Chapter 46 A small piece of paper worth tens of millions!
"found it!"

"The first issue of Harvest magazine in July 1957!"

After being allowed by Grandma Cui,
Zhang Li located himself according to the small map and soon found a magazine among the pile of books.

I looked at the magazine cover.
Zhang Li returned to the sofa, took a deep breath, and slowly opened the magazine.

then,

I just turned four pages.

His breathing suddenly stopped...

Stamps appeared!
The Qing Dynasty Postal "Red Flower Seal" stamp, worth two cents!
Released in 1897!
Looking at the red-textured stamps that were carefully wrapped and sandwiched between magazines, Zhang Li had never expected that this time the treasure hunt would be so smooth.

originally,

He also thought that

The magazine may be in a household's bookcase.

He never expected that it was in the pile of discarded books that Grandma Cui didn't want.

and,

He just happened to know the owner of the magazine, Grandma Cui, yesterday!
And it's obvious,
Grandma Cui doesn’t know about this stamp!

“I like reading!”

"It's good to read a book!"

"Granny gave you the magazine!"

Grandma Cui held an enamel cup and placed it in front of Zhang Li, smiling as she looked at the magazine in Zhang Li's hand.

"I looked around the house and there's no tea. Can you drink some water..."

Put the enamel cup in front of Zhang Ting,
Grandma Cui felt a little embarrassed.

"Grandma Cui, um... Is Grandpa Cui okay?"

Close the magazine.

Seeing the photo under the enamel cup, Zhang Li couldn't help but ask.

Grandma Cui’s coffee table is an old-fashioned one with thick glass on top.

There is a family photo under the glass.

In the middle of the photo are Grandma Cui and an old grandfather.

Behind the two of them,

There were several men and women standing there...

“Not anymore…”

Hearing Zhang Li's question, Grandma Cui waved her hand as if nothing had happened.

"Ah, I'm sorry!"

Zhang Li didn't expect that Grandpa Cui had passed away, so he apologized.

"It's okay, it's all over!"

Grandma Cui smiled generously.

"So these brothers and sisters, are they your sons and daughters?"

After taking a look at Grandma Cui and finding nothing unusual, Zhang Li pointed at the other people in the photo and asked.

now,

Now that he had obtained the "Red Flower Seal" stamps, he could leave immediately.

But, this is not his style!

If it was ownerless, he could just take it.

But Grandma Cui kindly took him home.
I even gave him the magazine in a friendly way.

he thinks,
It’s not good to take it away directly like this!

"No, only one is my daughter, the other two are my daughters-in-law!"

"All three boys are my sons!"

Grandma Cui continued to answer Zhang Li's questions.

"So do they all live nearby?"

Zhang Li asked again.

Even if I have to leave stamps to the elderly,

He also worried that unfilial children would cause conflicts and bring trouble to the elderly.

He needs to ask clearly and deal with it!

Since the old man is picking up trash, it proves that his children are most likely unfilial.

“They are all gone!”

Grandma Cui answered calmly.

"what??"

After hearing what Grandma Cui said,
Zhang Ting's mouth suddenly opened.

"They're all dead, all dead!"

Seeing the tension stagnate,

Grandma Cui explained again.

"The boss was hit by a car!"

“The second mountain fire is gone!

"The third brother passed away from brain cancer!"

"The eldest and second daughters-in-law were crushed to death by the house..."

Seeing Zhang Li's dazed face, Grandma Cui continued speaking without hesitation.

"you?"

After Grandma Cui finished speaking, Zhang Li opened his mouth, not knowing whether to raise his arms or put them down.

“Look ahead!”

"It's okay, look forward!"

Seeing Zhang Li’s discomfort, Grandma Cui tried to comfort him instead.

"Whoo~"

I also want to ask about Grandma Cui's children.

Zhang Li didn't expect that
All of Grandma Cui’s family members are gone.

Looking at the old man's snow-white hair and wrinkled face, he took a deep breath.

"So you live alone now?"

After a moment of silence, Zhang Li asked again. Stamps,

It's even more impossible for him to take it away!
"And a granddaughter and a cat..."

Grandma Cui nodded in response.

"Is my granddaughter on winter break? Is she doing her homework?"

Seeing Grandma Cui answering and pointing to another room, Zhang Li quickly asked.

It’s nice to have a granddaughter!

This way the elderly won’t be alone.

"I don't go to school. I'm 13 years old. I have a brain disease and I'm paralyzed!"

Just when he felt a little better, Zhang Li heard Grandma Cui's calm voice again.

then,

As he stood up in shock, Grandma Cui took him into a small room with a curtain next to it.

Wow~
As soon as I entered the room, my scalp was tingling.
I smelled a strong aroma of Chinese medicine.

He saw it,

A skinny little girl was lying weakly on a small bed in the corner.

Next to it,

There was a gray cat with white whiskers.

Grandma Cui said her granddaughter is 13 years old, but Zhang Li looked at her frail body and thought she was not even as old as 8-year-old Linlin...

"It's okay, they're all here!"

“Look ahead!”

"There is a minimum living allowance! The state also reimburses part of the cost for chronic diseases!"

"I'm fine and can move!"

"In addition, the landlord is considerate of us and allows us to live in the house for free..."

Looking at the tension that was standing there in a daze,
Grandma Cui patted Zhang Li on the back and praised him for being a good boy.

The old man has a hunched body.

But the tenacity of the spirit is taller than the mountains!
"Can this disease be cured?"

Silently returning to the patched sofa, Zhang Li slowly sat down.

Qing Dynasty Postal "Red Flower Seal" stamps,
The auction price in 2006 was over two million.

now,

The 2021 Chinese New Year is coming soon.
He felt that a value of tens of millions was definitely possible.

The little girl's illness is probably a genetic brain disease.

Zhang Li just happened to be in this situation. He thought there was no cure for his father's brain cancer, but it turned out that targeted drugs were available.

"do not know!"

"I asked a lot of doctors, and they all said there was no hope!"

"Now, in addition to the medicine prescribed by the health center, I just take some Chinese medicine to maintain my health!"

Grandma Cui explained to Zhang Li calmly.

Her tears,

It had dried up long ago when my son, daughter, daughter-in-law and son-in-law died!
prior to,

People in my hometown village,
They say she has a tough life.
She is unlucky in husband and children, and in everything!
So she took her granddaughter and moved to an urban village in the provincial capital.

now,

Her only goal is to let her granddaughter live longer and see more of the world during her lifetime.

As for her death,
That only...

It was rare that Zhang Li was willing to come to her house, and she really wanted to talk to him.

The old woman was willing even if it was her sad story.

yesterday,

It’s the time when Grandma Cui goes out to eat once a month.

For her, going to a small noodle shop and eating a bowl of noodles for ten yuan is a rare opportunity to eat out.

Also because of this,

After eating the noodles, she poured a few more bowls of the store's noodle soup, wanting to drink more.

Unexpectedly, the noodle soup ended up spilling on Zhang Li’s clothes…

Nowadays,

The two met again, and Grandma Cui felt that it was fate.

Wow~
Hearing Grandma Cui's calm voice,

For some reason, Zhang Li's eyes turned red involuntarily.

Click!

Rubbing his eyes, he suddenly opened his mobile phone and took a photo of the "Red Flower Seal" stamp on the sofa.

then,

Directly to the person I met a few days ago,
Auctioneer Chen Xinling called.

"Hello, Miss Chen, I'm Zhang Li, I just sent you a MMS!"

"Help me see how much that red flower stamp is worth!"

"The faster the better! Thank you very much!"

The tension of red eyes,
I instantly wanted to sell the stamps I just got!
"Ok, no problem!"

Chen Xinling cooperated fully.

Zhang Li is not only her major client, but also her benefactor.

Snapped!
Hang up the phone with Chen Xinling,
Zhang Li quickly opened his phone again.

I found Meng Wanning’s WeChat and made a voice call.

"Can you come to Ganjiabao Village, House 153, as soon as possible?"

"There is a patient who needs your help!"

"This is very important to me!"

"I owe you a favor!"

Voice connected,
Before Meng Wanning could speak,
Zhang Li stated his request right away.

No matter what the little granddaughter's illness is,
He needs treatment!
"Okay, Brother Zhang, I'll be right there. I'm in the hospital!"

Hearing Zhang Li's serious tone, Meng Wanning didn't ask anything and just nodded in agreement.
