[106] Accumulating virtue and repaying grievances
Zhong Kui took the package handed over by the old lady and felt that it was a little heavy. He couldn't help but glance at her suspiciously, secretly wondering what was in the package.
Familiarly, when Zhong Kui raised his eyes to look at the old lady, she was also looking at him with her cloudy old eyes, and she also babbled for him to open it and take a look without fear.
Zhong Kui untied the bow of the package. The blue floral fabric was very thick in texture. After he opened it, the four corners spread out... What was revealed in the package were two piles of long, round things stuffed with oil paper.
"this……"
"Open it." The old lady said in an unambiguous tone.
Zhong Kui peeled off a layer of oil paper to reveal the contents. He carefully counted forty Yuan Datou silver coins.
This silver dollar is a good thing. The public coin contains 95% silver and the private coin contains about 80%. Why should we distinguish between public coin and private coin? It is said that in the late Qing Dynasty, a large number of Japanese pirates invaded China, resulting in the loss of a large number of silver coins.
, and counterfeiting techniques also emerged.
The way to distinguish true and false silver coins is that the true silver coins are white and translucent, soft and malleable. When struck, the sound is crisp and pleasant, the layout is smooth, the edges are well-proportioned, the pictures and text are natural and generous, and there are traces of circulation wear. Stored in
The silver coins at home have a hard and fine ancient black color, while those buried in the ground will develop some irregular hard green rust.
Zhong Kui also knew how to verify the authenticity, but he was too embarrassed to give it up in front of the old lady.
I don’t know whether he was frightened by the sudden sight of so many rare objects, or whether Zhong Kui remembered what the female ghost said. Is this silver dollar a burial gift of the female ghost? Or...
When the old lady saw Zhong Kui holding the silver dollar in a daze, she became anxious. She coughed twice and said, "Take it quickly and exchange it for your daughter."
It seemed that the old lady was really confused. She didn’t know that so many silver dollars would have to be exchanged for so many vanillas! She actually asked to exchange them all.
Thinking of this, Zhong Kui looked at the old lady and said seriously: "Grandma, you'd better put it away and don't take it out casually. If someone with ill intentions sees it, it will lead to death.
"
"What are you afraid of? With so many little ghosts accompanying me, and a big ghost like you at home, who dares to come?"
Scared! The old lady's words not only shocked Zhong Kui, but also stunned the kiddos who didn't dare to utter a word. The old lady had long known that there were other things in the house, but she just didn't touch them.
Zhong Kui laughed twice, his face froze, and he couldn't even speak clearly: "Grandma... you are confused! What kind of kid... ah!"
"Go! Don't fool me. My bones are stiff and the rest are not scrapped. I understand. I understand that this silver dollar is not dirty money. It is the dowry money given to me by my father and mother. It was originally
I wanted to leave it to the unlucky bastard to get a wife, but I didn't expect that he was in trouble. Later, I wanted to leave it to him to make a coffin book, but wasn't he anxious to wait for the money? So! Money is something outside the body, as long as someone is competing with it
Everything is fine, you can exchange it for your daughter, and you can do whatever business you want with the rest, my old lady will be relying on you from now on."
"Grandma!" After listening to the old man's words, Zhong Kui knelt down and said, "Grandma, please keep this money. I know what to do about saving the girl, and I will honor you in the future."
, you can enjoy your retirement with peace of mind."
"Then you promise me to get the vanilla back as soon as possible." The old lady took the package presented by Zhong Kui and asked him.
"Well, no problem." After saying that, Zhong Kui stood up, called the seven little ghosts, and gave him such instructions.
Zhong Kui is trying to save Vanilla and hates the miserly boss for being unreasonable.
Vanilla sat in the corner without saying a word, no matter how much the landlady and the boss used words to attack each other, she remained indifferent.
The boss's idiot son was standing aside, his eyes were like two expressionless glass beads, and the corners of his mouth were dripping with laughter that he couldn't even wipe away. He put his thick and fat fingers on Vanilla's shoulders and kept shouting: "My wife, follow me."
Go to bed."
Vanilla glared at this pig-like fool angrily, pulled his hand away angrily, and said disgustedly: "Come on, who is your wife?"
"Okay! You damn girl, you actually dare to scold my son." The landlady picked up a feather duster angrily and tried to beat the vanilla.
Vanilla stood up in confusion, grabbed the feather duster from the other party, and defended loudly: "You take me in, and I will work for you. The papermaker was busy until midnight, and you didn't give me a penny of wages. What else do you want?"
Because the landlady was thick and fat, she was not as tall as Vanilla. When she grabbed her elbow, she shouted angrily: "Master, look at this damn girl who repays evil with kindness. She is going to rebel."
The boss became even more furious when he saw that his wife was being offended and that the one who bullied his wife was this cheap girl he picked up from the roadside.
He remained silent but picked up the paper man's bamboo strips, raised his arms and swung it hard at the vanilla. With a soft "swish" sound, the strips rose in a semi-circular arc in mid-air.
, with the cold wind falling hard on Vanilla's fair face.
Vanilla had no time to avoid it, and a blood-red streak immediately appeared on her face. She was in pain, dropped the arm that was holding the boss's wife, and turned around to glare at the boss fiercely.
The eyes were filled with resentment, hatred, and endless humiliation. The sharp eyes were as sharp as a thorn in the back, forcing the boss to tremble. At the same time, he stared at the sight that was still imprinted on Vanilla's face a few seconds ago.
The streak of blood dissipated in the blink of an eye, and his face returned to its original state, as if he had never been beaten at all.
"You...you" the boss panicked and stammered. He didn't say a single word for a long time.
The boss was frightened and retreated step by step. The anxious and unaware wife thought her husband was cowardly and cowardly, so she yelled and yelled: "You coward, you can't even take care of a girl's movie, how can you still do big things?
"
Vanilla was too lazy to pay attention to this precious couple. She smiled coldly and said, "Go find your precious son!"
After being reminded by Vanilla, the landlady and the boss remembered that in order to deal with Vanilla, they had neglected their precious son. They both hurriedly shouted: "Bao'er, Bao'er..."
Where is their baby!
Just when the proprietress picked up the feather duster and wanted to beat the vanilla, the idiot boy suddenly saw a little man slipping in through the gap in the closed wooden door. The little man waved to him and motioned to play with him.
The idiot smiled cheerfully, leaving his parents and Vanilla behind, and followed the little man indifferently.
It was a rare thing that the owner of the funeral shop had lost his idiot. The next day, the news spread throughout the streets and alleys of the county.
Vanilla is still working in the store as usual. The proprietress and the boss are running around looking for the child and have no time to take care of the store's business. This is all thanks to this dead girl who disobeys them.
Because the boss was looking for his son, he temporarily forgot about Vanilla's abnormality.
