Chapter 2 Inventory (1/2)



Lin Qingmei pushed the cabinet beside the bed hard and saw the keyhole on the wall.

He took the key from around his neck, inserted it into the wall and twisted it gently. There was a click and a hole appeared in the wall.

Walking down the stairs, she saw a door. Lin Qingmei fumbled in the corner for a while and took out a golden key.

Insert the golden key into the door and turn it three times to the left, then three times to the right.

If the lock is turned incorrectly, the entire basement will collapse and the contents will be destroyed.

This room was built by Grandpa Lin himself. When he was in his teens, he rescued a descendant of Master Lu Ban at sea. He built this basement according to the drawings given by the descendant of Master Lu Ban. Ordinary people can't open the lock of this basement at all.

As soon as the door of the basement opened, Lin Qingmei was stunned by the mountain of boxes in front of her.

Wow, could all these boxes be made of gold? And could all those furniture in the corner be made of rosewood or agarwood?

Hey, this is the letter Grandpa Lin left for Yuan㹏. Lin Qingmei found a letter on the front box.

When I opened the envelope, sure enough, inside was a letter from Grandpa Lin to Lin Qingmei.

The letter carefully recorded the contents of the boxes and the location of another secret compartment in the house.

There were fifty-eight large boxes in the tonnage room, including ten boxes of large yellow croaker, ten boxes of small yellow croaker, five boxes of pearls, three boxes of agate, ten boxes of jadeite, and ten boxes of various jewelry.

There are two sets of rosewood furniture, two agarwood armchairs, two ebony boxes, and two sets of huanghuali tables and chairs.

In addition to these boxes, there is a secret compartment in the corner.

Counting from the door, count upward from the fourth and fifth bricks to the tenth brick.

When Lin Qingmei pulled out the ten bricks, she saw a suitcase inside.

The suitcase was filled with stacks of big black tens, each stack containing one thousand yuan.

Lin Qingmei counted them and found there were thirty stacks in total, which is thirty thousand yuan.

Nowadays, a pound of rice costs only 20 cents, and households with a population of 10,000 are still rare. Thirty thousand yuan is already a huge sum of money.

These things were the dowry left by Grandpa Lin and Grandma Lin to Yuan Yu. The old couple were very disappointed with their son Lin Jianshe and never told him that there were so many valuable things at home.

More than ten years have passed since Lin Qingmei was sent back, but Lin Jianshe has not given the old couple a penny. He did not even come back when the two elderly people fell ill.

Grandma Lin didn't expect that after her death, her granddaughter would follow her. Now the things in the room belong to Lin Qingmei.

Lin Qingmei put all the things into the space and left the room. After coming out, she destroyed the mechanism at the entrance.

This ton room will not be used in the future, so it is safer to destroy the mechanism.

Just as the room was restored to its original state, the sound of Li Chunya crying was heard from outside the yard.
