Traveling through famine: The space peasant girl

Chapter 269 While I Can Protect You

Mr. Liu, who was drinking tea, paused for a moment, remembering that the second son of the Dai family, Dai Yuping, was indeed a cunning man. It would be just right to make his daughter more cunning. The two looked at each other, then lowered their heads to drink tea. At that moment, the marriage of their children was settled.

Dai Yuping accepted it very well. As soon as his father said it, he knew what was going on. He didn't ask for much from his wife, but when he heard that she was someone he could discipline himself, he was interested. He didn't care about what she had done before, so he accepted it very well. He took out a jade pendant with the word "ping" engraved on it that he usually carried with him and gave it to his father. Since they were going to get married, there had to be a token of evidence.

At this time, Liu Ying was still studying the jewelry box in her hand. When she left Jizhou City, she took the box away with her for some unknown reason. She didn't know what secret it had. Except that it was heavier than an ordinary box, there seemed to be no difference.

After Mr. Liu returned home, he saw Liu Ying holding a box and studying it. He didn't say much, but just sat opposite her and watched her study the box.

When Liu Ying saw her father coming back, she quickly put down the box.

"Daddy, you're back."

"Well, what are you doing? Why did you bring your jewelry box with you? Isn't it too heavy?"

Liu Ying frowned and looked at the box. After thinking for a while, she handed it to her father and asked him to try it.

"Dad, the weight of this box is wrong, and mother pays a lot of attention to this box. She always looks at it every time she enters her daughter's room. When I left this time, I took it away directly. I think there should be something in it, right?"

Mr. Liu glanced at his daughter, then fiddled with the box, looked at the carved patterns around it, and slowly turned it. Only then did he discover an inconspicuous small bulge at the bottom that was invisible unless one looked carefully.

Looking at the bulge, Mr. Liu pressed it down without hesitation. As a result, the originally beautiful box inlaid with butterfly shells cracked directly, and some white paper-like things and two pieces of gold appeared from the hollow thick walls around the box.

After opening the papers, Mr. Liu was so angry that he laughed. Five of the papers inside were silver notes for one hundred taels of silver. It was probably the money that Cui Shunrong had saved over the years, or it might be her own medicine money that she had secretly saved and did not give it all directly to the person from the Shao family.

There were also three shop deeds, which were of locations that the Liu family had not had good back then. They were also the deeds of the three shops that he had accidentally lost. Unexpectedly, they had all been hidden by his cousin. Looking at the name on the deeds, it was still his. Was she planning to transfer the name directly after his death?

Two pieces of gold, two taels of gold, no wonder the box is like this, the gold is shining, it seems that I have made a lot of money over the years, otherwise how could this woman save so much money.

Liu Ying didn't dare to speak at all. It was not that she was illiterate. On the contrary, when Mr. Liu took out the shop deed, she became speechless. She didn't dare to speak at all for fear of implicating herself. This had nothing to do with her, really.

Looking at his daughter who was trembling with fear because of him, he suddenly realized why. It was just the mother's fault and he would not blame his daughter.

Even though he would have taken his anger out on the child before, he would still be soft-hearted. After all, how could he be so cruel as to give up on a child he had raised since childhood? So this time he took the child away from the troublemaker, hoping that the child would change his temper after meeting others and not be infected by that person's temper.

A good child cannot have a fickle mother, so she must get married quickly. Before the matter is made public, even if he doesn't say anything, Cui Shunrong is probably not an easy person to deal with.

After thinking about it, she decided to give the deeds of the three shops as a dowry to the child. Her mother had hidden the deeds anyway, and she probably hadn't thought about the child yet. She only wanted to live with her lover. At least her daughter would be taken care of by someone.
