Rebirth 90: The Long Road to Finding a Son

That night, Grandpa Sun handed the ancient book and the copy to Luo and his son, giving them a few days to check the contents of the ancient book and the copy. Although it is called a copy, it is actually nearly a hundred years old.

In addition to the transcript brought over today, the Sun family also has another transcript.

Luo Changgeng and his son did not expect that the Sun family would trust them to this extent, and they were deeply moved. In order to live up to the trust of the Sun family, Luo Changgeng carefully locked the two ancient books in the safe.

Although there were people at the Luo family every day, it was better to be cautious just in case. After doing this, Luo Changgeng personally wrote a receipt similar to a letter of commitment to the Sun father and son, and he and Old Master Luo signed and stamped their fingerprints on it, promising to return the original ancient book in three days.

After settling this matter, Mr. Sun breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he could finally sleep soundly today.

His father got into trouble because of this incident. His restaurant was burned down and he died of anger. Although the culprit was not caught, his mother knew very well that it was all caused by the ancient book.

He was really scared by the matter of the ancient books, and was afraid that he would bring disaster to his family. Now that the ancient books were sent away, he felt relieved and felt that his family's life finally had a direction.

After Luo Changgeng got such a treasure, he arranged all the affairs of the Chinese medicine clinic and simply stayed at home for three days without going out, just to finish proofreading the transcript as soon as possible.

Three days later, Sun Aimin came to send Sun Mian to study. Luo Changgeng returned the original as promised. Old Man Sun also came with him, took out the letter of commitment and tore it up on the spot. In the past few days, the two families felt as thrilling as if they were meeting with underground party members.

Afterwards, Sun Aimin contacted the National Museum of Classic Books and successfully completed the donation, and also received a donation certificate. In addition, the museum also applied for a subsidy of 2000 yuan for Sun's family.

Since this ancient book has high research value, the news also made special coverage of the donation ceremony.

In Jiangyuan City, Qin Xingzhou, the third brother-in-law of Zhan Jinhua and the husband of Zhan Tiehua, looked at the ancient book cover flashing on the TV news. His body, which was originally slouching on the sofa, suddenly straightened up and pointed at the TV screen unconsciously, saying, "This, this can't be the treasure that my grandfather has always been thinking about, right?"

The grandfather that Qin Xingzhou mentioned was Sun Aimin's second grandfather, that is, Mr. Sun's second uncle. This old man was a gambler when he was young, and it was precisely because he owed a lot of gambling debts that he wanted to take the ancestral treasure.

As a result, he failed to ask for the money from Grandpa Sun Aimin, and he became resentful and started the fire himself. The two families lost contact and never met again.

Later, because Old Man Qin could not pay off his gambling debts, he was beaten half to death by debt collectors and one of his legs was left disabled.

He blamed all his misfortunes on his eldest brother's failure to save him. Even though his eldest brother was devastated by the fire and passed away soon after, he still did not give up the idea of ​​monopolizing the family heirloom.

After much inquiry, he finally found out where his eldest brother's widow, Grandma Sun Aimin, was. Because they lived in poverty and the Sun family was large, he was unable to force them to hand over the treasure.

He could only spy on the Sun family's every move in secret. It happened that his only son, Qin Xingzhou's father, was accidentally beaten to death in his twenties because of a conflict with someone. Qin Xingzhou was only five years old at that time. This happened twenty-five years ago.

The man who beat Qin Xingzhou's father to death had some power in Qingyang City, so he went to negotiate a private settlement with the Qin family. In the end, Old Man Qin proposed a settlement condition. In addition to a generous financial compensation, he also used the evidence in his hand that the other party had accidentally beaten someone to death, and asked the other party to keep an eye on the movements of the Sun family and trap the Sun family in the village.

He only told the other party that the two families were enemies for generations, but did not explain the specific reason. He was worried that if the treasure he had been thinking about was targeted by others, he would have no chance to get it. This was also the reason why the Sun family had no luck in everything they did in Qingyang City.

At that time, Qin Xingzhou was still young, and one can imagine how difficult his mother's life was as a single mother in that era.

After receiving the death compensation for his son, Old Man Qin gave half to Qin Xingzhou's mother, saying that it was the full compensation. With this money, Qin Xingzhou's mother was able to get rid of the hardship of life and raised Qin Xingzhou well.

It is also because of this that Qin Xingzhou's mother has always been good to Old Man Qin and Old Lady Qin, and promised to take care of them in their old age and see them to the end of their lives.

Today, Qin Xingzhou's mother has passed away due to myocardial infarction for eight years, and Mrs. Qin also passed away two years later. However, old man Qin is still alive and well. Apart from Alzheimer's disease, he is still in good health.

Old man Qin is now 88 years old and has suffered from Alzheimer's disease for more than ten years. It was from that time that the enemies who killed Qin Xingzhou's father were no longer subject to the threats of old man Qin, and the Sun family gradually got rid of the situation of living under the surveillance of strangers.

Qin Xingzhou only heard from his mother that his father died in a fight with someone, but his family never told him who the other party was.

However, Old Man Qin often mentioned the treasures in the hands of the Sun family. Every time he mentioned it, he gritted his teeth and said that the Sun family had robbed the Qin family of their treasures.

Now, Qin Xingzhou saw the ancient book described by Old Man Qin on TV. In addition, the news mentioned that the donor's surname was Sun, which made Qin Xingzhou suddenly think of the treasure that his grandfather often mentioned that even the enemy country was eager to get.

He pointed at the TV news and cursed angrily: "Is this family sick? Don't they know that the treasure is priceless? What's the difference between giving 2,000 yuan and giving it to someone for free? This family has really gone crazy over the years, right?"

Afterwards, he hurried back to the house and helped the sometimes lucid and sometimes confused old man Qin out of the house, saying, "Grandpa, look at this on TV. Is this the treasure you mentioned?"

Old Man Qin's mind was in a state of chaos at this time, but when he heard Qin Xingzhou mention "baby", his eyes immediately lit up: "Baby, baby, my baby, it's worth a lot of money. Take it back, sell it for money, sell it for money..."

The ancient book handed down from the Qin family seemed to have become the old man Qin's lifelong obsession. Even at his octogenarian age, when his mind was already confused, he still had not forgotten that very valuable treasure.

Qin Xingzhou frowned and said, "I would like to snatch it back and sell it for money, but now it has been sold to the country. Do I dare to snatch it?"
