Chapter 885 Burial Objects
After hearing what Mrs. Li said, Li Moer was so angry that she gritted her teeth. She didn't expect that her grandfather and two uncles were so cruel that they actually sold her mother in exchange for a bag of brown rice.
Mrs. Li patted Li Moer's hand and said, "Then the traffickers brought her to us. I saw that your mother and father were about the same age, so I spent eight dollars to buy her and raised her. I waited until she was eighteen years old before consummating the marriage for them!"
Li Moer asked: "Then my grandma is still alive and you don't know, right?"
Li Moer thought for a moment and said, "Grandma, Great Grandma, Master's wife, I plan to go and see my grandma tomorrow. If she's still alive and doing well, I'll give her some supplies and money. If she's not doing well, I'll bring her home to take care of her in her old age. Is that okay with you?"
The three of them nodded after hearing this, and the grandmother said, "Of course you can. She was so protective of your mother back then, so she must be the right person. With her here, we have an extra partner to play cards with!"
Li Moer was very pleased. She felt that her sincere treatment of these old ladies was not in vain. In the evening, she and Zhao Yunting entered the space. Zhao Yunting saw that Li Moer was in a bad mood. He pulled her aside and comforted her with warm words for a long time. Li Moer told him about her mother's experience and said that she wanted to go and see if her grandmother was still alive.
After listening to what Li Moer said, Zhao Yunting was silent for a while and then said, "Well, let's go there tomorrow. First, let's see if grandma is still alive, and then see what kind of character our uncles have. If they are good, we will help them. If they are not, we will just pretend we have never met them! Don't worry, grandma is such a good person, she will definitely live a long life!"
Since Li Moer was in a bad mood, the two of them didn't do anything shameless. They only stayed in the space for two days before coming out to sleep.
The next morning, after breakfast, Li Moer and Zhao Yunting, dressed neatly, boarded the helicopter and flew to Datong.
A few hours later, the two men looked at this mountain where future coal bosses would emerge from the helicopter. There were traces of mining everywhere. After parking the helicopter, the two men walked in Maozao Town which was filled with the smell of coal smoke.
When I spread my thoughts out, I found that every household was not short of food and drink like in other places.
Because it is particularly cold this year, the coal business is particularly good and the price is much higher than in previous years, so every household is doing well. Normally, the labor force in the family goes to work in the coal mine. When they are not working, they go to the mountains to privately mine some coal blocks and then sell them when they have enough in winter.
Zhao Yunting went to a small privately owned store and bought two cans of yellow peaches and two cans of malted milk. He then asked the owner, "Boss, I'd like to ask if there's a family in our town with the surname Wang who has three sons and one daughter."
When the boss heard the handsome young man asking about the Wang family, he said without hesitation, "Of course I know the Wang family. They're the only family with the surname Wang in our town, and they're the richest in town. The eldest and second brother contracted a coal mine together last year. Unexpectedly, it's a huge mine. The coal in it is of high quality, with few impurities, and it burns very well. The two brothers have made a fortune in the past two years. But the youngest, the third brother, only works in their mine. He broke his leg in a landslide last year, and now he can only barely survive."
"His daughter was sold by his old man more than 20 years ago for just a bag of brown rice. Everyone in our town knows this."
Zhao Yunting asked, "Is the old man in their family still alive?" The boss replied, "The old man died of illness a few years ago. The old lady is still alive, but I heard that she seems to be dying now!"
Li Moer's heart skipped a beat as she listened to the boss continue, "In the past, his eldest daughter-in-law was very filial and took good care of the old lady. Now that the eldest son has money, he hooked up with a young widow. After they divorced, the old lady has become unattended."
Zhao Yunting asked again, "Then why don't her other two sons care about her?" The boss replied, "More than ten years ago, his old man dug up a tomb while searching for coal. There were quite a few burial objects inside. He sold some of them and hid the rest."
After a pause, the boss continued, "The old man suddenly fell ill and died without telling them where he hid the burial objects. His eldest son thought the old lady knew where the burial objects were buried, so he signed an agreement with the other two. The old lady will live with him for the rest of her life."
