Chapter 255 The system calls me to save the field (12)
"The treasure at the bottom of the box?"
Grandma Qiao was startled by Qiao Zhenbang, and she looked intently at her beloved grandson.
Suddenly, she discovered that this grandson, whom she had always been proud of, suddenly became a little strange.
Especially the way he looked at the moment, with red eyes, unkempt beard, and a wretched look, he looked like he had been fooling around somewhere for several days and nights.
Grandma Qiao, who is well-informed, suddenly has a picture in her mind——
A son of a wealthy family in a certain provincial town was a prodigal bastard. After gambling all his fortune, he still wanted to recoup his money, so he even took the gold earrings from his mother's ears in the street to use them as gambling money.
My mother's earlobe was torn off, and blood flowed out.
The prodigal son didn't seem to notice it. After stuffing the gold earrings into his arms, he grabbed his mother's neck and shouted: "Old man, if you have anything valuable, please take it out for me!"
That kind of heart-rending madness, that kind of inhumanity, makes people feel chilled in their hearts.
But the eldest grandson in front of him unexpectedly coincided with the crazy prodigal son in his memory.
Only then did Grandma Qiao realize, "Jiaojiao was right, Qiao Zhenbang has indeed gone astray!"
Qiao Zhenbang: ...I have been busy in the town these past few days to find out information. I haven't been able to eat well or sleep well, so I look rather depressed.
Moreover, Qian Xiu'e's incident had a big impact on Qiao Zhenbang, and he urgently needed a confirmation.
Woohoo, that's the richest man, or some other big prospect.
If grandma also confirms that there are no past lives at all, let alone warnings in dreams, then, then——
Qiao Zhenbang couldn't believe this fact, and he didn't want to face the stupidity he had committed: he was living a good life, but he insisted on believing in the random thoughts in his head, and in the end, his wife, who was a good wife, was exposed for her true colors.
Now Qiao Zhenbang is unwilling to go home at all, because as soon as he enters the house, he has to face his parents' sighs and frowns.
There are also the grievances and complaints from younger brothers and sisters, as well as all kinds of complaints and anger.
Not to mention, he also has a wife who is as good as a tigress and keeps asking him to pay back the money.
How comfortable Qiao Zhenbang has been in the past one or two years, how miserable he is now.
The key is the blow to self-confidence and self-esteem.
He Tiantian acted like a creditor every day, and Qiao Zhenbang finally realized that he had become the man he despised the most.
Hua used his wife's dowry and asked her to subsidize the family income.
As for him, not only did he not forget to take a penny from home, but he used his wife's money to go out and have a good time!
He, he actually became a real gangster.
Suddenly waking up, Qiao Zhenbang was really ashamed and annoyed.
It is true that Jiao Jiao had other motives for marrying him, but why did he also take advantage of a hateful person?
Could it be that just because Jiao Jiao plotted against him, he could feel at ease being a scoundrel?
He had previously scolded Cao Changsheng for not being a thing.
Reflecting carefully on what he had done, he seemed to be inferior to Cao Changsheng.
At least Cao Changsheng was very kind to his wife when he was making love to her.
At most, it was a peaceful moment when Cao's mother was flirting with his wife.
Looking back at Qiao Zhenbang, what did he do?
Yes, "Jiao Jiao" did have a plan when she married him.
However, in the more than a year after marriage, except for the fact that she did not learn how to disguise at the beginning, "Jiao Jiao" did very well in the following days.
Qiao Zhenbang and his family are also comfortable and enjoy all her dedication without any psychological burden.
Suddenly there were some inexplicable memory fragments in his mind, and Qiao Zhenbang directly denied his wife as a person and erased her efforts over the past year or so.
This, this doesn't seem to be what a gentleman would do.
Again, as the male protagonist, Qiao Zhenbang is not a scumbag. He has at least three views and a bottom line.
If he could prove that his past life or the warning in his dream really existed, Qiao Zhenbang would be fine, because it would prove that Jiao Jiao was not innocent and that her evil deeds were punished.
But if this is not the case, then wouldn't he become a shameless villain who "picks up the bowl to eat and then puts the bowl down to scold his mother"?!
For Qiao Zhenbang, who has always claimed to be strong-willed and ambitious, this is definitely a stain that cannot be washed away.
Grandma Qiao is his last glimmer of hope and his only remaining fantasy.
One can imagine the eagerness in his heart.
And on the surface, it is almost paranoid madness.
Grandma Qiao: ...No! We must pull our grandson back from the wrong path!
"No! Our family is from a poor family, where did the treasure come from?" Grandma Qiao answered resolutely.
When she said "no" to He Tiantian before, she still had a hint of emotion.
But this time, her expression and words did not hesitate or give Qiao Zhenbang the slightest room for fantasy.
"No? Nai, you, didn't you once work as a maid in a wealthy family?"
As for the eldest maids who have served the young lady, they are basically like the deputy young ladies. Not only are they proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but most of them are literate and can embroider.
"I'm just an errand girl. I usually bring tea and water to the lady. Apart from recognizing a few words, I don't know anything. I don't have any treasures!"
Grandma Qiao really didn't leave any loopholes, she just made herself useless.
In order to prove that what she said was correct, she also gave an example, "If there were really valuable things, or some profitable craftsmanship, our family would not be living in such a difficult situation."
"Back then, your father had tuberculosis. As long as the family had some money and bought him some good medicine and let him eat some good food, he could survive."
"In order to treat your father, the family sold everything they could, except the house. In the end, they still couldn't keep him!"
"Your father and I have been together for decades. If I really have a treasure in my hands, can I just watch him die?"
Grandma Qiao mentioned her wife originally just to give an example.
But as she spoke, she was touched by sad things and couldn't help wiping away tears.
Grandma Qiao cried, and Qiao Zhenbang wanted to cry even more!
But he still refused to give up easily, and asked again, "Mom, do you know how to embroider? That kind of double-sided embroidery?"
Grandma Qiao was wiping her tears when she suddenly heard her grandson's words and her heart seemed to stop beating temporarily.
Embroidery? Or double-sided embroidery?
Okay, why would my grandson ask that?
Did he hear something?
Grandma Qiao was so flustered that she felt her hands and feet were shaking uncontrollably.
no!
Never let your grandson know.
"What embroidery? I do know some needlework, and I can usually embroider handkerchiefs, but I'm not allowed to do it these years, and I work all year round, so my hands have become thick!"
I have to say that Grandma Qiao's mental quality is quite strong.
Although I was extremely nervous, I could still squeeze my palms and try to calm myself down.
She pretended to be helpless, and deliberately stretched out her other hand to let her grandson take a closer look: "Look, it's all covered with calluses and burrs. It's hard to hold a needle with a hand like this, let alone embroidery."
."
"Also, I can't do the double-sided embroidery you mentioned. Even if I could, I still wouldn't be able to embroider it now."
"Double-sided embroidery requires the use of silk threads on fine materials. Those things are very delicate. If your hands are a little rough, the silk threads and fabrics can be scratched."
"...Zhenbang, don't think about those pie-in-the-sky things. Although your father is a landlord, he is already an old man."
"Our Lao Qiao family has been a poor family since your father. We don't have anything valuable at home."
Qiao Zhenbang's eyes were dull and his heart was already in a mess.
Grandma doesn’t have any treasures at the bottom of the box, and she doesn’t know how to embroider.
Therefore, whether it is the "past life" that Qiao Zhenbang thinks he is or the scene that Jiao Jiao dreamed about, riding a horse is a lie!
Qiao Zhenbang seemed to have had his backbone pulled out, his back instantly bent down, and his whole person seemed to have lost all energy.
"Zhenbang? Zhenbang! What's wrong with you? Don't scare me!"
Grandma Qiao felt distressed and anxious when she saw her grandson like this.
She didn't want to lie to him, but it was too obvious that this child was really on the wrong track.
If he didn't wake him up in time, he, he might end up like the prodigal sons and unworthy descendants he had seen, with his family ruined and his family ruined.
"...Milk, I, I'm fine!"
Qiao Zhenbang is the male protagonist after all. Although he is full of despair, he still reacts in the shortest time.
Looking up and seeing his grandma's worried eyes, Qiao Zhenbang blamed himself very much and said quickly, "I, I'm just a little anxious. My family needs money, and I found a good way out, but it's a pity that I don't have the capital!"
Grandma Qiao: ...If her grandson's daughter-in-law hadn't told her the true situation of her eldest grandson in advance, she would have believed what he said.
I don't know whether it's a pity or a blessing that my grandson has married a good wife. When he comes to visit her every day, he doesn't forget to talk about his grandson's condition.
He ran out early in the morning every day and came back in the middle of the night.
He said he was going to town to make money, but it's been several days and he hasn't gotten back a penny.
Grandma Qiao was not a believer. Occasionally, when her father came to fetch water or chop wood for her, Grandma Qiao would ask roundabout questions.
As a result, "Jiao Jiao" did not lie. Even Qiao's father could not help but sigh when he heard Qiao Zhenbang's name.
have to!
Is there anything else Grandma Qiao doesn’t understand?
The grandson was led astray by those bad friends. They talked about having a way out and making a lot of money. But in the end, he just lied to his family and continued to fool around outside!
"Hey, Zhenbang, it's a good thing that you want to make money, but we really don't have anything valuable at home. How about you do what you did in the past, just throw in some wild products and eggs, and make a profit on the price?"
Grandma Qiao suggested tentatively.
Qiao Zhenbang grinned, trying to give his grandma a reassuring smile.
But he really couldn't laugh. In the end, he smiled bitterly and left the old house.
Looking at her grandson's devastated back, a flash of determination flashed in Grandma Qiao's eyes.
"No, Tiantian, the hero's grandma is going to burn that ancient embroidery manual!"
Student D, who has opened God's perspective, serves as a universal monitor conscientiously.
Sensing something strange about Grandma Qiao, it quickly jumped out to report.
"Has Qiao Zhenbang been there?"
He Tiantian was a little surprised when she heard the news, but she quickly figured it out.
It must be Qiao Zhenbang who went to find Grandma Qiao for final verification.
He Tiantian had laid the groundwork before. Qiao Zhenbang would definitely become more anxious because of Qian Xiu'e's matter, so he scared Grandma Qiao.
In order to avoid future troubles, Grandma Qiao simply burned the ancient embroidery books.
Although Grandma Qiao was a little reluctant to give up, for the safety of the Qiao family and to prevent Qiao Zhenbang from "squandering the family", Grandma Qiao, who has always known how to make choices, finally made a decision!
He is indeed a man who has seen the world and is very decisive!
"That ancient embroidery book is a good thing. It would be a pity if it was really burned!"
Little D’s classmate couldn’t bear it and said naggingly.
"Don't worry, I've secretly read it and can copy it verbatim."
When He Tiantian went to the old house to see the old lady, it was not just for acting and foreshadowing. She also secretly found the ancient embroidery book while the old lady was taking a nap.
He Tiantian has Shen Yan's super-powerful brain, and she tries to expand her brain with some memory-enhancing methods.
Now He Tiantian has slowly figured out a set of memory methods of his own. Even if he doesn't have the incredible "photographic memory" skill, he can still memorize the most content in the shortest time.
In addition, He Tiantian also received the treasure chest reward obtained in the previous world - Bai Wei's embroidery skills.
She is considered an expert. When reciting the ancient embroidery manual, she can definitely get twice the result with half the effort.
Therefore, after only watching it twice, He Tiantian completely mastered all the techniques of ancient embroidery manuals and was able to write them out completely from memory.
"Oh, yes, I forgot about it! But, Tiantian, your memory is getting better and better!"
Little D’s classmate jumped up and down a little and admired from the bottom of his heart.
"...It's okay. After I leave Qiao's house, I will re-create an ancient embroidery book, then find the real owner and return it to them!"
He Tiantian carefully studied the ancient embroidery manual and naturally did not ignore some small words on the title page.
And these small characters tell very clearly that this ancient embroidery book comes from an embroidery family named Gu.
But during the Republic of China, the Gu family suffered a great disaster, and the large family was torn apart.
Coincidentally, the master that Grandma Qiao served before was named Gu.
That Miss Gu wanted to go to Hong Kong City with her husband's family, but Grandma Qiao didn't want to follow. She took advantage of the chaos and escaped from the host's house, and also stole one of the lady's jewelry boxes.
The ancient embroidery manual is hidden in the mezzanine of the box. Grandma Qiao does not understand the value of the ancient embroidery manual, but she is smart enough - the lady has hidden something in the mezzanine, it must be very precious!
All the jewelry was pawned and even the box was sold for money, but Grandma Qiao only left behind this ancient embroidery manual.
Firstly, it is difficult to get rid of, and secondly, Grandma Qiao also thinks that this is a treasure that can be passed down to the family.
He Tiantian didn't know about Grandma Qiao's past, but she clearly remembered it in the embroidery book. It belonged to the Gu family.
As for Grandma Qiao's dodge and caution when she mentioned the ancient embroidery manual, He Tiantian couldn't help but guess that the old lady's method of obtaining the embroidery manual was probably not particularly glorious.
No matter what, it is an eternal truth that things should be returned to their original owners.
He Tiantian made a decision in her heart and stopped caring about this matter.
However, half an hour later, Little D’s classmate shouted crazily from the depths of the sea of consciousness: "Tiantian! Tiantian! Oh no, the hero’s grandma accidentally burned down the kitchen when she was burning ancient embroidery books. Now the whole
The old house is on fire!"
Almost at the same time, the neighbors' screams could be heard on the street outside: "It's bad! It's on fire! Come and put out the fire!"
When He Tiantian and the Qiao family ran to the Qiao family's old house, the dilapidated small courtyard was already surrounded by fire.
"mom!"
"grandmother!
Father Qiao and father and son Qiao Zhenbang shouted heartbreakingly...
