Si Nian comforted them, saying, "Qi Qingqiu and I are sworn brothers, so don't worry. I'm just taking you to see the secret room. If you're not comfortable with that, you can bring someone you trust to accompany you."
The two sisters: ...It would be better not to say that, because saying it will only make people more wary.
The two sisters exchanged a glance and realized that Si Nian couldn't beat them. Xue Chenxi's fighting style was all based on her own experience, without any technique; she just used her punches to hit the weak points, leaving the opponent either injured or crippled. As for Zhu Fanfan, she had practiced martial arts since childhood and didn't take anyone seriously.
Zhu Fanfan didn't care. He was no match for her in terms of fighting skills, and even if there was a drug, it wouldn't escape her nose.
Si Nian patiently explained to them how to enter the secret room and what mechanisms were inside. After leading them inside, he looked at the two large boxes and said, "These are the last precious things in my family. I can't bear to throw them away, but I can't take them with me."
After saying that, she used the key to open it, and found that the room was full of martial arts manuals. The reason she was sure they were manuals was because they were written on them, such as Turtle Breathing Technique and Iron Shirt, but they were written in traditional Chinese characters, which her sister probably wouldn't recognize.
Zhu Fanfan checked them and found they were indeed genuine, so she was very satisfied. She then saw Si Nian open another box and say, "This is a topographical map of our great motherland that my grandfather collected. It also contains details of various regions. If it weren't for us, we probably wouldn't have come back again and wouldn't have wanted to sell it."
If he could sell it, that would be best. If he couldn't sell it, he planned to hide it in his ancestral grave. The Si family has a tradition of collecting the beautiful landscapes of the motherland. Many of his ancestors had traveled all over the country. There are several such collections in the Si family's ancestral grave, so they are not rare. But there are always people who are interested.
Zhu Fanfan looked at it, not understanding, but anyway, the scenery was beautiful: "Let's go outside and discuss this! I want to talk to you alone."
Si Nian understood immediately. Once outside, Xue Chenxi tactfully moved aside. She admired Fanfan's abilities, and if Si Nian really wanted to resort to violence, it was hard to say who would get hurt.
Zhu Fanfan asked directly, "Where overseas are you going?"
Si Nian became wary: "Why are you asking this?"
Zhu Fanfan replied, "I have foreign currency, but only from country M and country Y. You can use this currency if you go to those two countries."
When she investigated the black market, she discovered that the hideout of Er Lengzi and his two accomplices contained foreign currency, mostly in US dollars and British pounds. She felt that their crimes were already proven, so there was no need to add another charge. She took 80% of the foreign currency inside.
It has to be said that the black market is huge; you can find anything you want. No, she has to get Master Xin to take over the black market as soon as possible.
Si Nian was pleasantly surprised. He had exchanged quite a few M dollars on the black market, but the exchange rate was too bad, so he decided to only exchange a little bit and exchange more after he went abroad.
Si Nian said, "I won't take advantage of you. At the current rate, you can just give me the money, but I still want some small yellow croakers."
In the end, Zhu Fanfan not only gave her twenty small yellow croakers, but also a thousand M yuan. The exchange rate for M yuan was over two points, so it was considered a high price. However, Si Nian promised to give Zhu Fanfan a high-level topographical atlas containing information about mineral veins. Whether it was true or not, she would have to judge for herself. Zhu Fanfan thought it was worth it.
Si Nian felt it was worth it even more, because he knew that the government strictly controlled things like minerals, so he wouldn't get any benefits from them.
The house issue was resolved, and I quickly went to the housing management bureau. Although house sales are currently prohibited, it's still possible to do it privately if both parties agree.
After the property certificate was changed, Zhu Fanfan and Xue Chenxi went to the new house to unpack. Si Nian had already packed everything up. There were no personal belongings of the Si family left inside. If there were any, they were unwanted and to be discarded.
When the two sisters returned home, Xue Chenxi insisted on giving the money to Zhu Fanfan. She believed that even close sisters should keep clear accounts, and that being good to family members was one thing, but one thing should be kept separate from another.
Zhu Fanfan was satisfied with her sister's sense of boundaries, and explained that it was a wedding gift from her to her sister, and that she should save the money to live a good life.
As the two sisters were chatting, someone came in. It was a very melancholy-looking young man. The moment he saw Xue Chenxi, his eyes seemed to sparkle with stars. The older sister blushed when she saw him, and Zhu Fanfan knew that this was her future brother-in-law, Qi Qingqiu.
Qi Qingqiu only had Xue Chenxi in her eyes, but her tone was somewhat complaining: "You didn't tell me about such a big thing as buying a house. I only found out from Si Nian. This is our wedding house. I should have bought it. I'll reimburse you for whatever it cost."
Xue Chenxi's facial features were so soft they seemed to glow. This was a far cry from her previous timid and submissive demeanor at the Xue family home, and her aggressive and confrontational attitude after the falling out. She now resembled a woman deeply in love, radiating sweetness from head to toe.
Zhu Fanfan coughed lightly: "There's still a living person here!"
One sentence made Xue Chenxi blush, and also made Zhu Fanfan realize that her sister was in love: "Hello, future brother-in-law."
She's at least 1.78 meters tall, which is considered tall. She has eyes and a nose and looks like a person, but she's rather thin, like Lin Daiyu, delicate and frail. She looks like she has weak lung qi and is gloomy. Isn't she afraid of scaring her older sister?
Qi Qingqiu replied politely, "He'll be my brother-in-law soon, not in the future. I'm taking Chenchen to get our marriage certificate now."
Excuse me, this is his wife. No matter how sour he sounds, it has nothing to do with her. Chenchen talks about his sister all the time, and he's been jealous for a long time. Chenchen and he have been secretly dating. They are clearly dating, but it's like they're having an affair. He's been unhappy about it for a long time.
Zhu Fanfan knew that her sister's hard work had finally paid off and that it was time to celebrate. However, she had absolutely no trust in men. She had seen too many men who abandoned their wives after becoming successful, and countless stories of sweet romances ending in a messy marriage. She didn't understand, but she respected it. She told her sister to get a divorce whenever she was unhappy, and that she could support her sister.
Qi Qingqiu said, "After we get our marriage certificate, let's invite your maternal grandparents and sister to have a meal together. It's just my mom and me in our family, so let's keep it simple. What do you say?"
He works as a junior staff member in the municipal government. His salary isn't much, but it's enough to support his family. He even inquired about jobs and heard that the propaganda department of the cannery was hiring. He used his connections to get a spot and planned to surprise her that night.
Zhu Fanfan didn't want to eat dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection), so she went home and told Xue Chenxi to give her a key. She had just sent a message saying that she would have someone move her things out in a while. Xue Chenxi gave her the key without saying a word.
After watching the two walk away hand in hand, Zhu Fanfan went to the secret room to retrieve the items and returned directly to the Fu family home.
Just as she entered the door, the phone rang. After answering it, Sister Xu saw Zhu Fanfan and said, "Fanfan, it's for you."
Zhu Fanfan was curious; she didn't know many people here, so who would be looking for her?
