Gu Zhang insisted that the house and land both be registered in Gu Fei's name. Gu Fei refused, wanting them to be in her father's name instead. They argued for a while, but in the end, Gu Fei had no choice but to give in to her father.
The three of them were eager to tell their family the good news, so they hurried back to the estate in the mule cart.
The family had been craning their necks in the main hall. The moment they saw the three of them enter through the door, Mrs. Chen trotted out to meet them, looking at Gu Zhang with hopeful eyes. "Is it done?"
Gu Zhang smiled and nodded. "It's done!"
"Really?!" Mrs. Chen jumped three feet high.
'Gu Fei couldn't remember ever seeing her mother so happy.'
Aunt Liu, who was doing needlework in the courtyard, smiled and asked, "Mrs. Chen, what's all the good news? You look so happy."
Mrs. Chen did her best to suppress a smile. "Oh, it's nothing, nothing at all."
