Son in China throws away father’s quilts that contained S$28,0000
A man in Wuhu City, Anhui Province, China was cleaning his elderly father’s home when he decided to discard two old quilts.
He didn’t think much of the dirty blankets, until a neighbour found them in the rubbish bin and discovered a large amount of cash.
As it turns out, the man’s father had hidden his savings for many years amounting to RMB 150,000 (S$27,908) inside the quilts.
The news went viral on Chinese social media platform Douyin in January.
According to local reports, the neighbour subsequently handed the cash to the police, who then informed the elderly Mr Sun.

Mr Sun, who was in hospital at the time, was so shocked by the news that he immediately sat up from his bed.
