Chapter 36 The Harsh Dark Years



The activity level is already high.

Time was running out, and he couldn't make anything to eat, so he had to eat dinner instead.

After Xu Manzhi had eaten and drunk her fill, she planned to go back to the Jiang family home for a visit.

The Jiang family was very wary of her.

She searched the entire two-story building but couldn't find anything of value.

Jiang Pengyue's room does have quite a few good things.

Pearl necklaces, gold bracelets, gold necklaces, and a bunch of random trinkets, as well as piles of tickets and recorded money.

This is all the little treasury the Jiang family gave her.

She even showed it to the original owner, saying, "All the money here is accounted for. It comes from my parents and three older brothers. I keep a record of how much I spend every day..."

Isn't this treating the original owner of the body like a thief?

Xu Manzhi didn't care about this small amount of money.

She believed that the Jiang family must have a hidden gold mine that outsiders didn't know about, just like Old Chai's.

I hope we can find it.

As soon as she went outside, she saw a Dongfeng truck on the street, with many prisoners being held behind it, each wearing a sign indicating their crime.

Old Chai was prominently listed.

He was drooling and laughing, with an air of arrogance about him.

He was wearing a sign that read "reactionary".

Hmm, not bad.

Xu Manzhi took drastic measures, disrupting some of Lao Chai's brainwaves. As long as he wasn't executed, he could live a carefree life.

She wrapped a stack of evidence of his murders and robberies in oiled paper inside Old Chai's soiled pants.

That was very efficient.

But where are the two murderers from the Jiang family?

Xu Manzhi strolled back to the Jiang family home with leisurely steps.

As soon as she entered, she saw a large group of people standing outside, including the remaining members of the Jiang family, her aunt's family, and an anxious Zhou Xiangqun.

Jiang Pengyue saw her from afar and exclaimed with delight, "Xiang Qun, she's back!"

Zhou Xiangqun saw it too.

He strode towards Xu Manzhi, grabbed her arm in his haste, and said, "Where have you been? I've been looking everywhere for you, I was so worried!"

I haven't seen anyone for a whole day and night.

Zhou Xiangqun was so anxious that he almost called the police and asked them to send someone to look for him.

Jiang Pengyue stopped her immediately.

She repeatedly assured that she was not lost, but that there was no place for her to stay at home, so she was temporarily staying with relatives.

"Don't worry, the police have already issued the lockdown order. Pengyue, things have been going on lately, why don't you come with me for a boat trip in the suburbs? It'll be good for you to get some fresh air," Zhou Xiangqun said.

Jiang Pengyue's heart was pounding.

She hurried forward, forcing a stiff smile: "It's a group of young people going on a trip together. There's a former educated youth settlement over there. We can herd cattle and enjoy the scenery. There are... snakes over there, and we can also dig sweet potatoes..."

Oh.

Is this a big surprise they've been holding back?

Xu Manzhi smiled and said, "Great! I couldn't be happier."
