Crossing 70: Fish in the Pond Have Good News

Chapter 354: Evil intentions

"Okay, then you can buy a house in S City, G Province, or the capital of Z Province. The land in those places is very valuable. If you have enough money, I suggest you buy the land and build a factory directly. Whether you rent it out or wait for it to be acquired later, you will make a profit." Xue Li had no other way to help Jiang Yu, so he could only tell her this was the easiest way to make money.

Buying a house is making money, but the prerequisite is that you have the money to afford it.

Jiang Yu nodded. She didn’t know how much those things in her space were worth. If there were no other changes later, she could naturally use those things to accumulate wealth, but if... Jiang Yu still wanted to see the specific situation. For example, among those baskets of things, some of them must have come from the Yi family, and she was also considering the issue of returning them.

It is hard to say whether the owner of other ill-gotten gains can be found, mainly because of the relationship between her and Yi Chi. This matter must be laid out and made clear, otherwise she will not be able to use it in the future, which may easily lay a mine for this relationship.

If, if one day the reputation of the Yi family can be restored, or Yi Chi's identity as one of the five black categories is no longer a problem, Jiang Yu wants to hand over the jewelry to him to deal with. These are treasures accumulated by his family, and there may be items that are of extraordinary significance to him. As for the money, it should be difficult to calculate, so she plans to give him half directly.

And the remaining part is enough for the ginger fish.

The two talked about some things in the team, and Xue Li mentioned the small path.

Zhuang Mingde and Yang Lijuan remarried, but after the news spread, it didn't even cause a stir in the brigade.

Why? Because everyone knew that if Yang Lijuan wanted to maintain her original stable life, she had few options.

Among them, Zhuang Mingde not only knows her well, but there are no elderly people in his family. Once they remarry, they can live a simple life as a family of three. He is the one with the best conditions, so choosing him is a wise choice.

Because she remarried Zhuang Mingde, Yang Lijuan quickly packed up all her things at her parents' home and moved into the large blue brick and tile house at the entrance of the village.

Xiaolu went from being called a burden and a little bastard by his brothers and sisters to being cared for by his stepfather. He once again felt what human nature is.

Xue Li thinks Zhuang Mingde is a scumbag, but Yang Lijuan is not a good person either. It’s just a pity that Xiaolu is a child. He is so young, but he has experienced so many hardships. I don’t know if he will be affected too much and become a pervert.

When Jiang Yu heard her say this, he nodded immediately and said, "Of course it will. It depends on whether the abnormality is benign or malignant." However, Jiang Yu guessed that it was malignant because the root of this village was corrupt.

"What a tragic fate." Xue Li shook his head, but agreed with Jiang Yu's conclusion. "Come to think of it, I'm really curious. What secrets does this village have? Have you heard anything?"

Everyone knows that Jiangyu has sharp eyes and great ears, so it’s definitely right to ask her this question.

Jiang Yu's brows twitched slightly. She did have some guesses, but without any evidence, so she was a little hesitant whether to discuss it with Xue Li. After all, this was inferred from Yi Chi's experience, and it sounded too pitiful and like she was trying to gain sympathy.

"Haven't you heard of it? That's really strange. I always feel that they have a secret." Xue Li didn't notice Jiang Yu's entanglement and made random guesses. "Do you think it's possible that they did something bad together? For example, during the Anti-Japanese War, or after the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was because they did something together that they became grasshoppers tied to the same rope. Doing good things will never have this effect. What do you think?"

"I can only say that I suspect it has something to do with the Yi family." You'll have to observe more on your own. Jiang Yu could only help her get started.

Xue Li slapped her thigh suddenly, "Don't say it, don't say it!! It is indeed possible. Look at the things Yi Chi gave you. It is obvious that it was given by an old businessman who had accumulated a deep foundation over the years. But now there is no trace of it. It is hard to say." Her eyes lit up. This was indeed a direction. What if the whole village was jealous of someone else's wealth and started burning, killing and looting? It was very likely to happen in an era of unstable order. What's more, in the later period, wealth was a murderous knife.

Jiang Yu picked up the cup to drink water and turned up the volume of the radio. At the moment she did this, she heard the sound of someone approaching outside.

"Shh." Jiang Yu raised a finger to ask Xue Li to shut up.

Xue Li stared with his big round eyes and covered his mouth.

Jiang Yu pointed outside.

Not long after, two bird calls were heard.

Xue Li groaned silently, then pricked up her ears and began to listen to the surrounding sounds. She wanted to turn off the radio so that she could hear more clearly.

But Jiang Yu stopped her, saying it would be strange to turn off the radio now.

The next moment, the door of a room in the backyard was opened, footsteps were heard, and someone walked towards the front yard.

He walked through the alley, passed by the girls' room, then took down the bolt on the door and walked out.

Jiang Yu waited until the two people outside walked away before he regained his attention. "He Chongwen has left."

"You can hear that too?" Xue Li was surprised. She could only hear which room's door was opened and closed, but how could she tell which one it was?

"Isn't that obvious? It's the door of the room opposite you that opened, not the one opposite me. Because of the different positions, the sounds coming through will be slightly different." Jiang Yu felt that this was still easy to distinguish.

Xue Li clicked his tongue twice, "Yu'er, I'm telling you, do you really not want to join the army? With your physique and great strength, if you can't become a soldier king, I'll stand on my head and eat shit!"

“You don’t have to be so harsh.” Jiang Yu smiled. Eating shit while standing upside down was indeed a bit harsh. “But I’d rather forget it. My personality is not suitable for being a soldier. I’m too impulsive.” How can a soldier who doesn’t obey orders be considered a good soldier? He is a black sheep.

Xue Li felt a little sorry. After all, being a soldier these days is a good way to get ahead as long as you have the ability. "Okay then. But then again, what is He Chongwen going out for?"

"He knows the man in the cowshed, the young man." Although Jiang Yu didn't go out very often, she had seen them talk more than once. Although she was a little confused, she didn't care about other people's affairs.

"Ah?" Xue Li looked as if he realized it. It could be a coincidence. Maybe Teacher He Chongwen came here from the countryside. It's not impossible.

"That young man has evil intentions," said Jiang Yu.
