414 The Greed of Relatives
Originally, Chu Yuan had planned this out very well. After Chu Zhang was cured, Chu Zhang’s parents felt guilty towards Chu Zhang. Since they couldn’t give him a good life, they could only bear the pain and give Chu Zhang to him personally.
However. he had not expected Chu Ning to appear… She actually paid off the debt that the Chu family owed him.
“Chu Ming, I heard from Xiao Jing that our dad left us a bunch of antiques before he passed away. Where did you put them?”
Chu Yuan hadn’t spoken. The one who spoke was his wife, a beautiful middle-aged woman who had maintained herself well.
She hadn’t planned on returning at first. She hadn’t even wanted her husband, Chu Yuan, to return.
However, when she thought about the fluctuation in the price of antiques and relics, she felt that it was too much.
It could go from a few hundred yuan to a few million or even tens of millions.
“That’s right, Second Brother. You’re not thinking of taking it all for yourself, are you?” Chu Mei said in a weird tone.
She had come back alone this time, not for anything else but to split the family assets.
Chu Tao didn’t say anything, but he looked at Chu Ming with anticipation.
Father Chu sighed helplessly.
Just as he was about to explain, Chu Ning suddenly spoke.
“Grandpa did leave behind a bunch of valuable treasures before he died, but they’re not here. My father hasn’t found any clues yet, but he didn’t want to hide this fact, so he called you back to discuss it.”
“What? You’re Chu Ming’s daughter, right? What do you mean by that?” The middle-aged lady standing beside Chu Yuan asked in confusion.
Chu Ning’s words had piqued her interest.
“Big Niece, if you have something to say, just say it directly. Why are you being so secretive with us?” Chu Mei suddenly looked warmly at Chu Ning and asked.
“Fourth Aunt, it’s not that I don’t want to tell you, but after Grandpa passed away, he only left behind a few words as clues. We still can’t decipher them, but once we solve the clues, we might be able to find the treasures Grandpa left us.” Chu Ning continued to smile.
These were all things she had just made up in her mind. What treasure could there be?
However, Chu Ning did not feel an ounce of guilt when lying to these people who did not even care about their father’s death due to their greed.
Chu Zhe only thought of an excuse to get his relatives to come back, but Chu Ning did not expose him. Instead, she made it more realistic.
Mr. And Mrs. Chu looked at Chu Ning, who was talking animatedly. If they had not been there, they would have doubted the authenticity of the story.
“Dad, Mom, you guys can go back first.” Chu Ning gave her parents a look, signaling them to leave.
“Eldest Aunt-in-law, Grandpa’s words are like this: The beginning of the first ray of sunlight in the morning and the end of the last afterglow of the evening. It is between them,” Chu Ning said with a serious face, blinking her eyes.
“Big niece, is your Grandpa that cultured? We don’t even understand what you’re saying.” The beautiful woman was even more confused.
“Third Brother, you’re literate. What does Dad mean by that?” Chu Mei was also puzzled.
“Would Dad really say such things?” Eldest Uncle looked at Chu Ning somewhat suspiciously.
But the three of them didn’t dare to deny it.
They couldn’t be sure. After all, they hadn’t been back to their hometown for more than ten years. Only Mr. And Mrs. Chu would take a few days off each year to come back and accompany the old man.
This was also why they had believed Chu Jing’s words without a doubt.
If the old man really did leave any treasures behind, he would indeed think of Chu Ming first.
The human heart was the most complicated, but also the simplest.
Chu Ning’s calculations were accurate.
Unless the three of them didn’t like money and were really filial, they couldn’t get out of this paradox. It was only natural that they would be deceived and played by her.
“Big Brother, I think Dad might really say something like that, because there’s a basis for his words.” Chu Ning’s third uncle, Chu Tao, lifted his glasses and said seriously.
“What Dad means is that, in order for us to find his treasure, we can only move at dawn and have to return before dark. The treasure is buried somewhere on the mountains nearby. We need to find the specific location in our house and observe the position of the sun rising and setting to determine the specific location of the treasure,” Chu Tao said with conviction.
Chu Ning looked at Chu Tao’s serious face and almost burst out laughing.
She had just made up a random sentence, but she hadn’t expected her third uncle to give a seemingly reasonable explanation.
He was really greedy to a certain extent.
After Chu Tao’s words, the eyes of the beautiful woman and Chu Mei shone.
