"Does the Su family still have hidden treasure? I don't recall ever seeing it."
"I...I don't know either,"
Jian Dan was raised by her grandfather when she was little. She was with him all the time and didn't even know it. As for Jian Liye, her son-in-law, whom she only saw a few times a year, his profession meant that he was almost always walking a tightrope. Her grandfather was very understanding and would never add to his burden with family matters.
However, Jian Liye greatly admired his father-in-law.
"But your grandfather is different from ordinary people like us. He never reveals all his cards when he does things. He usually thinks a hundred steps ahead and is extremely farsighted. It would be normal if he really hid something and left something behind."
Jian Liye wasn't surprised by her words. After all, having spent so many years in the military and infiltrated the enemy ranks, he couldn't possibly be acting like a fool in front of her.
"Then you didn't even ask me?"
"What are you saying? Even if your grandfather told you that, it was something he left for you. You're not a child anymore. You have strength and brains, and you have Qinghuai protecting you. Do you think I'd worry about it being taken away by someone?"
Cheng Jin and Cheng Chao came over because this matter was no longer simply about elders leaving family property to the younger generation. Since it had been acknowledged, it was aimed at the Su family. It was unlikely that only a few people were interested in such a thing, which was what made them anxious.
The Su family's reputation in the capital, especially in the first twenty years, was legendary. The title "Su Half-City" was well-deserved.
From the war years to before the founding of the People's Republic of China, and even during the devastating aftermath of the founding of the PRC, the Su family generously donated items on numerous occasions. When supplies were scarce, they also used their own channels to directly purchase supplies to support the country.
Then, due to the circumstances of the past few years, they handed over their remaining factories and family property to the new government. It can be said that no matter what period, the Su family has always made contributions to the country. That is to say, whether it is the Cheng family, the Qin family, or many soldiers who have been on the battlefield, it can be said that almost no one in the area around the capital has not received the care of the Su family.
However, one cannot blame people for being cold-hearted because of a single incident. The philanthropists of the past must have been wealthy, and under these circumstances, they inevitably became a source of resentment in the hearts of some people, causing them to harbor resentment.
Human nature is the most fickle thing. Everyone else is poor, so why should you eat meat every day?
If being poor is considered glorious, then being rich is obviously not glorious, and you would be standing on the opposite side of the people.
Thinking this way, they began to believe it themselves, and then they became more confident and righteous in their criticism.
During this period, chaos is not the most terrible thing. Restoring order is only a matter of time. Just treat it as a tribulation. Once the tribulation is over, the sun will shine again.
What's most terrifying is human nature, especially the maliciousness of those who know full well it's a frame-up but still insist on pinning it on someone, and even more malicious speculation. That's what they're worried about—that someone might want to stir things up even more, disrupt the plans here, or do something even more damaging. They're also afraid that someone might come along and ruin their hard work.
However, Jian Dan's relationship with the Su family was never hidden. Whenever the old man Su was mentioned, the neighbors and even the factory workers all knew that he had a granddaughter he had raised since she was a child.
“Sister, that’s what we think too. On the surface, you’re the only descendant of the Su family. Since someone has brought up this topic, even if it’s fabricated, who would believe it? Right?”
Wealth is a powerful motivator. The Su family is a large and wealthy family. Even if they hand over their entire fortune, they won't really leave themselves without a way out. No one will truly believe that the Su family will give up all their assets.
Regardless of whether it's true or not, what if we actually find it? Even if it doesn't lead to instant wealth, just a tiny bit that slips through our fingers would be enough to turn our lives around, enough for an average family to earn over several lifetimes.
With such a huge piece of fat hanging in front of you, it's a miracle you haven't gone crazy.
Fatty meat = simple.
A simple twitch at the corner of the mouth,
"So, it's possible that I'm being watched?"
Cheng Jin's face was grim. He was too embarrassed to even mention the true colors of those people. They were so righteous and hypocritical, claiming that since Su Yuanshan had handed over his family property, his descendants should be just like him, selfless and willing to provide the whereabouts of that property and hand it over to the state. Otherwise, they would be unfilial, immoral, and unjust.
It would be easy for him to persuade her; given her status as a military dependent, she should set an example.
He didn't want to say these things and offend everyone's ears, but he also didn't want to keep it a secret. The children were all grown up, and even if they didn't go into politics, they should still have a basic sense of caution regarding the intentions of some people in power.
In the end, Jian Dan was completely overwhelmed.
She is naturally not afraid when she is alone. Even if the situation is obviously unfavorable, she will not sit idly by and wait to die. She will secretly look for the opponent's weakness to strike decisively, or simply drain the opponent dry. She likes to do this.
"So, you're just going to hide like this? You can't be a thief for a thousand days straight, can you?"
A group of grown men, all trained, who doesn't understand this principle?
But isn't this also because there's no good solution for the time being?
In the past, they wouldn't have been worried at all. After all, with their simple skills, well, to be honest, as long as they were careful, as long as it wasn't a firearm, all the dangers would have to stay away from her.
But things are different now. My body is not the same after giving birth, and I haven't been able to exercise for a while, so I guess I've become quite rusty.
In addition, there is a child. To be honest, if something happens, the child would be safest with Jian Dan.
This thought was especially clear to Qin Qinghuai. Others might not understand, but he certainly did. His wife's space, or rather, her base, was safer than anyone else's protection. Once the child was placed inside, neither the enemy nor our side could find him.
With the child's safety issue resolved, he felt more at ease and lowered his head to think quietly.
The current situation is that it's unclear who leaked these words, or whether they were targeted by a few individuals or groups.
The only clue they had was that they had captured a group of low-level underlings, and the interrogation had yielded no useful leads other than that; clearly, they were all small fry.
The real mastermind, however, kept himself completely hidden.
Simple is the one who dislikes all these roundabout ways. In the few years since I went to the countryside, even though there have been unpleasant things occasionally, I haven't really encountered many schemes or plots. Even if there were, they were just my own little schemes, and they were basically within my acceptable range.
To put it simply, it's all about playing straight – it's satisfying!
