Chapter 14: Ming

Take out the night light from the space and turn it on.

Knowing the exact location makes it easy to find. Soon Xue Miaoyun saw a hidden button and applied a little force.

This is a design similar to a cellar, but the area is much smaller than a cellar. Inside was a box, one meter long and wide. Xue Miaoyun felt that it looked somewhat familiar.

Looking at the locked box again, I had no intention of opening it on the spot, so I just put it into the space and would look at it when I got home.

After checking and finding nothing else, Xue Miaoyun simply restored the ground to its original state and left.

We still have to go to the sea, and the fish trade for tomorrow has already been discussed. There are not enough fish in the space.

At daybreak, Xue Miaoyun finished her business with the middleman and returned home with sixty yuan.

Xue Miaoyun, who was lying on the bed resting, sighed that it was quite easy to make money. Of course, she also knew that this was because she had a golden finger. Ordinary fishermen, without modern fishing boats, have very little or no catch every day. And now that we can’t buy and sell, life has become even more difficult.

But good days are just around the corner, so just hold on a little longer.

Xue Miaoyun took out the money in the space and counted it, feeling very satisfied. After putting the money back into the space, Xue Miaoyun saw the box he had just received and took it out.

The wood of this box looks very strong. Xue Miaoyun doesn't know much about wood, but she can tell at a glance that it is good wood.

The lock on the box was not big, and Xue Miaoyun did not use any other tools, but just pulled it with his hands.

Click.

The lock fell off.

When she opened the box, Xue Miaoyun was surprised to see jewels and precious stones inside.

"Hiss!" Xue Miaoyun took a breath of cold air.

I saw that half of the box was filled with small and large yellow croakers. The other half was various boxes. Xue Miaoyun opened one of them and found a pair of jade bracelets.

Wait, why do these bracelets look so familiar to her?

The box was familiar, the bracelet was familiar, even if Xue Miaoyun was slow-witted, she could tell something was wrong.

Xue Miaoyun searched through the original owner's memory more carefully. He checked the things in the box one by one, and then came to a shocking conclusion. These things all belonged to the original owner, and many of them were the dowry of the original owner's mother.

Li Lihua came from a good family and was the daughter of a wealthy family in the capital. She met Xue Jianguo because she ran away from home to join the revolution.

After the capital was liberated, the Li family saw that their daughter had married and the man had a good future, so they approved the marriage and gave their daughter a large dowry. After that, the Li family developed for a period of time. At the beginning of the movement, the head of the Li family realized the crisis and simply donated most of his property to the country, and then the whole family went abroad.

As a married woman with a child and a husband who is a soldier, Li's mother naturally would not go with her parents. Who could have imagined that Xue Jianguo would die soon after, leaving his orphan and widow to struggle to survive.

As for how Li's mother's dowry ended up in the Xue family, based on the original owner's mother's intelligence, it wouldn't have been given by her herself. It's likely that the Li family found out when she was hiding it. The original owner had no idea that there were these things at home. It was obvious that Li's mother knew that the things had been discovered by the Song family. For the safety of her daughter, she could not pursue the matter and could only conceal it. I'm afraid she also hopes that the Song family will treat her daughter well for the sake of these properties.

These were all calculated by Xue Miaoyun based on the original owner's memory. According to the original owner's memory, Li Dacui did test the original owner to see if he knew about these properties. After making sure that the original owner didn't know, Li Dacui looked down on the original owner. Probably he took all these things for himself. She felt that the Song family had become wealthy and no longer looked down on the original owner, an orphan.

Xue Miaoyun didn't know what to say. If the original owner's family were in a novel, they would definitely be cannon fodder among cannon fodder. An existence that gives money and opportunities to the protagonist.

Tsk, I wonder if the two sons of the Song family know about this windfall.

When I think of the two sons of the Song family, I think of the original owner’s ex-fiancé.

"I almost forgot," Xue Miaoyun slapped her forehead. She said she had forgotten something, and the Song family had not returned the token of broken engagement yet.

Because she didn't care about this marriage, she became very busy after breaking off the engagement, thinking about exploring the golden finger and making money. I almost forgot about the family next door.

Xue Miaoyun came to the inner room and took out a photo from the drawer. It was the original owner's full-moon photo, and the thing hanging around her neck was the "keepal" .

[Ding ding, dear, your space key has been calculated in the background, please check it. 】

Xue Miaoyun checked it quickly, then looked at the photo again in surprise.

This token is the bug of her golden finger, and it is the key.

No way.

Xue Miaoyun quickly asked customer service.

[Beep, checking for you, please wait...]

[Ding ding, congratulations, it is indeed the key. 】

Congratulations, sister!

Xue Miaoyun, who didn't want to have any contact with the Song family, especially Song Zhuangguo, simply wanted to strangle the customer service representative on the other side.

What to do? Of course I have to take this thing back. But if the other party hides or throws away such a small thing, and then says it is lost, what should she do?

So we have to catch them off guard.

Xue Miaoyun once again felt that the people at the customer service were unreliable, and the golden finger was still incomplete.

After thinking about it, Xue Miaoyun decided to go to the village party secretary's house.

"...Seventh Grandpa, that is an engagement token. If it remains in the hands of the Song family, there will be no explanation if there is any trouble in the future. Moreover, it is the only thought my mother left for me, and I must get it back. Such a long time has passed, and the Song family has not responded at all. Could it be that they want to covet my things? Is the engagement called off or not?" Xue Miaoyun wiped her tears, feeling aggrieved and dissatisfied.

Xue Chongshan was also angry. What was wrong with the Song family? It had been so long and they still hadn’t returned the token. Did they want to use it to threaten Miaoyun in the future?

"I will talk to the Song family about this and ask them to return the things as soon as possible." Xue Chongshan promised.

"Thank you, Grandpa Qi." This is the only thing we can do now. It is not convenient to travel far away now, and we need some proof. She can't go out whenever she wants.

Xue Miaoyun told Xue Chongshan that she thought it would be great if she could get it back, but if not, then Xue Chongshan would probably agree if she went to the army to get it back.

Xue Miaoyun asked the customer service again how the key could recognize its owner.

[…A drop of blood will make you recognize your master.] 】

[It’s that simple. If it recognizes the master, can it be resolved? 】

[No, dear.] 】

I knew it would be like this.

Xue Miaoyun was anxious. She didn't want to expose her own space, not to mention that the man was the original owner's ex-fiancé. It's maddening.

After waiting anxiously for more than a month, there was still no response from the Song family. Xue Miaoyun was extremely angry and went directly to the Song family to make a scene. When she found out that the things were still in Song Zhuangguo's hands, she finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"...You're going to look for Song Zhuangguo?" Xue Chongshan frowned. "You're going so far just to get that thing back."

"Seventh Grandpa, if you don't make a decision, you will suffer the consequences. I should actually go there in person. We are engaged, and we should talk it out face to face if we want to cancel the engagement." No wonder, if she had no other choice, she would not bother to care about anyone in the Song family.

Xue Chongshan looked at Xue Miaoyun carefully and made sure that she did not have any lingering feelings for Song Zhuangguo.

"Okay, if you insist on going, then go ahead. I'll give you a certificate."

"Thank you, Grandpa Qi."
