Chapter 4: Clearing out the Jiang Family
After eating at the state-owned restaurant, Jiang Ruoxi returned home and entered the space to see if there was any recipe for making aphrodisiacs. Finally, she found a basic aphrodisiac powder made from datura flowers and black grass powder.
Due to the lack of materials, Jiang Ruoxi went straight to the pharmacy after leaving the space to buy raw materials. In order to avoid suspicion, she went to two pharmacies to buy them.
After buying the ingredients, Jiang Ruoxi went home and entered the space, mixing them into powder according to the recipe. However, she didn't know how effective it would be, so she decided to test it on the Jiang family members in the evening.
It's nine o'clock in the evening, the night is dark and windy, it's a perfect time to do bad things. Jiang Ruoxi found herself a set of relatively tight, dark, and inconspicuous clothes, put them on, and went straight to Jiang Da's house. Arriving at the door of the Jiang family, Jiang Ruoxi observed carefully, put on gloves, took out a hard card that had been placed in the space in advance, slid it down along the crack of the door, and the old wooden door opened. The gaps in wooden doors at that time were relatively large, so thieves would use plastic cards, cardboard or other similar items to insert into the gap between the door and the door frame, slide them down to the lock tongue, push open the unlocked lock tongue, and thus open the door. This is the kind of wooden door that Jiang Daguo used.
Jiang Ruoxi quickly pushed the door open, closed it behind her, tiptoed to the room of Jiang Daguo and his wife, gently pushed the door open a crack, and seeing that Jiang Daguo and his wife were sleeping soundly, she blew some sleeping pills into the door through the crack. Then she tiptoed to Jiang Lan and Jiang Feng's room, blew the sleeping pills there, and then returned to Jiang Daguo's room, opened the secret compartment under the bed, and transferred everything in the secret compartment into the space. She knew that the things that were taken away were enough to make Jiang Daguo feel distressed for a long time, and this was only the first step in her revenge plan. Next, she will use the materials in the space to improve her life, and at the same time slowly expose the ugly faces of the Jiang family members, making them pay the price for bullying her.
After doing all this, Jiang Ruoxi quietly left and returned to her home. Early the next morning, Jiang Daguo woke up feeling weak all over and thought he was sick. Just as he was about to ask Liu Cuilan to go to the steel plant to ask for leave for him, he heard Liu Cuilan muttering: Why did I sleep so tired last night? I have no strength at all.
When Jiang Daguo heard this, he quickly knocked on Jiang Feng and Jiang Lan's door to wake them up. Seeing them coming out yawning, he hurriedly asked them, "Are you feeling strong?" Hearing Jiang Daguo's question, the brother and sister were stunned for a moment. Jiang Feng said, "Dad, I feel weak!" When Jiang Lan heard Jiang Feng say that he felt weak, she also panicked and told Jiang Daguo that she felt weak too.
When Jiang Daguo heard this, he knew something might have happened. He quickly calmed down and said to Jiang Feng, "Xiaofeng, go to the factory and ask for a day off for me and your mother. We'll talk when you come back!"
"Okay, Dad, I'll be there in a minute." Jiang Feng responded.
After explaining everything, Jiang Daguo returned to the room and asked Liu Cuilan to watch at the door. After Liu Cuilan left, Jiang Daguo opened the secret compartment under the bed and saw that it was empty. Jiang Daguo sat on the ground and muttered to himself: "It's over, it's over, it's all over!" Hearing the noise in the room, Liu Cuilan hurriedly pushed the door open and asked: "What's wrong? What happened, old man?"
"Lost, Xiao Huangyu, both the account book and the money are lost!" Jiang Daguo said with a sad face.
"What? They're all lost? Did you remember the wrong place?" Liu Cuilan said in disbelief.
"If I remember correctly, I watched it the day before yesterday!"
"What should we do? This is all our family's belongings. Almost no one in our family has left. How could it be gone?" Liu Cuilan cried.
"Stop crying. Someone stole our things last night. Our whole family felt weak this morning. Someone must have drugged us. Who did this?" Jiang Daguo said impatiently.
"Oh! What should I do?" Liu Cuilan was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. She twisted her hands tightly together, her brows were wrinkled into a knot, and she kept muttering to herself: "What should I do now? I really have no idea at all!" Her originally bright eyes were now filled with anxiety and helplessness, as if they had lost their luster.
At this time, Jiang Feng also came back from the factory after asking for leave. Jiang Daguo called Jiang Feng into the house and told him about this. Jiang Feng wanted to call the police, but Jiang Daguo refused because there were shameful things inside and he couldn't call the police. He could only swallow the loss temporarily and then slowly find out who stole it. Or who ordered it.
On the other side, Jiang Ruoxi was checking the account book she brought back from the Jiang family. The account book recorded the names of people Jiang Daguo had bribed over the years, as well as the amount of bribes. Jiang Ruoxi did a simple calculation and found that the amount of money Jiang Daguo had bribed over the years was about 10,000 yuan. In that era of food and clothing shortages, how much money had to be embezzled to give out 10,000 yuan!
Jiang Ruoxi decided to hand in the account book before she joined the army, or she could ask Lu Tingxiao to hand it in.
