Cao Qiu demanded her mother-in-law either give her the box or at least open it to see what was inside.
In truth, it wasn't just Cao Qiu who was curious; everyone in the room was.
The older generation had assumed the Sun Family had nothing of value. But then they remembered how Sun Jiaming's great-grandfather had managed to get grain from the city for everyone back then. What had he used to trade for it, or buy it? Grain was incredibly precious at that time. You couldn't get it without trading something good.
The younger ones were curious too, eager to know what kind of treasure the box held.
Gu'er felt a faint curiosity as well, but she had a feeling it wouldn't be anything valuable.
Grandma Sun scanned the room. When she saw Cao Qiu's feverish eyes, she gave a scornful smile.
She reached into her inner clothes again and pulled out a handkerchief. Unfolding it, she revealed a key.
'That must be the key to the box, right?'
