"I remember there was a pair of jade earrings in it. They were left to me by my mother-in-law before she died. The Song family only passes on the eldest daughter-in-law. It is the third generation to me. Zimo, I will give it to you today." The old lady smiled. Rongrong said.

Su Zimo hastily refused: "Since it is passed to the eldest daughter-in-law, why not invite the mother-in-law to come."

Ma Yue'e, like Song Junjie, has hardly stepped into this yard since the old lady fell ill. If it wasn't for Song Wenshu not forgetting the past to serve her knees, and Su Zimo and Zhong Ming were by her side laughing and laughing, the evening scene would be so bleak, old lady He regretted even more that he should not have interfered in Song Wenshu's marriage back then. Hearing that Su Zimo wanted to invite Ma Yue'e, he was naturally unhappy, so he suppressed it for now, and said regretfully: "I should have brought these out long ago. If you are old, you can't wear it, you can't take it into the coffin after you die, and you put it at the bottom of the box for nothing."

Zhong Ming echoed from the side, "That is, people live in this world, but they only need to eat and wear. Grandma, you live frugally on weekdays, and who cares about you, maybe you have already been missed by others, just waiting for you to die." I want to keep it for myself." After the old lady passed away in the previous life, it didn't take long for the Song family to lose, whether it was defeated by Song Junjie or Ma Yue'e, it would not be a sudden thought , must have been in mind long ago.

Song Wenshu patted her, "You child, how do you talk." Today, for some reason, I kept mentioning it to death, which made my heart skip a beat.

The old lady said: "Ming'er is telling the truth, it's a pity that at my age, I'm not as knowledgeable as a child."

Over there Chunlan and Xia He struggled to lift the box out and put it at the old lady's feet.

The old lady took out the key and handed it to Chunlan, asking her to open it.

Several layers of clothes were put on it, and after taking it out, there was a big yellow bag inside, embroidered with auspicious patterns of dragon and phoenix, which looked a bit old.

Song Wenshu joked: "Such a big bag is bulging, it seems that there are many good things hidden in it."

Both Zhong Ming and Aunt Feng approached curiously.

Su Zimo was not very interested. He raised his head and looked outside the door. He accidentally glanced at Song Junjie who was fidgeting beside him. The treasure at the bottom of the box, Song Junjie is such a greedy person, he should be at the front, but he seems... very nervous?It didn't take long for Su Zimo to wonder before the answer to the mystery was solved.

First, Chunlan said "Oops", and sat down on the ground, followed by other people who also made sounds of surprise.

"This, this..." The old lady pointed at the box with trembling fingers, her breathing became heavier, and she couldn't speak thoughtfully.

Su Zimo was blocked from the outside and couldn't see what was going on inside, so he could only ask, "What's wrong?"

Zhong Ming pulled her sleeve and told her in a low voice, "The box contains stones."

"Stone?" Su Zimo was puzzled, and when he looked up, it was indeed stones of different sizes, which took up half of the box.

The old lady couldn't bear the blow, and fell down on the chair behind her. Song Wenshu hurriedly stepped forward to help her, and comforted her, "I'm afraid the old lady may have misremembered, will she hide it in another box?"

How could the old lady make a mistake with the things that have been in the box for decades, besides, the burden of jewelry is correct, and there are so many extra stones, the old lady has already guessed it, but she has not completely given up, and besides, the jewelry is gone, There was also a bank note, and Xia He hurriedly asked Xia He to open the other box, which contained bedding and clothes, and only a delicately carved wooden box was hidden at the bottom of the box.

The old lady stretched out her hand, "Give it to me."

Xia He put the wooden box in the hands of the old lady.

The old lady took a deep breath, opened the wooden box tremblingly, and when she saw the contents inside, she shook her hand, and the box fell to the ground, split in two, and the snow-white paper scattered out.

Everyone can guess what's going on.

The old lady looked at the stones in the box, then at the white paper on the ground, and burst into tears. This is the savings she has saved for half her life in frugality!Also her dowry back then, and the token of love her husband gave her when she was young, are all gone.

Song Wenshu knew that someone would definitely drop her bag, but when she saw the old lady crying sadly, she persuaded, "Maybe it's hidden somewhere else." She told Chunlan Xiahe to look for it quickly.

Chunlan and Xiahe were both startled and frightened, they took care of everything in the old lady's room, and they knew where to put every stitch and thread. Money, silver and jewelry were always placed in these two boxes, so they couldn't make mistakes. What's more, the box was locked, and the old lady kept the key herself, so how could it turn into stones and blank paper?No matter who changed it, they couldn't escape the responsibility. Knowing that there was no hope, they still searched here and there to find it.

The house was turned into a mess, but nothing was found.

The old lady looked at everything in front of her, her chest became more and more stuffy, and she finally rolled her eyes and passed out.

Everyone in the room panicked, pinched people, boiled water, and called for a doctor, making a mess. Only Song Junjie took advantage of the chaos and slipped away.

After the doctor came, he poured a bowl of medicinal soup with pulse needles, but the old lady still didn't wake up.

"The old lady is getting old and has been ill for a long time. She didn't have many days to live, and this time she is in a hurry, alas, alas." The doctor shook his head while sighing, packed the medicine box and was about to leave.

Song Wenshu held him back and asked anxiously, "Why didn't you write the prescription?"

The doctor glanced at the old lady on the sick bed, "The old lady is very ill, and the medicine stone is useless."

Song Wenshu didn't give up, "As long as the old lady can be cured, no matter how much money is spent."

The doctor said: "Since this is the case, even if you feed it with ginseng, it can only hang your life, it won't cure the root cause."

Seeing a glimmer of hope, Song Wenshu thanked the doctor and sent the doctor out, and asked Chunlan, "Is there any ginseng in the house?"

Chunlan didn't know, but Su Zimo heard it, and said: "Yes, it's the first time Ming'er came back to the capital to honor the old lady's meeting gift. The old lady has been reluctant to eat it, so let Haosheng keep it."

Song Wenshu hurriedly said: "Take it out quickly, it's important to save lives."

Su Zimo took Chunlan to fetch ginseng, and even watched the fire to cook the soup himself. After two hours, he boiled a small bowl of soup and fed it to the old lady. After another half an hour, the old lady woke up leisurely and opened her eyes. The immediate thing is to conduct a thorough investigation of the entire government, and definitely find out the person who cheated.

"It must be my cousin." Zhong Ming was afraid that the old lady would be sad, so he didn't dare to tell her the premise, returned to the room, and immediately said to Su Zimo.

Song Junjie acted strangely, and Su Zimo also suspected him, but catching a thief and taking the stolen goods was groundless, and Song Junjie would definitely not admit it. Besides, so much money must go somewhere, was it hidden by Song Junjie, or It was spent by him, and it had to be verified slowly. Su Zimo asked Zhong Ming to keep quiet first, so as not to startle the snake.

The two were about to fall asleep when Song Wenshu came to Su Zimo.

Song Wenshu already knew about their relationship, and they were in the same room again in the middle of the night, Su Zimo only felt awkward.

Zhong Ming didn't care, and opened the door openly.

Song Wenshu was not surprised to see Zhong Ming, but she was just worrying about the old lady's affairs, how could she have the energy to pay attention to their affairs, of course she couldn't pretend that she didn't see anything, especially Zhong Ming was only wearing a middle coat, even though no one else was around, It doesn't look like a daughter's house at all.

"Here are 2000 taels of silver bills. I will buy some high-quality ginseng for the old lady." Song Wenshu put a stack of silver bills in Su Zimo's hands.

Su Zimo hastily declined, "How can I use my aunt's money?"

Song Wenshu sneered, "I was married to the Song family. Don't I know what the Song family is? It's not enough to buy a few ginsengs. The old lady hid some, but someone stole it. This thief, come out!" If you don't want to go to the gate of the Song family, just wait, it's a fox who always wants to show his tail. I don't take money for the Song family. When the old man severed my father-daughter relationship with me, I have already broken with this family, but it's because the old lady gave birth to me. For my sake, I will do my best to be a daughter's filial piety." He said and glanced at Zhong Ming.

Zhong Ming hurriedly said: "Mother, don't worry, I will definitely take care of you until the end of your life."

Song Wenshu gave her a sip, "I will be thankful if I don't lose my life because of your anger."

Zhong Ming laughed and said, "Didn't you make grandma very angry in the same way back then?"

"You're the one who talks poorly." Song Wenshu didn't stay any longer, and said before leaving, "Tomorrow I'm going to the temple to pray for the old lady, will you two go?"

The old lady was seriously ill in bed, and there was nothing they could do to help. They could only sincerely ask the Bodhisattva to bless her, and they both nodded together.
