Chapter 1356 A Lot of Money

These things are all kinds of gold and jade jewelry, and there are several heavy gold bars at the bottom. During the Republic of China, the country was in turmoil and it was a time of chaos. Nothing worked, only these gold and jade things did not depreciate.

Therefore, the ancestors of the Zhou family exchanged some antiques and paintings for these things, which can be circulated at any time.

Qin Se looked at the box full of jewels and asked, "So, our family is actually quite rich, right?"

Just take out the small box of things in her hand, maybe they can exchange the villa they live in now for two sets.

It may not be worth so much money, but anyway, it can be sold for a lot of money. This bracelet with such good water head can always be worth one or two hundred thousand.

Zhou Ping picked up a **** pendant, "Not bad..."

Qin Se asked Zhou Ping: "Then why did you work so hard when I was a child?"

As far as Qin Se can remember, Zhou Ping was very busy, setting up a stall to tell fortunes, going out to perform rituals for people, and sometimes doing some other odd jobs. It was very hard. When he was busy, he could only eat one meal a day.

Zhou Ping smiled: "I was a widow with two children. If I really spent money lavishly, I would live many times richer than others. Do you think there would be less trouble? Sometimes, even if you have a lot of money, you may not be able to keep it. What's more, these things are too valuable. If you take any of them out, in our small place, you sell them the day before, and everyone will know about it the next day. Then our family will have no peace..." Zhou Ping knew that people were vicious at that time. Besides, widows have the most gossips, and they are also good-looking widows. Many people are staring at her. If you have treasures, you must have the ability to protect them. If you don't have the ability to protect them, you can't let others know. Zhou Ping knew this truth very well. Moreover, at that time, their family was not so poor that they couldn't make ends meet. She still had hands and feet and could support two children. It was just a little tiring, but it was not the end of the road. Qin Se reached out and hugged Zhou Ping: "Mom, you've worked hard..."

Zhou Ping patted her arm: "It wasn't that hard. Although I didn't let you live a rich life when you were young, I never let you starve or freeze. It's the life of an ordinary person. It's not good. Safety is the most important."

At that time, Zhou Ping had no one to help her.

She could only rely on herself. The death of her husband made her realize that nothing is more important than safety.

She just wanted her two children to grow up safely and healthily.

There was only one time when she moved the things in it. It was many years ago when Qin Zheng had an acute illness and the family didn't have that much money. Zhou Ping took the least valuable thing and ran to the city to sell it before returning.

Qin Zheng nodded vigorously: "Hmm..."

"Mom, why did you show me these today?"

"You're getting married soon, I have to give you some dowry."

Qin Se shook his head: "I don't want these anymore, these are your things, you can keep them... And, shouldn't these be... passed on to your daughter-in-law? You gave all of this to me, and when Xiao Zheng gets married, what will you give her?"

Zhou Ping said: "I'm this age, what's the use of these for me? Besides, why give these to Qin Zheng, dowry has always been given to daughters when they get married, and his wife's dowry was given by his mother-in-law, and I'm not his mother-in-law..."
