Chapter 73 Su Xiaoqin did it(1/2)
The box was placed in the Su family's firewood pile without anyone noticing.
Su Laosan has been restless all day. After all, he also felt that the box was definitely unusual and too heavy.
He suspected that the box might contain gold.
But this can't be said, no one can say it.
As uneasy as Su Laosan was Grandma Su.
On this day, Grandma Su looked outside countless times, always worrying whether others would discover something.
Grandpa Su saw some clues and quietly called Grandma Su to ask questions.
Grandma Su told Grandpa Su about this.
She actually regretted bringing such a thorny thing into the house.
People can't be greedy, it's too late to regret now.
After Grandma Su explained the reason for the incident, she said guiltily: "Old man, if you want to scold me, feel free to scold me. I know I'm wrong."
After Grandpa Su pondered for a moment, he said: "You are right to gain wealth through danger."
The children in the family have grown up one by one. People say that more children bring blessings, but Grandpa Su himself knows how much of a burden it is.
If it weren't for these babies, the old lady wouldn't have taken such a risk!
"You have a lot of secrets recently. If you don't tell me, I won't ask, but this matter is too big and different." Grandpa Su said in a low voice.
He estimated that not only he could see it, but also the rest of the family. This old woman couldn't hide things!
"It's okay if we know this ourselves, but we still have to let the kids at home know." Grandma Su asked hesitantly.
It hurts!
Not only are they worried about being discovered by others, and if they are found out, their whole family will be unlucky, but they are also worried about what they will do if their children find out!
"Everyone in the three houses must know about this." Grandpa Su thought for a moment and said, "Just let Mantian and his generation know about it."
It was the third child who did this. If the other two brothers noticed something was wrong, they would not be able to make the family uneasy because of something like this.
Grandma Su breathed a sigh of relief. This was what she was most worried about.
During this period of time, she left many things to the third child, and maybe the other two sons and daughters-in-law in the family already had objections.
Just as Grandma Su guessed, the people in the first and second bedrooms also felt that the atmosphere in the house was strange today. Qi Liangying had even asked Su Lao Er about it.
But Su Laoer insisted that Qi Liangying was overthinking it, and said that if something happened at home, he would definitely not hide it from his second wife.
Qi Liangying secretly hated that her man was a fool and didn't know anything.
But thinking about it again, it seems that my parents-in-law acted fairly.
If there's anything unfair about it, it's that he loves Xiaotian more than his other grandchildren.
As for the big house, it was Boss Su who noticed something was wrong, but he didn't say anything, not even mentioning it to his heartless mother-in-law Wang Xianghua.
After dinner, Grandpa Su sent all the children at home to the cowshed. The reason was of course to study.
Su Xiaotian knew what she was going to do, and immediately pulled her brothers away with a smile.
Grandpa Su immediately closed the door tightly and gathered all the adults in the family in the main room.
Seeing the expressions of their parents-in-law, the three couples became nervous. Could it be that something happened at home again?
Thinking about how something was wrong with Grandma Su today, I became even more worried.
"Dad, is it possible that someone reported our family again?" Su Laoer asked.
"No! I came here to tell you something." Grandpa Su said in a calm tone: "Third brother, please bring the things over here."
Su Laosan was busy going out.
Grandpa Su said to the others: "This matter is of great importance. Your mother and I have discussed it. I can't hide it from you, but you must remember that you can't tell anyone."
Grandpa Su glanced at the three daughters-in-law: "Including your parents' family, we can't say anything, otherwise, our whole family might even lose their lives!"
The three daughters-in-law looked at their husband's expression and knew that the matter was not simple, so they all nodded.
But they are still confused. What is this important matter? It will actually involve the loss of a whole family's life?
Su Laosan dug out the box from the pile of firewood and carefully carried it to the table in the main room.
Others were even more surprised when they saw the dirty box on the table.
"Dad, Mom, what is this?" Boss Su couldn't help asking.
"You'll know after you open it." Grandpa Su motioned to Mr. Su to open the box.
There was originally a lock on the box, but because it had been buried under it for a long time, it became rusty. Su Laosan was very strong, so he only twisted it a few times, and the lock fell off!
The moment the box was opened, everyone was stunned.
Even Grandpa Su and Grandma Su, who had guessed it a long time ago, were so surprised that they couldn't close their mouths and didn't make a sound for a long time.
It was as if time had stood still in the entire hall, and there was total silence!
What did they see?
Large yellow croakers and small yellow croakers were neatly stacked in small boxes measuring one foot square.
gold!
It turned out to be a box of gold!
Wang Xianghua trembled and pulled Boss Su: "Dad, I'm dreaming!"
Will I ever see gold again in this life?
It must be a dream.
Boss Su was also in disbelief: "Dad, is it true?"
"It should be true!" Grandpa Su said, "Third brother, please count."
Large sums of money, even if they come unexpectedly, must be clearly counted in person to avoid conflicts between sons over money in the future.
Grandpa Su has always seen this very clearly.
On weekdays, the sons and daughters-in-law don’t care if they eat an extra egg and a half for the children, but with so much gold, it would be strange not to care!
I have to say that Grandpa Su seems to be a taciturn person on weekdays, but he is a truly sober person.
It is precisely because we can see clearly that we can ensure that the whole family is happy.
Su Laosan counted them twice with trembling hands before saying, "Dad, twenty big ones and twenty small ones."
How much it weighed. He couldn't estimate it, but he calculated it in his mind. With so much gold, the price must be high!
Wait, that doesn’t seem right!
Su Laosan suddenly felt that something was wrong with this box. It looked quite deep. Why was it filled with such a layer?
He subconsciously knocked on the bottom of the box and immediately discovered that the sound of the box was wrong.
"There is a mezzanine!" Grandpa Su said after taking a puff of cigarette.
Mezzanine? Everyone holds their breath. If there is a mezzanine, it means that there may be more precious treasures in this mezzanine!
Sure enough, as Su Laosan took action, the things on the second floor appeared in front of everyone.
Even more eye-catching than the first floor, this floor is actually filled with jewels and jade.
They are all ordinary people and do not know the value of the jewelry and jade below. But if they can hide it under the box, according to common sense, it is more valuable than the gold above.
"Mother..." Even the calm Qi Liangying couldn't help shouting.
God, when did we have so many treasures in our house?
Did it originally exist in the old Su family, or did it suddenly appear from somewhere?
"Dad, Mom, where did you come from?" Boss Su finally came to his senses.
Their family has always been poor, so the appearance of these things is very strange!
"Lao San and Xiao Tian went up the mountain to pick them up today." Grandpa Su said calmly.
Picked it up?
Several people looked at each other.
They know that Xiaotian is lucky, but if you go up the mountain to pick up mushrooms and wild fruits, even pheasants and rabbits, can you still pick up gold and jewelry?
This thing is not a stone on the mountain, can it be picked up, and so many can be picked up at one time?
"Let you take a look at these things to give you an idea."
"You all know the current situation. We can't separate for the time being. We still have to hide it first to avoid getting into trouble."
Several people finally understood why Grandpa Su had said before that it would bring trouble to the whole family!
If these things are not hidden well, they can easily cause trouble!
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Including the three daughters-in-law, no one thought of dividing these into their own hands.
The last time they were reported and confiscated was still fresh in their minds, and they were frightened just once.
Wang Xianghua shuddered and said: "How about we throw it into the ditch? Although money is good, it is not as important as life!"
After saying this, several people had strange expressions on their faces.
If you throw it away, you will definitely be reluctant to part with it. There will be many places to spend money on in the future. If you just throw it away, will you regret it in the future?
But hiding at home, how can it be so easy?
"Dad, where are you hiding?" Su Laoer asked melancholy.
