Chapter 1564 Mission Accomplished 2
Hearing this bad news, Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue were stunned.
Over the years, they had clearly seen how good Third Grandpa Lu had been to Xibao. Naturally, they felt very sad now.
Feng Qingxue wiped the corner of her eye. "Did Third Grandpa Lu leave any last words?"
"No words for you all. He passed very suddenly and peacefully, after having lunch and taking a nap. But a few days before his death, he called Xibao over. It seems he left something for him," Cheng Baoguo said, though he didn’t ask and didn’t know what it was. "The night Old Master Lu passed away, the old lady followed him soon after."
"To hold hands and grow old together" — perhaps that was the perfect description for them.
Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue acknowledged the situation, their expressions sorrowful. Since both of them worked outside and couldn’t get away, they wouldn’t be able to attend the funeral. Given the constraints of the times, the funeral likely wouldn’t be lavishly conducted, either.
After finishing the bad news, Cheng Baoguo turned to the good news. "Xibao’s luck is really something else."
Feng Qingxue asked, "What’s the good news this time? If it involves Xibao, we should keep it low-key." Xibao was so young. Letting him constantly be the center of attention could easily bring unintended consequences.
Cheng Baoguo chuckled. "He was playing with me at the old house, digging around casually as if to plant a tree. Guess what happened?"
"Did he find treasure?" Wang Cuilan asked.
Cheng Baoguo nodded. "He did. He found several treasures, possibly buried by the original owner of the old house. We couldn’t trace it back, and we couldn’t just keep it to ourselves. But we were also afraid that handing it over to the state would cause the families living in the compound to dig up the place like crazy. So we discussed it and reburied the treasures a bit deeper. We’ll just leave it to fate from now on."
