When Father Cao heard what his sister said, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. He turned around and was about to stop her.
Unfortunately it's too late.
The girl picked up the stone on the ground and broke it hard. The round stone suddenly broke into two halves with a "click".
The golden luster of the stone inside was revealed.
"Is this gold?"
The girl blinked her big eyes innocently and looked at the gold in her hand with curiosity.
If every stone contained gold of this size, it would be conservatively estimated that such a pile would weigh one or two kilograms.
Lu Chen looked at the stones on the ground and suddenly took a breath of cold air.
“This is so much, it’s probably worth seven to eight hundred thousand, right???”
The photographer also looked at the stones scattered on the ground and nodded dumbly.
"According to the current price of gold, these are estimated to be upwards of one million..."
The audience in the live broadcast room were all stunned when they looked at the gold in the girl's hands.
【I go! Is this the ceiling for hiding private money? Hidden gold in rocks and disguised it. If the girl hadn't broken it open, I wouldn't have known that private money could be hidden like this! 】
[I’ve learned, I’ve learned, this is really powerful. If I hid it like this, my wife would be beaten to death without even thinking about it! 】
[Can you think of this as a carbon-based creature? Hide gold disguised as stone? ? ? 】
[I’ve seen a lot of people hiding private money, but this is the first time I’ve seen someone hiding gold! It's estimated to be in the millions, right? Where did Father Cao get so much money? 】
【……】
Everyone present took a breath and looked at Father Cao in shock.
Even Cao Chengren, who had always been on fire before, did not dare to take a breath at this moment.
Cao Chengren's personal money of three to five thousand was not a big deal.
At most, Cao's father would be beaten.
But if the millions of private money is not handled well, they might have to ask whether they want to live with their father or mother later.
Father Cao's face was ashen and he didn't dare to take a breath, and he looked towards Mother Cao in a disapproving manner.
"Wife..."
As soon as she was halfway through speaking, Cao's mother looked at Father Cao angrily and said doubtfully:
"Cao Renqi! Where did you get such gold!"
Looking at the stones on the ground, Cao's mother casually crushed a stone with her foot, and a round golden bead rolled out.
Mother Cao looked at the golden beads rolling out with a complicated look on her face. She was more shocked than angry at the moment.
Obviously Father Cao's salary card is with her, so where did he get so much money to buy gold.
With such a pile now, there must be one or two kilograms.
Cao Chengren looked at the pile of stones in front of him, and his face was suddenly stunned.
He looked at Father Cao excitedly.
"Dad! What we have been doing frugally for so many years is actually cultivating my spirit of hard work, right?"
"Our family is actually rich, and I am actually the second generation of rich people!"
Cao Chengren looked at Cao's father with bright eyes.
Father Cao rolled his eyes at Cao Chengren angrily.
"I asked your grandfather this question thirty years ago!"
Father Cao turned to look at Mother Cao, and now he could only tell the truth.
"I bought this gold when the price of gold was low..."
"Did you buy it?"
Mother Cao's face was full of disbelief. If it was one or two grams of gold, it would not be surprising at all for Father Cao to use his private money to buy her.
But the problem is that there are one or two kilograms of gold in front of me!
According to the current gold price, that would be a full seven figures!
With Cao's father's salary of just over 5,000 yuan a month, he could not afford these even if he saved for ten years without food or water.
Cao's father noticed Cao's mother's surprised look, and he scratched his head to explain.
"Well, do you remember when we got married?"
Mother Cao couldn't help but be stunned: "Does this have anything to do with the gold?"
Father Cao nodded decisively.
"My dad gave me some of his personal money, and I was thinking about making some investments..."
"So I bought all my money into gold. Who knew the price of gold has risen so high now..."
Mother Cao looked at Father Cao in front of her, took a deep breath, calmed down and nodded.
Father Cao's excuse was quite reasonable, and she didn't intend to pursue anything.
After all, it was too late for her to be happy when she found out that her family had an extra million yuan for no reason.
Cao's mother silently took out the phone and dialed her mother.
"Hello! Mom? Is my dad okay?"
"My old Cao told me that when we got married, my dad secretly gave him some private money. After all these years, my dad's bad habits haven't changed. Please be careful not to hit him too hard. Don't use a whip. Try dipping it in chili pepper water!”
Everyone: "..."
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look at Cao's mother with a hint of awe, for she could be so cruel to her own father.
Seeing that Cao's mother did not pursue the matter any further, Cao Chengren and Cao's father couldn't help but feel relieved.
Just as everyone was about to walk to the dining table, another voice came from behind.
There was a "pop" sound, as if something fell to the ground.
Everyone looked back.
The girl scratched her head and looked at the crowd with some embarrassment.
"Well, I wanted to see my uncle and aunt's wedding photos, but this one fell out..."
The girl held two dark red real estate certificates in her hands.
Before anyone could react, Father Cao fell to his knees with a "pop" sound.
He looked at Cao's mother in fear.
"Honey, let me tell you everything. In fact, of the money my father gave me, I bought half of the gold and half of it for stock market investment!"
"It just so happened that the stock market opened, so I invested my money in oil!"
Cao's mother's face was gloomy and scary. She never expected that Cao's father could hide two real estate certificates in addition to his private money.
Even if the two of them didn't eat or drink for a lifetime, they probably wouldn't be able to save such a amount of money!
Cao's father also noticed the sudden change in Cao's mother's expression and hurriedly explained.
"Later I thought that the stock market was not safe, so I took the money to buy a house..."
"As a result, it happened to coincide with the East Asian financial crisis. Within a few years, demolition started here, and we suddenly became a demolition household."
At this point, Cao's mother already felt that something was wrong.
He looked at Father Cao with doubts.
“Since it’s been demolished, why do we still need a loan to buy a house?”
The house they live in now was bought after taking out a mortgage for thirty years, and they are still paying off the loan.
If Cao's father had owned a house during the demolition, why would they have needed a loan to buy a house?
Father Cao glanced at Mother Cao tentatively and took a step back silently.
"Honey, you have to promise me that we can't divorce once we know the truth..."
"And you can't hit me or get angry..."
Father Cao lowered his head with a guilty conscience.
Mother Cao's eyes turned cold, and she seemed to have guessed something in her heart. She looked at Father Cao: "Speak first!"
Father Cao lowered his head, not daring to look into Mother Cao's eyes.
"This house... is actually my demolished house, a bank loan and so on. I lied to you..."
When Cao's mother heard this, she felt like the world was spinning, and she almost stumbled and fainted.
Fortunately, Cao Chengren and the photographer on the side quickly helped Cao's mother.
