chapter xxx
Mo Zihan looked puzzled." There's something under the tree?"”
The old lady nodded and walked to the side of the courtyard to pick up the shovel. She shoveled twice, but it did not move.
Mo Zihan took the shovel and weighed it in his hand. Heh, it was quite heavy.
She placed the shovel vertically on the hard soil, stepped on the shovel head with one foot, lowered her arms, and shoveled hard!
The ground was slightly loosened. Because it was dead soil that had been stepped on all year round, it was not easy to shovel. Mo Zihan's physical strength was limited. He only relied on his strength and dexterity.
After about half an hour, the soil was only dug up an inch deep, and Mo Zihan's forehead was already sweating.
"Shovel again, shovel again!" The old lady pointed at the soil and wiped her sweat with a handkerchief.
Mo Zihan nodded and continued to work with the shovel.
After another hour, a small pit appeared on the ground. The shovel also touched a hard object, making it impossible to continue digging.
She quickly put the shovel aside and shone the flashlight inside. There was a dark red piece of wood covered with a layer of sand, but the exposed part could already be seen.
She frowned and looked up at the old lady, who nodded at her.
She stretched out her arm to take it. It seemed to be a wooden box, but it was stuck in the soil. Helpless, she could only find a small shovel and turn over the surrounding pieces to reveal a large gap.
The wooden box was not small. Mo Zihan did not move it with one hand. Of course, it had something to do with the fact that she had used up too much physical strength just now.
He reached out with both hands and took the wooden box out. Note that it was moving. The wooden box was the size of a 10-inch notebook and was quite heavy.
Mo Zihan carefully placed the wooden box on the ground. He was so tired that he sat on the ground. Panting, she looked up and asked," What is this?”
The old lady reached out and took out the necklace from her neck. It was a red string with a small key-shaped pendant tied to it. The pendant seemed to be made of iron. It was worthless and inconspicuous.
But now, Mo Zihan's pupils constricted because she already knew what would happen next.
Sure enough, the old lady took the necklace off her neck, brushed the dust off the box, and then put the key into the lock of the wooden box with great effort.
Mo Zihan narrowed his eyes at the wooden box. This box should be an old item and worth a lot. The things inside were definitely not light.
When the box was opened, the golden color dazzled Mo Zihan's eyes.
It was a box of gold!
There were all kinds of gold jewelry inside, and the old gold looked more beautiful than the gold sold in the market. The golden color seemed to have a faint red color, which was eye-catching.
"These things were left behind by your grandfather. They are estimated to be worth 200,000 to 300,000 yuan. Originally, we said that we would only use them when something big happened to our Mo family.”The old lady shook her head and sighed.
"Why didn't you take it out before?" If she had this money, the old lady would definitely have no problem with her retirement. Why would she have to be pushed around like this?
Old Mrs. Han pouted." If I had taken out these things earlier, those ingrates would have torn them apart for the gold! I originally thought that I wouldn't tell them even if I died! In the future, whoever dug this thing out would get a big bargain! But now that the house was about to be demolished, what if the land was dug up? Sigh!”
Mo Zihan smiled and said," What do you plan to do with this gold?”
"I'm not rich, so I'll give this to you.”The old lady touched the box full of sand and said with a smile," You have to keep this box for me. This is the box my mother gave me for my dowry.”
In the middle of the night, the grandfather and grandson squatted under the big banyan tree and whispered around the small box of gold.
He moved the gold into the house and Mo Zihan hid it under his bed. That night, she did not sleep.
How should he use the gold? Doing business? She didn't seem to have this skill.
Forget it, he had to solve the problem at hand first. The days would always get better. After all, he couldn't eat a fatty in one bite.
The next day after school, Mo Zihan was ready to go home and tell her parents about the gold. She had already discussed this matter with the old lady in the morning. She did not have any objections. She only said that the gold was given to Mo Zihan and she would deal with it herself.
However, as soon as she entered the house, she saw Wang Fengying walk up quickly." Zihan, your Third Uncle is awake and wants to see you!"”
Mo Zihan was stunned. Wang Fengying asked suspiciously," Why did he want to see you? Could it be that Boss had come looking for him about Mo Duan being beaten up?”
After that incident, Mo Junqiang's family no longer had any contact with Mo Junbao's family. In fact, it could be said that after the chair incident, these relatives had completely cut off contact with Mo Junbao's family. The second brother, Mo Junhua, had not appeared until now.
Mo Junbao raised his eyes and said," What can he do? That brat Mo Duan, he said those kinds of disgraceful words. It's already good enough that I didn't beat him up! Zihan, you did the right thing!"
Wang Fengying turned around and glared at him." You only know how to talk! I can't do anything! When have I ever seen Third Brother with your eyes closed?”
Mo Junbao threw the cigarette butt away." Do you know how to talk, old woman?!" Are you insulting her father in front of the child?"
Surprisingly, Wang Fengying did not retort. Instead, she said to Mo Zihan," Pack up. Your third uncle has been hospitalized for so many days. You haven't gone to see him. He called you today. If you don't go now, it won't be the case!"”
Mo Zihan nodded and looked at Grandma who was sitting in the yard in a daze." Are you going?"”
"Your grandmother's legs are not strong. Why are you tormenting her?”Wang Fengying scolded.
Unexpectedly, the old lady reached out and tied her hair. She stood up and said," Let's go and take a look."”
"Eh? " Mom, you…" Wang Fengying's eyes widened. Was it strange that she ignored everyone who spoke to the old lady, but Mo Zihan was the one who spoke.
Mo Zihan smiled and went forward to support the old lady. She knew that the old lady didn't say anything, but she had always been thinking about Mo Junyi. Wang Fengying and Mo Junbao had always thought that the old lady had dementia and did not care about what she thought. Although Wang Fengying served the old lady well and was very respectful to her, they still did not think of this. Every time they went to the hospital, they did not bring the old lady along.
The old lady had a stubborn temper and felt that it was troublesome for others to take her along, so she naturally would not ask for it.
Thus, the family of four hailed a taxi and rushed to the hospital. Wang Fengying bought some fruits by the roadside and made the stingy Mo Junbao nag a little.
When they arrived at the hospital, Mo Junyi was already awake. He was half-naked and bandaged. His face was a little pale.
Mo Zihan followed his parents into the ward. Mo Junyi suddenly turned his head and looked past Mo Junbao and Wang Fengying. His eyes were fixed on Mo Zihan!
