Chapter 242 Lu Ting’s Sadness



So it is said that good people do not live long but evil deeds will last for thousands of years. The reason why these bad guys are so domineering is because the big guys above them are in power.

"Let's go quickly. When Huo has accumulated more treasures, we can take them all at once."

"Yan Yan is right."

Maybe it was New Year’s Eve, or maybe it was because it was too late, there was no one on the street, not even a dog. They ended up going back the same way they came.

After returning home, the two of them slept on the big kang with their children. Lu Ting was extremely excited to receive so many treasures.

"Not only did they cause trouble, they also killed all the dogs in the city. This actually made things easier for us."

Those people are really crazy. They don't know what the dogs did to them, but they actually killed all the dogs and ate their meat. They said raising dogs is a capitalist behavior, which is simply nonsense.

"Did they also kill Grandpa's rhubarb?"

"All the dogs in the village were captured and killed together for meat."

When Su Yan heard this, she couldn't help but feel like vomiting. How could her own dog eat this? In her previous life, she had a Corgi named Potato, so she naturally couldn't stand hearing about killing dogs for meat.

"You'll see, there will be all sorts of weird reasons for not letting us do this or that."

"For example..."

"For example, regarding hair styles, lesbians can't perm their hair, and gay men have to cut their hair short. For example, lesbians can't wear pointed rocket shoes."

"What are rocket shoes?"

"Pointed leather shoes and high heels, etc., and no Hong Kong-style clothes, no makeup or overly trendy clothes...etc."

"Yan Yan, I'm sorry for having to trouble you these past few years."

"Why should we feel wronged? Anyway, we wear what everyone else wears, and we eat the same. We have our own space anyway, so when we get hungry, we can go back and have a bite to eat."

"Don't feel wronged. We all go through this. Lu Ting, just be patient. If you really can't stand those people or things, just think about me and the child."

"Okay, I'll endure it, and I'll go with the flow so that no one can find fault with me."

"Don't get into conflict with them. We still have to rely on them to collect all kinds of treasures. Just think of it as a way for yourself and the country."

There is nothing wrong in helping the country and getting rich at the same time. It is better than having the national treasures shipped abroad by those people.

"Now, many people have heard the news and are fleeing abroad. We can go and stake out those fleeing capitalists. Maybe we can find some treasures left behind in their houses."

Indeed, some capitalists thought that if they hid the treasures they could not take away, they could still live a rich and prosperous life when they came back after the situation stabilized.

Since we are looking for bargains, of course we pick up whatever we can find, no matter who left it behind.

"Well, that's a good idea. These past few years have been the time for us to make our mark. So, we need to keep a low profile so we don't attract attention. Let's quietly make a fortune together."

After being persuaded by Su Yan, Lu Ting finally came to his senses. They could not change the overall situation, but they could change themselves. The most important thing they should do now is to protect themselves and live well.

"Yan Yan, I see that there are several old scholars in the public toilet nearby. They have trouble eating and sleeping. Can we secretly send them some food?"

"Who are they?"

"I heard they were all from the education department. They used to be prominent figures, but I never expected they would end up living in public toilets."

"Go ahead and help if you want to. Anyway, do good things secretly and don't let anyone find out."

Anyway, they are not doing this for fame or fortune, but just hope that some big figures can survive this catastrophe.

There's so much food and Chinese medicine in this space, sending them a little wouldn't be a big deal. A family that accumulates good will surely be blessed. It's always right to do more good deeds. They'll secretly help those who need help, and they'll never bring trouble upon themselves if they shouldn't.

Even though they went to bed at 2 a.m. last night, they still woke up at 7 a.m. Children slept in during Chinese New Year because it was cold, but adults had no reason to sleep in.

A new year is a new beginning. After Lu Ting figured out those things, he felt much more energetic.

The family greeted each other and said hello. After that, Su Yan reminded them, "Mom and Dad, remember not to say auspicious words when you go out to pay New Year's greetings."

Hua Min was puzzled, "Why?"

Su Yan whispered: "Feudal, superstitious..."

Lu Fengnian then remembered that it was forbidden to post couplets and set off firecrackers during the Chinese New Year, so he definitely could not say the New Year's greetings anymore.

"Comrade Xiaoyan is reminding us to be more careful in what we say and do in the future."

Lu Jin looked at Lu Fengnian curiously, "Dad, why do you call your sister-in-law comrade?"

"From now on, call each other like this. It doesn't matter what you call each other in your own room, but when you're out in public with your family, it's best to add the word 'comrade' to the name. Then, we may not be relatives anymore, but we will be good comrades who are equal..."

Seeing her father-in-law's righteous face exaggerating, Su Yan couldn't help laughing, "Well, father-in-law is right, everyone is equal, and everyone should strive to be a good comrade."

Lu Ting smiled and shook his head. This world was really crazy, and everyone was crazy with it.

Hua Min said nervously, "Then why don't we just forget about it this time and not go back to the countryside to celebrate the New Year."

"Mom, this is not called New Year's greetings, this is called visiting relatives at my mother's home."

"Yes, yes, this is not called New Year's greetings."

The family gathered together to eat dumplings. After eating dumplings, Lu Ting took Lu Yiming and Lu Yilan to play with paper airplanes. Su Yan went back to her room and entered the space to study the big treasures she had stolen last night.

There was nothing fancy about the gold, so they were all collected together in a mahogany box, and the vases and porcelains were all placed on the antique display cabinet in the villa.

She threw all the fake items on the antique display cabinet back into the warehouse. Maybe she could make another great move next time.

Oh, and don't the recycling stations have damaged artifacts? I'd pick some up and leave them for later use as replacements. There's nothing better than them.

The ancient books were placed on the bookshelf in the guest room, and the calligraphy and painting brushes, inkstones, and jade pens were put back in the small storeroom. After packing up the treasures, Su Yan washed her hands and went to the flower garden to tend to the precious seedlings.

At nine o'clock in the evening, Lu Ting took more than ten kilograms of ordinary rice from Su Yan's space and sneaked out through the back door.

I came back empty-handed around ten o'clock. I thought that the good things I did secretly would make me feel better, but who knew that I would feel even more depressed after coming back from the public toilet.

"Comrade Lu Ting, what happened?"

Lu Ting's eyes were red as he choked up, "How could those people be so cruel? They didn't even spare a sixty-year-old man. You have no idea how miserable those people are. Not only were their homes doused in excrement, but those heartless people also beat them up and left them there to die."

Su Yan hugged Lu Ting and patted him gently, "Relax a little, all the bad things will pass."

"Yan Yan, will it really pass?"

"Yes, trust me, everything will be over."

"Hey, I hope those guys can survive this."

After this incident, Lu Ting understood a truth even more clearly: he must be careful in everything he does and pay more attention to his words and actions. If he accidentally says the wrong thing, it may bring disaster to his family.
