Xia Anyan remained silent. The old man thought she was frightened and patted her on the shoulder: "Yanyan, don't worry, Grandpa will definitely make sure nothing happens to you!"
“But your father… he’s a beast! From now on, he’s neither your father nor my son. If anyone asks, just say you don’t know him.”
Even a biological father and daughter couldn't compete with that mother and her two children; they bought four boat tickets and even transferred their assets in advance.
He has never done anything wrong in his life, so how could he... receive such retribution?
Before Xia Anyan could speak, there was a knock on the door.
Xiao Jingtang arrived here with the Revolutionary Committee members.
"Sir, Miss Xia, I'm so sorry. I've come here to take you back to cooperate with the investigation. I hope you will cooperate obediently."
He had a smile on his face, but the danger in his eyes was clear to everyone.
Grandpa Xia shielded his granddaughter behind him, intending to face the situation himself.
But Xia Anyan stepped forward first, and she was very open and confident, not worried about getting hurt.
"Hello, Chairman Xiao, I am Xia Anyan."
"I'm sorry, my grandfather and I cannot cooperate with your work."
Two sentences were enough to change Xiao Jingtang's expression.
The corners of her smiling mouth also drooped down.
His eyes were cold.
Xia Anyan was not afraid at all: "Chairman Xiao, we have just received the news that Xia Zhengyuan and Zhou Xiuning have been taken away by the Revolutionary Committee. But what I want to say is that my grandfather and I have severed ties with them. If Chairman Xiao does not believe me, you can call the newspaper. It will be in the newspaper first thing tomorrow morning."
"And," she paused, then pulled out several neatly folded sheets of paper from her pocket and showed them to everyone, "my maternal grandfather and my mother were both red capitalists. They donated most of our family's assets to the country."
“My mother passed away early, and my maternal grandfather also left. All the family assets were handed over to Xia Zhengyuan to manage. Before I got married, I had nothing to do with the family’s things. If Chairman Xiao doesn’t believe me, he can ask our neighbors.”
She's not afraid of being investigated; she's afraid they won't investigate.
Xia Zhengyuan will definitely admit that he has put the assets away, but if the items cannot be found, that is a big problem.
Xiao Jingtang looked at the several 'Red Letter Capitalist' certificates issued by the higher authorities. His expression was somewhat unpleasant, but he still waved and left with his men.
After everyone left, Grandpa Xia looked at Xia Anyan in shock: "Yanyan, you..."
Xia Anyan grabbed his arm: "Grandpa, I've grown up now, it's my turn to protect you."
"Grandpa, I remember your household registration is still in the village below, right? I'll have Uncle Li and the others take you back tomorrow. It's not safe here anymore."
Grandpa Xia grasped his granddaughter's hand.
He couldn't bear to part with it.
"Grandpa, didn't I tell you? I've signed up to go to the countryside, and I'll be leaving in the next few days. Once I get there and settle in, I'll write to you and call you."
She will live her own life, definitely!
Grandpa Xia wiped away his tears and nodded in agreement.
Before going to sleep, the old man handed a box he had brought with him on this trip to Xia Anyan.
“Yanyan, these are all gifts your mother gave to Grandpa when she was alive, and also gifts from your B… that beast over the years. Now, Grandpa is giving all of these to you, so you must take good care of yourself.”
Xia Anyan sighed as she watched the old man sobbing uncontrollably.
Grandpa is a good grandpa, but his son is not a good son.
If she didn't trust her grandparents, she would have suspected that she was switched at birth!
Back in her room, Xia Anyan opened the box and saw what was inside.
Besides some house deeds and land deeds, there was also a hand-drawn paper.
The drawing on it is somewhat abstract, winding and twisting, looking like a simple line drawing. But Xia Anyan, who had made so many design drafts and drawn countless line drawings in her previous life, felt that this thing was not simple.
After comparing the land deeds and house deeds with the others, she discovered a shocking secret.
This thing... it's actually a treasure map!
Wow, is her mother that amazing?
...
The next morning, the old man was safely escorted back home, and Old Li went with him back to the countryside.
After everyone left, Xia Anyan locked the door, put all the things in the house into her spatial storage, and walked step by step toward the place with several house deeds.
The first house was very remote, surrounded by weeds. The house itself looked decent, but the inside had already begun to rot.
However, once inside, Xia Anyan easily found the hiding place with the pickaxe.
A basement was filled with countless boxes, all of them brand new and made of 100,000 yuan.
Take it away. Take it away.
The second place has a cellar full of wine that has been stored for at least fifty years, and it's not much different from Moutai and Wuliangye.
The third place contained many pearls, all of them quite large.
The fourth place...
After going around in circles, the space was crammed full of money, gold and silver, countless. From the initial smile to the uncontrollable laughter at the end, heaven knows how much she was holding back.
After finishing these matters, she went to the housing management bureau, received some storage fees, and asked them to be responsible for renting out the house. The annual rent would then be used as storage fees for them.
We'll take the house back when she returns from the countryside.
After doing all that, she got a letter of introduction and boarded the train to the black market.
"Young man, I'm pregnant, could you... give me this position?"
Just as Xia Anyan was about to close her eyes and rest for a while, she was woken up.
Then, she saw a heavily pregnant woman standing in front of her.
Xia Anyan pointed to herself: "Are you talking to me?"
The woman had a bright smile on her face, and even in her dark, thin face, one could see a hint of shrewdness and calculation.
Xia Anyan was so angry she laughed.
"Excuse me, ma'am, this seat is mine. You should go find your own seat."
The pregnant woman's face turned pale; she was clearly angry.
The seemingly kind-hearted man behind her stepped forward and accused Xia Anyan: "What's wrong with you, comrade? My wife is so heavily pregnant, didn't you see? How can you be so heartless?"
"Judging from your attire, you might be a capitalist's daughter. Capitalism, you..."
The man went on and on, hurling accusations at Xia Anyan that were practically slamming her down.
Xia Anyan directly took out her certificate for going to the countryside: "Uncle, please read carefully before you speak. If you can't read, I can read it to you, but if you can't control your mouth, I don't mind reporting you for slandering a good comrade."
“I volunteered to go to the countryside, and the leaders of the educated youth office praised me as a good comrade. Why do you say I have ideological problems? Just because I dress better than you, does that mean I deserve to be bullied by you?”
