"I didn't mean to pry into your affairs. I heard Yu Lei asking someone about you one time, and he told me this..."
Pei Ziqiu gritted his teeth and continued to tell the whole story: "To tell you the truth, my grandfather did have a more important fortune, and when I left, I already knew where it was placed."
"As the saying goes, a cunning rabbit has three burrows. This last thing my grandfather did was all our family fortune. He told me... to try my best to survive and one day find this last fortune."
"If I am the only bloodline left in the family at that time, he and my father don't need me to do anything to make a comeback or bring honor to the family. They just hope... that I can live a good life and have enough food and clothing."
She choked with sobs, but her voice was firm: "But if they are all gone, what do I need so much money for?"
"Can they be exchanged for my relatives? No, those things that others are eager to possess, I want to take them in exchange for the lives of my eldest brother and my younger brother!"
When Lian Xiaomin heard this, the hairs on her body stood up. She was really shocked by the girl in front of her.
Needless to say, at this moment, I could immediately understand the other party's intention.
I admired in my heart that Pei Ziqiu was such an intelligent and insightful person!
"Do you want me to rescue your elder brother and younger brother?" Seeing this, Lian Xiaomin asked in the most direct way.
"That's right! I am willing to give all the remaining money of the Pei family to you. There are three boxes of gold bars, one box of jewelry, one hundred thousand US dollars in cash, and thirty thousand for the Great Unity."
"I know that my grandparents, parents, and grandparents are all in prison. There is no way out. It is unknown whether my two cousins can survive..."
"But my eldest brother and younger brother were sent to the farm. Before they are killed, there may be a chance that they can be rescued."
"Xiao Min, I only ask you, can you find some powerful helpers to go to Yungang Farm and rescue the people? Of course, I will tell you where the money is in advance, and you can take it and then go to rescue the people, but time is quite tight..."
Lian Xiaomin heard this and said, "Do you trust me so much? In fact, we have only been friends for four or five months. Do you really know my abilities?"
"What if I take the money first but can't save the person?"
Pei Ziqiu sighed and said, "No matter what, I am betting everything on you! As long as you agree to take action, success or failure is up to fate, and I will accept it."
"I believe in you. If you agree, I will do my best. This is also a risky thing. As long as you agree to do it, all the money will be yours. If you lie to me, I will admit it!"
"Anyway, my grandfather left all his wealth to me. This is my decision, and I can afford it."
"My eldest brother and my youngest brother are already dead. If they are gone, it will be hard for the elders to survive. I... I am also prepared."
She would rather bet on Lian Xiaomin, and like her grandfather, she would rather die than believe that Hu Yixun would really let the two brothers go after getting the money.
Now, the decision-making power has been handed over to the other party. After saying everything, Pei Ziqiu's expression was unusually calm. He just stared at the person in front of him without saying anything.
Lian Xiaomin's mind had already been turned over a thousand times, and she quickly planned a more meticulous plan.
She needs to do more, make a more careful plan, and also plan a chess game for her future.
After thinking for a moment, she finally said, "Okay, I agree."
A burst of surprise replaced the sadness on his face.
Pei Ziqiu was so excited that he grabbed the man's arm and asked, "Really?"
Seeing the other party nod seriously, she finally let out a deep breath and was about to tell him where the Pei family's money was hidden.
Lian Xiaomin added: "However, I have one request. You have to go with me, and you can't let anyone know that we are going together."
"My excuse might be to take advantage of the slack season in the farm to go back to my hometown in Jiang Province and pay respects to my deceased parents and uncles and aunts."
Pei Ziqiu thought about it and felt a little embarrassed. She was an educated youth, and unlike others, it was impossible for her to apply for leave and get a letter of introduction to return home.
The little girl gritted her teeth and said, "I understand. I don't care about that. I will just pretend to be missing and pretend that I fell off the cliff. If big brother and little brother can't rescue me, I don't need to come back to explain."
"If it goes smoothly, we can figure out a solution then!"
She thought to herself that maybe this matter was too big, and there was some reason why Xiaomin had to let her go with her and take her to get the treasure.
Or maybe there were other unpredictable intentions, which she couldn't guess, but intuitively, she really couldn't feel that if the other party had any ill intentions towards her.
Of course, human minds are unpredictable, as is the case with Hu Yixun.
But she no longer has anything to lose!
With the belief that they are not afraid of death, such desperate people will not look back as long as there is a glimmer of hope.
The matter at hand was urgent, and for her, Lian Xiaomin was the only suitable candidate.
………………………………
Before the sun set, the two walked out of the house together.
They have agreed to set out in three days.
Although Pei Ziqiu had to face new risks and challenges, at this moment, her body and mind were more relaxed than ever before.
Lian Xiaomin put a mine watermelon in a backpack and went to her aunt's house to pick up two children to take home for dinner.
Li Xianghai and Zhang Dacui haven't returned from work yet, so Yufang has to go to the pigpen to feed the pigs.
Qiuping was the only one at home, looking after a bunch of little kids.
Xiaofeng and Xiaofu were squatting under the big locust tree in the yard, playing with ants on the ground with branches.
When they saw their sister coming back, they stood up together, rushed over, and each hugged one of her thighs, calling out "Jie Jie ~ Jie Jie ~" over and over again, trying to see who could be louder.
The chattering of the kids made Lian Xiaomin's head hurt.
"You two just played with ants and touched my pants. Go wash your hands!"
She put the bamboo basket on the kitchen side, then scooped two scoops of cold water from the water tank into the basin to wash the hands of the two naughty little ones.
"Xiaomin, what is this?"
Xiaofeng washed her hands first, then opened her round eyes and stared at the big watermelon beside her.
"This is a landmine watermelon. Hasn't Xiaofeng ever eaten it?"
Xiaofeng tilted her head, thought for a moment, pursed her lips, and shook her head.
"Xiao Feng Jie Jie, the watermelon is so sweet and red, so good~"
Xiaofu hadn't finished washing yet, but he turned his neck and talked to the dazed little girl.
