At exactly two o'clock in the afternoon, Professor Dong, along with Fifth Grandpa and his men, arrived at the eldest sister's courtyard and gently knocked on the door. The eldest sister quickly opened the door, apparently having been waiting for a long time. Then Professor Dong, Fifth Grandpa, and his two men followed them into the courtyard.
When the eldest sister saw the fifth grandfather, she was stunned, smiled and said, "It's you, benefactor."
Fifth Grandpa hadn't expected that the woman he'd just casually saved at the entrance of the department store would appear here. He nodded expressionlessly, treating it as a greeting.
Seeing this, the older sister hurried inside and poured a few glasses of water for the guests before returning to another room to retrieve something. Professor Dong and his companions sat quietly at the round table in the courtyard, waiting. Seeing that Professor Dong and Fifth Grandpa hadn't moved, the henchmen naturally didn't dare to move, remaining true to their roles as competent underlings.
In the end, no one entered the house to help the eldest sister move the items. After all, these were invaluable antiques, and if the slightest mistake led to their loss or damage, the consequences would be disastrous. Therefore, it was best for the eldest sister to move them out herself.
It must be said that this lady's house is filled with so many wonderful things! One of them, a dazzling and colorful painting, caught Professor Dong's attention. Although he appeared calm on the outside, inside, a thousand groundhogs were screaming.
"This...this...this!" Professor Dong was practically beside herself with excitement. Using all her might, she controlled herself, clinging to the scroll tightly, unwilling to let go. This was her dream painting! A masterpiece of this caliber was not something ordinary people could easily witness. She had to keep it safe and secure, and she couldn't let it fall into the wrong hands!
After recent professional training, Fifth Grandpa and his men have a deeper understanding of the concept of "national treasure." Antiques can be classified into different grades, one, two, three, and four, based on their rarity and historical value. They now have a basic understanding of this knowledge.
Because of this, when seeing his daughter-in-law trying hard to control herself from getting too excited, Grandpa Wu understood immediately: this is a "national treasure" level, and his daughter-in-law won't let go.
The eldest sister took out those old items, and after careful identification, they found that they were all authentic.
In reality, this mysterious elder sister is none other than Sun Mofei, the eldest daughter of the fourth branch of the Suzhou Sun family. To evade the covetousness of wealthy tycoons seeking the family fortune, while also avoiding becoming victims of political strife, the family patriarch, after obtaining everyone's consent, secretly escorted all his children to remote locations across the country. Distancing themselves from the turmoil and leaving behind roots for the family, Sun Mofei and her brother, Sun Moqing, disguised themselves as refugees, covered in gold bars, jewelry, and other valuables. Protected by their servants, they successfully escaped the city, never to return home.
Later, through the efforts of their men, a lot of antiques, money and other items were delivered from home in batches. Sun Mofei and her brother didn't want them, but the servants were only responsible for delivering them, and they had experienced countless difficulties and dangers. She couldn't be willful anymore and couldn't bring herself to say that they wanted to take them back.
Since leaving home, Sun Mofei has grown up overnight. She was already very mature, but now she seems to be even more sensible and more pitiful.
Over the years, except for the first few years after coming here, because his brothers and sisters were young and could not earn money and spent the family's money, Sun Moqing has never used the family's money since he grew up.
