At that moment, Xiao Weiguo realized that Fu Xiaolian now seemed like a completely different person compared to the Fu Xiaolian he had met a year ago.
Although only her upper body was visible, it was clear that her clothing and makeup were completely different from those of Fu Xiaolian, who originally lived in the village.
From a man's perspective, she is indeed much prettier than before, although she is not Xiao Weiguo's type.
No wonder she managed to seduce Alex, who took the initiative to approach her; this woman is quite attractive.
It's no wonder Xiao Feng is acting strangely; he's had his love stolen away.
Thinking about this, Xiao Weiguo found it somewhat amusing; this family had gotten themselves into a complete mess.
If word gets back to the village, I don't know if Xiao Changsuo will still have the face to live.
"Let's go, Jiao Bai, let's go back."
The matter has been clarified, and there is no need to stay any longer.
Now, Xiao Weiguo is almost certain that the three items belonging to Grandpa Shang were obtained from Shang County by Xiao Feng and Fu Xiaolian, but how they obtained them is still unknown.
Then Xiao Feng and Fu Xiaolian set up a scheme to use these items to get more benefits from Alex.
Unexpectedly, Fu Xiaolian, who got herself involved, has now become Alex's prey.
Now, Xiao Feng doesn't know what he's thinking.
The more Xiao Weiguo thought about it, the funnier and more dramatic the whole thing seemed.
In fact, Xiao Weiguo's guess was completely correct.
The story begins more than six months ago.
After being kicked out, Xiao Feng and Fu Xiaolian went to the county town and, posing as husband and wife, rented a small house and lived a shameless life.
At first, they had some money on them, since they were in charge of the money in both families when they were at home.
They didn't have to work in the city, and they ate and drank well every day. The two of them lived a very comfortable life.
But their good fortune didn't last long. Both of them were lazy and unwilling to work, so neither wanted to find a job to make a living. No matter how much money they had, it wasn't enough for them to squander.
They had been living off their savings for less than two months when they reached the point of destitution, and even eating became a problem.
With the end of the year approaching, families are unable to return home, have no money, and are facing hunger and cold outside. What can they do?
Later, Xiao Feng thought of Xiao Weiguo. Among the villagers living in the city, he was the richest. He drove around in a big car every day, putting on airs. Xiao Feng got angry just thinking about it.
Thus, an evil thought arose in Xiao Feng's mind.
You think you're rich? Well, I'll take advantage of the fact that no one's home and rob your house clean, so you can be all cocky.
This would solve his immediate problem, and he could also take the opportunity to retaliate against Xiao Weiguo.
This can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
Having made up his mind, he discussed it with Fu Xiaolian and received her support.
So the two of them would sneak up to Xiao Wei's house every day, hoping to find a chance to pull off a big heist when no one was around.
Who knew that at that time, Xiao Wei's family was very busy, and the children were not in school. Xiao Shanshan, Liu Ye, Grandma, Xiao Jiang, and Xiao Yue were almost always at home, so they couldn't find an opportunity to make a move.
For several days in a row, they wandered around in front of Xiao Wei's house and accidentally discovered that the house next door to Xiao Wei's house had been locked every day and no one had come back.
So the two of them discussed it and decided that since they couldn't steal from Xiao Wei's country, they would try this place first, maybe there would be a surprise?
Even though they were lucky, it was inconvenient for Grandpa Shang to be alone during the New Year, so he stayed at his son's house. This place has always been very safe, and no one has ever heard of anyone being robbed, so there was no need for any precautions.
So one night, while Fu Xiaolian was keeping watch, Xiao Feng climbed over the wall and ransacked Grandpa Shang's house.
The old man didn't seem to be short of money; there were over two thousand yuan under the cabinet, along with several small, tightly wrapped boxes. They looked quite valuable.
Since he was already there, there was no reason to let him go, so he didn't even open the package and just took the whole thing from Old Master Shang, which almost broke Old Master Shang's heart.
Money wasn't the main concern; it was these family heirlooms he had planned to pass on to his son before he died. Now everything was gone. After a serious illness, this place became a place of sorrow for him. Later, he even sold the courtyard to Xiao Weiguo, never wanting to return.
When Xiao Feng and Fu Xiaolian went back to see, they were so happy they almost jumped for joy.
Two thousand yuan was enough for them to splurge for a while. When they opened the small boxes, they found two exquisite fans and an antique-style scroll inside.
Although they knew nothing about antiques, judging from their appearance and the value they had acquired from their owner, they could tell that these items were probably not ordinary.
Fearing being caught, the two discussed it and decided to take a train overnight and secretly flee to the provincial capital.
After arriving in the provincial capital, the two of them lived a carefree life for a while with the money, until they finally ran out of money again. Spending without earning anything, what could two thousand yuan possibly do?
Having no other option, they turned their attention to those few items.
So Xiao Feng picked out a fan from among them and went to the cultural market at the foot of Hero Mountain.
This market has existed for a long time and is a well-known antique trading place in Jiaonan.
The main business includes books and periodicals, antiques and calligraphy, rare stones and jade, flower and root carvings, craft ceramics, writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstones and other supplies.
(Author's note: The Hero Mountain Cultural Market initially formed spontaneously from a morning market, around 1985. This market was originally located in the New World Shopping Mall on Ma'anshan Road, and later moved to the northern hillside of Hero Mountain. Just understand that this is for the sake of the story; please, those of you who are so knowledgeable, don't try to argue with me that this market didn't exist in 1987—I've already given up.)
