It is said that the house Zhong Wanwan is currently living in was originally where the landlord Mi family hid their things.
The Mi family has been a large landowner for many years, with their main businesses in Harbin. Anxian County is where the Mi family started their business, and they go there every year because they can't forget their roots!
Not only do people return, but the gold and silver treasures earned abroad are also regularly transported back.
After the situation became tense, the entire Mi family secretly fled.
Some say they went to the U.S., others say to Hong Kong; nobody knows for sure where they went.
Later, the Red Armbands dug up the Mi family's land from top to bottom, even digging up their ancestral graves, but they only found some odds and ends.
They didn't see any of the wealth accumulated by the Mi family over generations.
Although I was unwilling to accept the red armband, I couldn't find one, so this was the only option!
…………
When Zhong Wanwan brought down the chainsaw, it started flying wood chips, but within half a minute, silver metallic dust was flying out with a crackling sound.
Zhong Wanwan quickly turned off the chainsaw and began to examine the texture of the dead tree, looking for any mechanisms.
Are you kidding me? Who's ever heard of a tree producing silver? There's clearly something else in here!
After groping around for a long time, and even getting three splinters stuck in her hand, Zhong Wanwan still couldn't find anything that looked like a switch!
Zhong Wanwan couldn't help but admire the person who hid the things; the mechanism was so well-made that it was impossible for an ordinary person to find it!
However, this was no problem for Zhong Wanwan. She planned to saw it little by little and eventually find the hidden thing!
And so, Zhong Wanwan sawed the wood down from the root end, in 20-centimeter sections.
When she sawed the third section, Zhong Wanwan finally saw the inner layer.
Zhong Wanwan quickly took everything out of the box. Inside were nine large boxes filled with neatly arranged silver ingots, and a small box containing a jumble of old-fashioned gilded silver jewelry.
A silver ingot was 50 taels in size, which is equivalent to 1800 grams in modern terms.
Each box contains 100 pieces, totaling 200 kilograms of silver. There are a total of 9 boxes, which amount to 1620 kilograms of silver.
While these items may seem valuable, each one individually isn't particularly expensive.
You might say it's not valuable, but the quantity is huge! That's 900 silver ingots, each worth 50 taels!
When Zhong Wanwan saw these things, she had a guess in her mind that these were probably things left behind by the Mi family!
Looking at these boxes of silver ingots, Zhong Wanwan could imagine the mindset of the Mi family before they ran away. How speechless they must have been!
Their ancestors knew to save up gold, just in case something happened and it was valuable and easy to take!
Who would have thought that the Mi family ancestors had saved up 50 taels of silver ingots? How could they possibly take that with them?
Leaving it at home is not an option, as it represents the savings of several generations, and it's too heavy to carry around.
We're about to leave, and we still have to figure out how to hide them. This is just adding to the chaos!
However, Zhong Wanwan didn't mind that these things were heavy, and she put them all into her space!
That's a 50-tael silver ingot! In modern times, one of those would sell for over ten thousand!
Thank goodness for that heartless green tea bitch, she's practically a goddess of fortune! As long as you follow her lead, your wealth will snowball!
Zhong Wanwan spent a lot of time searching for something inside the dead tree.
Seeing that it was getting late, Zhong Wanwan didn't linger any longer.
I won't saw the wood anymore; I'll store it in my storage space first. I can saw it again when I need wood for heating the kang (a traditional heated bed)!
She had to hurry back, otherwise she would miss the spectacular scene of dividing the wild boar meat!
Zhong Wanwan returned at just the right time. As soon as she arrived at the rice-drying ground, the wild boar had just been skinned, and everyone was lining up to get their share of the meat!
Upon seeing that it was Zhong Wanwan, the aunties and grandmas greeted her warmly:
"Zhong, the educated youth, is here! Hurry up and get to the front of the line! We're able to eat wild boar meat today thanks to Zhong, the educated youth!"
