"Keep your voice down."
Shen Xiao glanced at the window vigilantly. Fortunately, he had just blocked the window with a wooden board.
Even if someone outside jumped into the yard to eavesdrop, they would not be able to hear what was being said in the house.
"What Qing Dynasty? The Qing Dynasty was corrupt and incompetent. It allowed foreigners to invade and either ceded territory or paid compensation. It was nothing."
Shen Xiao narrowed his eyes and looked at the stamp in Qiao Baozhu's hand with a look of disdain: "Does it say it's from the Qing Dynasty?"
"Tear it up. I don't want that thing."
Shen Xiao was so disgusted that he forgot that it was left by his grandfather, and his first reaction was to tear it up.
Qiao Baozhu quickly hid the stamp behind her back and growled angrily, "Are you crazy? This is your heirloom. Do you know how much it can be sold for?"
Shen Xiao was not convinced: "What can this Qing Dynasty's broken stuff be worth?"
"This is China's first set of stamps. No matter which dynasty it is from, the first one is always the most valuable. If you dare to tear it, I will tear you up."
At that time, Qiao Baozhu saw with her own eyes that someone bought a Qing Dynasty dragon ticket for 20 million yuan at the auction.
A stamp, just such a small piece, was sold for 20 million.
He actually despised Shen Xiao, a guy who didn't know the value of things.
Seeing that his young wife was really anxious, Shen Xiao stopped teasing her. He then handed over the custody of the box with confidence.
"Okay, okay, you know better than me. These will be yours from now on. Just look after them. I won't take care of them anymore."
Qiao Baozhu carefully put the stamps back into the stamp album and looked carefully at the few dozen stamps inside.
She found that Shen Xiao's grandfather seemed to be someone who understood antiques. He just thought that certain things looked more memorable, so he kept them.
For example, the first set of stamps in the Qing Dynasty included three dragon stamps and nine longevity stamps issued on the birthday of Empress Dowager Cixi.
As for silver dollars, there is one for each emperor of the Qing Dynasty, more than a dozen Yuan Datou coins, and more than a dozen Zhongshan silver coins.
In addition, there are seven or eight feather tubes.
"Oh my god, this is good stuff."
Qiao Baozhu picked up an emerald feather tube, and the word "shocked" could no longer describe her mood. The old man whom I had never met before actually left such a large sum of money.
"These are all left by your grandfather. Why would he let you keep them? Didn't your father ask you for them?"
Shen Xiao just said that his biological father and stepmother have always been thinking about him.
Now that these treasures are in Qiao Baozhu's hands, she is reluctant to give them away at all.
Anything you buy here is priceless.
Shen Xiao shook his head: "My dad only knows that the old man left me some things, but he doesn't know what they are."
"You still want it if you don't know? Is he so sure that what the old man left you is money and not a debt?"
After Qiao Baozhu said this, she regretted it. It is very rude to make such malicious assumptions about an elderly person. What's more, the old man left behind hundreds of millions of assets, so it was unreasonable for her to speak like that.
Shen Xiao was not angry, but thought it was a new idea.
"You're right. He doesn't even know what grandpa left behind, but he wants to give his son a share. Humph, they didn't fulfill their filial duties when the old man was alive, but now that he's gone, they want to share his things."
"These things are actually priceless. Don't you have a sister over there? Forget about others, but as for your sister, should we share some?"
Qiao Baozhu asked tentatively. She remembered that Chen Xiao had said before that her sister-in-law would come over during the winter vacation.
"Grandpa left me alone, Qiaoqiao..."
When Shen Xiao mentioned this sister, his brows furrowed and he hesitated to speak again.
"I remember you said before that my little sister would come over during the winter break. Now that we have the break, do you want to bring her over to celebrate the New Year?"
Who would like to have one more person in the house? Qiao Baozhu didn’t like it in her heart, but she still had to do what she had to do.
"He's the commander, how could he not know about the disbanding of the corps? He didn't let Qiaoqiao come because he was afraid that I would use this opportunity to ask him to help me transfer to another job."
Shen Xiao laughed at himself, his so-called father was extremely hypocritical. He demonstrated his integrity by treating his own son harshly, ignoring and even suppressing him.
Qiao Baozhu knew the answer and did not continue the conversation. It's enough to know that your husband's mind is not on that other thing and he is willing to live a good life with you.
"Then wait until she gets married in the future, and I'll give her a gold bar as a dowry."
Qiao Baozhu is generous with money, and even more generous with other people's money.
"That's good. Qiaoqiao should leave that home. Without that woman's brainwashing, she can live a good life."
Shen Xiao didn't want to hide it from Qiao Baozhu, so he told her about the conflict between him and the other party.
My mother died early and my father remarried.
As the saying goes, if you have a stepmother, you will have a stepfather. Commander Shen was kind to the two sons brought by his second wife, but was dissatisfied with his eldest son Shen Xiao in every way.
In this family, Shen Xiao only cares about his younger sister. Unexpectedly, Qiaoqiao was brainwashed by her stepmother and didn't like her serious brother. She was more intimate with her two stepbrothers.
The stepmother's youngest son was a habitual thief and even broke into Commander Shen's study. I took some money from his drawer and spent it all outside.
After Commander Shen found out, the stepmother and her two sons testified to each other that no one had entered the study.
The crime of stealing money fell on Shen Xiao. Shen Xiao refused to accept it, but Qiaoqiao reported Shen Xiao at the instigation of her stepmother.
After being beaten, Shen Xiao ran away from home angrily.
"I ran to my second aunt's house in a rage because my mother was buried there and I wanted to see her."
"My second aunt found me by my mother's grave. After taking me home, she sent a telegram to the old man. After receiving the letter, the old man came to pick me up in person and sent someone to investigate the truth of the matter."
Commander Shen knew that he had wronged his eldest son, and not only did he not feel guilty, but he felt that the old man doted on Shen Xiao too much.
What's the big deal if a father beats a child? Isn't it just wronging him? Is it necessary for him to run away from home?
And he was unlucky no matter where he went, he had to go to his own mother's grave. Doesn't this clearly tell the world that he was abused by his biological father and stepmother?
Shen Xiao never returned to that home again, even though his sister later wrote him several letters of apology.
Later, Shen Xiao became a soldier and went to the front line.
The old man passed away, and Commander Shen deliberately kept it a secret from Shen Xiao. The stepmother turned the old house upside down but found nothing valuable. Only then did he reluctantly inform Shen Xiao, thinking that Shen Xiao's return to attend the funeral would allow those treasures to see the light of day again.
As soon as Shen Xiao showed up, Qiaoqiao told him about the plan of her biological father and stepmother, in order to apologize to her brother.
Shen Xiao accepted his sister's kindness, but did not take out his grandfather's belongings.
Over the years, the brother and sister have often written to each other, and their relationship has returned to what it was before. But Qiaoqiao mentioned it intentionally or unintentionally in her heart, asking Shen Xiao to hide the relics left by the old man. Shen Xiao didn't know what his sister's intentions were, but he could guess that his biological father and stepmother had always been thinking about the money and would not give up.
"My stepmother tried every means to force her niece on me. She thought she was the smartest person in the world and treated me like a fool."
Shen Xiao snorted coldly, took the gold bar that Qiao Baozhu was playing with, and threw it into the box casually.
"You can deal with these things. You can sell them for money or keep them as a family heirloom. I don't care."
Qiao Baozhu lowered her voice and asked, "Is it safe to keep these things in our room?"
Just as he was thinking about it, Shen Xiao's eyes suddenly tensed up, and he jumped off the kang lightly on the spot.
Seeing him in a defensive posture, Qiao Baozhu was so frightened that she quickly threw the things into the wooden box and covered it. He held the wooden box in his arms, fearing that someone would snatch it away.
“Dangdangdang”
Someone is knocking on the window!
“Dangdangdang”
The man was knocking on the door again!
"Captain Shen! Captain Shen!"
The man knocked on the door and shouted hysterically.
