But even with such caution, when the heavy rain turned into a drizzle, Dong Yunrong still ran to Zhou's house and found Zhou Xiang, "Where's Ling Ran?"
Seeing her anxious look, Zhou Xiang asked, "Aunt Ling, what happened?"
"Oh my! Someone in the north end said there's a treasure in that shabby house Ling Ran bought."
"Who said that?" Zhou Xiang narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Your Aunt Huang told me that almost everyone in East and West Street knew about it, and some people were even going to see it with umbrellas! I rushed over right away. If there's any treasure here, it should be yours!"
Zhou wanted to stand up, "Don't worry, Ling Ran is in that shabby house at the north end. I'll take you there."
She called out to Lu Jin outside, and Lu Jin quickly ran over from the South Building, "Sister-in-law."
"Hurry up and drive to the north end. Call everyone along. There's trouble going on in the north end."
"yes."
As soon as Dong Yunrong and Zhou Xiang got in the car, it started up and went up the slope at the river head. Lu Jin shouted to the single dormitory: "Assemble!"
"yes."
"yes."
…
Nine people quickly opened the door of the dormitory and stood out.
"Leave three of you to watch over the park and the Zhou family, and the rest of you run to the dilapidated house that's being demolished, east of the blacksmith shop at the north end."
"yes!"
"yes!"
…
The car drove out of the front yard and arrived at the blacksmith shop at the north end in a few minutes. The dilapidated house was already surrounded by people. Zhou wanted Lu Jin to take care of Dong Yunrong, and she ran towards the crowd.
After being reminded by Zhou Xiang, Ling Ran urged Chen and his son to work faster. When the wall became shorter, he put away the ladder and asked Uncle Chen to clean the base of the west wall so that the thickness of the wall could not be seen.
He quickened the pace of his hands, not caring whether the gold bricks would be scratched or not. Later, he simply jumped over the wall, stood in the alley which was only 50 centimeters wide and kicked it. He would "collect" it after kicking the wall down, no matter whether it was a gold brick or adobe brick. If the news got out, the people in the market town would really start a scramble to get it.
Just as he finished collecting all of this and hadn't finished dealing with the base of the wall, he heard a lot of footsteps coming this way. Ling Ran stood up and said, "Uncle Chen, deal with this."
"yes."
After opening the broken door, Ling Ran looked at a group of townspeople holding umbrellas. He smiled coldly, "Are you here to help me?"
When everyone saw Ling Ran's sneer, they became a little more sober, but when they saw him covered in mud, they became suspicious again.
Someone asked, "Ling Ran, why are you demolishing the house in such a rainy day?"
"I'm happy to! What's it to you? Did I demolish your house?"
The man was choked and stopped asking questions.
Someone else asked, "I heard you were looking for treasure, right?"
Ling Ran snorted coldly, "Heard? Who told you that? Even if I'm looking for treasure, I'm looking for the ones in my house. What the hell does it have to do with you? You all wish gold bricks would fall from the sky. Look up, if you don't hide, the gold bricks will kill you. The person who asked you to pick up the gold bricks will pick them up from you. It's safe and no one will know."
The man was furious. "Why are you talking so much nonsense? If it is, it is. If it is not, it is not. It's a simple matter, but you are beating around the bush."
"That's right, is there a treasure hidden in it?"
"Yes, everyone, hurry in and take a look! Don't get diverted."
"That's right! If there's a treasure, we should share it with everyone. This belongs to Old Zhao's family, not yours."
"Yes, it's not yours."
At this moment, Zhou Xiang walked to the back of the crowd and asked, "Really? Since it belongs to Old Zhao's family, how come it has become divided among everyone?"
The man who said this turned around and saw Zhou Xiang coming. He became even more convinced that there was a treasure in the house. Otherwise, why would he mobilize so many people?
"Of course, now that the only descendant of the Zhao family is gone, whoever sees the things gets a share."
"Oh? The house I bought, you and I can share it? Why? Because you're so shameless?
"The guy next door, come out! Stop hiding. What on earth did you trick everyone into coming here for? Come out and tell us!"
As Zhou Xiang approached, he saw an eye in the crack of the door on the east side.
The door on the east side opened a little, revealing a fat face, and then the door was opened completely, revealing the face of the neighbor Lao Zhang, who pushed the owner of the fat face out of the house.
"Ling Ran, I'm sorry. My wife was just making random guesses when she saw you staying in this house all day."
One day? Zhou thought, haha, this neighbor is quite sinister. If he wants to cause trouble, don't blame me.
Zhou Xiang shook his head. "No, you're wrong. She was just making wild guesses, and you were still at home. Don't forget what you signed at the notary office. It's not easy to sign your name."
Then, Zhou Xiang recited the contents of the agreement and asked, "Neighbor Zhang, am I correct in reciting it?"
Old Zhang was sweating profusely, "No, that's right."
"You relied on that agreement, and seeing Ling Ran staying here to help, you made unwarranted assumptions and tried to take advantage of the situation. You incited everyone to be greedy. Do you know that if everyone rushed into my house, it would be mine, right? Neighbor Zhang."
Lao Zhang nodded repeatedly, "It's yours, it's yours."
"Since this is my house, it belongs to my private property. I can tear it down however I want, I can pry it open however I want. This is my freedom, my right, but!"
Zhou Xiang paused, his expression turning cold. "But, anyone who dares to break in without my permission is trespassing, understand? Trespassing is illegal."
If everyone really rushed in, and I'm not even talking about trespassing, let me ask you this: in this kind of weather and muddy water, if someone slipped and fell to the ground, would you, determined to grab the treasure, be kind enough to pull them up? Would you?
Definitely not. Not only that, you might even step on that person one after another. Think about it, can that person still be alive? Even if he is alive, can he still be healthy?
If this person dies or becomes disabled, who do you blame? Me? Don't forget you came to my territory to rob me. You came to steal something. If you get hurt while doing it, do you blame the person you robbed for not giving up the item?
If anyone dares to say that, I will immediately bring people to rob your house. Do you believe it?
I tell you, if you really break into my house and dare to touch a brick or a piece of wood, I will sue you for robbery, and no one here will be left out.
Breaking into a house and robbing it, if anyone gets hurt, you'll all be in trouble. Read more! Reading makes you wise. Reading makes you sensible. Reading gives you reason and rationality, and you won't be foolish enough to be instigated by others.
Even if you point out who instigated you, you are still accomplices, but your punishment is slightly less severe than that of the person who instructed you.
You all only grow taller but not smarter. What did my family rely on to get ahead? Are you blind? Can't you see?
Everyone here, since you dare to come here and rob me, from now on, you, including your family and children, are not allowed to participate in anything I do here. This includes my park, which will not be open to you or your family."
Everyone lost their temper, they were so frustrated by Zhou Xiang's criticism that they didn't know if they had a baby or not, and all future benefits were cut off. They were also overwhelmed by the thought of "having a baby".
