Qin Jianye's method of diverting attention was very effective. The people on the ox cart started talking about getting married and simply left him aside.
Qin Jianye was not angry either. He listened happily and occasionally said a few words to add fuel to the fire.
Qin Siyue gave him a thumbs up, thinking that her father's character was truly amazing. She also wanted to learn from him, never waste time internally, and always put herself first.
The car swayed for an unknown amount of time before finally arriving at Qingshan Brigade.
Qin Jianye hummed a little tune and strode home. As soon as he arrived at the door, he met Chen Sijun's resentful eyes: "Uncle~~~"
Qin Jianye touched his nose guiltily and took out a piece of chocolate from his pocket: "Uncle bought some candy, Xiaojun, do you want to try it?"
Chen Sijun snorted, not wanting to pay attention to him. After a two-second stalemate, he grabbed the chocolate and ran off: "Grandma, my uncle is back!"
The old lady came out of the house and cheerfully poured water for the two of them. She also asked, "Are you done with your work?"
Qin Siyue nodded: "Well, my father was busy for a long time and finally got it almost done. It depends on the situation. I may have to go there again.
Grandma, this is my dad’s wages.”
Qin Siyue took out five dollars and tried to trick Qian Guihua.
The old lady happily took the money, glanced at it several times, and then gave it back to Qin Jianye: "How can you let that little girl carry so much money? Aren't you afraid of losing it?"
Qin Jianye smiled innocently: "The thief probably thought so too."
The old lady choked and was a little unhappy. Qin Jianye quickly took out a bag of peach cakes from his pocket: "Mom, don't save it. I'll buy you more after you finish eating!"
Smelling the sweet fragrance emanating from the oil-paper bag, the old lady was panicked and angry: "Oh my, you are a spendthrift. You should keep the money you earn in your pocket. You can't spend it as you please."
Qin Jianye turned a deaf ear and looked around: "Mom, where is my wife, and Da Ya and Er Ya?"
"Everyone's gone to work. They'll be back soon! You and Chouya go back and get some sleep. I'll call you when they get back."
Qin Jianye nodded and went back to the house with his daughter to rest. They took off their outer clothes that had been rolling around on the train, washed up briefly, and then fell asleep one after another.
After Chen Yunwei came back, she did not wake up the father and daughter. She sat cross-legged on the kang, fanning herself and reading a novel.
The old lady prepared the meal and sent Chen Sijun over to call for help. Chen Yunwei simply left the room quietly, leaving the meal for the father and daughter.
Zhao Dandan, a sharp-witted person, immediately asked, "Why did you come back so early today, Third Brother?"
Chen Yun smiled and said, "I'll be back naturally after I finish my work. I've been very tired these past few days."
Zhao Dandan's eyes rolled. "Third brother, can you make ten dollars on this trip?"
The old lady banged her chopsticks on the table and said, "What are you dreaming of? You're doing hard labor, and you're lucky to get three or five yuan. You're asking for ten yuan. Do you think you're a worker or a leader?"
Although Qin Jianye wanted to hide his going out from himself, the reality was that he couldn't hide it at all. With more than a dozen people in the family, wouldn't it be obvious at a glance if anyone was missing?
So I found an excuse to work, and my family knew about it, but I kept it a secret from everyone else. I was afraid that others would find out and take over my job.
"Okay, eat quickly, we have to go to work soon."
Zhao Dandan smiled and picked up a piece of mushroom with chopsticks, not angry at all: "I wonder if my third brother brought any rare things for his wife when he came back this time."
The old lady rolled her eyes at her: "You're not taking advantage enough!"
After a cheerful meal, Chen Yunwei asked someone to help her take leave.
Zhao Dandan was not convinced, and even Li Qiao looked peculiar. But the old lady said, "If you have the guts, ask your husband to pay the bills too. Five dollars a month, you can go to work if you want."
Zhao Dandan didn't have the capital to do that. She glared at Qin Jianjun angrily and went back to her room to rest.
Li Qiao looked at Chen Yunwei enviously and said nothing.
Chen Yunwei didn't mind the attitudes of her sisters-in-law at all. She said goodbye to the old lady and went back with the food. She put the piano on the kang and continued reading.
As for Chen Sijun, the little guy was full of energy and couldn't sleep at noon, so he and Qin Jinbao were hiding in the corner, catching ants and playing!
Suddenly, Qin Jianye opened his eyes, looked at the familiar house, and was in a trance for a moment.
Then he stood up, called out "wife" in surprise, took her hand, and whispered about his gains.
Chen Yunwei nodded happily: "My dad is so powerful?"
After the father and daughter left, she did try to enter the space, but it was like there was a barrier blocking it, and she couldn't get in. She could only take things and put them down, and she had to know the exact location.
"Of course, that's what my father-in-law is!"
Qin Jianye gave a thumbs-up and told the story in a vivid and exciting way. "If it weren't for the hint in the letter, even with the tools, I wouldn't have been able to find the secret room so quickly. Let alone others."
Yes, most people would try to find the entrance to the secret room. But what Mr. Chen did was practically weld the secret room to the ground.
And the secret room is so far from the entrance, more than ten meters away, if there is no clue...
Thinking of this, Qin Jianye suddenly came to his senses: "No, no, that secret room is not under that house at all. No wonder!"
"No wonder what?"
"No wonder Director Cheng hasn't found anything even after occupying the house for so long. It seems he was going in the wrong direction from the beginning."
Director Cheng of the Revolutionary Committee may have dug around in the house, but he couldn't find any clues, so he took advantage of the accident happening to his brother and sister-in-law to force the old man to take action.
Unexpectedly, the old man would rather die than tell him about the family property, causing all his plans to fail.
Even the accident that happened to Chen Yunwei's brother and sister-in-law might have been the work of Director Cheng, whose purpose was to get the legendary hidden property of the Chen family.
Of course, all of this was Qin Jianye's imagination, without a single shred of evidence. So he only spoke superficially, leaving Chen Yunwei stunned.
"Director Cheng, what does he do? Why does he occupy my Chen family's house?"
Qin Jianye picked out what he could to tell the other party: "Director Cheng is the director of the Revolutionary Committee. Time is tight, and I sneaked out, so I didn't get to know the details.
However, residents nearby said Director Cheng often stayed there for hours, not cleaning the yard and not letting anyone stay there.
"He must be coveting the treasure of my Chen family."
Qin Jianye thought so too.
Chen Yunwei continued, "Maybe my father, my brother, and my sister-in-law were all killed by him.
This is how it is written in novels: when people are forced into a desperate situation, they can either pay money to avoid disaster or use the treasure in the secret room so that the villain will notice their movements and catch them all in one fell swoop.
That Cheng guy is such a piece of shit, he's completely heartless just for a few bucks!"
Qin Jianye nodded, but lowered his voice: "It's more than two cents!"
Chen Yunwei's curiosity was aroused, so she immediately lay down on the kang, closed her eyes and entered the space.
"Oh my god, why are there so many boxes!" The space was already crowded enough, and now there is really no place to step.
