1959Siheyuan, a Turnaround

At this moment, Li Dahe also reacted. He kept pulling Li Dajiang's sleeve and said in a low voice: "Brother, keep your voice down. Are you two going to talk about such a big thing on the street?"

Li Weiguo stole a glance at his father and said cautiously, "There are ten. That... I sold one and got some money."

Li Dajiang was so angry that he stamped his feet and shouted, "You are so bold! Where are those things hidden? Tell me!"

Li Weiguo quickly responded, "In my hometown. I've been out a lot these days, and that's why I buried them in the mountains in my hometown."

Hearing this, Li Dajiang's face became even gloomier, and he gritted his teeth and said, "You're still burying it on the mountain? You're so bold! You dare to hide such a big thing from your family. This matter is no longer something I can handle. Go home and let your grandparents talk to you!"

Li Weiguo was panicking at this moment, but he still tried to remain calm and said, "Dad, I really didn't hide it from you on purpose. I was just afraid that everyone would worry if I told them. So I wanted to deal with it before telling everyone, didn't I?"

Li Dajiang snorted coldly: "You still think you're right? You just treat such a valuable thing so casually. Let's see how you're going to explain to your grandparents tonight!" After that, he walked away without looking back.

Li Weiguo staggered and followed behind anxiously, while Li Dahe whispered to him, "Weiguo, you've really gotten into big trouble this time."

Li Weiguo had no choice but to follow behind silently towards home.

The three of them went directly to the Li family courtyard, where Wang Guifang and Wang Dahua were cleaning and wiping the glass in the house spotlessly clean.

Li Dajiang didn't say much, but just asked Li Dahe to go to the courtyard and ask the two old people to come over.

After all, it is inconvenient to talk in a courtyard, as one might be overheard by others. One would feel more at ease if there were no outsiders in one's own courtyard.

After the family gathered in the courtyard, Li Dajiang asked Li Dahe to go out and guard the door.

Others didn't know what was going on and didn't understand why Li Dajiang was doing this.

But when they saw that Li Dajiang looked unhappy, they thought something was wrong, so they kept Li Weiguo, subconsciously thinking that the matter must be related to Li Weiguo.

Grandpa Li and Grandma Li couldn't help asking, "Da Jiang, what's going on? Look at your face, didn't you buy the furniture?"

Li Dajiang spoke to his parents in a more relaxed tone: "No, Mom and Dad, I bought the things and will deliver them to you soon. I called you here because I have something else to say. Li Weiguo, you can speak for yourself!"

Wang Guifang didn't understand what was going on and thought that Li Weiguo had done something wrong, so she quickly spoke up for him: "Dajiang, Weiguo is still young and honest, and has never caused us any trouble. If he does something wrong, you must not get angry with him..."

Li Dajiang glanced at her and snorted, "He's still young? He's already fifteen. Is he honest? But the things he does are not honest!"

Wang Dahua didn't know the situation, and she spoke for Li Weiguo at this moment: "Brother, although I don't know what happened, Weiguo has never caused us any trouble since he was a child, and you see how much money he has made recently..."

Speaking of money, Li Dajiang became even angrier: "Don't mention money. The more you mention money, the angrier I get. You should first ask him what he did."

So, several elders stared at Li Weiguo, wanting to know what had happened and why Li Dajiang was so angry!

Li Weiguo lowered his head, hesitating, and it was a bit difficult to speak: "Um, um, I..."

But he was roaring in his heart, didn't he just make up a story and try to take the opportunity to improve his family's living standards?

Why does it seem like he has made such a big mistake? How can we get along well if this goes on?

Then, Li Dajiang yelled at him again out of the blue: "Hurry up and say it! If you say one wrong word, I'll break your legs!"

Li Dajiang was really angry this time and wanted to break his legs twice today!

"Shut up, how can you be so capable! You want to break Weiguo's legs at every turn, I don't think you dare!"

Grandpa Li couldn't listen any longer. Isn't it enough to have a lame person in the family?

Then, he looked at Li Weiguo with a questioning look on his face and asked, "Weiguo, what happened? Tell me quickly!"

Li Weiguo was trembling after being yelled at by his father, and finally said after gritting his teeth: "Grandpa, I just collected an ancient book a few days ago, and the box for the ancient book is an ordinary one.

But I always felt that the wooden box was too heavy, and that there was something fishy inside it, so I fiddled with it after I received it.

It turns out that there is a secret compartment in the wooden box, which contains a layer of small yellow croakers…” At this point, he fell silent and couldn’t help but lowered his head.

As soon as he finished speaking, the room suddenly fell silent.

Everyone at the scene was shocked beyond words and was completely dumbfounded.

Especially Grandpa Li and Grandma Li, they both opened their eyes wide in disbelief.

Only then did they realize why Li Dajiang was so furious. That was a small yellow croaker, that was gold!

These are things that no one in his family has ever had in several generations, and there’s a whole floor of them!

The room was quiet for a while, and finally Grandpa Li reacted and asked in a trembling voice: "Weiguo, how many are there?"

Li Weiguo whispered, "There are only ten. I sold one, so there are nine left."

Grandma Li almost lost her balance and her body was swaying. Wang Guifang and Wang Dahua hurried forward to support her. Only then did they understand the origin of Li Weiguo's money.

Grandma Li slapped her thigh and cried out in grief: "Weiguo, how could you hide such a big thing from our family! If something happened to you, what would happen to our family?"

"Yes... Weiguo... you are too brave... If someone wants to kill me for money... what should I do..."

Wang Guifang stuttered as she spoke, mainly because this incident happened too suddenly and she was a little overwhelmed.

Grandpa Li quickly calmed down and asked in a deep voice, "Dajiang, who else knows about this?"

Li Dajiang shook his head: "I just found out about this on the way with Dahe!"

Grandpa Li pondered for a moment, and said to everyone seriously: "No one can leak this matter. Weiguo, you must hide those things well and never let the news leak out.

Sell ​​those that have been sold, and don’t touch the remaining nine.

This matter must be kept to myself. If anyone tells anyone, don't blame me for being rude!"

Several people at the scene nodded, "I understand, Dad!"

Then, Grandpa Li turned around and asked Li Weiguo, "Where are those things hidden?"

Li Weiguo quickly replied: "Grandpa, I hid in the mountains. I am the only one who knows the place. Don't worry, no one can find it."

Grandpa Li nodded and said, "That's good. You can hide the things first. We don't need them now, so don't take them out. No one of you can ask where the things are anymore! Just forget about it!"

Then Grandpa Li told Li Dajiang: "What happened happened, Weiguo did nothing wrong. It was because of Weiguo's cleverness that we got this unexpected fortune. You are not allowed to get angry at him again."

Grandma Li thought for a while and said, "Yes, don't blame Weiguo."

"Ugh!"

Li Dajiang glanced at Li Weiguo and sighed deeply.
