After a while, the man came back and found that half of the floor space was empty. The boxes wrapped in oilcloth and waterproof cloth that were piled up on the other side were exposed. At a glance, half of the 80-square-meter space was filled with the gold bricks that Lin Weiwan had taken away.
Half of the boxes were neatly stacked to the top, each box could hold enough space for two adults.
There was another object placed against the wall. To save time in case the Zhou family suddenly came back, Lin Weiwan quickly put nearly a hundred boxes into the space, cleaned up all the dust on the ground, quickly returned to the ground, closed all the stone doors, and even dug up the soil in the rockery back to its original state. He stuck his head out to confirm that no one was there and quickly went back to the house.
When he returned to his room, he found that the space could not be opened again, but Lin Weiwan was not in a hurry.
Taking out a bamboo basket and a basket from the back kitchen, Lin Weiwan prepared to pick all the peaches from the tree, half to eat and the other half to make dried peaches.
The rice jar and noodles at home were empty. Lin Weiwan didn't eat much when she was alone. After the Zhou family came, they ate up all the rice in the past two days.
Lin Weiwan looked at the things in the kitchen that were almost ready. Now the Zhou family had less than a thousand yuan in cash.
Just Zhou Weibei's surgery will cost a lot of money. I wonder what the Zhou family's expressions will be like when the time comes.
Lin Weiwan happily picked peaches from the tree and picked all the red peaches.
The harder ones were placed at the bottom of the basket, and the ripe ones were placed on top. After a while, half of the peaches on the tree were picked by Lin Weiwan.
"Thank you, you've worked hard." Lin Weiwan leaned against the tree and patted the peach tree. This tree was planted the year Lin Weiwan came to the Lin family. There were no flowers or plants planted in the entire Lin family yard except for a vegetable plot.
The girl in a white dress leaned against the tree, whispering softly to the tree. The mottled sunlight shone through the leaves onto the girl's face, and time seemed to stand still.
There are six fruit trees in the front and back yards of the Lin family. They were all planted by Mr. Lin and Lin Weiwan himself.
There is a cinnamon tree in front of the window in the front yard. Every time the cinnamon trees are ripe, Lin Weiwan likes to pick them and put them in the room as natural aromatherapy.
In addition to the oak tree in the front yard, there are peach trees, apricot trees, loquat trees, pear trees and a longan tree in the backyard.
Even if the old man didn't say it, Lin Weiwan knew the meaning of his planting trees. The Lin family has always had a sparse population, and now that they are here and the situation is turbulent, not even a single descendant can be left.
This lush fruit tree not only allows Lin Weiwan to enjoy the fruits in every season, but also fulfills Mr. Lin’s expectations.
After moving the peaches back to the kitchen, Lin Weiwan took the packed box from upstairs and put it on her wrist. She carried the box out of the yard, walked to the next door, and knocked on it.
"You're late, come in quickly." Liu Huifang saw a girl at the door holding a basket of bright red peaches.
"Aunt Fang, I'm here to bring you some peaches." Lin Weiwan handed the box to Liu Huifang.
Liu Huifang took the basket and put it aside, looked around, and then pulled Lin Weiwan into the house.
"Take it tonight, tell your auntie if you've been bullied." Liu Huifang had been keeping an eye on the Zhou family since they came, fearing that Miss Xiao had been bullied.
"Auntie, I'm fine. I'm not bullied. Don't worry." Lin Weiwan couldn't help but get closer to Liu Huifang when he saw her. They had been neighbors for so many years, and Liu Huifang had taken care of him like her own daughter.
When the Zhou family came, Liu Huifang was the first to object to her becoming a relative of the Zhou family. However, the fool herself was kicked on the head by a donkey at that time, and she invited the wolf into the house.
"You, remember, don't endure anything. If you are bullied, tell your aunt and chase them away. Keep your things to yourself and don't let them cheat you." Liu Huifang warned Lin Weiwan worriedly.
Lin Weiwan's eyes turned slightly red and she couldn't help but hugged Liu Huifang's waist and buried her head in Liu Huifang's chest. Muffled sounds came from Liu Huifang's chest.
"Aunt Huifang." Lin Weiwan felt warm in her heart. In her previous life, Aunt Liu had always been against the Zhou family moving in as relatives, fearing that Lin Weiwan would be bullied.
"Auntie, can I keep this with you for safekeeping temporarily?" Lin Weiwan handed the box in his hand to Aunt Huifang.
Liu Huifang saw the box that Lin Weiwan handed to her, looked around, closed the door, and pulled Lin Weiwan into the house.
"What happened to you tonight? Tell aunt and she will take care of it for you." Liu Huifang looked up at Lin Weiwan and lifted her sleeves to check. She felt relieved when she saw no injuries.
"Auntie, the Zhou family has been acting strange these days. They want you to give up your job. Zhou Weibei, the eldest son of the Zhou family, seems to be ill, and old man Zhou actually wants you to give his kidney to Zhou Weibei." Lin Weiwan said with a frown.
"What..." Liu Huifang jumped up from the sofa, and her voice became louder.
"Xiaofang, what's wrong?" Old Master Qin came down from upstairs, followed by a taller figure.
Lin Weiwan stood up and looked towards the stairs. The man behind Old Master Qin seemed to be nearly 1.89 meters tall, with long and powerful legs wrapped in black pants. Every step he took on the stairs was full of strength and beauty.
The dark eyes on his handsome and charming face were deep and far-reaching, and his thin lips were tightly pursed, which seemed to make people fall into him at a glance. Wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses made him look more elegant and gentlemanly, but less evil.
Lin Weiwan glanced at him and turned to look at Old Master Qin, no longer looking at this man. I have to say this is a top-notch guy.
"Dad, Weiwan is here." Liu Huifang saw her father-in-law coming upstairs, and took Lin Weiwan to walk towards Mr. Qin.
"Grandpa Qin." Lin Weiwan looked at Grandpa Qin with a smile and called him sweetly.
"You haven't been with me for a while, come and visit the grandson of my old comrade, Ye Jibai."
"Xiaobai, this is the little girl from the Lin family, Lin Weiwan."
"Hello, Comrade Ye." Lin Weiwan greeted him lightly and did not move closer to the man.
"Hello, Comrade Lin." Ye Jibai's voice was hoarse and cold.
The four of them sat in the living room, their faces looking somewhat heavy.
"What are your plans for tonight?" Old Man Qin looked at Miss Xiao.
"Master Qin, I definitely don't agree with what they said, but I have some doubts about the relationship between the Zhou family and you. If there is a chance, I will try to find out. I hope this box of things can be kept with you for the time being. After all, there are too many people at home now and they are gossipy."
Lin Weiwan didn't say anything unpleasant, but a few people understood the meaning of his words. Now that the wolf has been invited into the room, Lin Weiwan wants to leave a backup plan for himself.
"Don't worry, just leave the things with Grandpa Qin. I'll find a way to find someone to help you investigate the Zhou family's affairs. You just live a stable life, and I'll notify you when there's any news." Grandpa Qin's words brought a big smile to Lin Weiwan's face.
