Jiang Mingyue refused: "I don't want to be an educated youth sent to the countryside. I have my own plans. Don't worry, Dad!"
Jiang Weisong just couldn't believe it!
He had made up his mind. Once he was out of town this time, he would ask his brother-in-law to introduce him to a few young military officers so he could marry her off. He figured he couldn't control her anymore, so he would let men manage her.
Besides, military officers are highly sought after these days. They have good pay, good benefits, and generous allowances. Moreover, external circumstances don't affect them. For his daughter, this is the best choice.
At this time, Jiang Mingyue was unaware of her father's plans.
However, one planned to marry her daughter to a military officer, while the other wanted to marry Gu Weizhou but failed. As a second choice, she decided to become someone's stepmother.
The father and daughter, though their paths diverged, ultimately reached the same destination.
In short, she eventually married a military officer.
Ruan Yunxi held a telescope and observed the movements of the quarrying committee. The telescope was her own collection; all the collections she brought to the military residence this time had been stored in her spatial storage.
This is exactly what came in handy.
Seeing Dean Hu and Mother Jiang coming out of the committee, Ruan Yunxi tidied herself up. This time, she didn't dress so ostentatiously, avoiding the kind of outfit that would immediately reveal her as a capitalist's daughter.
Instead, she changed into something as plain as could be, and her face was smeared with black. The moment she showed her face, it was clear that she was pampered.
After disguising herself, Ruan Yunxi took out a bicycle from her spatial storage. It was a bicycle she had stored in Wang Dawei's courtyard; it didn't look new, and it wouldn't attract attention when ridden.
She quietly followed them.
Dean Hu borrowed a car to come to the committee to bail out the people. After the siblings got in the car, they went straight back to Jiang Mingyue's house.
Ruan Yunxi struggled to pedal her bicycle to keep up, but two wheels couldn't compete with four. Just when Ruan Yunxi was about to release her car from her spatial dimension, she finally saw the jeep military vehicle she was looking for.
It happened to be parked on the side of the road, and it was clearly the car that Dean Hu was driving.
Ruan Yunxi noted down the license plate number.
Jiang's mother told her younger brother to wait a moment, saying she was going to give him something and ask him to find a way to get Jiang Mingyue and her father out.
Dean Hu nodded, sipping his tea as he looked around his brother-in-law and sister's house. The layout was similar to before, and it was clear that it was well-maintained. The house was spotless, and a family photo of the three of them was displayed on the TV cabinet.
It looks like it was taken last year.
While Dean Hu was waiting, Jiang's mother was already digging under the apple tree. She actually found a box. After struggling to open it, she saw a box full of neatly arranged small yellow croakers, which made Jiang's mother's eyes light up.
Besides the small yellow croaker, there was a large box underneath, which seemed to be hiding something else.
If it weren't for her younger brother waiting, Jiang's mother would definitely have gone to find out what was going on.
Following her husband's instructions, she took out ten small yellow croakers and buried the rest back in, trying to make it look like nothing had been buried at all.
When Jiang's mother returned, she was covered in dust and dirt.
Dean Hu joked, "Did they go treasure hunting?"
Jiang's mother was startled: "You were watching me dig?"
Dean Hu: "They really buried it?"
The siblings exchanged a glance and said in unison, "You're not allowed to tell anyone."
"I know nothing."
In short, the siblings planned to play dumb; as long as they didn't say anything, no one would know that their family had really buried a treasure.
"This is for you. Take it and try to get things sorted out. You must get your brother-in-law and niece out," Jiang's mother instructed.
Dean Hu, who had taken ten small yellow croakers, nodded reassuringly: "I'll treat Director Niu to dinner tonight. As long as he's willing to give me this face, this matter will be settled."
Jiang's mother was overjoyed: "Go and make an appointment with them quickly. I'll be waiting for your good news at home."
Dean Hu nodded, the siblings exchanged a few words, and he left with ten gold bars.
Jiang's mother boiled water for a bath. She had been locked up for a day and a night, and she smelled terrible, so she needed a good wash.
Ruan Yunxi watched as Dean Hu drove away, leaving Jiang's mother at home. She knew this was a good opportunity for her to make her move.
They released so much water, wasn't it all to empty Jiang Mingyue's coffers?
