The man's name is Mu Qi, his family lives in Yueyang, Hunan, three years ago, Mu Qi was going to build a new house, so he demolished the old house he bought, and planned to build a two-story small western-style building on the original site.
While digging the foundation, he accidentally dug up a clay pot filled with a pot full of gold.
Mu Qi was overjoyed, quietly hid the clay pot, and only took out the gold inside after making sure that no one had found it, and after weighing, Mu Qi found that there were 4,578 grams of gold in the jar, which was worth nearly two million according to the gold price at that time.
Three years ago, Mu Qi's wife Wang Fangfang suddenly found him and told him about building a house, Wang Fang said: "Husband, you see that my brother is about to get married, and the family wants to vacate a wedding house for him, and we have saved some money in our hands in the past two years, do you think we should go to the town to buy an existing house or build it ourselves?"
Mu Qi is a door-to-door son-in-law, to be precise, it should be half a door-to-door son-in-law.
Mu Qi had no father or mother, grew up in an orphanage, and lived in his father-in-law's house temporarily after marrying his wife Wang Fangfang.
Although it is not stated that he is the son-in-law of the door, Mu Qi has no father and mother and no home of his own, so there is nothing controversial to say that he is the son-in-law of the door.
His wife Wang Fangfang has a younger brother, and his son-in-law is not so important, and now that his brother-in-law is getting married, it is a little out of place for him to continue to live in his father-in-law's house.
After hearing this, Mu Qi said: "With my original intention, I don't want to buy an existing house, it is really crowded to live in more than 100 square meters, and my idea is to build a small three-story building alone, so that the upstairs and downstairs are our family."
"But you also know that I don't have a household registration in your village, and I haven't settled down yet, so even if I want to build a house, I can't buy a homestead! This old house has to be given to your brother, and we can only go to the town to buy an existing house."
When Wang Fangfang heard this, she was silent for a moment and said: "Husband, do you really want to build a house by yourself? If you build it yourself, not to mention the homestead, even the budget in our hands is not enough!"
When Mu Qi heard this, he said: "If the budget is not enough, we will build it slowly! Build a framework first, decorate these and wait until we have the money to get it slowly, we don't have a homestead now, we can't build it if we want to, so we can only buy an existing house."
Wang Fangfang also hesitated a little after hearing this, she thought about it and said: "My heart is now a single hukou, or you go and move your hukou to me, we are now husband and wife, I am the head of the household, you should be able to move over, so that we can buy a homestead in this village."
When Mu Qi heard this, he asked: "Even if we move here, where is the homestead so easy to sell? How can someone else sell it to us if they only have one piece? Don't think about it! I will go to the town in two days and ask about the existing house."
Mu Qi didn't take this matter to heart, it was a bit unrealistic for him, what he didn't expect was that Wang Fangfang actually kept his mind in mind, Mu Qi didn't like to buy an existing house, she didn't force it, but asked who was willing to sell the ready-made homestead, how to build a house.
……。
Two weeks later, Wang Fangfang found Mu Qi again, and she said happily: "Husband, the incident I told you some time ago has been settled."
Mu Qi looked dazed and asked, "What's the matter?"
Wang Fangfang said: "It's about building a house!"
"Many homesteads in the village are not sold, and people who are not from the village have no way to trade, and those who have sons at home have to keep them to build new houses in the future."
Hearing this, Mu Qi asked, "Isn't that a good thing?"
Wang Fangfang smiled: "I haven't finished my words yet!"
"Although many people don't sell, I still inquired about a family that wants to sell, which is also what our father asked, and Uncle Zhao in the east of our village is willing to sell."
"Uncle Zhao?
Mu Qi thought for a moment and asked.
Uncle Zhao knew that it was about a kilometer away from their house, Wang Fangfang's residents in their village were scattered, and the distance between neighbors in the village was also relatively far, although he had been here for a few years, but he was not completely familiar with the people in the village.
However, this Uncle Zhao is an exception.
He is a lonely old man, his wife left early, and his daughter passed away a few years ago.
Wang Fangfang nodded and said: "It's him, he has a homestead of his own, that is, his old house, the house is about to collapse, after he heard that we were going to buy a homestead to build a house, he found our father!
Mu Qi nodded, and continued to ask, "Then what does he want? How much is he willing to sell? It should be okay to buy it in your name or your father's name."
Wang Fangfang said: "He doesn't want money."
"How is it possible to not want money?"
Mu Qi was shocked, Uncle Zhao's old house also knew that although it was deserted, it was not so bad that he didn't need money!
Wang Fangfang nodded and said: "The request he made to our father is that if we sell his land, then after he dies, we have to handle the funeral for him."
As soon as Mu Qi heard this, he instantly understood.
Uncle Zhao is almost eighty years old.
He has no children and no daughters now, and he is getting older and older, so he naturally attaches great importance to his future.
After he died, his things were useless, so it was better to exchange them for something valuable while he could still move.
Even if it's a promise.
Mu Qi asked, "Wife, what do you think?"
Wang Fangfang smiled when she heard this: "I'm also here to discuss with you!" Our dad didn't dare to decide when he heard him say this, after all, he promised him, but he would take care of the aftermath in the future, and it would cost tens of thousands of yuan to deal with the aftermath, and we had to handle the matter."
"So, this matter has to be decided by you, if you think it's okay, I'll ask our dad to reply, if not, we'll go and inquire about ......."
Mu Qi thought for a while and said: "Uncle Zhao's old house is in a good location, close to the highway, and the view is also very good, if we build a house, it must be very good, if we spend money directly to buy it, it will cost 100,000 yuan, since Uncle Zhao doesn't want money, this also saves us a fortune, we can use this money on our house."
"As for taking care of the aftermath, that's the later thing, even if you spend some money, it's okay, Uncle Zhao has no children and no daughters, if we take care of the aftermath for him, it can be regarded as a good thing for him."
"From that point of view, we don't lose anything, and I think we can agree."
Wang Fangfang nodded and said: "I think so too, Uncle Zhao doesn't want money, we also save it, as for his future, this is the future, he has no children and no daughters, we took his things, and it is also appropriate to help him take care of the aftermath."
……。
After Mu Qi and his wife reached an agreement, they told Uncle Zhao about it, and under the witness of the village chief Yang Shengke, the two sides signed an agreement.
Although it can be promised verbally, Mu Qi still signed an agreement with Uncle Zhao in order to reassure him, and the content of the agreement is that Uncle Zhao also has his own old house in exchange for the aftermath of the matter, after Uncle Zhao passed away, Mu Qi and his wife need to be fully responsible for Uncle Zhao's funeral affairs, including the cemetery.
Both parties agree to enter into the agreement.
After the agreement was signed, Muqi rented an excavator and began to clean up the ruins of the old house, and after cleaning the inside, he was ready to start digging the foundation.
Uncle Zhao doesn't know how long this old house has been abandoned, his house has long been unoccupied, Uncle Zhao now lives in the village's affordable housing, with a monthly pension and subsistence allowance, and he doesn't have to worry about eating and drinking when he lives alone.
On this day, Mu Qi came to the old mansion early, the house has been almost demolished, yesterday has been dug for a day, and today another day of digging is almost enough.
Muki walked around the pit, looking at the drawings in his hand from time to time, thinking about how to dig them.
At this moment, Mu Qi suddenly stumbled and fell directly into the mud pit.
He got up and rubbed his knees, the pain made him break out in a cold sweat, and it took a long time to stand up.
Muki looked around, trying to find the culprit who tripped him up.
"Huh......".
Mu Qi sighed lightly, took three steps and two steps to the dirt pit next to it, and after pulling it with his hands, he revealed a clay pot, which he had just tripped upon.
"What is this? Is it a bone"?
Mu Qi found that this clay pot was very similar to the bone jar in the TV series, so he became suspicious, but he immediately wanted to discard this idea, how is this possible, how can there be a bone jar sold under the house?
Mu Qi looked at it for a few minutes, and he couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart.
He found a hoe and slowly dug out the pot.
After wiping the dirt off the jar, Murch smashed the gray seal from the mouth of the jar and carefully lifted the lid of the jar.
When he saw the contents clearly, he quickly sealed the lid of the jar and turned his head to look around to see if he had found anything.
After discovering that there was no one around, Murch breathed a sigh of relief, found a cement bag, put it on, and carefully hid it in his car.
In that jar was a jar full of gold lumps, and if he was not mistaken, it was a jar of gold.
Muchi's heart was pounding, and considering that there would soon be workers to do the work, he did not leave immediately, and after hiding the jar, he picked up the hoe and continued digging.
But after digging for a long time, Murch didn't dig up a second jar.
When he saw that someone was coming, he stopped.
"Brother Mu, what are you digging down there?"
At this moment, the master of the excavator came.
Mu Qi smiled when he heard this: "I just saw a wild yam here, so I dug it up, and I knew that it was cut off."
With that, he pointed to a piece of yam next to him.
This old house has been abandoned for a long time, and there are many plants growing in it, and on the side near the vegetable field, there are indeed a few wild yam vines.
When the excavator master saw it, he was immediately overjoyed and said: "Why didn't you see such a good thing yesterday, Brother Mu, come up, I'll drive the excavator over, go down with a bucket, and dig it out directly."
The excavator master said that he drove the excavator directly, and after a few buckets, the wild yam inside was dug out.
In order to prevent the excavator master from discovering the abnormality, Mu Qi could only cooperate with the acting, and most of the wild yams dug up were given to the excavator master by him, which made him very happy.
For the rest of the day, Murch stayed by his side.
With his previous experience, he was worried that the excavator master would dig something good, so he kept guarding.
To his disappointment, although a lot of earth was dug out and the foundation was almost dug up, he didn't see any treasures.
When the excavator master and other workers came home from work, he left in a hurry, and when he returned home, Mu Qi quietly carried the jar into the house, and after dinner, he called Wang Fangfang into the bedroom, intending to tell her what was in the jar.
Wang Fangfang didn't know why, and said blankly: "What's wrong with you today? So sneaky? I still have to put on a mask!"
Mu Qi whispered: "Shhh, you be quiet, I have something to tell you when you enter the house."
Wang Fangfang was pulled into the house by Mu Qi, and her little face was flushed.
She said, "Don't be serious, I'm not going to be able to do it tonight."
Mu Qi was stunned when he heard this, knowing that he had been misunderstood by Wang Fangfang, so he said with a smile: "What do you want! I asked you to come in to let you see a good thing, something that is enough to change the current conditions of our family."
When Wang Fangfang heard this, she looked embarrassed and asked, "What is so mysterious?"
Hearing this, Mu Qi smiled, and took out an earthen pot from under the bed.
Seeing this, Wang Fangfang looked disgusted and said, "Why are you putting this thing under the bed?
When Mu Qi heard this, he smiled and said, "Really, you can take a look at the things in here first."
With that, Murch opened the lid.
When the gold inside appeared in front of Wang Fangfang's eyes, her eyes couldn't move.
After looking at it for a long time, she asked, "Husband, is this gold? Where did you get it? It can't be fake?"
Mu Qi said proudly: "You can take out a piece and bite it, the origin of this thing is still a little fun!"
Mu Qi took out a piece of gold lump and handed it to Wang Fangfang, asking her to be sure that the thing was real or fake, and then briefly explained the process of how she got the jar.
When Wang Fangfang listened to Mu Qi's explanation, she was also stunned.
"You mean, this jar was dug out from under Uncle Zhao's old house"?
Mu Qi nodded and said: "That's right, it was dug up from the ground of Uncle Zhao's old house, I think this jar is not short, it is estimated that it was buried by Uncle Zhao's ancestors, and the children and grandchildren behind do not know that there is such a thing."
"Quickly get the electronic scales at home, and let's see how much the gold weighs."
Wang Fangfang did not delay, and hurriedly found the electronic scale that she usually weighed, and the two of them took out all the golden lumps in the clay pot and put them on the electronic scale one by one.
"4578 grams? Why are there so many?"
Wang Fangfang covered her mouth, looking incredulous.
Mu Qi also gasped, at the current price of gold, these gold bumps were worth at least two million or more.
He looked at Wang Fangfang and said, "Wife, we sent it, these gold are worth two million, two million!"
Although Wang Fangfang was excited, she quickly calmed down, she looked at Mu Qi and said: "Husband, I think there is still something wrong, this gold was dug out from under the old mansion of Uncle Zhao's family, it is estimated that it was left to the descendants by his ancestors, will it be a little bad for us to take it away like this?"
When Mu Qi heard this, he also hesitated a little, and said: "This matter is indeed a bit troublesome, it stands to reason that these gold should all belong to Uncle Zhao, but now that he has sold the land to us, who should this belong to the things dug up inside?"
He was also a little distressed, and this matter was really difficult to deal with.
Of course, if you pretend not to know and don't tell it, no one will know about it.
Thinking of this, Mu Qi had no choice but to say: "Let's think about this matter first, see how to deal with it, tomorrow I will go to the city to see how much gold is contained, if it can be sold, the money we can build a house will be completely enough."
That night, the couple couldn't sleep, looking at the pile of golden bumps, and said that it was fake.
Early the next morning, Murch took one of the pieces, and he planned to go to the gold shop to test the content, and see that it was not enough.
……。
In the afternoon, Mu Qi hurried back to tell his wife about his test results, but when he returned home, Wang Fangfang was not at home.
Calling her, Mu Qi learned that Wang Fangfang actually carried the jar to Uncle Zhao's house, and now it is at Uncle Zhao's house.
Mu Qi's face changed, he sighed in his heart, and came to Uncle Zhao without saying a word.
He also didn't expect that Wang Fangfang would return the jar.
He was already desperate in his heart, Uncle Zhao got something, and he might not even be able to drink the soup.
What he didn't expect was that when he hurried to Uncle Zhao's house, before he could speak, Uncle Zhao handed the jar to his eyes.
Uncle Zhao said: "Child, don't blame Fangfang, whoever gets this thing will want to keep it for themselves, Fangfang brought it over, and she was also uneasy, and I didn't know until now that my ancestors left us so much money."
"If I had found it earlier, my wife wouldn't have died so early, my daughter ......."
"Hey, it's too late to say anything, I don't have to worry about food or clothing now, I don't need this money, since you two have promised to take care of my funeral, this gold will be left to you! I just hope that after I die, you can fulfill the promise you promised me."
Mu Qi looked at Uncle Zhao in a daze, his face full of shame.
He really lives the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.
He didn't expect that after Uncle Zhao learned about this, he would take the initiative to give up and give them all the gold.
Mu Qi didn't answer, but knelt down directly and said: "Uncle Zhao, I Mu Qi has no father or mother since I was a child, and the surname Mu was also given to me casually by the orphanage, since your old man has said so, my Mu Qi is stingy in my mother-in-law."
"From today on, it is Mu Qi who changes his surname to Zhao and recognizes you as his godfather, as long as I Zhao Qi is here, I will never let you be wronged, I will handle your funeral for you, and my children will go to your grave every year in the future."
When Uncle Zhao heard this, he nodded with satisfaction, he didn't see the wrong person.
If Mu Qi didn't have this heart, he really wouldn't do it, Wang Fangfang was also very relieved to see her husband like this, she was not a greedy person, even if she knew that the gold was worth a lot of money, she didn't mean to keep it for herself.
With this money, Muqi was much more comfortable to build the house, and at first he thought that he could only build a frame, but after getting the money, he even did the renovation at the same time.
After the house was built, Mu Qi specially took Uncle Zhao into the new house to provide for the elderly, according to Mu Qi's original intention, he not only had to send Uncle Zhao to the end, but also to provide for his old age, otherwise he would be sorry for Uncle Zhao's generosity to him.
When the new house was under construction, he reserved a room for Uncle Zhao early, because of this incident, Uncle Zhao had something to rely on in his later years, and he had a very good life in the past three years, and people were much more energetic.
One is grateful, one is kind, when they meet together, it is fate.
The fact that the Muchi couple were able to have this opportunity was inseparable from their kindness.
