A chaotic house, a perfect couple

Cheng Jiajia and Yu Junsheng, one holding a shovel and the other holding a wooden box, ran like thieves. They didn't meet anyone along the way and soon arrived at the gate of the compound.

The two took a breath and looked at each other. Cheng Jiajia tiptoed forward and gently pushed open the gate of the courtyard.

The wooden door creaked, and the two men immediately held their breath.

Cheng Jiajia moved more gently, opening the door wider little by little until it was just big enough for one person to pass through. She turned and winked at Yu Junsheng, indicating that he should go first while she would cover their retreat.

Yu Junsheng: “…” What should I do if I always feel like a little husband protected by my wife?

But he didn't hesitate and quickly moved sideways through. Cheng Jiajia quickly followed and gently locked the door.

After arriving home, the couple quickly ran into the inner room, locked the door, closed the windows, and drew the curtains tightly. Then they hid under the quilt like thieves and used a flashlight to check the contents of the wooden box.

When the box was opened, two pairs of eyes widened at the same time, "Wow~"

It is full of colorful gems, red, blue, emerald, pink, so gorgeous that it dazzles the eyes.

And they are all very rare and expensive varieties in later generations.

Cheng Jiajia's eyes were shining and she couldn't take her eyes off the colorful stones.

She tugged at Yu Junsheng's arm and whispered excitedly, "Oh my God, we're rich! We're rich! So many diamonds, we can sell them for a lot of money!"

In comparison, Yu Junsheng's expression was okay. After all, he had heard Zheng Haiyang tell him in his dream what was in the box.

After a moment of shock, he quickly calmed down. He analyzed the situation in his head and said seriously, "Wife, we can't take these things out in the next few years."

Cheng Jiajia was stunned for a moment before she realized that these things were not valuable now and could not be sold at a high price.

More importantly, they didn't know who had buried it. Who knew anyone else knew there was a treasure hidden in that courtyard? What if the treasure got out of their place and was discovered? Wouldn't that be like exposing themselves to the treasure they had dug up?

Not to mention others, Zheng Haiyang and the other two would definitely be furious when they knew that this thing had been taken away. If their family spent more money at this time, they would probably suspect them.

After figuring this out, Cheng Jiajia felt that these beautiful gems instantly lost their appeal to her. She only thought that they were some nice-looking stones.

And thinking about the next few years... her face was expressionless. "So, after all the effort we put into digging these things up, not only can't they help us improve our lives, but they've become a hot potato?"

If you don't eat or drink properly, you'll always be at risk of being targeted.

Yu Junsheng touched his nose and said, "Ahem, theoretically speaking, that's true."

Cheng Jiajia looked at him with dead eyes, her fists clenched so hard that they made a clattering sound.

Yu Junsheng felt a chill on his back and said with a wry smile, "Let's dig a hole in the utility room and bury the box, then no one will find it." He blinked hard to make Cheng Jiajia believe him, "Really, wife, believe me!" We can't do this by force!

After all the hard work, the benefits would not be realized until more than ten years later. Cheng Jiajia immediately lost interest and no longer had any love for the box.

She fell on the bed and turned her head, "Quick, quick, take it away, don't let me see it!" She had dreamed that this box could let her lie flat, but in the end...

Seeing her depressed look, Yu Junsheng felt amused. He reached out and touched her head, comforting her, "We still have more than 300 yuan at home. When I save some more, I will buy you a job. Then we can both work, and our lives will gradually get better."

In fact, their life is not bad compared with other families now, but Cheng Jiajia comes from the future where material life is very rich, so she is always not used to it.

"Oh~" Cheng Jiajia sighed resignedly. It was her own fault that she came through this world. She had to get used to it even if she wasn't used to it!

But she still said, "There's no rush to find a job. I have some money, so don't push yourself too hard."

Yu Junsheng repaired scrapped radios at a scrap yard and then sold them at a low price. He sold a radio for 20 yuan, and after deducting the cost of purchasing parts, the profit was pure profit. He had accumulated all his wealth from this business.

There are not many such opportunities. After all, people are very careful with things nowadays. It is not uncommon for a radio to be used for more than ten years. How could so many of them be scrapped?

Cheng Jiajia was afraid that this man would push her too hard and go to the black market, which would be a waste of time.

As long as she could find a job before the educated youth were forced to go to the countryside, she was not particularly anxious.

He warned worriedly, "Don't go to the black market!"

Yu Junsheng raised his eyebrows, "I know, don't worry, wife!" He was not incapable of adapting. If he really heard about a job opportunity, he would not miss it just because he didn't want to spend his wife's money. He was not that stupid.

But I also thought about rummaging through the scrap yard after work to see if there were any discarded radios. The more I could save, the better.

As for the black market, his wife really thinks highly of him. A small fry like him can't make it in such a place.

After chatting about these, it was already late, so Yu Junsheng took some hot water from the thermos and washed the two of them, and then went to bed.

Perhaps because those gems had not been redeemed for the past decade, in the eyes of Cheng Jiajia and Yu Junsheng they were just a pile of beautiful stones, so they did not feel excited and fell asleep quickly with their hands on the pillows.

……

Jiang Qiubai, who was squeezed into a single bed with her mother-in-law in the hospital, did not sleep well. On one side was the snoring of her mother-in-law, and on the other side was the snoring of her husband. Jiang Qiubai kept her eyes open until the second half of the night before she fell asleep.

She had the recurring dream again.

This time, Jiang Qiubai finally saw clearly where the wooden box was.

She suddenly opened her eyes, feeling extremely excited. She saw it, she saw it!

The treasure in the box is in the five-story courtyard in Zaozi Hutong!

There's a dog hole at the back you can crawl into!

Thinking of this, Jiang Qiubai's breathing became heavy.

She must, must get the things. Not only will she make a fortune, but Brother Haiyang will also be happy. She is afraid that her mother-in-law will also praise her, and she will be able to stand up straight in her husband's family!

Jiang Qiubai couldn't help but smile widely.

She couldn't wait to tell her mother-in-law and Brother Haiyang this great news!

Jiang Qiubai was so excited that she couldn't sleep in the second half of the night. She kept her eyes open until dawn.

……

Not to mention the shock and ecstasy of Zheng Haiyang's family of three after they learned this great news early in the morning.

It was another morning, and the courtyard was filled with the smell of fireworks as usual.

At the Ren family in the third hospital, Guan Ailian gets up before dawn as usual to make breakfast for the family.

She glanced at the closed door of her son's room, curled her lips, and couldn't help but say sarcastically, "Oh, being our daughter-in-law is such a blessing. You sleep until noon every day. Others have their lives relaxed after marrying a daughter-in-law, but it's different in our family. I, an old woman, have to serve my daughter-in-law every day. This really broadens my horizons!"

Seeing no movement from inside the door, Guan Ailian, while cooking, knocked on the door and shouted, "When we were young, who didn't get up before dawn to cook for the whole family? If you dare to drag your man to sleep and wait for your mother-in-law to cook, you will be stabbed in the back! We were too shy to do that back then, but today's young wives are different!"

Inside the room, Dong Xiangxiang lay limply in Ren Yongsheng's arms. She punched his chest with her little fist in annoyance and said with a look of grievance, "Brother Yongsheng, I know Mom doesn't like me. She can beat me and scold me, and I won't say a word. But if people outside hear what she says, what will others think of me? How can I face people?"

Ren Yongsheng had originally gone to a friend's house yesterday, but in the evening, he thought of Cheng Jiajia's little face and felt very restless, so he came back to sleep with Dong Xiangxiang. However, he just wanted to sleep with her and would not stand up for her.

Seeing that he was unmoved, Dong Xiangxiang's eyes flickered. She said worriedly, "Won't people then say that you've forgotten your mother after marrying her? You only know how to protect your wife and are not filial to her? Brother Yongsheng, you're a projectionist in a big factory. You can't let your reputation be ruined."

Ren Yongsheng's expression changed.

After a night of comfort from Dong Xiangxiang, Ren Yongsheng was finally satisfied. He was annoyed by his mother's veiled chatter early in the morning, but he wouldn't say anything about her. After all, he knew she was doing it for his own good.

But it would be a different matter if it affected your work.

He was a film projectionist, a respected figure among the younger generation in the theater. Ren Yongsheng would never allow anything to go wrong! Never!

He jumped up, put on his clothes, opened the door and yelled, "Mom, what are you yelling about? If everyone in the yard hears it, what will they think of our family? Do we still want to maintain our dignity?"

Guan Ailian curled her lips and thought to herself, "What does it matter whether it's decent or not? I wish everyone knew what kind of daughter-in-law my family married. It would be best if Dong Xiangxiang's reputation was ruined and she couldn't stay here. That way, my son could marry a girl from the city. That would be decent."

But after seeing her son's gloomy face, she didn't dare to say anything more. She just threw the spatula down in anger and said, "Alright, alright, I owe you. I was born to serve you, alright!"

Not only did her son not understand her, he also protected that vixen. Guan Ailian vented all her grievances on her hands, and the kitchen continued to make noises.

In the room, a hint of pride flashed in Dong Xiangxiang's eyes.

You old thing, you want to fight with me? Humph!

……

At the Yu family's side in the east wing of the Second Hospital, although Yu Junsheng was busy until late at night, he did not lie in bed. He also had to go to work today.

That’s right, Yu Junsheng’s honeymoon leave is over and he should return to work today.

After all, he was young and only slept for three or four hours at night. He was still energetic when he woke up in the morning. Yu Junsheng finished his breakfast quickly without waking up Cheng Jiajia. He warmed her breakfast in the pot in the kitchen, closed the door, and went to work.

When Cheng Jiajia woke up, the sun was already high in the sky. When she went out to wash up, all the aunties in the yard looked at her.

The kind intention is to give an ambiguous look and then make faces and smile.

After all, everyone has been young once, and we all know that.

However, there was also a discordant voice, namely Guan Ailian, the biological mother of that lecher Ren Yongsheng from yesterday. She had a kind smile on her face, but her words were not so pleasant to the ear:

"Oh, you're up so late! Young wives nowadays are so lucky. Unlike us back then, we had to get up before daybreak to prepare breakfast for the whole family. If we slept until noon, everyone would scold us behind our backs, saying we only knew how to flirt with men. We'd drown you in spit!"

Guan Ailian had just been pissed off by Dong Xiangxiang that morning, and now seeing Cheng Jiajia, the culprit who indirectly caused Dong Xiangxiang to fall on her house, was infuriating. Add to that the fact that Cheng Jiajia had splashed water on her son yesterday, and the new and old grudges compounded, and Guan Ailian couldn't help but bite... no, sarcastically.
