Chapter 12: Family Heirloom (3)
The Xu residence has a history of two to three hundred years, and the last large-scale renovation has been more than 300 years now, so when was this thing hidden here?And who hid it?

At this time, Mother Xu walked into the yard carrying a large bag of sanitary napkins.

Xu Jiaqi hurried to the window and stretched his head out, "Mom! Mom? You come up, now! Yes... Hurry up!"

Mother Xu didn't know why, so she put down the big bag of sanitary napkins and hurried up to the second floor on the west.

As soon as she went upstairs, Mother Xu saw her daughter staring at a pool of water on the ground in a daze, beside a pried square wooden board and a dusty and hard cloth bag!

In astonishment, Mother Xu's eyes straightened, "This, this..."

With her mother staying by her side, Xu Jiaqi became more courageous, so she told her mother how she found the cloth bag.

Then, Xu Jiaqi carefully fiddled with the cloth bag with a clip, tossing it over and over again... After a while, he finally opened the old cloth bag that was starting to stiffen.

Out of the cloth bag rolled out more than a dozen silver objects, including small silver clasps, silver ingots, and some hollowed-out and carved silver jewelry.

Mother Xu's eyes suddenly widened!
She hurried to the window and closed the window with a bang.

Xu Jiaqi was taken aback by her actions.

"The money must not be revealed in vain!" Mother Xu whispered to her daughter.

Then, she immediately took out her mobile phone and called Dad Xu, saying mysteriously, "...Old Xu, come back quickly! There is something wrong with our family!"

Xu Jiaqi has black lines...

Dad Xu will be back soon.

A family of three held a family meeting around the cloth bag.

"Old Xu, do you remember what the fourth wife said when she was still alive? She said that at the end of the Qing Dynasty, the main building in the backyard of our house was the residence of the old lady, and the second floor on the east was the wife of the big house. The room on the west second floor is the room of the second aunt's wife..." Xu's mother muttered, "It stands to reason that the wife of the eldest room must have a lot of gold, silver and jewelry, but why have we never been on the second floor east? What did you find, but this is hidden on the second west floor?"

Xu's father also took those few silver picks and looked at them over and over again.

"In the past, these shouldn't be rare items. I guess they weren't left by some concubine. It's very likely that the maid hid them here... But since there are on the second floor on the west, maybe there should be on the second floor on the east. Yes, the main building where we live might have one too..." Dad Xu said, "You should keep these things first, and we will take them out in a few days and ask someone to estimate the value. If they are valuable, we will sell the silver. Kaizi, go to the city and buy a house for Jiaqi, if it’s worthless, let’s keep it as a family heirloom!”

Xu's mother is also planning to do so.

For some reason, Xu Jiaqi suddenly smelled some very strange smells, and the longer it took, the more troubled she felt in her chest; she took several deep breaths, trying to suppress the feeling of boredom in her heart...but she was so As soon as I took a deep breath, I immediately felt that the stuffy smell became stronger.

Xu Jiaqi frowned, and wanted to stand up and walk to the window to take a breath of fresh air, but before she could reach the window, she vomited violently with a "vomit".

Xu's parents were taken aback!
Xu's mother blamed Xu's father and said, "...I don't know whose foot wrap this cloth is, it stinks to death! Why are you still holding it over and over again to see it! This is good, it will smoke our daughter, right? Come on!" Take it and burn it! Hey, you should clean up those silverware first and put it away for me..."

With that said, Xu's mother helped Xu Jiaqi down the west second floor, and then went up to clean up the ground with a bucket and a mop...
