Traveling through the 1940s, the whole village was massacred at the beginning

Chapter 628: The “Retirement Money” Given by Yu Ning

"Yes, yes, these are all the spoils my father got with great difficulty!" Jiang Jiyun nodded vigorously with excitement and looked at Yu's mother with a proud face.

Yu's mother curiously reached out to take the cloth bag and opened it to take a look.

As soon as she saw what was inside, her face turned pale instantly, her hand shrank back as if she had been electrocuted, and then she quickly covered the cloth bag tightly.

Seeing Yu Mum's reaction, Yu's father became more and more curious. He quickly leaned over to see what was going on.

Unfortunately, he didn't see anything because Yu's mother moved too quickly and covered it tightly.

"Old woman, what are you doing? I can't see it clearly! There are bullet shells inside, right?" Yu's father asked, remembering the conversation he had with his youngest son Yu Ning.

At that time, Yu Ning smiled and said to him, "Dad, when I come back from beating the Japanese, I will bring back some bullet shells for you to play with!"

Yu's father had always been thinking about this incident. His little son would be back after defeating the Japanese, so when he saw the cloth bag, he naturally thought of the bullet shell.

"Old man! Pull the curtain quickly!" Yu's mother's voice was trembling, and she was obviously very scared.

Seeing his wife so nervous, Yu's father understood a little bit. He knew that the things in the cloth bag must be extraordinary.

So he hurried to the door and pulled the tattered straw curtain tightly, for fear that a ray of light would come in.

After drawing the curtain, Yu's father hurried back to the table and lit the candle. The dim candlelight swayed in the darkness, illuminating the entire space.

Yu's mother opened the cloth bag again with trembling hands. When the old couple saw what was inside, they couldn't help but gasp.

"hiss……"

In the cloth bag, gold rings and gold bracelets shone brightly under the candlelight, as did several exquisite watches. Under these valuables was a pile of dollars and gold peanuts, the amount of which was staggering.

Yu's mother and father looked at each other and saw expressions of disbelief in each other's eyes.

They had never seen so much money in their lives, and the shock in their hearts was beyond words.

This shock was soon replaced by surprise. After all, this wealth was an astronomical figure for an ordinary family like theirs.

An ecstatic smile appeared on Yu's mother's face, and Yu's father's beard trembled slightly with excitement.

Just as they were immersed in joy, suddenly Yu's mother's face changed and she glared angrily at her granddaughter sitting next to her.

"That brat Yu Ning just brought things back to you, a child?" Yu's mother's voice was full of reproach and dissatisfaction with her youngest son's unreliability.

Yu's father's beard moved again, and he took a deep breath, as if trying to calm his emotions.

He said with fear: "He must be itching for trouble. He's not afraid of hurting the child. When he comes back, I'm going to give him a good beating!"

"This is not for me. It was brought back for my uncle and his family. Daddy is really a good man." When Jiang Jiyun heard him say that he was going to beat Yu Ning, his nose felt sore and tears came down.

"Be good and don't cry! Grandpa is not going to beat you, he's going to beat your unreliable father." Father Yu explained a little nervously when he saw his little granddaughter crying.

"Wuwuwu... I miss my parents, wuwuwu..." Jiang Jiyun thought of an excuse to cry.

She felt that she was sorry for Yu's father and mother. If it weren't for her, Yu Ning wouldn't have sacrificed himself, and these two old people wouldn't have lost their son. She owed them a huge favor this time!

Jiang Wenming's heart tightened when he heard Jiang Jiyun's cry. Worried, he quickly walked to the curtain and asked softly, "Xiaoyun, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

Yu's mother quickly comforted him, "It's okay, it's okay, the baby just misses his parents, he will be fine after crying for a while."

As she spoke, she gently patted Jiang Jiyun's back and coaxed him softly.

Yu's father quickly packed up the things to avoid being seen by Jiang Wenming, who would misunderstand that his family was worried about them keeping the things, as if they were counting their belongings.

When Jiang Wenming heard Yu's mother say that everything was fine, he breathed a sigh of relief and turned to leave.

Yu's father's eyes fell on the watches, gold rings and dollars, and he found that some of them were stained with blood.

Yu's father's heart sank. The bloodstains made him even more certain that the things in the cloth bag were indeed the "trophies" Yu Ning had obtained while carrying out the mission.

"Oh, your father is such an unreliable thing. Don't you live your own lives? Why did you bring all the things back?" Yu's mother complained anxiously as she looked at the big cloth bag full of things.

Jiang Jiyun quickly explained, "Grandma, don't worry. These things are what Dad left for you for your retirement. They are on a covert mission and really can't show up. They may not be able to contact you often in the future. I took advantage of the school holiday this time to come back to see Grandpa and Grandma."

Jiang Jiyun wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his sleeve, then took out a few photos from his bag, handed them to Yu's mother, and said, "These are the photos everyone took when my uncle got married. Everyone took individual photos."

Yu's mother took the photo, looked at the person in the photo, and a relieved smile appeared on her face.

"This child has loved to laugh since he was young." Yu's mother took the photo and stroked it.

Yu's father also leaned over to take a look, and a smile appeared on his face. "I haven't seen him for eight or nine years. From the time he went away to school to the time he joined the Anti-Japanese War, he rarely came back!"

Yu's mother smiled as she looked at the photo and said, "He quietly went to join the army to fight the Japanese. Later, he would ask people to bring him back letters and money."

"But this brat secretly got married without telling us. How old are you, kid? What's your name?" Yu's father asked Jiang Jiyun.

"I'm six years old. For my own safety, I now have my mother's surname, Jiang, and my name is Jiang Jiyun."

The old couple was stunned when they heard her last name, but accepted it when they realized it was for the safety of their child.

Yu's mother hugged her and said with relief, "They raised you very well. You are this tall at the age of six."

"Hehe..." Jiang Jiyun laughed awkwardly.

"That young man and your uncle are your mother's family, right? Otherwise they wouldn't be willing to leave you to strangers, and their surname was also Jiang when they introduced themselves." Father Yu said as he put the things away.

Yu's mother watched him hiding here and there, but she was worried no matter where he hid.

"Dad, Mom, come out for dinner." A woman's voice came from outside the curtain.

Jiang Jiyun brought Yu's father and mother out and saw Jiang Jiyuan and the others coming over. They were helping to move stones to use as stools.

"Mom, who is this little sister?"

"Why are grandpa and grandma holding her hand?"
