Transmigration: The Main Character is Not Becoming the Cannon Fodder!-Chapter 328 - 16: Famine Years Without Famine (16)
Zhao Donglaiβs plan was different from the one in the story. ππ«ππ²π¨πππππ―ππΉ.ππ¨πΊ
In the story, Zhao Jing had almost secured all of the Li Familyβs assets, and the few thousand yuan were given to Zhao Donglai, so naturally, he wouldnβt care about the eight hundred yuan anymore.
Zhao Jing was unaware of the reason behind it and felt a bit grateful.
Indeed, her real dad was more reliable.
The second aunt was also looking for someone for her, but they were all from the countryside, so how could she be interested?
The second aunt obviously didnβt think much of it, just like last year when Li Shujie came home, and brought a friend with him, apparently also a soldier. Considering the conditions, it was really good. If she had cared, why wouldnβt she have thought of letting Li Shujie help?
It was precisely because Zhao Jing had feelings for that guy at the time that she made comparisons, which made her feel that the people Li Chunhua talked about had lousy conditions.
"Jingβer, I recently heard some news that seems very useful. You are already at the age to get married, and only if you live well in the future can Dad be at ease. But our familyβs current conditions are poor, and people look down on us. However, I heard that Li Renguiβs father initially took refuge in the Li Family Village, and itβs said he brought some treasures with him. Jingβer, youβve lived in their house for so many years. Have you noticed anything unusual?"
Zhao Jing was taken aback: "Dad, where did you get this information? Iβve lived with the Li Family for so long and have never seen anything valuable. But with Li Shujie in the military, he often sends quite a bit of money, but all that money is hidden by Li Rengui."
"Heh heh, Jingβer, recently I went to the police station due to some matters, and in the police station, there are details on the household registrations. I found out where Li Haoge came from. Some families were very famous before the war, and this Li Haoge, Dad had heard about before. Dad combined it with Li Renguiβs fatherβs situation and figured it should be that Li Haoge. If itβs really that Li Haoge..."
Zhao Donglai laughed again.
He had already thought it through. If the Li Family really had treasures, then he would figure out a way with Zhao Jing to take them. By then, heβd find a good family for Zhao Jing to marry into, as she was his own daughter. If there were no treasures, then heβd have Zhao Jing marry that person, and they could still get those eight hundred yuan.
"Jingβer, if itβs really that Li Haoge, the son of a great family, there must be something valuable on him. You just donβt know it because theyβre guarding against you. The things must be hidden in their house."
Zhao Jing thought about it. If it were true, it would make sense since she had never been inside Li Haogeβs room.
Darn it, theyβve been in the Li Family for so many years, and theyβve never thought of giving her anything good.
If Li Shuning knew Zhao Jingβs thoughts, sheβd probably spit in her face.
What gall, who does she think she is, trying to mess with the beloved granddaughter of the family, make the daughter-in-lawβs relationship with the family that way, and still expect kindness from them? Only someone with a screw loose would do such a thing, right?
"Dad, so what do you suggest we do?"
Zhao Donglai didnβt have a good plan at the moment. After thinking for a while, he said, "Letβs wait a little longer and see if thereβs an opportunity that comes up."
When the two discussed matters, they always chose remote, open areas in the wild, so if anyone came, they would see immediately.
Thus, while in the hovercar, Li Shuning heard their conversation clearly.
Li Shuning had a hint of amusement on her face. Well, if they wanted an opportunity, sheβd cook up a good one for them.
Li Shuning wrote a letter to Li Shujie, asking him to write home to invite everyone in the family to come visit the military base.
It wasnβt long before Li Shujieβs letter arrived.
Initially, Li Haoge and the others didnβt want to venture far given their age.
But they couldnβt resist Li Shuningβs persuasion.
"Grandpa, Grandma, this is a rare opportunity to see Brotherβs life at the base, isnβt it great, and besides, we can take the chance to sightsee for a few days."
Li Shuning dropped another bomb: "Moreover, from what I know, it seems Brother might have found a girlfriend, and this time itβs likely weβll meet her. Since Brother canβt come out from the base easily, we should go take a look."
Li Rengui also thought it was good to go out and have a look.
Ultimately, unable to resist everyoneβs persuasion, Li Haoge agreed.
Li Chunhua naturally wanted to go too. According to Li Chunhuaβs idea, she wanted to take Zhao Jing with them; however, no one in the family said a word, so Li Chunhua understood their stance.
Her son had opinions about Zhao Jing too. If she took Zhao Jing, her son wouldnβt be happy, and since it was about finding a daughter-in-law, she hesitated.
When she hesitated, how could Zhao Jing agree? Going to the base, she could see that person.
As soon as she got back, Zhao Jing immediately started persuading Li Chunhua.
As for Li Shuning, she pulled Li Rengui aside to find Li Haoge.
"Grandpa, I have something to talk to you about."
The conversation between Li Shuning and Li Haoge lasted several hours.
A few days later, after they packed up, Li Shuning also went to Li Haoge to get some luggage, and Zhao Jing didnβt pay much attention.
However, when Zhao Jing went to the city to buy things to take to the base, she secretly gave the Li familyβs keys to Zhao Donglai.
Zhao Donglai was delighted, as the Li Family had all gone out, and with Zhao Jing watching, heβd have plenty of time to search the Li Familyβs house for something.
This time, Li Shuning packed up all the household items and stored them in the Qiankun Ring.
Even the grain was packed away.
Li Chunhuaβs supplies were kept separate from theirs, and Li Shuning wouldnβt meddle with Li Chunhuaβs matters.
Thus, on the sixth day, the whole family set off. They had already bought train tickets a few days earlier, and the whole family went to visit the military base.
Meanwhile, the Li Familyβs house, located conveniently in the middle of the village, had informed the neighbors since they were going out. They also sent some snacks to ask them to help keep an eye on things.
Li Mengβs family even kept several dogs.
On the first day after Li Shuningβs family left, Zhao Donglai came knocking on the door.
Having done plenty of sneaky things in his younger days, he naturally knew how to scout the place.
Seeing Li Renguiβs neighbors, he simply said he was Zhao Jingβs father and came to see his daughter.
The village folks knew the story with Zhao Jing well; after all these years, only now did Zhao Jingβs father come to see her. Heh, probably not a good guy.
They told him straight up that Zhao Jing had gone away.
Zhao Donglai took the chance to figure out the families around Li Renguiβs house.
The dogs would be a bit troublesome.
If he attempted to break into the Li Familyβs house at night, the dogs would notice him, for sure.
If they barked in the middle of the night, it would be over.
With this in mind, on the third day after Li Shuningβs family left, Zhao Donglai went back to the Li Family Village, and this time he brought his son along.
Zhao Jing had given Zhao Donglai the keys, both for the front and backyards.
