Unearthing Treasures from Old Houses



Huo Beian rode his bicycle, with Song Ning sitting behind him.

He couldn't help but praise, "Wife, I must say, you were quite impressive just now. I'm so lucky to have married you."

Song Ning couldn't help but playfully pinch his waist, saying, "We should fight for what we deserve. We can't let the second son's family bully us."

"I don't care. As long as I'm with you, that's enough."

When they arrived at the Song family's door, Huo Beian stopped his bicycle, his face grave.

"By the way, honey, I have something to tell you."

He extended his long, slender fingers and grasped Song Ning's hand. "Wife, I received an urgent telegram last night. I have an urgent mission. I'll leave tonight. If I really can't make it back in time, what do you think about our wedding? Should we postpone it or proceed as planned the day after tomorrow?"

"It's okay, no need to postpone." Song Ning frowned slightly, then relaxed.

She had to hurry up and get the wedding done before Song Daqiang ran away.

We need to get the wedding done before the Youth League Office comes to urge us to go to the countryside.

She can't wait.

"Really? Thank you, honey."

After saying that, Huo Beian pulled her into his arms.

"My dear wife, marrying you is the greatest happiness of my life."

Song Ning pressed her face against his chest, feeling his warm chest and strong heartbeat, and felt very safe.

"I'll wait for you to come back."

"good."

Huo Beian reluctantly let her go, kissed her on the forehead, and then rode away on his bicycle.

On the other side...

Lin Peng will start preparing the tools tonight.

He first bought a shovel, a hoe, and a hammer, and also borrowed a tricycle and several bags, preparing to set off for the Song family's old house under cover of darkness. He was going to make a big splash.

As a result, just as he was about to leave, Song Xue stopped him.

"Uncle, what are you going to do in the middle of the night?"

Lin Peng felt a little guilty and smiled, "Xiaoxue, I'm just taking advantage of the cool evening to go to the countryside to collect some firewood."

"Why would you need a shovel, hoe, and hammer to gather firewood? I'm afraid Uncle isn't looking for firewood, but treasure."

Song Xue looked at him suspiciously. She was reborn, so she naturally knew the plot of her previous life. Her uncle dug three feet into the ground and found the Song family's secret base, and emptied all the treasures.

She remembered where the secret base was.

This time, she came to Lin Peng to discuss cooperation.

"Of course. Some firewood might be in the ground; we'll have to dig it up."

Lin Peng felt a little guilty, wondering if Song Xue knew something.

He thought to himself that he must not let anyone else know about this treasure hunt. Even Song Xue and Lin Xiuzhi should not know, because the more people who know, the more they will get a share.

"Then I'll go with my uncle. Perfect timing, I've eaten too much and want to get some exercise."

After saying that, Song Xue sat down on the tricycle without any hesitation.

"you……"

Lin Peng was immediately angry, but he had no choice but to tell the whole story.

"Alright, Xiaoxue, I won't hide it from you anymore. I'm going to the Song family's old house to find treasure. Do you know where the secret base is?"

Song Xue laughed, "Uncle, you've come to the right person. I actually do know."

Lin Peng laughed, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go."

...

Inside the Song family's house.

Song Daqiang was busy discussing with Lin Xiuzhi what dowry to give Song Ning for her wedding.

Lin Xiuzhi said irritably, "We've already given her tens of thousands of yuan, which is equivalent to her dowry. There's no need to give her any more."

"But outsiders don't know that I'm giving her money, so she has to give me some dowry, otherwise it wouldn't make sense."

Just then, Song Ning returned. She overheard their conversation and pushed the door open to enter.

"Father, don't worry, I don't want much. How about this? I only want the pair of Tang tri-colored vases in the living room of our old house as part of my dowry. What do you say?"

Song Daqiang thought to himself that he had already sold the pair of Tang tri-colored pottery pieces long ago, and what was in the living room of the old house now was just a fake. However, Song Ning didn't recognize them, so she probably couldn't tell that they were fakes.

"Sure, no problem."

"We're getting married the day after tomorrow, Dad. Could you please go to the old house tonight and bring the vase?"

Song Ning thought to herself that Lin Peng was probably already ransacking the old house by now, and her scumbag father's arrival would be just in time.

"Alright. Father will go right away."

Song Daqiang thought to himself that he had already planned to go to the Song family's old house tonight to look into the secret base, so he readily agreed, "Okay. I'll go right away."

After saying that, he called out to Old Li and drove towards the old house.

Song Ning smiled, knowing the show was about to begin.

She glanced at the clock; it was now pointing to ten o'clock.

In another two hours, we can close the net.

At this moment, Song Ning noticed that Song Xue was not home, so she asked, "Aunt Lin, where did Song Xue go?"

"She went out and said she had something to do."

Song Ning was suspicious, wondering where Song Xue had gone.

...

The Song family's old residence.

Lin Peng and Song Xue stood at the door.

Although he didn't have a key, Lin Peng grabbed a sledgehammer and smashed the door open with a few blows.

Once inside, Lin Peng ransacked each room.

Song Xue took a shovel and went to the backyard, intending to find the secret room based on her memories from her previous life.

Lin Peng went to the living room first. There, he saw many antique vases, calligraphy and paintings.

He kept muttering, "I'm rich! I'm rich!"

He then took all these things and put them into a sack.

Little did they know, the antique vases and paintings displayed in the living room were all fakes. The genuine articles had long been sold or pawned by Song Daqiang.
