Chapter 18: So Much Unity
"Don't."
"don't want."
Tang Shengkai and Lin Cuicui said in unison, both with anxious expressions on their faces and fear in their eyes.
Lin Cuicui had already helped Tang Shengkai to a place not far from Tang Yue. "Yueyue, be good, come here and let Daddy open it. Daddy is very strong."
Tang Yue smiled. "Dad, it's okay. This box is safe. I can feel it."
As he spoke, he opened the box with a click. It was probably made of plastic, but Tang Yue hadn't figured out what kind of material it was. It just felt thick and sturdy.
As soon as the box was opened, the contents immediately appeared before the eyes of several people.
Tang Shengkai and Lin Cuicui had already come to Tang Yue's side. When Tang Yue reached out to pull the box, the two rushed over quickly.
At this moment, Tang Shengkai's heavy breathing echoed in the courtyard.
Inside were several heavy cloth bags. Tang Yue opened them and found small, pointed objects. She picked one up and examined it, a puzzled look on her face.
"Dad, what is this?"
Tang Shengkai was shocked when he saw it, his voice trembling. He hadn't expected it to be this thing. "This, this is a bullet."
"bullet?"
Tang Yue'er was delighted. Isn't this a good thing? She happened to have hidden two of the spy's guns, and it seemed that these bullets would be useful.
But she didn't have time to get up and grab her gun. She picked up six or seven round objects and examined them carefully. "Dad, what is this?"
Tang Shengkai was now even more nervous. "Yueyue, don't move. Don't pull the ring. This is a grenade, very dangerous."
"Grenade."
Tang Yue looked confused. This was another word she had never heard of before. "Oh, Dad, what is this for?"
"If this thing explodes, our house and the mountain behind it will be reduced to ruins." Tang Shengkai was still frightened.
Tang Yue's eyes widened. This was quite impressive. It was comparable to a full-strength attack from a sixth or seventh level Qi training cultivator.
How on earth did these people do it? It's quite impressive. Tang Yue's eyes were filled with excitement.
"Dad, with these things, it will be easier for us to kill the devils."
Tang Shengkai looked at his daughter's eager face and was speechless. Did this child know that she was only four years old? And why did he feel that his daughter was, well, quite violent?
Tang Yue ignored Tang Shengkai's expression, walked to the firewood pile not far from the door, found a spot, and stuffed her little hands in with all her strength.
After a while, he pulled out two shiny pistols, raised them up and swung them towards Tang Shengkai and Lin Cuicui, showing off.
"Look, Dad, we have pistols and plenty of bullets. Even if the spies come, we are not afraid."
Tang Shengkai came back late and didn't see Tang Yue picking up the gun.
The noise in the yard startled the three boys who were sleeping in the house. When Tang Bei and the other two woke up, they saw Tang Yue showing off with a gun in her hand.
Tang Nan was the most excited. "Sister, let me see."
Even though Tang Dong was usually very cunning and looked the most cunning, he was eager to try it out when he saw the pistol. He came forward and stared at the pistol.
Tang Bei stood aside, not saying a word, but his fiery gaze revealed the restlessness in his heart.
Tang Yue was about to hand the pistol to Tang Nan when Tang Shengkai stopped her.
"No. This is a real gun. Not one of those hunting rifles Dad uses. It's very dangerous. You can't just play with it."
Tang Shengkai's expression was serious. None of the three boys dared to reach out.
Tang Yue looked up and Tang Shengkai sighed.
"Yueyue, be good. Daddy will teach you how to use it later. You can't play with it casually now. These things are very important."
Tang Yue nodded, stuffed the two guns into Tang Shengkai's hands, and ran back to the black box.
Just now, when Tang Yue opened it, all these things were exposed. There was a compartment next to it that she hadn't seen yet. Tang Yue peeled the compartment open. "Wow!"
Tang Yue took out the new ten-yuan banknotes one by one.
Lin Cuicui, Tang Shengkai, and the others were drooling. This, this was too much. Finally, Tang Yue pulled out 15 stacks of big unity notes.
"Haha, Dad, now we have money."
Tang Nan's face was filled with excitement. "With so much money, I can buy so many delicious foods."
Tang Bei and Tang Dong looked at him unkindly. But they were also very happy. Now his family really had money to spend.
"Hey, Boss. Why are there so many?"
Tang Shengkai had never seen so much money before, so he just pretended to be calm. "Hurry up and pick it up and take it inside."
If outsiders saw this amount of money, who knows how much trouble it would cause.
Lin Cuicui swiftly went over and stuffed all the items into the black box. She closed the box and quickly carried it into the house.
After entering the house, Tang Shengkai took the trousers the spy had worn yesterday, which were lying on the kang. Inside were 26 "Great Unity" banknotes, along with a few scattered five- and two-yuan notes. He had counted them yesterday; the total was 296 yuan.
When Tang Yue saw her father take it, she also took out the 561 yuan she had taken from the spy at the door from her pocket and put it on the kang.
Lin Cuicui had never known the two men had so much money. Recalling yesterday's scene, Lin Cuicui knew where the money came from, and she couldn't help but grit her teeth. These spies were really rich. They had never seen such a large amount of money in their lives.
Tang Bei silently took the box from Lin Cuicui's hand, opened it on the kang, took out a stack of big unity and began to count them.
Tang Nan and Tang Dong could also count. Seeing Tang Bei's little fingers flipping the big unity with clumsy movements, they looked anxious but counted silently.
Finally, he counted the stack of 50 bills. That's 500 yuan. Tang Nan couldn't believe it. He took out another stack of big unity bills and silently counted them one by one.
Seeing that his elder and second brothers were counting, Tang Dong started to count as well.
Lin Cuicui and Tang Shengkai also joined in.
Tang Yue watched curiously. She knew her parents and brothers had never seen so much money before, and they all wanted to try their hand at it. She thought it was quite fun.
The last family counted all 15 stacks, each containing 50 cards.
"How much is this in total?"
Lin Cuicui had never been to school. When she was younger, she could count and calculate as she went along. But when the number grew, she was a little confused and couldn't figure it out for a moment.
"A total of 8,547 yuan." Tang Bei's voice trembled a little when he spoke.
"so much?"
Lin Cuicui's voice was a little off as she shouted. Tang Shengkai quickly pulled her arm. Lin Cuicui quickly covered her mouth with her hand. Tang Nan and Tang Dong also opened their mouths in surprise.
Tang Yue already knew that the money was quite a lot. She also knew the purchasing power of the money during her time in the county town.
Her father's injuries were so severe that a hospital stay would normally cost only fifty or sixty yuan. So this 8,000 yuan was simply too much for them.
After the shock subsided, Lin Cuicui frowned. "Where are we going to hide all this money?"
Tang Shengkai's face was also filled with worry. With their dilapidated home, they felt unsafe no matter where they hid. Tang Dong's voice was low, but every word was clear.
"Why don't we dig a hole in the backyard and bury these things."
Tang Shengkai thought this method was feasible, but there was still a problem.
"We don't have any plastic at home. These are all banknotes. If we bury them in the soil, they will rot after a long time." Oh, it's really worrying. I was worried when I had no money, and now I'm even more worried when I have a lot of money.
Tang Nan suddenly seemed to remember something. "Grandma's got some plastic. I'll go get some."
After saying that, he ran out but was grabbed by Lin Cuicui.
"Are you stupid? With your ability, would your grandma give you plastic?"
Tang Nan scratched his head with a smile. He had forgotten that his grandmother didn't like them very much.
But for the sake of money, Tang Nan could only look at Tang Shengkai with envy. This was money, which could buy a lot of delicious food, so he couldn't let it go to waste.
Tang Shengkai and Lin Cuicui exchanged a glance. He had absolutely no confidence in getting the plastic from his mother. But looking down at the pile of money on the kang, he decided he had to give it a try.
Besides, now that he has so much money, Tang Shengkai thought to himself, should he give his mother some money?
Tang Shengkai didn't know what was going on, but he just said what he was thinking.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly dropped to freezing point. Lin Cuicui and the three Tangbei brothers all looked unhappy. Tang Shengkai was shocked for a moment, then sighed.
