Chapter 147
Chapter 147
Cai Yun didn't expect Meng Haisheng to treat her like this. After all, she was a lesbian, but Meng Haisheng let her look around as she pleased, and he didn't even want to accompany her.
Seeing Meng Haisheng making the first floor dusty, Cai Yun gritted her teeth, pretended to look around the second floor, and had to say goodbye first.
She went back so soon, and Wu Daniu was anxious.
"Xiaoyun, why did you come back so soon? Didn't you communicate with Meng Haisheng about your feelings?"
"What communication? He just ignored me."
Cai Yun was so angry that she looked back at Meng Haisheng's dusty house, and she felt very unhappy.
Although her appearance was not the best, she was also a beautiful girl from a small family. Now there are many people who come to their house to propose marriage.
Why did Meng Haisheng not even look at her when he came to her?
Cai Yun didn't know that Meng Haisheng had both status and money in his previous life.
There are so many women who throw themselves at him. Pick any one of them, and they are all prettier than this rustic-dressed little girl.
She lingers in front of him, trying to attract his attention, but it is just a self-humiliation.
"We are not in a hurry. Meng Haisheng's family has already started to renovate. He must want to move in earlier. Let's hurry up here. When we become neighbors in the future, you will have plenty of opportunities."
"Mom, you just said that we should hurry up, but Tan Xiaochun left us 100 yuan, which is just enough to buy doors and windows. What should we do with the rest of the money?"
"Mom still has some here. Xiaoyun has worked hard to give you a good life. I have given you all the money for the coffin."
"Thank you, mom. When your daughter has money, I will definitely buy you a big gold bracelet."
The Cai family's calculations were clacking, but Meng Haisheng knew nothing about it.
After he removed the floor coverings, he directly poured a bucket of water on the ground, trying to wash away all the dust on the ground.
Logically speaking, when the cement was applied to the floor, an arc must be made to prevent rainwater from entering the house and not flowing out.
Generally, the arc is directed toward the threshold of the kitchen or bathroom, where a small drainage hole is left.
But when Meng Haisheng poured a bucket of water on the ground, the water flowed to the downstairs and did not go anywhere else.
At first, Meng Haisheng thought that the floor was not smooth at the beginning, so he went to the stairs to check carefully.
I saw a long and fine crack in the pile of debris under the stairs.
The crack was probably blocked by dust at ordinary times, and he did not find it when he lifted the floor leather just now.
Now a bucket of water was poured over, and the crack was washed out.
If it was just an ordinary crack, Meng Haisheng would not be surprised, after all, the house has been built for many years.
But this crack is not ordinary, and it is even a little strange, because the crack is too straight, as if it was carved with a knife.
There must be something wrong when things are abnormal, and Meng Haisheng really wants to pry it open to see.
However, the workers who were painting the walls were still there today, so Meng Haisheng was not in a hurry to start.
He first rode his bicycle to the furniture market in the county and ordered four new beds to be placed in other rooms to facilitate future visitors.
He also ordered new tables, chairs and benches.
Considering that Lin Mucheng might have to stay in the county for confinement, Meng Haisheng bought two sets of heating stoves and chimneys.
In order to make cooking easier, he also bought a set of gas stoves.
The floor coverings at home were all torn off, and Meng Haisheng wanted to buy a carpet to cover them.
After walking around the mall, he didn't find a suitable one.
In the end, he had no choice but to wait for him to pry the ground, then go back and apply cement, and then find a floor-laying master to come and lay wooden floors in the house.
Even if they waited until they moved in, it would still be in time.
Meng Haisheng was so busy that he didn't go home for lunch. He had a meal with the wall-painting masters at noon.
After all the walls were painted in the afternoon and the painters had left, Meng Haisheng closed the door, took out the chisel he had prepared, and pried along the gap.
At first, Meng Haisheng thought that the cement would be difficult to pry, so he put the chisel in place and hammered it with all his strength.
With one hammer, there was a bang, and a wooden lid about one meter wide was directly smashed away by Meng Haisheng.
Picking up the cement block under the wooden lid, Meng Haisheng took a look and found that it was four fingers thick. If it weren't for the fact that it was too old and the quality of the cement was not particularly good before, he was afraid that he would not be able to knock it open for a while.
Under the wooden lid was a dark basement with a ladder next to it, but it was so old that the ladder broke when touched.
Meng Haisheng didn't have a flashlight, so he lit a candle, tied it to a wire, and slowly put it into the basement.
The originally dark basement was illuminated by candlelight. The space below was not big, and there were some cowhide boxes scattered around.
The box looked quite big., but he didn't know what was inside.
Meng Haisheng was a man who had died once, so he was very brave.
He directly took the bamboo ladder from his home and put it down.
The bamboo ladder was a little big, and it was fortunate that Meng Haisheng was not fat, otherwise he really couldn't get down in such a small space.
It had been a long time since anyone had come down to the basement, and it was dirty everywhere.
He opened a box casually, and saw a flash of golden light in front of him, and it turned out to be a box full of small yellow croakers.
Meng Haisheng was stunned here for a long time and didn't come back to his senses.
Even though he was knowledgeable, he had never seen a box of small yellow croakers.
This visual shock made Meng Haisheng think he was dreaming.
Looking back at the other boxes in the basement, Meng Haisheng swallowed his saliva. They wouldn't be all small yellow croakers.
Then he was rich?
Meng Haisheng excitedly opened another box next to him.
It was not filled with small yellow croakers, but some porcelain.
In his previous life, Meng Haisheng was old, and he had auctioned antiques a few times when he had nothing to do. He only knew a little about antiques, calligraphy and paintings.
Looking at the beautiful porcelain in the box, he vaguely felt that these things were valuable.
The next few boxes were also similar antiques.
The last box was some ancient books.
The ancient books were tied up casually with cowhide ropes, and no one knew what was inside.
Meng Haisheng walked around the basement and vaguely saw some German letters. He thought these things should be left by people who lived here before.
Now that the house is his, the things are naturally his.
Meng Haisheng did not touch the valuable things, but moved the box of ancient books out bit by bit.
Then Meng Haisheng found thick wooden boards to seal the entrance to the basement.
When installing the windows today, he still had a little cement left here, and he carefully applied it all on the wooden boards, making sure that even if someone accidentally stood under the stairs, they would not find that their feet were empty.
By the time he finished all this, it was already dark.
He casually took a pile of ancient books and put them in his bag, then rode his bicycle home.
He couldn't tell anyone about this, but he had to tell Lin Mucheng.
