Early on the morning of the 13th.
Younger Sister Su was woken while still half asleep. After a simple breakfast of milk and eggs, Su Dad and Su Mom suggested that the whole family go to the amusement park.
Younger Sister Su was still rejoicing that yesterday had not been a dream and that she could eat food made by her parents again today when this sudden piece of good news left her dazed.
Going to the amusement park... she had dreamed of that since she was very little.
But as she grew older, she had become increasingly disappointed and no longer dared to hope for it.
"Yes, yes!" she hurriedly agreed, afraid that if she did not seem enthusiastic enough, her parents would abandon the idea.
And so, everyone got ready, and the family of four headed out together with Zhao Xun, the outsider.
Su Dad and Su Mom were even willing to spend money on a taxi to the amusement park.
But on the way, as they passed a shop specializing in pearls, Su Dad and Su Mom suddenly asked the driver to stop.
"We have a little business to take care of. It'll only take a few minutes," Su Dad told Zhao Xun and Su Tiantian with a cheerful smile. "Wait here for us."
"Yes, yes, we'll be right back." Su Mom nodded along.
"Then hurry," Su Tiantian said, smiling. "If you take more than five minutes, what you're getting will be reduced."
Su Dad and Su Mom both froze for a moment before realizing what Su Tiantian meant.
If they stayed outside too long, they would not receive the full amount of the gold bars and gemstone necklace they had been promised.
Both were full of resentment, but all they could do was smile and agree.
