“Going back to the old house? What does she mean? I don’t know what the situation is now. Isn’t she afraid of the negative impact? Besides, the team will definitely say that the house is rented out. What does it mean that she wants to move in?”

Grandpa, is there anything in our old house that she still cares about? Or did she hide something in the house back then? Or did my grandma and great-grandma hide something that she saw?

Gu Hanting thought for a moment and shook his head. "She's hiding something? That's unlikely. She just arrived at our house and doesn't trust anyone. It's impossible for her to hide something here."

Besides, it's not safe with so many people coming and going. I remember when she came, she was carrying a bundle. Your great-grandfather had already dealt with her father's property and converted it into real estate. Later, when she grew up, he taught her how to keep it herself.

As for your grandmother and great-grandmother, they probably only have jewelry and pocket money at most. They wouldn't hide things around the house, would they?

Ma Liu seemed quite interested in the topic. "Girl, why don't we go back and look for it? Maybe those people didn't find it back then, and we'll snag it."

Jiang Qiao smiled and said, "I think it's a good idea, Grandpa. Why don't you go back and take a look too?"

Gu Zhihong spoke up from the side, "Grandpa, you go ahead. I'll stay here and watch the livestock. Maybe you'll find something."

Gu Hanting had absolutely no hope for this. It was his own family; how could he not know it well?

To be honest, Jiang Qiao had roughly looked through those rooms. Apart from some old furniture, they were filled with all sorts of odds and ends. However, she hadn't touched any of these things. Officially, they were confiscated and kept by the team. There were even ledgers. If she lost them, it would be difficult to explain if someone tried to dig up the secrets.

However, on the way, Ma Liu said something like, "I think we should just buy this house. Girl, I'll transfer my household registration here and I'll look after the house for you."

Not to mention Jiang Qiao, even Gu Hanting was taken aback. "Buy?"

In the old man's mind, the house belonged to the Gu family, so there was no question of buying or selling it. However, Ma Liu's words reminded him that Jiang Qiao and the others were only renting it for the time being. What if someone wanted to buy it in the future?

Jiang Qiao had previously shared the same idea as Gu Hanting: even if her grandfather didn't live in their old family house, it was still their family's old house. However, Ma Liu's words really reminded her that everything is subject to change. She was afraid that if something unexpected happened in the future, it would be better to act now and deal with the future later.

"Grandpa, what do you think?"

Gu Hanting put his hands behind his back and sighed, "What your sixth grandfather said isn't without reason. I just feel a bit wronged. It's our own house, and we have to pay for it ourselves. It just doesn't make sense."

Ma Liu didn't think it was a big deal. "Old Gu, you're just being stubborn. Spend a little money to rightfully take the house back. What's the big deal? It's still the Gu family's house. I'll just be living here temporarily. In the future, your children and grandchildren will inherit it. At least when the children come back and move in, it will be more legitimate. Girl, if you don't have any objections, I'll go talk to Old Jiang later."

Spending a few dollars is no big deal for Jiang Qiao. She can just sell some meat from her spatial storage and she'll have everything she needs. Besides, she's planning to go out for a trip and has some things to take care of.

“I think it’s fine, Grandpa. It’s settled then. Compared to being legitimate, money is nothing. If we lose it, we can earn it back. But we can’t do that with the house. What if someone interferes? We’ll regret it later.”

Gu Hanting nodded with a somewhat heavy expression. "Alright, Liu Zi, you go and handle this. The sooner you buy it, the better. Girl, you can give your grandpa Liu Zi the money later."

Ma Liu chuckled, "Qiao'er, you'll come with me then."

Upon arriving at the old house, the group divided up the tasks. Gu Hanting simply smiled and responded with a few words. How could he not know his own parents? If the old lady had something, why would she hide it? It was all kept at home.

Besides, he's still alive, and he doesn't have the habit of hiding things, much less so his wife.

The group of people were making a lot of noise and banging around, so Jiang Qiao went straight to the rooms where they stored things.

To be honest, Jiang Qiao didn't have much hope. The place had probably been searched many times before theirs, so what could possibly be left?

Look at those old pieces of furniture. Jiang Qiao really likes them. They're all made of good wood. It's just that some people don't know their value and prefer real gold and silver. The furniture inside is much more valuable than real gold and silver. I guess Jiang Xiuqi knows the value of these things, which is why he doesn't want them to be divided up.

Jiang Qiao looked at each item with appreciation and touched them one by one. However, luck is unpredictable. Even someone like her, who didn't intend to look for anything, still managed to discover a strange place: the bed frame of the canopy bed.

Normally, this bed box is completely closed, but Jiang Qiao found a mechanism at the bottom. It was very inconspicuous, and someone who didn't know its details would think it was just a bump. He took out a silver needle and probed inside. The flap inside the bed box popped open, and a small box fell out from inside. Then the flap popped open again, and the bed box returned to its original state.

Jiang Qiao opened the box and looked inside. It contained some gold, jewelry, and a letter.

Jiang Qiao opened the letter and saw that it was a letter from her great-grandmother to her daughter.

Seeing the contents of the letter, Jiang Qiao couldn't help but feel a little sad. This was what parents were like. The things inside were the life-saving money that her great-grandmother and parents left for their daughter, just in case her daughter had a hard time in the future.

Jiang Qiao put the items back in the box and continued searching, but found nothing else with the furniture.

I walked around the house but didn't find any holes or anything like that. I figured that if my great-grandfather had anything, he would definitely tell his son.

She just didn't understand how Dong Chunxiao knew there were other things in the room.

Just as Gu Hanting said, there's really no place to hide things outside. If the father and son had that kind of time, they would have made money from money long ago. Why would they hide things in the yard? Do they have nothing better to do?

"Grandpa, I found something here, come and take a look—"

As soon as Jiang Qiao spoke, the people searching for the item immediately stopped what they were doing and all looked at what Jiang Qiao was holding.

"Oh my god, it really exists! Haha, we have to thank Dong Chunxiao for this. Otherwise, who knows who would own it? It seems we really have to buy this house."

Ma Liu muttered to himself as he walked, and Gu Hanting was also surprised by the box in Jiang Qiao's hand. It looked so familiar. It seemed like his mother had a similar box in her dowry.
