"We just interrogated them. There are some things in there that you can't know. I can only say that their family found out through some means that there was a box of treasure in your house, and it was hidden in the kitchen."
The Kong family members who entered the main hall listened to Song Jiayu's words while looking at the six people on the ground. Among them, the little girl Kong Yun was surprised: "It's the new neighbor who sent leeks!"
Old man Kong knew very well that the last time they came to deliver leeks, they were just checking out his house. He looked tired. What was that? Could it be that there was a new neighbor in Tianshui Lane, so their family had to be on guard?
The Kong family members all felt unhappy.
Why is it so difficult to live a good life!
Jiang Baizhou said, "We will take these six people to where they should go. As for the box of things, if you still want to trade, then trade. If you don't want to trade, then find a good place to hide it. We promise not to tell anyone about this matter."
"Thank you! Our family chooses to trade!"
Old man Kong didn't want to keep the box of things anymore, so he exchanged it for some money and food so that his family wouldn't have to live so poorly.
In the next transaction, only four items were revealed in the box, one of which was visibly valuable, namely five small gold bars, an engraved jade seal, etc. During the transaction, Song Jiayu showed her sincerity, and the Kong family did not feel at a disadvantage. The two families exchanged a lot of things on the spot.
And those six people... went where they were supposed to go.
After that night, the six people from the Ren family did not return. Old Mrs. Ren and her mother, who were waiting at home, went to the Kong family's courtyard after daybreak and saw white smoke coming out of the chimney of the Kong family's kitchen. The three children were brushing their teeth and washing their faces in the pool in the yard. Old man Kong, wearing reading glasses, was sitting in the yard threading a needle and mending clothes for the children in the family.
It was as if nothing had happened in that small courtyard.
Ren's mother wanted to go in and ask, but was stopped by Old Lady Ren. The old lady with bound feet took Ren's mother back home.
"Mom, why don't you let me ask?"
"Ask? How do you ask? The Ren family went out in the middle of the night, how would the Kong family know? Are you going to just say that the Ren family came to attack the Kong family last night?"
After hearing what her mother-in-law said, Ren's mother also knew that this was not a good question, and said distressedly: "What should we do? The eldest, the second, the third, the youngest daughter, his father, and the eldest daughter-in-law, six people, they are the only ones who can do things at home. If something happens - I don't know how our family will survive!"
"Xiao Min is a very lucky person. She will definitely be able to turn danger into safety. We can't panic. Maybe they have already taken the things and hidden them outside. Let's wait a day. If no one comes back to report tonight, we will go directly to the street office and say that a family member has disappeared for no apparent reason."
"I listen to my little girl."
Old Mrs. Ren nodded. This daughter-in-law is not smart, but she has one good point, which is that she is obedient.
Now their family can finally live a good life, and the original wife's son is still farming in the countryside.
The little granddaughter in our family is blessed by God. If it were in the past, she would be sent to a high-ranking official to be a concubine, and she would bring so many good things to the family!
It's a pity that the world changes so fast.
Mrs. Ren, upset that she had lost her quick path to wealth, said to Ren's mother, "My shoulders are hurting. Can you give them a massage?"
By the time Ren's mother stood behind Old Madam Ren, massaging her shoulders tirelessly, the only sound in the room was the old madam's critical voice.
“Be gentle!”
"I haven't eaten yet, so it's heavier!"
"Give me another leg massage!"
“…”
On this day, the sun rose in the east and set in the west, and until late at night, no one from the Ren family came to report the news.
The night passed and the day just started to break. Ren's mother supported old lady Ren and went to the street office in Tianshui Lane to tell them about the disappearance of six people in the family.
Song Jiayu did not go to the Third Mountain Agricultural Research Institute today.
"Lao Xu! You're back!"
An excited voice rang out in the room, causing Xu Qinghuan to reach out and scratch his ears. It had been a long time since he heard Song Jiayu speak, but her voice was still as loud as ever.
"Yes, I'm here. They said there was some strange person and they insisted that I be the one to interrogate him. After the interrogation, this is all I got?" Xu Qinghuan's face was full of expression of wasting her time. The army, weapons, training rookies, and carrying out secret missions. Her life had returned to the mode of the end of the world, which was another kind of excitement.
For Ren Wumin, who can only dream and is only concerned with trivial matters around her, she is more interested in bad luck.
"You can't say that. After all, he's a special talent, and he has precognitive dreams. You can test whether it has anything to do with Ren Wumin's environment. When he was in the countryside, he dreamed about rural things. This time when he came to Tianshui Lane, he dreamed about things in Tianshui Lane as well."
Song Jiayu feels that if you try more things, you might come up with something interesting.
"If she's useful, aren't you afraid of hurting yourself?"
"Hey, Lao Xu, who am I? I'm the one the people of the world need the most."
"Where's the chest of treasure?"
"What treasure? Don't talk nonsense!"
Song Jiayu was determined to deny it. Anyway, Ren Wumin's dream only showed that the Kong family had a box of good things. Ren Wumin, who was greedy and wanted to be rich, subconsciously thought that the box was treasure.
This statement was something she had discussed with the Kong family.
No matter how much wealth Ren Wumin claimed was in the box, they simply denied it. They even kept the box under the firewood pile in the kitchen and filled it with a pile of grain, not afraid of anyone looking at it.
What's more, compared to her, the Kong family wanted to get rid of the reputation of having wealth in their family. Their ancestors were not landlords, but just an ordinary wealthy family that accumulated some property. If they were accused of being landlords, the whole family would have no chance of survival.
Xu Qinghuan didn't bother with this aspect. To her, these were just trivial matters.
"Whether it's true or not, you have to make things right and avoid any trouble."
"Don't worry, don't worry, they are all real people."
Song Jiayu hadn't seen Lao Xu for a long time, so she asked again, "Are you busy? Come to my house for dinner? I'll cook you a table full of my specialties!"
Someone swallowed his saliva. What was missing in the busy and wonderful life?
It was undoubtedly delicious. Even if Xu Qinghuan was busy, he could still find time for a meal. "Okay, please invite my grandma and my brother too. I'll pay you."
Song Jiayu glared at him. "What's the matter? I can't even invite you to dinner. Grandma Xu is my grandma, and Brother Mingfan and Beiwang are also brothers. I can't treat you to a meal at my house. Old Xu, old Xu, you've been away for so long, why are you so estranged from me?"
Xu Qinghuan turned his face away, "I can't argue with you!"
The dinner was agreed upon, Song Jiayu came seriously and left happily.
