Chapter 62

Li Yuechan looked at the items in front of her. There were three boxes of gold bars, and she couldn’t help but feel a bit reluctant to take them all. It would be nice to keep some!

She picked one box of gold bars and stored it in her space. She quickly checked her space and furrowed her brow.

“Wow, the space is getting bigger and bigger. One box of gold bars only made it expand by 20 acres?”

Hurrying, she ran into the villa and found the entrance to the basement. Her heart skipped a beat, and she hurried downstairs.

She took a quick look around; there was only one floor below. With a determined bite of her teeth, she took two boxes of gold bars from her space and tossed them in. Then, she saw it.

She burst into laughter. The basement now had three floors! It was perfect!

After leaving her space, she remembered the spiritual spring water. She had tried to expand it a few times before, but it hadn’t worked. She hoped it might have grown this time.

She walked to the back of the villa and gasped. The spring water well had expanded to the size of a normal water well. Looking down, she saw the clear water at the bottom. Wow, this is amazing, this is really worth it!

She took the rest of the calligraphy and paintings from her space and stored them away.

Then she exited the dry well and turned toward the second floor.

She saw a woman sitting in the living room downstairs, knitting a sweater. Li Yuechan sneered, Knitting sweaters is such a luxury these days!

She strolled around the first floor, finding nothing of interest, and quickly made her way upstairs.

The second floor only had one room. She inspected it thoroughly but didn’t find anything valuable. She didn’t want to risk making a mess and drawing attention.

When she reached the last room, she was surprised to find the door locked.

Quickly, she took out a master key from her space and, with a click, unlocked the door.

Li Yuechan took a quick glance inside. It appeared to be a study.

She flipped through some of the books on the shelves but found nothing of interest. Then she checked the desk drawer, and to her surprise, it was also locked!

“Hey, what kind of secret does this place have? Multiple locks?”

She took out the key again and opened the drawer, her eyes widening as she looked inside…

Meanwhile, Li Jianguo had taken the morning off and was riding his bicycle toward Da Huaishu Village.

He had to talk to his mother face-to-face since the phone call didn’t make things clear.

“Hey, Son, you’re finally back? Your daughter is unbelievable! She even broke my thermos!”

“Mom, what have you done? Xiao Chan is already suspicious of me!”

Huang Hehua’s eyes shifted quickly, “What else could I do? I was just thinking about this family. I thought if the fat water doesn’t flow to others’ fields, then when she marries Xiangdong, the dowry would go straight into our pocket. It’s better than letting it go to someone else!”

“Mom, the problem is that you didn’t get it done, and now I’m being suspected!”

“Hey, you little brat, now you’re blaming your mother? I did this for you! Your daughter even had me in a chokehold. I don’t even know what she did to me, but I couldn’t say a word!

Your dad was so scared, he thought I had become mute!”

“Ah, that happened too?”

“Of course! The whole family saw it!”

“Last night, Xiangdong just ran off. The little brat doesn’t even know where he went. Your sister-in-law’s been causing a scene about splitting up the family. I have a headache over this.”

Li Jianguo furrowed his brows, “Mom, Xiangdong has always been sensible. He won’t have gone too far. He’ll be back in a few days. But as for what I told you before, think of another way!”

“Ah, Son, I really don’t know what to do anymore. Your daughter is too devious! Oh, and she even scammed me out of 300 yuan. You’ll have to pay me back!”

“What? 300 yuan?!”

“Son, you absolutely have to pay me back for this.”

“I don’t have that much money right now.”

“What? You don’t have it?”

“Then what should I do? I don’t care, you have to pay this money.”

“Alright, alright, let me think of a way. As for that girl, you must handle it, or I’m not paying the 300 yuan!”

“Son, aren’t you making things hard for your mother? Oh, by the way, how’s your second brother’s job negotiation going?”

“It’s all settled. They offered 800 yuan!”

“What? 800?”

“Mom, that’s for a position at a food factory, you know that. Food factories are a sweet deal.”

Huang Hehua thought for a moment, gritted her teeth, and went back to her room. A while later, she came out with a small cloth bag and handed it to Li Jianguo.

“Here’s the 800 yuan. You have to help your second brother with this.”

Li Jianguo opened the cloth bag, counted the money to confirm it was 800 yuan, stuffed it into his pocket, and said:

“Don’t worry, Mom, I’ve already spent quite a bit on other things. Since it’s for my second brother, I won’t make a fuss about it.”

“Alright then.”

“Mom, you have to keep an eye on that girl. I’m giving you two months. Otherwise, I’m not paying the 300 yuan.”

Huang Hehua looked at her third son riding off on his bicycle, her face filled with worry. She muttered to herself, Why am I always so unlucky?

Meanwhile, Su Lizhen stared blankly at a rabbit and a chicken in the kitchen, feeling numb.

She furrowed her brow and asked, “Did you go to your grandmother’s house yesterday, and cause trouble again?”

“Ah, Mom, don’t ask. You know what I’m capable of, right? My strength’s been increasing lately. You don’t believe me? Look!”

Saying that, she picked up a small stone and crushed it with her hand. Powder fell out!

Su Lizhen’s mouth hung open in shock, but she quickly shut it and began preparing dinner.

“You’re not going to prepare just one chicken?”

“No, I’ll finish them all.”

Su Lizhen thought for a moment and agreed. “Alright, just the two of us for lunch. We won’t finish it all. Later, we can send some over to Gu Zhingxi.”

“Got it, Mom.”

“Aimei, I just saw that little girl again!”

Yang Aimei immediately stood up. “What? She dares to come back?”

“Aimei, you should be careful. Last time, we got into big trouble with her!”

Yang Aimei sneered, “I’ve already done my research. That little brat’s dad is just a small department head at a steel factory, and her mom’s a textile worker. What’s she so proud of? With her background, she thinks she’s someone special?”

Hu Daling quickly agreed, “Exactly, exactly!”

Because of the last incident, Hu Daling and Yang Aimei had been at odds for several days. It took Hu Daling a lot of effort to smooth things over.

Yang Aimei clenched her fist. After the last incident, her father had scolded her harshly. Today, I’m going to teach that girl a good lesson!
