Chapter 153: A Jar of Gold, Silver and Jewels
After finishing the funeral of the Eighth Master, Cui Xue dug out the things that he said he would give her before he died.
It was a small jar, the type that ordinary people use to pickle sauerkraut, and the lid was sealed with cement.
When Cui Xue wanted to move it out, she found that she couldn't move it, so she had to ask her brother to help.
"This jar is sealed so tightly, we have to break it open." Cui Xiongnian looked at the jar sealed with cement and smacked his lips.
"Break it." Cui Xue didn't care about the jar outside. The things that the old man said must be inside the jar. How could you know what's inside if you don't knock it open?
Cui Yingxiong found a hammer and smashed the jar open. The next second, several people's eyes widened.
A big hole was smashed in the altar, and some pearls and gemstones jewellery spilled out from it. Looking through the hole, you can still see some gold.
After coming to her senses, Cui Xue's expression became serious and asked Cui Yingxiong to smash everything.
Cui Yingxiong, who was careless before, became cautious now.
After finally smashing the altar, the gold and silver bars neatly stacked at the bottom and the various pearls, jade and gemstones jewellery on top were dazzling.
"Oh my goodness, where did the Eighth Master rob this?" Liu Ping was so shocked that she couldn't think straight and said what was in her mind.
"What are you talking about?" Liang Xiaoying gave her a look that made her shut up.
"I'm afraid he found it at the scrap yard before." Cui Xiongnian guessed the source of these things at once.
After the opening up, the scrap station was in name only, and the things inside were moved away by the government. There were many reports that a lot of valuable things were found inside.
Cui Xiongnian, the captain, heard these remarks a lot when he went to meetings. Of course, it was impossible that someone said it casually. The person who said it must be a small leader.
But they didn't expect that the old man would secretly hide so much real gold and silver. Everyone was silent for a long time.
"What should we do with these things?" Cui Yingxiong swallowed and looked at the others.
"Let's share them." Cui Xue sighed.
These things can't be taken out. Even if you want to hand them in, you have to explain their origins. You can't say that the old man took them out of the scrap station, right?
The old man has passed away, and Cui Xue can't stand the bad reputation he has to bear after his death.
Since the old man said before he died that these things were given to her, she might as well divide them up.
There are a lot of things, and she can't take them all by herself. Even if Cui Yingxiong has no objection, her sister-in-law Liu Ping may have an objection.
She can't bet on some uncertain factors, so she can only be pulled like a grasshopper on a rope.
"Really divided?" Cui Yingxiong looked at her in disbelief.
Cui Xue glanced at him and asked Cui Xiongnian and Liang Xiaoying to divide it equally. Then she turned around and walked out of the room. She wanted to be quiet.
The sky was gray today, and the slight breeze brought some coolness, as if a heavy rain would fall in the next second.
Standing in the yard, Cui Xue let out a long breath, not knowing what to think about the things in the house.
It is impossible for real money to be brought into the scrap station openly, it must be hidden in various objects.
She dared not think about how the old man found the real money, how he struggled to hide these things, and what he was thinking when he gave the things to her before he died.
Now she has become a vested beneficiary. To be honest, she is not happy at all, but a lot more heavy.
Liang Xiaoying and Cui Xiongnian divided the things into two parts. Cui Xue's share was obviously larger. She looked up and saw that there was no unhappy expression on Liu Ping's face.
She didn't say much, took the things and explained a few words, then drove back to Zhouzhou.
On the way, Xu kept sighing about the painstaking efforts of her grandfather towards Cui Xue. It was a pity that he had a very hard life and had no children or grandchildren. Fortunately, he had a good ending in the end.
Cui Xue didn't say a word. When they arrived at the city, she sent them back to the compound and turned around and went out again.
She took the things and asked a specialist to look at them. Some of the things inside were not valuable, but they were also old items, so it was okay to keep them for fun.
After looking at them, she took the things to the bank, opened a safe and put them away. She had already thought about the use of these things, but now was not the time.
When she got home, Liang Zongshan also came back. He didn't ask much until he fell asleep. Obviously, Xu didn't tell her son about the things left by her grandfather.
Before going to bed, Cui Xue couldn't help but tell Liang Zongshan about this matter. He was very surprised and asked Cui Xue how to deal with it next.
"I want to wait for you to be promoted again, and then you can hand in those things." Cui Xue was silent for a long time before telling him her plan.
"Why me?" Liang Zongshan was stunned.
This time Cui Xue was silent for a long time, and then said: "The son of the eighth master died in the war. You were injured so badly when you were on a mission before. The money donated by the Dai family is a lot, but I don't know how much can be used in the military. Now these things are handed over by you. Not all, at least a large part can be used for you."
She has been suppressing this matter in her heart. The chairman said that those who fall behind will be beaten, and this is not false.
She would ask the Dai family to donate money to the country, which would also help the country's development.
Now she is holding her grandfather's things, and she feels guilty about it. She is also uneasy about where to use them because they
are not obtained in a legitimate way. After thinking for a long time, she thought of this way, but she doesn't know if it will work.
"You are really good at rushing things." Liang Zongshan couldn't help but sigh after knowing her thoughts.
He said some time ago that he wanted to climb up, which was right, but climbing up is not that easy.
As a result, he was still thinking about how to implement this matter, and Cui Xue began to put pressure on him.
If he can't climb to the right position, the things in the bank will hardly have a chance to see the light of day. The most important thing is that Cui Xue's original intention is good, and he can't bear to let her down.
Cui Xue didn't care whether he was a duck or not. Anyway, the mission was given to him and he had to complete it, otherwise he would be in trouble.
Fortunately, there were still many opportunities to make meritorious deeds. Liang Zongshan took the mission and left soon.
When someone left, there was no certain date for his return and no news. Cui Xue was very worried. Sometimes she would wonder if she had gone too far.
But everyone has selfishness. Why did the old man wait until he died to give her these things? It was also because of selfishness.
She would wait until Liang Zongshan rose to a certain level before handing them over to him. It was also because of selfishness.
If she handed the things over now, it would not be a credit or not, and it might even cause trouble. But if she waited until he grew up and handed them over, it would not be a problem for him, but only the icing on the cake.
