Chapter 115 Treasure Map
Seeing that she was still being stubborn, Li Yiyi decided to be more ruthless, "Okay, it doesn't matter if you don't tell me. I don't want to know. Anyway, I bought this painting just because it's beautiful. If one day I don't want it anymore, maybe I will use it as a table leg."
"No, it's a treasure map, you can't do this to it," she shouted to stop him.
"Oh, it turns out to be a treasure map!" Now she finally understood why Yang Tao was so persistent in looking for this painting and why he wanted to buy it so much.
Yang Tao looked at her with an expression that seemed like she understood everything, and slapped her own talkative mouth with a look of regret.
"Now that you know the secret of this painting, I know you won't be willing to give it to me. How about this, we look for the treasure together, and then we split it 50-50. Do you think it's okay?" She suggested with a painful look on her face.
"I'm sorry, I'm not interested in treasure maps!" Li Yiyi responded with a sneer to her proposal.
Yang Tao was delighted. Could it be that this Li was a person who didn't like money?
"I knew that you, Li Yiyi, are not an ordinary person. Naturally, you would not like this kind of money. Since you don't like it, give it to me. I like it." After saying that, she stretched out a hand to ask for the painting.
Li Yiyi listened to her complimenting her, and the corners of her mouth curved up, "I didn't expect that I am so good in your eyes, Yang Tao."
When Yang Tao heard her words, the expression on his face became as ugly as if he had eaten something.
If it wasn't for the purpose of getting the painting, she wouldn't have praised this guy named Li!
"Yes, yes, you are the best. Okay, where is that painting? Give it to me." She continued to praise him against her conscience.
Seeing her trying to praise herself, Li Yiyi raised her lips, then retracted them, staring at her intently and saying, "When did I ever say I would give you that painting? Even if you praise me to the sky, I won't give you this painting."
"You, you are playing tricks on me!" Yang Tao glared at her angrily.
"I never said I would give you that painting. It's just your wishful thinking. Okay, get out of the way and don't disturb me on my way home." After saying that, she got on her bike and left.
Yang Tao turned around angrily, looked at her leaving back, stomped her feet twice and cursed, "Li Yiyi, just wait, I won't let you live to enjoy this treasure."
Hearing the vicious warning coming from behind, Li Yiyi just curled the corners of her mouth and sneered.
When she returned to Lao Jiang's house, the whole family was waiting for her to come back for dinner.
Seeing everyone sitting in the yard waiting for her to eat, Li Yiyi ran in with a roast chicken in her hand, embarrassed, "Didn't I tell you that if I'm not back, you can just eat by yourselves, you don't have to wait for me."
"The meal has just been prepared, and you're back, sister-in-law." Mrs. Jiang said with a soothing smile.
Li Yiyi smiled and took a look at the food on the table. The food didn't look like it was freshly prepared at all. It was clearly not even hot.
"I'm lucky today. I found a roast chicken at the supply and marketing cooperative." She held up the roast chicken she bought from the Space Supermarket and told everyone.
When the children at home heard that there would be roast chicken to eat, their little faces were full of excitement.
Seeing that Jiang's mother didn't say anything, Jiang's second wife quickly stepped forward to take the roast chicken from her hand, and said with a smile, "I'll take it to the kitchen and chop it up."
After Li Yiyi handed the roast chicken out, she found a stool and sat down, while talking to Brother Jiang and Sister-in-law Jiang about their eldest son's studies.
When Brother Jiang and Sister-in-law Jiang heard this, they were both stunned.
"Do you really want to read it?" Mrs. Jiang looked at the man next to her a little nervously.
Brother Jiang glanced at Li Yiyi and nodded vigorously, "Study. My third brother sent a telegram last time saying that studying is not the same as before. The most important thing is to have knowledge in your head so that you can go to the big city to make a living."
When Li Yiyi heard what Brother Jiang said, she was a little surprised. She didn't expect that Jiang Hong would say these words to Brother Jiang behind her back.
But it was a help to her.
Jiang Jianshe, who was worried, immediately broke into a happy smile on his little face when he heard his father's words of approval. He finally had the opportunity to go to school.
Brother Jiang said with envy, "In that case, when my son Jianguo is old enough to go to school, I will send him to school too."
Li Yiyi didn't want her two brothers to think she was biased, so she continued, "Second brother, if Jianguo is old enough to go to school, I will also support him."
"No, no. Although I don't have any skills, as long as I am willing to work hard, I can send this child to school." Brother Jiang waved his hand quickly.
Brother Jiang blushed and spoke up, "Third brother's wife, you don't have to pay for Jianshe's tuition. Your sister-in-law and I are very grateful if you can help him go to school in the city. Your sister-in-law and I have the tuition. It's not easy for you and my third brother. We appreciate your kindness."
Li Yiyi opened her mouth to speak, and suddenly Jiang's father interrupted, "The third brother's family, the eldest and second brother are right. As the two older brothers, how can they let you and the third brother pay for their children to go to school? No, I appreciate your kindness on their behalf. Let them, as parents, figure out the tuition issue, and you don't have to worry about it."
Seeing that the head of the family had spoken, Li Yiyi didn't know what to say. Finally, she took a step back and said, "Then, when the children go to school, their papers and pens will be taken care of by me, the third aunt."
Anyway, there is an endless supply of paper and pens in the space supermarket.
The two brothers looked at each other, and when they saw that their old father didn't say anything, they agreed.
"Jianshe, you should get ready in the next two days. Your aunt will take you to report there when the time comes." She said to Jiang Jianshe, whose face could not contain his excitement.
Jiang Jianshe clenched his fists and said, "Okay, thank you, Third Aunt."
He knew that if it weren't for his Third Aunt, he would probably still be like the other children in the village, continuing to live a muddle-headed life. When he reached a certain age, he would stay in the village with his parents to farm and earn work points. If his family had money, they would marry him to a woman from the next village, and he would stay in this village for the rest of his life.
At night, while the two children were sleeping soundly, Li Yiyi took out the landscape painting in the space supermarket and looked at it carefully.
She looked left and right, and after more than ten minutes she couldn't see what treasure Yang Tao mentioned in the painting.
Seeing that she really couldn't see anything, she put it back into the space supermarket with a lack of interest, lay down on the bed, and fell asleep while holding her two sleeping children.
At the same time, in a deep mountain just one town away from Jiangjia Village, a battle between good and evil is taking place.
In the dark night, Jiang Hong, dressed specially, was waiting for the arrival of prey in this quiet woods like a king of the grassland.
