Reborn in a virtual world, before the house was taken away

"Mom, let's send a telegram to my sister first, and tell her to be careful with Hongwei and Hongjun over there. That brat has lost her heart with our family, and we don't know how she'll treat her younger brother and sister."

The mother and daughter had calmed down by then. Although there were many things to consider, they both agreed that money was the most important thing.

The two went to the post office and sent a telegram. Since telegrams were now charged per message, they only sent a few words to save money.

"Where can you make money if you don't have a job?"

This message is sent for two reasons: firstly, as a reminder, and secondly, in the hope that the three people will receive the money.

As for how the two of them will explain to Jiang Yong after they return, and how they will face the ridicule and jeers from relatives and neighbors, that is something to imagine.

Lanshan Brigade

That morning, after working continuously for a week and with the harvest in the fields temporarily coming to an end, the team leader gave everyone a day off, and the educated youth were finally able to catch their breath.

Around 9 a.m., most of the educated youth were still in the courtyard when they heard someone calling Jiang Yun's name. Jiang Yun thought it was her parents sending her something, but when she saw it was a telegram, she almost gasped when she read the contents.

Knowing the gravity of the matter, she quickly called her two older brothers, who were still bragging to others, to a tree some distance from the yard, and then showed them the telegram she had received.

The two were also surprised after reading it. After all, when they went to the countryside, their older brother's job was already a done deal, but this still went wrong. But when they thought that it was Feng Qingqing who was behind it, and considering what Feng Qingqing had done all along, they understood.

During this period of time, Jiang Yun had tried his best to restore his relationship with Feng Qingqing, but Feng Qingqing always had a cold and indifferent expression, neither accepting nor rejecting him, which made Jiang Yun very angry.

She knew that if her brother's job fell through, coupled with the 600 yuan they had scraped together, the family would have a very difficult time for a long time, let alone be able to support them in the countryside.

The only way to get out of their predicament now is to successfully obtain Feng Qingqing's necklace space. Only then can her family have a chance to turn their lives around. Otherwise, it will be difficult.

It seems that we can't get that necklace through normal means, so we'll have to resort to unconventional methods.

She discussed it carefully with her two brothers for a while, and only returned to the educated youth compound when she felt that everything was in the right place.

Meanwhile, Feng Qingqing was overjoyed at the opportunity to have further contact with He Yong'an. Through her tireless efforts and various serendipitous encounters in different places over the past few days, they had managed to exchange a few words when they met.

They weren't exactly close, but at least they had further contact, which paved the way for her subsequent plans.

Just then, she saw the three Jiang siblings walking over. Among them, Jiang Hongjun, who couldn't hide his feelings the most, glared at her with hatred, his eyes seeming like he could devour her.

The other two also appeared strong and composed, though not as obviously as Jiang Hongjun.

After thinking for a moment, Feng Qingqing realized that the news of her older brother losing his job in the city had reached their ears. However, seeing that they were able to remain so patient and keep it a secret, it seemed that something was about to happen. Feng Qingqing couldn't help but feel excited.

She enjoys causing trouble. Lately, she's been so focused on cultivating her relationship with He Yong'an that she's neglected her revenge plans. It seems these people are just providing her with the raw materials.

And so, two days passed uneventfully.

Early that morning, before all the educated youth had gotten up, they heard Jiang Yun, who had just gotten up, suddenly shout. The sound was so loud it seemed to break through the roof beams, startling everyone, whether they were awake or not. Everyone in the room turned to look, while the male educated youth stood outside the door.

The two Jiang brothers, in particular, were pacing anxiously at the door, but since it was a girls' room, they couldn't just barge in.

When Jiang Yun rushed out to explain the situation to her two older brothers, everyone learned the whole story: the 200-odd yuan that Jiang Yun had brought from home had gone missing.

In those days, let alone 200 yuan, even 20 yuan was a considerable sum in this rural area. So some of the educated youth felt that this was a serious matter and quickly called the brigade leader over.

When the captain arrived and heard everyone's mixed reactions, he finally understood the truth: a theft had occurred, and the amount involved was not small.

He hesitated for a moment. Reporting it to the police would affect the evaluation of outstanding individuals and advanced individuals in Lanshan Brigade. If he didn't report it, he was afraid that the educated youth would make a fuss and take the matter to the county's educated youth office.

Just as the battalion commander was in a dilemma, Qi Hongsheng stepped forward and said to him:

“Captain, I know that the team usually doesn’t report things to the police these days, but this amount is not small, and we are also afraid that if this happens again, there will be no peace.”

After saying that, he paused, perhaps thinking about how to begin his next sentence.

"Captain, how about this? We won't call the police, but this is a lot of money, so we still need to find her. Jiang Yun is a woman, and usually, apart from the other women she lives with, no one else goes to their room, so..."

Before he could finish speaking, the people in Jiang Yun's room were all glaring at him angrily. If those eyes could kill, Qi Hongsheng would have been dead a few times over.

Qi Hongsheng knew that saying this would offend these people. But compared to offending the brigade leader, he was willing to let the female educated youth suffer.

Qi Hongsheng ignored them and continued:

"So I suggest we search the other people's bags and boxes. Jiang Yun just said that her money was still there yesterday, so it should still be in that person's bag or with them in such a short time. Captain, what do you think of my suggestion?"

For the captain, this was like a godsend. As long as he wasn't taken to the police station, everything else was negotiable.

He nodded hastily in agreement.

But while she agreed, the other female educated youths who shared a room with Jiang Yun disagreed. Why were they being searched without any evidence, just based on baseless accusations? Besides, who could just search a girl's luggage whenever they wanted?

And so, the two sides became entangled.

Finally, Feng Qingqing voiced an idea that was acceptable to both sides and that she had been planning for a long time: all educated youth in the educated youth compound, regardless of gender, should have their bags, luggage, and boxes searched, and should be treated equally, not just a few of them.

Logically, since everyone lived in the same courtyard and everyone was a suspect, the brigade leader thought this request was reasonable and agreed to it.

And so, the search of all the rooms in the educated youth compound began in order.

The first person to be searched was Qi Hongsheng. He was probably the first to suggest that his case be searched in order to prove his innocence.

At this moment, Feng Qingqing stepped forward again and said:

“I asked a few of us women to search Qi Hongsheng and the Jiang siblings’ beds ourselves, while the others could just watch.”

After speaking, he looked around. The brigade leader agreed with this point. He could also see that the educated youth who came to the countryside together might not get along with this girl named Feng Qingqing. It was normal for her to have such a request.

And so, Feng Qingqing and two other female educated youths began searching Qi Hongsheng's bed.

Feng Qingqing knew that Qi Hongsheng had brought a lot of money with him, and that he was one of her main targets in this scheme.

They first gathered Qi Hongsheng's things together, while the other two picked and chose and searched through them, and Feng Qingqing mainly searched for the box that looked like it was hiding things.

She opened the box first, but instead of taking things out one by one like the others, she reached inside and felt around the four corners of the box.

Sure enough, she immediately touched a small cloth bag that was clearly for holding money, and without changing her expression, she moved the bag into her spatial storage.

At the same time, they began to examine the other items one by one, and finally the two educated youths who had been searching through the items came over to check everything again. This time, Qi Hongsheng was ruled out as a suspect.

Qi Hongsheng, who had been watching the whole thing, assumed they hadn't found Jiang Yun's bag of money and stood by with a relaxed expression.

After Feng Qingqing finished, she glanced at him and silently pursed her lips.

Next up are the others. This time, Feng Qingqing didn't get involved; her main goal at the moment doesn't involve anyone else.

Some people have to be placed in the back of the queue, such as Lü Yulan.

When she arrived at the Jiang brothers' place, knowing that the two brothers were penniless, Feng Qingqing only conducted a routine search. As expected, she did not find a single copper coin.

Some people had some loose bills in their bags or pockets, but they could explain where they came from, and the amount and the bag were obviously inconsistent, so no one said anything.

When they searched Feng Qingqing's place, she spoke frankly and openly:

“I will search my own luggage myself. I suspect that these people have ulterior motives this time.”

After saying that, he looked at Jiang Yun and his sister with a suspicious expression.

The others, including the captain, had their own doubts, but they didn't show it and remained noncommittal about what she said.

They tacitly approved of her decision to search herself, because it made little difference to them. Although it was Feng Qingqing searching herself, they were all watching and would know immediately if anything happened.

Moreover, in their view, girls probably don't want others to touch their things, including the luggage of the previous girls, which they searched together with female educated youth they knew.

Although Jiang Yun was somewhat dissatisfied and wanted to search the place himself, he didn't want to make it too obvious, judging from the reactions of others.

Moreover, they had a complete grasp of Feng Qingqing's every move and whereabouts throughout the day, making it impossible for them to thwart their plan.

But just to be on the safe side, she kept a close eye on Feng Qingqing's every move the whole time, without even blinking.

By now, the two sides have completely broken off relations.
