Hearing Aunt Xu say that there was no gold or jewelry, Xu Lei's face suddenly darkened, and he stared at the two elders like he was spitting out a venomous message.

"No? I don't believe it! What kind of food can you exchange for so much gold and jewelry? You asked me for money, didn't I send it to you? What gold and jewelry would you use if you have money to buy it?"

Aunt Xu said sadly: "With that little money, how many kilograms of grain could you buy at that time? Do you know how many people starved to death? When it was more expensive, coarse grains cost several yuan a kilogram, and fine grains and eggs cost six or seven yuan a kilogram. There are plenty of them, and even if you have money, you may not be able to buy them. If we hadn’t risked going to the black market to exchange gold and jewelry for food, how many people do you think we would have survived? Where do you think you have received these grains? You can't get life-saving food in exchange for gold and jewelry, so you die. Now that the times have improved, you have the ability. Seeing that we have been vindicated, you come to ask for gold and jewelry. Where is your humanity? "

Unsentimental and greedy by nature, his elegant and handsome face when he was young is now like a dried orange peel, full of gloom. Is this really the much-respected eldest son of their Xu family?

Aunt Xu's heart was really cold.

I think back then, my first thought when I got the food was to send it to them. What about him? If I were not thinking about the gold and jewelry at home, would I never come back to visit them in my life?

Xu Lei was furious, "What do I need humanity for when I don't have money? People with humanity, can people with humanity survive? I say a thousand words, but you just don't want to give it, right?"

"How did you become like this?" Uncle Xu staggered, holding on to a magnolia tree that had not been removed.

If I had known that this day would come, it would be better not to have this son.

The Xu family has a scholarly family background and a very strict upbringing. His ancestors have expelled unworthy descendants from the family, but he did not expect that he would also face a situation where his son's temperament changed drastically.

Xu Lei said with a ferocious smile: "It is you who have changed, not me. Everything in the Xu family should have been inherited by me, the eldest son. Now that you are pushing the envelope, you must want to give it to Xu Sen, Xu Xin and the others!"

"Whatever you say, the gold and jewelry have long been replaced by food, and all the family has is this old house they just acquired." Uncle Xu waved his hand, looking frustrated.

"If you don't give it to me, I'll find it myself!"

After Xu Lei finished speaking, he went straight to the place where the gold was hidden in the old house. Seeing this, Xu Jingying glared at the second elder, cursed the old man, and turned to follow her father.

Uncle Xu and Aunt Xu, a couple over seventy years old, smiled bitterly at each other.

After their children left, more and more people got into trouble. They moved most of the gold and jewelry out. There were indeed some things in the old house that they had not had time to deal with. They had not had the chance to come to the old house in these years, but yesterday they were I dug it out and kept it separately.

The second old man was very smart. After taking out the things, he even smoothed out all the traces.

Xu Lei went to several places but couldn't find what he wanted. Instead, he dug up holes in the ground, even digging three feet into the ground where he remembered the gold and jewelry were hidden.

"No? How come there isn't? Did you hide it?" Xu Lei threw away the iron barb he snatched from Uncle Xu's hand and grabbed his collar.

Uncle Xu reached out and slapped his hand away, "Let go!"

The old man has been working in the Wanglou Brigade for many years and is well fed and clothed. Even though he is old, he is still stronger than the skinny Xu Lei.
