Zhilan was raised in the palm of their hands. She was the darling of the whole family.
Even though she insisted on marrying a soldier with nothing, they were worried, but after some investigation, they found that Qin Zhen was indeed a good person, so they reluctantly agreed to the marriage.
Anyway, their family is rich, so they don’t have to worry about not being able to give their daughter a good life.
But they never imagined that their daughter would walk ahead of them.
Now seeing that Qin Zhen still has such deep feelings for Zhilan, they feel somewhat comforted.
When Qin An Ning and the others came back in the evening, everyone in the family had already calmed down and there was no sign of anything unusual on the surface.
After dinner, Qin Zhen prepared to return to the army.
After Pan Feng sent him there, Qin Zhen asked Pan Feng to go back first, so Qin Anning and Lu Cheng also had to go with him.
"Wait a moment." Grandpa said and motioned Cheng Shuqing to go outside and check again.
Qin Anning smiled and joked, "Grandpa, you're being so mysterious. What earth-shattering secret are you going to tell me?"
Grandpa glanced at me with a smile and said casually, "That's about right!"
This really piqued Qin Anning's interest. Her beautiful peach blossom eyes were filled with curiosity. She deliberately raised her voice so that everyone present could hear her and said, "What secret is it, Grandpa? Tell me in secret!"
Seeing this, Grandpa cooperated and leaned close to her ear, but replied in a normal voice, "You'll know in a moment!"
Qin An Ning pretended to be angry and pouted, and everyone else in the room was amused by the interaction between the grandparents and grandchildren.
After Cheng Shuqing came back, he locked the door again from the inside. Grandpa then slowly stood up and led everyone to the basement.
The basement had been renovated and looked brand new, but it was empty inside. There was nothing in it except a light bulb hanging from the ceiling that emitted a dim light.
Grandpa stood in front of everyone and said seriously, "You all know that our ancestors were capitalists.
Although he did donate most of his property before, everyone is selfish. How could he not consider his descendants at all?
Before the incident, I had already hidden some important things.
Taking advantage of this opportunity to renovate the house, I've given out a portion of it. Ningning, take your share and keep it safe for yourself."
Qin Anning wanted to say she didn't want it, but she was afraid that her grandfather would be unhappy, so she changed her words and said, "Grandpa, since you hid the things so well that no one else can find them, why are you in such a hurry to take them out? Can't you just put them together?"
She didn't believe that no one had thought of treasure hunting after her grandfather's property was confiscated. Those people would dig deep into the ground for treasure.
But the things my grandpa hid were not found at all. You can imagine how well he hid them.
"It's precisely because they are hidden so secretly that I will take this opportunity to take them out and share them with you." This will prevent the child from finding a place to take them away and giving them to others if something happens to him.
Grandpa bent down and fiddled with the base of a wall for a few times. Then, one of the walls made a very slight noise.
Grandpa walked forward and pushed hard, and saw an invisible door that was exactly the same as the wall slowly opened.
The door was not wide, just enough for one person to pass through. It was pitch black inside, and my grandfather walked carefully in front with a flashlight to lead the way.
After walking down the stairs for about ten steps, they reached the flat ground. Grandpa lit the kerosene lamp inside, and only then did Qin An Ning finally see clearly what was placed in this small room.
There were more than a dozen boxes placed in the middle of the ground, arranged neatly, each box was about 50 centimeters square.
Grandpa slowly approached the boxes and opened them one by one. The boxes were filled with gold bars, and there were also three boxes of dazzling jewels.
Grandpa looked at the treasure in front of him, took a deep breath and said, "This contains all the belongings of our Cheng family.
I divided them into four parts. The eldest brother, the second brother and Ningning, each of your families can take one part. The remaining part will be left for me and my wife to use for our old age, and I will divide it among you after we are a hundred years old.
There are 15 boxes of gold bars here. Each of your three families can get four boxes, and each family can get one box of jewelry.
As for the remaining three boxes of gold bars, I and I will keep them."
Hearing this, Cheng Yi said in disapproval, "Dad! I can't agree with you doing this! You and Mom are still very healthy, why are you in such a hurry to divide the family property?
The previous properties were fine, after all, they were all in the open and the targets were too obvious, but other people didn’t know about these things.
Besides, my elder brother and his wife are not here right now, so your decision is not very appropriate!"
Even if it really comes to the point of dividing the family, everyone should be present.
Grandpa waved his hand to stop him and said, "I know you are both filial children, so there is nothing wrong with breaking up now.
You all know the temperament of the eldest brother's family. They are passionate about scientific research and don't care about these material things at all, so they won't think I am biased just because I am not here.
I still say the same thing, it is better to be prepared than to worry about anything. If something unexpected really happens one day, it is better to save as much as possible.
I believe in your character. If something really happens to any of your family, you will definitely not stand idly by, so no one is allowed to say anything more.
Ningning takes her share, and you guys hide yours. I'll keep the old family's for now."
Grandpa was firm in his attitude, so Qin An Ning couldn't refuse any more. "I can take the gold bars, but I'll give the jewelry to grandma on behalf of my mother. If grandma doesn't want them, I don't want the gold bars either."
She doesn't need those things at all. After a few years of reform and opening up, she can wear these jewelries.
Grandma used to be a delicate and particular old lady, and she didn't want her to be without even a decent piece of jewelry in her old age.
And as a woman, you always have to have some treasures hidden in your heart.
Hearing Qin An Ning say this, Shu Ran and Cheng Yi looked at each other and wanted to give up the box of jewelry.
Grandma was the first to speak up and stop them, "Xiaoran, just keep your box. Otherwise, when you meet your two daughters-in-law in the future, you won't be able to take out anything presentable. What will that look like?"
As for Ningning's box, she would keep it for Ningning for the time being. Otherwise, with the child's stubborn temper, she really would not accept those gold bars.
Taking advantage of the night, several people helped to move the gold bars into the car, and Qin Anning and others also returned to the army.
On the way, she put the things directly into the space. Although Qin Zhen had entered the space before, he was still extremely surprised by this phenomenon.
Thinking of his father-in-law's behavior today, he still asked with some concern, "Is your grandparents healthy?"
