Back home, the mother and daughter cooked a simple bowl of noodles and ate. Then, Chen's mother started packing Chen Shuning's luggage.
The train is early tomorrow morning, so Chen Shuning only has half a day left at home.
Thinking of her daughter who was about to leave home to go to the countryside so far away, Chen's mother felt a pang of sadness. Not wanting her daughter to do any work, she sent her to rest and busied herself with chores, thinking that everything she saw would be useful to her daughter after she went to the countryside.
But the luggage bag is only so big, so I still have to pick and choose what to pack and try to pack the most useful things.
Chen's mother was busy outside, and Chen Shuning didn't insist on packing her luggage together. It wasn't that she was being lazy, but rather that Chen Shuning had something more important to do right now—that is, to carefully recall the contents of the book.
You should know that when she first read this book, she only tolerated the author's strange values and read to the end because one of the pitiful female supporting characters had the same name as her.
However, apart from the part about the female supporting character who shared the same name as him, which Chen Shuning glanced at carefully, he only skimmed through the rest of the content.
What's worse is that the book she categorized as not very attractive wasn't placed in the study of the villa; instead, it was carelessly tossed somewhere.
Fortunately, after meeting Yang Wanqiu today, Chen Shuning roughly remembered some of the contents of the book. Based on the principle that the female protagonist with distorted values and who harmed the original owner in the original book should not live well, and also because she wanted to further verify whether she had really transmigrated into the book, Chen Shuning planned to find an excuse to go to that place to take a look later.
Just as Chen Shuning was thinking about what excuse to use to go out, her mother, who was tidying up outside, realized that she had forgotten to buy some things. So she called out from the outer room, "Shuning, Mom forgot to buy you face cream and soap. Why don't you come with me to the supply and marketing cooperative again? You can also help me see if there's anything else I need."
Chen Shuning was worried that it would be difficult for her to go out while her mother was at home. Upon hearing this, she quickly pretended to be very sleepy and said, "Mom, I'm a little sleepy and want to take a nap. Can you go by yourself? By the way, Mom, don't buy too many things, it will be difficult to carry them on the way."
Chen Shuning didn't want to go, and her mother didn't force her. She told her to rest at home and then hurriedly left.
No sooner had Chen's mother left than Chen Shuning left a note saying she was going out to meet a classmate and then went out as well.
If she remembered correctly, the author had devoted a large portion of the book to describing how Yang Wanqiu's grandfather had hidden all the family's valuables in a dilapidated house at the foot of Red Leaf Mountain in the western suburbs before the incident.
That house was originally built by the Sun family to escape the war. The buildings on the ground were unremarkable, looking like an ordinary farmhouse.
But underground was a different world altogether; the wealth accumulated by the Sun family over generations had been hidden there by Old Master Sun.
Even Yang Wanqiu's mother didn't know about this place. Later, after the incident ended, Yang Wanqiu received her maternal grandparents' belongings returned by certain departments. From the hidden compartment of her grandmother's empty dressing box, she found her grandfather's will and the land deed for that house.
Only then did she learn about the house and how to enter the basement. Together with the already married male protagonist, she retrieved the treasure from the basement, bought houses and land, and the two of them became top-tier wealthy people in Beijing.
Perhaps because the amount of wealth was enormous, or perhaps because the author wanted to provide the female protagonist with an opportunity to get rich, the author's description of the treasure was very detailed, which allowed Chen Shuning to clearly remember the location of the wealth.
Now all she has to do is take the things away before the female lead is aware of the existence of that wealth.
Of course, whether it's moral to take something that doesn't belong to you is not even on Chen Shuning's radar.
The original owner in the book genuinely considered Yang Wanqiu a friend, but Yang Wanqiu took advantage of her trust. Knowing full well that the entire family of scoundrels were bad people, she still schemed to marry the original owner into marrying that scoundrel who had always coveted her. As a result, the original owner was tortured to death by her in-laws less than two years after the marriage.
After returning to the city, he shamelessly used the guise of being a friend of the original owner to obtain many benefits from the eldest brother of the Chen family, who had already achieved some success in the military at the time.
Although those things haven't happened yet, just based on the sinister look Yang Wanqiu gave her at the beginning of the morning, Chen Shuning was confident that Yang Wanqiu would still try to frame her if given the chance.
Therefore, Chen Shuning felt no guilt whatsoever about taking what rightfully belonged to Yang Wanqiu.
After walking for about two hours, just when Chen Shuning felt he was about to give up even with the help of the spatial spring, he finally saw the small courtyard located at the foot of Red Leaf Mountain.
Because there was no farmland to cultivate, there were no other residents around the house; it was just a dilapidated little courtyard standing alone at the foot of the mountain.
Looking around furtively like a thief, and seeing no one else, Chen Shuning hurriedly followed the description in the book and slipped into the overgrown yard.
The dilapidated doors and windows and collapsed walls gave Chen Shuning a strange chill. Although she had received an atheistic education, after experiencing things like spatial abilities and transmigrating into books, it would be hard to convince her not to believe in ghosts and gods and that there were no ghosts in this world.
To minimize the traces of her presence, Chen Shuning slipped into the space, found a black tight-fitting sportswear in the changing room, and changed into it. Then she put on the pair of ugly platform shoes from a world-renowned brand that she had foolishly bought at a high price, with soles at least two sizes too big for her.
