The security department and the factory office searched Qian Dabiao's home and found deposits and high-end goods that far exceeded his income, further confirming his guilt.
This incident became known to everyone. Liu Xuechao was personally watching over it, and the higher-ups also expressed their high attention. The amount involved was too large, so the punishment came out quite quickly.
Qian Dabiao was bound to be shot, and his wife Jiang Xi not only knew about it but did not report it, she even took the initiative to help him conceal it and was sentenced to be sent to the Northwest for reform.
Sun Laiyi, who had been secretly paying attention to the Qian family and was waiting to happily embrace a new life, was dumbfounded.
She just wanted to get a piece of the pie, who overturned her table?
Sun Laiyi hurriedly asked someone for the inside story, but the people in the conference room were all management, and the ordinary workers did not know the details. They only heard that Qian Dabiao was discovered and arrested while destroying evidence.
She suspected that it was because she pushed too hard, and the butterfly flapped its wings, which led to Qian Dabiao being exposed and caught early. The situation was different from that in the previous life.
This road is no longer viable, she must think of other ways.
…
When He Ruixue learned that Sun Laiyi suddenly went to hang around a deserted hut, apparently to scout the area, he realized that it was time for him to take action.
On her day off, Wang Taozhi was washing clothes in the yard. She came over and said, "Sister-in-law, did you know that Sun Lai Di is a widow?"
"How could I not know? Humph, that drunkard is a piece of shit, he deserves to die! The old Sun family is almost going crazy, dreaming of finding her."
"Looking for her, I didn't see her family caring so much before she got married."
"Hmph, you think Zhou Erya cares about her daughter, but she cares about the things her husband left behind. I heard that the dead man's house was sold. Sun Lai Di ran away without a trace. She's been cursing in the yard every day these days. Her words are so vicious that I can't tell the difference between her cursing at an enemy."
"I think I saw Sun Lai Di."
"Really? Where?"
"I saw her near the grain station where He Xiaojie works. She seemed to be looking for someone to exchange food with. She must live nearby."
Wang Taozhi nodded, "I heard that her food supply was not transferred, so she had to find someone to replace it. Don't you think Sun Lai Di is pitiful? She became a widow after only a few days of marriage. She insisted on running away with someone, and look at what happened to her now?
Everyone in the courtyard is saying that she has a bad fate, that she brings bad luck to both her father and husband. If she hadn't married early, Old Sun would have been killed by her too."
"This is all superstition. Even you believe it?"
She grabbed the clothes and rubbed them on the washboard for a few times. "Whether I believe it or not, there are always people who believe it. Zhou Erya thinks it's true. She has been secretly burning incense and praying to Buddha these past two days, and she wants to make a little man to stab Sun Lai Di to death.
Tsk tsk, if I hadn’t seen her get pregnant and give birth with my own eyes, I would have thought her daughters were all picked up and how could she treat them so badly.”
He Ruixue chatted with her for a while, and when she glanced sideways, she saw that Sun Jinbao, who was playing marbles next to them, had stopped playing and his eyes were rolling around. It was obvious that he had heard their conversation. He smiled lightly and went back home.
Not wanting to make things complicated in the evening, she picked some green vegetables from the yard, stir-fried them, then took out the sweet and sour pork ribs and steamed buns that she had packed from the canteen, and ate them slowly while sitting at the table. She couldn't always eat at her eldest brother's house.
Well, actually it’s because my sister-in-law doesn’t like to use oil or salt when cooking. She can’t get used to eating too plain food, so she wants to cook for herself occasionally.
…
Early the next morning, several members of the Sun family went out in a big way to look for Sun Lai Di. They passed by the nearby streets several times and contacted people from the street office to ask every household. Sun Lai Di was so scared that she hid in the temporary rented house and dared not go out for fear of being caught.
He Ruixue rode her bike to the place Fang Wanggui told her yesterday. The treasure spot was located in a shack built by residents when there was a housing shortage more than ten years ago. Later, it was abandoned after housing control and half of it had collapsed.
Only half of the wall was left supporting the house, and several broken wooden frames were crisscrossed and piled in the middle of the house, covered with dead branches and leaves. There were similar houses in clusters nearby, making it an inconspicuous but good place.
He Ruixue cleared away the scattered broken wood and branches, took a stick and kept knocking on the ground, when she suddenly heard a strange sound somewhere.
She used the small shovel she brought to dig the soil. After digging about a foot deep, she touched a layer of oilcloth. When she pulled it aside, she found a rough pottery jar with a big mouth.
Without touching the jar, she used a branch to open the wooden lid. On the top was a stack of rolled-up banknotes, all of which were brand new big black tens, totaling fifty.
Then came the more precious tickets such as sewing plane tickets, watch tickets and foreign exchange coupons, with silver dollars at the bottom. Thirteen small yellow croakers gleaming with gold were stacked at the very bottom, each weighing a standard one or two ounces, which was about thirty grams when converted according to the old scales of the Republic of China era.
After emptying the jar, she also took out a pair of gold bracelets and a ruby ring. The gem cutting technology of this period was not very good, but it still could not conceal its clarity and beauty.
Compared with the real thing, the more the gem looks like a fake, the more valuable it is. The one in front of you can be compared with the fake glass gems of later generations, and can be sold for tens of millions at an auction.
Even if she had some wealth in her previous life, she still couldn't afford it. She didn't know where Qian Dabiao got the money from.
Trying the gem on her finger, and the moment she raised her hand to the sunlight, He Ruixue suddenly understood why some people describe women as dragons.
She herself has no resistance to glittering jewels and gold, and is extremely domineering. Once she sees them, she will be obsessed with moving them back to her nest and even want to sleep in them.
After storing all the items in the system space, filling the excavated soil back in, flattening it with his feet, and then restoring the scene, He Ruixue walked back with a happy face. At the right time, the system sent good news -
