The secret exit made me feel much more relaxed. What should I do if I really feel like I am the kind of person who doesn't deserve to have secrets?
"Oh, by the way, on the day our house was raided, after my fever subsided, didn't my aunt ask me to go back? On the way back, I took some of my father's private money."
Mao blurted out:
"Master's private property? How do you know?"
"Um, well, it's like this. One time, I accidentally saw him hiding money under the altar outside the ancestral hall. Then I thought, since we finally have a place to put things, I have to decorate it. And we are really poor. Since Dad has money, why not help us? Oh... luckily, I don't have to pay the money back now."
Xiang Ye couldn't help but freeze her lips, while Mao Shi was even more upset. She was really upset. Why did this old man like to dig holes everywhere to hide silver? And it actually fell into the hands of her own daughter. Uh, why do I feel so happy for no reason? No, no!
Wen Xi took out the two wooden boxes from the coffin.
Gu Shengmo saw something coming out of nowhere and was about to clap his hands, but Mao stopped him with a slap:
"Be quiet. Loud noises will attract others. Remember, you must never tell anyone that Sister will transform into something. Otherwise, Sister will be caught and run away."
Wen Xi also added fuel to the fire: "Well, grab my sister and burn her to death."
Gu Shengmo's idea of showing off by sharing honor and disgrace immediately died. He was so scared that tears came out and he shook his head like a rattle:
"I won't tell you, even if I die. Mo'er doesn't want my sister to be arrested, or to be burned."
"Pfft, pfft, what are you talking about, kid? Just remember it. Don't worry, I'm not that easy to catch."
Xiangye went out and borrowed Aunt Du's hatchet to help break the lock.
Then the four heads were stunned by what was inside. They all sighed in their hearts, Gu Yan is really rich!
Don't hesitate, count them!
A box of gold bars weighed seven or eight hundred taels. Converted into silver, that's seven or eight thousand taels. Oh my god!
The other one contained more than half a box of silver and neatly rolled up silver notes.
The silver wasn't much, just over five hundred taels. The notes were all one hundred taels each. There were forty-six of them, totaling four thousand six hundred taels.
The total amount of this pile is nearly 15,000 taels of silver.
Oh my god! Oh my god! I'm rich! I must be the richest kid in Kongshan Village!
In the eyes of a few poor people like us, this was wealth, but to Gu Yan, it was just an ordinary place among many hiding places for money. So when he confessed, he never thought that he actually had such a stronghold.
Then Wen Xi displayed all the things in the kitchen of Gu Mansion, except for the modern things, and even almost took out Zhao San's money.
Fortunately, I still had a little bit of rationality, but I didn't dare to take it out. It would be difficult to explain the matter. It's better to keep it for myself. It's only a little over a hundred taels of silver, which is nothing compared to Gu Yan's private money.
The onlookers didn't know what expression to give, and in the end, they felt a little numb.
Mao waved his hand:
"Okay, we've finished admiring it, so you can put it away quickly. Put this money away too. If you need it in the future, we'll talk about it. If not, you can keep it. We won't spend your money. After all, this is pocket money you and your father asked for."
Mao's final words took a detour, appearing a bit shameless. If Gu Yan were here, he would definitely ask her, "Where's your face?"
Keeping wealth within the coffin is indeed a much safer option. Wen Xi obediently put all the money inside.
As for those items, according to Mao, since they had just arrived and were staying in someone else's house, they should keep a low profile.
I just took out some of the snacks like malt sugar that I bought on the way.
With this fresh-keeping box, Xiangye asked Wenxi to put away the meat and other items that she bought yesterday that were not easy to store.
Looking at the bags of food stacked in the corner and the warm cotton mat beneath me, I have been looking forward to the days of having food to eat and a blanket to cover myself with for so long!
It's just missing a table. No, a table is a must.
"Mom, why don't we go to the village and ask who can do carpentry work so we can make a table or bench or something? This is too inconvenient!"
"Don't worry! You're the one who worries the most every day. Mom knows and is getting ready to go out."
"Mom, then take me with you. I want to go out for a walk too."
Gu Shengmo also jumped over and looked at Mao cutely without saying a word.
Mao smiled and said:
"Okay, let's go. Let's all go. Xiangye will go too. Let's all go."
Xiangye shook her head:
"Sister, you guys go, I don't want to go."
As a result, Mao came out with one person hanging up, but thinking that no one knew the family, he went back to ask Aunt Du.
When Aunt Du heard they were going to break the table, she said there was one in their row and she had nothing to do so she was willing to go with them.
