Chapter 89 Rong Family Assets

This was actually a four-courtyard compound, but over the years that Rong Changhua had been demoted, the compound had been rented out to others by some people. The house was too big, one household couldn’t afford it, two households couldn’t fit in, and in the end, it was rented out to forty or so households. A good big courtyard was turned into a big mess. There were makeshift sheds, kitchens, and storage rooms built in the courtyard, with all sorts of roofs.

 The rooms and walls were nailed with nails and pasted with all sorts of things, ruining the house beyond recognition. Qian Xiaolan felt a pang in her heart, “This is too much of a waste of the house!” Rong Changhua sighed, “Hey, it’s not easy to get the house back. Let it be ruined, you guys can renovate it later.” Qian Xiaolan nodded, there was nothing else they could do for now. The old man glanced at the messy courtyard, sighed heavily again, and led Qian Xiaolan all the way to the third courtyard, pointing to a makeshift firewood shed and said to her, “This was originally a rockery, with a fish pond next to it, and there was a secret room under the fish pond, I don’t know if it was discovered or not. These people are amazing, they even got rid of such a big rockery and fish pond.

” Qian Xiaolan was also speechless about this. She turned on the space detection function and checked, and said excitedly, “Grandpa, it’s intact.” Rong Changhua let out a long sigh of relief, “It’s good, it’s good, you quickly collect the things, we’ll go to the next place.” Qian Xiaolan’s eyes suddenly lit up, “Wow, there are more!” The old man proudly raised his chin and said in a low voice, “Our Rong family is a wealthy family for generations! How can we not understand the principle of having many hiding places?”

Qian Xiaolan nodded, collected the dozen or so boxes in the secret room, and also asked in a low voice, “How many more places are there? Can we finish collecting them today?” The old man shook his head, “There are two more places in Beijing, we can finish them today, and there are also five or six cities in Haishi, Suzhou, Guangzhou, etc. I’ll write down the addresses for you, you can find a chance to collect them when you have time, and we’ll find a new place to store them.” Qian Xiaolan nodded in understanding, she was also not at ease to store all the family property in the space. What if the space disappeared one day, then there would be nowhere to cry. Xiaoqi listened to the conversation between the grandfather and granddaughter in the space and snorted coldly, “As if I would covet your little things.” Qian Xiaolan heard it but pretended not to, and followed the old man to continue wandering around Beijing to collect treasures.

After collecting the last place in Beijing, the old man’s eyes kept scanning a courtyard. “Grandpa, what is this place?” Qian Xiaolan was very confused when she saw him like this. The old man said in a low voice, “I once saw the director of the GW Association leading people sneaking into this place.” Qian Xiaolan smirked, gave him a gesture, then turned on the space detection function, and sure enough, there were a lot of things. There were a hundred or so boxes in the entire basement.

Qian Xiaolan frowned, collect, collect, collect! After collecting the things, she pulled the old man away. Back home, Qian Xiaolan and the old man entered the space and opened the boxes, they opened forty or fifty boxes in a row, and inside were all antiques, calligraphy and paintings, ceramics, jade and gold and silver jewelry. She had learned archaeology for some time now, and she had a good understanding of these things.

 These few boxes of things were all genuine, and many of them had been personally collected before. Those people from the GW Association, using their positions for personal gain, had embezzled so many things, truly using their power to seek personal gain. The old man was so angry that he cursed, “Vermin! Vermin! We’ve been so hard up these past few years, it’s all because of these trash!” Qian Xiaolan was afraid that she would make the old man angry, so she quickly soothed him and persuaded him to rest on the bed in the small space. After running around all day, he was indeed tired, so the old man obediently went to lie down on the bed.

 Qian Xiaolan opened the remaining boxes, still antiques were the majority, there were also a few boxes of big yellow fish and silver ingots, and finally, she saw two boxes of various rare books. Qian Xiaolan flipped through them, they were all manuscripts of various masters from different dynasties. Qian Xiaolan wasn’t interested in these, so she put them aside and waited for the right time to donate them to the museum. Now, facing so many boxes of treasures, she was no longer excited, after looking through all of them, she calmly put all the boxes into the storage room. When she was about to leave the space, she received a message from Xiao Jue.

 [Miss, how do you take those medicines?] Qian Xiaolan patted her forehead, took out paper and pen, and wrote down the instructions for using all the medicines she had put on the shelves last night in traditional Chinese characters. Fortunately, the medicines she gave were only large in quantity, not many in variety. Even so, her hand was about to fall off after writing all this.

After putting all the instructions on the shelves, Qian Xiaolan thought for a moment and asked him: [Do you have any medical rare books in your Dayan Dynasty? If not rare books, any medical books will do.] Xiao Jue was thoughtful after receiving the message. A female ghost also needs to learn medicine? Are ghosts so competitive these days? Then he thought about the many supplies Qian Xiaolan gave him, and he shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

 Never mind, at this time, anyone who can give him life-saving supplies is a good person, well, a good ghost. Isn’t she just asking for medical books? Tomorrow he will announce to the world that he will exchange medical books for food.

**At night, the Qian family came home from work, except for Qian Lao Ye, everyone was beaming. Qian Lao Ye didn’t need Qian Xiaolan to ask, he himself said angrily, “These people are too much! I told them I wanted to retire to the south, but they wouldn’t agree, they had to give me some kind of position! I’m so angry! Lanlan, give me more rice, I’ll eat and drink my fill, and then I’ll go have a fight with them.” Qian Lao Ye did what he said, after dinner, he didn’t rest, he went to the homes of several leaders with his hands behind his back and made a round of visits. When he hummed a song and returned home, it was already ten o’clock at night. The few families that Qian Lao Ye had visited quickly gathered together after he left and talked until midnight.

 It wasn’t that they were making things difficult for him, they just didn’t dare to let him go! In the past few years, because of the sabotage of that faction, they had been very difficult, and even many people who were on their side were framed to death. Old Qian had only been back in office for a few months, and he was already talking about resigning, which, to outsiders, looked like he was being ostracized. It was as if they were a group of people who couldn’t tolerate a loyal minister. It was disheartening. But Old Qian was determined to go to the south, and he didn’t want any position, they couldn’t force him, could they? Hey, it’s difficult! After a long silence in the room, a leader said, “Doesn’t Old Qian have a son-in-law in the army? If all else fails, we can do this… and then this…”

 The next day, when Qian Lao Ye went to work, he found that the leaders had softened, but with conditions. They had investigated that Gu Yanqing was very outstanding, and wanted to transfer Gu Yanqing to Beijing for key training. Qian Lao Ye: ??? “What are you kidding? I’m going through all this trouble for my granddaughter, you’re going to transfer my son-in-law to Beijing, then what’s the point of my whole family going through all this?”
