70s Delicate Girl: A Guide to Being a Rich Woman-Chapter 214: Handing Over

Xu Hai stepped aside to let Xu Mumu through. Xu Mumu looked at the lock on the box in front of her and forcefully twisted it open, breaking the box with her hands. They all saw what was inside the box.

Looking at the neatly arranged items inside, Xu Mumu felt the hair on her scalp stand up—it was a box full of bullets.

Hoping for gold and silver, Xu Hai and his wife were greatly disappointed, but they still recognized the items.

"Open the others and take a look." Xu Hai gritted his teeth; these things weren’t meant for them.

With Xu Mumu there, the boxes were quickly opened.

Inside the boxes were many weapons, bullets, some antique paintings and calligraphy, gold and silver jewelry, and several boxes of Yuan Datou coins.

"Grandpa, what should we do now?" Xu Mumu was troubled.

"Take a little from these two boxes, and hand over the rest." Xu Minghui was the first to speak. Taking any of these things out, if discovered, would be a serious crime.

Xu Minghui was referring to the boxes containing gold, silver, and jade jewelry.

"Listen to Minghui. These things can’t be taken out even if we take them home." Old Xu nodded; they needed to be lucky to keep hold of this treasure.

"Don’t take too much or anything too conspicuous." Seeing his mother already packing things, Xu Minghui immediately spoke.

"Understood." Li Caixia pouted in dissatisfaction but said nothing more, knowing her son was right, although she still felt a bit unhappy.

Xu Mumu picked out a pair of jade bracelets. The jade quality was excellent; she had never seen jade bracelets with such fine texture.

She tried them on her wrist; they looked quite nice, but she couldn’t wear them out.

Suddenly, her mother slipped something around her neck. Xu Mumu looked—it was a pearl necklace, and the style was quite nice too.

"Alright," Old Xu reminded them, and only then did the people packing things stop.

Xu Xue had packed a lot of jewelry into her small bag. She never expected there really would be treasure on the mountain. With these things, she could start a business anytime in the future; selling any of them would provide enough capital, and the rest could be kept as family heirlooms.

"Everyone head back. The eldest and second eldest will stay here and watch over these things. Minghui, you come to town with me." Old Xu seriously addressed the Xu family.

"Got it, Dad. Don’t worry, we’ll keep watch here." Xu Hai said contentedly. Hey, with these things, his son could marry any girl he wanted.

"And you all, keep your mouths shut. If anyone dares to speak of this, don’t blame me for being unkind." Old Xu glanced at the wives and the young ones.

"Dad, we wouldn’t harm ourselves, you can rest assured." Li Caixia said happily.

"The one I’m least assured about is you." Old Xu coldly laughed.

After arranging the people, Old Xu and the others left, leaving Xu Hai and Xu Jiang behind to guard here.

Back home, Xu Mumu put away the things.

"Sis, these are all for you." Xu Minglei handed over all the things he had collected to Xu Mumu.

"Oh my silly brother, do you know how much these things are worth?" Xu Mumu’s mouth twitched. This silly boy.

"I don’t like these things." Xu Minglei said indifferently.

"Fine, I’ll keep them for you. Until you’re older, for schooling, marriage, and all that." Xu Mumu thought for a moment and took the things.

"Still a long way off." Xu Minglei pursed his lips and didn’t say much.

Xu Mumu found an earthen jar under her bed and put the items inside, wrapping Xu Minglei’s again with a cloth.

Outside, Li Caixia watched this scene and said nothing. With these things, they could be saved for her daughter’s dowry. Once married off, she could be waited on for a lifetime.

Li Caixia herself took quite a lot, probably the most out of everyone, with the men’s and son’s things now with her, except for Xu Mumu’s and Xu Minglei’s which were stored separately.

Back in her room, Li Caixia was worried about how to hide these treasures. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Her room had hidden many good things, but these were too valuable to just stash away.

Meanwhile, Old Xu and Xu Minghui quickly reached the town and went straight to the police station to report the case. No choice; with so many weapons inside, they couldn’t be left anywhere else.

This matter quickly attracted the police station’s attention, and Xu Minghui and the others were brought to the Red River Team.

The team wasn’t new to visits from the police; many people were startled but no one dared to ask too much.

Xu Minghui and Old Xu walked ahead of the group; the team leader Zhao Guodong soon came over.

"Officer, I am the team leader of the Red River Team. Please tell me what’s going on? Our team doesn’t seem to have anyone committing crimes." Zhao Guodong felt nervous; if not for Xu and his grandson appearing fine, he’d have been worried Old Xu’s family had committed a crime.

"Something was found on the mountain. Tell the team members not to head up there for the next few days." A middle-aged officer said seriously.

"Yes, yes, yes, I’ll inform the team members soon." Zhao Guodong nodded repeatedly, even though they didn’t specify. He dared not ask more, knowing it must be serious. After these people left, he would ask Old Xu’s family.

At home, Xu Mumu saw those officers passing by her house, but she remained calm, while others felt a bit guilty.

The pile of things on the mountain was carried away not long after by the officers, with barriers to prevent people from seeing, to avoid any panic.

"Honey, scared me to death. Thankfully, those officers didn’t say anything." Xu Hai collapsed onto the bed, not wanting to move. He secretly hid a few things; those officers glanced at him a few times without saying anything, but their eyes spoke volumes.

"Where’s what you hid? Quick, give it to me to store properly. It’ll get damaged on you." Li Caixia couldn’t care less if he was scared. She was thinking of having Xu Hai secretly stash more things when they left.

Xu Hai rolled his eyes but still handed over the things he secretly hid, all small items, which were easier to store.

"Not bad, our family fortune just got richer." Li Caixia said happily, holding the items.

The treasures were hidden away, and the team leader came over. Old Xu talked with the leader in the main room.

Xu Mumu brewed some tea and served it to the team leader and others.
