Chapter 51 With so many demons and monsters eyeing them, it's no wonder their family is having
Tong Anfu knew that at this time, there were many who would kick someone when they were down, but few who would offer help in their time of need. Everyone knew that going against the G Committee in order to send down the personnel was not a wise move.
"We have to give it a try. We can't just sit here and wait to die, letting those bastards in Yan City and even G City scheme against us!"
She remembered a scene from the original book where Guo Qirun gambled and used drugs in Hong Kong, squandering his entire fortune. So she set her sights on him, her older brother.
He disguised himself as a patriotic overseas Chinese who could donate machinery and foreign exchange to the country, and with the backing of reactionary forces abroad, he secretly contacted a G committee leader in Yanshi, and ordered people to interrogate and beat the old man in order to find the wealth of those Manchu remnants.
And the person who was instructed to do it was Qian Wenyi! Sun Xianglan, who knew some information and had some connection with Guo Qirun, also instigated the Fan family to commit murder for money! Everything matches the descriptions left unfinished in the original book!
This event is about to happen this summer, but it's unclear whether her time travel will bring about any changes. Is this a world within a book, or a parallel world in some universe? The more Tong Yuheng thought about it, the more confused she became, her thoughts becoming increasingly unclear.
On second thought, who cares about the world? Right now, she's surrounded by a group of living, breathing people, and those deep and genuine feelings are real. So, protecting her loved ones is the most important thing for her right now!
Guo Qirun and a leader of a certain G committee in Yan City are both the hidden masterminds behind the scenes. The person in the G committee should be Fan Dayong's superior's superior, because based on Fan Dayong's suspicions and reports a couple of years ago, he would have approached Fan Dayong to act as his henchman, hoping to uncover the large amount of treasure that those people believed the Tong family was hiding.
That Sun Xianglan is probably not simple either; she should have some connection with Guo Qirun. Could there be some shady relationship between them? But Sun Xianglan is already in a labor camp! What trouble could she possibly cause? Maybe it's just that scheming woman, Fan Yaqing, pushing the plot forward?
Sigh! With so many demons and monsters eyeing them, it's no wonder their family is having a hard time!
Thinking about all this, Tong Yuheng suddenly had a very bad feeling. She felt that something must have gone wrong and the plot was being corrected to go back to the original direction.
How could this be allowed? This old lady transmigrated here to change her own and her family's fate. She absolutely will not allow the original female lead to hide among a bunch of sycophants, wielding power and causing her family's ruin!
Fan Yaqing is indeed doing quite well now. Ever since Tong Yuheng's family fled Yan City, her life has become much smoother.
She only found out the next morning that the Tong family had moved. It was because there were so many things going on at home, and she hadn't expected Tong Jiahui to have such great courage.
She should have thought of this when she brought her friend's child to take over her job. But what about their family's assets? Are they just going to abandon them all?
Fan Yaqing had visited the collapsed old house of the Tong family. The courtyard, which was not large to begin with, was littered with broken bricks and tiles, and no one had cleaned it up, making it look even more desolate.
Isn't there still one room that hasn't collapsed? The courtyard wall is also intact. Could there be some kind of underground secret room or something?
She went to the neighborhood office hoping to buy the Tong family's old house at a low price, but was told that the owner of the house had said it was not for sale.
The owner of this house is not Tong Anfu, nor his son or daughter, but his eldest granddaughter, Tong Yuheng!
Fan Yaqing was almost furious. This Tong Yuheng was her nemesis. Anything she wanted to do would be impossible if she encountered this brat!
Tong Anfu was sent to the countryside, but Tong Yuheng wasn't. She was the daughter of a martyr and a sent-down youth who voluntarily went to the countryside to support rural development. Who could sell the house under her name without her consent?! Isn't that illegal?
A while ago, someone from the Public Security Bureau came and said that everything about the Tong family should remain as it is, and that their neighborhood committee had no right to buy or sell the house.
The neighborhood committee is not short of smart people. They saw that the house had collapsed, and the Tong family's daughters and granddaughters didn't even come to see it, which shows that they didn't care about the dilapidated house.
But this girl surnamed Fan has an unusual enthusiasm for this house. Could it be that there is something really good here?
After all, they had heard rumors that Fan Eryong wanted to marry Tong Jiahui and live off her childless family.
As a result, people would often "visit" the old Tong family house in the middle of the night. Sometimes, when the neighbors came out to use the toilet, they would see a dark shadow appearing, which was quite frightening!
They went looking for good stuff, but of course, they came up empty-handed. However, rumors spread that the Tong family's old house was haunted, but no one dared to say it openly; it was all discussed in private.
As time went on, the rumors became more and more fantastical, and everyone started walking around the yard. The grass in the yard grew taller and taller, and it really did have a bit of a "haunted house" atmosphere.
Fan Yaqing didn't manage to get a house at a bargain price, but while trying to find out about the situation inside the government compound, she accidentally met a young man there.
The young man accidentally bumped into Fan Yaqing, who was hiding around a bend, while riding his bicycle. He took her to the hospital to treat her abrasions, and they gradually became acquainted.
The young man's name was Zhang Minghai. He was also from a military compound and was very naive. He was captivated by Fan Yaqing's deliberately cultivated gentle and artistic demeanor, and the two began dating.
Zhang Minghai took her to gatherings with some young people from the compound, and through this, she made many connections. Zhang Minghai often gave her gifts and invited her to meals, and now Fan Yaqing has become the envy of many people.
When school resumed after the winter break, a third of the students were gone. Fan Yaqing also returned to school. With her boyfriend Zhang Minghai backing her up, no one laughed at her anymore because of her family's recent scandal.
Tong Yuheng learned of this from Chen Liying's reply and thought to himself that the female protagonist in the original book really had a halo! There were always all sorts of men rushing to do things for her and being good to her!
I wonder if they know that they are just stepping stones for her to reach higher places? If they did know, would they still be so willing to give everything for her?

Let's go back to the third day after Tong Yuheng's family settled in Chenjiatun.
Perhaps the villagers knew their house wasn't ready yet, or perhaps it was because they were distant from everyone, or perhaps everyone was busy preparing for the New Year, but no one came to chat or visit. They were happy to have some peace and quiet and continued with their morning exercise as planned.
Led by Tong Yuheng, the family began dismantling the large kang (heated brick bed) in the east room. This kang was two meters wide and eight meters long, and it was made of adobe bricks.
This brick house was built over thirty years ago by the landlord, and the kang (heated brick bed) was also built then, and it's still quite flat. However, there's nothing left on the kang; the bare bricks are exposed.
Tong Yuheng prepared a trowel and a wooden hammer. Starting from the edge of the kang (heated brick bed), he loosened the bricks one by one by tapping them along the seams. The rest of the family carried them outside the yard.
Unexpectedly, dismantling a kang (a traditional heated brick bed) can lead to an unexpected surprise!
