I was transported to the 1970s, and I became the most stylish kid in the whole compound.

Chapter 38 The old mantis stalks the cicada, while the little oriole lurks behind.
Liu Jingqiu, who was hiding in the shadows, was surprised to see Hua Li open the door.

She arranged the scene of catching them in bed together? How come Hua Li is alright?
Liu Jingqiu only came out after the Revolutionary Committee took Hua Li away.

Seeing Hua Li being forcibly taken away, neither Luo Yan nor Xiao Xiu cried or made a fuss.

Xiao Xiu picked up her backpack, put it on, stuffed some food inside, took Luo Yan's hand, and walked out with the keys.

As they reached the door, their path was blocked. Xiao Xiu looked up and saw Liu Jingqiu's fake smile as he took out a piece of candy to tempt Luo Yan.

"Yanyan, come with Auntie, Auntie will give you candy."

Looking at Liu Jingqiu, Luo Yan knew perfectly well that Hua Li's arrest and the intrusion of bad people into the house were all Liu Jingqiu's doing.

I've been wanting to deal with you for a while now, but before I could even lift a finger, you delivered yourself right to my doorstep. Ha, very well done.

Luo Yan looked bewildered as she took Liu Jingqiu's hand.

My sister was tricked out of a piece of candy?
Xiao Xiu clung tightly to Luo Yan, but Liu Jingqiu picked her up and threw her back into the courtyard, then picked up Luo Yan and ran away.

Luo Yan leaned on Liu Jingqiu's shoulder and waved to Xiao Xiu, who had come chasing after her. "Go back quickly, don't worry, I'll be fine."

Liu Jingqiu carried Luo Yan back to her home in the compound.

She has now moved into the Chu family home, so this place is now empty and most convenient for educating children.

Liu Jingqiu helped Luo Yan sit down in a chair and took out some candy to teach her.

"Yanyan, call me Mom."

Hua Li's reputation is ruined now that she's been arrested, regardless of whether she's sentenced or not. Luo Shicheng can no longer live with Hua Li and they'll have to divorce sooner or later. So as long as she wins over Luo Yan to recognize her as her mother, marrying Luo Shicheng will be a natural outcome.

Want to be her mother? What kind of pipe dream is that? Luo Yan blinked her big eyes and looked at Liu Jingqiu as if she were an idiot.

Liu Jingqiu was so frustrated by Luo Yan's silence that she wouldn't speak, which made Liu Jingqiu pinch Luo Yan hard.

Luo Yan cried out in pain, but Liu Jingqiu covered her mouth and threatened her.

"If you cry again, I'll throw you up in the mountains to be eaten by wolves."

Luo Yan seemed frightened and dared not cry anymore, while Liu Jingqiu was smug.

“You little bastard, you better stay here and behave yourself. If you still don’t call me Mom when I get back, I’ll skin you alive.”

Luo Yan sobbed and looked timidly at Liu Jingqiu.

Liu Jingqiu locked all the doors to his house and the courtyard, and headed straight for the Revolutionary Committee.

Luo Yan heard the footsteps gradually fade away and eventually stop moving. She climbed off the chair and stood on the ground.

She remembered that the original text also mentioned that after Liu Jingqiu successfully recognized her relatives by impersonating the real heiress, she moved into the Chu family's house. However, all her savings over the years, including the nice things the Chu family gave her, were kept in the house she used to live in, which is where she is now...

Luo Yan first tried to enter the space.

Hua Li and Xiao Xiu stayed by her side the whole time, which prevented her from using the space. Now she finally has a chance.

Luo Yan discovered that, just as described in the original text, she could freely enter and exit the space with a thought.

Upon entering the space, Luo Yan was amazed by its advanced technology.

Villas, swimming pools, libraries, stadiums, hospitals, shooting ranges, racetracks, and even horse racing tracks are all there, along with endless farmland and a spring that never runs dry.

The spring water has the effect of strengthening the body and curing all diseases, so Luo Yan ran to the spring and drank her fill.

Immediately after drinking it, I felt energetic and full of vitality. As for other effects, it's too early to see them.

Luo Yan came out of her spatial dimension, put her hand on the chair, and thought of storing herself into her spatial dimension. Success!
He then conjured a chair from the space, and the chair reappeared in front of Luo Yan.

With the experiment proceeding smoothly, Luo Yan began her sweep.

Luo Yan looked around her room, which was filled with clutter and contained nothing of value. She pushed open the door, walked out, and went through the kitchen to the east room. The east room was the master bedroom, about twenty square meters in size. To the left of the entrance was a kang (a heated brick bed), with a cabinet at the end of the kang and a sewing machine next to it.

Opposite the sewing machine are tall and short cabinets and a large wardrobe. By the window are a pair of sofas with a coffee table between them.

This set of furnishings wouldn't be considered anything special in later generations, but it was almost top-of-the-line in this era.

While she and her mother were starving, Liu Jingqiu, spending her scumbag father's money, not only had plenty of food and drink, but also lived in the best accommodations. Luo Yan was furious.

Luo Yan climbed onto the kang (a heated brick bed) first and opened the cabinet door to search for something.

But she's small and even weaker, so rummaging through things is too strenuous for her. At this rate, she'll probably be lucky to finish rummaging through the kang cabinet by the time Liu Jingqiu comes back.

Luo Yan frowned in thought, when suddenly a flash of inspiration struck her.

He put the cabinet into his space and, in a flash, put everything on the ground. Sure enough, he found two sets of new bedding with two hundred yuan stuffed inside a tattered cotton cover.

The whole process—putting the money in a drawer in the master bedroom of the villa and throwing the rest of the items into the warehouse—took less than half a minute.

Next, Luo Yan ransacked the master bedroom, the second bedroom, and even the kitchen. Besides all the furniture and appliances, she found 3877 yuan in cash, more than 30 tickets, two pairs of gold bracelets, two pairs of jade bracelets, a gold necklace, a gold ring, a small gold lock, a savings book with 5,000 yuan, and a notebook.

By having Liu Jingqiu bully her mother in various ways, Liu Jingqiu's savings were depleted, which could be considered as her venting her mother's anger.

However, she had to leave before Liu Jingqiu returned, otherwise, if Liu Jingqiu discovered that her house had been burgled, he would definitely suspect her.

The door was locked, and Luo Yan couldn't get out.

Of all the windows in the house, only the kitchen window wasn't very high off the ground. Luo Yan opened the kitchen window and climbed out.

Turning her back, Luo Yan used her two small hands to hold onto the window frame and lowered herself down.

After kicking her short legs a few times, unable to reach the ground, Luo Yan closed her eyes and let go...

Just when Luo Yan thought she was going to fall flat on her backside, her body instinctively flipped in mid-air, landing steadily on her feet, just like a martial arts master with superb lightness skills in a wuxia drama.

Luo Yan stood there in disbelief for a long time before accepting the fact that she felt as light as a swallow after drinking the spiritual spring water just once.

The spring water is amazing!

Before Luo Yan could even feel happy, she heard the sound of the door opening outside.

Liu Jingqiu led the way into the courtyard and explained to Luo Shicheng, who followed him in.

"When I heard that Hua Li had been arrested, I was so scared that I rushed over to pick up Luo Yan and brought her here. I originally wanted to bring Xiao Xiu along to keep Luo Yan company, but Xiao Xiu kicked and hit me, so I had no choice..."

If she had known that little mute boy would run to the army to find Luo Shicheng, she would have tied him up and brought him here.

Chen Yuanshan followed behind Luo Shicheng, and the two of them quietly looked around.

Liu Jingqiu opened the door to the storage room and called for Luo Yan, but upon closer inspection, Luo Yan was nowhere to be found.

Luo Shicheng walked over quickly, and when he didn't see Luo Yan, he became anxious.

Where is Yan Yan?

Liu Jingqiu was also a little flustered, "Maybe Taoqi ran off to play in the backyard."

By this time, Chen Yuanshan had searched all the other rooms and told Luo Shicheng, "Yanyan is not here."

The two headed straight for the backyard. No one saw Luo Yan's short legs running incredibly fast, avoiding the three of them and running around to the west side of the house before exiting through the gate.

Luo Yan ran home in one breath. The gate was unlocked. She pushed the gate open and entered the yard. As soon as she reached the door, she heard Hua Li crying.

Luo Yan wanted to call out to Hua Li, but before she could utter a sound, everything went black and she fainted.
