Chapter 425 is so tragic, it's a wife-chasing crematorium 14
Zhao Wutong returned to the ward.
She heard the old lady and her mother praising her.
Zhao Wutong was a little embarrassed.
Actually, she often didn't go home before, saying she was working outside.
But little did she know that as she grew up, her mother was growing old.
It was only after so many things happened in her family that she realized her mother was getting old and needed someone to take care of her.
When she was little, her mother took care of her.
Now it's her turn to take care of her mother.
"Grandma, here's your hot water."
"Girl, thank you."
The old lady seemed quite happy, and appeared to be having a pleasant conversation with her mother.
"Thank you, young lady. We've all been so busy that we haven't had time for these little things."
The old lady's son also expressed his gratitude.
Zhao Wutong returned to her mother's side.
Mom is much more energetic now, and she can even sit up right now.
The two continued their conversation.
The two reminisced about the past, talking about things from their childhood.
As Zhao Wutong listened, she realized that her mother and the old lady were quite different in age, by about ten or twenty years.
How come they can talk about this together?
As I listened, it seemed that the old lady and her mother were from the same place.
It seems she has never heard her mother talk about her childhood.
As they talked, the conversation turned to the wooden box that the grandmother had left for the mother.
Jiang He gestured to Zhao Wutong to take the wooden box out of the cabinet.
The old lady next door is no ordinary old lady.
The old lady's son is in the antique business.
The old lady was originally a young lady from a wealthy family.
This house has many old items.
It seems she has found a buyer today.
This also allowed Zhao Wutong to learn the value of the wooden box through their words.
So that she wouldn't have to look for someone else.
This was a keepsake left to her by her mother, which would normally be something she would treasure with her.
It wouldn't be taken out and shown to people on the street without permission.
I ran into an old lady today; she and her mother are from the same place.
Those descriptions were exactly the same as what her mother had told her.
But her mother never told her where her maternal grandparents' home was, nor did she ever take her there.
Hearing what the old lady said now, Jiang He felt a sense of warmth and familiarity.
The old lady might even be an old acquaintance of her mother.
It's understandable that she wants to know more about her memories of her mother.
"Old sister, look, this is what my mother left me."
Unfortunately, I lost the key, so I can't open the lock.
I was afraid that forcing it open would damage the wooden box, so I never opened it to look at it.
I wonder what my mother left inside, whether it was any proof of her identity.
The old lady's son came over and examined the wooden box carefully.
"This wooden box is made of fine huanghuali wood and is very well preserved."
Even today, this box would have immense collectible value.
The old brass lock in this box is also worth collecting.
The rust is probably from being there for too long. I can think of a way to find someone to open it.
If this lock is broken directly, it will be ruined.
If I can remove it completely, I'm willing to pay three thousand yuan for this lock.
I'll pay for the job.
The old lady's son became more and more excited as he looked at it.
Jiang He hesitated for a moment, then agreed.
She also wanted to open the box to see what her mother had left for her.
As for the lock, let's just recycle it.
The old lady's son received approval and immediately went to call the contact person.
Zhao Wutong looked at her mother, then at the wooden box.
How come she had so many valuable things in her house?
Her mother is surrounded by influential people.
I rescued a jade merchant by the roadside earlier.
The stone her mother used to pickle vegetables had unexpectedly yielded jade.
The old lady in the same hospital room as my mother was a young lady from a wealthy family.
The woman now suspected to be her mother's mother, or her maternal grandmother, may also have been a person of status.
However, something may have happened along the way, forcing them to leave their hometown.
The lock alone is worth so much; imagine what might be inside.
Zhao Wutong couldn't even imagine how precious the things her grandmother had left her mother were.
Perhaps the things that my grandmother left behind can really change their lives.
From a young age, Zhao Wutong relied on her mother for support.
The mother and daughter had a very tough time.
Zhao Wutong was very eager for money.
Her biggest wish is to have lots and lots of money, to be a big boss, and to make a fortune.
To live a life where you don't have to worry about money.
The driver contacted by the old lady's son has arrived.
The craftsman brought a unique solution and applied it to the rusty areas.
Zhao Wutong couldn't understand the craftsman's technique, but in the end, he managed to remove the rusty copper lock intact.
The craftsman continued to treat and repair the rust on the brass lock.
The old lady's son also transferred three thousand yuan to Zhao Wutong to buy the copper lock.
Jiang He held the wooden box, her hands trembling slightly.
"Tongtong, let's open it together and take a look."
"Okay, Mom, let's do it together."
Zhao Wutong could tell that her mother was very nervous.
There might be a photo of her grandmother, or letters, or other things inside.
The box slowly opened.
Zhao Wutong felt a bright light flash in her eyes.
When Zhao Wutong received the box, he felt that it was very heavy.
There must be something inside.
But I didn't expect it to contain so many things.
The box itself is quite large, measuring 20 centimeters in length, width, and height.
When I opened it, the box was completely full.
The topmost items are several pieces of gold jewelry.
Even if Zhao Wutong didn't know anything about these things, he knew that the golden thing on top was goldware.
The price of gold is not low now, meaning that the price of these gold items will not be low if they are directly recycled.
Not to mention the special craftsmanship involved.
If it's sold to a collector, the price will be even higher.
Moreover, the very top of this box contains such valuable items.
Zhao Wutong dared not imagine what the contents of the bottom would be.
Below the gold jewelry were several jade bracelets and pendants.
Zhao Wutong didn't understand jade bracelets and pendants, and didn't know whether these jades were good or ordinary.
Further down, there was a box of grape-sized pearls.
This was the first time Zhao Wutong had ever seen such a large pearl.
There are also some silver dollars and coins below.
In any case, neither of them are the current circulating currency.
In addition, there is a land title.
Jiang He and Zhao Wutong looked at each other in bewilderment; these things were beyond their comprehension.
There were many things, but for Jiang He, there was nothing that could identify her as her mother.
To her, these things were no different from inanimate objects.
The contents of the box are not as significant to Jiang He as the box itself.
"Xiao Jiang, if you trust your older sister, let me, your son, take a look at these things for you."
"Older sister, of course I trust you."
Please take a look at this for me.
The old lady's son put on gloves, spread a cloth on the table, and carefully placed the items on it.
