Chapter 30 Dignity shattered into pieces.
Cheng Jiajia and Yu Junsheng, one carrying a shovel and the other holding a wooden box, ran like thieves, encountering no one along the way, and soon arrived at the gate of the courtyard.
The two of them caught their breath, looked at each other, and Cheng Jiajia tiptoed forward and gently pushed open the gate of the courtyard.
The wooden door creaked open, and the two immediately held their breath.
Cheng Jiajia moved even more gently, opening the door wider little by little, just enough for one person to pass through. She turned her head and winked at Yu Junsheng, signaling him to go first while she would cover the rear.
Yu Junsheng: "..." What should I do if I feel like a pampered husband being protected by my wife?
However, he didn't dawdle and quickly slipped through sideways. Cheng Jiajia followed closely and gently locked the door.
After arriving home, the young couple rushed into the inner room, bolted the door, closed the windows, and drew the curtains tightly before hiding under the covers like thieves, using a flashlight to examine the contents of the wooden box.
The box was opened, and both pairs of eyes widened simultaneously. "Wow!"
It was filled with gemstones of all colors—red, blue, emerald, pink—dazzlingly beautiful.
Moreover, they are all varieties that are extremely rare and expensive in later generations.
Cheng Jiajia's eyes sparkled as she stared intently at the colorful stones, unable to look away.
She grabbed Yu Junsheng's arm and whispered excitedly, "Oh my god, we're rich! We're rich! So many diamonds, we can sell them for so much money!"
In comparison, Yu Junsheng's expression was relatively good, after all, he had heard Zheng Haiyang mention what was in the box in his dream.
After being shocked at first, he quickly calmed down and analyzed the situation in his mind. He said seriously, "Honey, we can't take these things out for the next few years."
Cheng Jiajia was stunned for a moment before realizing that these things were worthless now, which was one reason why they couldn't fetch a good price.
More importantly, they don't know who buried it, and who knows if anyone else knows there's treasure hidden in that courtyard. What if something gets out of there and is recognized? Wouldn't that be like revealing that they dug up something there?
Putting aside others, Zheng Haiyang and his companion would be furious if they found out that this thing had been dug up. If their expenses increased at this time, they might suspect them.
Having figured this out, Cheng Jiajia felt that these beautiful gemstones instantly lost their appeal to her, and she just saw them as some nicer-looking stones.
And thinking about the next few years... she said expressionlessly, "So, all that effort we put into digging these things back isn't going to improve our lives, but instead, it's become a hot potato?"
It's not something you should eat or drink, and there's always the risk of being targeted.
Yu Junsheng touched his nose. "Ahem, theoretically speaking, that's indeed the case."
Cheng Jiajia stared at him with dead fish eyes, her fists clenched so tightly they cracked.
Yu Junsheng felt a chill run down his spine and chuckled awkwardly, "Let's dig a hole in the storage room and bury this box. No one will find it then." He blinked hard to convince Cheng Jiajia, "Really, honey, you have to believe me! We can't just resort to violence!"
After all that effort, the benefits wouldn't materialize for over a decade. Cheng Jiajia immediately lost interest and no longer cared about the box of things.
She lay back on the bed and turned her face away. "Quick, quick, take it away! Don't let me see it!" She had even dreamt that this box would make her lie flat, but...
Seeing her listless appearance, Yu Junsheng found it amusing. He reached out and patted her head, comforting her, "We still have a little over three hundred at home. Once I save up some more, I'll buy you a job. Then we'll both be employed, and things will gradually get better."
Actually, their lives are not much worse than other families now, but Cheng Jiajia comes from a later era with a very rich material life, so she is not used to it.
"Sigh~" Cheng Jiajia sighed resignedly. Who told her to transmigrate here? She had no choice but to get used to it!
However, she still said, "There's no rush to find a job. I have some money on hand, so don't push yourself too hard."
Yu Junsheng repairs broken radios at a scrap yard, then resells them at a low price. He sells a radio for 20 yuan, and after deducting the cost of buying parts, it's pure profit. He accumulated his wealth through this business.
Such opportunities are rare. After all, people are very careful with their products these days. A radio can last for more than ten years, so there aren't that many that are scrapped.
Cheng Jiajia was afraid that if this person pushed her too hard, she would end up in the black market, which would be a loss.
As long as she could find a job before the educated youth were forced to go to the countryside, she wasn't in a particular hurry.
He added worriedly, "You absolutely mustn't go to the black market!"
Yu Junsheng raised an eyebrow. "I know, don't worry, wife!" He wasn't inflexible. If he really found out about the job opportunity, he wouldn't miss it just because he didn't want to spend his wife's money. He wasn't that stupid.
However, I was also thinking that after I got to work, I would rummage through the scrap yard again to see if there were any discarded radios, and I would try to collect as many as possible.
As for the black market, his wife really overestimated him; a nobody like him couldn't possibly get involved in that kind of place.
After they finished talking, it was already late. Yu Junsheng poured some hot water from the thermos in the dark and washed the two of them before they went to sleep.
Perhaps because those gems haven't been redeemed in the last decade or so, they were just a bunch of pretty stones in Cheng Jiajia and Yu Junsheng's eyes, so they didn't feel excited or thrilled and fell asleep as soon as their heads hit the pillow.
...
Jiang Qiubai, who shared a single bed with her mother-in-law at the hospital, did not sleep soundly. Her mother-in-law's snoring and her husband's snores filled the room, and Jiang Qiubai kept her eyes open until the early hours of the morning before finally falling asleep.
She dreamed that recurring dream again.
This time, Jiang Qiubai finally saw the location of the wooden box clearly.
She suddenly opened her eyes, her heart pounding with excitement. She saw it! She saw it!
That box of treasures is in that five-courtyard communal house in Zaozi Hutong!
There's a dog hole in the back you can crawl through!
Thinking of this, Jiang Qiubai's breathing became heavy.
She absolutely must get her hands on those things. Not only will she make a fortune, but Haiyang will also be happy, and her mother-in-law will probably fawn over her. Then she'll be able to hold her head high in her husband's family!
Jiang Qiubai couldn't help but break into a wide smile.
She couldn't wait to tell her mother-in-law and Haiyang-ge this wonderful news!
Overwhelmed with excitement, Jiang Qiubai couldn't sleep at all for the rest of the night, and she stayed awake until dawn.
...
Not to mention the shock and elation that Zheng Haiyang and his family of three felt when they learned of this incredible good news early in the morning.
It was another morning, and the courtyard was filled with the usual lively atmosphere.
As always, Guan Ailian got up before dawn to make breakfast for the Ren family at the Third Hospital.
She glanced at her son's closed door, curled her lip, and couldn't help but say sarcastically, "Oh, being our daughter-in-law is really a blessing. She sleeps until noon every day. Other mothers-in-law can relax after their daughters-in-law enter the family, but it's different in our family. I, as the mother-in-law, have to serve my daughter-in-law every day. This has really broadened my horizons!"
Seeing no movement from inside, Guan Ailian continued cooking while banging on the door and shouting, "When we were young, who didn't get up before dawn to cook for the whole family? If you dared to leave your husband to sleep while your mother-in-law cooked, you'd be scorned! We were too shy to do that back then, but the young wives these days are so different!"
Inside the room, Dong Xiangxiang nestled softly in Ren Yongsheng's arms, playfully punching his chest with her little fist, and said with a wronged expression, "Brother Yongsheng, I know Mom doesn't like me. She can hit me and scold me, and I don't say a word. But if people outside hear what she says, what will they think of me? How can I face anyone?"
Ren Yongsheng had originally gone to a friend's house yesterday, but last night he felt restless thinking about Cheng Jiajia's cute appearance, so he came back to sleep with Dong Xiangxiang. However, it was just for sleeping; he wouldn't stand up for her.
Seeing that the man remained unmoved, Dong Xiangxiang's eyes flickered. She said worriedly, "What if people say you've forgotten your mother after getting married, that you only know how to protect your wife and are unfilial to your old mother? Yongsheng, you're a projectionist in a big factory; you can't ruin your reputation."
Ren Yongsheng's expression changed.
After a night of comforting from Dong Xiangxiang, Ren Yongsheng was now satisfied. He was quite impatient with his mother's veiled nagging this morning, but he wasn't about to say anything to her, since he knew she was doing it for his own good.
But it's a different story if it affects your work.
As a film projectionist, Ren Yongsheng held a position of respectability among the younger generation in the theater, and he absolutely could not allow anything to go wrong! Absolutely not!
He jumped up, threw on his clothes, opened the door, and yelled, "Mom, what are you yelling about? What will the people in the yard think of our family? Don't we have any dignity left?"
Guan Ailian pursed her lips, thinking to herself, "What's all this talk about decorum? I'd love for everyone to know what kind of daughter-in-law my family has married. I'd prefer to ruin Dong Xiangxiang's reputation so she can't stay here anymore, so my son can marry a city girl. That would be more respectable."
But seeing her son's gloomy face, she didn't dare to say anything more. She just slammed the spatula down in a huff and said, "Fine, fine, I owe you all. I was born to serve you, okay?"
Not only did her son not understand her, but he also protected that vixen. Guan Ailian vented all her grievances on her hands, and the kitchen continued to make a racket.
Inside the room, a smug glint flashed in Dong Xiangxiang's eyes.
Old man, you think you can mess with me? Humph!
...
In the east wing of the Second Courtyard, at the Yu family's residence, although he was busy until late last night, Yu Junsheng didn't stay in bed; he had to go to work today.
That's right, Yu Junsheng's honeymoon is over, and he should be back at work today.
You know, he's young. He only slept three or four hours last night, but he was still full of energy when he woke up in the morning. Yu Junsheng quickly finished his breakfast without waking Cheng Jiajia. He kept her portion warm in the pot in the kitchen, closed the door, and went to work.
When Cheng Jiajia woke up, the sun was already high in the sky. When she went out to wash up, all the older women in the courtyard looked at her.
A friendly gesture might involve casting a flirtatious glance, followed by a wink and a smile.
After all, everyone has a youthful past; we all know that.
However, there was a discordant voice, namely Guan Ailian, the biological mother of that lecherous Ren Yongsheng from yesterday. She had a kind smile on her face, but what she said was not so pleasant to hear:
"Oh, you're up so late? These days, young wives are really living the good life. Unlike us back then, we had to get up before dawn to prepare breakfast for the whole family. If we slept until the sun was high in the sky, everyone would talk behind our backs and say we were only good at flirting with men. We'd be drowned in their spittle!"
Guan Ailian had just been upset by Dong Xiangxiang that morning, and now seeing Cheng Jiajia, the culprit who indirectly caused Dong Xiangxiang to smash things in her house, naturally made her furious. Adding to that, her son had been splashed with water by Cheng Jiajia yesterday, and with all the old and new grudges combined, Guan Ailian couldn't help but bite... no, I mean, she started to be sarcastic.
Cheng Jiajia: "..."
Is this person crazy?
Doesn't that mean she only knows how to seduce men?
Don't tell me she didn't stay up late today because of this at all. Even if she did, it's none of your business as a neighbor who has no connection with her.
He looks so kind and gentle, but the things he says are so inhuman.
This person seemed to have previously tried to give her so-called niece from her maternal family to Yu Junsheng so that she could take over the Yu family's house. Well, she's not a good person either.
Catching sight of someone out of the corner of her eye, Cheng Jiajia's eyes darted around, and she immediately looked at Guan Ailian, feigning a hesitant expression.
“Aunt Guan, I know you don’t like Sister Xiangxiang, but you don’t have to curse her like that outside! Saying she doesn’t work and only knows how to seduce men, how is she supposed to face our neighbors in the future?”
Cheng Jiajia continued, stammering, "Aunt Guan, Xiangxiang and your son are a couple, isn't it natural for them to sleep together at night? No matter how good your relationship is with Yongsheng, you can't have any objections to this. It's a good thing that the couple has a good relationship, you can't be jealous. The doctor said that no matter how close the mother and son are, they still need to have some private space, otherwise, that's a sign of illness, you can't do that!"
Guan Ailian: "!!!"
Guan Ailian stared wide-eyed, not reacting for a moment.
What the heck?!
When did I ever insult Dong Xiangxiang? I was clearly insulting you! You! You!
No, what am I jealous of?! Her son has absolutely no feelings for Dong Xiangxiang!
No, no, she doesn't have any illness at all!
Cheng Jiajia's words were so venomous that Guan Ailian didn't know which point to refute first.
Unfortunately, before she could even react, Dong Xiangxiang stepped forward, carrying a washbasin, her eyes brimming with tears, looking at Aunt Guan with a half-crying expression:
"Mom, so that's what you said about me outside. I'm so heartbroken... Waaah!"
Her voice was mournful, and her expression was sorrowful. "Ever since I married into the Ren family, I've treated you like my own mother. I offered to cook breakfast, but you complained that it wasn't good and insisted on cooking it yourself. When I offered to help you with the laundry, you said I didn't wash it properly and insisted on washing it yourself. I had no choice but to let you do it. I thought you were just making excuses because you felt sorry for me and didn't want me to do any work, but I never expected this... I never expected this... Waaah... Mom, how could you slander me like this? How can I face people like this in the future?"
Oh dear, this is terrible!
Aunt Guan is a terrible person!
How could you scheme against your daughter-in-law like that?
A righteous older woman strongly disagreed, saying, "Old Guan, this is your fault. You're the one who complained that your daughter-in-law wasn't doing the work well and wouldn't let her do it. How can you say she doesn't do any work outside? You're too cunning."
"That's right, why won't you let your daughter-in-law sleep with your son anymore? How can they give you a grandson if they don't sleep together?"
"What, can't newlyweds have a good relationship?"
"Or are you saying that you didn't sleep with your husband when you were young, Lao Guan? Then how did you have your children?"
Everyone criticized Aunt Guan, feeling that she had gone too far, was too harsh on her daughter-in-law, and was too calculating. They also said that she shouldn't have tried to outsmart her family.
Guan Ailian: "!!!"
Give birth my ass! She doesn't want Dong Xiangxiang's grandson!
No, she's not playing any tricks. Dong Xiangxiang deliberately made the food bad, and she deliberately didn't wash the clothes properly! She only told her once not to do it herself, and this little bitch has been taking it for granted that she should serve her. Can't she even say a word?
Who's playing dirty tricks here?!
Guan Ailian was speechless, because as soon as she opened her mouth, Dong Xiangxiang started sobbing and crying without saying anything. Everyone who saw her felt that she had been bullied terribly and was so pitiful!
Guan Ailian was once again criticized and lectured by a good friend.
Things like not controlling your son too much, being lenient with your daughter-in-law, and giving the young couple their private space...
Guan Ailian: "..."
Guan Ailian went mad, screaming, "Ahhh!"
He just wanted to say a few harsh words to Cheng Jiajia to vent his anger.
Who would have thought that this little bitch would so easily shift the blame onto Dong Xiangxiang?
And that idiot Dong Xiangxiang actually helped outsiders to deal with her!
And these gossipy blabbermouths, what's it to you?! Why are you scurrying around like dogs chasing mice?!
You believe everything Dong Xiangxiang says?!
They're all idiots! Complete idiots!
Guan Ailian is so angry she's practically steaming!
Cheng Jiajia watched from the sidelines, marveling at the skill and giving Dong Xiangxiang an admiring look. What a master!
Aunt Guan's days are probably going to be quite eventful from now on.
Cheng Jiajia stirred up trouble, and while everyone was criticizing Aunt Guan, she slipped away home without leaving a trace.
...
The recycling station where Yu Junsheng worked didn't have a canteen, so he and Old Wang usually ate at home.
Today was no exception. Seeing that it was almost lunchtime, he and Old Man Wang closed the gate and went home.
In the few days since he started living with Cheng Jiajia, he has been busy with all the kitchen work, and he has gotten used to it. He originally thought he would have to cook when he got back.
When he got home, he was surprised to find that his wife had already prepared a meal and was waiting for him.
Waaaaah, why am I actually feeling a little touched?
Cheng Jiajia rolled her eyes at him, annoyed. "What are you grinning like an idiot for?"
Yu Junsheng: "Hehe, I know, my wife feels sorry for me."
"Good to know!"
Although she was a bit selfish, she wasn't completely ignorant of logic.
A relationship between husband and wife requires give and take. It's one thing to do it normally, but expecting someone to cook for you while they're at work is fine for a short time, but who wouldn't feel resentful in the long run? Rather than letting it affect your relationship, it's better to take the initiative to do it yourself.
It's cold now, so Cheng Jiajia put the cooked dishes in the rice cooker to keep them warm, so that Yu Junsheng could take them out when he came back and they would be hot.
Cheng Jiajia didn't cook many complicated dishes, just stir-fried bean sprouts, stir-fried green beans with meat, and a small dish of pickled vegetables.
But Yu Junsheng felt that the food was especially delicious today. He ate three more bowls of rice, finished all the dishes on his plate, and slumped in his chair with a satisfied burp.
Cheng Jiajia's lips twitched. "...Wouldn't it be a little unnecessary?"
"Hehe, honey, your cooking is so delicious!"
"...Then you wash the dishes!" Anyway, she would never wash the dishes, no matter what.
"become!"
Yu Junsheng readily agreed.
My wife's hands are so soft and comfortable to touch, how can she wash the dishes?
Cheng Jiajia had no idea that this person's thoughts had become unhealthy again. She chattered on and on, telling Yu Junsheng everything that had happened that morning.
Newlyweds are often very affectionate and like to share their lives with each other.
The two were chatting about the gossip that had happened in the courtyard that morning when a jingling sound suddenly came from outside, followed by a lively chatter.
Cheng Jiajia raised an eyebrow. There were no bicycles in their yard. Who had guests?
As soon as the two went outside, they saw Ren Yongsheng standing tall and proud in front of a gleaming bicycle.
The neighbors in the courtyard all looked at the bicycle with curiosity, circling around it and constantly expressing their admiration.
"Tsk tsk, this is a bicycle! No wonder you're the most respectable family in our compound. Old Guan, only someone with a high salary like yours can afford such an expensive thing!"
"Yongsheng, you truly deserve to be called the most capable among the younger generation in our compound. None of those other kids have bought a car, except for you!"
Guan Ailian's face was flushed, all her previous anger and frustration gone. She felt that she had regained the face she had lost because of her son, and that her family was still the most respectable family in the compound!
She said modestly, "Not at all, not at all. It's just that everyone thinks highly of our family and gave us these names in jest. Don't take them seriously!"
He said it wasn't to be taken seriously, but the smugness and pride on his face said otherwise.
Everyone just smiled, knowing better than to say anything, and remained good neighbors.
Grandpa Guo squatted down and carefully touched the bicycle wheels again and again, his expression one of utmost reverence. "So shiny! So smooth! No wonder it's a new bicycle, it feels so good!"
Guan Ailian quickly stopped her, "Hey, Lao Guo, don't touch it! Your hands are so rough, you might scratch them."
Grandpa Guo wasn't annoyed at all, and just smiled and said, "To touch it is to win, to touch it is to benefit. From today onwards, I'm someone who has touched a new bicycle!"
Everyone: "..."
You're something else, Guo the Stingy!
Cheng Jiajia's lips twitched: This old man Guo is really something... Judging from his expression just now, she even suspected that this stingy old man might take the wheels off the Ren family's bicycle tonight.
Ren Yongsheng noticed Cheng Jiajia and the others coming out, patted the back seat of the bicycle, and said proudly, "Junsheng, I bought a bicycle today, you have to work hard too! With a bicycle, it will be more convenient to take your wife anywhere, instead of walking like we are now, right? This bicycle only costs a little over 180 yuan plus a bus ticket, which is about six or seven months' salary for you. Just save up and you'll have it!"
He spoke to Yu Junsheng, but his eyes remained fixed on Cheng Jiajia, the implication clear. See? I have money, I can afford a bicycle, unlike that poor kid Yu Junsheng!
Cheng Jiajia: "..."
Cheng Jiajia's lips twitched. Is this guy out of his mind?
And where are your eyes looking?!
Yu Junsheng, on the other hand, looked shocked and waved his hands repeatedly. "Brother Yongsheng, you must be joking. How could I afford such an expensive thing as a bicycle? Only you, Brother Yongsheng, with your high salary and good benefits, can afford one in our compound! We've never even touched a bicycle before, let alone ridden one!"
These words made Ren Yongsheng very proud. "Of course, I'm not afraid. In this courtyard, if I call myself second, no one dares to call themselves first!"
Yu Junsheng changed the subject and asked expectantly, "Brother Yongsheng, we all grew up together in the same compound and have a deep bond since childhood. Look, you've already bought a new car, while we bunch of good-for-nothings have never even touched a car before and don't even know how to ride a bicycle. We'd love to borrow your bicycle to learn how to ride, you definitely won't refuse, right?"
"That's...natural," Ren Yongsheng suddenly realized something was wrong and stammered, "No, no, what...what is that?"
Yu Junsheng looked at Ren Yongsheng expectantly, "Brother Yongsheng, for the sake of our childhood friendship, you'll agree to let us borrow your car, right?"
The group of young men behind him immediately lit up and echoed Yu Junsheng, "That's right, that's right, Yongsheng, you're the most capable person in our compound, and you're also generous and kind-hearted. You definitely won't refuse such a small thing, right?"
Ren Yongsheng didn't want to lend it. He wanted to say that he had no relationship with him, but with so many people present, saying it would offend people, so he didn't dare.
Ren Yongsheng opened his mouth, and Aunt Guan's expression changed drastically. She quickly tugged at her son's sleeve, telling him to stop talking.
She gave a dry laugh, "Hehe, you guys are joking. None of us can ride a bike, how could we dare to lend it out? If it gets bumped or damaged, wouldn't that be causing trouble for everyone? My family isn't the kind of people who are unkind and unfriendly to their neighbors. For everyone's sake, we'd better not lend the bike to anyone."
After saying that, he grabbed Ren Yongsheng and ran away as fast as he could, afraid that if they stayed even a second longer, someone would come up and borrow the car.
Everyone scoffed, "Aunt Guan is really dishonest!"
And just like that, the dignity that Aunt Guan had just managed to pick up was shattered into pieces again.
Cheng Jiajia and Yu Junsheng exchanged a glance and burst into laughter.
She gave her a thumbs up, "You're awesome!"
...
The news that the Ren family bought a bicycle successfully replaced Zheng Haiyang's question on the top of the trending topics list in the compound.
Even into the night, people in every house were still discussing the Ren family's bicycle.
In the front yard, Ma Gaosheng said jealously, "It's just a bicycle, what's the big deal?"
He calculated his own money and said, "Let's buy one too. It's only a little over a hundred yuan. They act like we can't afford it. And they call themselves the most capable people in the compound. Humph, these people are such sycophants!"
Hu Mei applied face cream and said, "Why buy anything? With that money, you might as well buy me some medicine so we can have a baby soon and avoid people gossiping."
The couple had been married for several years but had no children. Although the husband's family hadn't pressured them, there were some unpleasant rumors circulating, mainly about Hu Mei, so she was quite anxious to have a child.
Ma Gaosheng chuckled in a cheeky tone, grabbed Hu Mei, and pulled her toward the bed. "Alright, let's have a baby right now!"
In the backyard of the Bai family home, Bai Zhenzhu pointed her finger at Bai Xiaohui's forehead, her face full of disappointment. "You, you wretched girl! Look how wealthy the Ren family is! You brat, you never listen to me. Otherwise, this bicycle would be yours today, not that country bumpkin Dong Xiangxiang's!"
Bai Xiaohui pouted, "It's just a bicycle, right? Brother Ziwen is now an officer in the factory's publicity department, and his salary isn't low. It's not like he can't afford a bicycle!"
Bai Zhenzhu snorted, "Can the Qin family's wealth compare to the Ren family's?"
Bai Xiaohui fell silent.
As for Dong Xiangxiang, she looked at the brand-new bicycle and felt very proud, thinking that she had made the right move! If she had listened to the old woman and married Yu Junsheng, she wouldn't be able to afford a bicycle now.
Her eyes flickered; the Ren family was truly wealthy!
...
The residents of the compound were still in shock at the Ren family buying a bicycle, while at the hospital...
Ever since learning about the treasure this morning, the three of us have been in a state of ecstatic joy, as if I'm about to become incredibly rich.
Zheng Haiyang even felt that his back injury no longer hurt.
Unfortunately, he was too incapable of traveling long distances, so the important task of digging for treasure was entrusted to Jiang Qiubai and Chang Dafeng.
He added anxiously, "Mom, I'm leaving this to you. Please be very careful!"
Chang Dafeng said with a serious expression, "Don't worry about what Mom does!"
That evening, the two men, carrying baskets and shovels, stealthily made their way to the large, five-courtyard house.
Jiang Qiubai easily found the dog hole based on his memory.
Because she had reviewed it many times throughout the day, she was quite familiar with it and was about to skillfully crawl inside.
Suddenly, two burly men jumped out and dragged them outside.
"Ah, a ghost!" The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law trembled and screamed like pigs being slaughtered.
"Goodness, it must be you! It must be you who dug up the treasure!" The two burly men glared menacingly at the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
These two were the shadowy figures who crept over after Cheng Jiajia and the others left yesterday.
Damn it, yesterday they came to dig up the things the boss had buried before. They dug for a long time at the marked spot, only to find that the things had already been dug up. Judging from the state of the soil, it was just around the same time as them. How could anyone not be angry?
The two cursed and swore, both extremely unwilling to accept defeat.
They were so close, so very close, to getting the treasure the boss had hidden, and they would have become incredibly rich!
So, the short man, unwilling to give up, came up with a foolish idea: who knows, this person might have found treasure here one day, and then come back to look for other things the next day?
Although the tall, muscular man felt it wasn't very reliable, he had no other choice but to stay there for a few days and see how it went.
Who would have thought, who would have thought, that we actually caught two sneaky people tonight.
Look at that basket and shovel on his back, he's definitely here to dig something!
And that woman found the dog hole so easily, and the way she crawled through it so skillfully, it definitely wasn't her first time here!
That's it, it must be them!
The short man was convinced that Jiang Qiubai and Chang Dafeng had stolen their things, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Brothers, beat them up!"
These kinds of people have no rule against beating women. They clenched their fists and started hitting the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in front of them with "bang bang bang".
Poor Chang Dafeng and Jiang Qiubai got beaten up without even knowing what had happened.
"Oh my god, help! Murder!"
