Chapter Ninety-Four: Arriving Home Safely
Mother Wu poured tea in the house and retreated, and when she turned around, she saw Helan and his party standing in the courtyard, holding the things in their hands, and hurriedly greeted them in surprise.
"Coming back? Tired or not, nothing is a big deal? Although Mother Wu said words of concern, her eyes were floating on several people, and she was looking forward to seeing what she hoped to see.
Helan smiled first, and also knew what Mother Wu wanted to know, so she replied without going around the corner: "I'm not tired, I'm just hungry, everything has been brought back safely, I think Brother Quan should be saved this time." ”
Mother Wu, who understood, turned pale and hurriedly cared: "Have you eaten?" I'm going to cook you some food? ”
Gou Yu, who was standing on the side, heard this, and hurriedly stepped forward and tugged on Wu's mother's sleeve: "Auntie, we haven't had a hot meal for the past three days." ”
"It's hard for our dog to be left, wait, the eldest lady will go cook immediately, you go back to the house to rest for a while."
Father Wu looked at the people in the room and asked a little badly, "What's going on in the house?" What are they here for? ”
Mother Wu's footsteps to the kitchen stopped: "For the bastard thing that Wu Tiezhu did, Wu Lizheng also went to find that kid, he didn't listen to anything, no way, no, the old one made amends to the little one." ”
"Hmph, I'm sorry to come, if something happens to Brother Quan, I'll fight with them, don't even think about it!" Father Wu's honest man has been holding his breath for a few days, and when he saw these people coming to the house, he was even more angry, and he wanted to take a stick and go out of the house.
Helan was also curious about what was going on, but the woman's family really wanted to run up and listen to it, she would be famous in the village tomorrow, and she didn't want to be a topic of conversation in other people's mouths.
She didn't like to talk about gossip, but she liked to listen to gossip, she couldn't hear it at this time, and when she asked Wu Qingzhu at night, she would know what was going on.
When Wu's father raised his feet and entered the hall, Helan was also sent back to the house by Wu's mother to rest, and the dog ran back to Mrs. Mu's house to say something when he saw that there was nothing at home, and he would run over when he ate later.
Helan returned to the room, looked at the box on the table, took out the key in her heart, and opened it again to take a look.
It may also be because of the bumps along the way, Father Wu saw the top two gold ingots in the morning, which would already be at the bottom, and there were a few gold jewelry on the top.
And when I counted them, there were about six pieces of gold, which was about sixty taels of silver.
There were also about twenty taels of broken silver, which should have been forty taels, but He Rumo took twenty taels when he went to his uncle's house.
If you sell a few more kinds of gold jewelry, you can make up a lot of money, and if it is a little bad, the family will not have to make up much, so that you will not owe much money.
There were also a few items wrapped in cotton cloth, and when I opened them, I saw several jade pendants of excellent quality, and there was a bracelet inside.
Helan remembered that two of them were put in by He Rumo, the bracelet was given by her mother, and the jade pendant was bought by her father, and they were all worn since childhood.
There is also a piece of jade pendant that she asked for from her brother, and she also took it with her when she went out this time.
When he saw the bottom, Helan found that this box was very problematic, judging from the thickness of the bottom of this box, it seemed that there was another layer inside.
After looking for a while and not finding how to open it, Helan, who was not convinced, thought of priing it open with a sharp weapon.
Suddenly, a small hole was found in the corner, Helan seemed to think of something, took out the key at hand, buckled it from the opposite side of the key, and after a while, a very small key was buckled.
Such a method of concealment couldn't help but make Helan deeply admired, and ordinary people would not have thought that there was an extremely thin layer at the bottom of the box, nor would they have thought that there was a key inside the key.
Helan was able to find it or suddenly remembered that He Rumo's brother had told her that there was an extremely elaborate box in her mother's dowry, and the box was hidden in the box, and the key was hidden in the key, which was difficult to find.
With a bumpy mood, Helan opened the bottom lock, only to hear a click, as if touching the mechanism, and the lock inside popped open.
This is a very thin layer underneath, probably a few sheets of paper.
Helan flipped through it first, and the first thing that came out was six silver tickets of one hundred taels, and Helan, who didn't know it, also recognized it after a while.
I didn't expect this thing to be in it, Helan, who saw the silver ticket for the first time, looked at the words one hundred taels on it, and was a little dumbfounded, not knowing what to do.
Looking at it again, there is a house deed and several land deeds at the bottom, and I carefully calculated that the land deeds in this add up to about 20 acres of land.
Looking at these things, Helan felt that she had suddenly become a rich woman, and according to her current life, Helan thought that she would probably eat and drink without worry in this life.
Helan, who stopped fantasizing, lowered her head and picked up the bottom envelope, and opened it quite curiously.
I thought it would be the same as others, but I didn't expect it to be a letter.
"Daughter, I think you have arrived in a safe place here, and I am also relieved, these things can ensure that you have no worries about food and clothing in the future. Don't worry about your parents, don't look for it, just live well. Don't think about saving us, Daddy has gone the wrong way, and now it is also retribution, which we should bear. It's just that Daddy still can't bear to let you suffer with us, so he made this plan. The things in here are clean and purchased by your grandmother's relatives, so it's safe for you. As for the property in the capital, or other things, you don't have to touch them again, you just live well, and your father and mother will be at ease......"
Helan wiped the tears left in the corners of her eyes, and suddenly remembered a sentence she heard a long time ago: The love of parents is far-reaching.
No matter what the father did, he always loved his children, and this kind of family affection was what she always looked forward to.
After calming down, Helan put all these things away, took out five silver tickets, and put his father's letter in the same place.
Then he found a hidden place in the house and hid the box, and Helan got out of the door.
The dog left, who had just come out of the kitchen, hurriedly shouted to Helan: "Sister-in-law Lan, hurry up, the meal is ready." ”
"Here it is."
Mother Wu also smiled when she saw Helan coming: "You eat first, and when the house is done, your father will come over." ”
Helan was not polite, picked up the big bowl next to him and slurred and ate.
Wu's mother made them hand-rolled noodles today, and what was rare was that there were still a few pieces of meat in the noodles.
"Mother, where did you get the meat?"
"A few days ago, Qingmei had a happy event, and the meat bought by Wu Tong's family was not used up, and I sent some over two days ago, and I fried it in oil, and this is what it is now."
