Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Mystery Under the Bed

On the sixth day after the funeral of the second grandmother, the village chief called Linliu and asked Linliu to go back to her parents' village to make arrangements.

Lin Liu returned to the village with a puzzled mood and met the village chief. The old village chief took out the second grandmother's will and said to Lin Liu: "There is one thing, because I was busy, I forgot to explain it to you, that is, the will that the old man asked me to write on his behalf, and she pressed the handprint. Originally, the property of the five guarantee households was owned by the village committee, but we had to carry out the old man's will. ”

Lin Liu asked, "How is the will written?" I don't want the inheritance of the second grandmother. ”

The village chief said: "If you don't want it, you will violate the old man's last wishes, and the old man's spirit in heaven will not be at peace." Lin Liu nodded silently.

The village chief said: "The old man has six black bowls, and he asks you to accept them, but the old man did not tell you about this before his death, because he was afraid that others would suspect you indiscriminately, that your reputation would be damaged, and that he would cause family disputes." The old man's heart is very fine. ”

Lin Liu said: "What is the origin of the old man's black bowl? ”

The village chief said: "The old man's husband worked as a clerk for the division commander of the Kuomintang in his early years, and when the division commander abandoned the city and fled, his husband took these black bowls from the division commander's mansion. ”

Lin Liu asked: "There are so many things, he doesn't take them, he takes these black bowls, it can be seen that this is not an ordinary thing, it must have a certain value." ”

The village chief said, "You're right, but I don't know what kind of treasure it is. After speaking, the village chief removed a stone slab from under the old man's bed, and there was an earthen trough under the stone slab, and a dark red wooden box was hidden in the earthen trough. Then he opened the wooden box, revealing two stacks of bowls, three in each, delicate as fat and black and shiny.

Lin Liu suddenly said in confusion: "Village Chief, if you don't tell me about this, take it yourself, no one knows?" Why do you want to give it to me? ”

The village chief said solemnly and sincerely: "Indeed, I don't tell you, no one knows, maybe I can sell it for a lot of money, which is higher than my lifetime income!" However, in the future, if I ask myself, I will feel guilty and uneasy, and I will not be at peace day and night, and in severe cases, I may lose my life. Besides, this is a lonely old man's trust in me and a recognition of my character, and I can't live up to the old man's spirit in heaven. I am still an old party member, I joined the party with a pure heart, and I still do not change my original beliefs. Just like Yue Fei, whom you admire, he has never changed his belief in 'serving the country with loyalty'. That's what a person believes in. ”

Lin Liu was moved by the spiritual character of the old village chief, and the corners of his mouth twitched. She sprouted a kind of understanding that among the people, at the bottom, there has always been a kind of original simplicity and a lofty state of life.

These six black bowls, identified by the cultural relics department, are Wujin bowls, which belong to rare treasures and are priceless. Linliu donated to the museum, and the government gave Linliu a symbolic reward of 100,000 yuan in cash. Linliu took out 50,000 yuan, donated 30,000 yuan to the nursing home, donated 20,000 yuan to the village primary school, and the remaining 50,000 yuan was used as his own entrepreneurial fund.

The antique dealer said to Linliu's mother-in-law: "If Linliu doesn't donate the Wujin bowl, I will pay 500,000 yuan to buy it, but it's a pity!" The mother-in-law's eyes widened and she slapped her thigh in anger. When he saw Lin Liu, he said angrily: "Is there a stupid daughter-in-law like you in ten miles and eight towns?" Take the good stuff and throw it out, you have a sick brain, right? From now on, I won't show you the baby! With that, he angrily kicked a plastic basin to pieces. Lin Liu didn't defend herself, so she went to the town to buy a good set of clothes for her mother-in-law, bought a few catties of mutton, and honored her mother-in-law. The mother-in-law was a little relieved. In the summer, I also wanted to be angry with Linliu, but when I saw that Linliu bought something for my mother, I pressed it and didn't make a fire.
