All around the world, people find alternates to perform their everyday tasks. Generally, people make non-conventional and frugal innovations for their work. However, things turn upside down when they do not know the actual use of these innovations. Recently, one such incident has been making rounds on social media, where a Chinese woman had been using an object as a hammer for years.
However, she was shocked when she learned about the actual use of the hammer. It has been found that the woman has been using it for the past 20 years and has worn it out due to hammering nails, cracking walnuts, and other household chores.
According to reports, a recent report found that a 90-year-old woman named Qin from Xiangyang, Hubei province of central China, was left shocked when she found that the hammer that she had been using for the past 20 years to do household chores was an unexploded hand grenade. She had been living in ignorance about the actual use of the object. It was reported that the woman thought that the object was an unusual ‘metal lump’ that she had found while working on her farm and took it home. Assuming it to be a hammer, Qin started using it to do various household tasks.
Recently, when people began reconstructing her house, they found that the hammer was a grenade. They revealed this information to the woman, as she had been putting her life in danger for the past 20 years. After that, a bomb disposal unit arrived at the scene, and the grenade was taken away and disposed of.
The police authorities have revealed that the old woman had been using it to grind spices, break dry fruits, and hammer nails. The investigation revealed that it was a Chinese-type 67-hand grenade that had been used during wars. The police have also asked everyone to report any other suspicious objects to them and have also urged them not to use them. The grandmother has been extremely lucky, as the bomb has not exploded in these years.
