Chapter 1459 1461 [Shawshank's Treasure]
Guan Delin and Yu Jinxian then returned to the United States.
Actually, the two of them wanted to stay in China.
But Guan Xiaoguan doesn't welcome them.
Because when they came, apart from fighting over the old man's inheritance, they also persuaded her to find another husband so that she would have companionship when she was old.
The persuasion every three days, the Guan Xiaoguan was too annoying, and they disappeared immediately.
Seeing that they could not get any bargains if they stayed in the country, they had to go back to the United States first.
But they didn't give up on those antiques, and they still thought about going abroad in the future.
…
After Guan Xiaoguan sent them away, he officially took over Grandpa's house and things.
But she didn't let Chunming and Meng Xiaozao suffer.
She gave Meng Xiaozao one million RMB. This money is enough for her to buy a big house in the capital.
But Meng Xiaozao didn't want it, because Chunming had already given her a house.
This surprised Guan Xiaoguan, but she still left 300,000 yuan for Meng Xiaozao, which was her thanks for taking care of her grandfather all these years.
Chunming, Guan Xiaoguan also gave him 5 million RMB, which was regarded as the money he returned for the antiques.
Chunming naturally didn't want it. After the two of you pushed and gave way, Guan Xiaoguan finally took the money back.
However, after Guan Xiaoguan took over his grandfather's things, he suddenly found that there were a lot less things in the house.
Many things she had seen before were gone now. I haven't heard that my grandfather sold it, nor did I see Meng Xiaozao steal it. In short, it's gone.
"Strange, these things are far from enough." She frowned and counted.
Although she doesn't know how to collect, she has seen a lot of things, so she has an impression. In her opinion, many of the good things she had seen were gone now.
"Guess, could it be stolen?" She asked in surprise.
"How is that possible." Xiang Nan waved his hand, "If a thief came in to steal things, he would first steal passbooks and cash, and even turn the house upside down. How could it be so clean and tidy."
"Then what if a knowledgeable person can do it?" Guan Xiaoguan suddenly said, "He knows the value of these things, which are much more valuable than passbooks. He takes one at a time, and after a long time, he empties the house. Grandpa is already confused. I don’t necessarily remember that clearly.”
"Then it won't happen. Xiaozao is at home, and Chunming often comes here. If the house is stolen, won't they know?" Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "Your grandfather is a little confused, but Chunming is exquisite and exquisite." Heart, you can't hide it from him."
"I'm talking about him." Guan Xiaoguan said directly, "What if he is that thief!"
"Your speculation is completely illogical. If he is that thief, why should he return the house, antiques and antiques to you." Xiang Nan laughed.
"Isn't it okay for him to gain fame?" Guan Xiaoguan blinked and said.
"I don't believe you when you say that other people are fishing for fame, but you say that Chunming is fishing for fame." Xiang Nan waved his hand and smiled, "If he really cared about fame so much, he and Su Meng would have grown up with each other more than ten years ago. We're married."
If he really cared about saving face so much, he would have cleaned himself up and been with Su Meng long ago.
…
"Then what do you think is going on?" Seeing Xiang Nan defending Chunming so much, Guan Xiaoguan couldn't help saying angrily.
"Does it need to be said? If you don't want to think about it, who is your grandfather? With hair on his face, he is smarter than that monkey. Do you really believe that he ran away this time without any plan, and he just wanted to die? Xiang Nan said with a smile.
Guan Xiaoguan blinked.
She really hadn't considered this question before. Grandpa ran away with an illness, and she subconsciously thought that she just didn't want to wait for death, so she went out to find a place with good geomantic omen to end her remaining life.
But thinking about it carefully, this doesn't seem to be Grandpa's style.
Grandpa is too smart and lives too transparently. He has already seen through life and death, even if it is really terminally ill, I am afraid he will not be frightened.
Now his illnesses, such as high blood pressure, hyperlipidemia, cholecystitis, etc., are serious, but they are not fatal in a short time, so he should not be scared to death.
"You mean, these things are all planned by grandpa. He made preparations before?" Guan Xiaoguan asked doubtfully.
"Ninety percent of the time." Xiang Nan nodded, "Anyway, in my opinion, Mr. Guan is smarter than me. Every step he takes is meticulous."
"Then tell me, where can he put things?" Guan Xiaoguan asked doubtfully.
"In my opinion, it must still be in this courtyard." Xiang Nan smiled, "For one thing, Xiaozao has lived in the same courtyard as him all these years. Even if he took them out one by one, he couldn't hide them from Xiaozao's eyes.
Secondly, your grandfather is getting old, and he can’t travel far, at most he would go to the alley to play chess. Such an old man does not have the ability to transport things far away. Therefore, things must still be in the yard. "
"It makes sense." Guan Xiaoguan nodded after hearing what he said, and then she found a stick and began to beat around. Check for mezzanines or cellars.
Xiang Nan knew that Mr. Guan had put all the antiques and literary toys in the kitchen wall.
So he slowly led Guan Xiaoguan to look there.
"Hey, there's movement here, it's empty inside." Xiang Nan said, pounding on the kitchen wall.
Guan Xiaoguan heard that it was true, and his eyes lit up, "Brother Jianjun, quickly move this cupboard away."
Xiang Nan stretched his arms and moved the cupboard by the wall away, and saw that the wall behind it was all freshly ground. There were three red bricks in the middle of the wall, and on one of the red bricks was written "Teacher, I found it." Is it strenuous enough].
"Hey, this old man is really an old boy, he still fights with his apprentice, granddaughter, son, and daughter-in-law." Xiang Nan laughed.
Guan Xiaoguan was also a little dumbfounded, "Grandpa is really serious. He hid things by himself and didn't tell us, which made us anxious and almost made me blame the wrong person. Fortunately, I didn't go to Chunming to settle the score. Otherwise, I wouldn't have any money." Face to face."
"In my opinion, the old man is afraid that the things will be passed on to your parents. They will ship these treasures abroad and sell them, so they hide them painstakingly." Xiang Nan said with emotion.
He couldn't even imagine how old Mr. Guan, who was covered in illnesses, packed his things into boxes for storage, and how he secretly built the walls without Meng Xiaozao's eyes.
It is no exaggeration to say that it is even more powerful than the Shawshank who dug and escaped from prison in "The Shawshank Redemption".
Guan Xiaoguan nodded, "I will respect Grandpa's opinion. I will not sell any of these treasures."
Xiang Nan nodded, supporting her decision.
