Transmigrating to Book 50, others hoard rice, I hoard money

After Zhou Rong gave the house a quick clean, he copied six quilts from the space and placed them in the bedroom.

Zhou Rong didn't want to use strangers' things for food, so except for the big iron pot, she went to the grocery store and bought new bowls, chopsticks, pottery jars, etc. for the kitchen. She also copied two steel pots and a jar from the space.

After finishing all these, Zhou Rong asked his neighbors where the neighborhood committee was, saying that he wanted to apply for a grain purchase certificate.

The neighbor enthusiastically showed Zhou Rong the way.

When he arrived at the neighborhood committee, Zhou Rong showed his household registration book and rental contract and explained his purpose.

Tao Fen, the service committee member, took out a form and asked Zhou Rong to register first, saying that it would take time to process the certificate and that information would have to be reported, and that the grain purchase certificate could only be obtained after a week.

During this period, users can use their household registration booklet to buy food.

Zhou Rong took out a few hard candies from his pocket and quietly stuffed them into Tao Fen's pockets: "Sister, my eldest son is old enough to go to school, and I just moved here, so I'm not familiar with this place.

Sister, can you tell me which primary schools are nearby and what documents my son needs to go to school so that I can prepare them in advance to avoid missing my child’s school time?”

Tao Fen held the candy in her hand and said with a smile, "There is a Qianjin Primary School here. It takes about 20 minutes to walk there, or three stops by bus.

Your household registration is in District 1, and we belong to District 3. If you want to send your child to school, our neighborhood committee can just issue you a letter of introduction."

Zhou Rong said with gratitude: "Sister is such a good person, like a living Bodhisattva, thank you."

Tao Fen was very happy to be complimented and quickly helped Zhou Rong to prepare a letter of introduction for admission.

Zhou Rong was also reminded that school would start on the 18th of the first lunar month, and students would report on the 16th and 17th, so he should remember to go early to complete the formalities so as not to miss the start of school.

After putting away the letter of introduction, Zhou Rong continued to ask, "Sister, I have two children, one four years old and the other two years old. Is there a kindergarten or something like that nearby that can help take care of the children? I have to go to work and can't take care of them."

Tao Fen said: "Yes, there are, they are all founded by large units themselves, providing welfare to employees, and they do not accept children from outside.

Our neighbors are very welcoming. If you have children who are not being taken care of, just look for a room where someone doesn’t have to work and ask them to take a look.”

Zhou Rong guessed that the kindergarten policy had not yet been fully implemented, so he asked Tao Fen about things in Chang'an and left.

Zhou Rong was worried about leaving the child with unfamiliar people, so he thought about going back to talk to Zhou Gui or Zhou Cai and asking them to help take care of the child for a while.

The problems of household registration, work, housing and children's schooling were all solved. Zhou Rong felt refreshed. He drove the RV back to the hotel and fell into a sound sleep on the bed.

Get enough rest so you can deal with that crazy guy Yang Jinlin later...

Everything went well for Zhou Rong and he was in a good mood, but Yang Jinlin was full of worries and even wanted to kill someone.

He arrived at the meeting place agreed upon with the two thugs. Seeing that the two were waiting there obediently and the box did not seem to have been opened, he breathed a sigh of relief.

In order to prevent people from knowing that the box contained money, Yang Jinlin asked the two thugs to walk ten meters away and turn their backs. He checked the integrity of the evidence and would pay the reward if there was no problem.

While being wary of the two thugs, he carefully opened the box, expecting to see some coins that would make him excited, but what appeared before his eyes was a box full of paper money.

The same paper money he burned for the Yang family’s ancestors during the Qingming Festival.

Yang Jinlin was so scared that he threw the box away and shouted, "Ah! What happened?"

The two hooligans saw him yelling and thought something had happened, so they hurried over to ask, "What's wrong? Do you need help?"

Yang Jinlin grabbed a man and asked, "Did you move the box? Where are the things inside? Hand them over quickly!"

The thug looked at him blankly and asked in confusion, "What's that? We haven't touched the box since we got it. We've been waiting for you to come over."

Another thug said, "Do you want to burn your bridges and deny your responsibility? We have done everything you asked us to do. When will you give us the 10 yuan and the commendation document?

If you dare to default on your debt, we will report you to your workplace!"

The two men didn't look like they were lying. If they really knew that the box contained money, they would definitely not have waited for him here and would have taken the money and ran away long ago.

Yang Jinlin was confused. If they didn't swap the money, then where did the money go?

He watched Zhou Rong put the money into the box and hand it to him.

Is it a ghost?

No! There are no ghosts in this world, only people who make trouble for you!

There must be something wrong somewhere.

Yang Jinlin interrogated the two thugs carefully but did not get any useful clues.

"The evidence has been swapped. I'm going to investigate. If you really didn't do anything wrong, I'll give you the promised reward in full."

One of the gangsters said, "We are a decent company. You can check as much as you want, but you can't have no deadline. If you don't pay within three days, we will go to your company to ask for it."

Seeing that the two men showed no signs of nervousness after doing something bad and looked very confident, Yang Jinlin guessed that they might not have taken the money.

I have to go back to my hometown to get a divorce certificate tomorrow, and my return time is uncertain. If the two of them really bring this to light at work, things will get out of control.

Yang Jinlin didn't want to make a big deal out of it, so he gave each of them 5 yuan and warned them: "I'll give you the reward first, and you are not allowed to tell anyone about this.

I will continue to investigate what happened. If I find that you lied or leaked secrets, I will immediately bring the police to arrest you and sentence you to death for destroying the evidence against you as a spy."

The gangster said, "Don't worry, we are all gangsters. We are paid to do things, so we won't talk too much. We are more reliable than you officials."

After beating up the two thugs, Yang Jinlin picked up all the paper money scattered on the ground, put them in a wicker box, and went to find Zhou Rong.

If Zhou Rong is not abnormal, these paper money can be used to pay off the matter...

When they arrived at the hotel, Yang Jinlin found Zhou Rong sleepy and disheveled, looking like he had just gotten out of bed. He asked in surprise, "You stayed in the hotel the whole time, and didn't find a room?"

Zhou Rong yawned and said, "I'll go. I don't have much money, so I can just find a place to shelter from the wind and rain. I'll ask around, and if I'm satisfied with the place, I'll just pay the money and it'll be done."

Yang Jinlin: "Where is your house rented?"

Zhou Rong: "What does it have to do with you? Do you want to move in with us?"

Yang Jinlin: "...I owe you money, it will be convenient for me to send you the money after I know the location."

Zhou Rong: "You are a busy man, I don't need you to run errands. I will go to your workplace to get it on the first day of every month. If you dare to cheat, I will let you know that ex-wives are not easy to mess with."

Yang Jinlin didn't want to listen to Zhou Rong's threats, so he looked around the room, trying to confirm whether Zhou Rong had hidden the money.

Zhou Rong grabbed him and asked coldly, "What are you doing?"

Yang Jinlin said with a sullen look, "Check to see if there are any mice in the room. If there are any, I'll help you get rid of them so they don't disturb your rest."

Zhou Rong was about to say something to him when he noticed the box at the door and asked in surprise, "Isn't that the box where I keep my money? Did you find it?"

Yang Jinlin brought the box over, opened it, stared into Zhou Rong's eyes and said, "With the help of the police, the box was found, but the contents are different from what you put in it.

After checking, no one had moved the box, but the contents were gone.”

Zhou Rong looked at the box of paper money and angrily slapped Yang Jinlin on the head: "What do you mean? Are you trying to make me unlucky?

If you like this stuff, I will burn it for you every day!"

Yang Jinlin was stunned by the beating and stammered, "When the police found the box, these were the things inside.

The two criminals said they had never opened the box, and we didn't know why there was paper money inside.

Think carefully about whether there was a thief in your room last night. If the money was stolen, we should report it to the police immediately and get the money back as soon as possible."
