Chapter 71 : Collect some interest

When Yun Siying arrived at the Youth Courtyard at six o’clock, there was a bicycle parked in the yard. It was the one Shu Chengzhi had ridden yesterday. The three of them mother and son sat under the shade of the trees in the yard, enjoying the cool breeze. The atmosphere was very warm.

Shu Ruxue saw Yun Siying come in and showed a provocative smile, as if flaunting her success. The two teeth that had been knocked out were now filled. It seemed Shu Chengzhi had gotten the money.

Yun Siying ignored the three of them and opened the door to start cooking. Shu Chengzhi brought two wild rabbits to her and handed them over: “Make more food. Ruxue, Mom, and I will have dinner with you tonight.”

Yun Siying ignored him and did her own thing. She didn’t take the wild rabbits he offered and treated him like air.

Seeing her son treated this way, Tang Lingxue was furious. “Yun Siying, you ungrateful person. I raised you all these years, and now you refuse to cook a meal? What’s more, you enter a man’s room at will? You have completely ignored all the education we gave you for over ten years. You’re heartless! You watched Ruxue die without helping her and ignored your brother. You really ruined the reputation of our Shu family.”

Yun Siying frowned, annoyed, and said, “Aunt, who are you? Do you want me to show you the letter of severance of engagement for you to review? So don’t use any favors to morally blackmail me. I have nothing to do with you, and you can’t blackmail me.”

Seeing Tang Lingxue’s face darkening, she smiled brightly and said, “Besides, I have no morals, so you can’t blackmail me.”

Tang Lingxue didn’t expect Yun Siying to dare speak to her this way. She used to act coquettishly and softly toward her, sharing good things with her as soon as possible. Since Ruxue came home, she had slowly changed, but as long as she was given a little warmth, she could be happy for a long time.

Except for Ruxue, who was cautious to please the family and whose eyes longed for their care and recognition, now there was only indifference in her eyes.

“If I had known you were so ungrateful, despising the poor and loving the rich, and disrespecting your elders, I should have stuck you in a urine bucket when you were a child.”

Yun Siying looked at Tang Lingxue with cold, sharp eyes, feeling sorry for the original owner to have met such a mother. Fortunately, she would never have to hear these stabbing words again.

A murderous aura surged around her body. Tang Lingxue was so frightened she immediately closed her mouth and her face turned pale. Shu Ruxue trembled all over, hiding behind Tang Lingxue, feeling as if a sharp blade was at her neck, ready to take her life at any moment.

Shu Chengzhi, a soldier who had been on battlefields and killed many enemies, was afraid of the murderous aura radiating from her body. Looking at her in disbelief, doubts began to form in his heart. Logically, she had never been to a battlefield or killed anyone, so how could she have such a strong murderous aura? Even his grandfather didn’t have such a strong murderous aura.

Yun Siying looked at their expressions and instantly retracted the murderous aura. “You still have time to make trouble for me? Now everyone in the village knows that your good son is hugging Li Yanyan and acting like a hooligan. I don’t know if the Li family will let him off.”

“However, Li Yanyan is Shu Ruxue’s adopted sister. You will definitely love her and make her a closer relative,” Yun Siying said with a malicious smile.

“No… Is she telling the truth?” Tang Lingxue panicked. She really didn’t want Li Yanyan to become her daughter-in-law. She didn’t seem outstanding and didn’t fit with their family.

“Mom, I’ll go out and ask around.” Shu Chengzhi hurriedly went out. This was related to his future and the safety of his family. Their family’s political enemies were watching closely. If those people found out about this, they would definitely take advantage of the situation.

After a while, Shu Chengzhi returned, his face looking grim. When it was time to finish work, the Li family came, and Tang Lingxue and her son also went to the Li family’s house.

Yun Siying kept paying attention to the Li family after the three left. Sure enough, the Li family demanded Shu Chengzhi marry Li Yanyan.

Shu Chengzhi used the excuse that Li Yanyan was not yet eighteen, so they could get engaged first and marry after she turned eighteen. But the Li family firmly disagreed, insisting the marriage happen during this period to establish a de facto marriage.

After returning to the capital, they asked the Shu family to hold a wedding for Li Yanyan, and her eldest brother, Li Mingqiang, would attend the wedding in person.

Sure enough, three days later, because it was the autumn harvest and everyone was busy, the Li family didn’t hold a banquet. Instead, Li Yanyan and Shu Chengzhi handed out wedding candies door to door. That day was their wedding day.

Some people went to Li’s house to watch the two swear under portraits, becoming revolutionary partners. The funniest thing was on the wedding night, Li Yanyan gave Shu Chengzhi a drug to help him perform sexually, and the two successfully consummated the marriage.

The night before the Shu family mother and son left, Li Yanyan and her parents stayed in the room together for a long time before coming out, their faces somewhat solemn.

If Yun Siying had been paying attention to them at that moment, she would have discovered a huge secret. Unfortunately, after Shu Chengzhi and Li Yanyan had consummated their marriage, she stopped watching them.

After Shu Chengzhi and Tang Lingxue left, Yun Siying immediately put the 100 yuan they had given to Shu Ruxue into her own space. Thinking about the original story, Li Yanyan didn’t marry Shu Chengzhi but fell in love with Shen Subai, which caused many misunderstandings between Shu Ruxue and Shen Subai.

It seemed that with the help of this little butterfly, Shu Ruxue was sent to the countryside a year earlier. The Li family had a new plan, but the idea of using the Shu family to rise to the top remained unchanged.

That night, after everyone in the Youth Educator’s Courtyard had fallen asleep, she quietly left and came to the Li family’s house, easily climbing into the yard.

She released her mental power, covering the entire Li family’s property, including the toilet and vegetable garden. She found 20,000 yuan and ten gold bars hidden in the wall of Li Gang’s house. Tsk, this Li Gang was really something. Yun Siying put them into her space without hesitation.

She also found 3,641.7 yuan in the box, as well as several cloth coupons, meat coupons, and sugar coupons, which she also stored in her space. No other gold, silver, or money coupons were found. But the cloth, tobacco, alcohol, malted milk, canned food, peach cakes, rice, white flour, and bacon in the cabinet were all put into her space. After finishing everything, she returned to the Youth Educator’s Courtyard.

Nangong Ruochen noticed Yun Siying open the door the moment she left and even walked to the window to watch. After seeing Yun Siying had gone out, he struggled with his thoughts but then stayed still in the room.

However, she returned in less than ten minutes. He was puzzled and fell asleep while thinking about it.

“Ah! Where’s my money?”

Li Gang, who was smoking a pipe in the yard, heard the scream and immediately got up and ran inside. He saw Xu Ziying frantically searching the box but still couldn’t find a single penny.

“What happened?” Li Gang asked unhappily, looking at her anxious expression and hurriedly inquiring.
