After dinner, Shen Yao thought about going into the city tomorrow to use up the expiring tickets she had and check out the black market, so she headed towards the captain's house.
Maybe it was because it was dinner time, we didn't meet anyone along the way and arrived at the captain's house smoothly. It was a standard four-room green brick and tile house, a little bigger than the Shen family's yard.
"Uncle, aunt, are you home?" Shen Yao knocked on the door and called a few times outside the courtyard gate.
"Hey, I'm home, come in."
"Yaoyao is here, come in quickly." Shen Qiu ran out in a hurry, opened the gate and pulled Shen Yao into the house.
Shen Yao looked at the family still eating and said embarrassedly, "Uncle, Auntie, I'm sorry to disturb you."
"Yaoyao is here, sit down and have something to eat with us." Shen Guoqing and Xu Dani's voices rang out at the same time.
"No, I've already eaten. I came to my uncle to write a letter of introduction. I want to go to the county town tomorrow to ask about jobs."
Shen Yao felt that work was the best excuse. Otherwise, if she said that, it would definitely make them worry, so she could only tell a little lie.
"Of course, the work needs to be implemented well." Shen Guoqing thought that work was a big deal and it really needed to be implemented as soon as possible. After saying that, he got up and went into the house to get the letter of introduction.
"Uncle, please give me five days. I'm afraid that if something unexpected happens, it will take time to deal with it."
If she had been replied that day, she wouldn't have needed to write the letter of introduction. She just wanted to take this opportunity to visit more places. The time before the New Year was the best time to buy supplies. Plus, it was a difficult time now, with food and supplies shortages everywhere. The prices on the black market were bound to skyrocket, so she couldn't miss it.
"Okay, then let's open it for five days." Shen Guoqing didn't think much about it, and prepared to sign and stamp it.
"Why bother with all that, Yaoyao? Just take these and fill them up when you need them."
Shen Qiu snatched a stack of introduction letters directly from her father's hand, stamped them in a few seconds, and then quickly stuffed them into Shen Yao's hand.
Shen Yao's mouth twitched, she thought this girl's personality was really funny. Is it really okay to cheat her father like this? However, this kind of personality really suits her taste.
"Then uncle and aunt, I'll go back first. Sister Xiaoqiu, I'll bring you food when I come back." Shen Yao said and left quickly. She was just kidding. With so many blank letters of introduction, it would be convenient for her to go anywhere in the future, so the best thing to do now is to run away.
Shen Qiu waved his hand and said, "Okay, Yaoyao, be careful. I'll go to your house to find you when you come back."
Shen Guoqing was angry and helpless, thinking that his daughter was really spoiled. Could he give a letter of introduction like this? "You little bastard, are you really going to betray your own father like this?"
"Come on, Yaoyao is not a stranger. It's just a bunch of introduction letters. Don't forget that the chicken you ate tonight was given by Yaoyao."
Xu Dani glared at Shen Guoqing. Her old man was good in everything, but he became very rigid when it came to official business.
It never ends. It’s so nice to have slim girls. Every time I catch a pheasant, I think of them. This old man doesn’t know how to adapt at all.
"That's right, that's right. It's all thanks to Yaoyao that we can eat meat tonight."
Shen Qiu kept nodding. Her family could eat meat tonight because of Yaoyao. The fat pheasant weighed nearly three pounds without the skin and fur. Her mother stewed a big pot of chicken with potatoes. She gave a big bowl to each of her two brothers and sisters-in-law, and she still had a lot left for herself. So, let alone one stack of introduction letters, she thought two stacks were nothing.
"..." Shen Guoqing, what else can he say? Besides, he probably won't have any dinner tonight.
Here, after Shen Yao left the captain's house, she found that it was already dark. She took out a flashlight from the space and walked back quickly.
She felt chilly when she returned to the house. She couldn't stand sleeping in a cold bed, so she went straight into the space.
Xiao Ling knew Shen Yao had come in, and immediately flew over: "Master, you are done."
Shen Yao hugged Little Phoenix and said, "Well, I just came back from outside. Xiaoling, I'm going to take a hot spring bath first."
After a busy day, she felt a little tired, so she went straight to the hot spring and took a comfortable bath before returning to her room.
Xiao Ling saw his master coming out, floating in the air: "Master, do you want to practice now?"
"No, I'll go check on the things I put into the space yesterday, and then have a good sleep." She had the time, so she decided to go and take a look.
Going to the warehouse where things were stored, looking at the dozens of boxes inside, Shen Yao first opened the box looted from the Ye family.
The first box was full of gold bars, and three bars were missing from the top row. It was estimated that the Ye family's money was exchanged for gold bars. Shen Yao opened the second box, which was also full of gold bars, but this box had not been touched. The third box was full of big yellow croakers, and the rest were one box of jade jewelry, two boxes of calligraphy and paintings, two boxes of porcelain, and several boxes of old items of good quality, as well as more than twenty pieces of scattered gold and silver jewelry.
Shen Yao was cursing countless times in her heart, where on earth did the Ye family steal so many things? These definitely don't belong to the Ye family.
Moreover, she counted the money and found that there were actually 2,400 yuan, all of which were new big black tens, probably from the gold bars she had just exchanged at the bank, and dozens of bills.
No wonder the Ye family is such a lazy bunch. Their house is better built than the captain’s, and they are all as fat as pigs.
Nowadays, a ten-liang gold bar can be exchanged for more than 1,300 yuan in a bank, and his family actually has several large boxes of gold.
However, now that she has taken them all out, let's see how the Ye family will continue to be so arrogant in the future.
Since there were no relevant clues in the original owner's memory, she could only put it aside for now. After she came back from the city, she would ask the old lady if there were any big shots in the village in the past.
Then, Shen Yao opened the boxes of the Shen family. The first ten boxes were all gold bars, and there were two boxes of large yellow croakers, two boxes of small yellow croakers, one box of silver dollars, nine boxes of jewelry, five boxes of rare ancient books, seven boxes of porcelain vases, and eight boxes of calligraphy and paintings. Any one of them would be worth a fortune in a few decades. The last small box contained two bags of diamonds, a bag of gold peanuts, a bag of pearls and several pieces of top-quality jade.
Shen Yao adjusted her mood and couldn't help but admire Grandpa Shen's vision. The old items in his collection were all top-notch. The Shen family usually didn't show off much, and no one would have thought that the Shen family had such a rich fortune.
She put all the cash in a box. Compared with those rich people, the amount she had was just small change. She needed to keep working hard.
Currently, it is still possible to buy a house privately, so she has to work hard to earn money to buy a house. She doesn't want to live on campus when school starts next year. She has her own space. Living in a large dormitory is not convenient at all. She must have her own private space, so that she can be safe.
Afterwards, she lay down on the big soft bed in the room and fell asleep instantly...
