Honey said, "But you can't wake someone who's pretending to be asleep. No matter what you say, they'll just pretend they didn't hear you!"
Li Xiyue said, "You're right, I can't wake someone who's pretending to be asleep..."
She secretly rolled her eyes. Her parents were just talking to themselves, trying to find her a boyfriend!
When Li Wenbo saw Du Jingshan arrive, his face was full of smiles. He made tea for Du Jingshan and offered him cigarettes, being unusually attentive.
Li Xiyue walked over and said, "He's just my teacher, not our family's creditor. Do we need to be so polite to him?!"
Li Wenbo, who had never done this before, reprimanded Li Xiyue, "This child, how can you talk like that? It's only because he's your teacher that we respect Principal Du so much!"
Principal Du took time out of his busy schedule to visit your home, which shows how much he cares about you!
Why is this child so insensible? Sit down and talk to Principal Du for a while. I'll go help your mother cook.
"Principal Du, wait a minute, my wife is killing a chicken, we're making braised chicken for dinner!"
Du Jingshan said, "Uncle, this is a gift I brought for my aunt. Please give it to her."
He took a brocade box out of his bag.
That brocade box looked valuable, especially in this era.
Li Wenbo took the brocade box and opened it. He opened his eyes wide in surprise, "Oh my! It's a watch! This is a world-renowned brand!"
"This...this is quite expensive! Why did you bring such an expensive gift?! This is too pricey! We can't accept it!"
Du Jingshan said, "I bought it abroad when I was studying abroad. The price wasn't expensive there."
There's no one at home to take care of it, and it's just a waste to leave it there. Why don't you give it to your aunt? Why don't you take it over and let her see if she likes it?"
Li Wenbo said with a smile, "How could I not like it? It's just that it's too expensive! I'll take it to my wife to see!"
After he finished speaking, he didn't dare to look at Li Xiyue's face and quickly walked out of the living room to the kitchen to find his wife.
Li Xiyue crossed her arms over her chest and tilted her head to look at Du Jingshan.
"A Longines watch? You're so rich, you can just give away your watch like that?"
Du Jingshan said, "We're not exactly rich, but we can still afford a watch! Doesn't your mother deserve to wear a Longines watch?"
Li Xiyue's lips pressed into a straight line, and she rolled her eyes in anger. Could she say that her mother didn't deserve to wear a nice watch?
Her mother didn't have a decent watch, and she had planned to take her to the mall to buy one this weekend, but Du Jingshan beat her to it and gave it to her first!
She said, "Is this how you conduct home visits? Eating at a student's house during a home visit? Is that appropriate? Deliver the things and leave quickly!"
Du Jingshan said, "I'd like to leave quickly, but I'm afraid your parents won't let me!"
"Li Xiyue, why do you hate me so much? Can't we just talk this out? If there's anything you've misunderstood, I don't mind explaining it to you!"
Li Xiyue sat on the sofa next to Du Jingshan and said, "Then please explain why you keep coming to my house? What benefits do you get from my house that you keep staring at it?"
Are you so desperate for a wife that you're chasing after just any woman? Haven't I told you? We're not a good match!
Du Jingshan said, "How will you know if it's suitable or not if you don't try? Maybe you'll find it's perfect at first glance!"
Li Xiyue said, "I know it's not right without even trying! I like Mu Cangnan, do you understand?"
Du Jingshan said, "Actually, even after Mu Cangnan has the surgery, his blood is not very good due to long-term exposure to radiation. Are you sure he is the right partner for you?"
You should know that a person who is exposed to radiation for a long time will age much faster and have more diseases in their organs than an ordinary person!
I don't know when he'll die from organ failure or a blood disease.
Li Xiyue said, "I will find a way to save him, you don't need to worry about that!"
Du Jingshan picked up his teacup and slowly sipped the tea without saying anything more, but his expression was unusually solemn.
Li Xiyue watched TV out of boredom. There were only three channels, and no matter how many she tried, it didn't change anything.
Moreover, the few TV dramas imported during that era were all from Cuba, written in short scripts, which she didn't particularly like.
The aroma of chicken soon filled the kitchen.
Mibao said in her space, "Chickens from this era are still the best; they even taste like chicken."
Li Xiyue said, "Of course, chickens in this era are not raised on feed, so the meat is especially fragrant."
Cheng Xiaohui busied herself preparing a table full of food, placing the braised chicken in the very center.
In those days, chickens were considered to have a higher status than pork; families rarely bought chickens to eat except during holidays.
Li Wenbo took out a pen from the dinner table and gave it to Du Jingshan.
Li Xiyue glanced at the brand of the pen: Parker gold-tipped pen. This pen wasn't cheap!
The more she looked at it, the angrier she became. What kind of mess was this?
During the meal, Cheng Xiaohui, Li Wenbo, and Du Jingshan chatted lively and enthusiastically.
Li Xiyue seemed to be sitting in another dimension, not participating in their conversation, eating by herself, and then leaving the living room and sneaking out of the Li family home.
Let them chat if they want; she has important things to do!
She had Mibao set up a spatial passage for him, leading him to the courtyard with the basement.
The business license has been approved, and he has completed the necessary procedures at the local street office. Now all of these courtyards belong to her!
She took the key, opened the gate, and walked into the yard, which was overgrown with weeds half a person tall.
Mibao said in the space, "The weeds here are too tall, be careful there might be snakes inside!"
Li Xiyue said, "Then set up a spatial passage for me, directly to the main hall."
Honey immediately set up a spatial passage for Li Xiyue.
The main hall was actually reduced to just the two walls on the left and right sides. The roof and the front and back walls had collapsed, and bricks were scattered all over the ground.
She stood on the bricks, using her X-ray vision to look at the object in the underground chamber. The object was very close to her, but the wall was too thick for her to take out.
She found the hidden door in the basement, cleared away the bricks covering it, and found the hidden door was under the cement floor.
She took out a hammer and chiseled around. Fortunately, the place had been in disrepair for years, and the cement floor had long since crumbled due to dampness.
She casually smashed it a few times, and the cement on the hidden door shattered into pieces.
She cleared away the cement blocks, opened the heavy hidden door, and entered the secret room.
The pitch-black night concealed Li Xiyue's voice, and when she closed the hidden door, no one knew there was another person inside.
As she entered the secret chamber, she lit the candlesticks inside.
Before her were rows of large wooden boxes. She casually opened one of them, and the gold bars inside gleamed out in front of her!
With a flick of her wrist, she stored the entire box of gold bars into her personal storage space…
