Half an hour passed quickly. The All-Heavenly Gourmet Sign-In System, just in time, reminded Ding Yun at 00:01 seconds that it had deducted one point of merit and one point of fortune.
Ding Yun, who had persevered until this moment, rolled her eyes.
If she had known, she wouldn't have stayed up late. One point of merit and one point of fortune was so little that she felt the night was not worth staying up for. However, she roughly understood the mechanism of the All-Heavenly Sign-In System: it desperately needed merit and fortune, but dared not take too much or deduct too much.
Only by being mildly impactful could it be sustainable.
If it encountered someone impatient and also wealthy, willing to pay ten thousand points of merit or ten thousand points of fortune, that would be best, allowing for three years of operation from a single sign-in.
If not, it could still be a steady stream.
Either way, there were no losses.
Even if one point of merit and one point of fortune seemed insignificant, over many years, the accumulated amount would certainly not be small. Big Wind Novel
Three hundred sixty-five points a year.
Ten years would be three thousand six hundred fifty points.
For lives with short lifespans, it might not be a big deal, but for those with long lifespans, it would be a genuine loss. To avoid such losses, Ding Yun immediately continued to stay up, using her mental power in her sea of consciousness to create a soul plugin.
It had no other function.
It was simply to sign in at a fixed time every day.
And to remind Ding Yun after the dinner sign-in, so that Ding Yun could decide how to handle the so-called delicacies obtained from the sign-in, and eat one or two edible items to avoid punishment and deductions of merit and fortune.
Of course, if she really couldn't eat it, or if it wasn't something edible for humans, then she would have to give up.
After finishing this matter, Ding Yun finally slept soundly.
The next morning, after breakfast, it was time to go to the destination to claim the prize. The entire process was very smooth. Afterward, Ding Yun didn't rush back to move things. Instead, she booked a hotel online and bought some items she liked that the original owner didn't have but Ding Yun did, before unhurriedly returning to move.
All the original owner's belongings were moved out.
Of course, this referred to items of value; worthless ones had already been sorted and discarded by Ding Yun. The value here mainly referred to usability and sentimental value.
And most of them were of sentimental value.
Actually, Ding Yun would not be affected even if she left all of the original owner's belongings behind. However, Ding Yun did not want to completely erase all traces of the original owner, so she specifically kept some items of sentimental value, planning to carry them with her and store them in a storage room after buying a new house.
Perhaps they could be left to the original owner's children.
To receive a moving gesture, or something similar.
While moving, Ding Yun saw Gu Jianguo, who had just returned, but neither of them said much.
Gu Jianguo did not ask her to stay, and Ding Yun did not pay him any attention.
After moving everything, they parted ways completely.
After this, Ding Yun no longer intended to concern herself with the Gu family's affairs, neither their claims nor their funeral arrangements. She even directly blocked them on WeChat, too lazy to bother, not wanting to deal with them.
She focused on considering where to buy a new house. And on cultivating the Gluttonous Art.
...
Because the funeral arrangements could not be completed in a short time and had to wait until the compensation was settled before cremation and funeral, Gu Haomiao and the others clearly could not take leave until the funeral.
Therefore, they canceled their leave that afternoon and returned to work as usual.
They planned to take leave again when the body entered the cremation process.
As a result, Gu Haomiao only knew that his parents had gone to the Civil Affairs Bureau, but he was unaware of whether they had successfully divorced. He only found out that they had truly divorced when he saw his father posting a picture of his divorce certificate with drinks on WeChat during dinner that evening.
"Wife, my parents really divorced. Look at this WeChat post, is that a divorce certificate? But I remember divorce certificates are green, when did they become red? But Dad wouldn't fake it!"
After looking at WeChat, Gu Haomiao handed his phone to his wife with a troubled expression. His wife, Zhou Pingping, also looked at it with surprise for a while and said, "They really divorced? I thought it was just a quarrel.
Divorce certificates used to be green, but in recent years, they've all been red. But you said your parents always had a good relationship and rarely argued, so why did they divorce so suddenly?
My mother-in-law is really a woman of her word.
I never saw it before!"
"It's not just you who didn't see it, I didn't see it either. With my mother's attitude, it's like she's a completely different person. This morning, I heard her say that she used to endure it for the sake of the two children. Now it seems my mother was probably telling the truth. She was probably already dissatisfied with my father but had been enduring it without saying anything."
It was only at this point that Gu Haomiao began to believe Ding Yun's words from that morning and felt a complex mix of emotions, unsure of what to do.
Should he accept it calmly?
Or should he try to persuade them again?
"Hey, I think it's reasonable. After every college entrance exam, many families divorce directly, right? Those families pretended to be fine. Many children are stunned when they see their parents divorce, not understanding why.
In reality, the affectionate behavior in front of the children before was just acting.
But your mother, my mother-in-law, was more patient than others. She endured until you got married. No, perhaps mother-in-law originally planned to endure it all along, until this time when your father got drunk and caused your grandfather's death.
This was the last straw that broke the camel's back.
It made her finally explode.
There's a saying, don't provoke honest people, and either transform in silence or explode in silence. So, my mother-in-law is probably an honest person who exploded.
Sigh, fortunately, you don't drink. If you drank and were drunk all the time, oh no, if you were like your father, drinking every day and being drunk.
I wouldn't have liked you either."
After a brief analysis, Zhou Pingping patted Gu Haomiao's shoulder with satisfaction and continued, "By the way, should we go comfort Mom? Dad doesn't seem to need comforting. Yesterday I heard you say he was going to quit drinking, but he's drinking again, drowning his sorrows. We don't need to comfort him.
So let's comfort Mom.
Also, doesn't mother-in-law own any property? Where is she living now? If not, you can have mother-in-law come live with us. Honestly, I have no problem with mother-in-law coming to live with us, but I really don't want to support your father...
A drunkard, the thought of him living here gives me a headache.
Oh my, I'm starting to regret getting married. Back then, I just thought mother-in-law was a good person, and everyone only talked about mother-in-law-daughter-in-law conflicts, forgetting about the father-in-law.
Let me tell you, if your father needs us to support him in the future, it will be all you. Don't expect me to help. First of all, men and women shouldn't be too intimate, and as a woman, it's not easy for me to take care of him. Secondly, I don't want to take care of a drunkard. I'm willing to reluctantly take care of your mother.
