Mrs. Ren stopped talking.
Alas, it's their fault for having bad intentions towards the Kong family.
Ever since Ren Wumin, the sister-in-law, was able to dream about the future, several events had brought many benefits to their family, and they also had the opportunity to move to the city now.
As for the Kong family, they are their biggest target this time, no doubt about it.
In the sister-in-law's dream, the Kong family was a family of martyrs. It seemed that there were only two old people and two young children. They lived in poverty and relied on the martyr pensions that were originally distributed.
They are one of the poorest families in Tianshui Lane.
But who knew that the Kong family’s ancestors were once wealthy.
The compound at No. 27 Zhe on the 10th Street was originally the house left by the ancestors of the Kong family. Under the kitchen, there was a large wooden box filled with gold, silver and treasures.
After 1980, the Kong family relied on this big box to make a fortune and became one of the richest businessmen in the country.
After hearing about such a good life from their sister-in-law, they decided that the big wooden box would belong to their Ren family, and the opportunity to become wealthy businessmen in the future would also belong to their Ren family.
If necessary, it would be even better if the remaining orphans and elderly people in the Kong family could be killed, so that no one would compete with the Ren family for this opportunity to make a fortune.
It can be said that the entire Ren family regarded the gold and silver in that wooden box as their own property.
The Kong family lives at the 27th household on the 10th Street.
Ren Wumin and his brother and sister-in-law finally arrived at the door after delivering leeks.
There was a hole in the dilapidated wooden door, and even the courtyard wall was missing a piece on the east and a corner on the west. Inside was a big tree taller than the courtyard wall. There were few leaves on the dry branches, and the whole tree exuded a smell of decay.
Who would have thought that in the home of such a poor family, there was a box of gold, silver and treasures hidden in the kitchen.
"Can this family really have that big wooden box?" Mrs. Ren was a little confused. Life had become so bad, could they still keep the gold and silver and not exchange them for something better on the black market?
Ren Wumin looked at her eldest brother who was about to knock on the door and replied quietly, "They have either elderly people or young children in their family. If they show off their wealth, won't they die sooner? Or, sister-in-law, do you not trust me at all?"
Ren Dasao understood the first part of the explanation, but as for the second part, Ren Dasao still had to rely on her sister-in-law's dreams for a living. She smiled awkwardly and quickly expressed her sincerity: "How can that be? Even if I don't believe your brother, I have to believe you."
The broken door was opened with a creaking sound.
A little girl of five or six appeared, tilting her head and asking, "Who are you?"
Brother Ren spoke kindly, "We're new to Tianshui Lane, and we'd like to get to know our neighbors. Where are your parents?"
As he spoke, he looked through the not-so-big crack in the door to see the layout of the courtyard, trying to find out where the kitchen was.
Ren Wumin looked at the little girl. Is this Kong Yun, who will become a big shot in the business world in the future?
"My grandfather is in the house." Kong Yun replied, and then said to the courtyard: "Second brother, go and call grandpa out, someone is coming."
Following the rustling sounds in the courtyard, Old Man Kong came out. He had gray hair, wore a pair of reading glasses, and was dressed in patched clothes, but he had a good temperament and looked like an old scholar with the air of books.
Ren Wumin stepped forward and talked for a while, then entered the courtyard openly, observing and memorizing the terrain of the courtyard. Unlike at the Jiang family's side, he didn't just leave the leeks behind, but pushed and shoved with Old Man Kong, talking for nearly five minutes, and inquired about some of the Kong family's affairs. Only then did the three of them leave satisfied.
Only three people from the Kong family were left, the oldest being old and the youngest being young.
Kong Yun looked at the fresh chives and asked, "Can we have chive pancakes today?"
Old Man Kong looked at his greedy granddaughter and nodded, "Okay, when your grandma comes home, we'll talk to her."
Kong Jie shouted: "Great, I can eat pancakes now."
Song Jiayu was at the Third Mountain Research Institute and was not aware of the affairs of the Kong family. When she got home from get off work, she brought a bag of vegetables. Those were vegetables she had grown on the way back using seeds from the institute and her wood-type supernatural powers.
However, that is not spiritual food, it is just food that tastes better and has higher nutritional value than ordinary food.
As for spiritual food, it was basically given once a week, and Jiang Baizhou would eat it directly to nourish the body of that broken basket.
"Today's tomatoes look so juicy, can they be eaten directly?" Zhao Qiuqin felt that these big red fruits should be eaten directly, why should they be used in cooking?
"Mom, cut two of them out and mix them with sugar. Then fry them with eggs in the evening. I'll take some of the leftovers to Lin Xue, Lao Xu, and Yang Zao's family. We'll make tomato and egg noodle soup tomorrow morning with the rest."
Song Jiayu has decided on the future of more than a dozen tomatoes.
"Okay, I'll get it right away. An'an and Ning'ning will definitely like it."
When the sugar-coated tomatoes came out, An An and Ning Ning liked them, but they controlled themselves and didn't eat too much. After eating two slices, they looked at the adults with eager eyes.
The adults' eyes all fell on Song Beiwang again.
Well, the boy of about sixteen or seventeen picked up two slices with chopsticks and stuffed them into his mouth, then took the two little kids out to play.
Song Jiayu went to deliver some tomatoes to the agreed families.
Lin Xue's home.
Little Jingtian, who is less than five years old, becomes the leader of the children in the compound, just because he has a rare foreign item that he bought at a high price - a football.
“Here, here.”
"Kick it for me, I can score a goal!"
"Ouch!"
“…”
The children's voices echoed throughout the courtyard. Given their spirit, they could play until the adults at home called them for dinner.
Lin Xue, who did not work overtime today, was at home, but Gu Siyi was not there.
"It's tomatoes! That's great! Gu Siyi is on duty tonight, and I don't know what Xiaotian and I are going to do for dinner. I'm planning to shamelessly go back to my parents' house for a meal."
Lin Xue was very happy looking at the two red tomatoes. Even if her cooking skills were poor, they wouldn't taste bad.
"Hahaha, I have pork stewed with vermicelli tonight. If you want to eat it, bring a bowl and fill a small bowl to take back."
"Okay, I'll give you a meat ticket worth five taels." Lin Xue didn't want to let her good friend suffer any loss. She and Song Jiayu were already used to exchanging tickets for vegetables in the compound in Tianwen Lane.
Lao Xu's house.
Old Mrs. Xu lived in an east wing of the compound with Xu Mingfan, who had transferred to a school in the city.
The location of the house is better than the back house in Tianwen Lane.
Xu Mingfan, who was doing his homework in the room, opened the window and looked up. He saw Sister Jiayu and was very surprised. He said, "Sister Jiayu is here? Where's Beiwang? What has he been busy with recently? Why hasn't he come to play with me?"
"I don't know about that. Mingfan, if you have time, go and ask yourself. I'll go find Grandma Xu." Song Jiayu said casually.
