A lucky koi fish was found while escaping from famine, and the whole family became prosperous

Chapter 66 Mysterious Wooden Box

If Old Lady Jiang had not had no choice, she would never have said these words to the younger generations.

In her opinion, when a person dies, it is like a light going out, and some things need to be let go.

But when it comes to Mr. Jiang, she just can't let it go.

A few days ago, when I told a few children about the past, I only talked about how the two of them met and got together outside the Great Wall, and never mentioned their past.

She was forced to go outside the Great Wall. It can be said that Grandpa Jiang was sold out by his family when he went outside the Great Wall.

Mr. Jiang is the fifth child in the Jiang family and the youngest son.

The Jiang family was so poor at that time that four or five people had to share a pair of pants.

Even in such a poor situation, Mr. Jiang was only concerned about his family and was willing to do hard and tiring work.

Just to earn a few more cents for the family.

His efforts did not earn him any gratitude from his family, who instead took them for granted.

It’s a pity that my family is still too poor.

Mr. Jiang's parents died of a cold, leaving behind five sons.

At that time, three sons of the Jiang family had already married, one was in the process of getting married, and no one even thought of arranging a marriage for the fifth son.

Subconsciously, those members of the Jiang family thought that if they arranged a marriage for Grandpa Jiang, he would not make money for them.

Those people were making their own plans, but Mr. Jiang was not a fool. After his parents died, he figured out a lot of things.

So he told his family about his idea and said he wanted to go out and try his luck.

Old Master Jiang was determined and no one could persuade him, which made his four brothers panic instantly.

The free labor is gone, and you still want to go out and make money? Who knows who the money goes to?
For a while, Lao Jiang's family talked about it a lot, and finally decided to sell the fifth child.

Men are not as easy to sell as women, especially men who are about to reach adulthood, who are even harder to sell.

Lao Jiang's family doesn't want to sell Lao Wu to someone else as a slave, for fear that one day he will gain power and come to settle accounts with them!

In order to sell the person further away and avoid causing trouble for the Jiang family, he racked his brains.

Finally, they came up with a cruel idea.

He used the excuse of finding a wife for Mr. Jiang, but in fact he sold the girl to a matchmaker.

This matchmaker specializes in the third-rate business, which is either brothels or prostitutes.

However, most of the men who go to brothels are miners.

Once you enter that place, you can only wait for death.

Old Master Jiang was knocked out by a packet of sleeping pills and was eventually sold to a matchmaker for ten taels of silver.

Mr. Jiang is unfortunate, but lucky at the same time.

He was already wary of his family members, so he only drank a little of the sweet soup that was sent to him, and woke up halfway through the journey.

After waking up, he found that there were many people who had the same experience as him.

Relying on his intelligence and talent, Mr. Jiang not only escaped danger successfully, but also rescued those who were in the same situation as him.

As for the matchmaker, she was injured and all the money she had on her was taken away.

Old Master Jiang was extremely disappointed with his family. Even after escaping the predicament, he did not choose to go back, but instead went far away.

When Old Mrs. Jiang talked about the past, she could only sigh and groan. Her heart was filled with endless hatred for the Jiang family members!

Not only have they bullied Mr. Jiang for many years, but they are also thinking of selling him to a black kiln. This is simply cutting off his livelihood!
Is this still a family?
She is so heartless, and her family members are almost the same.

Old Mrs. Jiang sighed, looked up at her sons who had gloomy faces, and finally spoke slowly.

"Mother doesn't ask for anything from you. She just hopes that we will have less connection with them in the future. I don't want any relationship with them at all! Just think that everyone on your father's side is dead!" After saying this, Old Lady Jiang let out a breath. Her cloudy eyes swept over her sons and she saw that they had expressed their opinions one after another.

"Don't worry, mom. We will naturally stand by your side!"

Boss Jiang and several others expressed their opinions at the same time.

Upon hearing this, Old Mrs. Jiang nodded with satisfaction.

Only Jiang Yunjin, who was sitting nearby, showed a trace of inquiry on her fair and tender face after hearing this story.

She was wondering about the purpose of that group of people coming today.

Could it be for that thing?
She remembered the wooden box that she and her father had dug out, and later moved it into the space to hide it from others.

Seeing that the family members had reached a consensus, no one mentioned the purpose of the other party's visit.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yunjin couldn't help but raise her white and tender little hand, facing everyone's gaze, and spoke softly: "Then why are they planning to attack our family?"

When these words were spoken, all members of the Jiang family were stunned.

Yes, they had forgotten about this matter. Why did the other party insist on taking their house and even offered three times the money? Why?
The Jiang family members looked puzzled, except for the eldest brother Jiang, whose face flashed a gleam of light. Then his eyes lit up, and he turned to look at his daughter and met the same pair of black eyes.

Both of them could see what was meant by each other's eyes.

It's that wooden box!

Thinking of this, Boss Jiang mentioned what he had forgotten.

"Maybe I should know why!" Boss Jiang said in a deep voice.

As soon as these words were spoken, they instantly attracted everyone's attention, except Jiang Yunjin, who seemed to be in a trance and did not hear them.

Boss Jiang did not hide it and quickly told Anjia that he had dug out a black wooden box when he was helping Xiao Yunjin turn the soil the next morning.

As soon as he finished speaking, the Jiang family members looked surprised, and when they heard that the thing was in Jiang Yunjin's room, they were even more surprised.

In the end, it was Old Lady Jiang who made the decision and went to Jiang Yunjin's room to see what was inside.

They also wanted to know what that group of people were thinking about.

Just go.

Jiang Yunjin took the lead in front, wiping her tender white hands on the hem of her skirt, wiping all the sweat in her palms onto the hem of her skirt.

She was very grateful.

Fortunately, I understood what my father meant in his eyes and moved the things in the space out. It was my first time to move my consciousness over a long distance, and it consumed a lot of energy.

Jiang Yunjin brought a group of people to his room in a mighty manner.

Fortunately, the room was large enough to accommodate this group of people.

Jiang Yunjin pointed to the wooden box in the corner and said to the Jiang family, "Hey, this is the wooden box that my father and I found that day."

Boss Jiang carried the wooden box to the table, and the door was closed from the inside.

Several children had already been sent away by Boss Jiang with an excuse and did not participate in the conversation from beginning to end.

Old Lady Jiang and the others looked at the wooden box in front of them and felt that it was ordinary, with a rusty padlock on it.

"Is this the wooden box you dug out in the yard?" asked Old Mrs. Jiang puzzledly.

Upon hearing this, Boss Jiang and Jiang Yunjin nodded in unison. This was the box that had been dug out.

The Jiang family looked at the wooden box in front of them, their thoughts racing.

The two daughters-in-law looked at each other tacitly, and felt that they had no say in the matter, so they could just watch.

On the contrary, Jiang Laoer took a rare look at the wooden box, and finally said slowly: "Should we hand this thing over to the government office? If we hand it over, can we still live here?"
