The white-robed man's surname was Xie, his name was Xie An, he was a scholar, and he was only twenty-six years old when he died.

Xie An's parents are dead, and he has no siblings, but life is not very difficult, because he is a rich man.

Before his grandfather died, he divided all the possessions he had accumulated in his life in two and gave them to his father and uncle.

Because of political factors, his father did not dare to spend these belongings, but found a secret place to bury them again. When Xie An was older, in order to provide Xie An with education, his father took the risk of exchanging those inconspicuous ones for cash.

Unlike his father, his uncle had already squandered his share of the property.

The day after Xie An's father died, his uncle came to the door.

Uncle Xie grabbed the sad Xie An and said, "Xiao An, Uncle has a money-making business, are you interest......ed?

Uncle Xie thought: His younger brother has a large amount of valuable things in his hands, and when his younger brother dies, he will definitely leave it to his nephew. The nephew alone will definitely not be able to spend it all.

So he planned to find an excuse to do business and cheat some money from his nephew.

When his nephew asked, he said, "Do business, there are losses and gains...... I'm sorry, I've lost it all! Uncle has worked hard in vain!"

At that time, Xie An was eighteen years old, his mother had just died in the first year, and now his father had died, thinking that he would be an orphan in the future, Xie An was full of sadness, and he didn't hear what his uncle said at all, he just thought that his uncle, like other people who came to mourn, was persuading him to mourn by the way, so he nodded, and then lowered his head and wiped his tears.

Uncle Xie was overjoyed, and then said, "Then the transaction costs a lot of capital, how much money did your father leave for you?"

Xie An nodded again and continued to wipe away tears.

Uncle Xie asked and asked, and Xie An's head nodded and nodded.

Uncle Xie secretly scolded "nerd", and went to find water to drink. His mouth was dry.

Uncle Xie went to the back kitchen to drink water, and when he passed by the door of Xie An's room, his footsteps paused, and then he looked around, avoiding people and sneaking into Xie An's room.

Uncle Xie searched everywhere, and finally, he found an unusual small jar under the bed, and the moment he opened the jar, he was dazzled.

This is a jar of gold bars!

It turned out that Xie An's father knew that he would die soon, so he immediately got the buried belongings out of the mud.

Gold in troubled times, collected in prosperous times. Xie An's father knew that his son was a nerd who didn't know how to do business, so he exchanged all those possessions for gold bars. He had given the jar full of gold bars to his son the night before, and the next morning he was seriously ill and died.

Xie An didn't have time to bury the gold bars in that place that only he knew about according to his father's instructions, and then he had to deal with his father's death.

He temporarily hid the jar in the innermost part of the bed, intending to hide it when he was done. I didn't expect the jar to be turned out by Uncle Xie.

Xie An cried and cried, a little urgent, so he turned around and went to the thatched house. But the door of the hut was closed, and someone must have used it, so he went back to his room, intending to urinate in the night pot.

As soon as Xie An pushed the door, he saw half of his legs exposed under the bed, and he sighed in his heart, there was a thief!

He picked up a broom by the door and shouted, "Who?"

Uncle Xie took the jar and moved it out from under the bed. As soon as he moved, Xie An swung the broom handle and smashed it down on his left leg.

Uncle Xie snorted in pain, and hurriedly said, "It's me, I'm your uncle, don't fight!" He quickly moved out from under the bed, and then wiped his sweat with some weakness and looked at Xie An.

Xie An thought it was a thief, but he didn't expect the other party to be his own uncle, so he magically calmed down and said with a guilty face: "I didn't know it was you, I was a little ruthless, uncle, your leg is okay, right?"

When Uncle Xie heard this, he hurriedly made a look that he couldn't stand on his feet anymore, "ouch yo" stepped back and sat on Xie An's bed.

Xie An hurriedly came over to help him, only to find that he was holding his own jar of gold bars in his hand.

Xie An looked at the jar: ......

Uncle Xie: ......

The two sides were silent for a long time before Uncle Xie cleared his throat and asked, "Did your father tell you the origin of this jar of things?"

Xie An nodded and said, "Said that it was given by grandpa, and you also have a copy!"

Uncle Xie had no choice but to put down the half-made lie in his heart about a father who favored his younger son and gave all the inheritance to his younger son, and rubbed his legs with "ouch".

After shouting for a while, he asked again, "Then did your father tell you how to spend it?"

Xie An nodded honestly: "If you confess, take four for tuition and living expenses, and take four more when you marry your daughter-in-law, and leave the rest for your future son." ”

Uncle Xie returned the jar to Xie An and said, "Since your father has planned it for you, then I will rest assured." With that, he limped away.

In less than five minutes, Uncle Xie was carried by his three sons on a stretcher to Xie An's door.

Xie An looked at Uncle Xie who was holding his right leg on the stretcher, and was silent for a while. He smashed his left leg. The uncle and the three cousins obviously came to slander him.

Xie An's lobby brother shouted loudly: "My dad came to mourn my uncle, why did you break his leg? If you don't give an explanation, I won't let my uncle be buried!"

His three cousins are all notoriously ruthless characters in the neighborhood, and they really did it. Moreover, they calculated that he did not dare to tell Uncle Xie about stealing gold bars.

He's an orphan now, he's got gold bars, and the more people know about it, the less safe he becomes.

Xie An is not stupid, but he was protected too well in the past, and he didn't go through anything at all, and he would be at a loss in the face of such an unexpected situation.

He stared blankly at the scolding cousins, and after a long while, he said, "Come in and say!" He thought and thought, in order to bury his father smoothly, he could only choose to compromise.

In the end, he paid four gold bars as compensation for injuring Uncle Xie's "right" leg. Uncle Xie borrowed twelve gold bars in the name of doing business.

Uncle Xie and his three sons each took four gold bars and left, leaving only two gold bars and an IOU signed by Uncle Xie in his hand.

……

After eight years, Xie An, who was hugging each other, returned to his hometown and took an IOU to ask Uncle Xie to repay the money.

Uncle Xie played with amnesia, and his three sons never showed up.

Xie An knew if he wanted to come back, but the breath he was holding back back then was detached!

Over the years, he often remembered the situation at that time, how helpless he was back then! Like a man who was about to be drowned, he desperately stretched out his hand upward, hoping that someone would pull him, but his only remaining relatives stepped on his head......

Three days later, Uncle Xie suddenly asked Xie An to go to his house at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. Uncle Xie said that he would pay him back, and by the way, he told him a secret that should not be told to outsiders.

Xie An decided to go to the appointment on time, he was very curious about what the secret in Uncle Xie's mouth was.
