Chapter 8: Blindingly Beautiful! You really can't underestimate a reborn female lead...
There was no one at Xu Wanqing's house; presumably, Xu's mother was on duty, which was convenient for Zhao Shuyi.
Since they had the audacity to stuff those harmful things into her house, they should be prepared to be retaliated against.
Zhao Shuyi first went into Xu Wanqing's room.
Leather shoes, dresses, shirts, face cream, malted milk powder...
Zhao Shuyi glanced around and saw that many of the things belonged to the original owner of the body. She couldn't help but grit her teeth again.
These items are worth about five or six hundred yuan.
Let's give her a discount and charge her 500.
Zhao Shuyi found a stool, took out a tattered cardboard box from behind the cardboard box on top of the wardrobe, and then found a biscuit tin box that was larger than the packaging of malted milk powder inside the cardboard box.
This box of cookies was also taken from the original owner.
That was bought from the Friendship Store; it was a huge box, and it cost twelve yuan.
Don't ask Zhao Shuyi how she knew; the book mentions the female lead's ways of making money more than once.
Before obtaining the original owner's space, Xu Wanqing's treasures were all hidden in this box. After obtaining the space, her things were naturally transferred to the space.
Zhao Shuyi opened it and was startled by what she saw inside the tin box.
That stack of brand-new ten-yuan notes must have been worth at least a thousand yuan.
Where did she, a high school graduate who didn't even have a job, get so much money, and besides money, she also had various industrial vouchers and other tickets that were usually hard to obtain?
Reborn female protagonists are definitely not to be underestimated!
The book mentions that after her rebirth, she will help some potential high-achieving individuals who are temporarily in trouble, whom she knew from her previous life, in order to gain resources and connections, but it doesn't say that she has that many things!
However, if Zhao Shuyi hadn't seen these tickets, she would have almost forgotten about the tickets that the other party had borrowed or asked for from the original owner of this body.
Zhao Shuyi didn't take advantage of her; she only took what was roughly the original owner's share, and only took fifty-five of the large sums of money, leaving none for herself.
This included the pen she took today; Zhao Shuyi calculated that she received fifty yuan and two industrial coupons.
Taking back what belongs to her does not mean that Zhao Shuyi will let the other party off the hook.
She didn't want to take the things, and she certainly couldn't let Xu Wanqing keep them for herself.
She didn't do much; she simply took the tin box to Xu's mother's room.
The book explicitly mentions that Xu's mother accepted benefits from patients, and the female protagonist even had a big argument with her mother about it, standing on the moral high ground.
According to Xu Wanqing, although she deceived her best friend, flirted with a man, and obtained good things, she was upright and honest. Her mother, on the other hand, was not a good mother, a good doctor, or a good woman because she accepted money from others.
According to Xu's mother, without her schemes, her daughter would be nothing.
The two had a cold war for several years over this.
I can say that I've resolved their conflict in advance.
Soon, Zhao Shuyi found the ledger mentioned in the book that Xu Wanqing had discovered, which had become the trigger for the conflict between the mother and daughter.
Xu's mother had a habit of remembering every single source of income.
Of course, she also knew that some of the profits were illegal and non-compliant, so she kept two separate ledgers.
Zhao Shuyi looked at it and saw that she remembered the date and the patient's illness very clearly. She was truly a skilled accountant.
Without much delay, Zhao Shuyi went directly into the space and copied all the contents.
Having this ledger was enough to cause chaos in the Xu family.
But Zhao Shuyi is not a kind-hearted person.
A doctor with so many extravagantly dressed daughters, and all the high-quality furniture in his house, including seven or eight pieces of cured meat in the kitchen.
No wonder Xu Wanqing never wanted to bring people to her house.
The original owner of this body truly misplaced all her sincerity.
He revised the complaint letter, rewrote it four or five times, and then left quietly.
But instead of rushing to deliver the whistleblower letter, she went to another place. Gao Zhiyun and Xu Wanqing were such a perfect match, so of course they should share in the misfortune.
With both Gao's parents at home, and his mother, who was in a light sleep, there was also a difficult situation for Zhao Shuyi to sneak in.
But this was no challenge for Zhao Shuyi, as this place was the original owner's nightmare.
The eldest daughter of the Gao family has already married, and her original small room has been turned into a storage room. The window of that room was already damaged before she got married.
No one in the family cared about this daughter, so why would they care about a window like this?
Later, after the original owner married into the family, the house was robbed, and the window was finally repaired.
The original owner of this body was also cursed as a jinx for a long time.
Because of this title, Zhao Shuyi is going to give the Gao family a good welcome tonight.
She was slender, and although it was somewhat difficult, she managed to squeeze through the small window.
The door to the storage room wasn't locked, and Zhao Shuyi pushed it open easily with almost no sound.
Once inside, she didn't go into the two occupied rooms. Although she had come with great courage, she wasn't that bold.
Knowing that the Gao family's key was hidden in a small crack under the stool in the main room, she easily obtained it and quickly opened the door to the Gao family's study.
The Gao family's study was actually not very big, not even as big as her room, but it was decorated quite elegantly.
Gao's father used to be a person who dabbled in refined pursuits.
Knowing that his son and the researcher's daughter were having a close relationship, he often boasted about it to others.
There is also an old painting in the room, which the original owner gave to the other party as a birthday gift. It was painted by his grandfather.
Zhao Shuyi, of course, wouldn't allow the old man's belongings to remain here, so she took them directly.
Then she searched around and finally found a hidden compartment in the wall inside the bookshelf next to her.
If Zhao Shuyi hadn't been certain that his family possessed this item, she might not have been able to find it.
The hidden compartment was blocked by several books of quotations. Even if you took them down one by one, you might not find a small switch on the bookshelf. Only by turning that switch could you open the hidden compartment.
If she hadn't come, someone else would probably have had to smash the bookshelf to find the hidden compartment.
While pondering how to report the contents of this place so that people would discover it, Zhao Shuyi opened the hidden compartment and took out the box inside.
When she opened it, it was so bright it blinded her.
There was actually half a box of small yellow croakers inside.
Zhao Shuyi knew that many people had acquired a lot of wealth during the ten-year special period, but wasn't it not time yet?
Where did Gao's father get so much money?
Zhao Shuyi was somewhat conflicted.
There's something fishy about this money. If given the chance, he might be able to turn things around with it.
Zhao Shuyi wouldn't feel at ease unless she personally handed the items over to a reliable person.
But who is there that I can trust? And even if I could, what reason would I have to hand them over?
Just as Zhao Shuyi was hesitating, she suddenly heard voices coming from the next room.
"Old Gao, did you hear anything?"
Zhao Shuyi's pupils contracted. She stuffed the item into her spatial storage, and immediately put the rest of the item back into its original place!
She ran out of the study almost without stopping, put the key back in its place, hid in the storage room, and then immediately entered the space.
It's much safer to enter and exit the storage room.
Zhao Shuyi entered the space, panting heavily. After a while, she heard the sound of a door opening.
"There was no sound at all, you must have misheard."
"I think I just heard the sound of a lock closing over in the study."
The two men were walking hurriedly, probably going to check the door to the study.
Zhao Shuyi's heart tightened.
I wonder if they'll immediately realize that the things inside are missing.
If she discovers it now, it might not be good. Although she is confident she can leave, it will still affect her plans.
Soon after, voices came from the other end.
"You're perfectly fine, aren't you? I think you're just still half asleep."
"Perhaps I misheard."
The man said impatiently, "Go to sleep, go to sleep. You're just making trouble for no reason."
After a long while, when she heard that there was no more noise outside, Zhao Shuyi carefully left the space through the small window.
She deliberately wore a pair of men's cloth shoes before coming, without even wiping them off, just to see if they would notice tomorrow.
While waiting, Zhao Shuyi had already checked the contents of the box.
Besides those small yellow croakers, there were nearly two thousand yuan worth of gold coins, two imported watches, and an account book.
This taught Zhao Shuyi a lesson: don't keep a record of doing bad things, otherwise the ledger will end up in the hands of certain departments.
Unfortunately, these ledgers belonged to Gao's father; she couldn't find Gao's mother's.
However, if Gao's father's situation is exposed, Gao's mother's situation at the neighborhood office will likely not be good either.
She also went into the space and copied the accusation letter against the Gao family several times.
He also wrote several large characters, using Gao Zhiyun's handwriting.
If you can't frame them, then just annoy them.
Disgusting things deserve these disgusting methods.
Since there was no committee yet, Zhao Shuyi didn't know if there was any collusion among these people, so she stuffed the whistleblower letter into several places.
The offices of their respective unit leaders, the security department, the entrance of the police station, the neighborhood committee, and the doorsteps of the families they didn't get along with in the book and in their original dreams.
Running around all night really tired Zhao Shuyi.
She felt that if she had the opportunity in the future, she could arrange a bicycle or even a car in the space, which would make things much more convenient.
These days, forget about cars; even bicycles have license plates, so it's not that convenient.
Well, it's not like I often need to do things in such a rush in the middle of the night.
Let's talk about it later.
When Zhao Shuyi got home, she had already sent out more than ten letters of complaint and posted them in large characters on the bulletin board.
She had done everything she could. If the other party could still escape after all that, then the power of the plot was simply too strong, and she had to run even faster.
Sitting in the space looking at the box of small yellow croakers, Zhao Shuyi felt her eyes burning.
This doesn't belong to her, so she definitely can't accept it.
But how do we hand it over?
After pondering for a long time, Zhao Shuyi still couldn't come up with a solution.
Chaos is breaking out everywhere. Zhao Shuyi felt that if she handed it over now, it would likely be embezzled by some people. It would be better to wait ten years and then find a way to hand it over through public welfare or other means.
"Okay, let's do it this way!"
After cheering herself up, Zhao Shuyi put her things aside and began to think about her paddy field.
Now that we have the seeds and the land, when is a better time to plant?
Zhao Shuyi didn't know how to farm, and she was a little confused as she held the rice seeds in her hand.
Since it's already a paddy field, there shouldn't be any need to soak it in water first, right? She remembered that many grains need to be soaked in hot water to promote germination before planting.
She wouldn't know how; if she didn't get the water temperature right and the food got overcooked, it would be a waste of her time. She could always try again later.
She didn't have enough seeds to buy, so she only sparsely scattered them across a quarter of the paddy field.
If that doesn't work, I'll ask someone else for help later.
After the planting was completed, Zhao Shuyi began to tidy up her house.
She took the sewing machine, the clothes, the tables and chairs... Zhao Shuyi took a chair, since her space also needed furniture. She packed two small boxes, emptied the kitchen of rice, flour, and cooking oil, and carefully selected pots and pans to put into her space.
They took everything they could from their parents' room.
The only thing she couldn't take with her was this wardrobe, which was said to be part of her maternal grandfather's dowry to her mother.
After taking the wardrobe, Zhao Shuyi also took the photos under the glass of their desk.
Take away any books from the study that might be at risk, and any books that might be useful in the future.
After taking everything that was supposed to be taken, Zhao Shuyi tidied up the house again, trying to make it look more normal.
Then she took the lock she bought yesterday and locked all the doors.
She was wearing a polyester shirt and comfortable black casual pants, with a small red leather suitcase and a bundle containing some food next to her; that was all she had for her journey.
Even though she was wearing those ubiquitous military green rubber-soled shoes, she still looked like a delicate young lady.
There was nothing she could do; the original owner of this body was naturally beautiful, and she couldn't very well deliberately smear soot on her face.
With Zheng Jingcheng and his men around, it shouldn't be that bad.
