Chapter 32 The Old Master Guo possesses a treasure left behind by the Manchu nobles.
This person is either incredibly bold or has powerful connections. These valuables were hidden under her own bed, in the cupboard compartment, and in the stove hole. Without any suspense, she found them and took them all!
Feeling unsatisfied, he simply put the man to sleep by pressing his pressure point and left him in the yard.
The acupoints will automatically release after two hours. They won't freeze him to death, but they will make him seriously ill. Let's see if he still has the energy to single-mindedly mess with people!
After taking revenge on the two men, Tong Yuheng continued tidying up the house. Over the past few days, she had gotten to know most of the villagers, using the money and coupons she had to exchange for pots, bowls, jars, and earthenware pots that she needed for the household.
However, she didn't have time to deal with these people. When someone came, she didn't say much, and she interacted with the aunties and older women politely but distantly.
When people heard that she was an educated youth sent to the countryside, they lost interest because educated youth didn't know how to do farm work and had a lot of chores. They all wanted to find a hardworking and beautiful wife for their nephews and nieces.
However, as for educated youth, forget about it.
She overheard a bit and learned that the villagers didn't like the educated youth very much. They disliked those young people for being too troublesome, all talk and no action, and all talk and no action!
Tong Yuheng didn't want to have much contact with the educated youth in the village. She just wanted to protect her family and keep them safe until the end of the movement. As for the rest, she would leave it to fate.
Four or five days later, Tong Yuheng left Chenjiatun. That day, after Li Chengsong helped her deliver her things, he came back once more to give her her return train ticket. He also brought her the certificate and bonus she received for catching the spy on the train.
The prize money was 500 yuan, and Li Chengsong gave her his share as well. He received a second-class merit award, and the team he led received a third-class merit award. It's perfectly reasonable for the young lady to get a bigger prize!
Tong Yuheng was unaware of these things, and even if she had, she wouldn't have been so polite; her contributions deserved such rewards. By the time they found the bomb, it would be too late, and she wouldn't feel guilty accepting the money.
Before leaving, Tong Yuheng secretly went to his maternal grandfather's house again, leaving them a lot of supplies and spring water, saying that they would see each other again after the New Year. His maternal grandfather and uncle and aunt were saddened by this, but his little cousin was very happy, hoping that someone would play with him.
Tong Yuheng also left some tickets for the brigade leader's family. These were all collected from Qian Chuanzi, and they were local tickets that would expire in a month or two. They could use them to buy some things they needed for the New Year.
She not only gave Zhang Limin's family tickets, but also secretly left them a bag of potatoes and a bag of rice with husks on. The rice in her space was ripe and harvested, but she didn't have time to pound it, so she gave them the rice with husks on.
When Miao Sanfeng went to the kitchen to cook dinner and discovered the grain in the corner, Tong Yuheng had already boarded the train back to Yanshi.
When the train arrived at the station, it was a little after four in the morning. Tong Yuheng didn't tell her family the exact time she would be back. She strolled home, figuring she'd arrive around dawn, by which time her younger sisters would be starting their morning exercise.
Sure enough, the younger sisters did not slack off. Under the guidance of their second sister, Yuyao, they practiced boxing and running every day, holding their heads high and persisting in doing their own thing despite the strange looks from others.
Linglong has matured a lot since her abduction. She's been especially diligent in her martial arts training. Her eldest sister has set a good example for them; they'll be doing farm work in the future, and they need strength to do it. Besides, they'll be protecting their younger sisters in the countryside!
Seeing their eldest sister return, the younger sisters ran over and hugged her, jumping and skipping with joy. Seeing her eldest daughter's return, Tong Jiahui quickly called for the younger ones to step aside so her eldest could go inside and rest for a while.
"Mom, I'm not tired. Everything's arranged over there, and everyone at home is fine, just waiting for us to come!" Tong Yuheng reported the good news but not the bad.
"That's good, that's good! You should eat something and get some sleep. You've been traveling all night, how can you not be tired?"
"I'm not tired at all. You guys go and exercise, come back for dinner later!" Tong Yuheng wanted to speak with her mother alone, so she sent the younger children away.
"Are your grandparents really alright? I had a dream the day before yesterday about my mom. She kept crying and saying that our Tong family line was about to end! Did something happen to your cousin?" Tong Jiahui couldn't help but shed tears.
Tong Jiahui: Grandma even appeared in my dream? That's a bit fantastical, but in the original book, wasn't the Tong family destroyed and wiped out by someone?
"No, no, Yu Chen is fine except for being a little thinner. It's just that my aunt was injured when she was being criticized and denounced. I gave her some medicine, and she's alright."
"Guiping is injured, but what about Jiaming? The women were all beaten, was he beaten even worse?" Tong Jiahui felt very sorry for her younger sister-in-law, and of course, she felt even more sorry for her younger brother.
"He wasn't seriously injured, no internal injuries. My aunt was injured while trying to shield him from the stick. But she's fine now. You'll see her when we get there, I'm not lying to you!"
Tong Jiahui looked at her eldest daughter suspiciously. Knowing her personality, it was impossible for her not to retaliate. Had she secretly put a sack over someone's neck and ambushed them? Those people deserved to be beaten, but wouldn't that implicate her father and the others?
Tong Yuheng: Hehe, I did all of this. I can't just keep bottling up my anger!
"How's everything been at home these days? Have those people been giving us any trouble?"
"What trouble could they possibly cause? I've stopped working! Fan Yaqing came twice, but I didn't let her in. That girl used to seem nice, but I never expected her to be so malicious. Good things never come from bad bamboo!"
"Ignore them. I'm preparing some things I need these next few days and will send them over first. There's really nothing in that house..."
Fan Dayong's wife has already been sent to a farm in Northwest China for reform through labor, and he is currently under quarantine for inspection, so he is naturally behaving himself. Fan Yaqing, affected by her mother's situation, spends most of her time staying at home and doesn't go out.
She came out and immediately set her sights on the Tong family. Who gave her the confidence to do that? The two families have fallen out like this, how can they still be friends?
Fan Yaqing hated her so much she wanted to bite her to death, but when she remembered what her mother had told her before she was sent to the countryside, she made up her mind to fight Tong Yuheng to the death.
Her mother said that the patriarch of the Guo family had a treasure left behind by the Manchu nobles. She heard this news from that spendthrift Guo Qirun.
After Old Master Guo passed away, it was Tong Anfu who saw him off at the end of his life. The secret of that wealth most likely remained in the hands of his eldest son. Their family valued their daughter, Tong Jiahui, highly, so by getting close to them, the wealth wouldn't escape!
Sun Xianglan didn't even tell her husband about these things. She told her daughter that it was because her daughter was like her, good at hiding her true intentions and ruthless! In five years, she would be able to get out and take over the Tong family's wealth. Then they would go to G City and live a life of luxury as rich wives!
Fan Yaqing didn't know that Tong Yuheng wasn't home. She went twice but was stopped at the door by Tong Jiahui and scolded by Yuyao. Today, she finally mustered up the courage to come again and finally ran into Tong Yuheng who was about to leave.
