She wasn't kept waiting long; the next day, she started staking out Chairman Jiang's house after get off work.
It was completely dark by then, and not a single person had come home.
It seems that group of people succeeded.
Just to be on the safe side, she waited until midnight to make sure no one had returned and there wasn't a soul in sight before she climbed over the wall and went inside.
Chairman Jiang is very low-key; the furnishings in his house are quite ordinary.
Even all his family's assets combined amounted to less than a thousand yuan. His wife and daughters didn't own a single piece of jewelry, and only one or two decent sets of clothes.
If you didn't know who they were, you'd really think this family were all good people, all honest and upright officials.
"Ha! How could that be!"
That person doesn't seem like a good person. He's the chairman of the Brotherhood Committee, and he specializes in confiscating homes and sending people to the countryside. How could he not make money off them?
Tsk, where did you hide it?
Given Chairman Jiang's cautious nature, he would definitely keep everything in a place where he can always see it.
"By the way, doesn't he like to bury things in the yard?" Just like today, that telegraph machine was buried in her backyard.
Right then and there, she took out a hoe from her jade pendant, slung it over her shoulder, and strolled to the backyard.
Let's start digging from the backyard!
After digging a couple of times, she felt it was taking too much time and effort. But then she thought about how she had collected the soil and the box into the jade pendant earlier that day, and thought, "Hmm, I can give it a try."
Next, she kept changing positions, busily collecting and placing soil.
She only realized there was a box mixed in with the soil when she received it under a large camphor tree.
His eyes lit up immediately. "Found it!"
One box, two boxes, three boxes... she collected them with increasing enthusiasm.
Under this big tree, she received a total of twenty-three boxes of stuff.
She ransacked the backyard until she could find nothing left, but she didn't stop there either. The front yard was no exception.
"In the small courtyard, digging and digging and digging~~~"
Humming a little tune, she dug out five more boxes from the vegetable garden in the front yard.
She couldn't find it anywhere else, so she gave up.
Looking at the mess on the ground, she finally felt half of the anger that had been building up in her chest dissipate.
She went back inside and stuffed a stack of letters she had written overnight in Japanese language into various places.
"Hehehe, Old Jiang, get ready for your retribution!"
She was very pleased with her masterpiece, turned around, patted her bottom, and ran away.
After all that fuss, it was already dawn when she ran to the door opposite Chairman Jiang and knocked. Before the person inside woke up and came out cursing and swearing to open the door, she made a hasty escape.
Just then, Old Jiang's gate was wide open, and the yard was a complete mess from being dug up. The neighbor across the street, seeing this, screamed in terror, "Oh no!!! A thief has broken in!!! Help!! A thief!!!"
"What? A thief? Where? There's no thief anywhere!"
Her scream woke up the neighbors, who rushed over.
Others came over with hoes and brooms to help catch the thief.
When they all saw the situation at Chairman Jiang's house, they looked at each other in bewilderment.
They called out several times but received no response. They didn't want to go in, as it would be troublesome if they disturbed the scene or left their footprints.
"What happened?"
"what to do?"
"Call the police?"
"Okay, report it."
So when the police arrived, they found that Chairman Jiang and his family had disappeared.
