Feng Mingshu was unaware of the Zhang family's affairs in Bincheng because she hadn't left her address with anyone when she left Bincheng, not even her neighbors.

Therefore, she was also unaware of the situation of the small villa.

On the day she left, she went to the housing management bureau and handed the house over to them for management. The rent was only one yuan per year, and she signed a ten-year contract, which was practically a free gift.

If she can return to Bincheng in ten years, the small villa will be back in her hands; if not, then she won't force it.

The Feng family's ancestral home in the countryside was handled in a similar manner.

Feng Mingshu was more concerned about the ancestral home. After arriving on the island, he immediately sent a letter to Wang Ma and also brought some dried seafood.

Wang Ma replied immediately and even mailed her some dried plums.

As per their previous agreement, they did not contact each other again after that.

Until August of this year, Wang Ma suddenly sent her a letter.

The letter stated that the young men and women in the village were influenced by the outside world and wanted to carry out the "Destroy the Four Olds" movement. The temples on the mountain and the ancestral archways of their families were smashed and burned. Later, they even made a fuss about demolishing the Feng family's ancestral home, saying that capitalists' property should not be kept.

At the crucial moment, following Feng Mingshu's instructions, Wang Ma first produced the newspaper in which she had been praised by the leader, and then produced a rental contract.

The contract states that the Feng family ancestral home was rented to the brigade for ten years at a rate of one yuan per year, and the rent has already been paid.

The brigade leader was somewhat bewildered when he saw the contract, because the brigade had never paid that rent. But that didn't stop him from immediately accepting it and stating that the Feng family's ancestral home was the brigade's property and no one could damage it.

The ancestral home was saved, and it was soon assigned by the production brigade to serve as a dormitory for educated youth who had been sent to the countryside.

Wang Ma's private plot of land was near the Feng family's ancestral home, so Wang Ma would take a look at it every day.

Upon closer inspection, they spotted a female educated youth digging in the Feng family's courtyard. When Wang Ma went to argue with her, the young woman simply said she was digging to plant vegetables so as not to waste the beautiful courtyard.

In reality, the production brigade allocated private plots to the educated youth, so they didn't need to grow vegetables in their yards at all.

Wang Ma sensed something was amiss, but having no right to stop it, she wrote a letter to Feng Mingshu explaining the situation.

After reading the letter, Feng Mingshu sighed softly.

There are many smart people in this world, but the place where the treasure of the Feng family's ancestral home is hidden is not something that ordinary people can find.

Of course, even if something unexpected happens, she would be too far away to help and would have no choice but to give up.

So Feng Mingshu wrote back to Wang Ma, telling her that as long as the house hadn't collapsed, she didn't need to worry about it.

Half a month later, Wang Ma received the letter and breathed a sigh of relief. Then she said to her youngest son and daughter-in-law, "I told you long ago that Madam and Miss donated all their money to the country. That ancestral home is just an empty house. The Feng family kept it because they are nostalgic."

Wang Ma's youngest son was an honest man, and when he heard what his mother said, he nodded to indicate that he understood.

But the younger daughter-in-law pursed her lips: "Mom, only you would believe that. Those capitalists are all cunning. They must have hidden something beforehand, but we don't know where..."

"Shut up!"

Wang Ma slammed her hand on the table, pointed at her youngest daughter-in-law, and yelled, "Without the Feng family, we wouldn't have the good life we ​​have now! If you're so ungrateful, then get out of here and go back to your parents' home!"

The youngest daughter-in-law was stunned by the scolding and asked incredulously, "You just gave birth to a grandson for your Wang family, and you want to kick me out?"

"If you don't leave, I'm afraid you'll raise my grandson to be an ungrateful wretch," Wang Ma sneered.

Seeing that her grandson couldn't persuade her mother-in-law, the youngest daughter-in-law immediately started sobbing in front of her husband. Wang Ma's youngest son couldn't bear it and couldn't bear to part with his wife, so he knelt down and begged his mother.

Wang Ma finally felt sorry for her son and didn't send her daughter-in-law back to her parents' home. However, she still harbored resentment and from then on, she took care of all her grandchildren and taught them herself.

Of course, that's a story for another time.

Right now, the Feng family's yard has been completely dug up. Before they could even plant any vegetables, it started raining, making the whole yard uninhabitable.

This annoyed the educated youth, who criticized Liu Xinyi, the female educated youth who suggested digging up the yard.

Liu Xinyi was also frustrated. She dug up the yard and searched under the stove and kang (heated brick bed), but found nothing.

Before she transmigrated, she had seen an interview with Qian Haoyong, one of the top ten richest people in China. In the interview, Qian Haoyong clearly said that his initial capital came from the Feng family's ancestral home.

After becoming wealthy, he went to great lengths to buy back the old belongings of the Feng family and return them to them. He also gifted them some company shares and a mansion, thus creating a legendary tale.

Liu Xinyi didn't care about any good stories; after she transmigrated to this era, she only had two things on her mind.

First, find Qian Haoyong and get on his good side in advance; second, find the valuables in the Feng family's ancestral home, keep a small portion for self-defense, and give the majority to Qian Haoyong as an investment, which will also bind the two of them together.

Liu Xinyi had read the reports; Qian Haoyong had never been married, but he had a lot of scandals.

However, it's inevitable that wealthy people will have many scandals.

But if I stayed by Qian Haoyong's side when he was down on his luck, and considering the kindness of investing in him, I don't believe I can't keep him tied down.

What Liu Xinyi didn't expect was that the first step almost tripped her up. She went to Qian Haoyong's hometown, but couldn't find anyone with that name at all.

Just when she was about to give up in despair, she met a hoodlum who looked like Qian Haoyong in a black market.

After making inquiries, it was learned that this person was named Qian Eryong, lived in Xiaowangzhuang, not in the county or commune, and was not an ambitious young man, but a notorious ruthless and heartless person in the black market.

Although this information differed somewhat from the interviews she had seen, successful people tend to embellish their backgrounds and experiences after achieving success, and changing their names is not a big deal.

The key point is that the face matched.

Liu Xinyi was overjoyed and immediately used the black market to stage a scene where she was being chased and beaten. She successfully tackled Qian Eryong in an alley, and what followed was a story of a hero rescuing a beauty.

The script is so perfect.

However, things went wrong during implementation, or rather, she misjudged Qian Eryong's personality.

Qian Eryong was not a chivalrous man at all. Not only did he avoid her advances, but he also kicked her away when she hugged his leg. He even complained that she wasn't pretty enough and didn't deserve to use his beauty to seduce her.

Liu Xinyi was so angry that she almost lost her composure, but fortunately the people in the black market were capable enough to successfully stop Qian Eryong. However, what happened next was still beyond her expectations.

Qian Eryong used her shoulders to climb over the wall and escape, leaving her with the people in the black market.

Perhaps in his eyes, he was already in cahoots with the people in the black market.

Fortunately, the police received the news and rescued her.

When one plan failed, she simply signed up to be sent to the countryside and used her relatives' connections in the educated youth office to successfully settle in Xiaowangzhuang and become an educated youth.
