Chapter 430 Ten Miles of Red Makeup, Huge Inheritance
After saying a word, the old man was so anxious that he was about to cry, his hands were shaking.
Zhou Yan hurriedly supported him, patted his back, and said comfortingly: "Grandpa Hai, don't get excited, just speak slowly, I will do everything I can."
"I was fooled! In April, Guo Acai came here with the third master. Guo Acai came to ask where my wife's dowry went, and asked if the master had left a legacy for the uncle and the second master. I doubt she listened What is the wind?"
"I don't know what happened. Anyway, at that time, I started to lose my mind and couldn't say what I wanted to say." Zhou Hai said anxiously, "I lost my caution."
He suspected that Zhou Lihe served him a cup of tea, which was drugged, what a **** idiot, how could Master Zhou have such a wife and son!
Zhou Yan doesn’t speak, if someone else wants to do something, it’s hard for you to avoid it, especially Guo Acai is Zhou Hanqing’s step-wife, and his step-wife is also his wife, so if she wants to do something, it’s hard for Zhou Hai to dodge.
Zhou Hai said anxiously: "I don't know how many days I can live. Regarding the wife's dowry, I went to the uncle before, and the uncle said that he didn't want to touch the wife's things. Who knows that something happened to the uncle, I guess he didn't give it to me." you say."
It's not that Zhou Yan hasn't been here in recent years. He has come twice to pay homage to his grandparents in this Zhouqian Island cemetery.
He originally thought that the tombs of Zhou Hanqing and Yu Fanghua were in this village. In the past six months, his body was transformed by ginseng fruit, and only then did he see that there was an empty coffin in the underground coffin.
The uncle is Zhou Yan’s father. He knew where Yu Fanghua’s dowry was, but his death was too sudden. If he hadn’t told Zhou Yan, the dowry would have to wait for archaeologists in the future.
Zhou Yan really didn't know, his parents did not tell Zhou Yan, because the couple never thought that something would happen suddenly.
Zhou Hai was comforted by Zhou Yan, and his mood gradually calmed down.
"Our Zhou family moved here from Tianzhen Village. Although Tianzhen Village always attracts disasters, there are still many graves from the ancestors of the Zhou family that have not been moved here. Mr. Feng Shui said that the ancestral graves there have good Feng Shui and prosperous descendants."
Zhou Yan immediately guessed that the empty coffin underground here is for Guo Acai and other members of the clan, and the real tomb is still in Tianzhen Village.
Sure enough, Zhou Hai said: "The cemeteries of the master and wife are over there. The master arranged it. Only I and Rong Yongtai know about it."
Rong Yongtai is dead, he is the only one left, he is anxious!
"My wife's dowry was buried by the master in the basement of the ancestral hall of the ancestral house. He said that the wife's things were returned to her. The master's own things were handed over to Rong Yongtai and taken out in batches."
That is to say, neither the dowry nor Zhou Hanqing's huge wealth were buried in the cemetery, but one was hidden under the ancestral hall, and the other was brought out of Modu.
Rong Yongtai was asked to take away all the liquid assets one after another, but it was not to be wary of Guo Acai. At that time, Guo Acai was not in a good mood.
Hiding property is more to deal with the social situation. After all, before the establishment of China Kingdom, the society was turbulent and chaotic.
"Before Rong Yongtai left, he told me that all his things had been brought back to Huyang, and that they would be handed over to the uncle, second master and third master. There was Guo Acai in the family, and Rong Yongtai and I rarely saw each other. I didn't expect him to die suddenly. .”
Master's things have been missing since then!
Zhou Yan got the news on this point, he has been looking for clues about Rong Yongtai in Huyang.
Zhou Hai cried as he spoke, angry and regretful: "I went to find Rong Yongtai. He was arrested and interrogated. In order to protect the master's things, he chose to die, but you have to give a letter when you die. Where are the things..."
Zhou Hai told Zhou Yan the location of the ancestral grave in Tianzhen Village, saying that he never dared to go there openly, for fear that Guo Acai's eyeliner would be drawn there.
The ancestral house of the Zhou family in Tianzhen Village has been completely abandoned, but it used to be the ancestral hall. There are two families living there.
On the surface, these two people have nowhere to go and can only live in this ancestral hall. In fact, they are guarding the Zhou family for the rest of their lives.
"You'd better not go now," Zhou Hai hesitated and contradicted, and said, "If possible, it's best for you to take it away."
Who can stare all day long, when they meet a shameless descendant who digs the graves of their ancestors, especially the grave of Yu Fanghua, who can keep staring.
Zhou Yan hummed, and said: "My cousin Chang'an and I are not short of money now. If we can keep it underground, we won't take it out. If we can't keep it, let's talk about it."
Zhou Hai breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had unloaded a heavy burden, and said, "I won't interfere with you whether you take it or not, I told you the news today, half of my heart disease has gone, and the half that the master put on Rong Yongtai's side is mine. Keep looking."
"Don't look for it, grandpa's property is sensitive, it's best not to reveal it, and we really don't need it."
Zhou Hai was so relieved that tears came out again.
Master Zhou's children, no matter whether they are on the road or not, he will eventually have to hand over the family fortune to them. If they are all libertines, he can't help it.
Zhou Yan is very pleased that Zhou Yan can work hard to rely on himself like the uncle, instead of searching and worrying about Master Zhou's family fortune.
When the two of them were talking in the room, Liang Xiaonan didn't put her mental power into it. She felt that she respected Zhou Yan, and they must not eavesdrop on their conversation.
She chatted with Zhou Guangming in the yard. Now Zhou Guangming mainly goes fishing with the village fishing boat. The boat is not big, and the amount of fish caught is very limited.
"There is not enough food to eat, and there is not enough firewood to burn it." Zhou Guangming scratched his head and said, "Fish cannot be eaten as food."
When Zhou Yan and Zhou Hai finished chatting, Liang Xiaonan had already found out the situation in Zhoujia Village.
Knowing that she would not eavesdrop, Zhou Yan asked her with a smile, "What are you talking about?"
"Zhou Guangming and I are talking about the production on their island." Liang Xiaonan said, "They say there is not enough food."
Don’t say that fishermen on their islands don’t have enough food, how can there be enough food in the whole country? It's just that it's more difficult for fishermen.
Zhou Yan said to Zhou Hai, who was able to walk independently: "Grandpa Hai, Xiaonan has developed some high-yield seeds. We will leave a batch for you later. What crops do you want to grow?"
When Zhou Hai heard that there were high-yielding seeds, he said happily: "There is some land on this island, and various crops are planted interspersed. It would be best to add some fruit trees. We can't get seedlings."
"We'll bring you back later, seeds, fertilizers, and I'll bring you some in the afternoon."
Zhou Hai didn't take it seriously, Zhou Yan was Zhou Hanqing's grandson anyway, he couldn't be a real farmer, where did he get the high-yield seeds and fertilizer?
Avoiding Zhou Hai, Zhou Yan said to Liang Xiaonan: "Let's go to Tianzhen Village first."
Liang Xiaonan didn't ask why, Zhou Yan's mind is more than the stars in the sky, he is right.
Tianzhen Village is some distance away from here, and it takes almost two hours to drive there.
The village is no longer a village. There are not many families, and almost all of them are old men and women, and there are no young people.
Zhou Yan went directly to the ancestral hall to find someone surnamed Gu. They were the most loyal servants guarding the ancestral grave for the Zhou family. Although it is a new society now, they still abide by the old rituals and refuse to violate their loyalty to their masters.
The old ancestral hall of the Zhou family is very similar to a small temple. It has a main house and a side room. The house is not high and is built of stones.
Although it looks old, it is still clean.
There are two courtyards behind the ancestral hall, where two old people surnamed Gu lived.
Seeing them coming, the two old people were still very vigilant, Zhou Yan said: "Grandpa Hai called me here, my name is Zhou Yan."
