Because Chang Hua is definitely going to dig up the treasure quietly and then transport it out, with them around, Chang Hua will have no way to dig up the treasure, so the three of them are doomed to die.
Regardless of whether the treasure belonged to Chang Hua or not, Wen Xi did not want to become a fugitive under Chang Hua's command.
Furthermore, if this treasure trove belongs to Painter Chang, then keeping these things for himself would be a wrongdoing on his part, and she could report him.
It is currently impossible to know whether this treasure belongs to Chang Hua or whether the person behind Chang Hua wants to smuggle it abroad.
Wen Xi forced herself to calm down and decided to come up with a good solution. She couldn't let herself, Shen Jiaojiao, and Jiang Yue live in danger.
Chang Hua is still knocking on the door outside, so she can't go out to call Brother Qin. Besides, there might be someone watching them, and if she does anything, others will definitely find out.
So now this matter is a bit tricky.
You shouldn't ask others for help, lest you implicate innocent people.
The knocking continued, and Chang Hua kept babbling on and on, “Wen Xi, open the door, can we have a proper talk? I just want to rent a house, which is a good thing for you. You can get extra rent every month and have more meals, right? Besides, we are all educated youth, so we should help each other, shouldn’t we? I don’t believe that an intellectual like you doesn’t even have this kind of awareness.”
It's not good to let Chang Hua keep shouting like this. If the villagers hear her, they'll really think she has low moral standards and is not united or friendly. The main problem is, how can these people deserve her unity and friendship?
She's incredibly loyal and loving to her own people, okay?
Just as Wen Xi was about to open the door, Lin Yiwan's voice suddenly came from outside, "Who are you? Why are you banging on the door? You've broken the door! Look at the state of this place! You have to pay me back!"
"I didn't break this door, it has nothing to do with me." Chang Hua's eyes darted around.
"It was you who took the picture, I saw it all." Lin Yiwan grabbed Chang Hua's hand. "Aren't you rich? Didn't you force us to rent the house to you? Since you're so rich, pay me back now, one hundred yuan, or you're not leaving today. You're so rude, like an uncivilized animal, unable to understand human language, and you're accusing others of having low moral character. I don't think you have any moral character either. When you're criticizing others, can you reflect on yourself?"
"You want to take our house? I'll go to your house someday and take it over in the same way." Lin Yiwan held Chang Hua's hand tightly.
"I didn't mean to rob you, I just want to rent a room." Chang Hua felt like her wrist was about to break, and the pain brought tears to her eyes.
"You want to rent a house, right? Okay, I'll take you to rent a house right now." Lin Yiwan grabbed Chang Hua's wrist and dragged her away. They arrived at a house in the village, and Lin Yiwan went straight to the point, "Auntie, this lady wants to rent a room. You have so many rooms, you should be able to spare one for her, right?"
"Yes, yes!" The aunt was overjoyed and quickly pulled Chang Hua over. "Girl, come here quickly. I have a spare room. Just tidy it up and put a bed in it, and I guarantee you'll sleep comfortably and happily."
"Hmph, you think you can mess with me!" Lin Yiwan clapped her hands triumphantly, as if she had just touched something dirty instead of a person, and then turned and left.
Lin Yiwan quickly returned to the gate of Wenxi's house. "Xiaoxi, it's me. You can open the door now."
Wen Xi opened the courtyard gate and smiled awkwardly, "Yi Wan, thank you for getting me out of that situation just now, otherwise I don't know how much more I would have had to talk! By the way, which house did you take her to?"
"The most awful family in our village, I guarantee they'll make her suffer," Lin Yiwan said smugly.
The aunt she found was a widow with a cunning son. The two of them lived together, so there were many empty rooms. Chang Hua could rent all the empty rooms if she wanted, so why did she have to come to Wenxi's house to squeeze in?
Moreover, given the availability of better options, her insistence on moving to Wenxi's house raises serious questions about her motives.
“That person must have been a new educated youth, right? I heard three more have arrived,” Lin Yiwan said.
Wenxi nodded. "She's new here, but we're busy with spring planting and don't have time to get together. I don't know her yet, and I don't know why she insisted on staying at our house. I also don't know how she knows so much about my family."
"Isn't Jiang Yue's younger brother at the educated youth settlement? Maybe he's the one who told them!" Lin Yiwan pouted. Luckily, she had come to a family with a nice atmosphere.
Wen Xi sighed almost imperceptibly. She had to find a way to resolve Chang Hua's matter, otherwise the three sisters would be in danger.
Furthermore, it's unclear whether Chang Hua has anyone behind her, or even who that person is. If they want to smuggle these treasures abroad, then that person must have a high social status, and it's not something a lowly educated youth like her can contend with.
Why……
Meanwhile, the aunt led Chang Hua to an empty room. "Young lady, you're a new educated youth who just arrived the day before yesterday, right? You're so pretty. My house has many rooms, so renting a room here would be perfect for you. How about this room? Is it big enough? I won't take your money for nothing. You only need to pay twenty yuan a year. If you eat with us, just bring your food rations; you don't need to pay anything else..."
If Chang Hua is willing to marry her son as his wife, that would be even better. If not, the rent money can be used to help her son get married in the future.
Once they have money, no one will look down on them, a widow and her children.
"Auntie, I think I'll go look at other places!" Chang Hua didn't really want to rent the house; she just wanted to move into Wen Xi's house, then take it over and carry out her plan!
She didn't want to spend a single penny renting a house. After all, there were already houses available, so why should she waste her money?
Chang Hua turned to leave, but her aunt tightened her grip and held her tightly. "Girl, you won't find a better or more spacious house in our village. Really, you should rent our house. It's much cheaper than other houses..."
How could a widow possibly let such a tempting offer slip by!
Chang Hua knew she couldn't get away for the time being, so she had no choice but to agree. The widow, worried that she wouldn't come to stay, asked her to pay a year's rent first.
Chang Hua was unwilling, but thinking about the generous reward she would receive after the deed was done, and also wanting to get this aunt to help her, she took out her money, counted out twenty yuan, and gave it to the widow.
