Siheyuan: Domineering life

Chapter 480 Self-defeating
For the first time, there were people rushing to do the dirty work of cleaning up the mud.

And it was completely voluntary, and the mood was very high.

One afternoon, a group of men, women and children played in the pond for two hours.

A total of three large yellow croakers and two small yellow croakers were picked up.

The biggest harvest was for Yang Anguo's family. He and Ma Xiangxiu each caught a large yellow croaker.

Next was Ma Juzi. This guy touched a small yellow croaker and a large yellow croaker in total, second only to Yang Anguo.

The only thing left was that Liu Zhi touched a small yellow croaker, and the others didn't touch anything.

Especially Wang Yuying, her face was very ugly.

My legs were not good, so I endured the severe cold and soaked in the water for two hours, but in the end I didn't catch anything.

She wasn't angry because she didn't catch it, she was angry because Yang Jun gave away his own things.

Originally, these five gold bars belonged to the Yang family, but because of Yang Jun's words, whoever caught them got them. In the end, they didn't even know what the gold bars looked like.

A small yellow croaker is about 3000 yuan, and a large yellow croaker is about [-] yuan. Especially for Yang Anguo and his wife, if they touch two large yellow croakers, it is [-] yuan.

3000 yuan is nothing. Ma Xiangxiu’s current salary is enough for her to live without food or drink for five years.

Now I'm fine, I have 3000 yuan all at once, and I will definitely live a more secure life in the future.

If you have money in your hand, don't panic.

These two gold bars can be passed down as family heirlooms to future generations.

When eating in the evening, Yang Jun's nose was full of the smell of mud.

The smell is in the air and cannot be dissipated for a long time.

Everyone enjoyed the meal very happily and did not disperse until after eight o'clock.

After everyone left, seeing that the lights were still on in Wang Yuying's room, Yang Jun walked over with a sandalwood box in his arms.

Standing at the door, Yang Jun looked inside through the light.

I saw Wang Yuying sitting in bed knitting a sweater.

While knitting, I would stop and sigh from time to time.

Yang Jun put the sandalwood box behind his back, knocked on the door and went in.

Wang Yuying looked up and saw him, hummed in her mouth, lowered her head and knitted a sweater and ignored him.

"Mom, let me guess why your boss is so angry."

Yang Jun sat beside the bed and said with a playful smile.

"Guess what your age is, I'm asking you knowingly."

Wang Yuying kicked him and then turned her face to the side.

"Mom, why bother? Look, your legs hurt again, don't they?"

"I'm happy, you don't care."

"You can't say that. It hurts you, but it hurts my heart."

"You still have the nerve to say that if you hadn't acted blindly, those gold bars would have belonged to our family."

Wang Yuying said, with a distressed look on her face.

Those were five gold bars, and they were just gone, which made me feel heartbroken.

"Mom, I didn't expect there to be so many gold bars in the pond. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have said that." Yang Jun consoled him.

"You're a prodigal, you pity our old Yang family's gold bars."

Wang Yuying scolded in distress.

"Mom, it's actually nothing to feel bad about. All they picked up was drizzle, and the big head is still at our old Yang's house."

"What do you mean?"

When Wang Yuying heard this, she immediately became energetic, grabbed Yang Jun's arm, and asked,

"You mean, there are treasures hidden in this house?"

You know, in ancient times there were no banks, and valuables at home would usually be hidden somewhere.

Places like walls, organs, under beds, and underground are all the best places to hide treasures.

Sometimes, because there are too many treasures and many places to hide them, it is common for the original owner of the yard to forget where the treasures were hidden.

The original owner of this courtyard had an ancestor who was an official. His family was wealthy and he must have had many treasures. Over time, he might have forgotten the place where the treasures were hidden.

Moreover, this yard has just been purchased, so it is normal to still have undiscovered treasures.

"Mom, it's not what you think."

Yang Jun took out the sandalwood box from behind and opened the lid, revealing a golden piece inside with thirty yellow croakers, large and small, neatly stacked.

"I found these gold bars on the rockery. I didn't say anything at the time and hid them secretly. I didn't expect that after cleaning up the mud today, five more gold bars were found. They must have fallen from the rockery."

"Well, what you said makes sense, that's really what happened."

Wang Yuying's eyes shone brightly, and she fondled the gold bar with both hands.

"If we had cleaned up the mud ourselves, those five gold bars would have been ours."

Yang Jun wanted to laugh when he heard this, but he couldn't, so he had to endure it.

Fortunately, there was this box of gold bars to soothe Wang Yuying's lost heart, otherwise she would have been unable to sleep for another month.

"Mom, you have to be content. It's ours and no one can take it away. It's not ours and you can't force it. This box of gold bars is enough for us to spend a lifetime."

"Yes, you are right. With the gold bars in this box, your mother and I can have a peaceful sleep tonight."

Wang Yuying closed the box and pushed it back.

"Take it back and hide it."

Yang Jun was stunned for a moment.

In fact, there were no gold bars on the rockery. He took these gold bars out of the space to comfort Wang Yuying.

Although Wang Yuying looks like a money obsessed person, she doesn't show any nostalgia at all when faced with such a gold bar.

In her opinion, as long as the gold bars are in their Yang family, she doesn't care who owns them.

"Mom, you should keep the gold bars."

Yang Jun stood up and said, "You see, I'm still young and I don't know how to live as a householder. You can keep this money for me first, and then you can pay it back to me when I get a wife in the future."

After saying that, Yang Jun turned around and left.

Half an hour passed.

Wang Yuying looked at Yang Jun's disappearing back and murmured to herself,

"What are you talking nonsense about? Have you ever married a wife?"

……

In the middle of the night, Yang Jun was woken up by Yi Qiushui. "Husband, what sound do you hear outside?"

"You're attracting rats."

Yang Jun was sleeping soundly when he was suddenly woken up. He was a little impatient and found an excuse to excuse her.

However, just as he continued to sleep, he realized something was wrong.

"Dong dong!"

The sound was like a knocking sound, not a rat's.

Yang Jun was immediately awakened.

While hurriedly getting dressed, he said to Yi Qiushui: "Stay in the house and don't go anywhere."

After saying that, he took a gun and went out.

He did not go out directly, but stood at the door of the living room and listened for a while.

It was discovered that the sound came from the east wing, and the light was still on in Wang Yuying's room.

Yang Jun simply opened the door and walked straight to the east wing.

Through the crack in the door, he found Wang Yuying prying the floor tiles with her head.

Since buying this yard, Yang Jun has not renovated the house. The ground is still the original square stone polished floor tiles.

At that time, there was no cement. This kind of floor tiles were made by mixing glutinous rice slurry and sand, and they could be pried open with just your head.

"Mom, if you don't sleep in the middle of the night, what are you doing?"

Yang Jun opened the door and asked.

Wang Yuying was startled, turned around and saw Yang Jun, and hurriedly waved,

"You are strong, help mom pry open these floor tiles."

After saying that, he gave the head in his hand to Yang Jun.

Yang Jun was cold and sleepy now. He just wanted to go back to sleep. In order to go back to his room and sleep as soon as possible, he had to brace himself to deal with Wang Yuying.

He took it, stuck his butt out, and pried open the floor tiles with a bang.

After prying open two floor tiles, Wang Yuying asked him to step back and started digging with a shovel.

The foundation below has become as hard as iron after years of trampling.

Seeing that Wang Yuying was struggling to dig, Yang Jun had to pry him a few times with his head.

"Mom, what are you doing?"

"What else can I do? I can't hide the gold bars."

When Yang Jun heard this, his head turned black.

I wanted to give Wang Yuying some gold bars so that she could have a peaceful sleep, but it turned out to be self-defeating. She spent most of the night worrying about hiding money.

These days, people are very conservative in their thinking. They don't trust banks. Money and other items can be deposited in banks when necessary. Treasures such as gold, silver, and jade can be hidden somewhere.

Wang Yuying is no exception.

She thought that she still had a few thousand dollars in hand, which was enough for daily expenses. As for these gold bars, she kept them as family heirlooms in case of emergencies.

Yang Jun saw that the sandalwood box containing the gold bars was put aside, ready to be buried directly in the ground.

"Oh my god, you don't want to bury it directly in the ground. Do you know how much this box is worth?"

"Is this...is this box more valuable than gold bars?" Wang Yuying asked in surprise.

When Yang Jun heard this, he couldn't laugh or cry.

This box is made of sandalwood, with dragon and phoenix patterns carved on it. It looks like it was passed down from the palace. Judging from the current situation, it must be hundreds of years old.

In terms of physical value, this box is even more valuable than the entire box of gold.

This box was originally obtained from Xu Damao and kept in space for replication. Now I don’t know how many there are.

"Forget it, it's not worth much, just bury it."

Yang Jun didn't bother to explain. He was afraid that the more he explained, the more trouble he would get.

Anyway, he has plenty of them in his space, so he doesn’t care about this one.

"No, the more you say that, the more valuable I think this box is."

Wang Yuying placed the gold bars in the box upside down on the bed, then found a piece of red cloth from the closet and wrapped the gold bars again.

"It's a prodigal thing. I didn't know this box was reserved for needles and thread."

When Yang Jun heard this, he couldn't laugh or cry.

You are not a human being inside and out. If he hadn't reminded you in time, you would have buried the box in it.

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

Yang Jun dug his head into the ground.

Wang Yuying said whatever he said, and Yang Jun could only listen and drink. He just wanted to finish his work as soon as possible and go back to sleep.

"Pooh!"

Yang Jun spit into the palm of his hand, rubbed his hands together, waved his head and continued to work.

The ground is just too hard.

"Ding!"

There was a clear sound of metal collision.

The head seemed to have hit something and was knocked back directly.

Yang Jun was stunned for a moment, squatted on the ground, and wiped away the broken soil with his hands.

A red and rusty iron box appeared in front of me.

Wang Yuying was also attracted by the sudden appearance of the box.

"Jun'er, why is there an iron box in this room?"

"do not know."

Yang Jun signaled her to step back, then waved his head to expand the area.

Not for a while.

An iron box about three meters long and two meters wide was completely exposed in front of Yang Jun.

I brushed off the dust on the box and pried it open, and the lock on the iron box fell off immediately.

Opening the box, Yang Jun was immediately stunned by what was in the box.

"Mom, I guess you have to suffer from insomnia again..."
