Chapter 909 A surprise
"Oh, but when they arrived here, they were only wrapped in a piece of cloth. Where did they get the money?" Aunt Qin was curious.
"How would I know? I think they are all good people and won't do anything bad. This is rice and flour, both of the best quality. Hide them quickly and eat them slowly later." Grandpa Zhang said, looking at the weight, one bag weighs fifty kilograms.
A bag of rice and a bag of flour, both of the best quality.
Aunt Qin knew that once the person left, it would be safe for everyone. The couple were staying with them, and if a big shot came to the town, they would not be able to protect themselves. So it was right for them to leave.
"Put it in this secret compartment." Aunt Qin instructed Uncle Zhang to put the things in the small granary where she stored grain.
After Uncle Zhang put all his things away, he sat down on the bamboo chair.
He picked up the kettle on the table and started drinking it.
"Drink some water, I'll bring the meal over." Aunt Qin was in a good mood now that she had food.
Our life is usually very tight, so these days I was thinking of asking the old man to sell things in town to exchange for some food.
I didn't expect to get so much food at once. I've never stored so much food at once in my life.
There is no such a large amount of food stored in the entire village.
She was in a good mood and brought the porridge to the table.
"You eat, I'll go clean up the room." Aunt Qin was in a good mood now, and went to the room where the young couple had lived.
Humming a tune.
I am also happy in my heart, because these two are grateful and repay the kindness they have received.
He is so capable that he can get money to buy things for them so quickly, and buy so much at once.
I am more convinced that they are not ordinary people.
She picked up the pillow and hit it.
Something caught my eye.
She suddenly froze in place.
"Old man, come here quickly." Aunt Qin spoke with trembling voice.
The old man drank up a big bowl of porridge in just a few gulps.
"Don't be so startled in broad daylight. It's scary. What happened?" Uncle Zhang walked into the inner room and saw Aunt Qin's expression. He thought she was possessed by evil spirits.
He wanted to take off his straw sandals and hit Aunt Qin with them.
Aunt Qin pointed to the head of the bed and asked the old man to look for himself.
She thought she was seeing things.
"Old man, am I seeing things? Are those gold leaves?" Aunt Qin spoke with a trembling voice.
The old man went up and covered Granny Qin's mouth: "Don't say it, it will be bad if others hear it."
He quickly reached out and picked it up. There were two leaves.
I bit it with my teeth and found it was pure gold. It was of very high purity and had no impurities. This kind of gold is the most valuable.
He had never seen it in his life.
He stuffed the things into the old woman's hands and said, "Hide these things." He didn't want anyone to know.
Once people find out, they will definitely be targeted.
These are two large gold leaves, very delicate.
At first glance, it is obvious that only wealthy families can have it.
Mrs. Qin was so excited that she was shaking a little.
With trembling hands, he quickly stuffed the gold leaves into his arms.
She went out.
I looked around and saw no one.
At this time, most people are still selling things at the market and have not returned yet.
Da Hu and Er Hu, who live next door, also went to the town to sell seafood.
"You came back so quickly this time, did you meet Bao Yuan?" Mrs. Qin said to Uncle Zhang.
"Well, yes. The Du family thought our things were good, so they bought them all. But Madam Xiao went with me to sell them, and I was worried that she would be in danger, so I told them that the Du family had many concubines, and that Mr. Du's people were not picky about food or meat. As long as a girl was pretty, he would take her home to be his concubine." Uncle Zhang and Aunt Qin said.
Sitting in the main room, he picked up the kettle and drank the water.
"Why are you talking about this? We can't afford to offend Mr. Du. We are just small fishermen." Mrs. Qin thought her old man was talking too much.
Uncle Zhang frowned, "What do you think I mean? Our daughter is beautiful, so she went to the county to be someone's concubine. If she lives well, can she not come back to see us? The Xiao couple are good people. I haven't been home these few days. Look at the firewood in the house, they all got it from them. And the food and gold leaves are all rewards given by them. We should not be ungrateful. They are not ordinary people. If we don't remind them, after something happens, neither of us will be in a good situation. I told you this matter, at least I feel good in my heart and have no regrets."
Uncle Zhang looked at his old wife and sometimes he was afraid of things happening.
If you are not afraid of things, they will not exist.
Granny Qin pressed her arms, feeling a little guilty: "I know. I'm just worried that our lives will be difficult because the Du family is targeting us."
Uncle Zhang looked at the sky outside.
Even if they work hard for their whole lives, they may not be able to earn enough gold leaves.
"Old woman, let's pack up now and go to Zhucha Island. No one lives on that island. If we go there, even if someone wants to look for us, they won't think that we've gone there." Uncle Zhang wanted to avoid the limelight for a while.
"Ah, what will we do at home after we go to the island? We have so many things." Aunt Qin was reluctant to leave anything at home.
I'm not at home and something is lost, what should I do?
"We'll only be gone for a month or so. When we get to the island, we'll just build a thatched hut to live in. We'll be able to survive for a month at least. If someone comes, can we keep the golden leaf?" Grandpa Zhang also felt that one golden leaf could be used to make many thatched huts.
What's the difference of one month?
"Why go to an island? Let's go to the county and say we are going to visit our daughter. We can rent a house somewhere to live in. That's fine. Life on the island is so bad. It's better to go visit our daughter. I miss her." Aunt Qin felt sad when she mentioned her daughter.
Even though the old woman is older now, one can still see the beauty she had when she was young.
"Okay, let's go to the county. Let's pack our bags now." Uncle Zhang also missed his daughter. That damn girl was so heartless.
After getting married, I have never come to see them.
Seeing that the old man agreed to go look for his daughter, Aunt Qin excitedly packed up the package.
"Then I'll take out all the food, send some to my daughter, and leave some for us to eat." As she said this, she asked Uncle Zhang to pack up the car and get some grass.
Cover everything on that wheelbarrow.

Gu Yao ate and drank well and touched her stomach.
"So full!"
"Now that we're full, let's walk around the county and see if there are any good things. We can buy some, maybe they'll be useful." Xiao Zaiye looked at the sky outside.
It's two or three in the afternoon, it's still early.
