As for Bai Yajing's reminder to be wary of the second wife, he took it to heart. The second wife wouldn't do something as heinous as reporting her own father, but that didn't mean the Xu mother and daughter wouldn't cause trouble...

Fortunately, he had already prepared a backup plan...

Bai Yajing is currently rummaging through Bai Lao Er's yard.

It was convenient for her since the family was away.

There were quite a few valuable things in Bai Lao Er's courtyard, but not much cash or banknotes. He probably took them all with him, since he would need money to live in the other courtyard.

She did find a box full of small yellow croakers, various jewelry, collectibles, and a transistor radio—that's a real gem!

It was released in the last year or two and replaced the original vacuum tube radio.

The sewing machines were almost new, so they were rarely used. Well, that woman didn't look like the type to be a good wife and mother; she was probably just pretending occasionally.

She accepted everything without hesitation, but as for the clothes and such, she still disdainfully tossed them onto the bed.

This time, I couldn't find any available spaces for the floors or walls.

But is this all they have? Something doesn't seem right!

Forget it, there's no use thinking about it too much now. We'll know when we go to the other courtyard.

She had everything planned out perfectly, but unfortunately, an uninvited guest arrived early on the third day.

Several Red Guards were banging on the gate incessantly early in the morning.

"Open the door! Open the door now! What are you dawdling for?"

"People from the Bai family, come out quickly!"

These past two days, since the second wife has also moved out, Old Master Bai was afraid something might happen, so he simply gave all the servants resettlement fees and dismissed them.

Now, only the three of them, surnamed Bai, live in this huge house.

Bai Yajing was practicing her martial arts when she heard the sound, so she stopped and went towards the front gate.

When she arrived, Old Master Bai and Fourth Brother Bai had already opened the door and invited her in.

A group of about ten teenagers, wearing red armbands, stormed in, looking around aggressively.

Bai Yajing frowned. People of this age are most easily brainwashed and driven by passion. It would be difficult to reason with them, let alone try to appease them with some benefits...

I'm afraid they'll be punished even more severely in the future.

Having experienced so much, Old Master Bai remained calm and even had the leisure to chat with them.

His humorous and witty manner softened the previously unpleasant expressions of the people.

The leading Red Guard handed a letter of complaint to Old Master Bai.

He casually waved to a few of his men to search the courtyard, leaving a few behind to assist him.

"Old Master Bai, take a look at what this letter says!"

Grandpa Bai wasn't intimidated by them at all. He smiled, took the book, read it quickly, and then handed it to Bai Lao Si and Bai Ya Jing.

His expression remained unchanged, completely composed. Neither Bai Lao Si nor Bai Ya Jing lost their composure after reading it; they both remained calm.

This made everyone look at them with new respect.

However, if it is really as written in the letter, then they will not be polite: "Old man, we are acting under orders. Someone reported that your family is exploiting and oppressing the working people. This is the behavior of capitalists. Moreover, your eldest son and youngest daughter have gone to Hong Kong. This is an act of escaping responsibility and betraying the country by taking national resources. It is a great reactionary act!"

"We're here to inform you that all your assets and properties must be returned to the state! Furthermore, you'll need to come with us!"
