Everyone thinks I'm a wealthy doctor's son-in-law

The renovated house is clean and tidy.

In the closet, the old woman took out something wrapped in red cloth, and when she opened it, there was a rusty iron box inside.

Some struggled to open the tin box, and there were only two things inside, which were carefully packed in plastic bags by the old woman.

"On the night when the old man left, he handed me this box and repeatedly asked. One of them seemed to be a map, saying that it must not be shown to anyone, and the other was an IOU, saying that if we cannot make ends meet Just go ask for it."

"You are a good person, you are the benefactor of me and Guan Ling, and the only person who has seen this thing besides me and Guan Ling."

Lu Ming was a little embarrassed to hear this.

He took the plastic bag handed over by the old woman, and he could see through the bag that one of them was yellowed paper, and the handwriting on it was somewhat blurred.

It's an IOU!
"Huang Shiren?" Seeing the name of the debtor, Lu Ming almost couldn't help laughing.

Huang Shiren and Yang Bailao are probably well known to the world, and the person who owes this IOU is Huang Shiren, and Lu Ming also knows that Guan Ling's grandfather is Guan Pingyuan.

"50!" Looking at the IOU, the Lu family was shocked. 20 50 years ago was not a small sum.

To be precise, the date of this signing should be 27 years ago.

Just imagine the 50 yuan at that time, which was equivalent to the value of ten such courtyard houses at that time.

Lu Ming asked curiously: "Grandma, you have been in such a difficult situation all these years, why didn't you ask Huang Shiren for the debt?"

"Go." The old woman said with some pain: "We went there when Guan Ling was still young. At that time, Huang Shiren said that money was tight, so he would give me ten or eight yuan. Later, I couldn't even see anyone. Another time when Guan Ling was seven or eight years old, she was seriously ill. I took Guan Ling to ask for money, but I was beaten out. Since then, I have never dared to go there again. The Huang family is now a big family, and we can’t mess with it. rise."

Lu Ming didn't say much, picked up the second plastic bag, and when he saw it, he recognized it as a map at a glance.

Moreover, the material of this map is very special. It is not paper but some kind of soft animal skin. There are uneven gaps on both sides of the drawing. Obviously this map is only a quarter, but it can still be seen. Some mountains and rivers.

However, with the only remaining map, it is impossible to judge its location, let alone what is recorded and hidden in this residual map.

After pondering carefully for a while, Lu Ming felt that Guan Ling's father, Guan Pingyuan, and grandfather Guan Pingyuan were by no means ordinary people. They were able to get Huang Shiren to write down 27 IOUs 50 years ago, which shows how rich they are.

Moreover, their disappearance was also full of strangeness, all of which made Lu Ming subconsciously connect with the ancient box.

Maybe I'm too sensitive!
Lu Ming tried to persuade himself, but holding that fragmented picture, that special feeling always lingered in his heart.

In the end, Lu Ming still said: "Grandma, can you put these two things with me, the money on the IOU, I will help you get it back."

"You take it, take it." The old woman hurriedly stuffed the two things into Lu Ming's hands, and said gratefully: "If you can get the money back, you can keep it. Your great kindness to Guan Ling and me , I don’t even know how to respond.”

Lu Ming was the savior of their mother-in-law and grandson, so the old lady would naturally not refuse.

Putting these two things in his pocket, Lu Ming asked some details about that year again.

Although she is old, the old woman's memory is pretty good. In her memory, after marrying Guan Pingyuan, she didn't find that he had anything from the army, and his work and rest habits didn't look like a soldier, but she bought it. The money for the courtyard house, he said, was a veteran's allowance.

At that time, women had no status in the family, so they could do whatever the shopkeeper said, as long as they had enough to eat.

Moreover, Guan Ling's grandfather and father, Guan Pingyuan and Guan Jianguo, according to the old lady, they didn't have any special jobs.

What all the villages can know is that the father and son are carpenters, but they didn't live much in those days, and they mostly went to do odd jobs.

This made Lu Ming even more curious, how could a person without a stable income buy this courtyard house, and let Huang Shiren write down a 50 IOU at that time.

Everything was too unusual, and Lu Ming was also very curious about Guan Ling's life experience.

Soon, it was lunch time, and Lu Ming also asked some questions during the meal.

But Guan Ling was only three years old at the time, and her father and grandfather had left. All she knew was what her grandmother told her, and it had no real meaning.

After eating, Lu Ming took Xiao Linglong and left.

In the kitchen, looking at Guan Ling who was cleaning up the dishes, the old woman asked, "Ling'er, Mr. Lu seems to be very interested in your grandfather and your father."

Guan Ling didn't care too much, and said casually: "Mr. Lu is a very kind person, maybe he cares about us."

"Oh, I'm afraid that your grandfather did some illegal activities back then..."

"Grandma, you said that again." Guan Ling said with a smile: "Not to mention that it is impossible, even if it is, more than 20 years have passed, so don't think too much about it. I will go to work later, and you are at home alone , Brother Lu said, let me help you find a nanny first, after the construction here is completed, and everyone moves here, someone will chat with you."

"Don't spend that money, I can do it alone..."

……

In the project department, looking at Xiao Linglong who was working hard, Lu Ming finally let go of his heart.

He signaled Shuang Hanying and Tang Xiaomei to accompany her, and immediately left here with Huo Jun.

On the way, Lu Ming asked, "Huo Jun, have you heard of Huang Shiren?"

Huo Jun smiled cheerfully when he heard this, and said, "Brother, you really think that I have never read a book! How can I not know the story of Yang Bailao and Huang Shiren, the mountain is covered by heavy snow, and the house can't open the pot..."

With that said, Huo Jun carried it on his back.

Lu Ming smiled wryly and said, "I'm talking about Huang Shiren in this world! He's in the capital."

"Ugh! Huang Shiren is really there!"

Especially when Lu Ming told Huo Jun about the IOUs between Huang Shiren and Guan Pingyuan, he couldn't help laughing even more. It was as if they were Yang Bailao and Huang Shiren in the present world!

"Be serious, kid!" Lu Ming rolled his eyes at him, and said, "I always feel that this matter has something to do with the ancient box! You should immediately send someone to investigate Huang Shiren's details."

"Okay!" When it came to business, Huo Jun looked serious.

Soon the subordinates he arranged sent detailed information.

Huang Shiren is now the owner of the Huang family in Dongcheng District, the capital of Shanghai. The Huang family is quite powerful and now it is the most favorable competitor of the Xiao family, competing for the helm of Dongcheng District.

In fact, the original Huang family should be at the helm of the Dongcheng District. The Huang family has strong financial resources, but because the Huang family has risen in the magic city, it has been less than 30 years, and the background is not strong. In addition, the Geng family back then had Tianzong Support, that's why I condescend to dormant.

Now that the Geng family has been destroyed, the Xiao family has taken the opportunity to take over, and the Huang family has also begun to move around.

At this moment, Tan Jiuye also called, bringing an astonishing news, and it was also related to the Huang family.
