A wealthy family recognizes my relatives? But I am already a billionaire.

Because the house has been in arrears on electricity for too long, the wires have been cut off and it will take until tomorrow at the earliest for someone to come and connect the wires.

But Xu Youyou was afraid that the night would be long and she would have more dreams, so she didn't dare to wait any longer.

The room was filled with miscellaneous items, most of which were waste that the Xie family had thrown in and were inconvenient to dispose of.

Xu Youyou held up the flashlight on her cell phone, walked into the kitchen, followed the system's prompts, and stopped behind the stove.

The house is a bit old and uses an old-fashioned wood stove. Even Xie Datou's family doesn't use wood anymore.

It is also for this reason that behind the stove there is not only a small stool with a missing leg, but also a pile of messy firewood as high as Xu Youyou's knees.

A thick layer of dust had accumulated on the firewood.

Xu Youyou placed her cell phone with the flashlight on on the dirty stove, with the light shining directly on the messy firewood on the ground.

She hesitated for a long time, but finally decided to do it herself. She put on a pair of work gloves she bought on the road and moved the firewood aside with swift movements.

After working for nearly half an hour, Xu Youyou finally cleared out all the firewood, leaving only the dirty ground.

This old-style bungalow doesn't even have a cement floor, the ground is compacted yellow dirt.

The system instructions poked straight into the ground.

"Anything dug out of the soil belongs to the country," said Xu Youyou.

The system slowly explained: [Clearly explain the origin and whereabouts of items. Family heirlooms are not considered state property.]

Xu Youyou was stunned when she heard this, and understood the system's hint, but the ground had been compacted for a long time and had become extremely hard. It was obviously not something she could dig with her hands.

The door of the dilapidated bungalow was opened, and Xu Youyou walked out covered in dust.

"Boss?" Xu Fang stepped forward with a look of surprise on her face, brushing off the dust from Xu Youyou's body. Seeing Xu Youyou's current condition, she couldn't help but wonder if the boss had rolled on the ground several times. She then said, "You can just let us help clean up, why do you have to do it yourself?"

Xu Youyou shook her head and said to the bodyguard who was standing nearby: "Go buy some farm tools like shovels and hoes, and also buy a few barrels of mineral water."

The bodyguard didn't ask any more questions and turned and drove out of the alley.

It is now late at night, but Xu Youyou has no intention of leaving, so the others can only stay here. Anyway, Xu Youyou will pay high overtime pay in this situation.

Half an hour later, the bodyguard returned with a complete set of farm tools, including shovels and hoes.

Xu Youyou didn't let anyone else do it, and walked in personally carrying the farm tools and several buckets of water.

The soil on the ground was too hard, so Xu Youyou poured two buckets of water on it.

The sufficiently moist ground became much softer, and when Xu Youyou swung the hoe, she did not encounter much resistance.

When Xu Youyou was in the orphanage, she only picked up some garbage. She had never done farm work directly like today. After a while, she was so tired that her back and waist ached.

After digging for more than half an hour, her hoe finally touched something.

Xu Youyou cheered up and immediately dug the thing out of the soil. It was a box the size of a takeout box.

The box was wrapped in three layers of sacks, but due to the erosion of time, the outer layer had rotted beyond recognition.

Xu Youyou untied the sacks and threw them aside. She shook the wooden box but heard no sound, so the things inside should not be heavy. Seeing the copper lock hanging on the black wooden box, she hesitated for a moment and chose to smash the lock open.

"You're not afraid that the truly valuable items are the boxes and locks." The system suddenly spoke.

Xu Youyou's heart skipped a beat, but she hadn't learned anything during this period. She said, "This box is just made by an ordinary carpenter. It's painted on the outside and doesn't even have any carvings. How can it be valuable? The same goes for this copper lock."

The system is silent.

After Xu Youyou opened the box, she found that it was also wrapped in layers. After finally removing the protective materials, only two things were exposed. She changed into a pair of clean gloves before she dared to touch them.

The first one is the family tree.

"Genealogy of the Zeng Family". After Xu Youyou opened it, she saw that the first name on the genealogy was Zeng Wendigong, followed by an introduction to his life, also written in classical Chinese, but Xu Youyou immediately knew who this person was.

"Zeng Gong! One of the Eight Great Masters of Tang and Song Dynasties!"

She carefully picked up another thing. It was only a piece of paper, but it was well kept.

"This looks like a letter." Xu Youyou said.

The handwriting on the paper was clear. It took Xu Youyou a while to understand that this letter was written by Zeng Gong to his younger brother Zeng Bu. The letter was full of earnest words, advising his younger brother to be diligent in his official duties. It didn't seem like he was teaching his younger brother, but more like he was teaching his son.

Xu Youyou checked the two people again. Zeng Gong was seventeen years older than his younger brother. Zeng Gong lost his father at the age of eighteen. His younger brother was only one year old at that time. It is not an exaggeration to say that the eldest brother is like a father.

Xu Youyou was a common person, and she immediately looked up the value of Zeng Gong's letters on the Internet.

"So valuable?" Xu Youyou searched for "The Bureau Post", the first one that popped up, and rubbed her hands excitedly.

"Jushi Tie" is the only calligraphy work handed down by Zeng Gong. It is also a letter. It has been auctioned several times. The last auction was in 2016, with a price of million yuan. It is truly a book worth ten thousand gold.

Xu Youyou carefully put the paper away and kept it close to her body. She turned around and stuffed the box back into the ground, then filled it with soil and even put the firewood back into place.

It was already three in the morning when she finished all this.

The people waiting outside were already drowsy.

The sound of Xu Youyou opening the door scared them so much that they almost jumped up.

"Let's go back to the hotel." Xu Youyou said.

In the eyes of several people, Xu Youyou looked like she had just returned from mining. Her head and face were all dirty, and her brand-name bag worth hundreds of thousands of dollars was also extremely dirty. She was holding a book (family tree) in her arms, but her eyes were surprisingly bright.

Xu Youyou asked someone to lock the door of the old bungalow before returning to the hotel.

She slept until noon.

After lunch, she idly flipped through her family tree which was in a blank state.

Although this is the genealogy of Zeng Gong, it was actually recorded by the descendants of Zeng Bu.

"Wang Shengli mentioned earlier, what was the surname of the original owner of that house?" Xu Youyou asked Xu Fang.

Xu Fang hesitated for a moment before saying, "My surname is Zeng. It's not a very common surname."

Xu Fang thought to herself that next time she would get a small notebook and write down everything she heard, so that she could answer Xu Youyou when she asked her questions suddenly.

Xu Youyou immediately pieced together the legal path by which she obtained this thing. Qian Datou inherited the Zeng family's house as a relative, and then sold the house to Xu Youyou. Xu Youyou unexpectedly found priceless letters from Zeng Gong in the house.

There is a real estate sales contract, written in black and white, which shows that everything in the house belongs to Xu Youyou. Even if Qian Datou wants to make a fuss, he can't.

Besides, Xu Youyou will take the things away in two days. A collection of this level must be auctioned by a big auction house.
