Chapter 20 Carved Rosewood Bed
Xu Manru on the other end of the phone was so angry that she almost smashed the phone. Since her old man died, she hardly ever went back home. All the fields and mountains under her name were rented out, and she only earned about ten yuan a year, and the rent had to be paid to her by the tenants who came to the city.
Although she looked down on the countryside, ten yuan was still a lot of money and Xu Manru was reluctant to spend it.
"Captain, did Qingqing say anything when she returned?"
Xu Manru suppressed her anger. It must be the rebellious girl's fault. Otherwise, why would the captain suddenly go crazy? This rebellious girl robbed her house and wanted to steal her land. Why didn't God strike this beast to death!
"Stop talking nonsense, come back within three days to transfer the ownership, I'm not kidding you!"
The captain snorted coldly and hung up the phone.
"What did Xu Manru say?"
The captain's wife asked with concern.
"Of course she doesn't want to, but she has no choice!"
The captain spoke in a strong tone. Although he was just a small village official, his words were final in the village. Xu Manru's household registration was still in the village, so she had to listen to him, otherwise she would be kicked out!
"You should pay attention to this matter. If it weren't for Doctor Xu, our eldest son would have died. When Doctor Xu was dying, he was most worried about Qing girl. We can't just watch this girl being bullied."
The captain's wife gave him instructions, and the captain nodded. He would definitely stand on Qing girl's side.
Xia Qingqing never came back once in these years, not even to visit the grave on Qingming Festival. The team leader was very angry and felt that Xia Qingqing was as conscienceless as her mother. But now he knew that it was all Xu Manru's fault.
Doctor Xu raised Qing as if she were a treasure. When he died, he was still holding the girl's hand and couldn't close his eyes. He had originally planned that with the help of the whole village, he would surely be able to raise the girl.
But Xu Manru came back and spoke more beautifully than she sang, with tears in her eyes. At that time, he thought, no matter how unreliable Xu Manru was, she was still his biological mother. She couldn't just ignore her own daughter, right?
That's why the captain agreed and let Xu Manru take Xia Qingqing away, but she never came back.
He felt very guilty. Doctor Xu saved his eldest son's life, but he failed to live up to Doctor Xu's trust.
When his eldest son was eight years old, he went up the mountain to collect bird eggs and fell from a tree. He died on the spot. The children who played with the eldest son wanted to carry him down the mountain, but they happened to meet Doctor Xu who was collecting herbs on the mountain and stopped the children.
Doctor Xu gave the old man acupuncture and bloodletting, and also fed him life-saving medicine, and the old man finally came back to life.
The team leader is still scared when he thinks about it now. If Dr. Xu hadn’t been there at the time, those children would have had no idea and would have definitely carried the person down the mountain, and the eldest brother would definitely not have survived.
Moreover, Doctor Xu practiced medicine in the village and saved countless people. Almost everyone in the village had received his kindness, but they failed to take good care of Qingqing. It was so shameful!
Xia Qingqing had no idea that her words would cause such a big stir in the village. At this time, she was digging for treasure in the house she was selling.
In her previous life, Xu Manru wanted to demolish the old house and build a new one, and then she found the treasure. So Xia Qingqing didn't know the exact location of the treasure. She dug holes like a groundhog, her body was covered with mud, and her face became like a harlequin cat.
"Phew... I'm so exhausted!"
Xia Qingqing sat on the ground in a rage. Both of her hands were covered with blisters, some of which were broken and burning with pain. But the treasure was nowhere to be found, and she didn't know where her grandfather had hidden it.
"so stupid!"
Ba Ye's voice was filled with naked contempt. It flew into the house at some point and landed on Xia Qingqing's head. This bird ancestor particularly liked to lie on Xia Qingqing's head. If she hadn't strongly objected, Ba Ye would probably have built a nest on her crown.
"You are extremely smart, you come to dig?"
Xia Qingqing retorted unhappily that if she had X-ray vision, she would be able to tell where the treasure was hidden at a glance.
Mr. Ba snorted arrogantly and flew out of the house. Xia Qingqing didn't move. She didn't have the strength to get up.
"Don't you want baby?"
Mr. Ba turned around and shouted, the amethyst chain on his claws was particularly shining.
"want!"
Xia Qingqing suddenly became energetic and climbed up. As long as there were treasures, she could dig another 500 holes.
Mr. Ba took her to the storage room, which was covered with dust and many spider webs. She would inhale a lot of dust every time she breathed, and there was a musty smell in the air.
Xia Qingqing took out a mask from the space and put it on, then started digging at the location pointed out by Mr. Ba. After digging only one foot deep, the shovel hit a hard object. She immediately became energetic and shoveled the soil carefully.
After a while, a jar was revealed. It was as big as a rice jar and covered with several layers of oilcloth. Xia Qingqing took out the jar and removed the oilcloth. There were indeed gold bars and Yuan Datou coins inside. Although there were not as many treasures as the Yang family, it was still a considerable fortune.
Xia Qingqing put the jar into the space and filled the hole.
"There is still one!"
Mr. Ba flew to the room where Xia Qingqing lived when she was a child and landed on the big bed.
This large carved bed looks very old. Xia Qingqing has slept on it since she could remember. She remembers that although the bed was dark, it had a pleasant fragrance and was very hard, so hard that even a knife could not cut it.
Xia Qingqing reacted quickly and asked in surprise: "Is this bed a treasure?"
She walked over and gently stroked the big bed. It was black, fragrant, and still very awake. Could it be——
"Rosewood?"
Xia Qingqing looked surprised. An inch of rosewood is worth an inch of gold. If this big bed was made of rosewood, it would be worth a lot of money!
"Look at how capable you are. You think a little red sandalwood is a treasure!"
The Eighth Master's little golden eyes were full of contempt. In the past, he would have disdained these woods as firewood.
"Yes, yes, that's all I can do."
Xia Qingqing happily put away the big bed, leaving a large empty space in the room.
She went to the study again and collected the books and notes left by her grandfather, then went to fetch water and clean the house. She would stay here tonight and return to the city tomorrow morning.
As the sky darkened, wisps of smoke rose from the village and the aroma of food wafted into the air.
Xia Qingqing bought some meat buns before she came, and put them in the space so they wouldn't get cold. She planned to eat a few of them for dinner.
"Green girl!"
Someone called her outside, and Xia Qingqing went out. She had just taken a shower and her hair was still wet.
"Aunt Four, what's up?"
The one who came was the captain’s wife, who was the fourth in line at home.
"Come to my house for dinner. Have you washed your hair?"
The captain's wife enthusiastically pulled her hand. Looking closely, Xia Qingqing's face skin was white and tender, smoother than a freshly peeled egg. Such a good girl was ruined by Xu Manru.
The captain's wife became angrier the more she thought about it, and she looked at Xia Qingqing with more pity. Poor child, her life was so miserable!
"I cleaned the house and there's a lot of dust on my head. Fourth Aunt, I have food to eat tonight. I won't bother you anymore!"
Xia Qingqing refused. She hadn't prepared anything and it would be impolite to go there empty-handed.
"You have nothing here, what are you going to eat? Let's go, there's not much food at home, just make do with what you have!"
Second Aunt was very strong and she dragged her like a piglet, and soon they arrived at the team leader's house.
