Tian Wenyu stared with big eyes, incredulous that he was actually the housekeeper of the Zhang family.

It is still the third generation of ancestors, this old man should be the fourth generation, so this family is indeed from an official family.

"The Zhang family owes life-saving grace to my Liu family ancestors."

"My ancestors have worked with the ancestors of the Zhang family for many years, and we have established a deep relationship with each other."

"They also trust each other the most."

"When my great-grandfather was old, he built a yard like this here."

"This courtyard has a story in its name, saying that it is the ancestral tomb of my Liu family."

"Actually, it's the Zhang family's treasury."

Tian Wenyu was stunned when he heard this.

And the vault?

"Two generations of the Zhang family were officials, and later descendants started doing business."

"I have accumulated a lot of family property."

"Every ten years, the Zhang family will send money here in the name of visiting relatives. Over the years, they have accumulated a lot of wealth."

"Especially in the past few years of war and chaos, the Zhang family has been exploited several times. Most of the money was sent here instead of being kept in the Zhang family."

"Before the Zhang family experienced changes, the last head of the family sent the last money. I was still young at that time."

"Later, almost 20 years ago, Miss Six came with a young man named Xiang Fei."

"I just found out that something happened to the Zhang family. Only the crazy Zhang Shunyi and Miss Six are still alive."

"Miss Six has only lived here for three days. She told me that she is pregnant, and the Zhang family still has a daughter. If anyone comes here again, it must be her son or daughter."

"I didn't expect that I really expected you to come!"

After listening to Mr. Liu's narration, Tian Wenyu didn't know what to say.

One is really brave enough to put money in, and the other is really loyal, and he still keeps it till now.

"Uncle Liu, it's not easy for you, guarding the treasury and still living in such poverty."

Tian Wenyu couldn't imagine why there were such people in the world.

Is there no greed?

How could you be willing to look at someone else's vault?

Uncle Liu smiled.

"They say they are poor, but in reality they are just me. I can't help it! It's too chaotic and I don't dare to show off my wealth."

"Before the land reform, my Liu family owned dozens of acres of land locally."

“And generations of people have lived without worries about food and clothing.”

"And if I, a descendant of the Liu family, wants to live in this house, the one who is the most filial and upright among the brothers can inherit this house."

"Only the person who inherits this house knows about the relationship between my Liu family and Zhang family."

"For example, my daughter knows that there is a treasury here, but my son-in-law doesn't."

"This is how the Liu family has been able to protect the treasury for several generations."

Tian Wenyu stood up after hearing this.

He bowed respectfully to the old man.

"Thank you to the Liu family for doing so much for the Zhang family over the years. From today on, you are my uncle. Sister Yuting and I will honor you together."

Tian Wenyu was really moved by the Liu family.

I couldn't afford to be greedy if I were in it.

"I don't have many years to live. I can't move my legs and can only collapse on the bed."

"Only if my daughter takes good care of her, she would have died long ago."

The old man shook his head and said.

"It's going to be different now that I'm here. You've always been paralyzed in your lower limbs, but there's nothing wrong with your upper body. You can live a healthy life."

Tian Wenyu comforted the old man.

The old man smiled and stopped talking about this topic.Instead, he looked at Tian Wenyu seriously.

"In this era, it can be considered stable. When the Liu family comes to my place and hands over the treasury to you, it can be considered as fulfilling its mission."

"You have to find a way to move this treasury away. My only son will also go before me."

"If it continues to be passed down, it will no longer be a pure Liu family."

"Yu Ting and Sun Meng also have only one child. His surname is not Liu, and the child has been extremely greedy since he was a child. He does not meet the conditions for inheriting this yard."

"In this era, we are not allowed to have more children, so my Liu family is no longer suitable to guard the treasury."

"This is also the reason why I have persisted in living all these years. I just hope that you will show up."

"I will pass this treasury to you so that I can go to see my father and ancestors with dignity even after I die."

The old man talked about a lot of the Liu family's methods and also expressed his own thoughts.

Tian Wenyu nodded.

"Is the vault easily accessible? Is it buried underground?"

Tian Wenyu was puzzled. In the past, property was given away once every ten years, which meant that the treasury was easily opened.

"It's easy to open."

"I just don't usually open it."

"The earthen kang under me is the entrance. It turns out that this kang will be dismantled once every ten years when money is put into it."

"The last time it was demolished was 20 years ago."

Uncle Liu said with emotion.

"Has my mother been in there?"

"I went in, and you took out these two pieces of jade from inside."

"Every member of the Zhang family who comes here for the first time will bring out two pieces of jade."

"As a token, pass it on to his descendants."

"That's why I dare to confirm that you are a descendant of the Zhang family after seeing this piece of jade of yours."

"Why did you bring out two pieces? Is there a lot inside?"

Tian Wenyu was very curious about this rule, so he asked.

"The two pieces of jade are to prevent one piece from breaking and breaking the token."

"There should be more than a dozen yuan in it."

Uncle Liu thought for a while and said.

"How much money is there? Can it be loaded on a truck?"

Tian Wenyu especially wants to know how much money the Zhang family has saved over the years.

Uncle Liu was stunned and suddenly laughed.

"It's not as much as you think. There are more than 500 silver ingots and 200 yuan in gold bars. How could such a big car be used?"

After hearing what Uncle Liu said, Tian Wenyu was slightly disappointed.

I thought there were tens of thousands of gold bars.

Thousands of gold bars and hundreds of silver ingots will be fine in future generations, because silver ingots can be valued as antiques.

As of now, it is nothing, and the price of gold cannot be sold at a high price.

He thought of the dozens of gold bars in his hand.

Maybe it was his mother who took it out from here.

After all the labor and effort to move these things, it is better to leave them here first.

Tian Wenyu thought so.

Then he looked at Uncle Liu and said.

"I won't move the vault in the next two years. I will move it again when the time is right."

Uncle Liu was stunned and nodded.

"It's up to you. Anyway, my daughter knows this. Even if I die, she can still help you move."

Tian Wenyu nodded and stopped talking about this topic.

But when it came to Liu Wenting, she had to mention the purpose of her visit.

"Uncle Liu, you have a good son-in-law. I am very optimistic about him. He is a talented person. I want to take him to work with me."

Tian Wenyu talked about his business and introduced it to Uncle Liu.

"This is a good thing, I support it."

Uncle Liu has no objection.

"But with your body and Sister Wen Ting, you may not want him to leave."

Tian Wenyu knew that Uncle Liu definitely didn't have any objections, and the one who did have objections must be Liu Wenting.

After all, my husband travels far away for work, so he definitely lacks care for the family.

"If Wen Ting knew who you were, she would have no objection."

"The ancestral motto is to work for the Zhang family, and she should do it. No matter how big the difficulty is, she just has to find a way to solve it."

Hearing what Uncle Liu said, Tian Wenyu frowned. This is not good. What era has it been? It seems that the mentality of the relationship between master and servant is still stuck.

"That's not okay. It must be done without affecting the family."

Tian Wenyu didn't even know how to change the old man's thinking.

"You don't know that when Miss Six came here, Wen Ting was already 12 years old. Although they only got along for three days, they have already become like sisters."

"If she knew that you were Miss Six's son, she would definitely jump with joy."

The old man said to Tian Wenyu with a smile.
