Chapter 117: Rich
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Yao Jun originally wanted to wait a little longer, but the pain in his body became stronger and stronger.
This time, he completely believed Su Li’s words. If there was no antidote, he would really die.
Hence, he went to look for people who were usually on good terms with him and prepared to join forces to do something. However, those people would not trust Yao Jun so easily.
“Is that old He family really that rich?”
“That’s right. Don’t tell me that they are poor people? If they are poor people, we shouldn’t go. It’s a waste of my hope.”
“That’s right. Isn’t it good to sleep at home? You won’t be able to get a single cent from that damned place.”
Yao Jun hurriedly said, “It’s true. Her son gives them seven taels of silver a month for their retirement. Their family is living in a brick house. I heard that they even received a pension from her son in the past!” When the few of them heard this, their eyes lit up.
“Really?”
Yao Jun nodded vigorously. “It’s absolutely true. Just ask around and you’ll know!”
“They have a son who is a hunter. I heard that he had already been split up from his family. Moreover, he even pays seven taels of silver a month for his parents’ retirement. He has already given it to them for several years!” Someone at the side confirmed, “Seven taels a month? Not seven taels a year?”
Oh my god! What did it mean to have seven taels of silver a month? Even if he spent two taels of silver a month, he still had five taels of silver left. Didn’t that mean that he had sixty taels of silver in savings that year? Moreover, it had been a few years. Didn’t that mean that the He family had more than a hundred taels of silver!
In order to make them believe him, Yao Jun nodded vigorously and said, “How can I lie to you about this? I originally wanted to do it alone, but I felt that we’re brothers. If there’s money, we’ll make it together!”
Someone at the side patted Yao Jun’s shoulder and said gratefully, “You’re really too loyal. You still haven’t forgotten us at this time. We’ll split everything we get equally.”
“Alright!” Yao Jun had no objections to this. In any case, they would snatch it first.
Su Li was the one who told him this news. Although he didn’t know if it was true or not, as long as he told them the truth, he didn’t believe that these people wouldn’t be tempted!
As for the silver?
When the time came, they would split half of it first and give the other half to Su Li. In any case, she did not know how much money they had taken!
The few of them thought about it and decided to send two people to scout first. They would act together after night fell.
Su Li hid in the dark with Su Ze and listened to their plan.
After suffering the loss last time, Yao Jun still knew to send people to scout the area first. His brain had still improved a little.
Su Li tugged at Su Ze’s clothes and pointed into the distance, gesturing for him to leave.
Suzette nodded. ‘I’ve heard all I need to hear. Aren’t you going to stay and feed the mosquitoes?’
“Sister, do you think Yao Jun and the rest will succeed?”
Su Ze was worried about Yao Jun’s intelligence and actions. He didn’t want Su Ze to be arrested and beaten up if he didn’t succeed.
Su Li said, “That’s hard to say. Let’s wait and see!”
There were only a few of them. If they tied up everyone in the He family’s old residence and beat them up, wouldn’t they get the money easily?
Simple, violent, and effective. It all depended on what Yao Jun and the others did!
When night fell, everyone fell asleep.
Yao Jun and the rest headed towards Old Master He’s old residence.
Because they had checked out the place in advance, they knew everything about the He family’s old residence.
They knew that the He family was now led by Wang Chunhua and that all the money was in Wang Chunhua’s hands. They did not go to other rooms and went straight to the room where Wang Chunhua slept.
Yao Jun pushed gently. The door was bolted. He gestured for the person behind him to open the door.
These people were worse than the other when it came to serious matters, but when it came to doing such crooked things, each of them was more powerful than the other. Moreover, everyone had a different ability. For example, the person in front of them was best at opening doors.
That person picked up a tool, pried lightly and the door opened!
“Let’s go!” Yao Jun beckoned them into the room.
They rummaged through all the places they could hide their money, but found nothing except a little change.
“Impossible!” Yao Jun looked at the money in his hand in disbelief.
Since Wang Chunhua dared to buy meat every day, her family should have more savings than this.
Seeing this bit of money, some people couldn’t take it anymore and flew into a rage at Yao Jun. “Yao Jun, are you lying to us? What can this money do? It’s not even enough to pay for our drinks tonight!”
Yao Jun rubbed his temples and said impatiently, “Why are you in such a hurry? We haven’t even finished searching.”
He kept thinking about where they could hide the money. Suddenly, he stared at Wang Chunhua’s pillow and fell into deep thought. The most dangerous place was the safest place. Why didn’t he think of it!
Yao Jun felt that he had solved the case. He pointed at Wang Chunhua’s pillow and said, “She must have hidden the money in the pillow.”
At this moment, Wang Chunhua muttered a few words. Yao Jun and the others were so frightened that they almost flew on the spot.
“What do we do when she wakes up?” someone asked.
Yao Jun went all out. “Cover her mouth and tie her up so that we can force her to tell us where she hid the silver. This will save us a lot of trouble than searching for it ourselves.”
“Boohoo…” By the time Old He and Wang Chunhua reacted, it was too late. Their mouths were covered, and they could not resist.
After tying her up, Yao Jun and the others first went to look at Wang Chunhua’s pillow.
Seeing them touch her pillow, Wang Chunhua struggled agitatedly.
That was her lifeblood. If this group of people took it away, she would not be able to live in the future!
Yao Jun searched Wang Chunhua’s pillow but could not find anything.
However, when he thought of Wang Chunhua’s agitated expression just now, he felt that there was definitely something wrong with this pillow.
Therefore, he simply dismantled the pillow and finally found a banknote in the compartment.
Yao Jun’s eyes lit up. “Hehe! Look, a hundred taels of silver!”
“I’m rich! I didn’t expect her to really be rich!”
“Our trip tonight was not in vain. We can go drinking tomorrow.” “Let’s quickly look around and see if there are money in any other places.” The few of them started to rummage through the house again.
Wang Chunhua and Old He could not speak or move their hands. When they saw the banknotes being taken away, tears streamed down their faces.
Madam Zhao heard movement in Wang Chunhua’s room and pushed He
Fengnian. “Husband, why do I hear movement in Father and Mother’s room?”
He Fengnian turned around and said nonchalantly, “What’s going on? Could it be that the old couple is fighting in the middle of the night? I don’t care about them. They can do whatever they want! ”
It was fine if they quarreled during the day, but what was the point of quarreling at night? He did not care!
Madam Zhao felt that something was wrong when she heard the voice, but her man did not care. As a daughter-in-law, why did she care? It wouldn’t be good if she went and it didn’t end well, so Madam Zhao turned over and fell asleep.
Yao Jun and the others searched Wang Chunhua’s house thoroughly, but they did not find anything valuable. Hence, they set their sights on the other
rooms..
