Chapter 188 The Sound is Clear
"Yuan boy," Aunt Fang looked at him with a bad face and shook her head continuously, "I treat you as my own junior, so I want to tell you some heartfelt words. Some of the words may not be pleasant to hear, please don't mind it."
"Aunt, you say," Fang Yuan's face also became solemn after hearing this. The scar across his eyebrow had a hint of viciousness, which made people's hearts beat wildly.
"I don't think you two can be together," Aunt Fang said with a long sigh, "You listened to my analysis, didn't you? If you really want to live with Zhixia, you have a direction to work towards, right?
You two are both good kids, and there is nothing wrong with a five-year age difference, but the problem is that you are married and have three children. Of course, the three children are cute and sensible, and Zhixia likes them very much, but she treats them as her brothers and sisters. If you ask her to be the stepmother of those children, how many women would be happy?
Besides, wouldn’t the children’s mother be like a thorn in their heart?
Besides, one of you is in Kyoto and the other is in our village. If you are a responsible man, you should talk about this after you return to Kyoto and can support your family. But Xia Xia is a girl and can't wait.
Yuanzi, Xia Xia has no elders to make decisions for her, but she relies on her brother the most. Auntie knows Zhiqiu, he definitely doesn't want to hand his sister over to you.
Actually, I really want you two to be together. Putting aside all the trivial things, you are good-looking, kind-hearted, and capable, so you are a perfect match. But we can't let the girl down."
Fang Yuan was stunned for a moment, a sour feeling passed through his heart, and he said in a deep voice: "Aunt, I understand what you mean. Thank you for thinking about Xia Xia. I will think about it, but I probably won't give up."
"Oh, you are such a stubborn child. It's true that life seems long, but there are not many people who can make you do whatever you want. Auntie just wants you to think more about the children and Xia Xia," Aunt Fang patted his arm, then walked away, shaking her head and sighing.
The two children are so happy, and they like each other, so why did God give these two poor children so many difficulties? This is not the way it is portrayed in TV dramas.
Fang Yuan thought for a long time before he stepped in and called An Zhiqiu to move things outside the door.
"This is," An Zhiqiu said with difficulty, looking at the thick wooden vine on the extended tricycle that was coiled around the bamboo pole like a gray snake, "This can't be a grape vine, right?"
"Give me a hand," Fang Yuan nodded, and the two of them carried the grape vines that looked like a small corridor into the yard with great effort, causing everyone to come out of their houses.
"Yuanzi, did you move the fruit-bearing grape vines here?" Uncle Fang asked in surprise, then frowned and shook his head: "The smaller the grape vines are, the easier they are to transplant. It's so cold, I don't know if they can survive."
Fang Yuan glanced at An Zhixia, chuckled and said, "How can you know if it will work if you don't try?"
These words made several adults in the yard feel uncomfortable.
"Okay, now that Yuanzi has moved here, let's do our best. I think the roots of the grape vines are well preserved and there is a 30 to 40 percent chance of them surviving," the village chief took off his heavy cotton jacket, found a shovel, and started gesturing, choosing a place to dig.
Fang Yuan also took off his thick clothes, holding a shovel covered with fresh mud and started digging together.
An Zhiqiu moved to the girl's side and whispered, "I can also make you a grape vine, Xia Xia, don't be soft-hearted. Men are very different before and after marriage, and I don't want you to be deceived."
An Zhixia pursed her lips and smiled: "You make it sound like you're not a man."
"How are they the same? I am a wise man. I know that the wife I married is to be loved and accompanied for life. But who knows what kind of evil intentions Fang Yuan has under his calm and reliable appearance?"
"You don't even call me Brother Yuan anymore?"
"What are you yelling for!" An Zhiqiu glared at the heartless girl, "You're thinking about my sister, and I'm still calling him brother, how stupid of you!"
"Zhiqiu," Fang Yuan looked up and called out. "Do you have a hoe at home? There are rocks underneath, and the shovel is not strong enough."
"Hey, Brother Yuan, there is, I'll get it right away!" An Zhiqiu responded, then glared at the girl who was covering her mouth and laughing, and poked her forehead with his hand, "You have a silly brother, are you happy?"
"No, brother, you're not stupid, you're cute. No wonder sister-in-law loves you so much," these words made An Zhiqiu run away with a red face.
She smiled and looked away, meeting Fang Yuan's dark eyes head-on.
She nodded at him with a faint smile, then turned around to talk to her sister-in-law.
Fang Yuan held the shovel tightly and dug the hole with all his strength. The shovel hit a stone and his palms went numb from the shock. Then he frowned and dug again. The sound of the iron hitting the stone was so crisp that even Uncle Fang next to him could hear it.
The two looked at each other, and Fang Yuan whispered to Fang Lixi, who was squatting and picking up stones, "Lixi, go and lock the door, and then follow Niu Wang to take the younger brother and sister to Grandpa Fang and Grandma Fang's room to play."
Li Xi clapped her hands in response, washed her hands, ran to close the door, and then called the children to go into the house to play together.
Fang Yuan and the village chief dug hard towards the place where the strange noise came from. After a while, a dark green box with intricate patterns appeared in the dark brown soil!
Fang Yuan took out the box, it felt very heavy in his hand.
At this time, An Zhiqiu came over with a hoe in hand. When he saw the indentation of the box in the mud pit, he understood what was going on. He dug the indentation twice with the hoe. The three of them carefully wiped the dirt off the outside of the box, washed their hands, and carried the box into the house.
"Did you finish digging so soon?" Three women were talking in the house. When they saw the three of them come in, they asked in surprise, but then their eyes were all on the box that Fang Yuan was holding.
"What's going on?" An Zhixia guessed vaguely.
This was originally the courtyard that the palace allocated to the housekeeper. Even though the palace declined later, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse, so there are naturally many good things. As a housekeeper in the palace, serving the master and managing the servants, if you are smart, you can get more than some masters' private vaults.
As dynasties changed and wars continued, underground became the safest place to hide gold, silver and jewelry.
However, many people have thought of it, so there was a period of time when there was a craze for digging for treasure in Kyoto. Some guards took advantage of their status to dig in big houses, but only a few of them got anything.
It is really not easy for this box to escape this trend.
"We dug it up in the yard," Fang Yuan put the box on the table. "The house has changed hands several times. The furniture and other items must have been sold together, right? Is it written in the contract?" He looked at An Zhixia.
"Well, I'm afraid there will be disputes. This clause is written in the sales contract. Once the house is sold, the yard and everything in the house belong to the buyer. The seller agreed and signed and put his fingerprints on it, and it was registered and filed with the Real Estate Bureau."
