Jiang Si saw her third uncle's worries; in fact, she had been thinking about this issue for the past two days since she transmigrated.
That is, what will she do after she gets the treasures they took away?
I definitely can't stay in the Shanghai Stock Exchange anymore.
Although Jiang Si did not experience this era, she had at least watched period dramas such as "Parents' Love" and "Tian Yu".
A young and beautiful capitalist's daughter like her, who also possesses a great deal of wealth, would not fare well whether she stayed in the city or went to the countryside.
So she only had two options: one was to do what her scumbag father did and try to smuggle herself into Hong Kong.
In those days, there were two main ways to get to Hong Kong: by land or by water.
In the book, the scumbag father's family bribed a smuggler, spent a huge sum of money to buy a cargo ship, and then sailed from Guangzhou into the Hong Kong waters.
Even after being paid a large sum of money, the smugglers still harbored malicious intentions while the cargo ship was en route.
If it weren't for his scumbag father bringing several thugs, his whole family would likely have been thrown into the Hong Kong River to feed the fish.
Even after arriving in Hong Kong, life wasn't as easy as I had imagined.
After all, Hong Kong was still dominated by gangs at that time, and not only was the security chaotic, but xenophobia was also very serious.
They are particularly discriminatory towards people who come from mainland China.
However, the female lead has a halo and the male lead, a rich young master, is looking out for her, so she's not afraid.
But Jiang Si couldn't do that; she neither spoke Cantonese nor knew martial arts.
Once you go to Hong Kong, you either live a quiet life in a rented room, or you find a powerful backer.
Otherwise, once you're targeted, you won't even know how you died.
In later generations, she could at best be considered a wealthy person. As for stirring up trouble in Hong Kong, well, let's just forget about it; she knew her own limitations!
In contrast, Jiang Si preferred the second option: after collecting the treasure, she would take a boat from Guangzhou to Qiongzhou Island.
That's right, she's going to find her fiancé—to fulfill their engagement!
Aside from the fact that this marriage was arranged by her mother, Qiongzhou Island was far from the center of power, and even if someone wanted to harm her, Jiang Si believed that he would protect her unconditionally.
In the original book, after learning that the original owner had gone to the countryside, her fiancé immediately rushed from Qiongzhou Island to Heilongjiang Province.
At that time, the original owner was still immersed in the beautiful dream woven by her scumbag father's family. She thought that it wouldn't be long before she would return to Shanghai.
Therefore, the original owner of this body sternly rejected him and threw the betrothal token in his face.
She yelled, "Forget about it! I will never go with you, and I will never marry you! Here, take this piece of trash back. And don't come looking for me again. Our marriage is off!"
"Also, please remember your place!"
Speaking of background, her fiancé's family is actually quite well-off.
His father was the commander-in-chief of the Beijing Military Region, his mother was the deputy head of the General Political Department's Cultural Troupe, and he himself was the head of the 101st Regiment of the 4th Naval Aviation Division.
The reason why the original owner brought up his identity dates back more than 20 years.
Back in the 1940s, the world was still in chaos.
Her fiancé was picked up by Jiang's mother from the roadside. At the time, he was on the verge of death and his body was covered in wounds.
Feeling sorry for him, Jiang's mother took him in and gave him a chance to survive.
After the original owner was born, he became the original owner's little follower.
He carried the bag when the original owner went shopping, and he took the knife for the original owner when she attacked!
It wasn't until he was 11 years old that he saw a missing person notice in the newspaper and finally found his biological parents.
The two families were well-matched, and the two mothers hit it off immediately, so the marriage was arranged.
However, the original owner of this body simply couldn't bring herself to like this man who was eight years older than her and had a cold and arrogant personality.
In addition, her friends teased her, saying that he was her childhood sweetheart.
The original owner was both angry and annoyed. After that, she stopped answering phone calls and replying to letters, and from the bottom of her heart did not want to have anything to do with that man.
Yet this cold-hearted man, who had been jilted by the original owner of the body, once again stormed into Heilongjiang Province after learning that the original owner had been arranged into a ghost marriage.
He dug up the family's ancestral grave and brought back the original body's remains.
Knowing that she did not want to be his wife, he buried her in the Jiang family ancestral cemetery.
The book doesn't mention his ending again, but the female protagonist, Shen Qingqing, only mentions it when she's old.
"I never imagined that someone as sharp-tongued and mean as Jiang Si would actually have someone who treats her with genuine kindness..."
Thinking of this, Jiang Si expressed her thoughts.
"Third Uncle, don't worry about me. After I finish these things, I'm going to Qiongzhou Island."
Third Uncle was stunned, his eyes filled with surprise.
Of course he knew that the Huo family's son was on Qiongzhou Island, but usually Si girl wouldn't even let anyone mention it, so why would she...?
Jiang Si smiled and offered a defense for herself and for the original owner of the body.
“In the past, I was blinded by people and couldn’t distinguish between good and bad. They say you learn from your mistakes.”
"If I don't learn my lesson, wouldn't all the years of teaching you've given me have been for nothing?"
"Third Uncle, don't worry, I won't be confused again."
Seeing that Jiang Si had opened up, Third Uncle also spoke his mind.
"Si girl, I dare not say anything else, but I have seen countless people in my life and I still have a good eye for people."
"That young man from the Huo family is a good guy!"
"He just looks a bit fierce and doesn't talk much, but it's not a big problem."
"Go there and live a good life; that's better than anything else."
"Just one thing, never let yourself be wronged. Just remember, we have the strength and we're not afraid!"
