Can Qiao Manman be trusted? Of course not!
The little girl's face hardened: "Grandma, are you treating me like an outsider?"
"Since I've traveled so far to find my way here, I'm capable of dealing with those demons and monsters!"
Tao Yingzhen smiled and patted her head: "It's not that Grandma doesn't believe you, there's really no need!"
Your great-grandfather's business was so big back then, it's normal that they don't believe our family is poor.
If it were me, I wouldn't believe it either.
However, they had no evidence.
But if you resort to violence, it will only make things more obvious. Those people will absolutely pounce on you like mad dogs!
“Your grandma is right. As long as our family doesn’t make any mistakes, even if they want to take action, they’ll have to think twice because of your uncle.”
Thinking of something, Qiao Lingyue stood up and took out a scroll from the wardrobe: "Please keep this for Grandpa."
If the Qiao family encounters any major problem they can't handle, take this to the capital and ask for help!
When Qiao Manman opened it, she saw it was a calligraphy and painting by a high-ranking leader. It had a signature and a seal on it.
Qiao Manman exclaimed in surprise: "My God, is this an authentic work?"
"Correct!"
When Qiao Lingyue returned to China, he happened to encounter a wounded revolutionary force. He immediately joined the army and treated thousands of soldiers whose lives were in danger.
Later, he met with the top leader.
The high-ranking leader praised him for his outstanding abilities and noble character, but said, "Even if a person has three heads and six arms, he can only be worth ten, a hundred, or a thousand."
If you, sir, were to dedicate yourself to education, you would surely cultivate even more skilled physicians capable of saving lives and restoring life to the wounded.
So, Qiao Lingyue returned, carrying calligraphy and paintings from the big boss.
He said he was grateful to Grandpa Tao for his support of the revolutionary cause. Those grains, medicines, and cotton saved the lives of countless soldiers.
But he was short of money and unable to repay his debts. So he painted a picture as a token of his trust.
If any descendants of the Tao family ever need his help in the future, they can bring this painting to him!
"So, with such an impressive background, how dare anyone offend the Qiao family?"
Qiao Lingyue laughed heartily: "The big leader was talking about the descendants of the Tao family, but our surname is Qiao."
Your great-grandfather Tao passed away early, and your grandmother didn't like to be ostentatious.
Over the years, very few people know about this.
Since it cannot be verified, we did not publicize it.
In addition, it's also because the mountains are high and the emperor is far away.
If they find out I have such a treasure, who knows what other trouble might arise!
Qiao Manman hummed in agreement and stuffed the scroll into her canvas bag. She then stepped aside and used a rolling pin instead.
Qiao Lingyue comforted her: "The Tao family's business is too big. You've dealt with one who coveted it, but there are still a bunch more."
Why don't we just accept defeat and go to the countryside with your grandma?
As for the house, let them do whatever they want with it. If they find any treasure, I'll eat my hat!
Qiao Manman suddenly became interested: "Grandpa, my great-grandfather wouldn't have left behind only this much, would he!"
Qiao Lingyue laughed heartily, but said nothing.
Qiao Manman understood and gave a thumbs up.
He said to the two of them, "Why don't you come back to Qingshan Brigade with me? The environment there is nice, and the villagers are simple and honest. It's a good place to retire."
Qiao Lingyue shook his head: "If we go there, Ding Cuiying will definitely take advantage of our misfortune and expose Runming's background."
It's already my fault for not raising him all these years. I can't let him suffer because of me anymore.
Qiao Manman sighed, "Then, take care. Write to me when you've settled down, and I'll send you things."
Tao Yingzhen grabbed Qiao Manman's hand: "Girl, are you leaving?"
Qiao Manman smiled and said, "It's getting late, I should leave. However, I'll be staying in Suzhou for a while. I'll come see you all again before I go!"
Tao Yingzhen was reluctant to let Qiao Manman stay at her home. But she didn't dare, afraid that someone would use it against her.
"Alright, let's go, or it'll be dawn soon!"
Just as Qiao Lingyue was about to help Qiao Manman lift the box, he found that she had lifted it up with ease.
"you......"
"Sir, I'm strong, these things are a piece of cake!"
In fact, Qiao Manman wrapped up the bracelet that Tao Yingzhen gave her and stuffed it into the box so that it would be easier to move things.
They seized the opportunity to take away most of the treasure. Now, carrying it, it really doesn't feel heavy.
Qiao Lingyue nodded admiringly and opened the door for her.
Qiao Manman had the system check the surroundings to make sure no one was around before slipping out through the back door.
"Grandpa, you should go back and rest. I'll come see you whenever I have time!"
"Okay, be careful. If you can't take this thing with you, just bury it somewhere."
They're just ordinary yellow and white things, nothing to worry about being buried or flooded. We'll dig them up again when things improve.
Qiao Manman nodded: "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing!"
He then came out through the small door, turned into the shadows, and put the contents of the box into his spatial storage.
He turned and waved, and seeing that Qiao Lingyue had gone back, he walked a distance before putting the box away as well.
Qiao Manman breathed in the cool air and felt her soul relax considerably.
The night sky was dotted with stars, and she tried to count them, but she couldn't count them all.
Qiao Manman chuckled and found a corner to enter the space.
I sat on the recliner to rest and fell asleep soon after.
At four o'clock in the morning, the system woke her up.
Qiao Manman yawned as she stepped out of the space and saw that there was already a sliver of light in the east.
I stretched and arrived at the guesthouse, took out my letter of introduction, asked for a bed, and fell asleep instantly.
When it gets light, we get up and go to the supply and marketing cooperative and department stores to buy local snacks, as well as Suzhou's famous silk and embroidery.
Then, visit various scenic spots and use your camera to record the scenery of this period.
Qiao Manman also picked up a few loquat branches in the garden, put them in her pocket, and planned to plant them in her space after she left.
While Qiao Manman was enjoying herself outside, Qiao Mingqian was about to explode at home.
Early in the morning, he was told by his father that his niece had come by, and he was completely stunned.
"Dad, are you saying that the person who hit me yesterday was my little niece?"
Qiao Lingyue nodded, looking at her son with a hint of disdain: "Didn't you notice that she looks a lot like your mother?"
Qiao Mingqian shook his head: "I didn't even get a good look at what she looked like before she ran away."
"Dad, tell me, how can my little niece be so biased? She knows I'm her second uncle, yet she ran off so fast! Does she have a problem with me?"
Qiao Lingyue scoffed: "They've never even seen you before, and you think you're so important!"
Alright, go give it to the boss...
"Fine, I'll talk to him myself!"
Qiao Mingqian felt heartbroken, but dared not disobey his father. He shook his head and left, intending to vent his anger on his son.
Qiao Haoyang and Qiao Chengping were also surprised to learn that their cousin had come.
Her eyes sparkled with a different kind of light as she asked, "Dad, is my sister coming today?"
Qiao Mingqian kicked the two of them: "How should I know!"
"Don't make a sound once you're out this door. If the third son's family finds out you two are acting strangely, your grandpa will beat you up!"
Qiao Haoyang and Qiao Chengping immediately straightened their expressions, washed up, and went to the kitchen to help.
But while eating, he couldn't help but glance at Qiao Zhicheng and discovered that this third uncle really didn't look like his father or eldest uncle.
Qiao Zhicheng felt a chill run down his spine and asked, "Why are you two staring at me? Is there something on my face?"
