Chapter 429 Ten Miles of Red Makeup, Huge Inheritance
After saying this, the old man was so anxious that he was about to cry, and his hands were trembling.
Zhou Yan hurriedly supported him, patted his back, and said comfortingly: "Grandpa Hai, don't get excited. Speak slowly. I will do whatever I can."
"I was fooled! In April, Guo Acai came here with the third master. Guo Acai came to ask where my wife's dowry had gone, and also asked if the master had left any inheritance for the second master. I doubt that she heard
What's the news?"
"I don't know what happened. Anyway, at that time, my mind started to become unclear and I couldn't say what I wanted to say." Zhou Hai said anxiously, "I lost my caution."
He suspected that Zhou Lihe had given him a cup of tea, which was drugged. What a wretched person. How could Mr. Zhou have such a wife and son?
If Zhou Yan doesn't speak, it will be difficult for you to avoid others if they want to do something. Especially Guo Acai is Zhou Hanqing's step-mother, and her step-mother is also his wife. If she wants to do something, it will be difficult for Zhou Hai to avoid it.
Zhou Hai said anxiously: "I don't know how many days I can live. Regarding my wife's dowry, I originally went to see the uncle. The uncle said that he didn't want to touch the wife's things. Who knew something happened to the uncle? I thought he didn't give it to me."
you say."
It’s not like Zhou Yan hasn’t been here in recent years. He came twice to pay homage to his grandparents at the Zhouqian Island Cemetery.
He originally thought that the tombs of Zhou Hanqing and Yu Fanghua were in this village. In the past six months, his body had been transformed by ginseng fruit, and he saw that there was an empty coffin in the underground coffin.
The uncle is Zhou Yan's father. He knows where Yu Fanghua's dowry is, but his death was too sudden. If he hadn't told Zhou Yan, the dowry would have to wait for archaeologists to discover it in the future.
Zhou Yan really didn't know that his parents really didn't tell Zhou Yan because the couple never expected that something would happen suddenly.
Zhou Hai was comforted by Zhou Yan, and his mood gradually calmed down.
"Our Zhou family moved from Tianzhen Village. Although Tianzhen Village is always prone to disasters, there are still many tombs of the Zhou family's ancestors that have not been moved here. Mr. Feng Shui said that the ancestral tombs there have good Feng Shui and will bring prosperity to their descendants."
Zhou Yan immediately guessed that the empty coffin underground here was for Guo Acai and his clan members to see, and the real tomb was still in Tianzhen Village.
Sure enough, Zhou Hai said: "The graves of the master and his wife are over there. The master arranged it. Only I and Rong Yongtai know about this matter."
Rong Yongtai was dead and he was the only one left. He was worried!
"My wife's dowry was buried in the basement of the ancestral hall of my ancestral home by the master during his lifetime. He said that my wife's things were still for her to take with her. The master's own things were given to Rong Yongtai and taken out in batches long ago."
In other words, neither the dowry nor Zhou Hanqing's huge wealth was buried in the cemetery. Instead, one was hidden under the ancestral hall and the other was taken out of Modu.
When Rong Yongtai was asked to take away all the liquid property one after another, it was not because he was wary of Guo Acai. At that time, Guo Acai was not a big deal.
Hiding property is more to cope with the social situation. After all, before the founding of the Porcelain Kingdom, the society was turbulent and chaotic.
"Before Rong Yongtai left, he told me that all his things had been brought back to Huyang, and would be handed over to the second, third and third masters later. There was Guo Acai in the clan, and Rong Yongtai and I rarely met. I didn't expect that he would suddenly die too.
."
The whereabouts of the master’s things are unknown!
Zhou Yan got the news about this, and he had been looking for clues about Rong Yongtai in Huyang.
Zhou Hai cried as he spoke, feeling angry and regretful: "I went to find Rong Yongtai. He was arrested and interrogated. In order to protect the master's things, he chose to die, but you have to give a message even if you die,
Where did you put the things..."
Zhou Hai told Zhou Yan the location of the ancestral tomb in Tianzhen Village, saying that he never dared to go there openly, for fear that Guo Acai's spy would be attracted there.
The ancestral home of the Zhou family in Tianzhen Village has been completely abandoned, but in the place that was once used as an ancestral hall, there live two families, surnamed Gu, who were saved by Zhou Hanqing before and are close friends.
On the surface, these two people have nowhere to go and can only live in this ancestral hall. In fact, they spend the rest of their lives guarding the Zhou family.
"You'd better not go now," Zhou Hai said hesitantly and ambivalently, "If possible, it's best if you take him away."
Who can stare at it all day long? Who can keep staring at the shameless descendants who are digging at their ancestors' graves, especially the graves of jade and youth?
Zhou Yan hummed and said, "Cousin Chang'an and I are not short of money now. If it can be kept underground, we won't take it out. If we can't keep it, we'll talk about it later."
Zhou Hai breathed a sigh of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted, and said: "I won't interfere whether you take it or not. I told you the news today. Half of my heartache has gone away, and I have half of what the master left with Rong Yongtai."
Keep looking."
"Stop looking for it. Grandpa's property is quite sensitive, so it's best not to be exposed to the public. And we really don't need it."
Zhou Hai was so happy that he burst into tears again.
Regardless of whether Mr. Zhou's children are well-educated or not, he must eventually hand over the family wealth to them. If they are all libertines, there is nothing he can do.
He was very pleased that Zhou Yan could work hard on his own like the old man, instead of plundering and worrying about Mr. Zhou's family fortune.
When the two of them were talking in the room, Liang Xiaonan did not use her mental energy to penetrate it. She felt that she respected Zhou Yan and their conversation must not be eavesdropped.
She and Zhou Guangming were chatting in the yard. Zhou Guangming now mainly goes fishing with the village fishing boat. The boat is not big and the fishing quantity is very limited.
"There's not enough food to eat, and there's not enough firewood to burn," Zhou Guangming said, scratching his head, "You can't eat fish."
When Zhou Yan and Zhou Hai came out from their chat, Liang Xiaonan had almost figured out the situation in Zhoujiacun.
Zhou Yan knew she wouldn't eavesdrop, so he smiled and asked her, "What are you talking about?"
"Zhou Guangming and I were talking about the production on their island." Liang Xiaonan said, "They said there was not enough food to eat."
Not to mention that the fishermen on their island don’t have enough food to eat. Where else in the country can there be enough food? It’s just that it’s more difficult for fishermen.
Zhou Yan said to Zhou Hai, who was able to walk independently: "Grandpa Hai, Xiaonan has developed some high-yielding seeds. We will leave a batch for you later. What crops do you want to plant?"
When Zhou Hai heard that there were high-yielding seeds, he said happily: "There is some land on this island where various crops are planted interspersed. It would be best to add some fruit trees. We can't get seedlings."
"We will bring you seeds and fertilizer later. We will bring you some in the afternoon."
Zhou Hai didn’t take it seriously. No matter what, Zhou Yan was Zhou Hanqing’s grandson. He couldn’t be a real farmer. Where did he get high-yield seeds and fertilizer?
Avoiding Zhou Hai, Zhou Yan said to Liang Xiaonan: "Let's go to Tianzhen Village first."
Liang Xiaonan didn't ask why, Zhou Yan had more eyes than the stars in the sky, so he was right.
Tianzhen Village is some distance away from here, and it took almost two hours of driving to get there.
The village is no longer a village, there are only a few households, and almost all of them are old men and women, not young people.
Zhou Yan went directly to the ancestral hall to find the people named Gu. They were the most loyal servants who guarded the ancestral graves of the Zhou family. Although it was a new society, they still abided by the old etiquette and refused to violate their loyalty to their masters.
The old ancestral hall of the Zhou family is very similar to a small temple. It has a main building and a side room. The house is not high and is built with stones.
Although it looks old, it is still clean.
There are two courtyards behind the ancestral hall, where two old people named Gu live.
Seeing their arrival, the two old men were still very alert. Zhou Yan said, "Grandpa Hai asked me to come. My name is Zhou Yan."
