Chapter 266: Live in the Village
The two of them hadn't spoken for a moment when Detective Jin arrived.
"Lotus, which one is Wang Zhi?"
Su He led Wang Zhi forward.
"Detective Jin, this is my brother Wang Zhi. If you don't mind, let him help you."
Detective Jin was very considerate and said a few polite words to Wang Zhi before asking him to leave.
Wang Bin and his companions stayed in the front yard. They found nothing in the morning, so they went to search the main house in the backyard in the afternoon. Su He and his companions were responsible for the front yard.
"Sister, how do we divide it? This house is so big. How long will it take us to search it all?"
Wang Liang was a little worried. After Wang Zhi left, there were only four of them left.
"It's okay. They have searched these places several times. We are just going through the motions. We won't be too late. Divide into two groups and start from both sides. Let's just have a competition. Whoever finds the thing I will give him a fruit tree."
Wang Bin's eyes lit up, "Sister, I want that apple tree."
"I want the peach one."
Wang Liang also raised his hand.
"No problem, let's get started."
Wang Bin and Wang Liang went together, while Su He took Liu Bai to search on the right side.
"Lotus, I took some time yesterday to visit your two farms. One of them was occupied and looked like a family."
Su He looked at Liu Bai in surprise, "You went to see it so late yesterday? This farm was owned by the former manager Zhou. The day after tomorrow we will take He Lao Da and He Lao Er with us. I don't see who dares to stop me."
Su He led Liu Bai to start searching the house. Every room was empty, with only ordinary tables and chairs inside, so they finished searching one room very quickly.
"Xiaobai, can you fly up to this beam?"
Liu Bai understood what Su He meant. He took two steps back, stepped on the pillar a few times and went up.
"See if there's anything you can hide."
Liu Bai searched carefully but didn't find any mechanism. Su He was not discouraged. She had already made a lot of money in the morning, and not finding anything didn't affect her mood.
When they arrived at the second room, Liu Bai flew up directly to look for it, while Su He searched on the ground.
There was no second room either. Just when Su He was about to go to the third room, Wang Bin and Wang Liang ran over.
"Lotus, come quickly."
Something's happening! Su He and Liu Bai looked at each other and hurriedly followed Wang Bin.
"Here, Lotus, there's something wrong with this wall. Listen."
Wang Bin knocked hard twice, and Su He felt helpless.
"Brother, you are the ones who take care of my house. I have no experience. If you are sure that something is wrong, let's tear down this wall and see. I will explain to the adults."
Wang Bin scratched his head. He did feel something was wrong, but his sister didn't notice it, so he became a little unconfident again.
"Why not just forget it, Lotus. Maybe I heard it wrong."
Su He didn't want to hear this. Since the divorce, her cousin had become less confident and more decadent. She had to find a way to regain her cousin's confidence.
"How could my brother have heard wrongly? If I say yes, then yes. Liangzi, come with me to ask Madam He for tools. Let's dig up the wall and have a look."
"Xiaobai, look around in this room too. We'll be back soon."
After Su He finished speaking, he pulled Wang Liang and ran away.
Wang Bin was getting anxious. “Xiao Bai, didn’t you build your house? Come and listen to see if it’s wrong. If it’s okay, go and persuade He Hua.”
Liu Bai chuckled, "That's indeed not right, just wait patiently."
Hearing that Liu Bai felt the same as he did, Wang Bin finally breathed a sigh of relief, as if he was no longer nervous when someone stood with him.
After a while, Su He and Wang Liang came, each holding a shovel.
"Lotus, stop it, just give it to me."
Wang Bin grabbed the shovel and shoveled at the white wall.
A quarter of an hour later, everyone was staring at the golden wall in a daze. Su He felt that the gold nuggets he had obtained in the morning were simply insignificant.
My God, how much gold is this?
"Sister Lotus, can we divide these?"
Wang Liang looked at Su He in confusion.
"You are stupid. This is the government's gold. You still want to fight with the officials. You are asking for your life."
Wang Bin still had a trace of rationality left. Although he felt regretful, he was also very happy because this was what he discovered.
"Brother, it was you and Liangzi who found the gold. You are heroes and will definitely get some benefits. Xiaobai, go find Constable Jin and ask him to come."
Liu Bai ran to the main house. Wang Zhi and Wang Bin touched the golden wall, thinking that they could brag about today's experience for the rest of their lives. They saw the golden wall.
"Where's the gold! Where is it!!!"
Su He heard Detective Jin's loud shouts from a distance and had never seen him so energetic.
"Gold, for God's sake, is this gold real?"
Detective Jin stood at the door for a long time before he sighed.
Although Constable Jin's last name was Jin, he had never owned a gold nugget in his entire life. When he saw a whole wall of gold, he ran to the wall and touched it with his hands. He was dazzled by the golden light but was reluctant to close his eyes.
"Detective Jin, should we notify Magistrate Ge and have this house under strict guard?"
Constable Jin was awakened by Su He's words. Yes, the gold must be handed over, and he must quickly notify Magistrate Ge. If something goes wrong in his hands, his life would not be enough to compensate.
"Quick, Xiaozhong, go and find the adults, and then find the brothers who are resting. Xiaoli, watch the door and don't allow strangers to approach."
He Huiru had noticed the noise over there a long time ago and had overheard most of it. She didn't care who the gold was given to. What bothered her was that she would definitely move out soon.
"Chu Chu, we are moving. How about the big house on Central Street?"
Zhou Chuchu was unwilling. "Mom, that house is too big. There are only two of us and six of them including Du Juan. We don't need so many rooms. How about we go to Qingshan Village? I like Sister Hehua."
"But it's too far from the city. Can you get used to it?"
He Huiru was still thinking about finding a husband for her daughter, but now that they were in a remote village, how could she find one? It was impossible to find a peasant.
"I would rather live in the village than in that shabby and expensive house on Central Street. Why don't we go ask Sister Lotus if she has any vacant houses?"
Seeing that her daughter wanted to go so much, He Huiru gritted her teeth and left the flower hall to find Su He.
"Mrs. He, do you want to live in the village?"
Su He was very shocked. Didn’t she say before that she wanted to stay in the city?
"Yes, Lotus, is there any vacant land near your home? I want to buy a few acres to build a house. We don't have anywhere good to go at the moment. Besides, as you can see, I estimate that I will move today."
After saying this, Su He felt a little embarrassed. It was because they found the gold, and County Magistrate Ge would definitely let them leave early.
"Okay, you can live in Qingqing's house. She's getting married in a week. The house is empty and can be rented to you temporarily. However, during the day, the front yard will be lent to the children in our village for study."
Wang Qingqing had said a month ago that she wanted to give the house to Su He, but Su He refused.
Su He thought that it would be okay to let He pay some money and rent the house for a few months.
He didn't expect things to go so smoothly, and she happily grabbed Su He's hand and said.
"Lotus, if that's the case, I'll have someone rent a carriage now. I want to move all the things in the warehouse out."
Zhou Chuchu volunteered to take the job and said, "Mom, I'll go find Anan. Can we rent a few carts?"
"20. We have a lot of stuff, so maybe it's not enough. If it's not enough, we can rent more."
When Zhou Chuchu heard this, she ran to the door to find Anan. It was already two o'clock in the afternoon. If she delayed any further, she would not be able to go today.
Wang Bin and Wang Zhi couldn't leave, and Su He couldn't leave either, so they had to make arrangements for Liu Bai. "Xiao Bai, thank you for accompanying Madam He and the other two. When you get there, go get the key from Qingqing."
Liu Bai nodded in agreement.
"Madam He, please put all your valuables in the carriage driven by Xiaobai. Xiaobai has martial arts skills and can protect you. Since you are going, you must hurry up. It will be unsafe after dark."
He Huiru thought so too, and she wanted to pack up her things immediately.
"Lotus, I'll go clean up first. I'll deal with the rest when you return to the village."
Su He nodded and decided to go back tomorrow.
"Okay, if nothing goes wrong I'll be back tomorrow. You can take the valuables first today. If you can't move all the heavy furniture, I'll have someone move it to my house first."
He Huiru said goodbye to Su He and left in a hurry.
