Chapter 235: The Qiu Family’s Generous Move
Lin Siqiao couldn't refuse lunch, so he had to go with Qiu Ya to a street in the southeast corner of Pudong Park.
It took Lin Siqiao a long time to react until she was brought to a "big mansion" with white walls and black tiles.
She always thought that since something like this had happened to the Qiu family, Aunt Qiu's life would not be much better even if she had not been demoted.
Unexpectedly...
As an old Shanghainese, Lin Siqiao naturally knew that the house in front of him was a characteristic Shanghai dwelling - the twisted circle house.
The houses inside are called twisted circle houses, which have rooms on all four sides. They are a type of residential building that is derived from the traditional courtyard house and has Shanghai local characteristics.
"Come in quickly."
Qiu Ya opened the door and led Lin Siqiao in while introducing them.
The house has two entrances and there are 20 rooms in total, large and small.
Including the open space in front, behind, left and right, the total area of this land is more than 1,800 square meters.
Seeing the confusion in Lin Siqiao's eyes, Qiu Ya gave a brief explanation during the meal.
This house was given to her by Mr. Qiu when she was ten years old, and the title deed was already in her name.
When the Qiu family encountered trouble, Qiu Ya, as a married woman, had already been married for many years.
Even if they wanted to put the blame on her, it would be difficult for them to do so. Moreover, at the request of Qiu's father, she had already published an announcement in the newspaper to sever ties with the Qiu family.
Of course, I am also fortunate that this house is in Pudong. If it was in Puxi, I am afraid that group of people would have wanted to snatch it away long ago.
Lin Siqiao nodded after listening to this. With this house, it would not be difficult for the Qiu family to turn things around in the future.
What she didn't know was that the Qiu family owned several more houses like this.
These old houses were accumulated by the ancestors of the Qiu family and have all been made public.
Although most of them have been requisitioned by the state, the land deeds and other items are still well preserved.
After lunch, Qiu Ya asked Lin Siqiao to wait for a while. After a while, she came out dragging a large suitcase.
"Let's go. I'll take you there."
Lin Siqiao knew that it was useless for him to refuse. Seeing that Qiu Ya was having a hard time dragging the things, Lin Siqiao stepped forward to help.
She said, why does Aunt Qiu look so painful and exhausted, what is in the bag, why is it so heavy!
The two men stopped as they walked, and by the time they reached the Lujiazui ferry, their palms were red from being strangled.
Just as the rolling shutter door was closing, Qiu Ya suddenly pushed the luggage bag onto the boat.
"Go ahead, and be careful on the road."
Qiu Ya waved her hand and said, "This is what my elder brother specifically told me to do. You must remember to keep the things well."
After saying that, she left without looking back.
“…”
Lin Siqiao knew that the Qiu family had gone through so much trouble, probably to express their feelings.
It’s just that Aunt Qiu didn’t say it just now, and Lin Siqiao was embarrassed to ask her.
She can't say, is this for me?
What if it's not the case? Wouldn't it be awkward if she asked that?
The ferry's rolling shutter had already been lowered, and Lin Siqiao had no choice but to use it.
She looked down and saw that the outside of the luggage bag was sewn with large nylon ropes. The things inside felt like long strips and she had no idea what they were.
Qiu Ya knew about it, but she said nothing. To be honest, she was also surprised when she saw the five-pointed star on the map.
Because a long time ago, Qiu's father handed all his private assets to her.
She was asked to use part of it to accommodate the employees and put the rest aside for now.
If there is a need in the future, he will arrange for someone to come.
The token is Qiu Mingze's painting. Different symbols are marked on it, representing different things, and the five-pointed star represents the highest level.
These things originally belonged to Mr. Qiu, and it was his freedom to give them to whomever he wanted.
As a member of a large family, Qiu Ya unconditionally supports her elder brother in this matter.
As if she had thought of something, Qiu Ya returned to the ferry again.
My eldest brother is such a kind person. I think he doesn’t want to implicate others because of his own affairs.
Qiu Ya leaned over and whispered through the rolling shutter.
"These are all for you. Please don't send them to Big Brother."
"Otherwise you will not only hurt him, but you will also hurt yourself."
"As long as they are healthy, don't have too much contact with them, got it?"
Lin Siqiao felt inexplicably heavy after hearing this, not only because of the weight of the luggage, but also because she saw the concern in the other person's eyes.
"Aunt Qiu, I understand."
It was already past one in the afternoon when they reached the other side of the river. Lin Siqiao found a secluded path and went into the space.
This thing is really too heavy. If she wants to carry it back to the Lu family’s old house, her hands will probably be broken.
And Lin Siqiao was really curious about what was inside.
I don’t know if the nylon rope on it was specially customized, but it took Lin Siqiao half a day to unpack the luggage bag.
Surprisingly, there were neatly arranged "soaps" inside!
Lin Siqiao picked up a piece. Why did he say "lift"? Because it was really no different from a brick, and it even felt heavier.
After using a knife to scrape off a part of the soap, the true appearance inside was revealed.
Lin Siqiao considered himself a wealthy man, and he also knew that the gratitude of rich people was so 'simple and unpretentious'!
But this was the first time she had seen someone giving gold as a gift just because of a disagreement, and in such a generous manner.
Lin Siqiao sighed and counted these 'golden soaps'.
There were 100 yuan in the bag. She didn't weigh the exact weight, but it was very heavy.
After calming down, Lin Siqiao returned to the old house with mixed feelings.
As soon as I entered the living room, I saw several large bags of things, all of which were prepared by Lu's mother.
And it’s the kind that can’t be refused.
Because Lu's mother had asked for half a day off in advance and planned to send the person to the dock personally.
At 5:30 in the afternoon, Grandpa Lu's guard drove Mother Lu and Lin Siqiao to the No. 16 Wharf.
Not long after they got off the car, Wang Xiaofei arrived with her two children.
"elder sister"
Hearing the voices of the two little guys, Lin Siqiao turned around and half squatted down with his arms outstretched.
The two of them ran very fast, came up, one on the left and one on the right, hugged Lin Siqiao's neck tightly, and their cold little faces also came close to her.
Lin Siqiao couldn't help but shudder all over, then he touched both of their heads.
"Wait for sister"
Lin Siqiao was just about to introduce his uncle and aunt to each other, but when he looked up, he only saw his aunt.
