Chapter 33: The Golden Lock

I stayed in Anping Lane for half an hour, seeing that the time for breakfast had passed, but the things I brought had not been sold, there were twenty-one steamed buns left, one-third of the barrels left of Erchen soup, and half a bucket of Apo tea was directly left.

Wen Shu was very frustrated, and his shoulders stepped down.

Amid the lively shouting on the street, she pushed the car home sullenly.

As soon as she got home, she saw the shop in front of her before she entered the courtyard gate, and her father was leading the two uncles who had made friends to spread the tiles.

She was slightly stunned, and then her dark apricot eyes turned and an idea came to her.

Leaning the car against the wall behind the courtyard gate, and after estimating that she couldn't see the car behind the wall from the direction where her father was standing, and couldn't find her, she quietly slipped into her father's room.

This morning's events clearly told her that it would not work to increase the amount of breakfast and achieve the purpose of making money, and she wanted to pay off the huge debt as soon as possible, but she could only hope for the iron box.

Right now, her father is busy covering the top of the shop, and he won't be able to get down for a while, so why don't she take advantage of this time to steal the box out, and sneak in again, maybe if she's lucky, she can get something again.

Although there is also a certain danger, but in the end, the money comes quickly, don't you see that she only stayed for about a quarter of an hour that time, and she made six times.

Thinking of this, she touched the edge of the cabinet with excitement on her face.

Who knew that when she got closer, she found that her father had locked the cabinet, Wen Shuleng was stunned, and then quickly thought about where her father would hide the key?

She looked around for a moment, and finally her gaze rested on the bed on her right.

She remembered that she had accidentally seen his father hiding something under his pillow, would it ......

She looked out the window and saw that her father was still placing tiles with his back to her, so she straightened up and threw herself on the side of the bed and felt under the pillow.

After a while, she felt a bulge, and she immediately frowned, threw the pillow aside and lifted the quilt again, revealing the wooden box embedded in most of the bed board underneath.

The wooden box is not big, only bigger than a palm, probably for the convenience of the outside is not locked, Wen Shu opened it very easily,

There were a few things inside, the top of which was the key to the cabinet door, and in addition to that, there were two stacked pieces of paper and a longevity lock.

The paper Wenshu didn't need to look at it to know that it must be the title deed and house deed of the shop in front, what surprised her was that the longevity lock, not only pure gold, but also solid, she worried with her hand, estimating that it was worth at least five dollars.

A trace of doubt flashed in Wen Shu's heart, when did her family become so rich? And whose longevity lock does it belong to?

She remembered that she hadn't brought this lock with her when she was a child, and she had a silver lock of her own, which was locked in a cabinet in her room.

Just as he was thinking about it, at this time, there was a sudden sound of talking outside, Wen Shu was startled, hurriedly stuffed the lid of the wooden box back, restored the quilt, and then quickly hid behind the bed curtain.

"It's windy, I can't stand it after squatting on it for a while, the two brothers sit down first, and I'll go to the kitchen to bring the grandma tea made by A-Ning earlier." Wen Tai said on the one hand, and on the other hand, he introduced Sun Heping and the dynasty into the hall house.

"Hey, grandma tea is not in a hurry, hurry up and bring a pot of hot water first, let me pour two sips and go to the cold." Sun Heping sat down and said.

Wentai nodded again and again: "Cheng, the hot water has always been prepared, I'll mention it." So saying, he went out of the hall and into the kitchen.

Wen Shu, who was hiding behind the bed curtain, breathed a long sigh of relief after hearing this, but fortunately she didn't come in, she looked at the key in her hand, but the pure gold longevity lock kept flashing in her mind.

That should be my brother's! Wen Shu felt a little lost.

That's right, she also has an older brother, but unfortunately he died before she was born, and her mother also became ill because she missed her brother, and she had a difficult birth when she gave birth to her, and her soul returned to the west.

Every year during the Qingming Festival, her father would take her to the Jingyang slope outside the city to pay respects, so she knew that she also had an older brother, although this person was not recorded on the household register.

She suppressed the sourness in her heart and said to herself: Daddy also loves him very much, and a golden lock doesn't prove anything. Just like when she was sick, her father was able to give her the only money in the family to hire a doctor.

A golden lock is nothing, and she doesn't like it. That thing is not only heavy to wear, but also eye-catching.

She secretly explained herself, but Wen Tai had already brought hot water in the hall, and was talking to his two good brothers at this time.

"It's hard work for the two brothers, and if you insist on it for half a day, you should be able to finish it, and then I'll invite the two brothers to go to the perfume shop and take a hot bath."

As soon as he heard this, Sun Heping suddenly came to his senses, holding the bowl and said: "This dare is good, I remember the last time I went to wash it was a month ago, and it happened that I felt itchy on my body in the past two days, so let the person rub my back well." ”

"Hahaha, that's it." Moon Tai laughed loudly.

Wen Shu behind the curtain listened to the sound of talking from outside the house, and only felt that his body was itching.

Although she hasn't taken a bath for a month like Uncle Sun, she has been almost half a month since she calculated carefully, and she remembers that the last time she took a bath was before the snow.

No, she also wants to ask Wang Ling to go to the perfume store to take a good bath in the next morning, she secretly decides.

Probably after hiding a cup of tea behind the curtain, the people in the outer hall finally rested and got up and left.

Wen Shu heard that there was no movement outside, and immediately dodged out from behind the bed curtain, quickly opened the cabinet, took the iron box out, and then locked the lock and put the key back into the wooden box as it was.

After carefully inspecting the bed, she felt that her father should not be able to detect the traces, so she held the box, bent down and ran quickly back to her room from the hall.

It's okay, it's okay, I didn't find out!

Wen Shu, who returned to the room, loosened his mouth fiercely, threw the iron box on the bed casually, sat on the edge of the bed, took a few deep breaths, and calmly thought about the preparations to be made before entering.

First of all, you must bring a kitchen knife for self-defense, this is the most indispensable thing, and you can only make money if you have a life.

Second, there should be no less bags for things, and it is best to bring two more, such as in the case last time, if she brought a few more pockets, maybe she would make more than six dollars.

Third, you have to bring some water and dry food, although the first few stays were not long, this time it should not be too long, but it is still necessary to be just in case.

Fourth, it would be nice if you could bring some trauma medicine, in case you get hurt, there is a way out. There seems to be some hemostatic powder left from the hemostatic medicine she prescribed when she had a foot injury last time, so she can bring it with her.

After some thought, Wen Shu did not rush to prepare things to go in immediately, but first locked the iron box into the cabinet at the head of the bed.

Seeing that the hour is not early, she will have lunch later, and the matter of inviting the Sun family to eat that day will be arranged today, as for the ingredients, when they went shopping yesterday, their father and daughter will have all the purchases, and they can make it today.
