Chapter 70 Dean Hu's Secret (1/2)



Ruan Yunxi didn't want to empty Jiang Mingyue's house this time.

Afraid of attracting attention.

After all, Wang Dawei's house had just been emptied not long ago.

If news spreads that Jiang Mingyue's house has been emptied, people will inevitably suspect her.

Besides, she didn't care about the junk in Jiang Mingyue's house.

She only collects valuable items, such as gold and silver jewelry, large and small yellow croakers, antiques and cultural relics, anything worth more than fifty yuan.

Ruan Yunxi silently repeated it three times in her mind, and then there was a movement from the other side of the space.

Ruan Yunxi immediately went to check the space and was surprised to find that Jiang Mingyue's family was also quite well-off, with a whole box of small yellow croakers, which she estimated to be fifty or sixty pieces.

There was a large box underneath. When Ruan Yunxi opened it, she found it contained large yellow croakers, about a hundred of them.

Jiang Mingyue's family must have been landlords or wealthy people in the past.

Regardless of what they did before, Ruan Yunxi accepted all the items: large yellow croaker, small yellow croaker, watches, televisions, radios, fans, and old-fashioned bicycles.

There were also several boxes of ceramic ornaments hidden in the cellar, as well as enamel porcelain vases, which were obviously old items.

Finally, they also found an official's hat and court robes.

Ruan Yunxi guessed that Jiang Mingyue's ancestors must have been officials, otherwise they wouldn't have collected this item.

Anyway, now that it's her space, it belongs to her.

As long as Ruan Yunxi doesn't take it out, no one else will know whose official robe it is.

There was also a stack of grain coupons and money, as well as Jiang Weisong's savings book.

Ruan Yunxi glanced at it; there was about a thousand yuan inside.

Having a passbook is useless; you need a household registration book to withdraw money.

Ruan Yunxi then put Jiang Weisong's household registration book into her space. After withdrawing the money, she burned the household registration book and told him to reissue it himself.

These days, it's very troublesome to replace a household registration booklet.

Besides these, there are also Jiang Mingyue's private collection, including her gold lock and gold bracelet, which look like they were given to her by her elders when she was a child and now belong to Ruan Yunxi.

When needed in the future, I'll melt it all down to avoid being discovered as her gold lock and gold bracelet.

Having accepted the valuables, Ruan Yunxi left swiftly to avoid being discovered and having her suspected when the Jiang family was exposed for theft.

After leaving safely, Ruan Yunxi was not in a hurry to return to her family compound. She left a letter for Gu Weizhou, saying that she would stay in the city for one night.

As expected, Dean Hu invited Director Niu to dinner that evening. When they were almost finished eating and drinking, he slipped ten small yellow croakers to him and said, "Please be lenient with me. If anyone asks, just say he was sent to a labor camp. They'll just ask and won't investigate too thoroughly."

If it weren't for the small yellow croaker, Director Niu wouldn't have nodded: "Larger or smaller?"

Dean Hu thought he had misheard: "Not put them both together?"

Director Niu smiled enigmatically: "I remember when your brother-in-law was fishing for your niece, he gave Wang Dawei ten small yellow croakers. How come they're worthless to me?"

Dean Hu has something he's unsure whether he should say.

Since things had already come to this, what could he do? He could only bite the bullet and say, "Director Niu, calm down. I'll go back and discuss it with my sister. We'll give you two extra ones, how does that sound?"

Director Niu made an outrageous demand: "Now it's fifteen small yellow croakers per person to release them. Go back and discuss it. If you're unwilling, I'll let them stay in the cowshed at the forest farm for a few more days."

Dean Hu wanted to kill someone.

Director Niu knew that their family had some money to spare, and with such a good opportunity, wouldn't it be a waste not to squeeze more out of them?

Things weren't going well, but Dean Hu still kept him company with meals and drinks, taking good care of Director Niu. After sending him home, he kicked the car a few times in anger before finally driving to the Jiang family's house to tell them about Director Niu's exorbitant demands.

Jiang's mother was furious and scolded, "This is outrageous! How can he be so greedy? Ten sticks are not enough, he wants fifteen sticks per person! Where would we get so many?"
