Qin Hanshu first took a shovel and went to his former house, which was now where Hu Wenwen lived.

Move a cabinet leaning against the northeast corner away, count to the third brick joint to the south, tap it a few times with the handle of a shovel, and the floor tile will loosen.

Then use a shovel to pry open the bricks, and a layer of wooden boards will appear.

Keep prying the bricks, and the area of ​​the wooden board will become larger and larger, until you can finally take the wooden board out intact.

Under the wooden board, there was a three-foot square pit.

There were three rosewood boxes in the pit, one rectangular and two square.

Qin Hanshu carefully moved the box out.

The rectangular box was mostly filled with books, many of which were rare ancient books, and three scrolls of calligraphy and paintings, all of which were by well-known celebrities.

The calligraphy and paintings and books were wrapped in several layers of oil paper before being put into the box. If you smelled it carefully, you could smell a little bit of Chinese medicine, which was insect repellent.

These paintings and calligraphy and books were the most precious things to Qin Hanshu's father during his lifetime.

The other two boxes contained the belongings of Qin Hanshu's grandmother. It was said that most of them were treasures brought out from the palace and later brought to the Qin family as dowry.

When my grandmother died, she divided her dowry into two parts, one for each of her two sons. Uncle Qin's share disappeared when he died on the battlefield.

As soon as the box was opened, it was filled with jewels and precious stones. The most eye-catching one was a huge pigeon blood red ruby, which felt heavy in the hand. There were also several other colored gems such as sapphires, emeralds, and diamonds, but they were smaller in size.

There are four bracelets, the best one is a glass-type positive green jadeite with full water content.

Another piece of jade jewelry is a 28-seed jade necklace. The quality, water content and color are all of the best and consistent, and they should be from the same raw stone.

There is a pair of eighteen-bead bracelets, one is jadeite and the other is red agate. These should have been the ones that Grandma Qin often played with when she was alive.

There are also some other small items such as earrings and hairpins.

Finally, there were about twenty or thirty Dong pearls the size of pigeon eggs, which filled the gaps in the box and emitted a soft, light golden glow.

This box is full of jewelry.

The other square box contained some larger antiques, including a Yongle gilt seated Buddha, a jade ruyi used by an emperor of the previous dynasty, and a red coral ornament, all of which were things from the palace.

Qin Hanshu's father showed these things to her when she was very young, but they disappeared later and Qin Hanshu didn't know where they went.

It was not until many years after her death that Yang Aizheng took things out from the basement and she realized that there was such a cellar in her home.

Maybe she was too young and her father was afraid that she would let the secret slip outside, so he didn't tell her.

These things were also used by Yang Aizheng to please Hu Wenwen.

Hu Wenwen used the ruby ​​to make a necklace and wore it around her neck when she got married. She shocked her in-laws, who had originally looked down on her, into submission.

There are very few of these things in the world, and you can't buy them just by having money.

In addition to the treasures, there was also a passbook in the box.

In the initial stage of public-private partnership, the policy of "four horses sharing the spoils" was adopted. The so-called "four horses" refer to national income tax, enterprise provident fund, workers' welfare funds, and capital dividends.

After Qin's father's textile factory was merged into a joint venture, he became the director of a state-owned factory, but he was also a capitalist and could get 20% of the textile factory's profits every year.

Two years later, the policy was changed to a fixed interest rate of 5% per annum, which means that the annual dividend was 5% of the profit. This lasted for ten years and ended in 1966.

In other words, for 12 years, the Qin family received dividends from the textile factory.

The money in the passbook has never been moved. There has only been deposits but no withdrawals. The total balance is more than 750,000 yuan.

In this era, it is undoubtedly an astronomical sum of money. However, this is the era of coupons, and money alone is not of much use.

I don't know what Mr. Qin's idea was, but he opened this dividend account in the name of Qin Hanshu.

Qin Hanshu knew that he was rich, so he spent money so recklessly yesterday.

Previously, because Qin Hanshu was still young, the passbook had been kept by Yang Aizheng after Qin's father passed away, and it turned out that she had also hidden it in the cellar.

The Hu family currently does not know the secret of the cellar.

——It could be that Yang Aizheng was afraid that people would discover the four olds in the cellar, or it could be that she still had her eyes on the Hu family.

However, when Qin's father passed away, the factory gave him a pension of 3,000 yuan, which was equivalent to his three years' salary. Yang Aizheng used the money for daily expenses of the family.

Most of Hu Dayong and Hu Bingbing's salary is given to Old Mrs. Hu. The money from Yang Aizheng has been almost spent, and the money in the passbook will be used soon.

Qin Hanshu angrily put the passbook and three boxes into the space!

Then, Qin Hanshu went to the kitchen.

Three days ago, Yang Aizheng took the family's food book and food coupons and purchased next month's food rations as well as oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and honeycomb coal.

Qin Hanshu was too lazy to choose carefully, so he simply collected all the stock and pots, pans, and other utensils in the kitchen.

Qin Hanshu doesn't know how to use pots, pans, and utensils because they are dirty, but that doesn't stop her from leaving the Hu family without them.

The kitchen became empty in an instant.

The utility room is full of junk, don't use it.

The Qin family used to use rosewood furniture, but later they felt it was too ostentatious, so they handed in the rosewood furniture and replaced it with wenge. However, the workmanship is very fine and they are good furniture.

Hu Wenwen used to bring her classmates home and show off everything about her home in various ways.

Qin Hanshu collected all the furniture from several rooms.

Again, she might not need it, but she doesn't want to give it to the Hu family.

Naturally, the things in the cabinets, cupboards and boxes were also taken away.

When she finds the chance, she will throw away everything inside. She doesn't want the things used by the Hu family to pollute her space!

The whole house is empty.

Apart from the junk in the utility room, the only thing left was the large kang on the south side of the room where Yang Aizheng and Hu Dayong slept, which could not be collected.

To completely furnish this home again, Hu Dayong would have to spend at least five years' salary.

Yang Aizhen has no money anymore, so let’s see how they can continue to live their previous wealthy life!
