After binding the system, I became a national mystery person

Su Dani patted her sister's head gently, her eyes full of tenderness and care.

She understood that although she tried hard to give Su Jinru a better life, in this era of material scarcity, every penny needed to be carefully calculated.

Her sister's understanding made her feel both relieved and distressed.

The two walked hand in hand on the way home. The setting sun stretched their shadows out, and the golden light spread all over the familiar path, adding a bit of warmth and beauty to this ordinary day.

A warm feeling surged in Su Dani's heart, and she secretly vowed to work harder to give her sister a better life.

Two days passed.

"Jinru, do you know? My sister recently found a part-time job. Although it's hard work, the income is not bad." Su Dani suddenly spoke, with a hint of imperceptible pride in her tone.

Su Jinru was a little worried when she heard this: "Really? Will you be too tired, sister?" She also wanted to go to the pawnshop quickly.

Su Jinru is still young now, and many shops will not accept such a young child.

"Don't worry, I can handle it." Su Dani comforted her with a smile, "Besides, as long as I see you happy, I will have unlimited motivation."

It's been two days, the letter should have arrived home.

In the past two days, Su Jinru has been scouting the area. After all, it is New China now.

A country is always unstable in its early stages.

Early that morning, Su Dani prepared her meal and went to school.

Su Jinru got up at seven o'clock, had her meal, took out a piece of gold, and disguised herself.

Then they went to a Minghui Pawnshop, which was a relatively fair pawnshop that Su Jinru had found out about in the past few days.

She pushed the door open and walked in. The store's simple decoration and the faint scent of sandalwood intertwined to create a quiet and solemn atmosphere.

Behind the counter, an old man in his fifties was looking through the account book with his head down. The eyes behind his glasses revealed the wisdom and calmness of time.

"Excuse me, what do you need to pawn?" The old man looked up, his voice gentle and powerful, as if he could see into people's hearts.

Su Jinru, wearing a felt hat, gently placed the gold nugget in her hand on the counter. The gold nugget sparkled brightly in the sun, but she did not feel any reluctance to keep it.

"This is a family heirloom. My family is in urgent need of money, so I had no choice but to pawn it."

The old man picked up the gold nugget, looked at it carefully, tapped it gently with a professional tool, listened to its sound, looked at its color, and finally nodded.

"It is indeed good gold, of extremely high purity. I wonder how much you plan to pawn it for?"

Su Jinru had already figured it out in her mind. The amount she needed had to be enough to solve her family's urgent needs, but the value of the gold bar could not be underestimated.

"I hope to exchange it for 1,500 yuan. I wonder if the shopkeeper can agree to it?" Her tone was calm, but her eyes revealed unquestionable determination.

The old man pondered for a moment, as if weighing the pros and cons, and finally nodded.

"Miss, you're straightforward. Fifteen hundred yuan is fifteen hundred yuan. But I must warn you, it won't be easy to redeem this gold nugget once it's pawned."

Su Jinru smiled slightly and nodded gratefully. "Thank you for the reminder, boss, but I have made my decision and I won't regret it."

After the transaction was completed, Su Jinru put the money in the space, which was the safest place.

After leaving the pawnshop, Su Jinru did not go home directly, but went to the market.

"Host, someone is following you." 007 said, "He wants to rob his fellow thieves. Host, teach him a lesson."

"I understand." Su Jinru pressed down her hat to cover her face.

His pace quickened.

The people behind him saw that they had been exposed, so they stopped pretending and started to move faster.

"007, where is the alley?" Su Jinru planned to lead the man into the alley and let him know that children are not easy to mess with.

"Host, please follow the arrows."

Su Jinru pretended to run in a panic. When the people behind her saw this, they thought the child was doomed.

Entering the alley, Su Jinru walked to the innermost part, which was a dead end.

"Run, why don't you run? Hand over the money quickly, or I'll beat you to death," said the man.

The man was of average appearance, dressed shabbily, and looked to be in his twenties.

"I... I don't know what you are talking about. I don't have any money." Su Jinru replied in a panic.

As he spoke, he pressed against the wall, hoping to lead the man to the innermost part.

"Hehe, you little kid, you'd better not lie to me. I saw you coming out of Minghui Pawn Shop. I guess you sold some of your goods for some money." The man said, shaking the knife in his hand.

As the man got closer and closer to Su Jinru.

Su Jinru said loudly: "Brother, I really don't have any money, but I know where to get money."

The man was stunned, and Su Jinru took advantage of this opportunity to kick the knife out of his hand.

"You..." The man didn't expect Su Jinru to be so bold.

"What do you mean by 'you'?" Seeing that he had lost his knife, Su Jinru put his hands behind his back, took out the rope from the space, and tied his hands tightly.

A kick landed on the man's leg, and with a thud, the man fell to his knees.

"Ah!" the man cried out in pain.

"Shut up and tell me how many times has this happened?" Su Jinru picked up the knife and tapped the man's face with it.

"Please spare me, this is my first time." The man's eyes rolled around and he didn't dare to move his body because he was afraid of the knife. He was in trouble today.

"Really? I don't believe it. Be honest. I advise you not to lie." Su Jinru kicked the man hard.

"Ah, it hurts. What I said is true." The man insisted on not admitting it.

"If you don't tell me, I won't be polite." Su Jinru said impatiently.

"Have mercy, this is really my first time."

"Tsk tsk tsk, so dishonest." Su Jinru took a knife and slashed at the man's hand.

Su Jinru was the imperial physician last time, and she would not kill him, but would only cause him great pain.

"Oh, spare me, sir. This is the thirteenth time."

He always robbed others, but this was the first time he got caught. He was afraid that the child would hit him accidentally and kill him.

"Didn't you say it was the first time? Where is the money you robbed?" Most of the people who can pawn their belongings are poor.

"It's all spent."

"Be honest, I don't want you to lie, and you don't want to die here, do you?" Su Jinru threatened.

The man watched Su Jinru waving the knife at himself.

He was completely devastated. He felt that this kid was really capable of doing this. He was so young, yet so cruel.

"I'm telling you, it's at Li Fu's house in the west of the city, next to the jar in the kitchen."

"Chengxi Li Fu, what's your name?"

"My name is Li Fu. Please forgive me. I won't dare to do it again." Li Fu knelt on the ground and kowtowed. He was really scared.

When Su Jinru heard this, a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes, but then she regained her composure.
