After emptying her family's fortune, the pampered young lady went to join the army while heavil

Chapter 2 She liked to solve problems with gold.

"Your parents have encountered a major tragedy, do you know that?" Qiao Guowei said this to test Qiao Nian.

Qiao Nian twitched the corner of her mouth. "I know, it was my parents who made me come back."

"What? You went to the Northwest? You saw your parents? Why did they want you to come back?"

Qiao Guowei sounded a little anxious.

Qiao Nian smiled and waved to Qiao Guowei, "My parents said I need to come back and handle our family's finances!"

"What money?" Qiao Guowei was quite wary and not so easily fooled.

Qiao Nian chuckled and leaned back. "Second Uncle, you don't really think that my grandmother's assets consisted of just one house, a few factories, and dozens of shops, do you?"

Qiao Guowei...

No one knew the extent of the Nian family's wealth better than him.

If his elder brother hadn't gotten there first, he would have been the one to marry Nian Yunci.

If he marries Nian Yunci, then all of the Nian family's wealth will be his, and his elder brother will have no say in it.

Qiao Guowei's gaze shifted back and forth between Qiao Nian, as he considered the veracity of her words.

Qiao Nian wasn't in a hurry.

Her family's wealth was very tempting; she didn't believe Qiao Guowei wouldn't be tempted.

Sure enough, it didn't take long before Qiao Guowei spoke up, "Niannian told her second uncle about this because she wanted his help?"

"Second uncle is really smart."

Qiao Nian did not deny it, "But I'm telling you this, but you can't tell your aunt. My dad found out that it was my aunt who reported our family. He specifically told me when I came back that my aunt must not get a single piece of gold."

How did Qiao Guowen know about this?
Qiao Guowei's mind was in turmoil. He looked at Qiao Nian and said, "Niannian, how can your second uncle believe you?"

"It's simple."

Qiao Nian took out a gold bar from her pocket.

He casually tossed it onto the table.

"I have as many gold bars as you want."

Qiao Guowei had never seen gold bars before, and his eyes lit up the moment he saw them.

He quickly stepped forward, picked up the gold bar, and bit it. It was real gold.

"Niannian, where did you get this? How much do you have left?"

"Hmm? Not many, maybe a few dozen or a hundred boxes."

Qiao Nian's tone was light and casual.

Qiao Guowei was utterly shocked.

He forcefully pressed down his trembling hands and excited heart, turned around, closed the window, and drew the curtains.

"Niannian, tell your second uncle how you want him to help you."

“The things my grandma gave me are still in the garden. I can’t move them by myself, and it’s not easy for me to move them. My second uncle will find a few people to move the things out later, and I will give half to him.”

"Half? How much is that?" Qiao Guowei's palms were sweating as he held the gold bars.

Qiao Nian raised the corners of her lips slightly, "It's only a few hundred pounds."

"Second Uncle, as a member of the Qiao family, can you please not act so naive? A few hundred pounds of gold can make you this excited."

How could Qiao Guowei not be excited?

If he were to become rich, to have countless riches, wouldn't he be excited?

Overwhelmed by joy, Qiao Guowei had no idea that this was a trap.

Knowing that there's gold to be found after dark, he's not going to work today.

Seeing that Qiao Nian was dressed shabbily, he waved his hand and took out money and tickets to buy Qiao Nian clothes, food and other necessities.

Qiao Nian, of course, didn't stand on ceremony.

I changed into a new set of clothes, inside and out, and even bought a spare set.

It cost a total of 120 yuan.

Qiao Guowei's salary for two months.

He felt a pang of heartache for a moment when he paid.

But when he thought of the gold in his pocket, and the gold that would be there that night, he smiled.

Whatever, I'll buy it.

For him, anything beyond 120 is just a drop in the ocean.

Qiao Nian recognized this point.

She doesn't hold back when it comes to shopping. She bought everything from food and clothing to household items.

She spent all three hundred yuan that Qiao Guowei had brought, and then the two of them returned to the Qiao family home with bags and bundles, waiting for nightfall.

Qiao Si and Qian Yufen were returning from their grandmother's house when they ran into Qiao Nian and her friends, who were carrying large bags and small packages.

When the mother and daughter saw Qiao Nian again, they both looked as if they had seen a ghost.

When Qiao Si saw Qiao Nian's beautiful red wool coat, she was so jealous that her eyes turned red.

The mother and daughter had no idea that Qiao Guowei had bought all of these items!

Qiao Nian is a good girl, so of course she should tell them the truth.

Upon learning the truth, Qian Yufen and Qiao Si cried and made a scene. Qiao Guowei was somewhat annoyed by his wife and daughter's foolishness, and also somewhat blamed Qiao Nian.

Why say it out loud?
After washing her face, Qiao Nian put on new clothes, her bright and beautiful face bearing a cold smile.

She sat quietly on the sofa, watching Qiao Guowei being scratched and clawed by Qian Yufen.

There was also Qiao Si's outburst of profanity.

Qiao Nian reached up and picked at her ear, then took out a gold bar from her pocket and threw it on the table.

The sound of the gold bars made the three monkey trainers stop.

They all looked at her.

Qiao thought of reaching for the gold bars, but Qiao Nian slapped her hand away without any politeness.

"Qiao Nian! You actually hit me!"

Qiao Si looked furious.

Qiao Nian clicked her tongue and sneered, "Qiao Si, have you forgotten about pushing me off the mountain back then?"

"What? I pushed you down? I was trying to save you." Qiao Si's eyes flickered.

"Oh, then I should thank you?"

Qiao Nian's tone was indifferent.

Qiao Si hummed and hawed, "Of course."

As soon as she finished speaking, Qiao Nian took out a piece of gold from her pocket and threw it on the table.

All three of them were stunned.

Just how much gold did Qiao Nian bring back?
The three of them looked at each other, and each saw greed in the other's eyes.

Qiao Nian didn't beat around the bush.

"I have plenty of gold like this."

"If you want it, you'd better answer my questions properly."

Her grandmother once told her that money is a great passport.

She was absolutely convinced.

Sure enough, after the second piece of gold was thrown out, before she could even ask, Qiao Si took the initiative to confess.

"Sister, sister, listen to me. It wasn't me who pushed you. It was my cousin. She said that if I pushed you, she would make Comrade Chen Shao marry me. I had no choice. I was forced to do it, sister."

Money moves people's hearts.

If you're not tempted, it means you don't have enough money.

Qiao Nian's lips curved into a slight smile.

She picked up a piece of gold from the table and gave it to Qiao Si, saying, "Of course I trust Si Si."

“Tell the police everything she said to you back then, and I’ll give you two more pieces of gold and a gold bracelet.”

"really?"

Qiao Si was overjoyed and for a moment forgot that if she reported Chen Jing, she would also be punished.

Qiao Nian smiled and took out two more pieces of gold.

He waved it in front of Qiao Si, but didn't give it to her immediately.

"The Qiao family does not lie to the Qiao family."

After saying that, she added, "Sisi, I promise you, as long as you explain things clearly, I will definitely plead with the police to let you off the hook."

"Really? Sister Niannian, do you really forgive me?" Qiao Si was very hesitant.

Qiao Nian smiled and nodded, "Yes, after all, you are my cousin, and you were also misled by your older cousin to do something wrong."

"I'm only going to deal with my cousin, the culprit. I definitely can't hurt you anymore."

No wonder!
