"Yinyin, whether our family can live a good life depends on you. If you can get that thing, not to mention two hundred, two thousand, or even more wealth, our family will become rich, and you will be the hero of our family." Xu Ziying took a few bites of food, and while Shu Ruxue was still immersed in that warmth, he continued to flatter Shu Ruxue and gave her affirmation.
"Mom, don't worry! I will write to them often, telling them about the hardships of life in the countryside and asking them to send me more money." Shu Ruxue was filled with confidence when she heard Xu Ziying think so highly of her. Her younger sister and brother were not at home, so she was the only one eating with her parents. There were meat and eggs on the table, which seemed to be specially made for her. She was immediately more touched and was also thinking about how to return to the city as soon as possible to get the lotus jade pendant.
"Well, you urge them first, and find a chance to go back and search the entire Shu family carefully. If you can't find it, report it! Your brother's brother-in-law from the Yue family is in Beijing, and you can go and search for him with a legitimate reason then." Li Gang's eyes dimmed, and he was very eager to get the jade pendant. The motherland was already urging him, as it was said that it was the key to unlocking the Chen family's treasure.
In the late Qing Dynasty, the Chen family was extremely wealthy, but as the country fell, their wealth was gradually gathered together and hidden in a secret place that only the direct bloodline knew the location. The only direct bloodline of the Chen family was Chen Wanyan, Shu Zhisheng's deceased wife Chen Wan.
However, it seems that the Shu family does not know Chen Wan’s true identity, nor does they know about the Chen family’s treasure.
"Dad, I will try my best to find that thing. Can you please not report the Shu family?" Shu Ruxue had been in the Shu family for half a year. She was addicted to the love that family showed her. She didn't want to lose their love, the love that she couldn't get from her parents.
"What? You want to be their daughter, you don't care about me and your mother, and you don't care about the future of our family." Li Gang's eyes turned cold in an instant, and he looked at Shu Ruxue sharply.
"Dad, I didn't. I'll do whatever you say." Shu Ruxue was most afraid of Li Gang showing such an expression, which made her feel like she was on the verge of death.
"It's good to know. Otherwise, you won't be able to bear the consequences." Li Gang's expression softened, but his tone was still threatening.
"Mom and Dad, I'm just worried that something might happen to Yun Siying, so we'd better marry her off earlier. Nangong, the educated youth from the educated youth courtyard, has grown up with her, and maybe he will take her with him when he returns to the city." Shu Ruxue suppressed her fear and terror and changed the subject. She couldn't stand Yun Siying and didn't want to see her being dragged into the quagmire.
"You saw what happened that day. She's not someone who can be easily manipulated and controlled." Xu Ziying said as he took a mouthful of rice. In his mind, he was thinking, it would be easy to get her to marry. If soft tactics didn't work, he would use hard tactics to prevent the money on her from falling into their hands.
Shu Ruxue took a look at her parents' expressions and knew that they took the matter to heart. She smiled with satisfaction, ate another bowl of rice, and returned to the Youth League Institute leisurely.
"Zhigang, call your third brother tomorrow and tell him that I am seriously ill and ask him to come home as soon as possible." Zhang Fengying said, looking at her youngest son. Zhiqiang is her most promising son, but since he was injured last year, the Li family has been delaying the wedding date and even canceling the engagement, and he has become taciturn.
"Mom, why are you planning to trick my third brother into coming back?" Xue Zhigang's mind flashed with Yun Siying's beautiful little face that was glowing white. When he heard his mother's instructions, he thought of his third brother's marriage with the Li family.
"Zhigang, Shu Ruxue has a strong background. If you can win her over, you won't have to worry about food and clothing in the future. You might even get a stable job." Zhang Fengying looked at her beloved youngest son and gave him advice.
"Mom, I will try my best." Xue Zhigang knew that his parents doted on him and would try their best to satisfy whatever he wanted. Therefore, his brothers at home were not close to him.
He was not good at working, nor was he good at studying. His mother suggested it to him, and he thought it was feasible. If he could really marry Shu Ruxue, he might be able to settle down in Beijing in the future.
The eldest son Xue Zhiguo and the second son Xue Zhiqi were both married. When they heard their mother's words, they knew her plan. After all, everyone in the village knew that Yun Zhiqing had a huge sum of money.
Xue's first and second sisters-in-law did not say anything. Since their mother-in-law was a calculating person, they would also be able to take advantage of any benefits she got, so they were looking forward to it with joy.
Yun Siying, who went to bed early for a nap, had no idea of the Xue and Li families' plan for her. At this moment, she had already fallen asleep. When Yun Siying heard the bell, she put on her clothes, got out of bed quickly, washed up, carried her water bottle and followed the educated youth to the fields.
Walking out of the Youth League Courtyard, Shu Ruxue looked at Yun Siying's brisk steps and felt unhappy. She quickly came behind her and looked at her clean and white hands. I was jealous and said, "Some people just avoid work all day long, and now they walk so easily."
Without hearing Yun Siying's reply, she continued, "Look at her white and tender hands, she must be lazy and evading labor."
Shu Ruxue saw that Yun Siying hadn't responded yet, so she called out her name directly: "Yun Siying, I'm talking about you?"
"Oh, are you done? If not, keep going. I can hear you." Yun Siying looked back at her calmly and said, then continued walking forward. Shu Ruxue felt like she had punched a cotton ball.
"Lin Zhiqing, look, this is your partner. You are the only one doing all the heavy work, and she is avoiding labor on the side. You can't cover up for her and let her continue to make mistakes." Shu Ruxue still held on tightly.
“Shu Zhiqing, it’s not your turn to interfere in the matter between Yun Zhiqing and me.” Lin Zikang, who was already listless, became angry instantly when he saw her wanting him to fight for her in such a high-sounding way.
"You, you are so ungrateful. I'm standing up for you, but you don't appreciate it. Humph!" Shu Ruxue was almost mad. What was so charming about Yun Siying that made everyone side with her?
Why didn't she let herself be bullied and controlled like before, making her as miserable or heartbroken as she wanted? It seemed that after being whipped that time, everything seemed to be out of her control.
Arriving at the field, everyone continued to do the work assigned to them in the morning. Yun Siying continued to repair the chain for a while as she did in the morning. She did not urge Lin Zikang to do the work for a while, but followed his progress slowly.
