"Chengyuan, I was so nervous just now. We can't do this kind of thing again."
Back home, Yu Pingan finally felt completely at ease.
"Okay, I won't do it anymore," Yu Chengyuan replied with a smile.
"Did you find something?"
Yu Pingan asked.
While he was in Wang's room, he was so focused on listening to the sounds and staring at Wang that he didn't get a clear look at her.
All he knew was that his younger brother had found a small, square mahogany box, but he didn't know what was inside.
"Brother, look, I found a letter, a jade pendant, and five gold bars inside."
Yu Chengyuan didn't hide it from his elder brother; he placed the things he brought back face down on the table so his brother could see them for himself.
Yu Pingan stared at the five gleaming gold bars, unable to look away.
This was the first time he had ever seen real gold bars. So this is what they look like!
And that jade pendant, it's sky blue, with a particularly bright luster. The pendant is quite thick, and it's carved with a qilin.
Even if he didn't know much about jade, he could guess that this jade pendant was quite valuable, and it seemed to have been left to his father by his grandparents.
And that letter written in blood, how could it be a letter written in blood?
Did something bad happen to their grandparents?
Thinking of this, Yu Ping'an immediately frowned. What if that were really the case?
The father was extremely saddened when he found out.
"Chengyuan, this letter written in blood was written so hastily, do you think Grandpa and Grandma might already be..."
Yu Pingan couldn't help but ask.
"Brother, I don't know either, this is just our guess."
Perhaps they're alright, or perhaps they really were in danger. Hopefully, they'll escape unharmed.
"Chengyuan, if they are still alive, why haven't they looked for their father all these years?"
Yu Pingan expressed his incomprehension regarding this.
If it was due to special circumstances that the father was abandoned.
Shouldn't they have come looking for their father afterward?
Why haven't you come here in all these years?
"Brother, just because they haven't looked for their father doesn't mean they haven't tried."
Perhaps they didn't have any clues, which is why they didn't find it.
After all, Grandma Wang hid these things so well that no one in our village knew about them, so no one knew that Dad was actually adopted by them.
Yu Chengyuan guessed that Old Lady Wang didn't want anyone to know that Sanzhu wasn't her biological son.
"Chengyuan, what you said makes sense. It's very likely that they can't find their father."
The jade pendant has the character 'Zhu' carved on it. Could it be that my father's family name is Zhu?
"Very likely! That's what I think too."
Yu Chengyuan nodded.
"These gold bars were left to my father by my grandparents. I never imagined that my father was born into a wealthy family."
Grandma Wang hasn't told us this news, nor has she told my father. It seems even my third uncle doesn't know about it.
If my third uncle knew, he would have already exchanged these gold bars for money.
We never expected that Old Lady Wang had kept it so well hidden; none of us knew about it.
Do you think that if Grandma Wang discovers something is missing, she might suspect us?
Yu Pingan was a little worried, after all, there were so many good things!
The old lady is a miser by nature; she'd go crazy if she found out her things were gone.
"Don't worry, Grandma Wang won't find out so quickly, and even if she does, she won't dare to make a fuss."
Besides, she has no evidence, so even if she suspects us, it won't matter.
"That's good, that's good!"
"Then let's quickly call our parents and tell them!"
He thought these things should be kept by his father, since they were left to him by his grandparents.
Yu Chengyuan shook his head. "It's not the right time yet. If Dad knew that my brother and I went to Old Lady Wang's to steal this thing, he would definitely be angry."
"Yes, Father has always been an upright man, and I'm afraid he wouldn't allow us to do such petty theft."
"So what do you suggest we do with all this stuff?"
Yu Pingan asked, unsure of what to do.
"Brother, why don't you keep these things with you for now and keep them safe? Don't tell Father about them yet."
We'll take the things out when we have a clue and can find our grandparents so the whole family can be reunited.
Yu Chengyuan thought for a while and then said.
"No, no, no... Chengyuan, how can you leave such a valuable thing here with me?"
I'm a grown man, and I'm quite careless. What if I lose it?
You're more observant than me, so you should hide it.
Yu Pingan directly rejected his younger brother's suggestion.
"Alright, I'll leave it here, but you can't tell anyone about this."
Yu Chengyuan gave his brother some instructions.
"I know, your brother isn't stupid."
The two brothers then burst into laughter.
Hahaha………
"Brother, I want to go see my wife tomorrow, so you can go home first."
I haven't had time to see my wife these past two days, but I must see her and my daughter tomorrow.
"Okay, no problem."
I'm going home alone. You should spend more time with your younger brother and sister-in-law and my little niece.
Yu Pingan nodded.
Although he himself did not marry, he knew that his younger brother and sister-in-law had a very good relationship.
"By the way, my fourth cousin and second uncle will be delivering vegetables to the county town with us tomorrow."
You can all come back together then.
Yu Chengyuan said with a smile.
"Okay, I have company too."
Cheng Yuan, my fourth cousin, was such a good person. It's such a pity.
"If only his leg could be healed."
Yu Pingan sighed.
"I don't know if it can be cured. My second uncle's family was poor back then, and I guess they didn't have the money to treat his leg."
