Sure enough, there were about a dozen boxes and a shelf in the basement with many rare ornaments, each of which was a rare treasure. Tang Niannian politely collected all the treasures on the ornaments and opened the boxes one by one.
There are silver dollars, gold bars, emeralds, jade, etc., and there is also a box, all of which are now popular banknotes and various tickets, with as much as half a million in cash alone.
"Immortal old man!"
Tang Niannian cursed and collected all the boxes. Old man Zhou had harmed many people over the years, and he had also ruined a lot of people's wealth. There must be more than just these boxes. Where are the other treasures?
The basement was ransacked and the two left. When passing by a house, they heard a couple talking.
"Why aren't you sleeping yet? It's almost dawn. You've been tossing and turning all night, which makes it hard for me to sleep well!" Zhou Laoer said angrily.
"I couldn't sleep. Dad vomited a lot of blood today. I secretly asked the doctor. The situation is not good. We need to make plans early!"
The second daughter-in-law lowered her voice. She had been thinking about this all night.
"What are you planning to do? Siming and Si Ren are both dead, and Si Jie is gone too, so what else is there to do?"
Zhou Laoer's tone was sad. Three of his four children were dead, leaving only a cynical younger son.
He used to want to compete with Dafang, but now he has no other ideas and just lives one day at a time!
"We still have Sven, we have to make plans for him. Do you know where dad's treasures are hidden?" the second daughter-in-law asked in a low voice.
"Not the basement?"
"Where is the basement? The big head is hidden by dad. I just heard about it. Huh, dad only has the eldest brother in mind. The dead ones are all from our second ward. The eldest brother is all alive. Let the treasure be hidden by the eldest brother. If we don’t take the initiative to fight for it, we won’t get anything!”
The second daughter-in-law was very unwilling. Two of her three sons were sent to the south by the old man to die, and her daughter also died. The eldest family only lost one Zhou Siliang, but the old man still gave his treasure to the eldest family. Why?
"you sure?"
Zhou Laoer instantly became energetic and felt more resentment toward Zhou Hongchang.
Three of his four children died, and the old man actually favored his eldest brother. Damn it, he didn’t regard him as his biological son!
"It's absolutely true. It's hidden in that house in the west of the city. I overheard my sister-in-law whispering to Siliang." The second daughter-in-law was extremely proud.
"Don't make any noise about this. Let's take some time to go to the west of the city and move the baby. Humph, the old man will do the first grade of junior high school first, so don't blame me as your son for doing the fifteenth grade!" Zhou Laoer sneered.
"Don't get me wrong, our family has two houses in the west of the city, the one in Yueya Hutong." reminded the second daughter-in-law.
"Crescent Alley? That house is too dilapidated to be inhabitable. The old man is really good at hiding."
The couple was in good spirits. They talked a lot about the shabby house in Yueyang Alley and fell asleep just before dawn.
Tang Niannian and Shen Xiao left the Zhou family quietly, and no one noticed them from beginning to end.
The two of them went straight to Crescent Moon Alley. They originally wanted to inquire, but God was so powerful that they made the stupid couple Zhou Laoer tell them all. With so much treasure put to their mouths, a fool would not eat it.
Before the liberation of Yueya Hutong, it was a civilian area. Most of them were large courtyards. Now there are many people living there. The two of them found the Zhou family's house easily and didn't take much time.
Because this one was the only one with no one living in it, it was dilapidated and the yard was overgrown with weeds, like a ghost house.
It’s exactly the same as what Zhou Laoer and his wife said.
Moreover, this house is far away from other houses, so no one will hear the noise it makes. It is very suitable for hiding treasures, and of course it is even more suitable for digging for treasures.
The sky turned red, the sun rose, and the alley was filled with various sounds, making it very lively.
But no one came to this abandoned house. The time was right, the place was right, and the people were all present. Tang Niannian took out a hoe and shovel from the space and started hunting for treasure.
The house was not particularly big, and the backyard was overgrown with weeds. They went to the basement first, but it was empty.
An hour later, they had a harvest. In the backyard full of weeds, a piece of soil was slightly raised, and the weeds were sparser than elsewhere. Shen Xiao dug up the soil, revealing a dark hole, and a gust of cold wind blew out.
"I'll go down first."
Shen Xiao jumped into the cave. A quarter of an hour later, he came out and asked Tang Niannian to come down.
The ground was hollowed out, at least thirty square meters, and it was dug very deep. The hole was filled with iron boxes and rosewood boxes. Shen Xiao smashed the locks and opened them one by one. They were blinded by the jewels.
Dongzhu, mutton-fat jade, jade, various gems, as well as many royal antiques, rare paintings and calligraphy, etc., there are more than ten boxes of gold bars alone. Tang Niannian counted a total of sixty-two boxes, all of which were Zhou Hongchang's. Collected over the years.
She took it all into the space.
"Walk!"
The two jumped out of the hole, covered it with soil, restored it to its original shape, and left quietly.
At this time, it was already broad daylight. They found a deserted suburb, took out their car, and drove into the city. The streets were very lively with people coming and going. They found a state-owned restaurant to have breakfast.
It's past eight o'clock now, and most of the people who come to have breakfast are uncles and aunties, chatting about gossip using authentic Beijing movies, showing the joy of peace and prosperity for the country and the people.
"The bean juice is ready!"
The waiter called out, and several uncles hurriedly got up to get the bean juice and the standard focus ring for the bean juice.
An old man took a big sip of soy juice, took a bite of the soybean juice, and exclaimed: "This is how it tastes, so comfortable!"
Judging from the expressions of these uncles, it was obvious that they were very satisfied with the breakfast.
When Shen Xiao saw Tang Niannian staring at the uncle, he thought she wanted to drink soy juice, so he asked, "Want to eat?"
"don't want!"
Tang Niannian shook her head vigorously. She had no interest in soybean juice. Even the locals in the capital couldn't get used to it. She definitely couldn't do it.
Shen Xiao smiled. He didn't like to drink bean juice. In fact, he didn't like many delicacies in the capital. His taste was more suitable for Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
Tang Niannian couldn't get used to the breakfast here. The soy milk was sweet, the buns were quite big, and the stuffing was a bit strong. The siu mai was stuffed with meat. In her previous life, she had also been on a business trip to the north and had eaten siu mai with meat stuffing. Love to eat.
She likes to eat glutinous rice and shaomai.
Glutinous Rice Shaomai
Although she didn't like to eat, Tang Niannian still ate a lot. Her picky eating was not that serious. Even if she didn't like eating, she would still put it in her mouth when she was hungry.
"Go to your house!"
Tang Niannian wiped his mouth and had to go meet the scumbags of the Shen family.
"good!"
Shen Xiao drank the soy milk in the bowl in one gulp, and then took the remaining steamed bun. After finishing two bites, he wiped his mouth and left the restaurant in large strides.
After they left, some of the adults and aunties nearby started talking: "Good guys, these two kids have such good appetites, we have to eat three meals in one meal!"
"Ordinary people can't afford it. Fortunately, that young man is an officer and his salary is high!"
"The young couple look so good, their baby will definitely be good-looking!"
The retired uncles and aunties gradually changed the topic and discussed with great interest the new children nearby.
