                          CHAPTER ELEVEN
                                 AUNT QIAN

After lunch, Qin Yu had to go to work, leaving Xia Lan alone at home to rest. Xia Lan counted her current property and found that she had more than 800 yuan!

    "Hehehe..." Feeling rich overnight, she secretly laughed in the room.

    Remembering that there was a small box, Xia Lan took it out of the cabinet. Seeing that the box was locked, she seemed to think of something and pulled out a red rope from her neck.

    This was what Xia's mother had asked her to wear since she was a child. She said it was to ward off evil spirits and never let her take it off.

    Xia Lan looked at the key on the red rope. Take the key to ward off evil spirits?

    Take the key and insert it into the keyhole. Turn it gently, and there is a "click" sound, and the lock is opened.

    Xia Lan took a deep breath, stretched out her hand and slowly opened the box. There was a piece of red cloth inside, which seemed to be wrapped with something.

    Turning over the red cloth, there were four wrapped strips side by side. Xia Lan took it out and weighed it in her hand. She vaguely guessed what it was.

    After taking out one, she found that there was actually another row underneath.

    Xia Lan widened her eyes in surprise.

    Xia Lan took out everything in the box and opened them one by one. There were

    eight gold bars, each one was two fingers wide and ten centimeters long, which means that each one weighed at least one pound.

    At the current price, it was twenty yuan per gram, so this one was worth a thousand yuan! There were eight bars here...

    Damn, this was the real overnight wealth!

    But what was even more amazing was Xia Lan's mother, how could she have so many gold bars?

    Xia Lan saw two pieces of paper under the box, one of which was written by her mother, and the other was actually a land deed?

    But now it was considered a piece of waste paper.

    After the land reform was completed, the government issued a land ownership certificate, and all land contracts before the land system reform were invalidated.

    Xia Lan opened the letter written by her mother, which stated her mother's identity.

    It turned out that Xia Lan's mother was the eldest daughter of a wealthy family, named Lou Wanyu.

    At that time, there was a war and people kept coming to ask for money. Xia Lan's parents were afraid that their daughter would be in danger, so they asked the nanny to take her back to her hometown.

    In order to protect the young lady from being found by outsiders, the nanny claimed to be her mother. In this way, Xia Lan's mother changed her name to Wu Wanyu with the nanny's surname and stayed in Xiahe Village.

    She tried to write letters home, but she could no longer contact her family. Later, she fell in love with Xia Lan's father, Xia Liang, and married Xia Liang.

    These gold bars were prepared by her father for her. She took out one to pawn, which was enough for their family to live a wealthy life.

    The remaining eight were left to her, so that she must not take them out unless necessary, so as not to be targeted.
