Gu Yunjiao handed over the bundle to him without a second word.
Jiang Youzhi had previously heard from Gu Mei that inside was a family heirloom, so he took the bundle and held it carefully in his arms, as if afraid it might fall and get damaged.
Gu Yunjiao saw this and chuckled, "You might as well just carry it by the handle."
"There's nothing particularly special inside, just a set of Golden Needles, a mortar, and a few books. It wouldn't matter if they got jostled around."
"However, these Golden Needles were passed down from my ancestors; in truth, they're not worth much money."
Jiang Youzhi breathed a sigh of relief and finally slung the bundle over his shoulder.
When they got home, it was still early.
Jiang Youzhi gave the bundle back to Gu Yunjiao at the doorway, worried that his family might misunderstand and think he had bought something valuable.
As they entered, Mrs. Zhou spotted the bundle in Gu Yunjiao's hand from the courtyard, her eyes darting around.
