Reborn in 1979, with a female educated youth lying next to me.

Normally, Wang Liqiu felt confident speaking and acting whenever Liu Jia was around.

Today, however, is different.

It was late at night, pitch black. Why did Liu Jia bring me here?

Wang Liqiu gasped and glanced at Liu Jia discreetly.

Could it be that Third Brother also wants to get married soon?

Seeing that their second brother had gotten married, the three of them were also anxious, so when no one was paying attention, they ran to the ancestral graves to say a few words.

The village's customs are passed down from the older generation.

Every household is the same; when something happy happens, people instinctively think of their deceased loved ones.

Similarly, I'll also think about telling them this good news.

If there's a wish in your heart, you'll also murmur it a few times.

Considering that we live in a new era and no one keeps ancestral tablets at home anymore, Liu Jia's late-night visit to the gravesite must have been for the same reason.

There's good news in the Liu family, and Third Brother wants to tell our ancestors.

Thinking this through, Wang Liqiu nodded.

Beside him, Liu Jia began sharpening a shovel.

"Brother, wait a minute! Don't use the shovel!"

"Brother, no matter what you're thinking, we can't use any weapons!"

"Now that you own a factory and are a college graduate, finding a wife shouldn't be difficult. Don't rush it!"

Just a moment ago, Wang Liqiu was thinking that Liu Jia brought him here to express his feelings to the ancestors.

But seeing Liu Jia deftly grab the shovel, Wang Liqiu instinctively realized that he had been wrong.

Perhaps Liu Jia has something bothering him.

No matter how unhappy you are, you can't go against your ancestors!

Wang Liqiu's voice trembled as she grabbed Liu Jia's arm.

"To be honest, everyone knows that no one can stand what the Cui family has done."

"Why not just find a chance to teach him a lesson later? It doesn't have to be like this!"

"How about I throw a few more firecrackers in front of his house?"

Wang Liqiu tried to persuade Liu Jia while pulling him along.

There was only one goal: to prevent Liu Jia from acting impulsively.

Seeing that Liu Jia insisted on walking forward, Wang Liqiu jumped up in anxiety.

At this moment, Liu Jia wished he could shut Wang Liqiu up.

"Stop yelling! Why are you making such a fuss today? Who said I'm going against our ancestors? Look closely, is this our family cemetery?"

"Brother, even if it's someone else's graveyard, you can't run away!"

After saying that, Wang Liqiu gulped down and swallowed.

Liu Jia was speechless and could only lower his voice to explain.

“I’m going to dig up trees, not graves. You’ll see what kind of ambition that is.”

Qiuzi was stunned.

"Third Brother, so you wanted to cut down the tree?"

"What if I don't dig up the tree? It's the middle of the night, and I have nothing better to do than go to someone's grave!"

Hearing Liu Jia say this, Wang Liqiu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Just now, I was so scared I almost fainted.

"You scared me to death, Third Brother. I thought you were upset..."

Liu Jia interrupted Wang Liqiu after he had only heard half of what she was saying.

I'm not that stupid.

Anyone who provokes me will get their revenge, and even if I'm unhappy about it, I won't bring up the dead.

Ignoring the stunned Wang Liqiu, Liu Jia looked around, locked onto his target, and immediately began to act.

I heard it's been raining for the past two days. It's not the freezing season yet, so digging for something shouldn't be too difficult.

But as long as he thought about it, Liu Jia felt the difficulty when he actually started doing it.

Before long, Liu Jia's forehead was covered in sweat.

Hearing Liu Jia's breathing become uneven, Wang Liqiu, who was standing nearby, quickly grabbed the shovel.

"Brother, you take a break, I'll dig!"

After saying that, Wang Liqiu, just like Liu Jia, started digging the soil shovel after shovel.

Liu Jia didn't say anything, wiped his sweat, and sat down to rest.

Neither of them was particularly fast, but Liu Jia was certain that what he was looking for would appear soon.

Based on the time difference, those silver dollars should not have been mined yet.

In his previous life, the silver coins under the big tree were discovered by Erlaizi.

Secondly, his son gambled away a considerable amount of money.

The debt collectors would curse at his doorstep all day long, but no one paid any attention to it.

Later, Erlaizi was forced into a corner and had no other choice, so he started to have wicked thoughts.

There must be a lot of trees in this area, and they're said to be all wild.

Erlaizi wanted to cut down a tree and sell it for some money.

Unexpectedly, while digging up the tree, they unearthed a jar of silver coins!

Of course, nobody knew about this.

If Erlaizi hadn't gotten into trouble, he probably would have taken this secret to his grave.

Unfortunately, man proposes, God disposes; despite this windfall, the second son was still unable to keep it.

Thinking of that small jar of silver dollars, Liu Jia's heart stirred.

Erlaizi wanted to exchange the silver dollars he dug up for cash, so he thought about going to the city.

They hitched a ride on a mule cart.

Unexpectedly, the mule cart got spooked while crossing the river and plunged into it!

Finally, the elderly Erlaizi drowned, and the silver coins were scattered in the river.

The mule cart driver was a good swimmer and thankfully escaped with his life.

Remembering what Erlaizi had said on the way, they finally found Xili Village.

It wasn't until then that everyone understood what had happened.

As for those silver coins, everyone discussed them for quite some time.

Some say that ill-gotten gains should not be kept.

Some also say that, secondly, the son couldn't handle such great fortune and was ultimately taken away.

Liu Jia didn't believe in that superstition.

Now that I know this clue, wouldn't I be a fool not to use it?

"Third Brother, can we take a break? I'm exhausted!"

Wang Liqiu's arms were trembling.

Digging isn't tiring, but having to throw the soil aside and repeat the digging motion over and over again can be quite exhausting.

Liu Jia didn't say anything, took the shovel and continued working.

They hadn't been digging for long when suddenly, "crack!"

The shovel made an unusual sound.

Liu Jia was overjoyed.

We found it!

"Brother, what's going on? Did we run into something evil?"

Wang Liqiu's eyes widened, and her voice began to tremble again.

Liu Jia waved his hand.

"It's okay, we found it!"

"What? Let me see."

As they were talking, Wang Liqiu leaned over.

What I saw was a jar.

"My God, brother, could this be someone's ashes? Let's go!"

Liu Jia grabbed Wang Liqiu's arm.

"Wait a minute, I told you to leave but you wouldn't."

"What? Isn't this an urn for ashes? Could there be treasure inside?"

Despite saying that, Wang Liqiu didn't believe what she was saying at all.

This is a cemetery area; it's quite normal to bury an urn of ashes under a big tree.

If you were to say there were treasures in this urn of ashes, even the ancestors who were buried here probably wouldn't believe it!

Liu Jia slowly lifted the lid of the plate, and Wang Liqiu's eyes widened in astonishment!

……

When Guo Jianjun learned about everything that had happened to Cao Xiangyang at university, his jaw nearly dropped to the floor.

He stood there stunned for a long time, unable to utter a single word.

Guo Xiaoyan held a water glass in her hand and drank the water expressionlessly.

"So, Cao Xiangyang is now completely disgraced?"

"Not really. Few people know that Zhao Ligang is Cao Xiangyang. Everyone only knows that Zhao Ligang was in a very sorry state. As for Cao Xiangyang, I guess there are really not many people who know him."

Guo Jianjun pursed his lips.

"Yan'er, do you believe what Cao Xiangyang said in the car back then?"

"I don't know. In my opinion, it doesn't matter whether Cao Xiangyang has a relationship with Zhao Ligang or not. Anyway, this guy is too insidious."

Upon hearing Guo Xiaoyan's words, Guo Jianjun immediately nodded in agreement.

That bastard Cao Xiangyang actually dared to frame Guo Xiaoyan!

Who is Guo Xiaoyan?

That's my own sister!

Guo Jianjun felt a surge of anger welling up inside, but couldn't think of any way to vent it.

With Liu Jia's image flashing through his mind, Guo Jianjun solemnly said, "Yan'er, you'll be unfamiliar with the place and the people there. If you have any problems, consult with Liu Jia more often. Remember that!"

"I know, you've said that so many times, and I've always done what you said."

Guo Xiaoyan didn't say the rest.

Every time he sensed something was wrong, Liu Jia would give him countless reminders, to the point that he was practically tired of hearing them.

"Something came up at work today, and I can't attend Jianye's wedding. I'm so frustrated!"

Guo Jianjun raised his arm to look at his watch and said another sentence.

Originally, Guo Jianjun had already made arrangements with Liu Jia, but something came up last night and the leader had to go out.

Left with no other option, Guo Jianjun had Li Zhenhe deliver the message.

Guo Jianjun knew that Liu Jia wouldn't be angry with him about this, but no matter how he thought about it, Guo Jianjun still felt uneasy.

"I've said this several times already. If you really feel bad about it, why don't you go tomorrow?"

"Forget it, he's already married. What's the point of going tomorrow? Let's go over when we have time, buy some things, and then go."

While the two were talking, Guo Xiaolan remained silent.

Listening to Guo Xiaoyan talk about their experiences at school, Guo Xiaolan felt both envious and surprised.

Although she had never met Liu Ru, whom Guo Xiaoyan had mentioned, just thinking about her sent chills down Guo Xiaolan's spine.

They're both girls, how could she be so cruel?

They're in the same dorm, seeing each other all the time. How can they get along if they do something so disgraceful?

"Sis, how's things at your library? Is it doing well?"

Guo Xiaolan was still in a daze when Guo Xiaoyan's voice suddenly came over.

"Fortunately, more and more people are applying for library cards now, and we're getting busy too."

"You must take care to rest. While I'm away, many things have fallen on your shoulders. I can only ask you to take my place in showing filial piety."

Guo Xiaoyan didn't use any official jargon; her expression was sincere when she said these words.

Since I can't be by my parents' side, if anything happens to them, they can only rely on my older sister and brother.

Upon hearing Guo Xiaoyan's words, Guo Xiaolan burst out laughing.

"You're making us feel embarrassed. Mom and Dad are in good health now, so you don't need to worry at all. It's you we're always worried about."

"With Liu Jia around, what is there to worry about?"

Guo Xiaoyan habitually tucks her hair behind her ears.

Seeing Guo Jianjun and Guo Xiaolan staring at her in surprise, Guo Xiaoyan realized that she had said the wrong thing.

"No, what I mean is, if anything happens at the university, I have people I can talk to."

Despite this explanation, the effect was not as good as Guo Xiaoyan had imagined.

Especially Guo Jianjun.

Upon hearing Guo Xiaoyan say this, her eyes widened immediately.

"Yan'er, don't explain anymore, I know, I know everything!"

Guo Xiaoyan was so anxious that she glared and slammed the water glass down on the table.

"What do you know? You're just thinking nonsense. There's nothing between me and Liu Jia, so don't overthink it!"

"It's okay, I know you two are alright, okay?"

The more Guo Jianjun said this, the less Guo Xiaoyan believed him.

Finally, Guo Xiaoyan tossed her braid, turned around, and walked out!

Guo Jianjun secretly rejoiced.

"Do you believe me if I say nothing's wrong? Look at how anxious he is, it's like he's trying to hide something obvious!"

After saying that, Guo Jianjun quietly told Guo Xiaolan.

"Actually, I really wish he and Liu Jia would have something going on!"

Guo Xiaolan was taken aback, and slowly bit her lip.

That sense of loss welled up in my heart again.
