Qiao Xiaomai squinted her eyes, “Is that really true?”
“If you don’t believe me, you can dig up your house’s ground to check. However, that treasure is buried quite deep, and there’s a layer of iron sheet cast over it, forming a basement. I wonder if your strength can tear that layer of iron open.”
Qiao Xiaomai was speechless,
“Because we noticed that the batch of treasures was buried in your home, my grandfather and I have been paying more attention to you. But it was just a little more attention. We didn’t take action all those years because you didn’t ask for help.”
“Now that you frequently seek his assistance, your entire demeanor has greatly changed. You’re no longer helpless, so my grandfather is willing to lend you a hand.”
Tong Sanlang made a light clicking sound with his tongue and shifted his sitting position. He put the Foxtail Grass he was holding in his mouth, his gaze resting on Qiao Xiaomai, and he laughed, “Miss Qiao, I wasn’t lying to you when I said all that.”
Many years ago, his grandfather chose to retire in Anping Village, and then buried the batch of treasures outside the village.
But as the population of Anping Village increased, what was originally outside became inside the village.
The piece of land ultimately fell to Qiao Changshun.
So naturally, his grandfather started to pay more attention to Qiao Changshun’s family.
Qiao Changshun was stupidly filial, honest, simple, kind, and from a poor family. No one would think that such a family would actually be sitting on a treasure trove.
It’s quite a good camouflage. In any case, his grandfather and he both kept an eye on Qiao Changshun’s household. But they did not stand up to stop the Sun Family’s thug-like behavior.
After all, they hadn’t witnessed it even once.
Qiao Changshun had never asked for help.
If they were proactive and went out of their way to help, it might attract attention.
So he didn’t lie to Qiao Xiaomai with his previous explanation.
Qiao Xiaomai looked at him in silence, without a word.
It wasn’t that she didn’t want to speak, but that her mind was in a mess, and she didn’t know what to say.
“By the way, there’s another thing.” Tong Sanlang spoke as he bit the Foxtail Grass in his mouth like a cigarette. He casually plucked a few more, and continued, “The jade pendant your father found last year actually belongs to the Left Chancellor Yu Ang. He lost it while wandering the streets when he came to visit Master Gu.”
“Your father picked it up and didn’t claim it as his own. Instead, he stood in place waiting for the owner, the Left Chancellor. Seeing his honesty, he gave him fifty taels of silver as thanks.”
“However, that fifty taels of silver brought such a disaster to your family. If he knew, he would probably feel sorry.”
Really sorry.
Yu Ang was his sixth maternal uncle. He had come to visit Master Gu and find his grandfather when he lost the jade pendant in a small incident.
At the time, he was standing at the corner of the street, watching Qiao Changshun wait for the owner in his old, sweaty clothes. He felt a wave of emotion and suggested Yu Ang give Qiao Changshun fifty taels of silver.
But as a result, that fifty taels of silver had almost gotten Zhuang Luhe beaten to death by the Sun Family.
And it caused Qiao Changshun to break his leg.
This was unexpected. For this, he truly felt sorry.
Qiao Xiaomai was again speechless,”…”
She never expected that the fifty taels of silver came about in such a way!
She frowned and snorted through her nose.
Sorry, my ass.
There was nothing wrong with Qiao Changshun picking up the jade pendant, and there was nothing wrong with the so-called Left Chancellor giving a token of appreciation. What was wrong was the greedy Sun Family, and the deceitful Sun Junyan concealed in the shadows.
Moreover, if it wasn’t for this incident, would she not really have died?
She had been in a car accident, and the original owner had gone up the mountain to dig for herbal medicine, accidentally rolled down the mountain and hit her head.
Dying on the spot.
If nothing had happened to the original owner, then would she, who had been in a car accident, really have had to reincarnate?
Although it’s difficult to have transmigrated into the body of the original owner, it’s still better than being dead..
