Chapter 138 Getting Rich
Jiang Xinlan waited until Li Lele left before she sighed and asked, "Xiaobai, you don't have anything hidden in your house that shouldn't be hidden, right?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xinbai became alert, "What do you mean? Second sister, what can I hide?"
"Well, I'm really scared. You don't know that a colleague of mine in the same workshop was reported a few days ago for having a capitalist style of living. Then two pairs of gold bracelets and several volumes of Great Unity were found under her bed. She was arrested right away. Isn't that scary?"
Jiang Xinlan was shaking as she spoke. Although she was not at the scene, she knew from the description that this family was in trouble and would probably be doomed.
"Ah, this," Jiang Xinbai couldn't sit still, "Then I do have it. I have a pair of silver bracelets that my mother-in-law just gave me. Does this count?"
"Yes, of course. You don't know those people. If someone reports it, they will rush in and search like bandits. It's OK if they don't find anything. If they do, it's all over. Xiaobai, you'd better hide the silver bracelet."
"Ah, where can I hide this? Oh, why don't I give it to my third brother and ask him to hide it for me? Wasn't he the one who hid those big yellow croakers before?" Jiang Xinbai immediately thought of his third brother and thought this was a good idea.
"That's fine, put it with Third Brother."
At night, Jiang Xinbai and Yang Jinsheng talked about what her second sister said during the day. She couldn't help but feel a little scared, "Jinsheng, do you think someone will come and report us?"
Yang Jinsheng reached out and patted his wife, comforting her: "No, we haven't offended anyone. But we have been keeping a low profile recently and hiding the good things we eat. Some people are just bad at heart." Things like this happen frequently during this period. If you're not careful, you'll be reported. It's really hard to guard against.
"Okay, I'll pay attention." Although Jiang Xinbai sometimes dreamed about these things, she had never really experienced them, so she was naturally a little scared.
…
After get off work the next day, Yang Jinsheng originally wanted to go home directly, but then he remembered what his wife said yesterday and he was a little worried about his mother, so he ran to the staff quarters again.
"Mom, I'm at home!"
"Where else could he be if I'm not at home? Xiaobao Xinbai has already been taken back home." Sun Erni thought that her younger son was here to look for her eldest grandson, so she mentioned it.
"No, Mom," Yang Jinsheng said, looking towards the closed door again, and asked in a low voice, "Is there no one inside?"
Seeing his expression, Sun Erni knew he had something to say, so she lowered her voice and replied, "No, today is your second sister-in-law's father's birthday, and their whole family is over. Tell me what you want to say!"
After hearing this, Yang Jinsheng relaxed instantly. He straightened his back and said, "It's nothing else. Didn't you give Xiaobai a pair of silver bracelets last time? The situation outside has been stricter recently. You have to hide these things well. The same goes for you, mom." He didn't believe that his mother didn't have any hidden treasures, so he still had to remind her.
Sun Erni laughed when she heard this, "You little brat, how could your mother not know? It's a mess outside now, I've already hidden it, don't worry, no one can find it. Oh, and let Xinbai hide it too, if it doesn't work, bring it back and I'll hide it for you."
"That's not necessary, we can hide ourselves. Okay, there's nothing else to do, I'll go back first." Yang Jinsheng said and left.
Just when he walked not far outside the yard, Yang Jinsheng saw from afar a sneaky person walking into the women's restroom. From the back, he knew it was a man. He was furious. Was he trying to peek at people using the restroom?
"Coo, coo, coo," suddenly, there was a sound of pigeons calling next to the public toilet. Yang Jinsheng, who was about to go forward to call for help, stopped. His intuition told him that something was wrong and it might be a gang crime. So he shrank to the corner again, and in the cover of night, he secretly stuck his head out to observe. As long as he saw something wrong, he would call for help.
At this time, a dark figure ran out of the men's restroom, looked around for a moment, and then ran to the women's restroom next door. After a while, two people came out again and ran straight away.
This series of actions confused Yang Jinsheng. This didn't look like he was just peeping at someone using the restroom? Could he have knocked the person unconscious and thrown him into the ladies' room?
A bunch of question marks popped up in Yang Jinsheng's mind. He was wondering whether he should go in and take a look, or just leave and pretend he didn't see it?
But curiosity prompted him to walk towards the public toilet step by step, and before entering, he gently called out, "Is anyone there?"
After a long time, he didn't hear any sound coming out, so he had to bite the bullet and walk in. It was already dark now, and the women's restroom was also dark, with only a hole at the highest point of the wall, through which a little moonlight came. With this little moonlight, Yang Jinsheng looked carefully and found that there was really no one in the women's restroom.
"Oh, I don't know what I ate today, my stomach is so upset!" At this time, two female voices were heard outside the door. Hearing the footsteps getting closer, Yang Jinsheng became anxious and trotted a few steps and hid in the last pit.
"What else can you eat? The food from last night must have gone bad. I told you not to eat it, but you insisted on eating it. Look, you've given me diarrhea too."
The voice sounded more and more familiar. Yang Jinsheng recalled that it seemed to be the eldest and second sisters-in-law of the Zhao family. Now he dared not move. If someone found him here, they would definitely think he was a hooligan. A beating would be considered light, but he was afraid of being sent to jail.
"Puff, puff, ah, it feels good, just let it out." After a rustling sound, he heard them standing up and walking out, but Yang Jinsheng still didn't dare to move. After a few minutes without hearing any movement, he dared to walk out of the pit holding the wall.
Just as he was about to go out, he was suddenly stabbed by something. He quickly put out his hand to block it and squinted his eyes to look at the place where the light came from. It seemed that there was something on the wall?
Unable to resist his curiosity, Yang Jinsheng climbed up the wall that separated the toilet stalls, reached out his hand and soon touched a large bag of things. He slowly jumped down holding the things, and took a look in the moonlight. Wow, the thing that just emitted light was actually a golden hairpin. No wonder!
Yang Jinsheng now understood what the two men were doing. They must have copied it from somewhere and hid it in the toilet because it was not easy to take it home. Thinking of this, Yang Jinsheng looked up again, maybe there was more.
So he climbed up again and felt the partitions on the wall, but there was nothing. Unwilling to give up, Yang Jinsheng remembered that the second black shadow came out of the men's restroom, so he ran to the men's restroom again with the bag in his arms, climbed up and felt around, and sure enough, he touched a bag. Without even checking what it was, he held it in his arms and ran out. Hey, I'm rich! I'm rich!
What Yang Jinsheng didn't know was that five minutes after he left, the two men came back to the public toilet. When they looked inside, they became furious. "Ah, who is it? Who is it?"
