Chapter 21: Cleaned Out



Jiang Yanqing was, after all, a half-psychologist, and she immediately sensed that something was wrong with Fang Mingxiao's mood.

She seemed to be suppressing something, pursed her lips, and didn't say anything else.

In the silent space, there was only the sound of each other's breathing. After a long time, Fang Mingxiao spoke in a hoarse voice, "You go back!"

Jiang Yanqing thought about it and realized that they were still strangers after all, so Fang Mingxiao didn't need to tell her any secrets he was hiding.

He stood up, put the medicine in his pocket on the table, and said softly, "This is cold medicine and anti-inflammatory medicine. You should take two pills before going to bed, and take another one when you get up tomorrow. I'm leaving now."

Before leaving, Jiang Yanqing couldn't help but say one more thing, "I'll be back in the city tomorrow. If you need anything, just go to the coal mine family quarters. I'll help you in any way I can."

Given Fang Mingxiao's proud nature, he probably wouldn't come looking for me, but at least he saved me, so Jiang Yanqing was willing to make a good relationship with him.

After Jiang Yanqing left, Fang Mingxiao turned around and looked at the small paper bag on the table, his eyes gradually softening.

Not knowing how long he had been sitting there, the boy slowly stood up, went to the kitchen to get a bowl of hot water, took out some white and green pills, and swallowed them one by one.

He got on the bed, covered himself with the quilt, curled up, and soon fell asleep. The boy's breathing gradually became steady.

On the other side, Jiang Yanqing walked on the bumpy village road, taking one deep step and one shallow step towards the Jiang family. There were no street lights on the rural roads, and only the lights from the villagers' homes on the roadside could barely see the road clearly.

Jiang Yanqing originally had plenty of lighting items in her space, but it would be bad if they were taken out and seen by others.

So I could only stare with my big eyes and look at the road carefully to avoid stepping into a pit.

Jiang Yanqing quietly climbed over the low wall next to the courtyard gate and entered the Jiang family's house. She went straight to the utility room where she lived and listened leisurely to the Jiang family members running to the toilet one after another.

No one would open the door if she knocked, so Jiang Yanqing didn't bother to do it.

They waited leisurely until almost eleven o'clock. Jiang Yanqing was so sleepy while eating snacks and fruits that the Jiang family finally quieted down.

Jiang Yanqing slipped into the space and found a flashlight to wear on his head. The flashlight was almost out of battery, just enough to see something without being too conspicuous. He then found a pair of thin gloves to put on before slipping out of the space.

After waiting for another twenty minutes, when there was no sound of anyone turning over in the rooms, Jiang Yanqing left the house and walked lightly towards the main room.

I had specially put laxatives and sleeping pills in the grilled fish just now. Both of them were very effective. The Jiang family members were almost exhausted from diarrhea and finally lay down. They must be sleeping soundly now.

So Jiang Yanqing also has to take back what belongs to her. As for the original owner's life, if he is still alive, then there is nothing wrong with splitting the pension in half.

But the original owner was killed by the Jiang family, so not a penny of this money can be left to the Jiang family.

After getting the remaining money back, Jiang Yanqing planned to find a big temple, donate some incense money, and pray for the original owner. No matter whether she was reborn or reincarnated, it would complete the fate of the two of them.

After entering the main hall, the old couple's room is on the right. Liu Cuihua controls the financial power of the Jiang family, so all the money and bills are in this room.

Once before, the original owner entered the room to bring water to Liu Cuihua, and saw Liu Cuihua hiding a red silk bag in the bedside table. Liu Cuihua kicked him out and scolded him.

Now that I think about it, it must be money or something important. There are only a few places to hide things in the countryside, so it is not difficult to find.

The old couple suffered a lot tonight. They lay on the bed and were served by Zhou Xiaoqin. After drinking a few sips of water, they fell asleep without even locking the door.

So it was easy for Jiang Yanqing to get in. The two of them were lying on the kang, snoring one after another. Jiang Yanqing glanced around and his eyes fell on the wooden cabinet at the head of the bed.

As I recall, this place should be a rural area in the north, so every household sleeps on a kang, with cabinets on both sides for storing things.

Generally, any good things were placed in the kang cabinet. Jiang Yanqing looked at the two shining locks on the kang cabinet and walked closer to Liu Cuihua.

After looking her up and down, I saw a red rope around Liu Cuihua's neck, and the thing under the red rope was hidden in her clothes and could not be seen.

But Jiang Yanqing had a hunch that it should be the key, so without wasting time, Jiang Yanqing reached out and pulled the red rope out little by little. Liu Cuihua was sleeping soundly and there was no sound at all.

He took the key and opened the kang cabinet. After rummaging through it, he found a tin biscuit box inside, tightly covered. Jiang Yanqing reached out and took it out.

In the light of the flashlight above her head, Jiang Yanqing rummaged through the iron box. There were more than 4,000 yuan in the red cloth bag, as well as some cloth coupons, meat coupons, and sugar coupons.

Among them, 3,500 yuan was the remaining pension for Jiang Lao San and his wife, and the rest was the money saved by the Jiang family itself.

It seems that the Jiang family still has some assets. Jiang Yanqing took out everything in the iron box, left twenty yuan, wrapped the toilet paper with red cloth, and put it back.
