Reborn in the 1980s: Recapture My Devoted Husband-Chapter 949 - 774: The Secret

"No need, Little Star is also sleepy. Why not let her keep me company for a nap?" Lin Wan gently squeezed her daughter’s hand to signal her.

Little Star understood immediately and obediently said to Old Mrs. Mei and Ye Qing, "Great Grandma, Auntie, ha... I’m so sleepy, I want to sleep too," while deliberately yawning.

"Mom, let’s go upstairs."

"Alright."

The mother and daughter worked in harmony, leaving Ye Qing no choice but to let Little Star go upstairs.

Once they were upstairs and out of sight, they shared a mischievous giggle.

"Mom, isn’t Star amazing?"

"Yes, yes, my daughter is the best. Let’s be careful later, so Huahua’s mother doesn’t come snooping around."

"Okay."

As Lin Wan and Little Star reached the top, Aunt Wu brought them a foot warmer.

Lin Wan placed the foot warmer under the covers, and waited for Aunt Wu to leave before she and her daughter cautiously approached the flowerpots.

"Star, which flowerpot did you find it in back then?"

Little Star frowned, struggling to recall. "Oh right, I drew a picture."

Saying that, Little Star hurriedly ran inside and pulled out a drawing she had made during the summer visit.

"Mom, look, it’s this pot." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Little Star pointed at a rose pot, but because of the snow, it was covered in snow that hadn’t melted yet.

Lin Wan brushed off the snow, looked around, found a small stick, and poked at the soil, but it was too hard and seemed frozen.

Just as the mother and daughter were stumped, they heard noises from the stairs, so Lin Wan quickly took Little Star off the balcony.

Just as they reached the door, they saw Han Yi.

Lin Wan patted her chest in relief, "Oh, it’s you, you scared us."

Han Yi, seeing how nervous they appeared, knew what they were up to. "So, any luck?"

They responded with a disappointed shake of their heads, "The soil’s frozen, we haven’t opened it yet."

Han Yi looked at the snow-covered flowerpots on the balcony and chuckled, "You can use cold water in the pots. Just wait."

With that, Han Yi fetched a basin of cold water from the bathroom, and the three of them carefully poured it onto the rose pot.

After waiting a while, Han Yi used a slightly thicker wire to poke at the soil. Sure enough, he hit something hard.

"Dad, is it shiny?" Little Star asked excitedly, smiling.

Seeing their daughter’s excitement, Han Yi and Lin Wan quickly hushed her, "Shh, be quiet, let’s take a look first."

"Oh..." Little Star quickly closed her mouth, cautiously looking around. Not reassured, she even ran to the hallway to check if anyone was coming.

Lin Wan, observing her daughter’s behavior, smiled and shook her head helplessly.

Han Yi loosened the soil in the pot and began removing it, discovering there were actually diamonds inside. Most were at the bottom, not on top.

Lin Wan counted and found there were twenty to thirty, all about the same size.

"Ai Yi, what should we do?"

"Put them back for now, we’ll deal with it later. This soil doesn’t seem to have been turned for a long time, so the old man probably doesn’t meddle with these things often."

Lin Wan surveyed the large balcony, noting there were over thirty flowerpots of various sizes. "Ai Yi, I wonder if all these pots have something."

Han Yi nodded, smiling, "As long as we know. I’ll fix this pot quickly, so the old man doesn’t get suspicious."

"Yes," Lin Wan agreed, nodding.

"Dad, I want a shiny," Little Star, looking at all the shinies, was unhappy that her father was putting them all back.

Seeing his daughter wanted one, Han Yi paused and retrieved a diamond for her. "Remember, you can’t let anyone in the family know about this. If you want to play with it, do it at our house. I’ll keep this one for you until we get home."

"Okay, okay." Little Star was instantly thrilled to have her shiny.

"Remember, you can’t talk about this, and you mustn’t touch this flowerpot on your own, okay?" Lin Wan warned, worried her child might slip up.

"I know, Mom. Star won’t tell them, not even Huahua, okay?"

"Good girl."

Han Yi put all the diamonds back, packed the soil firmly, replanted the rose as it was, and covered it with snow. Using water, he quickly cleaned off the remaining soil on the balcony.
