Seeing the grandparents and grandchildren return, Fang Cui hurried over to greet them, "Mom, it's getting late. Dad wants to leave first. I've put the food for you and Xiao Lingdang on the small stove in the carriage to keep warm. You can eat it slowly when you get on the carriage!"
Zhao nodded without saying anything else. Seeing that they had almost finished packing, she picked up Xiao Lingling and got on the carriage.
As soon as Little Lingdang got on the bus, she smelled the porridge. She quickly tugged at Zhao's sleeve and said with a bitter face, "Grandma, grandma, porridge! Little Lingdang is really hungry!"
Zhao couldn't help but chuckle, "Okay, okay, I'll serve you some porridge. Are you guys full? If not, grandma will serve you more!"
Lin Wen shook his head. They looked at their grandmother and sister with curiosity, wondering how they had saved people. However, seeing that their sister was so hungry, they could only ask later.
Zhao served porridge and eggs to Xiao Lingdang and asked her to eat first, and then she had time to open the bundle and check.
When I opened it, I found that there were quite a lot of things inside. The most conspicuous ones on the top were two exquisite wooden boxes, which contained several hairpins and bracelets.
These hairpins look very valuable at first glance. They are carved with hollow butterflies and crabapples, and they look like real ones.
Moreover, the butterfly's wings are inlaid with gems. Apart from the gems, the rest is made of gold. Zhao weighed it in her hand and found that it was actually solid.
There were bracelets made of silver, gold and jade. Although she didn't understand much, she could guess that these things must be expensive. They must be worth at least a few hundred taels. Thinking of this, Zhao felt a little overwhelmed.
However, what she didn't know was that these were limited editions from Kyoto Wanbaozhai. There was only one of each style, and any one of them would cost over a thousand taels.
The little ones knew gold was expensive, so their mouths dropped open at the sight of the jewelry. Lin Wu, in particular, nearly cried out, frightening Zhao so much that she quickly covered his mouth with her hand.
"My dear little ancestor, can you really yell that? What if someone hears you and comes to steal it? You're so impatient! Have you forgotten what I taught you? Don't show off your wealth! Remember?"
Lin Wu also reacted at this time, smiled embarrassedly, and quickly waved his hand to indicate that he would not say anything nonsense.
Only then did Zhao slap him and let go.
Little Lingling was very hungry and just focused on eating. She didn't look at the jewelry until she had finished half a bowl of porridge and felt a little better. As a result, she fell in love with the butterfly hairpin at first sight.
"Wow, that butterfly is so beautiful! I love it!" As she spoke, Little Bell didn't even bother to drink the porridge and reached out to take it.
Zhao didn't stop her, but just told her to be careful, after all, all this was earned by her granddaughter.
"Little Bell, you like it very much? Then grandma will keep them all for you, okay? Your hair is still short now, so you can't wear them, but you will definitely be able to in the future!"
Little Lingling raised her hand and touched her limp hair, feeling a little discouraged. "Grandma, please keep this for me. Don't give it to anyone else!"
Zhao naturally had no choice but to say, "Okay, okay, grandma will definitely not give it to anyone else. She will keep it all for you. When you grow up, I will use it as your dowry!"
Xiao Lingling is not a greedy person after all. Although she is greedy for food, she is not greedy for money. She also has these things in her space, which are all donated by believers, so she shook her head.
"No need. The rest should be given to grandma, aunt, and mother. Little Lingdang is still too young to wear it anyway. When she grows up, she can buy her own! Little Lingdang is very capable and can earn her own money in the future!"
Zhao was amused by her impish appearance and laughed out loud, "Okay, okay, our little Bell is amazing!"
After saying that, Zhao put away the jewelry and rummaged through the floor, where she found several pieces of fine fabrics. They were smooth and had particularly bright colors, perfect for making clothes for Xiao Lingling.
She picked it up and looked through it, and found that a few pieces of paper fell out from among the cloth. Lin Ran, who was sitting next to Zhao, picked them up quickly and took a look at them. His eyes lit up instantly.
"Grandma, Grandma, look at this! This!"
Zhao was stunned for a moment, thinking it was some waste paper, but when she picked it up, she was dumbfounded.
Zhao couldn't read, but she had seen silver bills before, so even though she didn't know the denomination of the bill, she knew it was a silver bill!
There were several more. Her hands began to tremble with fear as she handed the banknotes to her eldest grandson, who had been in school for two years. "Xiao Wen, come on, show grandma how much is written on this?"
Lin Wen took it in surprise and was stunned at the sight. After a long pause, he said, "Grandma, this, this is a silver note worth two hundred taels!"
Zhao almost fainted. Oh my God, what kind of lady did she save?
This is clearly a gold nugget! Not only did he give away so many jewelry, but he also spent a thousand taels of silver!
That's right, one thousand taels. There were five silver notes in total, each worth two hundred taels. She was truly shocked by this generous sum. She had never imagined in her lifetime that her family would one day become so prosperous.
She hurriedly put the banknotes away in a panic, but she felt it was not safe anywhere. She stuffed them into her clothes, then into her package. She was so busy that she was sweating, but she still could not find a safe place.
Little Lingling looked surprised, but she still drank the big bowl of porridge obediently, and then interrupted Zhao, "Grandma, I'm full!"
When Zhao heard the voice, she subconsciously looked towards Xiao Lingling. When she saw her, her eyes lit up instantly. She had finally found a truly safe place!
She quietly stuffed a few banknotes into Xiao Lingling's hands and said in a tone that only the two of them could understand, "Okay, okay, are you full? It's just right. Grandma will sort out some valuables later. Xiao Lingling will help Grandma put them away! Xiao Lingling is the most tidy!"
Little Lingling understood instantly, and the banknotes disappeared with a flip of her hand. After she finished speaking, she waved her empty little hand at Zhao, and Zhao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The four grandchildren standing by were completely confused. In the end, they didn't see where their grandmother hid the banknotes. Anyway, their grandmother said that she had hidden it well and no one could find it.
After that, there was only a slightly larger box left in the bundle. Before Zhao opened it, Xiao Lingling smelled something and exclaimed, "Ah, it smells so good! So sweet!"
Zhao didn't know what it was. When she opened it, she found it was a box of very exquisite pastries. Zhao was a little dazed and didn't know why the lady would give her pastries.
But Xiao Lingling knew because yesterday when she was talking to the lady, in order to divert her attention, she mentioned the cakes she liked, such as red bean cakes and red date cakes. She liked them all.
I didn’t expect that the lady would remember it and give me such a big box.
