Marrying My Bestie's Ferocious Brother - He Calls Me His Baby!-Chapter 83: Grandma Sent a Big Gift Box!

"Bang bang bang!"

The door was knocked loudly.

Gu Lan was leaning over her desk chewing on math problems, and was so scared that she dropped her pen.

"Who is it?"

She ran to open the door.

Outside stood a postal worker in a green uniform, carrying a huge cardboard box on his shoulder.

"Is this the home of Comrade Gu Yanshen? A package from Beijing, please sign for it."

Gu Lan’s eyes lit up.

"Beijing? Is it from my mom?"

She quickly signed her name and rushed into the house with the box.

"Sister-in-law! Sister-in-law! My mom sent something to us!"

Lin Wanyi was in the kitchen stewing chicken soup and came out upon hearing the noise.

Gu Lan was already eagerly tearing open the box.

Inside, neatly stacked were piles of yellowing books and notes.

On top was a letter.

Gu Lan opened the letter and quickly scanned it.

"Wow! Sister-in-law, look!"

Her voice was so excited it changed tone.

"My mom said these are the review materials my brother used for his college entrance exam all those years ago! She specifically dug them out from home!"

Lin Wanyi walked over.

She picked up a math exercise book.

On the title page, written neatly with a pen: Gu Yanshen, 1965.

She flipped open the pages.

Dense notes, each wrong question marked with solutions and analysis.

The handwriting was strong and forceful, each stroke filled with that man’s precision and seriousness.

Gu Lan was already holding a pile of notebooks, her eyes red with emotion.

"My mom is so wonderful!"

"These things, my brother cherished them so much back then, he wouldn’t let anyone touch them!"

"She actually sent them to us!"

Lin Wanyi’s gaze fell to the bottom of the box.

There, lay a small package wrapped in oil paper.

She opened it.

Inside was a neatly folded handwritten note and a small bag of dark brown herbs.

On the note was Mrs. Gu’s elegant handwriting:

"Wanyi, Yanshen has been a blockhead since childhood and doesn’t know how to take care of others. Now that you’re pregnant with twins, you need to be more careful. This is a prenatal prescription I acquired from an old Chinese doctor, boil it and drink it every day, it’s good for the children. Don’t tire yourself out with exams, the grandchildren are what’s important."

Gu Lan glanced over.

"My mom is actually quite thoughtful..."

Before she finished speaking.

She noticed a slight change in Lin Wanyi’s expression.

"Sister-in-law?"

Lin Wanyi smiled.

"It’s nothing."

But in her heart, a vague bitterness welled up.

Her mother-in-law cared for her.

It was a good thing.

But this care held concerns about her "fragile constitution," distrust in her ability to "take care of herself,"

and even dissatisfaction with Gu Yanshen "not knowing how to take care of others."

Just then.

The door opened.

Gu Yanshen walked in from outside.

He took off his military cap, his eyes landing on the books scattered all over the floor.

"What’s this..."

"Brother! Mom sent us your old study materials!"

Gu Lan excitedly held up a notebook.

"Look! This is your senior year physics notes! Just what I need!"

Gu Yanshen replied with "Hmm."

He walked over to Lin Wanyi, seeing the note and herbs in her hand.

His brows furrowed instantly.

He took the note.

Glanced over it.

His expression darkened visibly.

"What’s this supposed to mean?"

Gu Yanshen’s voice was cold.

"Does she think I can’t take care of you?"

Lin Wanyi pressed his hand down.

"Don’t be angry."

Her voice was soft.

"Mom is worried about me."

"Worried?"

Gu Yanshen sneered.

"She’s saying I’m incompetent."

He slapped the note onto the table.

Turning around, he seemed about to make a phone call.

Lin Wanyi quickly grabbed him.

"What are you doing?"

"Calling her, to get it clear."

"Ask what?"

Lin Wanyi looked at him calmly.

"Ask her why she doesn’t trust you? Or ask why she thinks I can’t take care of myself?"

Gu Yanshen was taken aback.

Lin Wanyi let go of his hand.

She picked up the packet of herbs.

"Your mom went to great lengths to send this because she’s worried about me tiring myself out."

"She wrote this note because she knows you, knows you’re busy with work and might not have time for me."

"It’s a senior’s care for a junior."

She looked up.

"If you go questioning her now, what will she think?"

"She’d think I’m complaining behind your backs and stirring up trouble between you and her."

Gu Yanshen’s Adam’s apple moved.

He opened his mouth.

But ultimately, he said nothing.

Lin Wanyi put away the herbs.

"I know you care about me."

Her voice was soft.

"But let me handle this."

She looked at him.

"Do you trust me?"

Gu Yanshen was silent for a few seconds.

Then, he extended his hand.

He pulled her into his embrace.

"I believe."

He buried his face in the crook of her neck.

His voice was hoarse.

"I believe everything."

It was late at night.

Lin Wan Yi locked the door to her room.

With a thought.

She slipped into the space.

The scene before her made her stop in her tracks.

In the center of the black soil.

Next to the original half-foot tall "Little Ginseng."

Three more had unexpectedly sprouted!

And each was larger than before, with a faint golden glow.

This is...

Lin Wan Yi walked over.

She crouched down.

And gently reached out to touch them.

A warm current, stronger than before, surged into her fingertips.

Her heart leapt.

This is the "King Plant" of Nuanjin Grass.

Its medicinal effect is ten times that of ordinary Nuanjin Grass.

Lin Wan Yi’s eyes lit up.

She carefully dug up all three "King Plants."

Then, she fetched three clean glass bottles.

In each bottle, she placed a "King Plant."

She poured in some high-proof liquor.

Then added three drops of highly concentrated Spiritual Spring Essence.

"Drip."

The liquor immediately started to boil.

An aroma, more potent than before, mixed with the liquor fragrance, spread out.

Lin Wan Yi satisfactorily sealed the three bottles of medicinal wine.

Then she found some oil paper and twine.

And wrapped them carefully in three layers.

She returned to her room.

Laid out some letter paper.

And picked up a pen.

The next morning.

Gu Yanshen pushed open the study door.

Lin Wan Yi was asleep on the desk, head tilted.

On the desk lay a completed, sealed letter.

And three tightly wrapped bottles.

Gu Yanshen walked over.

Gently picked her up.

Lin Wan Yi opened her eyes groggily.

"Finished writing... make sure to send it..."

She muttered and fell back asleep.

Gu Yanshen glanced at the letter on the desk.

On the envelope, neatly written: Mrs. Gu, Beijing.

His Adam’s apple bobbed.

He lowered his head.

And placed a gentle kiss on her forehead.

At the military district post office.

Gu Yanshen personally handed the package to the postal worker.

"Express delivery to Beijing."

The postal worker took the package.

Weighed it in his hands.

"Quite heavy, what’s inside?"

Gu Yanshen did not answer.

He turned around.

And walked out of the post office.

Sunlight spilled over him.

At the entrance to the family quarters.

Gu Lan was chatting with a few military wives.

"Hey, Gu Lan, I heard your sister-in-law is going to take the university entrance exam?"

One military wife asked curiously.

"Yes!"

Gu Lan proudly lifted her chin.

"My sister-in-law is amazing!"

"But how can she handle studying with a big belly?"

Another military wife said worriedly.

"What if she gets too tired..."

"Don’t worry!"

Gu Lan waved her hand.

"My sister-in-law knows her limits!"

"And, well..."

She leaned closer.

Said mysteriously.

"My sister-in-law sent something good to my mom last night!"

"What good thing?"

"Medicinal wine!"

Gu Lan lowered her voice.

"My sister-in-law made it herself, it’s specially for treating rheumatism!"

"Last time’s bottle, after my mom drank it, she could get up and walk again!"

"This bottle..."

She chuckled.

"My sister-in-law says the effect is even stronger!"

"If my mom drinks it, she might just run a marathon!"

The group laughed.

Just then.

A sharp voice came.

"Oh, sounds so mystical, could it be fake?"

Gu Lan turned around.

Liu Minfang was standing not far away, arms crossed.

A mocking smile on her face.

"Your sister-in-law, a capitalist’s daughter, can make medicine?"

"I think it’s just some hodgepodge stuff to fool your Gu Family!"

Gu Lan’s expression instantly turned cold.
