Chapter 124 Origin
Shen Qingqian's words made Shen Xiao pause, and he immediately remembered that he had bribed the guide yesterday, so he asked: "Sixth sister, I forgot to ask before, where did you get that thing you gave me yesterday?"
Could it be that Sister Qian also hid something and brought it out? But how did a little girl like her bring it out?
Shen Xiao remembered clearly that all his brothers and sisters at home were panicked at that time, and even he did not bring out anything valuable.
Shen Qingqian calmly took out the gold melon seeds and silver peanuts that were given for signing in over the past month from her arms—actually from the system warehouse—and placed them on the table one by one.
This table is made of a raft.
"These are what my grandfather gave me when he asked me to go to his study alone during the Chinese New Year. There aren't many things, and I still have some as a souvenir. You can take these for household use first, aunt." Shen Qingqian explained.
This was half true and half false. Old Master Shen did often let me into his study during New Year's Eve, but it was only to teach me the principles of life and never to give me anything valuable.
Wu looked at what she took out and asked in confusion, "Why have I never seen these before?"
Logically speaking, the old man shouldn't be so partial and only give these to Qian Jie'er.
Shen Qingqian had been prepared. "Grandfather said it was a folk remedy an old friend of his told him. Every year he secretly prepares some golden pumpkin seeds and silver peanuts for me, which can help me avoid some disasters."
Peanuts and melon seeds both have special meanings, and these are closely related to life. Her words actually dispelled Mrs. Wu's doubts.
Because the original body had not been in good health since childhood, it was normal for Mr. Shen to suffer more pain.
Wu then picked up a silver peanut, took a look at it, and said happily, "This thing is good, the workmanship is exquisite, and the peanut shell is carved lifelike. It will definitely be exchanged for a lot of silver."
Originally, these little things were not worth much money, but Shen Qingqian took out these, which were all produced by the system. Needless to say, the workmanship was excellent, and each one was solid. Not to mention the weight, the workmanship alone was worth the price.
Moreover, these are small things, and it is indeed easier to hide them than other things. It is difficult for people to notice them if they are just stuffed into the corners of clothes.
But when Wu thought about what happened to Mr. Shen and the others in the city today, the joy on her face immediately disappeared. "We don't need these for now. I'll keep them for you and we'll talk about it later."
Shen Qingqian naturally didn't care, but Liang seemed to be hesitant to speak.
After everyone went back to their rooms, Liang pulled Shen Qingqian aside and asked softly, "Sister Qian, if you gave those to your aunt, it wouldn't have any effect on you, right?"
As a mother, her children are naturally the most important thing to her. So when she heard Shen Qingqian say that the old man gave it to her specifically to provide her with shelter, she felt a little worried.
Shen Qingqian hadn't expected this, and upon hearing this, she quickly explained, "It's okay, Mom. I still have some here. Don't worry, I won't take it out unless we can't make ends meet."
As she spoke, she took out a few more and showed them to Liang.
Seeing that she still had some in her hand, Liang Shi finally felt relieved and warned her, "This is something your grandfather prepared for your safety. Don't take it out easily."
Thinking of this, she felt a little heartbroken. It seemed that this was what her daughter gave to Shen Xiao last night. It was really a bargain for that person.
"Yeah, I don't need to. Mom, you should rest early. You still have to go to the fields tomorrow." Shen Qingqian responded repeatedly.
They are fugitives, and it is already good enough that the court can give them one day to settle down. They have to go to the fields to work on time tomorrow.
