Li Yao opened Li Jianguo and Wang Xiumei's luggage and found a handkerchief inside their clothes, containing several dozen yuan and a few grain and sugar coupons.

They also found an envelope in the lining of the suitcase, containing 1,000 yuan, several brown sugar coupons, and proof that Li Yao was eligible to receive martyr's subsidies.

This must have been sent by the railway bureau leaders. Li Yao put it away along with the handkerchief containing the money.

Continuing her search, Li Yao also found a gold necklace, a gold ring, and a jade key in Wang Xiumei's clothes.

These all belong to Xiao Liyao and Ms. Cui. The gold necklace and gold ring should have been placed on the dressing table, but Wang Xiumei hid them directly.

Li Yao took out the jade key and examined it. The key was strung on a thin silver chain and was exquisitely carved. Like a regular key, it had serrations. There was also a special mark on the key, which looked like a totem, resembling a dragon but not quite.

Li Yao looked at it for a long time but still couldn't figure it out. But if there's a key, there must be a lock. And since the Cui family uses keys to identify people, it must be able to open some kind of lock.

She wasn't in a hurry; she would wait for a chance to go and look for it later.

Li Yao put away the necklace, ring, and jade key. After searching for a while, she found more than 60 yuan, along with their certificates and household registration documents, in Li Jianguo's pants.

These days, you need proof to go anywhere, otherwise you'll be mistaken for a vagrant.

Li Yao took a look and saw that the certificate was issued by Qingshan Village. The certificate stated that Li Jianguo's family were from Qingshan Village and had come to Beijing to attend a funeral and visit relatives.

Li Yao put away the money and household registration documents, and didn't find anything else.

Logically speaking, Li Jianguo's family was not poor. Little Li Yao's grandparents were martyrs who led the villagers in fighting the Japanese invaders during the war.

He died in 1957 and was later awarded honors by the local county government. Seeing the hardships Li Jianshe and Li Jianguo faced, they were granted martyr status.

That's why Li Jianshe was able to raise Li Jianguo, help him go to university, become a railway policeman, and meet Cui Molan, a medical student in Kyoto. They got married and had children.

Li Jianguo married the village chief's daughter in Qingshan Village, built three large brick houses for his family, and was also the village accountant. There was absolutely no way he only had this much money.

Li Yao stroked her chin and thought for a moment. It was very likely that these two had left most of their money in their hometown, just to come here and eat and drink at Li Yao's expense.

Li Yao stood up and packed away the cabinets, bed, dressing table, and other items in the room. She planned to go out and buy a few old-fashioned door locks before putting the furniture out again.

She went outside and looked at the few people still huddled and groaning in the living room. Standing at a distance, she used her mental power to ask Li Jianguo, "How much money does your family have in total?"

Li Jianguo replied, "1432 yuan, a box of small yellow croakers and a jade bracelet."

Li Yao was a little surprised to hear this and asked, "Where did the little yellow croaker and the jade bracelet come from?"

Just as Li Jianguo was about to answer, his eyes unfocused, Wang Xiumei tackled him and covered his mouth.

Li Yao laughed at Wang Xiumei's actions, thinking she was overestimating herself.

She directly controlled several people to kneel in front of Li Meng's incontinent yellow genitals, and forced Wang Xiumei's face into the genitals.

Li Meng and Li Kang gasped in surprise, unable to move, staring at Li Yao in fear, too afraid to speak.

Li Yao controlled Wang Xiumei to lift her face, but her chin hadn't been put back on yet. So she got a mouthful.

Li Yao felt nauseous and controlled Li Jianguo to ask, "Where did the little yellow croaker come from?"

Li Jianguo answered blankly, "My parents left us two boxes in total, one for me and one for my brother. The jade bracelet was secretly given to me by my mother, who said she would use it to get married."

Tsk, it seems the two old folks are still biased, but that's not important. Li Yao asked, "Where are the things and the money?"

Li Jianguo said, "It's buried under the jujube tree in the front yard of my house in the village."
