After speaking, he gave Bai Laosi and Bai Yajing a sharp look.
Old Master Bai sighed. What was bound to happen had finally happened, but fortunately, he had been mentally prepared.
"Gentlemen, all my family property has been handed over, and for the past ten years or so, my Bai family has been committed to donating money and grain to support the country's fight against the Japanese pirates!"
My Bai family has been classified as "red capitalists" by the state. We still have the certificates and donation receipts.
Now let me tell you about my good-for-nothing children and their family. They got scared because of some baseless rumors and gossip... so they secretly ran off with the money I had saved for my retirement. I only found out where they went today from what you told me!
Furthermore, I was so angry that I published a notice in the newspaper two weeks ago severing ties with them!
As he spoke, Bai Yajing cooperated by showing them all the evidence.
The group of people looked at each other in bewilderment.
They arrived indignant and furious, but now, looking at what they had in their hands, they were speechless...
The total amount on those donation certificates was truly astonishing. And the assets handed over were also staggering…
If they insist on arresting them and taking them back for interrogation and investigation, it would be too disheartening for those who have rendered meritorious service!
What will those who have also donated money and grain think? What will those who are preparing to donate think? Besides, the main purpose of coming here today is to get them to hand over their family property.
Since they have already handed them over honestly, it doesn't matter whether we take the person with us or not.
Bai Yajing could see their intentions and breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the old man had prepared all the possible escape routes.
Moreover, these people, who seem like hotheads and troublemakers, are surprisingly reasonable.
"Alright, we understand the situation. We thank you for your contributions to the country. The country will not forget you. Keep all the things safe."
However... you can't live in this house alone anymore. Resources are scarce right now, and many people have nowhere to stay. So tomorrow, craftsmen will come to help remodel the layout of this house, and then people will be arranged to move in.
You...prepare yourselves mentally and choose a courtyard to stay in.
The three of them, including Old Master Bai, knew in their hearts that this would be the outcome.
"Okay, okay, thank you all for your understanding and suggestions. We all understand that everyone is working for the future prosperity of our country, so we will cooperate fully!"
Just then, the people who had searched the courtyard returned, carrying nothing of value, since Bai Yajing had already emptied the house of all its valuables.
This is precisely to avoid such a scenario.
Upon seeing this, the leader's expression softened completely. It seemed they really hadn't kept anything behind.
"Good, not bad! Old Master Bai, you all have a high level of awareness. Since there's nothing else, we'll take our leave now."
"Alright, alright, take care."
Bai Yajing closed the door and let out a big sigh of relief.
"Thank goodness, the people I met were all reasonable."
Old Master Bai shook his head and sighed repeatedly, "This is just the beginning! The initial intention of that policy was very good."
These people are all passionate young people, and at this moment their hearts are full of love for the country. But who can say what the future holds?
Don't underestimate human nature. Next time, we won't get away so easily. Sigh!
Old ginger is spicier; he's seen it all and of course he wouldn't naively think that this matter could just pass by like that.
This is why, even though the Qin family had a way out, they still wanted to scheme against the Bai family for an extra layer of protection so they could retreat back to their hometown.
