With a cheat code, she travels through the 40s and hoards goods to take her motherland to new height

Leaving right away is definitely not an option, but recognizing each other is out of the question. Shu Ran doesn't want to have an elder overseeing her.

Moreover, she can't stay in mainland China for more than a few years; her movements are too restricted.

Let's not leave any potential problems for my second uncle.

Shu Ran decided to postpone her trip to the Acropolis and stay with her second uncle to observe the situation before making a decision.

The cloak she was wearing was almost worn out, so Shu Ran watched the busy people in the village taking inventory and found a secluded corner to quickly change into a new one.

Now, she only has five intact invisibility cloaks left.

I stayed by Shu Yize's side for three days and followed him all the way back to the capital.

Shu Ran was now completely certain that this was her second uncle who had died on the battlefield, but he had not lost his memory.

That's not quite right. He did experience amnesia, but his memory returned quickly.

Shu Yize simply went with the flow and stayed in the legitimate Red Faction team that had saved him.

As for regaining his memories, he never mentioned it again.

However, when I passed through Suzhou a few years ago, I contacted my family and vaguely sensed that an internal war was inevitable, so I advised my family to make plans as soon as possible.

This also prompted my maternal grandfather to leave Suzhou with his grandson after my maternal uncle passed away.

Thanks to the Sound of All Things, Shu Ran used her mental power to scan her second uncle's room, especially the items that had been used for a long time, and a lot of information surfaced on the surface.

She felt relieved. Having received so much from the Shu family, if she really encountered her second uncle who seemed to have amnesia, she really couldn't pretend she didn't see him.

She can't let go of her morals!

Now that worry is gone, Shu Ran walked away quickly.

She exceeded expectations; she arrived in the capital before even reaching the Acropolis.

Fortunately, the two cities are adjacent and not far apart. When they reappeared openly, they had already changed their attire.

After spending a day exploring the Acropolis, Shu Ran found the broker.

That is, the intermediary in today's world.

Are you looking to rent a house?

The broker, Mao Qiang, looked Shu Ran, the little dark-skinned girl, up and down, somewhat suspicious.

She is just over 1.4 meters tall, which is considered quite tall for her age.

But Shu Ran still has a baby face and hasn't fully grown up yet, so no one would believe her if she told them she was an adult. So she simply stopped mentioning it.

"Yes, on the way to Weicheng, my father and I got separated. We agreed before we set off that if we got separated, whoever arrived first would rent a place to stay. After all, staying in an inn is too expensive!"

As Shu Ran spoke, a look of pain appeared on her face.

The dentist nodded in agreement; it was indeed expensive, and renting a house was more cost-effective.

"Just so you know, we don't accept credit! By the way, did you bring your ID?"

Having not made any business for a long time, the broker was still hoping to close a deal and earn some money so he could improve his family's meals.

Shu Ran patted her bag: "I know the rules. I brought everything, but of course I can't forget my ID!"

The broker nodded: "Okay, are there any requirements?"

A lot of people left recently, so there are many vacant houses now, so you can take your time to choose one.

"I'd like a place with a small yard so I can grow some vegetables. We don't need many rooms, just two or three will do, my family is small..."

Shu Ran doesn't have high requirements; she'll only stay for three years at most.

The broker flipped through the booklet and quickly found it, then showed it to Shu Ran.

"These three places should meet your requirements. Shall I show you around them one by one?"

The first place was too messy and the surrounding environment was not good, so Shu Ran didn't like it.

The second place won't work either. If she wants to live there, it would need to be demolished and rebuilt, which would be a completely dangerous building, and the investment would be too large.

The third one is good, but the problem is the neighbor is not good. Subconsciously, a scan with his mental power revealed a basement next door that connects the two courtyards.

"We don't have any for rent, this is for sale. It perfectly meets your requirements. What do you think of this one? The police station is just across the street."

The man with the cleaver removed the lock and pushed open the door.

The entire courtyard is about 100 square meters, and the house takes up more than half of it.

The main room served as the kitchen, with two rooms of about 20 square meters each on either side.

There was also a sweet water well and a tall persimmon tree in the courtyard, and a simple dry toilet was set up in the corner near the door.

"Okay!"

Shu Ran was satisfied. She planned to demolish the toilet and rebuild it later. The other rooms were fine; they just needed a quick cleaning before she could move in.

Most importantly, this is Baimao Hutong on Liuan Street. The house number has fallen off and the exact number is no longer visible.

It shouldn't be too far from number 169.

Since she had already made the purchase, Shu Ran and the broker agreed on a price, and Shu Ran even gave him some extra money, asking him to help find some people to rebuild the toilet.

I took my ID to complete the property transfer.

The identity document was scanned and copied by Shu Ran in Liaocheng, with only slight modifications.

The name is Shu Ran, but the age has been changed to be a few years older, and the description of her features has also been altered. There's no way around it; her height is a major flaw.

The rest remained largely unchanged.

Shu Ran even learned the accent from Liaocheng.

On the day the property was transferred, the broker helped to call people to start repairing the yard. The toilet was rebuilt according to Shu Ran's requirements, and a bathroom was added.

After staying at the inn for one day, Shu Ran moved into the cleaned new house the next day.

The room was empty, with little furniture, except for a kang (a heated brick bed) that took up most of the space.

This won't do; we need to buy some more furniture.

After spreading out her bedding, Shu Ran rushed off to the street to buy supplies.

In the morning, we bought all the pots, pans, rice, flour, cooking oil, and other necessities, and then rented a car to transport them all back.

At noon, I took the broker out for lunch and mentioned that I wanted to buy some furniture, preferably secondhand or used items.

"Oh, you've come to the right person. I've helped you deal with a lot of furniture."

In the afternoon, the broker took Shu Ran to the secondhand market and found Boss Li, who also ran a pawnshop in addition to secondhand goods.

Upon seeing the visitor, Mr. Li, who was fanning himself with a palm-leaf fan, stood up from his rattan chair: "Oh, Mr. Mao, what brings you to my business today?"

"Hey~ Mr. Li, how are you? You've made a fortune again lately!"

Mao Qiang cupped his hands in greeting and introduced, "This is Shu Ran. She wants to buy some furniture from you. Would you like someone to take her to see some? I've made a bold claim that your place has the most complete selection, the best quality, and the most reasonable prices."

"Mr. Mao, you flatter me." Mr. Li waved his hand, greeted Shu Ran, and said, "Come on, Xiao Qiang, come and take the guests inside."

Through the cramped shop, Shu Ran followed Xiao Qiang to the backyard.

The middle is open, and there are warehouses on three sides for people to go in and select.

"This is?"

Shu Ran stopped in her tracks. She saw a half-person-high carved wooden sideboard lying haphazardly on the ground, along with a note on it.

[Sobbing! There's something heavy in my tummy, could I be pregnant?!]

Upon closer inspection, it was indeed there. At the very bottom of the sideboard was a hidden compartment containing a flat wooden box filled with silver coins in a haphazard manner.
