Chapter 4: Take out the family property!
After saying goodbye to Uncle Wang, Su Su returned to her room to rest.
The next morning, she was the only one left in the Su family.
Su Su avoided the servants' sight and went directly to Zhao Guoxiang's room. According to Uncle Wang's description, she quickly found the entrance to the secret room in the closet.
In the past, wealthy families would dig a secret room in their homes to avoid war and hide their property. However, the secret room in the Su family's old house is now occupied by Zhao Guoxiang.
Su Su found a flashlight from the space and walked down the dark stairs carefully.
Soon, an open space appeared in front of me, with many large huanghuali boxes placed on it.
She opened several boxes in succession, and inside were a pile of golden "yellow croakers", each weighing 10 taels!
Su Su's mind moved, and she immediately put the box into the space.
After opening the other boxes one after another, Su Su couldn't help but gasp.
The Su family is indeed a famous capitalist in Shanghai.
Each box was filled with piles of copper and silver coins and various precious collectibles and jewellery, which were treasures that ordinary people would never see or imagine in their lifetime!
Jewelry includes imperial green jadeite, jade, agate, coral, oriental pearls, tortoise shell, tourmaline, turquoise...
Porcelain includes white porcelain, blue and white porcelain, enamel porcelain...
There were even a few boxes filled with priceless calligraphy and paintings by famous artists, Song Dynasty Jiaozi, Qing Dynasty dragon notes, and national government bonds...
These are the items that Mr. Su, who was born as a banker, likes to collect.
In the corner, there are various precious medicinal herbs piled up, including century-old ginseng, ganoderma lucidum, deer antler, cordyceps, saffron, pangolin shell...
Su Su put them all into the space without hesitation.
After clearing out everything in the secret room, the Su family's land deed was not found.
Is it hidden somewhere in the room?
After Su Su came out of the secret room, she looked around and found a lot of furs in the closet. Most of them looked familiar, as if they were left by Su's mother.
There are even more jewelry belonging to Su’s mother in the dressing table!
Mulan has always hated Su's mother in her heart, but she often unconsciously imitates Su's mother's dressing style.
What a shameless imitation!
Su Su sneered in her heart and directly put all the things belonging to her mother into the space.
I looked around but still couldn't find it.
Suddenly, Su Su had an idea, left the room, and turned to go to Zhao Guoxiang's study next door.
Many people usually put important things in the study, because it is not open to others and is the safest place.
There are all kinds of books on the bookshelves in the study, but they are all brand new, and some are even unopened.
There was a thick carpet in the middle of the room, and on it was a huanghuali wood desk, which looked very grand.
Su Su reached out and opened all the drawers of the desk.
really!
Inside one of the drawers was a thick layer of land deeds belonging to the Su family.
Most of the names written on it are Su Su's.
In this era, these things will undoubtedly be hot potatoes in a few years. Instead of Zhao Guoxiang selling them to others for profit, it is better to hand them over directly to the country.
In this way, she can not only get a certain amount of dividends every year, but also be praised for her ideological awareness when others tell others about it!
Su Su's lips curled slightly. Besides this, she also wanted to give Zhao Guoxiang a big gift!
Put all the deeds in your pocket.
Su Su went out and went straight to the city government to explain her purpose.
Upon hearing this, the staff member immediately reported to his superior, Director Zhou, and warmly invited Su Su into the office.
After Director Zhou learned about the situation, he found out that Su Su actually came from the Su family, one of the most prominent families in Shanghai. He felt that Su Su was indeed a descendant of the patriotic entrepreneur Mr. Su, and was very ideologically conscious!
Director Zhou hurriedly started the registration procedures and quickly brought back a contract.
"Just sign your name here!"
Su Su nodded and quickly signed under Director Zhou's expectant gaze.
"Very good!"
Director Zhou held the contract and praised enthusiastically:
"Thank you for supporting national development! You are worthy of being Mr. Su's granddaughter! You have vision and courage!"
"We will send someone to the Su family tomorrow to discuss the specific details of compensation and handover, and we will need your cooperation at that time."
After accepting the praise with a clear conscience, Su Su returned to the Su family under Director Zhou's farewell gaze.
After meeting Uncle Wang, she told him everything she had done, and then instructed him: "Uncle Wang, it's not safe to stay here for the next two days. You should leave the Su family tomorrow on the pretext of being unwell."
Uncle Wang was shocked after hearing this. After a long pause, he sighed, "Miss, I believe you must have your reasons for doing this."
"But what are you going to do next?"
Su Su smiled and said comfortingly: "I will leave here after this is over."
"But can you go out of town alone?"
Uncle Wang's face was filled with worry and anxiety. Nowadays, even a grown man is not safe outside, let alone someone as beautiful as the young lady!
It really makes people worry!
He suddenly thought of something and immediately said happily:
"Miss! You can go to Black City to find Qin Xutao!"
"I've seen that guy before. He's a good guy. I heard he's in the army. He'll definitely be able to protect you!"
"Besides, this marriage was originally arranged when your grandfather was still alive. The Su family has done his family a favor. If you go find him, he will definitely not dare to treat you unfairly!"
Su Su was stunned when the name Qin Xutao was suddenly mentioned.
The man’s hot breath that day instantly came to mind.
Uncle Wang didn't know yet that he had agreed to cancel the engagement.
But before he left that day, he told me that if I regretted it, I could go to Black City to find him...
He will be responsible.
No wonder his eyes were full of ridicule at the time, but he still left such a promise.
It turned out that the Su family had done his family a favor.
Su Su subconsciously touched the bracelet on her hand.
In the original book, the original owner didn't take his words to heart at all, and was only happy that she had finally broken off the engagement.
But later, after the original owner was hanged in the cowshed, his body rotted and became smelly, and other people were disgusted and dared not approach.
It was he who rushed from Black City once again after hearing the news, and buried the original owner's body together with her mother and grandfather without any disgust.
By that time he was already a famous figure...
No matter what, Su Su decided to leave Shanghai and go to Heicheng.
On the one hand, the Shanghai market will become increasingly unsafe, and her identity is not suitable for her to stay here any longer. On the other hand, Heicheng is relatively remote, and she will not attract too much attention.
On the other hand, since the favor has not been repaid, this man will definitely protect her. It is better than going to a completely unfamiliar place!
Besides, he was quite to her taste.
After making the decision, Su Su stopped worrying about it. After saying goodbye to Uncle Wang, she turned and went to the street.
Since she decided to go to Black City next, she needed to purchase a lot of things.
After all, you can't rely on others for help in everything!
I still have to prepare more!
