Song Lianfeng was just saying it casually; she really didn't have the time or the mood to care about these two people.

However, Jiang Hong and her brother in the next courtyard were sitting on the kang (a heated brick bed) counting money at that moment.

During this period, the brother and sister, along with Jiang He's acquaintances and their cronies, actually did something big: tinkering with things.

She had heard her grandmother say before that Jiang Qiao and Ning Hao had done this kind of business back then and made a lot of money.

However, it didn't work when her family did it themselves. At that time, she was still young and hadn't transmigrated yet. Now it's different. With her, a transmigrator, here, in this era where there are opportunities to make money everywhere, it's not easy not to make money. As long as a person is bold enough, money will just pour in.

When Jiang He saw this pile of money, he was dumbfounded. "So much! In all my years, this is the first time I've ever seen so much money coming back."

"If I'd known it would be like this, I would have wasted my time before. Sister, you always have a way with things."

Jiang Hong looked at Jiang He triumphantly and said, "How about that? When I told you guys, your brothers were still doubting me. Now you should know how powerful your sister is, right?"

From now on, you all have to listen to me. I guarantee you'll all live a life of luxury.

However, we can only do this business for a short time. You need to find a proper job as soon as possible.

"Second brother, I'm really not lying to you. You really need to take this matter seriously. Now that we have some money, we can ask someone for help. Don't count on Dad."

Jiang He didn't take it seriously. "What kind of job can make this much money? Why would I need to work? I've earned enough. I can just lie at home counting money every day and that's better than working a job where I have to put up with other people's attitudes."

I'm just baffled. Why do you keep wanting me to go to work? What's so good about it? Being controlled and having no freedom!

Jiang Hong sighed, "Don't even mention you, I also want to find a proper job. Brother, we can't do this kind of speculation for long. The authorities are cracking down hard. If you walk by the river long enough, you're bound to get your shoes wet."

Having a proper job is the right thing to do. I'm not even as good as you. At least you have a city household registration, while I'm still in the countryside. If I want to stay in the city in the future, the only way is to find a job. Don't forget, we need to eat.

Having money doesn't buy everything, especially food. Listen to me, let's earn more and find jobs quickly.

Jiang He held the money in his hand and said with some regret, "It's a pity, it's just a bit tiring. If only I could pick up money for free."

Jiang Hong rolled her eyes at her brother. "There's such a good thing, like getting money for free?"

Jiang He smiled mysteriously, then glanced outside and said, "Let me tell you, those guys are figuring out how to make some quick money these days, much easier than what we're doing."

Jiang Hong looked at her second brother with suspicion. Jiang He whispered something, and Jiang Hong exclaimed, "My God, they're too bold! If they get caught, it could be a matter of life and death!"

Besides, who knows what's buried in that cemetery? What if there's nothing there, and we attract something unclean?

Jiang He said nonchalantly, "It's not as mysterious as you make it out to be. The person has been dead for many years. What's the big deal? When a person dies, it's like a lamp going out. There's no such thing as ghosts or gods. Real gold and silver are the most tangible things."

Jiang Hong disagreed, saying, "Brother, I don't think this is a good idea. You'd better not get involved. If you get caught, with your criminal record, it's hard to say whether you'll even be able to get out."

Jiang He waved his hand impatiently, "Who do you think I am? All my brothers are reliable. Besides, it doesn't take much effort. Just dig it up and take it directly. It won't delay our business."

I know what's going on. If we don't get involved, wouldn't we be at a disadvantage? Everyone says there are a lot of good things buried in that cemetery. If we do it secretly, who will know?

Everyone's involved, so nobody dares to tell anyone. Just wait, I'll bring you something nice later.

Jiang Hong would be lying if she said she wasn't tempted, but she didn't have the guts to do it herself. However, since Jiang He had made up his mind, she wouldn't stop him. If they managed to dig it up, they would really be rolling in money.

"Okay, I don't care anymore. Just be careful. Don't be silly and go down first. Go down later. Anyway, everyone gets their share, so it doesn't matter if you go early or late."

"Alright, I'm going to sleep. I'll pick up the goods tomorrow. You guys are busy, we'll talk more later."

That night, Jiang Hong slept with the money in her arms; nothing made her sleep more soundly than the money.

She even dreamed that she would be a rich person in the future, with luxury cars, mansions, a retinue of servants, and endless money to spend as she pleased.

Jiang He and his group continued their money-making ventures, paying no attention to what was happening in the courtyard.

As for Ning Hao's return, people only heard about it briefly and that was it. This person has nothing to do with them. Even if he comes back, he'll just be a worker, earning a meager monthly salary that they no longer care about.

After their first success with those brothers, these guys got carried away. They'd tasted the sweetness of it all; it was a risk-free, highly profitable venture, far better than secretly selling things on the black market.

Moreover, Jiang Hong bought up all the unsold items. In her eyes, they were all genuine antiques. Although she didn't understand these things, she believed that if a wealthy family buried them, they must be old objects, much more reliable than her trying to find them by chance.

In later generations, this item would be incredibly valuable. You wouldn't need many; just having ten or eight pieces would make her a millionaire.

Of course, in her opinion, the more of this stuff the better; who would complain about having too much money?

The people in the courtyard had no idea that the two Jiang children were becoming increasingly audacious. Although they saw that the brother and sister were eating and drinking better and better, everyone just assumed that Jiang Hong and the others had found work to do.

As for the brother and sister, people only mentioned them briefly in private.

Neither of these two people are easy to deal with, and nobody wants to meddle in such a trivial matter.

Especially for people like Wen Jingwan, who are so busy they're practically dying, they don't have the time or inclination to pay attention to such things.

After spending some time at home with Jiang Qiao, Ning Hao went directly to report for duty.

Once he started working, he became busy again. At most, he would come back to spend time with Jiang Qiao when he had free time, or he would buy a lot of nutritional supplements for Jiang Qiao and her family.

Originally, Wen Jingwan and the others didn't want to accept it, after all, Ning Hao himself is a young man and needs expenses. He also has grandparents, aunts and uncles at home, and they can't all support them.

"Auntie, apart from what's for Qiao'er, the rest is for me to show filial piety to the elders in the family and to take care of her younger brother. If she's not busy, I don't need to worry about these things; Qiao'er has already arranged them."

Before, when I was away, Qiao'er took care of my grandparents. You, please stay and look after Qiao'er. I have to go on a business trip tomorrow, and I don't know when I'll be back. Please take good care of her.
