificate, but he had no intention of using the money.
In the following days, Zhou Bingkun continued to go to work at the hospital as usual, while Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei went to various hospitals in Beijing to see specialists.
However, the more experts examined, the worse Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei's mood became.
In recent days, even at home, the two of them have been smiling less.
Even Li Suhua sensed the change in their emotions and privately asked Zhou Bingkun what was going on.
What else could Zhou Bingkun say but to help his brother out, suggesting that the couple might have had a quarrel?
The month-long summer vacation was coming to an end soon. In the last few days, Zhou Bingkun did not go to the hospital again, but stayed at home with his family.
Hao Dongmei is also about to start school, so she has already bought her train ticket and will be leaving Beijing to return to Jichun in a few days.
On the night before they left, Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei specially invited Zhou Bingkun out to a restaurant.
Hao Dongmei said gratefully to Zhou Bingkun, "Bingkun, thank you for your help these past few days."
“Sister-in-law, we’re all family!” Noticing that Hao Dongmei wasn’t in a good mood, Zhou Bingkun comforted her, “Sister-in-law, I think you shouldn’t be so pessimistic. Although those experts couldn’t cure your illness, they didn’t say there was no hope at all. I specially asked someone to get a dietary supplement prescription. You can take it home and try it. Maybe it will work.”
As he spoke, Zhou Bingkun handed a prescription to Hao Dongmei.
This was opened by Zhou Bingkun when he asked Zhang Sanfeng for help in a chat group.
Although it cannot cure Hao Dongmei's infertility, it can at least prevent her health from deteriorating further.
Hao Dongmei did not refuse, and gratefully said after putting away the prescription, "Thank you, Bingkun!"
"Yes, thank you for your hard work these past few days. You're so busy with work, yet you still remember our needs," Zhou Bingyi said gratefully.
“Brother, sister-in-law, you’re being too polite,” Zhou Bingkun said with a smile. “Actually, you shouldn’t be too pessimistic. Things are different now than before. If normal methods of childbirth don’t work, we can think of other methods.”
These words jolted Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei awake, and they eagerly pressed, "Bingkun, what do you mean by that? What do you mean by 'we can think of other methods'?"
"Brother, sister-in-law, I heard that Western countries are researching in vitro fertilization technology and have made great breakthroughs. Maybe it won't be long before test-tube babies are born!" Zhou Bingkun said to Zhou Bingyi and his wife.
Of course, Zhou Bingkun also learned about in vitro fertilization from the group chat.
According to the information provided by Zhang Chulan, the first test-tube baby was born in Johns Hopkins in 1978.
Therefore, once the IVF technology matures, it's not impossible for Zhou Bingyi and his team to have a child through IVF.
Zhou Bingyi looked at Zhou Bingkun excitedly: "Bingkun, can you explain in detail what this in vitro fertilization is all about?"
So Zhou Bingkun told Zhou Bingyi and his wife what he knew about in vitro fertilization.
After listening to Zhou Bingkun's explanation, Hao Dongmei's face became excited, and her eyes were filled with urgency: "Bingkun, is this in vitro fertilization really feasible? If it is successful, will the child born have any defects?"
“It’s hard to say right now, but I believe that in a few years or a decade or so, there shouldn’t be any problem!” Zhou Bingkun said to Zhou Bingyi and his wife.
Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei exchanged a glance, both seeing hope in each other's eyes.
For them, the worst thing is having no hope.
As long as there is hope, they are willing to take a chance.
Zhou Bingkun could see their interest: "If you really want to take this step, you can start preparing in advance, because it requires a lot of money!"
"Bingkun, thank you." Zhou Bingyi grasped Zhou Bingkun's hand tightly, his face full of gratitude.
Zhou Bingkun smiled and said, "Brother, it's my pleasure. If you need anything, just let me know, and I'll do my best to help you!"
If possible, he would certainly like his older brother to have his own child.
The next day, Hao Dongmei returned to Jichun, while Zhou Bingyi also left Zhou Bingkun's house and returned to school.
Zhou Bingkun expressed his gratitude to Zhang Chulan in the chat group.
Zhou Bingkun: "@Zhang Chulan, Chulan, thank you for the message. I told my older brother and the others, and now at least there is hope for the couple!"
Zhang Chulan: "It's nothing! Actually, I think it would be more reliable to buy the medicine from the group store if you want to cure your sister-in-law!"
Zhou Bingkun: "I've been keeping an eye on the group store, but unfortunately, so far, my group store hasn't updated with any items for treating eye problems or infertility!"
Zhang Chulan: "Everyone's group shop refreshes with different items, you can ask everyone to help you keep an eye on it!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Bingkun felt that it made sense.
So he tagged everyone in the group, hoping they would help him look into related treatment items.
Everyone in the group naturally agreed.
Chapter 266, Ning Caichen, who heeds advice! (Please subscribe!)
In fact, not only Zhou Bingkun, but everyone in the chat group actually has items they want.
So everyone in the chat group said what they wanted and asked others to keep an eye out for it in their group's online store.
The world of A Chinese Ghost Story, Lanruo Temple.
Yan Chixia was checking his group shop to see if there were any items that other people needed.
Then they heard someone outside calling out, "Hello, is anyone home inside?"
Upon hearing this voice, Yan Chixia couldn't help but frown.
Since the legend of ghosts at Lanruo Temple spread to several nearby counties, almost no one has come to Lanruo Temple late at night.
"Could it be that the plot is about to begin?" Yan Chixia couldn't help but think of the future video related to himself.
With this thought in mind, Yan Chixia stood up and went to the entrance of Lanruo Temple.
Upon opening the gate, Yan Chixia saw a scholar standing at the entrance.
The scholar looked exactly like Ning Caichen in his future video.
Although he recognized Ning Caichen, Yan Chixia pretended not to know him: "Who are you?"
Ning Caichen was startled by the sudden appearance of the bearded man and stammered that his name was Ning Caichen and that he wanted to stay the night.
"Come in!" Yan Chixia said to Ning Caichen.
Yan Chixia's strength is now far superior to that of the Tree Demon Granny, so he naturally has no worries about Ning Caichen being in any danger while spending the night at Lanruo Temple.
Moreover, if Ning Caichen were driven away, he might encounter even more dangers in the wild.
"Thank you, thank you!" Upon hearing Yan Chixia's words, Ning Caichen repeatedly expressed his gratitude. "May I ask how I should address you?"
Yan Chixia smiled and said, "My name is Yan Chixia!"
"So it's Master Yan!" Judging from Yan Chixia's appearance, Ning Caichen assumed he was a member of the martial arts world.
Yan Chixia led Ning Caichen to a meditation room: "Scholar, you will stay here tonight! Remember, no matter what happens tonight, do not go out, understand?"
Although Ning Caichen didn't know why Yan Chixia said that, he still nodded obediently.
After watching Ning Caichen enter the meditation room, Yan Chixia also returned to his own meditation room.
Yan Chixia: "Ning Caichen just arrived at Lanruo Temple. It seems my story is about to begin!"
Zhang Chulan: "Now, Hero Yan finally has a chance to take action against the Tree Demon Granny!"
Although Yan Chixia's strength is now far superior to that of the Tree Demon Granny, he did not take the initiative to attack her because of the agreement he had made with her.
Yan Chixia: "As long as that tree demon keeps its promise to me and doesn't kill good people, I won't harm it! After all, in this world, if it kills some people who deserve to die, it can be considered as ridding the people of a scourge!"
Yue Buqun: "Hero Yan, I actually think you can be like Master Zhang, overthrowing the corrupt court and creating a new world!"
Yan Chixia: "Bitter smile GIF. How can I rebuild the world all by myself?"
Yue Buqun: "You can go find a group of capable and like-minded people! I refuse to believe that there aren't any righteous and passionate individuals in your world!"
Yue Buqun: "Besides, since your world is in chaos with demons, you can find some demons and monsters with principles to cooperate with! Since the rise of demons and the decline of the righteous are the trend, why don't you go with the flow and create a world where humans and ghosts coexist?"
Ying Zheng: "Sect Leader Yue is right. Now that you've joined the chat group, why not take this opportunity to achieve great things?"
Yan Chixia: "Let me think about it some more! Let's see if the tree demon will attack Ning Caichen first!"
At this moment in the world of A Chinese Ghost Story, not long after Ning Caichen entered the meditation room, the mournful sound of a zither could be heard from outside.
"As expected of the protagonist of my future video, he appeared as soon as I arrived after I hadn't heard any music for so long!" Yan Chixia thought to himself as he listened to the music outside.
Ning Caichen was also drawn to the music.
Ning Caichen originally wanted to go out and see who was playing the zither, but remembering Yan Chixia's instructions, he stopped in his tracks.
Yan Chixia, who had been keeping a close eye on Ning Caichen, nodded secretly when he saw that Ning Caichen hadn't come out.
At least Ning Caichen was able to listen to my advice.
Not far from Lanruo Temple, at a waterside pavilion, the female ghost Nie Xiaoqian is playing the zither.
Previously, when Ning Caichen approached Lanruo Temple, he was discovered by Nie Xiaoqian.
However, Ning Caichen ran too fast, and before Nie Xiaoqian could "bump into" him, he entered Lanruo Temple.
So Nie Xiaoqian thought of using her zither music to lure him out.
As a result, he played so hard that the strings almost broke, but he still didn't see Ning Caichen come out of Lanruo Temple.
Left with no other choice, Nie Xiaoqian went directly to Lanruo Temple, intending to capture Ning Caichen.
Normally, Nie Xiaoqian wouldn't risk venturing into Lanruo Temple.
Because the Tree Demon Granny had told her female ghosts that there was a troublesome bearded man in Lanruo Temple, and it was best not to provoke him.
However, Nie Xiaoqian hasn't caught a single living person this month, and the Tree Demon Granny will surely punish her severely.
Therefore, in order to avoid punishment, Nie Xiaoqian had no choice but to take the risk.
Upon arriving outside Lanruo Temple, seeing that the lights in Yan Chixia's meditation room were already off, Nie Xiaoqian felt a little more relaxed.
Quietly arriving at the door of Ning Caichen's meditation room, Nie Xiaoqian carefully knocked on the door.
Just then, Ning Caichen was feeling sorry that the music had suddenly stopped when he heard someone knocking on the door.
