Chapter 13 What a pity for her
Late at night, Xia Fanxing continued to watch her parents transfer their family assets.
With last night's experience, they not only started working earlier, but also each had a cart with more boxes inside, greatly improving efficiency.
As they finished their last trip, the sky was just beginning to lighten with the first hint of dawn.
Xia's mother wiped her sweat and smiled with relief, "Finally, we've finished moving. We no longer have to worry about our family being as unlucky as the Song family, whose wealth accumulated over generations was stolen by thieves. Tonight, I can finally get a good night's sleep."
Xia's father sprinkled old soil on the entrance of the cave so that others wouldn't notice that it had been disturbed, which was very thoughtful of him.
After they left, Xia Fanxing appeared.
She first collected the old soil from the cave entrance, then opened the mechanism to enter the underground treasure vault.
Unlike the last time she raided the Song family's property, she didn't take everything. Instead, she left a shallow layer of treasure on the surface and filled the rest with large stones.
At first glance, it still looks like boxes and boxes of treasure.
When Xia Fanxing came out after collecting the family property, the morning light was just beginning to break, and various breakfast stalls were already bustling with activity.
She had no appetite during the day because of what happened by the river, but now her stomach was growling with hunger.
She found a stall near the police station, sat down, and had a big meal. Just as she finished eating, the police station opened for work. She wiped her mouth, carried her heavy bag, and went inside.
She stated her purpose: "Comrade, I would like to donate money to the country."
Inside the office.
The leader who rushed over upon hearing the news had a warm smile on his face. "Young comrade, I heard you wanted to donate money?"
Xia Fanxing nodded solemnly and dumped everything from her bag onto the table.
There was a pile of large coins, a few small yellow croakers, and some scattered jewelry.
“These are almost all my assets, and I have donated them all.”
Xia Fanxing looked down and picked at her fingers. "Actually, there should have been more than this, but my family found out recently that I'm not their biological child, so a lot of things that used to belong to me are no longer in my possession..."
The leader glanced at the items on the table and roughly estimated that they were worth more than 30,000.
He had heard about the Xia family's affairs, so he naturally didn't doubt Xia Fanxing's words.
He laughed heartily: "Young comrade, it's already very commendable that you have such awareness. Besides, you've donated quite a lot. On behalf of the people, I thank you. You can make any requests you have, and I will definitely help you in any way I can!"
Xia Fanxing didn't mince words and asked directly, "I want to go to the countryside for development. Can I go to the frontier?"
Since contacting Xie Jingchen by phone was not an option, she decided to try another one: going to the frontier as an educated youth was a good choice.
She couldn't just sit and wait to die.
"This..." The leader looked troubled.
Although Xia Fanxing is not the Xia family's biological daughter, she grew up in the Xia family and was influenced by capitalism.
She wants to go to the frontier to participate in development, which shows a very high level of awareness and deserves encouragement and praise.
But if a "capitalist's daughter" were to join the rural educated youth as an educated youth, what would the other educated youth think?
Will they object? Will they unite in a boycott? Will it cause unnecessary unrest and negative consequences?
The leader could only laugh awkwardly and say, "Comrade Xia, how about you change your request?"
Xia Fanxing noticed the leader's concerns and, as a second-best option, said, "Then please issue me a certificate so I can buy a train ticket to the border region."
These days, you need proof to go anywhere; without it, you can't move an inch.
The leader readily agreed to this small matter: "No problem!"
After he finished writing the certificate and stamped it, he also wrote down a train schedule for Xia Fanxing.
“This is the train that the educated youth who went to the countryside and went to the frontier took. You should buy a ticket for this train and travel with them. After all, we are all from Haicheng. Even if you are not an educated youth, you can at least look out for each other.”
Xia Fanxing carefully accepted the gift, bowed deeply to the leader, and said sincerely, "Thank you."
As the leader saw Xia Fanxing off, he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh as he watched her retreating figure: "This young woman is beautiful, well-mannered, grateful, and has a high level of awareness. She's truly a promising talent. What a pity...sigh!"
Unfortunately, he was raised by capitalists.
Unfortunately, she's a "capitalist's daughter".
Those around her couldn't help but ask, "Boss, she doesn't have the status of an educated youth sent to the countryside. How will she survive when she gets there? The educated youths ostracize her, and the locals all speak the Xinjiang dialect, with very few speaking Mandarin. She won't be able to communicate with them at all. She won't be favored by either side. Can she even survive in the border region? If you ask me, it's better for her to stay in Haicheng!"
"This is not our business." The leader left with his hands behind his back, seemingly with a sigh.

Xia Fanxing rode her bike to the train station to buy a ticket. Everything went smoothly, and she put the train ticket into her spatial storage.
Instead of rushing home, she disguised herself and went to the department store to stock up on goods.
She also visited the Friendship Store and the black market, practically buying everything in sight.
Once she gets to that godforsaken frontier, even if she has money, there'll be nowhere to spend it. She'll have to spend it all before she leaves Haicheng.
Xia Fanxing didn't stop until the sun set and went home.
She didn't ride her bike; she strolled to her doorstep and happened to witness a good show.
Xia Baijiao's hair was disheveled, her expression was manic, and her voice was hoarse as she roared until the veins on her forehead bulged: "Are you all idiots? The Song family has already been robbed, there are clear examples of this, why don't you take it seriously, why can't you protect your family property!"
Xia's parents stood there dumbfounded, hardly believing that the person in front of them was the usually gentle and obedient Xia Baijiao.
Seeing that a large crowd was gathering, Xia Yu stepped forward and tried to pull Xia Baijiao away, saying, "Sister, let's talk about it when we get back. Maybe there's some misunderstanding?"
Unexpectedly, Xia Baijiao acted as if she had encountered something filthy, forcefully throwing Xia Yu away and even hitting and kicking him, as if Xia Yu were an enemy with whom she had a blood feud.
"Get out of here! It's all your fault, you've ruined my life!" Xia Baijiao was particularly ruthless, and blood quickly appeared on Xia Yu's face.
Seeing this, Xia's parents couldn't stand it anymore and rushed over to separate the two, but Xia Baijiao pointed her finger at them and cursed them.
The scene was both lively and dramatic, and the onlookers enjoyed it, whispering, pointing, and discussing among themselves.
Some newcomers, unaware of the situation, were told by a kind person: "Early this morning, the Xia couple opened the door crying and cursing, saying they had been robbed last night and all their possessions had been stolen, leaving them with only a few dozen yuan. They kept crying and making a scene until their daughter and son returned about half an hour ago. After the two younger children found out that their home had been robbed, the daughter suddenly pointed at her own parents and cursed them, and treated her younger brother like an enemy. I reckon she was traumatized and went crazy."
Suddenly, Xia Baijiao noticed Xia Fanxing in the crowd and pounced on her like a vengeful ghost.
"You should have eaten it! You should have suffered all this pain and torment! Xia Fanxing, I'm going to kill you!!"
