Xue Ran hadn't expected the operation to go so smoothly.
However, it's understandable. Jiang Ying, that old hag, is already in her twilight years and has no children of her own.
If I could exchange this gold for my life, it would be worth it.
Quanshui Village, Huichuan County.
Grandma Jiang directed Xue Ran to open the cellar door, saying, "They're all down there!"
Brother Niu and Brother Ma were somewhat doubtful, "Are they all in the cellar?"
This is so fake!
What's the difference between putting it in the cellar and displaying it in the open?
They reasonably suspected that Grandma Jiang was deceiving them.
Xue Ran also had his suspicions, so he went down the ladder into the cellar to check, but he didn't find a single gold nugget!
He climbed up again, panting heavily, his face covered in dirt, cursing, "Heh heh heh you old hag, heh heh heh there's nothing down there..."
As time ticked by, Xue Yuyu grew anxious, deeply worried that she and her father would not be able to escape.
Upon hearing Xue Ran say that there was no gold in the cellar, he immediately became anxious.
She grabbed Old Mrs. Jiang's shoulder, glaring with bloodshot eyes, and said fiercely, "Tell me quickly! Don't force me to kill you with my own hands!"
Grandma Jiang frowned, "Rude!"
Xue Yuyu was speechless with anger, "You..."
Grandma Jiang said, utterly speechless, "The gold is all piled up in the cellar, couldn't you pry a piece down to take a look? What an idiot!"
Xue Ran immediately went downstairs.
Brother Niu and Brother Ma peered down from the cellar entrance.
The sound of digging bricks could be heard coming from the cellar.
A little while later, Xue Ran climbed up again, holding up a dusty gray brick and showing it to Brother Niu and Brother Ma.
"It's gold! It's gold! They're all gold bricks! We're rich! Waaaaah~"
As she spoke, she suddenly burst into tears.
Niu Ge and Ma Ge ignored him and carefully examined the bricks that had been pried open by the light of their flashlights.
That small area was gleaming with gold!
The two of them felt a little dizzy for a moment.
Then, weigh it in your hand; it's definitely not the weight of an ordinary red brick!
"It really is a gold brick!"
"Hurry up and go down and dig!"
The two immediately climbed down the ladder.
Xue Yuyu did not go down into the cellar; she was responsible for looking after Doctor Gu and Old Madam Jiang.
Three people were below, and three people were above; for a moment, the air became quiet.
"Why would a perfectly normal young girl like you have to become a thief?"
Grandma Jiang felt rather bored, so she decided to chat with Xue Yuyu for a while.
Xue Yuyu gave her a look of disgust. "Hmph! Don't even think about getting close to me!"
"Why are you trying to get close to me? I've already given you all my gold! I just feel like the night is long and I'm a little bored."
Those three idiots down in the cellar, they'll probably be working on it for a while!
Xue Yuyu noticed that Old Madam Jiang seemed completely unconcerned, and even yawned.
This doesn't seem like someone who is being held hostage or coerced at all.
Xue Yuyu remained silent with a cold face, while Old Madam Jiang, on the other hand, was quite talkative these days.
"Hey, I'm telling you, there's a lot of gold in the cellar! You four definitely won't be able to move it before dawn, you'll need to find some help!"
They actually seemed very caring and considerate, as if they were thinking of everyone's best interests.
"hypocritically!"
"Hey, how can this child talk like that?"
Am I wrong?
Xue Yuyu retorted to Jiang Ying, "You have no children, so what are you doing holding so much gold?! Why are you so determined not to give it to my uncle, and even tried to kill him?!"
As she spoke, she sneered, "So what if today? The gold you've treasured and hidden for decades, it still belongs to us, doesn't it?"
Speaking of this, Xue Yuyu felt resentment.
The reason I've ended up like this is all because of Old Lady Jiang!
If it weren't for her, my uncle wouldn't have been arrested for no reason.
Even if the uncle doesn't fall from power, it won't implicate the stepfather, Zhou Yicheng.
Even if Zhou Yicheng retires to the second line, he can still guarantee his lifelong wealth and status!
Thinking of Zhou Yicheng, her stepfather, although he later favored Ning Ruoruo, he was still very good to her.
At least, he's better than her biological father, Xue Ran; he won't force her to do things she doesn't want to do...
In the end, it was all Grandma Jiang's greed that drove her family to this dead end.
Thinking of this, Xue Yuyu glared at Old Madam Jiang twice more.
Looking at her stupid appearance, Jiang Ying was quite certain that the child must have the blood of that bitch Han Cheng.
The same kind of wishful thinking and shamelessness.
Are you cold? Do you want to put on another layer?
Dr. Gu didn't care at all about the verbal sparring between the two; he was only concerned about whether Grandma Jiang would catch a cold.
Early autumn nights are chilly and windy, making it easy to catch a cold.
"I didn't feel it then, but it's actually a bit cold now."
"I'll go inside and get you a warm coat!"
"Alright, bring me that newly made Xiangyun yarn jacket."
Doctor Gu turned to go inside, but Xue Yuyu screamed, "Don't go!"
"What if you go inside and call the police?"
Grandma Jiang looked at her like she was a fool, "If you keep shouting like that, I won't even need to make a phone call to summon all the neighbors!"
Xue Yuyu covered her mouth.
"Besides, didn't you cut all the power lines when you came? How are we supposed to call the police?"
Grandma Jiang was displeased. "I gave you the gold, and now you're going to kick me while I'm at it? You want me to freeze to death!"
"Hmph, this isn't the Xiang family's place. You can hear the neighbors calling out here!"
