At eight o'clock in the evening, before going to bed, Lian Xiaomin taught the children how to brush their teeth.
I also gave them a few toothbrushes and toothpaste, and asked Hehua and Lanlan to supervise everyone to brush their teeth well every morning and evening.
Lanlan understood it immediately. She said she knew it when she was a child.
Lian Xiaomin thought, since their parents are educated, the children they teach will definitely know these things, alas.
After the five kids had all laid down to sleep, Lian Xiaomin saw that the candle in Yunlai's room had not been blown out yet, so she went over to talk to him.
She took the small wooden box and asked Yunlai to count how many small gold ingots were in it.
Yunlai looked different in new clothes. He looked really handsome in a round-necked black sweater.
He has the temperament of a cool kid. Kids of this era are more precocious, let alone Yunlai who has experienced so many ups and downs.
With those eyes, perhaps even high school students in his previous life were not as mature as him.
"There are 57 in total, and Meng Laohei took three. Damn it!"
Lian Xiaomin weighed it and found that a small ingot was about 200 grams.
The current price of gold on the black market in Dahua is about eight yuan per gram.
Each small gold ingot here is worth 1,600 yuan.
She took out a small cloth bag and poured out all the scattered money inside and piled it on the kang mat.
"This is what I found in Meng Laohei's room. I took everything. There are about 2,000 yuan, and a lot of money. He must have exchanged them on the black market."
Yunlai opened his eyes wide. Why did his sister always do things that surprised him?
She... is so beautiful, could she be a fairy?
Lian Xiaomin doesn’t wear a mask anymore. I can’t wear a mask even when eating. Forget it.
"Sister, you've given so many things to everyone, and the money for the supplies has to come from here. I'll give you two gold ingots first, and you can save the rest for me."
Lian Xiaomin smiled and said, "Okay, when you need money in the future, you can get it from me, and I can convert it directly into cash for you then."
Yunlai only kept 500 yuan in cash and the bills, and the rest was kept by Lian Xiaomin.
"I heard them all call you Sister Jiang. Is your last name really Jiang? Then I'll also have the last name Jiang, okay?"
"Xiao Jiang is my alias. My last name is Lian. I can tell you my identity later, not now."
"Also, you can't tell anyone anything about me, especially Qiao San and the people in the black market. Don't work in the black market anymore."
Yunlai nodded seriously: "I understand. I won't tell anyone. In the future, when Qiao San and Jin Dou ask me why you came to me, I will say that I am running errands for you and finding out something for you. If I have some clues, you will be anxious to know."
"…My younger brothers and sisters are too young, so I can’t tell them…I’ll just be called ‘Lian Yunlai’ from now on~"
What a smart kid.
If you can study hard and develop well, you will definitely have a good future.
"What was your last name? How come your parents and family members are gone?"
Yun told some stories about his family.
His original surname was Du. When he was a child, his mother fell seriously ill and had to go to the hospital for surgery. She might even have to go to the provincial capital for treatment, which cost a lot of money.
His father then secretly dug out the gold ingots left by his ancestors, wanting to take the risk to exchange them for money and use them to treat his wife's medical treatment.
Originally, this wooden box was buried under my grandfather's dilapidated house. My grandparents were long gone and the house had collapsed.
Unexpectedly, when Yunlai's father went there to dig something, he was discovered by Meng Laohei from the village. He followed him secretly and found out that the box was moved to Yunlai's yard and buried.
In addition to the sixty gold ingots, there was also some money left by the old man in the box. Yunlai's father took out the money first and used it, but the gold ingots were not touched.
Unexpectedly, Yunlai's mother's condition worsened and she died suddenly. His father became anxious and also fell ill and died soon after.
Before he died, Yunlai's father told these things to his eldest son, who was less than nine years old.
I told him to take good care of my three-year-old brother. The box of gold ingots contained sixty in total and was buried underground next to the chicken coop in our yard.
Xiao Yunlai remembered everything and used the remaining money in the family to ask the villagers to hold a funeral for his parents so that they could rest in peace.
Unexpectedly, the family's treasure had actually leaked out long ago and was targeted by Meng Laohei.
Later, this guy found a way to send the two children away.
He climbed into the yard and dug around, finally finding the wooden box and stealing it.
When Yunlai returned home, he saw the yard was in a mess.
There was only a hole left where the small wooden box should have been buried, and I understood everything.
He really didn't know how anyone could have discovered it.
This matter really had nothing to do with him. It was his father who moved the treasure, which caused trouble and leaked the news.
Later, Meng Laohei, relying on the fact that he was a village cadre and a tractor driver for the production team, tried every means to threaten the two children and drove them away.
Yunlai already understood that he must have stolen something from his family.
He had less than a hundred yuan left and was wandering around with his three-year-old brother.
If I didn’t have this money, I would have died of hunger and cold long ago.
This is how he spent the next three years.
After listening to his experience, Lian Xiaomin couldn't help but sigh. The two helpless children must have been bullied by the evil people.
However, she did not let Meng Laohei and Meng Guang go.
In line with the principle that a hero never leaves empty-handed, today I just arrived at the back room of his house and took away the money hidden on the beam while using my mental power to monitor him.
Not only that, she also left some "little gifts" on the beams of the brothers' houses.
There were just some feudal, capitalist, and revisionist books, and there was a pistol placed in front of each person.
There are also a few pages of black-and-white Japanese-style architectural albums that were turned out in the space.
Humph, if this doesn't cost you your lives, you'll have to spend ten or twenty years in prison.
There are plenty of pistols in the space. Pick out two of the most worn ones, which were used by bandits in the past. They won’t be wasted if they are used as stolen goods.
She planned to go to the county pigeon committee tomorrow to submit an anonymous letter of accusation, and send several more letters to various leaders and the Public Security Bureau as well.
When the time comes, we can just go to the Meng family in Tumenzi Village and search, and our mission will be accomplished.
I guarantee that the bad guys will be punished, and the revenge will be taken.
The two chatted until nine o'clock. Lian Xiaomin asked Yunlai to rest early and have a good sleep. He had been hit on the head with a stick and had been cold and hungry for two days and two nights. He needed to take good care of himself.
Don’t get any disease at such a young age.
She also took a few picture books, a Xinhua Dictionary that she had bought at the bookstore earlier, a few notebooks, and a bundle of pencils.
Instead of being bored at home, you might as well learn to read, otherwise you will be bored.
Seeing the boy so happy after receiving the book, I told him to go to bed first and read it tomorrow.
Lian Xiaomin returned to her room, locked the door, and slipped into the space.
I also have to take a look at the few smaller ones in the space.
