Yang Jichun's problem was solved, but Yang Jixia was dejected after returning to the bun shop.

When I returned to the room and pushed the door open, I was shocked to see Tong Jia prying through the window crack.

He asked in a rare tone: "Why are you here with me at this hour of night instead of in your own room?"

Tong Jia said: "I'm just curious about how your eldest brother's affairs will be handled?

Hey~ You have quite a rich family background, it seems I underestimated you before."

Yang Jixia sighed and said, "That's not my family fortune, it's your family fortune."

"Ah?" Tong Jia was puzzled. All her money was in the RV, and she didn't remember when she had given money to Yang Jixia.

Yang Jixia said, "Didn't you sign an agreement with me that after the world is at peace, I would give you a courtyard house at the foot of the imperial city?

I didn't have much money, and when I finally saved some, I gave it all to my elder brother to fill his hole.

The money I have now can only pay the two families compensation for about another year and a half.

They've all been used up. Even if the world were at peace tomorrow, I wouldn't have enough money to buy you a yard.

So, to put it bluntly, the money I give out now is all yours."

"Yes, besides the courtyard, you have to give me other compensation!

That won't do, Yang Jixia, since you clearly know that the money should be mine, how can you still be so generous to others?"

Yang Jixia sighed and said, "I never thought that my elder brother would do this for money..."

It was because I wasn't at home that he went to buy medicine for Mom...

I owe you and I owe my parents.

You are still young, but my mother doesn't have much time left. I don't want her to see her descendants in disgrace during her lifetime.

So, I can only say sorry.

I still say the same thing, as long as I am still alive after the world is balanced, I will give you the yard and compensation you deserve, and I will not give you less."

Tong Jia didn't have a good impression of Yang Jichun, but Yang Jixia was different. They were blood brothers, unlike her and the brothers and sisters of the Rong family. She was just a brother in name only. In fact, deep down, they had no relationship, let alone any feelings.

Just when Tong Jia wanted to comfort Yang Jixia, she suddenly felt like she was being watched.

She looked out through the crack in the window she had just observed and didn't find anything unusual.

But the strange feeling in my heart couldn't be shaken off.

She patted Yang Jixia's shoulder and told him how she felt using Morse code.

Yang Jixia also became alert. He also looked out through the crack in the window. Diagonally opposite the bun shop, which was next to the hotel, there was a dim sum shop that was bought out years ago. There was a small red dot flashing in it.

His heart instantly rose.

He turned around and pushed Tong Jia out, saying loudly as he pushed her, "What your money? All that money was earned by me. It's all my money.

Now I'm giving it to my brother for emergency use. Do I still need your consent?

I think I spoiled you too much, which is why you can't tell what your status is at home.

You've been married for so many years, and you haven't even given birth to a son or daughter. How dare you make demands on me?

My eldest brother and his wife have taken care of my mother for many years. Even if they have no credit, they have worked hard. I am willing to use this money to help them settle their affairs.

Why should I pay for the affairs of your brothers and sisters from your mother's side?

Over the years, I have never lacked money for your own flowers.

As for your mother's family, don't even think about getting a penny.

If you continue to make trouble, go back to your parents' home. Wait, take your luggage and don't let me see you again."

As he said that, he took out the box where he had hidden the confidential documents from under the bed and handed it to Tong Jia.

Tong Jia glanced out the window, took the box, went downstairs, and didn't even go back to her room. She went straight out.

The others didn't understand what was going on, but with Diao Ren and Xiao Ting around, they didn't dare to ask directly.

So, Tian Ma said, "Butler Guo is not here, Diao Ren, go upstairs and see what's wrong with the master, and try to comfort him.

Xiaoting, go to the kitchen and cook some soup to clear away heat and reduce internal heat. Your husband must be angry because he is worried about what happened today, not because of you.

Madam, don't take it to heart. I'll sit with you in the room for a while. Once your husband calms down, you two can have a good talk.

The couple's life is like lips touching lips. It's impossible to have no conflicts. But they just need to get along, right?

You all should go away. Lele, come with me. Let's go inside and persuade your sister."

After Diao Ren and Xiao Ting did what Tian Ma instructed, everyone else looked at Tong Jia.

Tong Jia held the box in her arms and typed Morse code on it with her hands.

When the others learned that something unusual was happening in the dim sum shop across the street, they all became worried.

Everyone's attention turned to Tian Ma and Tong Jia.

Tong Jia still didn't understand what was going on and was still a little confused.

In her impression, it seemed that only the scanning mirror of a sniper rifle would emit red light spots in the dark, but she didn't know enough about the guns of this era, so she wasn't sure if this was the case.

She didn't dare to express her opinion rashly and turned her attention to Tian's mother.

Tian Ma said, "Wang Tong, go upstairs and find Xiao Xie. You two should be more alert tonight.

Lele, you will sleep with your brother Qiangzi tonight. If anything happens, you are not allowed to make your own decisions. You must follow your brother Qiangzi's arrangements. Okay?"

Tao Junle shook his head, grabbed Tong Jia's hand, and said that he wanted to stay with Tong Jia.

Tian's mother sighed and said, "Okay then. You stay with your sister.

Qiangzi, go to the front door. There are people watching from above, and you can't let your guard down.

If we get through this evening without incident, we can go to that pastry shop tomorrow morning to check things out, using the excuse of it opening."

Everyone nodded and went to do things according to Tian Ma's instructions.

Tong Jia carried the box back to the house, and only put the box into the RV after Tian Ma left.

Tao Junle felt Tong Jia's hand was cold and wanted to go out to bring her a bowl of hot soup, but was stopped by Tong Jia.

She said, "Lele, don't go out. We've already used up the time to enter the RV today. What if that red dot is really a gun... Oh, right..."

Tong Jia said this and took out two sets of night clothes from the RV.

She threw a small set to Tao Junle and pushed him to the bed to change, while she changed in the cubicle next to the dressing table.

As she changed, she said, "Lele, put this inside your clothes. You don't need to wear the pullover part. Just use it as a scarf first."

Since her head is exposed, it doesn't really matter whether she wears the clothes or not. Tong Jia's action is purely to seek psychological comfort.

Because the enemy was in the dark and we were in the light, Tong Jia didn't dare to rashly check the situation at the snack shop.

Everyone spent the night in fear.

The next day, except for Xiaoting, almost everyone showed up at the opening ceremony of the bun shop with big panda eyes.

Because the hotel and the steamed bun shop are part of the same company, the steamed bun shop is offering a big sale on the first day of its opening. Those who can't find a seat in the lobby can go to the first floor of the hotel to sit and rest while waiting for a seat. Those who can't wait can also take their food away. Anyone who buys ten meat buns can get half a sausage for free.

While others were busy, Tong Jia and Tian Ma took the bulk candies and started distributing them door to door.

The first one is a dim sum shop.

Unfortunately, no matter how they knocked on the door, no one came to open it. If they continued to knock, it would be easy for people to suspect that they were deliberately testing the waters. After each of them knocked twice and no one responded, they went to the next house to distribute candy.

The person behind you will give candy directly and say a few auspicious words to each other.

In places where there is no one, just like in a dim sum shop, one person knocks on the door twice. If no one knocks, go to the next one.

In this way, they distributed the gifts all along the street before the two of them went back.

A lot of sugar was distributed, but no information was found.

Both of them were in a heavy mood. If they didn't find out who the person in the snack shop was as soon as possible, they would not be able to live a peaceful life.

On the third day after the bun shop officially opened, Guo Xin came back.

He came back happily with a suitcase in one hand. If there weren't so many people in the hall, he would have given Tong Jia a big hug.

Although he couldn't hug Tong Jia, he still gave Yang Jixia a tight hug, which made Yang Jixia almost unable to breathe.

Yang Jixia pushed him away with all her strength and asked, "Did you go crazy collecting debts? Why do you hug everyone you see?"

Guo Xin laughed out loud, then bent down to pick up the suitcases beside him, one in each hand, picked them up and walked upstairs.

Tong Jia and Yang Jixia looked at each other and followed him upstairs.

Apart from the two of them, others were also curious, but their identities were there. The shopkeeper went out to collect debts and only needed to report to the boss and the boss's wife when he came back. I have never heard of him having to report to the employees as well.

So, no matter how curious the others were, they refrained from going upstairs.

But judging from Guo Xin's expression, his mission should have been very successful.

As long as the mission is successful, it will be good news for them.

Thinking of this, everyone felt particularly motivated to work.

Xiaoting didn't quite understand why everyone became so motivated just by seeing Guo Xin, so she quietly asked Diao Ren.

Diao Ren said: "Brother Guo went out to collect debts. He looked so happy, so he must have gained a lot this time.

If the debt is collected, it means we might be able to get paid. Isn't that something to be happy about?"

Xiao Ting nodded in sudden realization, and then said happily: "Brother, if I get paid, I will buy you a pair of gloves first. When you wear them when chopping wood, your hands will not be pricked by those splinters.

If there is any money left, I will give it all to my godmother."

She also recognized Tian Ma as her godmother, and now she and Diao Ren are directly brother and sister.

Diao Ren asked, "If you don't keep a single cent, what will you do when you need the money?"

Xiao Ting shook her head and said, "My boss provides me with food, lodging, and even clothes. How can I use money for that?"

Diao Ren looked at the innocent Xiaoting with a look of pity that went beyond that of brother and sister.

Standing not far away and listening to their conversation, Tian's mother first smiled, then looked at Xiaoting thoughtfully for a long time.

However, there were many guests downstairs, and she didn't have much time to stay outside, so she soon returned to the kitchen.

The people downstairs were busy with their own things. Even Tao Junle, for once, did not go upstairs with Tong Jia. Instead, he stayed quietly in his room reading.

Upstairs, just as Guo Xin was about to return to his room, Yang Jixia quickly pushed him into Xiao Xie's room.

Facing Guo Xin's puzzled look, Yang Jixia pointed out the abnormality in the dim sum shop opposite.

After hearing this, Guo Xin's smile faded and he asked solemnly, "Can you see that red dot every night?"

Yang Jixia nodded and said, "You can see it every night. But except for the first night when it was on all night, it only lit up two hours before and after I turned off the lights. It never lit up at other times."

Tong Jia added: "We originally wanted to use the opening as an excuse to test the waters, but no matter how hard we knocked, no one came to open the door.

I asked someone and found out that the store was bought earlier than our bun shop, but it has never opened.

Even the dim sum shop has the sign of the original store.

Even after paying the money, they haven't renovated the place or opened it for business. It's really weird."

Guo Xin nodded and said, "Since we still don't know what the other side's strategy is, let's hold our ground for now.

For the time being, we will suspend all contact with the following people and just pretend that we are really here to open a bun shop.

Let’s ignore Rong Xinhua and Pan Meiying for now.”

"Don't care?" Yang Jixia didn't say anything. The person who asked the question was Tong Jia.

Guo Xin nodded and said, "This is also the opinion from above."

"Why?" Yang Jixia asked.

Guo Xin said: "I should have returned long ago, but Comrade Tong Jia discovered an important document. I sent a telegram to the organization, and two hours later, the organization intercepted the relevant telegram from the other side.

This means that there is a traitor in our organization. In order to preserve our manpower, our superiors have asked us to remain inactive.

Unless such a large quantity of supplies is discovered again, our current disguise is our true identity.

By the way, Comrade Tong Jia, your discovery this time has been extremely helpful to our organization. Our senior leader even praised you and said that after the victory, he will personally meet with you and present you with an award.

"Haha! Really? Did the leader really say that? As long as those things are useful, that's what I should do. I..." Tong Jia almost said that she was born under the red flag and grew up in the spring breeze.

The words were on the tip of his tongue, but he swallowed them back when he thought they were too forward.

In the eyes of Guo Xin and Yang Jixia, she was so excited that she couldn't speak.

Guo Xin said: "Gold, silver and jewelry are secondary. Food and cotton clothes are really a timely help. The most popular items are the guns and ammunition, as well as the statue of Taishang Laojun."

"A statue of a god? Why is this so popular? Could it be that there are Taoist disciples in our team?" Tong Jia asked curiously.

Guo Xin said: "There are no disciples of Taoism, but all of them are disciples of the military school.

The statue of Taishang Laojun is made of iron, and the entire base is solid, making it particularly suitable for making gun barrels and grenade shells."

"You... melted the statue?" Tong Jia asked in shock.
