With a stepmother, there will be a stepfather. If his mother had not had the foresight to secretly give all the dowry she brought to him in advance, I am afraid that those things would have fallen into the hands of his father's step-wife.
Li Shuhua saw all of his reactions in Li Wenjing's eyes. This father is really good.
After observation, I found that the people on my biological parents' side were really nice, not like what Li Yuerong said.
Mom is right, Li Yuerong is a complete ungrateful person.
At night, Li Shuhua and Xia Yulan lay on the kang.
"Yulan, I want to give Jingjing the box of jewelry that mom left behind. What do you think?"
Li Shuhua's mother, Shao Xue, was a very wise woman, and her family was originally a wealthy family.
The family members favored boys over girls, so when they left, they took all the men with them, leaving Shao Xue alone.
At that time, she was just a fifteen-year-old girl, and she hid all the remaining things in the house.
She married Li Daniu, the family's farmhand, and they returned to Li Daniu's hometown, Qingshan Brigade, to live.
They also used the money they brought to buy Li Daniu a temporary job at the county steel plant.
Later, she gave birth to two sons and one daughter. The eldest son is Li Shuhua, the second son is Li Zhihua, and the eldest daughter is Li Mei.
When Shao Xue died, she gave a portion of her hidden belongings to each of her three children.
Of course, an extra portion was given to Li Shuhua, the eldest son, and it was clearly stated that it was for the eldest granddaughter.
Li Shuhua had originally waited to give this thing to Li Yuerong when they got married, but he had never expected that the wrong child would be taken away. He had never thought that the daughter he had raised for sixteen years would abscond with the money and leave their family with a mess.
Fortunately, Jingjing came back and gave them all the money she had, otherwise who knows what would have happened to their family.
"Should I give it to you now, or wait until Jingjing gets married?"
Xia Yulan knew that her mother-in-law had left them a lot of things, including the cabinets, tables, and stools used in the house.
But she also knew that these things were worthless.
She had looked at the box of jewelry, which was all jade and was nothing compared to the 450 yuan her daughter gave them.
Otherwise, their family would not have gone to her parents' home to borrow money because Li Yuerong took the money.
Xia Yulan didn't know that what her mother-in-law left behind were not just these things, but also gold bars, but they just didn't discover them.
"Now!"
As Li Shuhua spoke, he got up from the kang, picked up the cabinet beside the kang, opened the hole underneath, and took out a box that was 40 cm long and 30 cm high. If someone knew the value of the box, they would know at a glance that this box was also valuable, as it was made of rosewood.
The two men restored the things on the kang to their original state.
Li Wenjing was about to go into the space to continue practicing for a while when he heard a knock on the door.
When he opened the door, he saw Li Shuhua and his wife holding a large box. Although he was puzzled about the reason for their arrival, he still made way and welcomed them into the house.
"Dad, Mom, why don't you sleep? What do you want to talk to me about?"
"Jingjing, this is something your grandma left for you, keep it."
Li Shuhua stuffed the box directly into Li Wenjing's arms.
Li Wenjing: “…”
"My grandmother?"
Her grandma is still alive? How could she not know!
"Yes, that's your grandma, my mom!"
"When did grandma come? Why didn't I see her?"
Li Wenjing felt that he had very good ears and eyes, and if someone came, he would definitely not be unaware.
"Your grandma passed away a long time ago. This is what she left for you!"
Li Shuhua felt a little sad when he talked about his mother.
It’s strange to say, when his mother passed away, he was not married yet, so how did she know that he would have a daughter and she would have a granddaughter?
Shao Xue: You silly son, there are so many things you don’t know?
I, your mother, have more abilities than just these few. I also know that you will enjoy the blessing of having a daughter in the future.
Li Wenjing: “…”
Her grandmother must be a very powerful person.
Shao Xue: My eldest granddaughter has good taste!
"Dad, Mom, doesn't Li Yuerong know about this? Why didn't you give it to her?"
Li Shuhua and Xia Yulan looked at each other. They didn't know why they hadn't shown the box to Li Yuerong in advance, and even their three sons at home didn't know about it.
I originally wanted to give it to Li Yuerong after she got married, but...
All of this is fate and destiny. Li Yuerong does not have this blessing.
Li Shuhua...
Xia Yulan...
Li Wenjing looked at the expressions of the two people and knew that Li Yuerong really didn't know.
She opened the box and saw what was inside, and her eyes lit up.
There are many treasures in her space, but the things in this box are still eye-catching.
A pair of icy jade bracelets, a pair of mutton-fat jade bracelets, a pair of Hetian jasper bracelets, a pair of phoenix hairpins, and various agate bracelets, pendants, and headdresses...
These things may seem worthless now, but after the reform and opening up, their value will gradually increase.
Li Wenjing originally thought that the Li family was an ordinary farming family, but she didn't expect that they had such a treasure.
No, the things have been taken out, why are they still so heavy?
"Dad, this weight is wrong!"
When Li Shuhua heard his daughter say this, he picked up the box and weighed it.
The weight of this box is definitely wrong.
Li Wenjing knocked on the box again, and it was hollow!
She began to search inside the box and found a button on the side. She pressed it and the compartment below opened with a click...
I really didn't expect that such a box would be so empty.
Below are neatly stacked golden bars...
The three of them looked at each other, all stunned.
Li Wenjing picked them up and weighed them in his hand. Each gold bar weighed about 100 grams.
But there are a full fifty of them here, which means five kilograms.
If this is sold on the black market, it will also bring a lot of money.
With this, not only can I pay back the Chen family's betrothal money, but I can also pay back the brigade's money, and there will be a lot left...
Maybe their family can eat meat every day from now on.
The house can also be renovated and replaced with a blue brick and tile house...
No, I can't think like that. Don't show off your wealth. Don't show off your wealth...
Xia Yulan silently muttered in her heart...
"Dad, Mom, are you still going to give me these things?"
Xia Yulan was a little reluctant in her heart, after all, she had three sons and the family really needed money now, but she still didn't ask for it, after all, Li Shuhua was still the one in charge of the family.
Li Shuhua nodded without thinking.
"Of course, whatever's in here, your grandma gave it to you, so it's yours!"
Li Wenjing's smile became more sincere when he heard this.
Her father is a fair man and doesn't have so many ulterior motives.
She could clearly see the confusion on her mother's face.
