Chapter 36 : Hidden Treasures in the Warehouse

But even these ordinary items were enough to elevate an ordinary family to the top of the world’s wealthiest people.

After all, the gold, silver, and jewelry were piled up everywhere.

It could be said that even if she closed her eyes and spent carelessly every day, she couldn’t possibly squander all of this wealth.

Su Ranran found it hard to believe that Li Xueqiu had squandered so much in her previous life, yet the couple barely managed to become the richest people in the country.

Clearly, Yu Zhengjun became the richest man on his own, without Li Xueqiu’s “help,” in the first life, and it wasn’t that difficult.

And yet, Su Ranran had a mountain of gold in her hands, and they were still struggling to start a business.

Unable to make sense of it, Su Ranran decided to set it aside for now. With a shift of her consciousness, she returned the items that seemed to have been looted back to their original place on the shelves.

As for the things Li Xueqiu had stolen, Su Ranran placed them in a corner, intending to deal with them at the right moment.

Fortunately, Li Xueqiu hadn’t been in this warehouse for long, and there was nothing in this era she could squander. Apart from clothes, jewelry, food, and meat, she hadn’t had time to waste on other things.

Not long after, Su Ranran finished tidying up the warehouse.

She also found the money and bills that Li Xueqiu had stored in the warehouse.

Upon counting them, Su Ranran discovered more than 12,000 yuan and a variety of bills, which were exchanged on the black market using the items from the warehouse. The jade had originally been hers, and Li Xueqiu had exchanged her belongings for money, so naturally, Su Ranran couldn’t let her keep it.

Fortunately, other things weren’t valuable these days, only food and meat could be exchanged for money.

Otherwise, Su Ranran wasn’t sure how much damage would have been caused.

After cleaning up, she didn’t sit idle. Instead, she immediately controlled a harvester in the warehouse to collect the mature rice from the space. You don’t realize how vast it is until you start harvestin, it was shocking!

The rice fields in the entire space were more extensive than those in Shuiqiao Brigade. Without a harvester, Su Ranran didn’t know when she would have been able to harvest it all. But even with the harvester, Su Ranran felt overwhelmed when she harvested half of it!

She didn’t dare to continue, so she stored the harvested and threshed rice directly in the warehouse. Since time stood still in the warehouse, the rice wouldn’t spoil even if it wasn’t dried.

After finishing all of this, she fell into a deep sleep and didn’t even realize when Shen He came back.

When Shen He returned home, it was already dark.

The county agricultural bureau had listened to both sides and finally decided to harvest in advance.

As expected, if there had been a drought, early harvesting wouldn’t have resulted in much loss. But if it had been a rainstorm, they would have faced both natural and man-made disasters.

Chen Shuangxin’s face immediately turned as dark as the bottom of a pot. But no one paid attention to his feelings. After all, it was better to be safe than sorry.

Several experts from the province were placed in a guesthouse by the county government, and Shen He drove the tractor back to the team himself.

After running around for a day and collecting a lot of straw heads, he should have been exhausted. But at that moment, he not only didn’t feel tired he felt full of energy, as if he had been injected with a burst of energy.

Thinking of the water his wife had given him earlier in the day, Shen He could no longer stay calm.

What on earth was that?

Shen He didn’t suspect it was some kind of contraband. After all, he had seen smokers at the border before, but they didn’t act like this at all.

From the day before yesterday until now, he had clearly felt that his hidden injuries had healed significantly. If he had to describe it, he felt more like he had been given some kind of tonic soup. And she gave him this miraculous thing twice without any hesitation.

With mixed emotions, he hurried back home.

But at this time, the Shen family had already fallen silent. As soon as he approached his room, Shen He could hear Su Ranran’s steady breathing from inside.

After a brief pause, he gently pushed open the door.

As the door creaked open, faint moonlight streamed into the room through the gap.

Bathed in the moonlight, Shen He saw her sweet sleeping face on the bed. She was sleeping peacefully, completely defenseless, and even the sound of him opening the door couldn’t wake her.

It was clear that she had no guard against him.

Looking at her soft, pink, and white face, Shen He couldn’t help but fall into deep thought. The regret and joy she had shown when she cried and said she didn’t want a divorce that day flashed through his mind, as if he was the treasure she had lost and found again.

So, what had happened in the dream?

—

Su Ranran slept soundly, but Li Xueqiu, on the other hand, wasn’t faring well.

Just as Su Ranran had guessed, the jade had not fallen into Li Xueqiu’s hands.

Though the jade was right in front of her, she couldn’t touch it, and she couldn’t sense the space at all. At this moment, Li Xueqiu had completely lost her mind. She knelt on the ground, kowtowing, begging the guards to return the jade to her.

But her frantic behavior scared the people at the Public Security Bureau, and they dared not give her the jade.

Just then, the people from the city’s security bureau arrived.

After learning about Li Xueqiu’s case in detail, they immediately took over the investigation.

“Please, give me the jade!” Li Xueqiu’s voice was hoarse, and her head was swollen, but she seemed to feel no pain. She kept grabbing the small door of her cell.

But who would care about her? They just wanted to stay away from her to avoid being scratched by her madness.

“Don’t you want to know my secret? The jade… It’s a space. There are countless things inside it. I can use them whenever I want…”

Losing the space was too much of a blow to Li Xueqiu. In her delirium, she was unable to distinguish between reality and dream, and was speaking nonsense.

But who would believe such bizarre words?

“Quickly find the captain, Li Xueqiu’s gone mad!”

Can you just create things out of thin air? Even children wouldn’t believe that!

This was overheard by the comrades at the Security Bureau.

Team leader Sun Yongcai snorted coldly and said, “Trying to act mad to avoid investigation? It won’t be that easy.”

Hearing this, Qi Hongyuan couldn’t help but wipe the cold sweat from his brow and responded carefully “She’s very tight-lipped. Our comrades interrogated her for two days and couldn’t extract any useful information.”

After a pause, he handed over the jade he had found.

“This jade was retrieved from the water by a female educated youth in Shuiqiao Brigade. It seems to be an important token. Now, Li Xueqiu is clamoring for it.”

Sun Yongcai frowned as he looked at the jade.

After a pause, he said, “We’ll investigate Shuiqiao Brigade tomorrow.”

Li Xueqiu’s case was too strange.

Sun Yongcai wasn’t a superstitious person. The only explanation he could come up with was that there was something significant hidden in Shuiqiao Brigade.
