Chapter 199 Treasure Hunt in the Old House

Su Qian smiled with crooked eyebrows and said very cooperatively: "Uncle Xu is so proud, it's hard to buy a sleeper ticket."

Xu Zhihui was very helpful, "Fortunately, it's easy to get things done if you have acquaintances."

Susie looked at the fare and quickly dug into her pocket to get the money.

Xu Zhihui watched her take out a stack of unity and waved her hand, "Forget it, there's no need to give the money."

Thinking about it, he hasn't done anything for Susie in the past ten years. Susie is in the country now and her life is hard. She can improve her life if she has more money.

Su Qian didn't expect Xu Zhi to be so generous. The four soft sleeper tickets together cost more than two hundred. She sincerely thanked her again, "Thank you, Uncle Xu."

Xu Zhihui hesitated to speak.

I didn't think so before, but now I always feel that "Uncle Xu" sounds very harsh.

She is obviously her biological daughter, but she still calls him uncle!

However, Xu Zhihui did not dare to ask Su Qian to change her name now. In the past few days, he had been criticized several times by Su Qian. Su Qian also refused without hesitation about changing her name. He could also see that Su Qian was interested in changing her name.

He has no attachment to this family at all.

Xu Zhihui could only sigh silently in his heart. It was difficult to win back his daughter's heart. Forget it, just take your time.

He stood up and said, "I'm leaving then. Get some rest early."

Su Qian said very obediently: "Uncle Xu, I will take you out."

After sending Xu Zhihui to the gate of the guest house downstairs, Xu Zhihui told him, "I have to go to work the day after tomorrow in the morning, so I don't have time to see you off. Please be careful on your way."

"By the way, where are your grandparents-"

Xu Zhihui thought for a moment and took out twenty yuan from his pocket, "I don't have time right now. You can use it to buy some New Year's goods and say I gave it to them."

Susie pushed the money back and said, "Okay, don't worry, I will definitely handle the things you asked me to do."

Xu Zhihui nodded and said, "Remember to write a letter." Then he left.

Su Qian walked upstairs, knocked on Qiao Mu's room door, took out the tickets in her pocket when she entered, "No need to queue, Uncle Xu bought the tickets for me."

She gave one piece to Qiao Mu and another to Uncle Liao.

Zhu Zhicheng stretched out his hand and said, "How much is this ticket? I'll give it to you."

Su Qian handed him the ticket, "I don't want any money, Uncle Xu will confiscate my money."

Zhu Zhicheng was shocked when he saw the ticket price, sixty-two yuan! This soft sleeper is too expensive! The hard seat only costs more than twenty yuan!

He thought for a while, and the ticket price must be given to Susie. However, when he got on the train, he could ask the passengers in the hard seats if they wanted to change to a sleeper berth, and just pay the difference.

Uncle Liao was shocked when he saw the fare. He had taken the train so many times and only took the sleeper berth twice when he came out with Susie. He really didn't expect that the soft sleeper was so expensive.

Su Qian paid for all his expenses along the way, and he felt that he could not help much by coming here this time. Originally, he planned to have a good fight with the Taoist priest who harmed Su Qi.

However, Uncle Liao didn't say anything about giving money. The fate between him and Su Qian lasted for a long time, not at this moment.

Zhu Zhicheng counted sixty-two yuan and handed it to Su Qian.

Susie pushed back, "Brother Zhu, you really don't need it."

"If I spent money, then I would accept the money, but I didn't spend a penny. It was all Uncle Xu's money. If you give me more money, wouldn't I become a ticket seller?"

She smiled and said, "Just accept Uncle Xu's favor."

When Zhu Zhicheng heard what Su Qian said, he knew that the money would not be given out.

Moreover, as a result, his previous idea of ​​selling soft sleeper tickets would no longer work.

There is no reason to exchange free things for money.

Zhu Zhicheng had no choice but to put the ticket away, secretly noted Su Qian's favor in his heart, and couldn't help but sigh, "Actually, Uncle Xu is quite good to you."

At least much better than his parents.

Susie smiled and didn't refute.

How should I put it, money is not what Xu Zhihui cares about, all he cares about is his future.

However, Su Qian really accepted Xu Zhihui's love today.

Susie gave her the ticket and went back to her room to rest.

After breakfast the next day, Uncle Liao asked Zhu Zhicheng to take him around. Susie and Qiao Mu went to the old house of Qiao Mu's family.

The old house was in the suburbs. The two of them went to the station to buy tickets and took almost an hour to get there.

It's the off-season, the weather is cold, and no one is walking around outside.

Qiao Mu held Su Qian's hand, and they walked for a while in the village without meeting anyone.

Qiao Mu pointed to an old house with blue bricks and black tiles in front of him, "That's right there."

Walking closer, Susie saw a lock hanging on the courtyard door.

Qiao Mu took out the key and opened the lock, then pushed the door open and went in.

The yard was overgrown with weeds, almost covering the ground.

Susie was a little afraid to put her foot down. Fortunately, it was winter. If it were spring or summer, there was no telling what might be hidden in the weeds here.

Qiao Mu bolted the door and pulled Susie forward.

Susie asked curiously, "How long has it been since this house was occupied?"

Qiao Mu said: "It's been seven or eight years. This place has been empty since my grandma passed away."

"I paid a visit before going to Guangxi Province and changed some locks."

He pulled Susie around to the back of the house, took out a knife, and carefully pried out a brick from the bottom of the wall.

The bricks were a little loose. After some bricks were pulled out, Qiao Mu took out the bricks, then pulled out a brick next to it, and then took out an iron box from the hole in the wall.

The iron box was just a colorful biscuit box. Qiao Mu opened the box and there were several stacks of bundled banknotes inside.

Susie was shocked when she saw it. The green ones were U.S. dollars. There were hundreds of them with a face value of 100, which amounted to tens of thousands of dollars. There were even more Hong Kong dollars. There were three stacks. Judging from the thickness, each stack should be 10,000.

In addition to US dollars and Hong Kong dollars, there are also some jewelry inside.

At that time, Qiao Mu's father was also worried that these U.S. and Hong Kong dollars would become bad evidence, so he decided to hide them.

Qiao Mu took out a stack of dollars and handed them to Susie, "Are these enough?"

Susie was startled and didn't answer, "There's no need for so many, two are enough."

Qiao Mu thought for a moment, took out ten and stuffed them into his arms, then tied the banknotes and put them into the box.

Then cover the box, stuff it into the wall hole, and finally stuff the bricks back in.

Susie looked aside, pointed to the wall and said, "There is still a little crack here."

Qiao Mu got some soil and carefully filled the gaps.

The two of them stood up. Susie looked at some marks on the ground and walked around with the arbor, stepping on it until nothing seemed to be around. Then the two of them walked out of the backyard.

Walking to the front yard, Susie looked at the house. This three-bay house looked quite deep and large.

Qiao Mu also stopped and took a look, feeling a little emotional, "My uncle and my father were both born here."

"I heard from my dad that we used to have hundreds of acres of land in our family. Later, we sold it one after another so that my uncle and my dad could study and work for the revolution. In the end, there were only a few acres of land left."
