Chapter 266 Dad's a policeman, so it's best to leave it to Dad.
"You just told him like that? I wanted to surprise him! Did he think being a father was so easy?" Liu Fengyi glanced at Li Chengsong, who was still grinning foolishly, and said.
That's just how my father-in-law is; he can find fault with even the best son-in-law. If you're as handsome as Pan An, he'll say you attract too many women; if you're calm and quiet, he'll say you're so quiet you can't even fart; if you have money to buy things for your in-laws, he'll say you're just wasting your money…
"I'm already so happy! Father-in-law, shall we have a couple of drinks to celebrate?" Li Chengsong lowered his tone and quickly coaxed her. Although he was her stepfather, he treated his wife like his own daughter and had to treat her with respect.
Liu Fengyi: I am nominally his stepfather, but in reality, he is his biological father!
The original owner, Liu Fengyi, was a tough guy from Northeast China, a heavy drinker! He didn't leave any other marks, just this drinking habit remained in his body. To appease him, you just need to drink with him!
Liu Fengyi's alcohol tolerance has been increasing year by year. His father-in-law, Tong Anfu, doesn't like to drink and only has a few drinks occasionally. Tong Jiahui also dislikes his drinking, so he usually restrains himself. Even if he drinks heavily with his colleagues at work, he will use his internal energy to dispel the alcohol before going home, so as not to make his wife complain.
When Tong Jiahui finished preparing dinner, Tong Yuheng also came out of the space. Li Chengsong really wanted to pick her up and carry her, but with so many people in the house, he was a little embarrassed, so he just kept circling around Tong Yuheng.
Linlang ran back from outside at this moment. They had been arguing with Xiao Zhang to drive them around, and they had just returned. She ran over to Tong Yuheng, but was stopped by her brother-in-law when she got to her.
"Linlang, you two mustn't bump into your older sister!" Li Chensong said nervously.
"I told you! My brother-in-law would definitely think we're naughty and might hurt his baby!" Yulin said to Yulang.
"My brother-in-law will prevent us from getting close to my older sister in the future, as if we're so ignorant! You don't trust us!" Yu Lang said with dissatisfaction.
"Hmph! I don't like you anymore!" The two girls said in unison, running back to their rooms.
A little while later, the two little girls returned. Yulin held a small object in her hand and put it into Tong Yuheng's hand, saying, "Big sister, this is a gift we gave to the baby."
Tong Yuheng glanced at the slightly deformed, blackened lump of iron in her hand and realized it was a small gold ingot! Ever since she began cultivating mystical arts, she had become very sensitive to the things around her, and she sensed a faint trace of resentment swirling around this object.
"Linlang, do you know what this is? Who gave it to you?" Tong Yuheng used magic to dispel the lingering resentment and asked the two little ones.
"I know, it's gold! It's all in your dowries!" Yulin replied.
"We found them when we were digging for rabbit holes on the mountain. There were exactly seven of them. We'll give one to each of the older sisters' babies!" Yulang said, explaining where the items came from.
"Did you find it when you went up the mountain during the flood? Did anyone else know?"
Li Chengsong took the small gold ingot and examined it, his expression gradually becoming serious. He looked at Tong Yuheng, whose expression also turned grave; they were thinking the same thing!
This might be what the mute old woman and her companions were looking for! According to them, there wasn't just gold and silver treasure there, but also a lot of biological weapons and gun ammunition! It's too dangerous!
"Mom said people can go bad for gold, even committing murder and arson, so we didn't dare tell anyone." Linlang was a little scared; had they done something wrong? Should they keep the money and give it to Dad?
The song goes, "If you find a penny, hand it over to the policeman." Dad is the policeman, so handing it over to Dad is the right thing to do, right?
Thinking this way, the two of them did just that, running back into the house to get the remaining items, but placing them in Liu Fengyi's hands. He was very pleased with himself, thinking, "See? My daughter still trusts me the most, doesn't she?"
The little gold ingots are about the size of quail eggs, and there are seven of them, just enough for each of the seven older sisters' babies. They probably don't fully understand the value of gold and silver yet, only seeing them as toys, and certainly not imagining the potential risks involved.
Back then, when they arrested the mute old woman, her daughter, and the spies on this line, they knew they were looking for something the Japanese had hidden before their surrender, but they had never found it. Unexpectedly, a clue appeared today.
At the time, Tong Jiahui only knew that they were spies who had been arrested, but she didn't know the specifics. However, Liu Fengyi had participated in the operation, and he understood how dangerous what those spies were looking for was! The two younger daughters were lucky; they only found gold and didn't encounter any biological weapons—thank goodness!
"Do you two still remember where that rabbit hole is?" Seeing that her sisters were scared, Tong Yuheng quickly spoke to them in a gentle tone.
"I remember, we can take you there. Big sister, is there a problem with this?" The two blinked their big eyes, seeking an explanation.
"There's a problem. They've been buried underground for many years, and there's a lot of dirt on it. Just washing it isn't enough. Don't collect strange things in the future. If you encounter a situation like this, ask your parents to check if there's any danger first..."
Tong Yuheng didn't hide what happened back then. She told her two younger sisters about how their family had been targeted by the mute old woman, and what they learned during their interrogation after being arrested. The small gold ingots she had were likely some of the valuables that the Japanese soldiers had stolen from the people and hidden away.
The two little girls said, "Those Japanese devils are so hateful! Sister, shall we look for those dangerous things now?"
"After your older sister, father, and brother-in-law discuss what to do, they will definitely ask for your help. You've done a great job this time. But you can't just randomly take things from places anymore. What if you get bitten by a snake?"
"Oh, we understand!" Linlang nodded immediately.
Tong Yuheng: You agreed readily, but you two just never learn your lesson!
Liu Fengyi called Tong Yuheng and his wife to another room to discuss the matter, and he lost his appetite.
"This is very important, Chen Song, you should report this to your superiors!" Their county public security bureau doesn't have the resources to cordon off the entire mountain and excavate it. Besides, he's too old to be promoted; the credit should go to his daughter and son-in-law.
He was also worried that the information might be leaked during the reporting process, giving enemy agents an opportunity to sabotage. Sometimes, the locals were curious and even had a侥幸心理 (a gambler's mentality) to dig for treasure. If people from the surrounding villages all came out, the few officers in the Public Security Bureau couldn't control them, and in the end, they would have to ask the nearby garrison for help.
There are biological weapons there, it's very dangerous!
