And part of it was their family tree. This tree was said to be planted by Tang Zhinian’s grandfather a hundred years ago. The tree was tall and sturdy, with its trunk split at points that were big enough to serve as a bed, comfortable enough for a person to sleep in.
Tang Yuxin had secretly wrapped up all the important items at home in plastic and asked her uncle to store them in the tree. Apart from clothes, she also saved Chen Zhong’s cherished books. She brought back a few more whenever she had the chance. As for the other books, she kept them in mind. It was impossible to save all of them, only the ones that mattered most could be rescued.
One night, as Tang Yuxin was falling asleep, she vaguely heard the conversation between the two Tang brothers. Rubbing her eyes, she listened closely.
“Brother, why have you withdrawn all the money?”
Tang Zhijun looked at the sum of money and felt afraid. What if the money got lost? This was all their family fortune.
She had just breathed a sigh of relief, now she had to worry again.
She thought checks were fine. If lost, she might be able to get it replaced, which could be a bit troublesome. But the money deposited in the bank would not be washed away by floods. Even if the bank got bombed, their money would still exist.
But now that the check had turned into cash, it indeed became more substantial, but also more dangerous. If a flood came, they would have nothing. She began thinking about how to move the money up to the tree.
It also had to be well-wrapped. If it got soaked in the impending rain from the flood, it would be ruined as well.
When the two adults of the house were out, she sneaked into the kitchen. She carefully removed the firewood placed beneath the cutting board, being careful not to hurt herself. She stretched her little hand in and took out a pot.
Then she took out the things inside the pot.
Touching the object tightly wrapped in a plastic bag, she knew it was the money.
