Chapter 99: Accidental Discovery
Xiaowei packed up his things very quickly and it didn't take long.
Jiang Qingwan said thank you to Third Aunt and Sanya, thanking them for coming to help.
There are still some scattered things in the separation agreement, such as bowls and chopsticks. These were fought over by the third grandfather and the eldest grandfather because of Qian Jinhua's fault, otherwise Qian Jinhua would definitely not be willing to take them out.
Third Aunt and Sanya helped her pack up these scattered things.
Jiang Qingwan went back to the small woodshed where she lived to pack her clothes.
After quickly packing a few shabby clothes, she suddenly remembered that the original owner had hidden a small box in the house.
This box should be regarded as the original owner's "treasure box", with some small things hidden inside.
She slowly moved one side of the wooden bed, and a mouse hole was exposed in the corner. The original owner blocked the hole with some straw to prevent the family from discovering the box.
Jiang Qingwan took away the straw and carefully took out a small wooden box from the hole.
The paint is peeling off the surface of the box, and it is about the size of two palms.
She stretched out her hand and weighed it. It was quite heavy.
After stroking the dust off the box and opening it, Jiang Qingwan found some small things inside.
In my memory, this box was given to the original owner by his father, and it should contain the most precious things of the original owner.
There are strange-shaped stones picked up from the river; leaf specimens sandwiched in candy wrappers;
Sandbags made by the original owner’s mother; headbands secretly purchased by his father and small animals woven from bamboo strips.
There are also several pictures torn from the matchbox, neatly placed on one side of the wooden box.
Jiang Qingwan was surprised to find that there were still a few cents in the box. She had the impression that these were the change secretly given to the original owner by the original owner's father.
The most valuable thing inside was a copper coin covered in patina. It was an ancient coin, and it looked very valuable. However, Jiang Qingwan didn't quite recognize the characters written on it, so she couldn't tell whether it was from that dynasty.
.
There is something carefully wrapped in red cloth in the corner.
Just when she wanted to take a closer look at the contents of the box, she suddenly heard a noise coming from the yard outside.
She was afraid that someone would suddenly come in at this moment, so she quickly closed the lid of the wooden box and threw the wooden box into the space.
I thought I'd better wait until I get home and have some time to take a closer look at what's inside.
After confirming that there should be nothing left behind, Jiang Qingwan took the bundle wrapped with clothes and sheets and went out.
At this time, Qian Jinhua in the yard was scolding the third aunt Zhao, all kinds of ugly words spewed out as if she didn't want money.
After listening to Qian Jinhua's words, Jiang Qingwan realized that the reason was that when her third aunt helped clear away the dishes, she took some that looked better.
Unexpectedly, Qian Jinhua came out with food and saw him.
Qian Jinhua took her anger out on Ms. Zhao, saying that she was eating everything inside and out, just to help the two white-eyed wolves evacuate the Jiang family.
Jiang Laoqi was really embarrassed and couldn't stand it any longer, so he pretended to scold him a few times before forcing Qian Jinhua to stop swearing.
The third brother is still at home, and the ungrateful look on this woman's mouth must have made the third brother laugh again.
Although he stopped cursing, he still couldn't stop Qian Jin from going back to the kitchen and replacing all the dishes and chopsticks that the third aunt took with cracked ones.
The village chief didn't want to talk about Jiang Laoqi's family affairs anymore. Seeing that Da Ya had already packed up his things, he asked his eldest son to move the food, clothes and other things to the cart outside the door.
