Ye Ran no longer gets as agitated as before when she sees Xu Qingyan's face.
She no longer cares about Xu Qingyan as much. If it weren't for wanting to take revenge for the hatred from her past life, she probably wouldn't even think about him anymore.
So she said casually, "That's just the kind of person he was. In his previous life, not long after he got into university, Xu Di was married off to an old butcher for the two hundred yuan dowry that butcher gave her."
Logically speaking, the Xu family shouldn't be short of two hundred yuan at all, and Wei Jinlian treated her daughter quite well; otherwise, she wouldn't have developed such a temperament...
However, Wei Jinlian ultimately did not stop the marriage, and it is said that Xu Di was frequently beaten after marrying into the family.
But when she returned for help, no one paid her any attention. I don't believe Xu Qingyan wasn't involved.
Ye Ran had no sympathy for Xu Di. Xu Di was never someone to be trifled with, and even though she married someone like that in her previous life, it didn't diminish her fierceness at all.
On the contrary, it's getting worse. She often bullies people weaker than her. This kind of person deserves retribution and doesn't deserve anyone's sympathy. Ye Ran nudged Lu Yi, "Alright, judging from what they're saying, Xu Qiang, Wei Jinlian, and Xu Xiaocao should have all gone to work and haven't come back yet."
Xu Yue recently got married, and these two have left, so there should be no one left in their family now.
Let's get down to business first... It wouldn't be good if Xu Xiaocao sneaked back early..."
Lu Yi nodded, and the two of them quietly made their way to a corner using the surrounding walls. There was a large vegetable garden there, but it was divided into two parts by a fence, one of which belonged to the Xu family.
This vegetable garden is directly connected to the Xu family's backyard. In order to occupy more land, Xu Qiang demolished the backyard wall, leaving only the vegetable garden fence to enclose the vegetable garden and the backyard together.
"It's right here. Wei Jinlian is particularly fond of taking advantage of small things, so she made a crack in the fence here and often sneaked out to steal vegetables from the neighbor's house."
We can squeeze in from here, and then go directly to the storeroom from the backyard.
Lu Yi deftly moved the loose section of the fence, and the two of them slipped into the Xu family's house...
Upon reaching the door of the storage room, Ye Ran looked around to confirm the situation and whispered, "The Xu family really is deserted. Let's hurry up!"
Lu Yi examined the lock on the door, then took out a wire from somewhere, poked it into the keyhole, and after a few twists, opened it...
Ye Ran watched his smooth and effortless movements in amazement. "Even though I was mentally prepared, I still think it's amazing!"
How did you develop such skill?
On the way down from Banyun Mountain, Lu Yi told Ye Ran about some of his little strengths and skills, including his ability to pick locks.
At the time, Ye Ran was secretly laughing at Lu Yi's appearance, so she didn't pay much attention. However, after dreaming about the Xu family's basement, she immediately remembered Lu Yi's skill...
After all... anything useful can be considered a skill... right?
Lu Yi proudly waved the wire in his hand, "Hmph, back in the day my dad used to lock me up in solitary confinement all the time. If I didn't have this kind of skill, wouldn't I have been locked up like an idiot for so long?"
Ye Ran asked curiously, "Does your dad often put you in solitary confinement?"
Lu Yi said without changing his expression, "Yes! It's all because he's being too unreasonable!"
The locks my dad used to lock me were way better than this one; I didn't care about those, so this one is a piece of cake..."
With that, he got up and went into the storage room.
Ye Ran watched his upright back, her lips twitching slightly. Even something as simple as picking locks is so easy for him; you must have brought this on yourself, right? And what's with all this talk about Dad being unreasonable…
But Ye Ran didn't expose him. She quickly closed the door and followed Lu Yi inside...
