I glanced at them and pretended not to see.
I waited quietly at home for them to knock on the door.
Sure enough, in no time, a group of relatives rushed in.
They broke down my door aggressively, staring at me with eyes as if they wanted to devour me, bloodshot.
"Where is the gold left by the old lady? If you don't tell us... we'll kill you today!" Second uncle pointed at my face, almost grinding his teeth.
"I said to search the old lady's house again, unexpectedly found so many treasures, you are useless, can't even keep an almost dying old lady!"
Auntie, hands on her hips, sarcastically remarked.
Calling her an old lady at every turn, they were probably not filial when my grandmother was alive.
The scene of my mother dying, my grandmother being exploited by them, flashed before my eyes, blood boiling in my chest.
I wanted to strangle them all immediately.
But after calming down for a moment, I pretended to be puzzled and asked, "What gold are you talking about?"
"Hey, stop pretending, I saw it at the jewelry store, you took out that big gold bracelet to sell, is it yours? It belongs to all of us!"
Sister-in-law showed her wrist, proudly saying, as if that bracelet should be worn on her hand.
I could even tell that she excitedly did her makeup on the way here.
Cousin smirked, he had always been unskilled, and when we were younger he used to secretly hit me because he envied my dad working in the mine and buying me toys he couldn't get.
Now, he was ready to hit me again!
Several sisters were chattering, urging me to confess quickly.
"Everyone stop!" Uncle scolded sternly, his face slightly contorted as he approached me, his eyes gradually darkening.
Immediately, the room fell silent after his reprimand.
"You should know, with so many of us here today, we definitely won't leave empty-handed, if you don't bring it out, with so many of us, we won't let you leave alive!"
"You have no relatives or friends, just returned, disappeared and no one will know, right?"
"Tell me... where is the gold?"
Threatening my life, even strangers might not be so ruthless, ha... they are still family!
"Alright, I'll bring it out now!" Seeing that I was being cooperative, they eagerly anticipated a bright future, staring at me like hawks.
When I returned carrying a large wooden box from under the bed, they all gasped in surprise.
No one expected me to bring out such a big box.
"Inside? Is it all gold?"
"I told you, the old lady used to be the daughter of a landlord, there must be treasures!"
"We're going to be rich, we won't be able to spend all this gold in our lifetime!"
Greed, obsession, filth, all their ugly traits surfaced on their faces.
They thought it was wealth and prosperity, but little did they know, this was the death gold and life-saving money I was giving them!
A hint of killing intent flashed in my eyes, anger rising, but then sinking into the depths.
"Yes, these are all left to me by my grandmother. Since it has been discovered, I won't hide it anymore, you can split it up."
