Chapter 10 Deposits

It's been almost a month since my grandmother passed away. According to the date, today should be August 3rd.

If you calculate it this way, the timing seems to be correct.

Yunxi felt that the time since she became a peach tree spirit shouldn't be too long. After all, when she underwent her tribulation, the country had probably just been founded. There was a saying that after the founding of the country, animals and plants could not become spirits, which was why she couldn't overcome the lightning tribulation.

Seeing the time in her own timeline seemed to be of little use to Yunxi, the fairy, since she had no idea what would happen in the future.

So all they can do is live a quiet and law-abiding life.

I've saved this calendar to my personal space, and I've decided to look at it from time to time. After all, it's nice to be able to see what day it is every day.

It should be said that Yunxi had just transformed from a fairy into a human, and was extremely curious about everything, wanting to rummage through everything in her natal space, regardless of whether it was useful or not.

Finally, they found a large box inside, which contained a smaller box that looked like an old-fashioned dowry dressing box. The patterns on it were quite beautiful, and it was clearly an antique.

Looking at the small box, Yunxi took it out and found the key that the little girl remembered her grandmother telling her to hide.

When Grandma was very ill, she gave the key to the little girl without saying anything, just telling her to keep the key safe and lock the door to the house, and not to come in unless necessary.

Yunxi was extremely curious about everything, so she took out the key and prepared to open the lock.

After unlocking the door, the top cover opened directly, revealing a blurry mirror inside. It was so old that even seeing people was difficult.

There was a very clear mirror in the little girl's room, so it was obvious at a glance that the mirror on the dressing box was something from a long time ago.

On the top shelf of the box were two bracelets, clearly a pair, each wrapped separately in a red handkerchief.

Although Yunxi couldn't tell the quality of the two jade bracelets, she could sense an aura emanating from them, and just holding them in her hand felt very comfortable.

It's easy to imagine how good this thing is; if you wear it on your wrist often, it really does have health benefits.

Remove the top layer; there are two more layers below, with two sheets of cardboard in the middle.

After thinking for a moment, Yunxi remembered that it seemed to be something like a bankbook. Her eyes lit up instantly. For a stingy and money-grubbing peach tree spirit, this was the most interesting thing for a fairy.

She quickly opened it to look at the numbers inside. There was a book filled with rows and rows of densely packed numbers. It seemed that every month her father would send money back, and her grandmother would go to town to deposit all the money into this book.

I've been saving for several years now, and the numbers below are quite substantial. I've saved around five or six hundred every year, and sometimes even seven or eight hundred.

It was deposited over a total of five years, but there was a one-time deposit of 3,000 yuan.

Yunxi guessed that before there were banks, all the money sent back was kept at home, and later, when banks were opened, her grandmother deposited it all into the bank at once.

The total came to 7280 yuan, which is quite a lot of money in this day and age.

When Yunxi learned that a penny could buy a pound of grain outside, this amount of money was a huge sum of money.

Suddenly, there was a mountain of grain in front of me, and I felt that I would never have to worry about going hungry again.

I put this passbook down and looked at another one. This one had a deposit of 3,500 yuan.

Judging from the date, it was only a few months ago, so it must have been the compensation money given by the little girl's father after he died in the army.

I wonder how high a rank her father was in the army, that he could receive so much compensation!

Is there something hidden behind her father's sacrifice?

Otherwise, why would they give so much?

After all, in the little girl's memory, there were other soldiers in the village, but some of them had sacrificed their lives, some were still in the army, or some had retired.

However, the compensation for those who sacrificed their lives was definitely not that much; even 2,000 yuan was considered a high-ranking position.

But military matters are a world away from me right now, and even if I wanted to find out the details, I wouldn't have the ability.

Moreover, when the incense was lit, the smoke rose straight up, which shows that they were not wronged; otherwise, things would not have turned out the way they did.

Yunxi was never one to create her own troubles; she would simply stop thinking about things she couldn't understand.

In an instant, she forgot all about what had just happened.

Next to the two passbooks was a stack of paper bills. He soon realized that this was the currency used in this era. No matter what you did outside, you needed money; you couldn't do anything without it.

He took out the entire stack of bills and set them aside, intending to check the bottom layer first before carefully counting how much money was in that stack of bills.

Lifting up the shelf containing the passbooks revealed the bottom shelf, and what was there was something that Yunxi hadn't expected.

After thinking about it for a moment and realizing that it was gold, I instantly lost interest.

When she was a tree, her roots grew exceptionally far. She encountered such things when she was under the tree, and at that time she thought that the gold was blocking the way for the roots to grow.

Because she was like a peach tree, she couldn't fully extend her roots, so she directly stored those things into her natal space, which now contains plenty of them.

However, now that she knows how valuable the gold is, she has a feeling that she is actually quite wealthy.

Although she didn't know who buried the gold beneath the tree when she was a tree, she knew that once it entered her space, it was hers.

He glanced furtively at the pile of gold in his natal space, then looked at the ten small gold bars in the box, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

Apart from the small amount of money, she put everything else back in the dressing box and then stored it directly into her personal space.

He took out the money and started counting it. It was all small denominations, probably only a hundred or so yuan in total.

At this moment, Yunxi suddenly remembered her grandmother saying not to open the door, which she found very strange. If the door wasn't opened, the little girl wouldn't have a single penny. How would she live?

After carefully recalling my memories, I realized that it was indeed true; my grandmother hadn't given her a single penny, and I don't know what she was thinking.

Is the intention to make the little girl extremely poor?

Does that mean no one will try to take advantage of her?
