Rebirth 1983: Starting From Taking Back the Family Property

 Chapter 66 Purpose

 At night, the four people stayed in the newly bought house.

 Gu Wenfeng avoided Zhao Dajun and said to Lu Jiaxin: "I only asked for two months' leave. I will go back when the time is up."

Lu Jiaxin said with a smile: "It's not even half a month away yet, so don't worry."

He said he was not in a hurry, but in his heart he wanted to find the secret passage as soon as possible so that Gu Wenfeng could follow him. This eldest brother is not only very capable but tight-lipped, he also has a wide network of contacts. Letting him follow him to Pengcheng might come in handy.

 The next day, Lu Jiaxin and Xue Mao went out to buy pots and pans, while Gu Wenfeng and Zhao Dajun went to buy tools for repairing the house.

Now that policies are liberalized, in addition to electronic products such as color TVs and refrigerators, agricultural products and pots and pans can be purchased with money. Lu Jiaxin felt that the time period when she came here was quite good, but a few years earlier it would have been too depressing.

Xue Mao gets scared every time she goes shopping with Lu Jiaxin. She feels that money is just like paper in her eyes: "Sister, we can't buy any more. If we buy again, we can't get it back."

 In fact, you can pay someone to help deliver it to your home. Lu Jiaxin didn't want to be so high-profile, so she didn't buy any more.

The sister and brother returned to the house after shopping and found that the doors and windows of the room she lived in had been repaired and the windows were covered with newspapers.

Zhao Dajun said: "Miss Lu, you are not in good health and cannot catch the cold. Brother Feng and I will repair your room first."

There is nothing to say about Zhao Dajun's work, but the two of them have different views. It is better to separate early, otherwise there will definitely be unpleasantness in the end.

Xue Mao made dinner, Zhao Dajun helped light the fire, and Lu Jiaxin and Gu Wenfeng speculated on where the entrance to the secret passage would be.

Lu Jiaxin said: "Brother Gu, I think the entrance to the secret passage is most likely to be in two places, one is the study room, and the other is the family bedroom. So now we have to figure out which of these six rooms is the study room and which one is the bedroom. .”

 In any case, the more detailed the message, the better, so that they can analyze useful information and avoid detours. Digging with a target saves time, effort and money.

Seeing her excitement, Gu Wenfeng couldn't help pouring cold water on her: "Miss Lu, are you so sure that there is a treasure in this house? What if the news is false and there is nothing?"

Lu Jiaxin didn’t argue, she just said with a smile: “If it’s fake, it’s because I’m unlucky. I just have to work hard with you guys to go through a lot of trouble with me.”

 Gu Wenfeng said no more.

 Lying in bed at night, Lu Jiaxin thought about where the entrance to the secret passage would be hidden. The first thing she thought of was the three kangs. The entrance was hidden and safe under the kangs. However, this is just her initial suspicion, and more information is needed to verify it.

 While they were busy, Uncle Lu and Aunt Lu arrived at Sijiu City with Lu Jiajie. When Ma Lili saw her parents-in-law, she was shocked and angry. Lu Jiajie didn't tell her about such a big thing in advance. No matter how dissatisfied she felt, she still smiled and welcomed him into the house.

Ma Mu retired at home. When she saw two people walking in, her expression changed. I've had two interactions before, and the process was both unpleasant: "Why are you here?"

Although the adoption caused a gap between mother and daughter, she believed that her daughter would not hide such a big thing. So there is only one truth. My daughter didn't know about the two people coming over.

Even though the second aunt felt uncomfortable, this was the Ma family, so she didn't show any emotion.

Uncle Lu said, "It's not Lili's fault. It was Jiajie who told Xinxin to move out of the house. We couldn't bear to come over and have a look."

Ma Lili looked at the two people in surprise. When did they care about Jia Xin so much. Did she know that the second bedroom and the third bedroom were very unhappy because of the adoption? Mother Ma felt relieved when she heard this. Just now she thought that the two of them were here to adopt the eldest daughter's child. Although this is the Ma family's business, I am a little afraid of Aunt Lu's temperament of causing trouble even if nothing happens.

 She followed Uncle Lu's words and said, "It's really outrageous to squeeze out your own daughter for the sake of your step-wife and other children."

 The second aunt felt that she had found a close friend, and together with Ma Mu, they denounced Lu Hongjun and Ding Jing. Because we had a common target to fight against, the evening meal was not rich but was enjoyable.

After dinner, Uncle Lu and Auntie Lu took the initiative to leave when they saw that it was getting late. After leaving the family home, the old couple walked towards the bus stop.

Seeing this, Ma Lili pointed in another direction and said, "Mom, Dad, the guest house is over there."

Aunt Lu said: "What kind of guest house are you staying in? Are you too worried about the money? A house as big as Jiaxin can't accommodate the two of us."

Ma Lili is planning to buy a house, and she wants to break every penny in half and spend it. It felt good to hear that they were going to Jiaxin's place, and they would save on the room fee.

Before she could speak, Lu Jiajie said, "Mom, dad, I told you, the key is with my eldest brother. We can't get in now."

Ma Lili's heart skipped a beat. The key was clearly placed here, so why did she say it was at her eldest brother's place? After being married for six years, she got to know Lu Jiajie well, so she asked with a smile: "Jiajie, didn't Xinxin come back with you?"

Lu Jiajie shook his head and said, "No, she wants to wait for Xue Mao to come back together. I have to rush back to work. If I can't wait, I'll come back first."

Ma Lili pretended to be angry and said: "How can you come back first by yourself? Everyone was scared to death about what happened last time. How will you explain to your third uncle if another accident happens?"

Lu Jiajie explained: "Don't worry, there is someone protecting her, and no one dares to try against her. I called my third uncle before getting on the train."

After saying this, his mind changed: "Mom, Dad, I'll go to the nearby canteen to call my eldest brother to see if he's at home? If he's at home, he can just send the keys over, saving me a trip."

Ma Lili found an excuse to follow her, crossed the road and asked in a low voice, "What's going on? I don't have the key here?"

Lu Jiajie smiled bitterly and said, "When I go back this time, I will tell them that Jiaxin has a big house. When my parents heard this, they asked me to bring Lu Wang to Sijiu City. If there is no place to live, Jiaxin can stay at Jiaxin's place. I can't find a job." Qian Ye can also come out and see the world, but Jia Xin didn’t agree when he found out, and they even had a quarrel about it.”

 There is nothing else to say. On the way back to Sijiu City, his parents told him that living in Ma's house was not a long-term solution. In a house as big as Lu Jiaxin's, their family of four could definitely move in and live together. He refused, but it was clear that his parents had not given up.

Ma Lili's face turned dark. She felt ashamed for quarreling with her fifteen-year-old niece at such an old age: "Do you want to take advantage of her absence to stay here first?"

Lu Jiajie quickly said that he would not take them there.

Ma Lili was almost furious: "If they really move in, what's the difference between them and bandits?"

Lu Jiajie said with a grimace: "I'll call my third uncle and my eldest brother first and arrange for them to stay in a guest house tonight. My third uncle and my eldest brother should come to visit them later, and we'll make arrangements then."
