Chapter 40: The Secret in the Box
In fact, Zhang Lan had long been curious about what was in this iron box.
After all, when she was still very young, she saw her father keeping the iron box like a treasure, and never even allowed their siblings to touch it.
And his father's mysterious custody naturally aroused the curiosity of the brothers and sisters at that time.
Zhang Lan still remembers that when he was a child, his second brother once wanted to secretly open the box, but when he saw that he was about to succeed, he was directly caught by his father.
The final result was that his son was almost broken by his father's leg, and he was able to walk normally for several weeks.
Since then, my father has directly threatened his brothers and sisters, if anyone dares to touch this iron box in the future, the end will definitely be worse than this.
From then on, no matter how curious they were, Zhang Lan and the other brothers and sisters no longer dared to fight the idea of the iron box.
Then his father was seriously ill, and before he died, he entrusted this iron box to himself.
Zhang Lan still remembers that her father said at that time that she should never open the box unless it was absolutely necessary.
However, she wanted to ask her father what was hidden in the iron box, but he never mentioned it, and even when he finally died, he never mentioned it again.
Since then, although Zhang Lan is also curious, she has always obeyed her father's wishes, just guarding the box well, and never daring to open it.
However, now that the box has been opened by Shen Ping, Zhang Lan will naturally have some reproach for Shen Ping in his heart.
But it has come to this, and reproach will not help.
And it just so happens that I can see for myself what my father has been saving all his life, what it is!
Could it be that as my brothers and sisters said, my father's box contains rare antiques?
Zhang Lan took a deep breath, and then slowly opened the box.
However, almost as soon as he opened the box and saw the contents of the box, the expression on Zhang Lan's face immediately froze, and his face was replaced by bone-crushing fear.
She covered her mouth in panic, her expression of horror and disbelief, and she was even more shocked and overwhelmed.
Zhang Lan was in this state for dozens of seconds, and in the end, her eyes were full of tears.
Suddenly, she slammed the box shut, and immediately gasped for air, and it seemed that it had taken a long time before she gradually calmed down.
I saw her bite her lip, keep shaking her head, and then muttered: "No, absolutely not!" ”
Then she directly found a few packages, and wrapped the box tightly in the inner and outer three layers, and seemed to be relieved.
And at this moment, Shen Ping also came back with someone from the moving company.
As soon as Shen Ping entered the door, he saw his mother sitting on a stool, looking at him with a serious face.
"Mom, what's wrong with you?" Shen Ping asked with a frown.
When Zhang Lan heard this, she just shook her head, pointed to the movers outside and said, "You let them go, I'll ...... And your dad, don't move! ”
Mother's words suddenly made Shen Ping stunned, and he asked in surprise, "Why, Mom?" What's going on? Didn't we just say yes? Why did you change your mind again? Besides, Dad's body ......"
However, before Shen Ping's words could be finished, he was severely interrupted by his mother: "I said, if you don't move, you don't move, don't say anything!" ”
After that, Zhang Lan directly hugged the iron box he had wrapped and walked outside.
Shen Ping looked at his mother in confusion, he was a little confused, he didn't understand, he just went out for such a while, why was his mother's attitude so different?
He then looked at the contents of his mother's arms, and suddenly realized something.
"Could it be because I opened the box and upset my mother?" Shen Ping muttered suspiciously.
Then he hurriedly ran forward and said with a smile: "Mom, I'm really embarrassed, I was just curious, what is in this box, but I can guarantee it, what is in it, I haven't seen it yet!" ”
Hearing Shen Ping's words, Zhang Lan suddenly stopped, then looked at Shen Ping with a serious face, and said indifferently: "In the future, I won't allow you to touch this thing again, otherwise, you won't have me as a mother!" ”
Mother's words directly made Shen Ping dumbfounded.
Mother rarely talks to herself like this, what's wrong today?
Did he open the iron box because he didn't ask for her consent?
Shen Ping was puzzled, and hurriedly continued to ask, "Mom, what's wrong with you?" Can you tell me......"
However, before Shen Ping finished speaking, he saw his mother walking away without looking back.
This couldn't help but make Shen Ping more and more confused in his heart.
What's going on here? When you leave, everything is okay? But as soon as she came back, it was as if her mother had completely changed herself.
Shen Ping couldn't help but sigh, the matter had come to this point, and he couldn't help it.
He could only send the moving company first, and then thought about finding a way to find out what happened to her mother today.
And I wanted to see what was in the iron box, but now it seems that I can't see it for the time being.
Thinking of this, Shen Ping couldn't help but feel a little depressed.
But at this moment, his mobile phone suddenly rang.
