Chapter 96 Where is my gold?

Wen Zhu pulled his mother back to his room.

After closing the doors and windows, he took out the things in the bag.

Jiang Qin was dumbfounded when she saw her daughter taking out small yellow croakers from her schoolbag.

"Girl, this, this, this is... small... yellow croaker? Where did you get so many?"

Jiang Qin's voice was almost lowered to the point of being inaudible. "Put it away quickly."

"I found it on the road."

Wen Zhu found a cloth bag and put the gold in it like he was putting carrots and potatoes in it, grabbing and throwing the gold away without being gentle at all because it was gold.

Jiang Qin was shocked. "Oh, ancestor, be careful, this is gold! Don't break it."

"It's just because it's gold and it won't break, so why should I be afraid?"

Jiang Qin felt that what her daughter said made sense, but she also felt that what they should worry about now was safety.

"Who could drop so much gold on the street? No one is targeting our family, they must have done it on purpose!"

Wen Zhu comforted her, "Don't worry, Mom. I took a walk outside to make sure no one is following us. We can't use the gold right now, so we shouldn't take it out for a while. We have to hide it first."

Jiang Qin agreed.

"But if someone loses their gold bars, won't they call the police?" Jiang Qin became worried again.

Wen Zhu thought for a moment, "Mom, who do you think would be running around with a bag of small yellow croaker? It must have come from some shady place. If it didn't come from some shady place, he wouldn't dare call the police."

When Jiang Qin heard her daughter say this, she felt it made sense and felt a little relieved.

The mother and daughter counted them and found there were ten in total!

A gold bar weighs about 100 grams, and the current price of gold is about 80 or 90 yuan per gram. Doesn't that mean 80,000 or 90,000 yuan?!

"Let's hide the things first. When your father comes back from the city, we can discuss what to do with them. Is that okay with you?"

Jiang Qin asked, holding a bag of heavy things, feeling a sense of unreality and her hands shaking slightly.

Wen Zhu nodded, "I'll listen to mom."

Now Wen Zhu lamented that it was inconvenient to have no space. He was afraid of being discovered when hiding something.

The heroines who traveled through books or were reborn all had space. But she just thought about it. After all, she was cannon fodder, so how could she get the treatment of a heroine?

Seeing the comments might be a blessing from Master's good fortune. One should not be too greedy; one should be content. I'll give Master more food tomorrow!

"Then where to hide it?" Wen Zhu asked. Jiang Qin thought for a while, then leaned over to Wen Zhu's ear and whispered a few words.

Wen Zhu was full of admiration, "Mom, most people wouldn't expect you to be this good. You're worthy of being my mom!"

After hiding the things, the mother and daughter whispered a few words and went to sleep.

Xu Niannian, who had helped the man to an abandoned old factory with great effort, was sweating profusely and felt like he was about to collapse from exhaustion.

But she didn't feel tired at all, after all, she was paid.

This person said that he would give a large sum of money as a thank you. Although she didn't know how much, looking at his appearance, he was injured and didn't dare to speak out. It must be a shady business.

If that's the case, he still has to rely on me to save him. I guess he wouldn't dare to lie to me. The reward won't be low.

She handed the steamed bread in her bag to the man.

Then he asked casually, "I also got you to a safe place and gave you food. Do you have to pay me for it?"

The man was wounded in the stomach, covering his hands with his hands, and his body was covered in blood. Fortunately, it was dark, otherwise Xu Niannian would probably have collapsed in fear.

He leaned weakly against the wall, the scars on his face hidden in the darkness. He tried to speak softly to sound less ferocious, "Little girl, I don't have any money with me. Bring me some medicine tomorrow, and I'll definitely pay you well."

"What if you die? All my work will be in vain." Xu Niannian complained in a low voice.

She had gone to great lengths to get the man over, only for him to say he'd pay her later. How was that any different from a scam? She felt indignant, and then she realized that if she angered him, not only would she lose the money, she'd also be in danger. So she quickly changed her tone.

"Actually, I'm not afraid that you won't pay me. It's mainly because I'm a student and I really don't have the money to buy medicine."

The seriously injured man thought for a moment and told her the address where he hid the money.

"You'd better not think of taking all the money for yourself. I will give you what you deserve. If you dare to have any evil thoughts, I will kill you with my life."

As he spoke, he put the gun in his hand against Xu Niannian's forehead.

Xu Niannian was so scared that she wanted to scream, but she was so scared that she held it back.

"I promise I won't keep it for myself. You, you, you take this thing away first!"

The man also held on with all his might, and took the gun away from his hand, letting it hang weakly on the ground.

The man waved at Xu Niannian, and Xu Niannian moved closer.

"Things, I hid in..."

Xu Niannian's eyes lit up and she nodded frequently.

She left the abandoned factory area and went in the direction the man pointed.

My heart is filled with joy.

She wasn't stupid, so how could she possibly return the money to him? That person probably thought she was mentally ill.

She felt that this was her fate, that these things were meant to be hers. Otherwise, why did Wen Zhu die before her, but she was the only one who met this injured person?

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that this was the case.

So I feel more at ease.

He was covered in blood, so he must be a desperado. Who knew where all this money came from? He looked so weak, and he might die tomorrow. There was no need to worry about him revealing any information.

Xu Niannian found the abandoned house on South Street.

Sure enough, she saw a pile of rubble at the bottom of the stairs, and her hands were shaking with excitement.

His eyes were full of brilliance.

I quickly ran over, knelt on the ground and dug out the stones. After a few tries, I found the biscuit box that the man mentioned.

She opened the box and pulled out a bag. It was heavy and made a clanging sound. Could it be gold?!

Joy rushed into her brain, and for a moment she was enveloped by indescribable ecstasy, and she felt so happy that she seemed to be floating.

She took the entire sack away, then thought about it and buried the biscuit box back.

Then she happily put it in her schoolbag and went back to her aunt's house.

She was naturally scolded for knocking on the door so late, but she didn't care because she had an unexpected gain today. After she cashed in these things, she would move out and rent a place on her own. No more having to worry about people's faces!

Xu Niannian thought her good days were coming soon, and even her aunt's scolding didn't bother her. She lived in the utility room, on a bed propped up with wooden planks. There was no light.

So after her aunt went back to sleep, she quietly took out a hard object and looked at it.

It was pitch black and she couldn't see a thing, and she didn't dare turn on the light.

Just thinking that gold is said to be bitten, I bit it with my teeth.

My teeth felt numb and a pain shot straight to the top of my head.

She was about to cry.

Who said you could chew gold? It turns out not everything the teacher said was true! So I stuffed it back into the bag, hugged the bag, and fell asleep.

It was not until the next morning that she got up earlier than anyone else in her aunt's family and used the daylight to see clearly what she had been holding all night.

"Why is it a stone? Where are my things?!"

A scream woke up the whole family.
