Chapter 30 : The Jade Must Have Been Taken by Su Ranran

Gao Fangxia, who had no idea that she had unknowingly helped Su Ranran earn a good reputation, showed off her “achievements” to her mother-in-law as soon as she returned home from work.

She slowly rolled up her sleeves and trouser legs to reveal the rice hidden inside.

The rice in both sleeves and trouser legs amounted to a handful.

“Mom, look at how good I am. I passed by the scorekeeper, and he didn’t even look at me. The daughter-in-law of the Lin family was so silly, she piled up so much all at once. Who else should I stop if not her?”

Hearing this, Pan Shuifang could only shake her head helplessly. Her daughter-in-law was good in every way except for her tendency to take advantage of the public.

“You! Be careful not to embarrass yourself if you get caught!”

Pan Shuifang poked her forehead and glared at her.

Gao Fangxia chuckled, “Mom, don’t worry. In all these years, have you ever seen me get caught?”

The others in the Shen family: …

Shen Yue couldn’t bear to watch.

“Can’t you stop doing such embarrassing things? Our Shen family doesn’t lack food for you.”

As usual, he criticized her again.

But Gao Fangxia had grown used to it and acted like a dead pig that wasn’t afraid of boiling water.

Anyway, she felt uncomfortable all over since she wasn’t allowed to bring things back. It felt like she had been cheated. Didn’t everyone else do the same? And she wasn’t the only one!

Only the Shen family was so honest!

Knowing they couldn’t argue with her, the others were too tired to say anything. Only Shen Yue suddenly thought of something and said to his wife, “Wife, go cook some sweet potatoes today. The sweet potatoes yesterday were really delicious.”

Maybe his wife had really gotten the hang of it, and everything she cooked tasted good.

Hearing this, Gao Fangxia didn’t refuse.

The sweet potatoes yesterday were indeed delicious. Even people like her, who didn’t usually like sweet potatoes, had eaten several.

And Su Ranran, the only one who knew the truth, couldn’t help but remain silent.

If she followed the army in the future and there was no space water in the water tank, would they still be able to get used to it?

“Eldest daughter-in-law, how do you feel? You’re not feeling uncomfortable, right?”

After the second daughter-in-law left, Pan Shuifang turned to Su Ranran and asked.

“Mom, I’m fine. I want to harvest rice in the afternoon.”

Su Ranran wasn’t sure if it was because of the space water she had drunk, but she felt very healthy now. If she weren’t pregnant, she would have wanted to try lifting two buckets of water.

Upon hearing this, Pan Shuifang immediately felt as if she were facing a great enemy, fearing that Su Ranran might hurt herself.

Although harvesting rice didn’t seem too hard, it was very tiring to bend over all the time. No matter how much Su Ranran persuaded her, Pan Shuifang refused to let her harvest rice.

She also suggested that if Su Ranran felt bored, she could go pick up snails and feed the chickens.

Su Ranran: …

Did she think she was a fragile doll? But when she heard that she could pick up snails, she was shamefully moved again.

“Pick up snails! Pick up snails!” Xiao Doudou said, shaking her trouser legs.

The other children were also eager to try, but they were discouraged by Pan Shuifang’s nervous chatter.

“You guys pick up rice ears for me. Whoever picks the best will get an extra egg when we come back.”

Two chickens had laid five eggs today. Except for the one given to Su Ranran yesterday, Pan Shuifang planned to cook the remaining four so the workers could enjoy a good supplement.

When the children heard they could eat four eggs today, they were thrilled. They clapped their hands and jumped in excitement, forgetting all about catching snails.

Shen He still hadn’t returned by the time the sweet potatoes were cooked at noon.

Su Ranran didn’t think too much about it, but silently started planning where they should move the valuables at home if it rained. The rice in the space had become more and more mature, and the air was filled with a faint fragrance of rice.

Su Ranran habitually walked around in the space, and eventually focused her consciousness on the warehouse. Before she even got close, she noticed that the lotus warehouse, which was originally jade-colored, now had a faint pink glow.

It looked more and more beautiful and enchanting.

Su Ranran peered into the warehouse and saw that nothing inside had been touched. Not even the snacks or bread had been taken.

It was clear that Li Xueqiu was in a bad situation. She was likely being watched around the clock.

Otherwise, how could she not have managed to get some food?

After all, food in this era was neither delicious nor oily.

And Su Ranran’s guess was correct.

Li Xueqiu, who had been recaptured, was now under heavy guard. Not only was she locked in a special cell, but guards were stationed there day and night.

There were three doors alone, and it could be said that without heavy weapons, she couldn’t escape!

But Li Xueqiu didn’t care where she was locked up. After another failed attempt to control the weapon, she was completely panicked. Not only had she lost the lotus jade, but now she had also lost control of the space?

Thinking about this, she rushed to the iron door again in a frenzy, slamming both hands against it!

“Open the door! Let me out!”

She wanted her lotus jade back!

If she had never had it, maybe Li Xueqiu wouldn’t be as crazy as she was now.

But she had had it before, and after realizing how incredible the space was, losing it again had driven her almost to madness.

“Let me out, I have money, I have 10,000 yuan! If you let me out, I’ll give it all to you!”

As long as she could get her lotus jade back, what was the cost of 10,000 yuan?

When the guards at the door heard that she had 10,000 yuan, they also became nervous. You have to understand that the salary these days was only 20 or 30 yuan a month, and it would take a long time to save up 10,000 yuan.

Who would believe that she was innocent?

“Go find the captain,” one of the gatekeepers said to the other.

“Okay, keep an eye on her, she’s very tricky.” The door lock had obviously been pried open with pliers the previous night.

But where had she gotten the pliers?

And where had she gotten the flour to throw at them so quickly after she escaped?

All of this was just like the pork she ate every day, there was no explanation.

Unless she confessed.

“What, she really said she has 10,000 yuan?” In the office, Qi Hongyuan suddenly stood up, looking visibly shaken.

This was 10,000 yuan! Where had she, a rural girl, gotten it?

“It’s true, she said that if she’s released, she’ll take it out immediately.”

Although the woman seemed crazy, they didn’t dare to take any chances.

“Let’s go and see!”

Qi Hongyuan gritted his teeth.

It would be better if he didn’t find out that she had really colluded with foreign forces, or else she would soon know why the flowers were so red.

In the cell, Xiao Qin had managed to calm Li Xueqiu down without making a sound. He used words to try and extract information, to see where she had hidden the money. But she appeared insane, though her mouth was tight, refusing to divulge anything.

“The money is in Shuiqiao Brigade. No one can find the place where I hid it. If you want it, I’ll take you there.”

Li Xueqiu stared at the dark door.

Her jade must have been taken by Su Ranran!

Thinking of how she had been deceived by just a few words at the hotel that day, she became even more convinced that the jade must have been dropped there.
