"A box bigger than two palms put together, and it's a gift for my sister, could it be jewelry?" Liu Feiyue wondered.
"Really?" Dong Cang's eyes lit up.
"The surname is Fu? I don't think there are any wealthy families with the surname Fu in Lanyuan Town," Liu Erxi said after thinking for a moment.
Dong Cang shook his head: "Their family doesn't have much money. My future sister-in-law is the only one who works in the textile factory to support the whole family."
Thinking it over, he changed his mind: "No, no, Fu Lan is rich."
Liu Feiyue slapped him dismissively: "Whether you have money or not, tell me clearly."
“She’s rich, she’s rich! Fu Lan seems to be making clothes for someone and has earned a lot of money. I just saw her buy a lot of things for her family,” Dong Cang said.
"..." Liu Feiyue couldn't help but slap him again, "How much money can you make by making clothes? Do you think I'm stupid?"
Liu Erxi, standing to the side, couldn't help but roll up his sleeves: "He's trying to fool us. Let me teach him a lesson, brother."
Upon hearing the word "clean up," Liu Sanchang immediately perked up, revealing his massive arms, each one as thick as two of Liu Erxi's: "I'll clean up! I'm strong, big brother!"
Dong Cang was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he felt like he was about to faint.
Liu Feiyue slapped both of them away: "I haven't finished speaking yet, what's the rush? Making clothes may not earn much money, but that doesn't mean she doesn't have anything good to give her sister."
Liu Erxi didn't understand: "Where would you get jewelry if you don't have money?"
"Even if you have money, who would dare wear jewelry these days?" Liu Feiyue said, looking at Liu Erxi meaningfully. "Didn't you say she had a good relationship with the old principal's family next door?"
Liu Erxi's eyes lit up: "What you mean, brother?"
Liu Feiyue nodded.
Liu Erxi grinned: "I understand."
Liu Sanchang and Dong Cang looked at each other, bewildered. "..." What did that mean? They didn't understand.
"Anyway, their two families live next door. Once we're done with the villa, we can come back and settle things together." Liu Feiyue already had a plan.
Liu Erxi and Liu Sanchang immediately rubbed their hands together, eager to get started: "Okay, let's do it."
“…But my future sister-in-law’s younger sister doesn’t live here,” Dong Cang said weakly.
Liu Feiyue: "..."
Liu Erxi: "..."
Liu Sanchang: "..."
All three of them turned to look at Dong Cang. They wanted to hit him.
"If she doesn't live here, where does she live?" Liu Feiyue asked.
"I heard it's at the home of a friend surnamed Xing in Xiaogaozhuang," Dong Cang said.
Upon hearing the name "Xiaogaozhuang," Liu Feiyue and the other two involuntarily conjured up the image of the man who killed a wild boar with a single punch, and simultaneously revealed expressions of toothache.
Dong Cang looked at Liu Feiyue with a puzzled expression and asked, "What's wrong, Brother Liu?"
"It's nothing, I'm leaving now, I'm going back to prepare." Liu Feiyue said as he turned and left first. As for Xiao Gaozhuang, he couldn't afford to mess with him.
"They're leaving, they're leaving." Liu Erxi and Liu Sanchang immediately followed.
Dong Cang took two steps forward and asked, "What about Xiao Gaozhuang..."
"We'll see." With that, Liu Feiyue, along with Liu Erxi and Liu Sanchang, quickly disappeared, leaving Dong Cang standing there, bewildered: "When will we say 'we'll see'...?"
That night, in the dead of night, when it was so dark and windy that it was almost impossible to see one's hand in front of one's face, Liu Feiyue, along with Liu Erxi and Liu Sanchang, quietly scaled the wall and entered the old principal's small villa under the cover of darkness.
By now, the small villa had been allocated, with four bedrooms and a study upstairs and downstairs, fully occupied. The yard, which was originally a small garden, had been kept as it was, but the areas where flowers and grass used to be planted had been turned into vegetable gardens, where rows of small green vegetables were growing quite lushly.
Liu Feiyue and his two companions walked around the yard twice with flashlights.
"Where do you think anything would be buried, brother?" Liu Erxi leaned closer to Liu Feiyue and asked in a low voice.
“I think it’s over there,” Liu Sanchang said, pointing to the cobblestone path that ran through the middle of the courtyard.
"Why?" Liu Erxi looked over curiously.
“Didn’t we find it at the last company?” Liu Sanchang said matter-of-factly.
Liu Erxi: "..."
Liu Erxi couldn't help but slap himself. Why did he have to ask him that?
"Why are you being so foolish? Why are you hitting yourself?" Liu Sanchang asked, puzzled.
Liu Erxi: "..." If it weren't for the inappropriate timing, he would have wanted to slap him.
Since Liu Feiyue was formally accepted as a disciple by Lao Chaofeng, he has learned more than just how to appraise treasures.
He walked around the yard thoughtfully twice, carefully observing the entire yard twice with the beam of his flashlight, before fixing his gaze on the vegetable patch on the right: "Dig up what's underneath here."
"Okay!" Liu Erxi and Liu Sanchang agreed in unison and picked up their shovels together.
"Keep your voice down," Liu Feiyue said warily, glancing warily at the dark little villa.
"knew."
After working for two hours, drenched in sweat, they indeed unearthed four camphor wood chests that had been specially waterproofed: one containing antiques, one containing calligraphy and paintings, one containing ancient books, and one containing jewelry and gold and silver.
The three of them couldn't hide their excitement, and they barely managed to hold back all their cheers.
Liu Feiyue coughed lightly and ordered, "Quickly, level the ground, then we'll leave."
Liu Erxi and Liu Sanchang haphazardly leveled the ground, then, together with Liu Feiyue, carried the boxes and quietly left.
The next day, just as dawn was breaking, the quiet little villa was completely awakened by a scream.
Hearing the noise, Old Wu, who lived on the second floor, rubbed her sleepy eyes and opened her door to see what was going on. Suddenly, a burly figure pounced in, pinned her to the ground, and slapped her repeatedly: "So what if I scolded you all day? It's all because you stole my bok choy first! You actually dug up my whole vegetable garden! I'll beat you to death..."
"It wasn't me..." Old Wu's family tried to argue.
They wouldn't listen: "If it's not you, then who is? You're the most despicable person in the whole building..."
A lively day begins in the little villa...
