Chapter 53 Donating the Stepmother's Property
After doing all this, Shen Zhixia did not return to the Shen family openly, but instead quietly went back through the back door.
Just then, she heard Zhang Mei ask softly, "Has Shen Zhixia returned?"
Shen Jinxiu said, "No, she went to find her fifth maternal grandfather. How could she be that fast?"
"That's fine. Come with me to get something, but don't let anyone see you," Zhang Mei said.
Shen Zhixia's heart skipped a beat.
Judging from Zhang Mei's words, she wanted to take over the property. Over the years, Zhang Mei and Shen's father had been monopolizing the factory left by their mother, making a fortune, and Zhang Mei had also pocketed a lot of the profits.
However, they had already heard rumors by this time, so they had almost sold off all of the Shen family's factories, properties, and land deeds.
It must be said that Shen's father was very astute in his information gathering. A while later, the nationwide movement struck, and many entrepreneurs in China were persecuted. It was only because the Shen family was quick to escape that they were able to continue living a life of luxury in Hong Kong.
But no matter what, they should not betray the original owner and exploit her body to leech off her.
Zhang Mei went inside the house; it seems she hid all her valuables there.
Shen Zhixia originally wanted to follow, but she was afraid of being discovered, so she hid outside.
After a while, Zhang Mei came out carrying two boxes, and Shen Jinxiu was also carrying a lot of things.
Shen Zhixia narrowed her eyes. She didn't know what was inside, but she could transfer the contents of the box into her spatial storage.
Soon, her space was filled with a bunch of small and large yellow croakers, as well as countless gold bars.
Tsk...
Zhang Mei is really rich.
It seems she has made a lot of money over the years, and also embezzled a lot of money.
However, Shen Zhixia quickly put the stones from her spatial storage into Zhang Mei's box.
Just then, Zhang Mei suddenly paused, her expression quite strange.
Shen Jinxiu noticed and asked curiously, "Mom, what's wrong?"
Zhang Mei said, "Did you notice the box suddenly felt lighter?"
Shen Jinxiu: "?"
Zhang Mei was always very good to her; she would give her whatever she wanted. But she never knew that her family was so rich.
Seeing Zhang Mei pack so many things into the box, she felt excited. She knew they were rich, but she didn't know they were this rich!
The thought of living such a good life in Hong Kong made her happy, so she didn't notice anything wrong with the suitcase.
"No, Mom," Shen Jinxiu said innocently.
Zhang Mei realized she was overthinking things. She had personally put the gold bars in there, so there shouldn't be any problems. She must have just imagined it.
She wanted to open it to take a look, but she had a lot of things in her hands, and they were very heavy, so it wasn't very convenient. So she and Shen Jinxiu went outside, where a car was waiting. They put the boxes in the car, and Zhang Mei told Shen Jinxiu to wait in the car before turning around and leaving.
It seems Zhang Mei still has something!
This time, Shen Zhixia was smarter. When Zhang Mei went to pick up the suitcase, she didn't make any move. But when Zhang Mei put the suitcase on the car, she moved all the contents of the suitcase in at once.
Goodness.
Zhang Mei really knows how to hoard things.
The next box contained precious jewelry, antiques, and calligraphy and paintings, all of which were priceless.
She hasn't lived in vain all these years. No matter how well her business is doing, she couldn't possibly earn this much money. Zhang Mei must have embezzled a lot of money!
It seems that most of it is ill-gotten gains.
If someone reports Zhang Mei, they'll be caught red-handed.
However, Shen Zhixia did not intend to report Zhang Mei. She was smart; if she alerted Zhang Mei and she transferred her assets away, that would be bad.
She's going to take all their property and let them experience what it's like to have nothing!
Zhang Mei has now brought a considerable amount of property with her, but who knows if she has even more property elsewhere?
She doesn't intend to keep these assets!
She thought it was dirty.
She's going to donate it all.
Countries in this era are severely short of money, especially those engaged in scientific research. Because scientific research cannot keep up, the treatment of researchers in later countries is poor, and the backwardness of scientific research is why they are overtaken by other countries.
Before transmigrating into the book, Shen Zhixia was a scientific researcher. She knew how difficult it was for those researchers, so she hoped to donate something to them. Although she couldn't offer much wealth, she hoped it would at least make things a little easier for them during this time.
She picked out some items from the space, mostly valuables she had looted from Zhang Mei. In addition, she also picked out a few pieces of famous jewelry she found in the Shen family's basement. These items were very representative and could represent the Shen family.
She plans to keep some of the more eye-catching antique paintings and calligraphy in the space.
These things will be labeled as capitalism in the future, and she doesn't want to cause any trouble.
Of course, these things have nothing to do with the Shen family; they were all donated in her personal name.
She roughly calculated that these items were of very high value, enough to allow researchers to conduct research at a cost in a short period of time.
Even with such a large donation, it's just a drop in the ocean for Shen Zhixia.
She is still very rich.
Actually, her most valuable possessions are her calligraphy, paintings, antiques, and some jade pieces. She doesn't know much about jade, but the jade in her spatial storage is of such high quality that it's in no way inferior to the jade bracelet she wears. However, jade and antiques from prosperous times are truly priceless treasures; any piece of calligraphy or painting she casually takes out is probably worth tens of millions.
But we can't sell them now, it's too dangerous. We should store them for now and talk about it later. Anyway, these things get more valuable the longer they're stored.
With that in mind, she hailed a car, loaded the boxes into it, and headed to the research institute.
Throughout the process, she remained very low-key, but she wasn't afraid of being discovered.
When they arrived at the research institute, she gave the driver some money and asked him to help carry the boxes to the institute. The driver had no idea that the boxes contained valuable items, and he said with a smile, "Comrade, do you work at a research institute? What's in here? It's so heavy."
Shen Zhixia smiled and said, "It's a very valuable item."
She knocked on the door of the institute director's office.
In the office, an elderly man with gray hair was writing something with his head down. Hearing the sound, he saw Shen Zhixia bringing in the boxes outside and asked, "Is there something you need?"
Shen Zhixia opened the boxes one by one: "Dean, I want to make a donation."
The dean stared at the boxes of jewels and gold, nearly blinded by their sheer size. He stood up abruptly, exclaiming incredulously, "What did you say?"
