Qin Xiaoxiao's eyes flickered slightly as she looked at Aunt Song's expression.

There's a story behind it!

No rush, we'll find out when we have the chance to ask Aunt Liu.

Having received news about the Mai family, Qin Xiaoxiao was still quite satisfied even though she hadn't seen Mai Sui's face. She chatted with Aunt Song for a bit more before leaving.

Back at the Qin family home, Ma Dahua had already set the table. Seeing that Qin Xiaoxiao had arrived so late, she couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? Why are you so late today? Did something happen?"

Qin Xiaoxiao smiled and shook her head, "No, I just chatted with Aunt Song for a bit longer, that's why it's late. Don't wait for me next time, you guys eat first."

Ma Dahua smiled as she took Qin Xiaoxiao's small handbag and put it aside. "I didn't wait for you. We ate late today too."

Qin Xiaoxiao didn't believe this at all. She knew that even if she didn't come to eat, Ma Dahua would stay a little longer. Su Yun had secretly told her this after she married into the family. At that time, Su Yun was amazed that Ma Dahua and the other members of the Qin family were really too good to Qin Xiaoxiao. Even if they didn't come, they would save some of the good food for Qin Xiaoxiao.

Grandma Qin's gaze followed Qin Xiaoxiao's movements. "What happened?"

Qin Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and shook her head, "It's nothing serious, just asking about the Mai family."

Upon hearing this, Old Mrs. Qin immediately showed a disdainful look, "You should stay away from that family. None of them are good people, and they'll corrupt you."

Qin Xiaoxiao blinked, looking at Old Mrs. Qin with a puzzled expression, "Is her family really that bad?"

Grandma Qin pursed her lips, "There's nothing seriously wrong with her, except that she's extremely sexist and stupid. She can't even have a son, and she doesn't know how to treat her daughters well. I'm afraid she'll have no one to take care of her when she gets old!"

Old Mrs. Qin's expression changed from disdain to disgust, clearly showing that she looked down on the Mai family.

Grandma Qin continued, "The Mai family's daughters are also destined to be poor. Their parents treat them so badly, yet they don't know how to resist. They even agree with their father's actions and are extremely kind to the children of Second Uncle's family."

"Heh, what goes around comes around. I've seen through it all. These kids are going to suffer a lot later on. Just wait and see, they're all destined to be sold sooner or later."

Qin Xiaoxiao didn't ask any further. Judging from Qin's grandmother's expression, she obviously didn't want to mention the Mai family anymore. How could she, being so filial, make Qin's grandmother feel uncomfortable?

In the afternoon, Qin Xiaoxiao, Aunt Song, and Aunt Liu did not go to work. They had finished their work and could rest today. The whole village was envious of the three of them taking a break, but when they thought about the grain at the end of the year, they all worried about the three of them.

Without work points, there will be no grain at the end of the year, and you might even have to pay extra. They really have money to burn.

Qin Xiaoxiao spent the afternoon rummaging through her supplies in her spatial storage. She had almost finished organizing them last time, but there were still a lot of miscellaneous items left. Qin Xiaoxiao put aside the things she could use and finally organized the books in her spatial storage.

As she flipped through the books, Qin Xiaoxiao pulled out a book with a cardboard box as its outer packaging. She looked at it with suspicion, feeling that it looked familiar. When she opened it, she was immediately stunned.

Holy shit! I'm rich!

She remembered that the last time she went to the county town's scrap yard to hunt for treasures with Su Lu, she found a stamp album there. She didn't have time to look at it at the time, so she just tossed it aside. When she got back, she was so focused on taking apart tables and chairs to find treasures that she forgot about it.

Qin Xiaoxiao's eyes were glued to the page after she turned just one page, her mouth watering as she looked at the three stamps in a row.

What did she see? Did she see a stamp?

Bah! That's called money! That's called wealth! That's called class! That's called civilization! That's called heritage!

Qin Xiaoxiao was speechless with emotion at that moment. She was excited about the prospect of becoming rich, but even more so, she was terrified.

Does she deserve to have this?

She doesn't deserve it!

But she really couldn't bear to hand it over.

On the first page of the stamp album, three stamps featuring Chinese dragons are arranged side by side, occupying the very center of the page, with numerous annotations below them.

The text reads: "China's first stamp, known as the Large Dragon stamp, was issued in 1878 by the late Qing government's customs department. There were three stamps in total, with face values ​​of 1 fen, 3 fen, and 5 fen, and colors of green, red, and orange."

Green stamps are generally used for printed matter, red stamps for ordinary letters, and orange stamps for registration.

Looking at the handwriting, it is vigorous and powerful, penetrating the paper. The font is regular script, and the characters are neat and tidy. Just by looking at the handwriting, you can tell that the person is cultured and has a certain level of calligraphy skills.

Qin Xiaoxiao swallowed again, carefully put on the gloves, gently touched them, took them off, and put them in a box for safekeeping.

These gloves are valuable now, after all, they were the gloves that touched China's first postage stamp, and no other gloves can compare.

Qin Xiaoxiao was already looking forward to it. If the first stamp was so valuable, what about the ones that followed? Would there be something like a sea of ​​red?

Seeing how thick the stamp album was, Qin Xiaoxiao became even more excited.

Flipping further, each stamp has its name and release date, some even include historical information, and some are complete sets, folded in half and covered with transparent gauze when a book can't hold them all.

Looking at the thin gauze again, Qin Xiaoxiao felt that it was beyond her means to buy. It was too thin, like paper, and its transparency was so high that it was similar to the plastic film that would be used in the future.

Qin Xiaoxiao was even more careful when she flipped through the pages. As she flipped through them, her eyes lit up and her hands trembled as she did so.

Holy crap! Who was this visionary? Was the owner of this stamp album a time traveler? Otherwise, why would they buy so many stamps?

Upon closer inspection, Qin Xiaoxiao noticed something was amiss. Three large, intact sheets of red stamps were stacked together and placed on the last page of the stamp album. They weren't in very good condition and were just tucked inside, as if they weren't valued by their owner.

Qin Xiaoxiao pouted, "You made such a big book, but it's not as valuable as the last three pages, and you don't even like it. You could have at least made some gauze or something! Why just leave it like this?"

Qin Xiaoxiao guessed that the owner of the stamp album did not know that it was a misprinted "One Red" stamp. He thought it was a normal stamp and did not pay attention to it. He just put it in there. But unexpectedly, something happened in his family and the stamp album was thrown into the recycling station as garbage.

Although there are many female protagonists in this world, the first female protagonist to arrive in this county is Miao Feifei. After arriving here, she was suppressed by the Qin family. She never thought of going to the scrap yard to find treasures. The key is that Miao Feifei is a native and does not know the treasures in the scrap yard, nor does she know that this piece of red will be so valuable in the future. Otherwise, she would have come to rob it long ago.

Qin Xiaoxiao carefully stored the stamp album in her spatial storage. After checking for a while and finding it still intact, she felt relieved.
