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

And so, Feng Qingqing and two other female educated youths began searching their room.

First, everyone's attention was focused on the large box at the foot of the bed, as they all knew that if there was anything valuable, it would definitely be in that box.

Sure enough, Feng Qingqing immediately took out the key, opened the box, and took out one by one the items that had appeared in front of the other educated youth.

There were biscuits, peach crisps, canned goods, and a whole host of other treats, which made the other educated youth envious. This was the 1970s, a time of food and drink scarcity, when everyone was starving. These sweet treats were something many people could only afford to eat a couple of times a year.

Other items, such as clothes, shoes, and fabrics, were also taken out one by one.

But Feng Qingqing knew that the box was locked, and under normal circumstances, Jiang Yun couldn't tamper with it and put anything in.

So she carefully observed Jiang Yun's movements and eyes, and sure enough, she saw Jiang Yun occasionally glancing towards the foot of the bed.

The box was also at the foot of the bed, or rather, it must be under the mattress. Having roughly figured out where they had put the money, Feng Qingqing continued her unhurried movements.

But as he reached into the box, seemingly to grab something, his other hand reached under the mat on the kang (heated brick bed).

I touched it a couple of times and sure enough, I felt a bulging little bag that felt like it contained money.

Feng Qingqing moved into the spatial dimension without making a sound. She then took out some small trinkets for girls from the box.

It mainly consists of bracelets, beads, hair clips, and the like. She was spoiled from a young age, and her parents often bought her trendy things to play with.

Jiang Yun was extremely interested in these things. She took a step forward and stuck her head out to look closely.

Feng Qingqing could tell from her expression that she was up to something, and that all this was about the necklace she had mentioned earlier.

However, it was all for nothing. As the saying goes, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

Hopefully, she can withstand this blow in the future.

So, everything in the box was taken out, and even the pockets of some clothes were searched again and again under Jiang Yun's instructions, but there was still nothing there.

At this moment, Jiang Yun suddenly said, "Let's check under the box too." Hearing her say this, everyone moved the box out without much thought and carefully searched the surrounding area, including under the kang mat.

The educated youth next to him had already turned the kang mat over.

Upon seeing this scene, Jiang Yun's face suddenly turned pale, her lips trembled, and her eyes widened. She wanted to say something, but she managed to control her emotions.

A pair of eyes suddenly turned to Jiang Hongjun, who was standing to the side watching with amusement. Jiang Hongjun also looked incredulous. Seeing his sister's dismayed expression, he shook his head, indicating that he didn't know what was going on either.

By this time, Jiang Yun knew that Feng Qingqing must have known about their plan, and had even gone along with it, taking the small bag containing the money that they had arranged to plant as a trap.

But the closer it got to this point, the calmer Jiang Yun became. In the end, the reason she was able to thrive in her previous life was not only due to external assistance and support, but also because she herself had many merits. It was just that she was too cruel when dealing with Feng Qingqing.

Although the attempt to frame Feng Qingqing failed, there was still a gain: the necklace from that space is neither on her nor in the box containing her valuables.

But since Feng Qingqing knew about their plan in advance, it's possible that she put the necklace somewhere else.

Although Jiang Yun thought this way, the thought that the two hundred yuan he had only intended to spend was actually a huge sum of money, and it was gone just like that.

But she knew that since her brother had already put the money in, it wouldn't just disappear for no reason; it was most likely still in Feng Qingqing's hands.

Thinking of the contents of the telegram from home, Feng Qingqing currently has a large sum of money. She doesn't know where she's hiding it, but no matter where it's hidden, she's not going to let it go like that.

Jiang Yun thought bitterly, feeling resentful, but now was clearly not the time. She should wait until she and her brother came up with a better solution.

No rush, Feng Qingqing will always be here.

After searching the houses of several educated youths, no useful clues were found.

At this moment, the captain frowned and looked at the victim, Jiang Yun, wanting to see what she would say next.

After all, it was a considerable sum of money, and he couldn't just let them settle it like that.

Jiang Yun, with a sad and distressed expression, walked gently to her two older brothers and whispered something to them.

In the end, after discussing it, the siblings decided not to go to the police station to report the case.

After all, several people knew that Feng Qingqing had clearly tampered with things, but they didn't know how she had done it. Moreover, judging from the captain's expression, he obviously didn't want them to report the case and damage the captain's reputation.

Even if they insist on reporting the case, besides offending the brigade, it's impossible to find out who did it. Moreover, there are some steps in the process that they are afraid of being exposed, since people who have done bad things are always a little guilty.

After making this decision, Jiang Yun looked at the brigade leader with red eyes, as if to say, "I'm swallowing this bitter pill for the sake of the brigade's reputation." But since she had lost two hundred yuan, her meaning was clear: she wanted to see if the brigade could provide some appropriate compensation.

The captain also understood and thought it was true. It just so happened that the team's original scorekeeper was going back to have a baby, so he asked Jiang Yun to temporarily fill in for her as a way of comforting her.

Seeing this, Feng Qingqing thought to herself, "Look, the female lead from the previous life really knows her stuff. When it comes to making decisions and figuring out what's best for herself, she's absolutely brilliant."

Although the plan failed and I lost two hundred yuan, it was better than nothing. Moreover, I gained goodwill from the brigade leader and the other educated youths and earned a reputation for prioritizing the overall situation, so the trip was not in vain.

Feng Qingqing thought coldly.

The captain was satisfied with the decision of Jiang Yun and his siblings, and praised their pragmatism and consideration for the overall situation, after all, this was no small sum of money.

He was thinking that in the future, he could give priority to the Jiang siblings in some matters.

But after that, the atmosphere in the educated youth compound became very subtle. That evening, the new and old educated youths who were having dinner together spoke much less than before.

At the same time, they also pondered the events that had occurred in the courtyard that morning. Most of the people who had seen through it came to the same conclusion: the Jiang siblings and their cousin Feng Qingqing were not only at odds, but their relationship was extremely bad. Furthermore, the Jiang siblings were not to be trifled with; they were resourceful and had a large number of followers.

This made the older educated youth feel a sense of crisis. After all, before the new educated youth arrived, although some of them had a slightly better relationship, at least there wouldn't be any major conflicts on the surface, nor would it cause trouble for others.

This resulted in a situation where, although no one said anything openly or commented much after the incident, everyone felt that the Jiang siblings and Qi Hongsheng were neither to be offended nor to befriend, and there was a subtle sense of aversion towards them.

Feng Qingqing clearly sensed it, but it was a good thing for her, so she didn't say anything more.

That night, after everyone else had fallen asleep, Feng Qingqing entered the space, wanting to see what she had gained that day.

In the corner of the storage room, there were two small bags. Jiang Yun picked up the pink bag that looked like it belonged to a girl. She squeezed it and found it was quite thick. She poured out the contents and counted them. There were indeed two hundred yuan. These two hundred yuan were a large sum of money on Jiang Yun. Even if she had some money to hide, it wouldn't be much. This was good news for Feng Qingqing.

At this time of year, being broke not only means a decline in living standards, but also that many things are impossible to do. After all, nobody works for free.

In his past life, Jiang Yunke used money to pave the way, and things progressed very smoothly.

In this life, she used a scheme to her advantage, cutting off her and her sycophant's escape route, and watched how she rose to power smoothly.

The other small bag, clearly belonging to a well-off man, was made of a relatively rare blue polyester fabric.

The bulge looked like it contained a considerable sum of money. Feng Qingqing was immediately delighted; this was a big spender. He poured out a huge pile of coupons, including not only the "Great Unity" coupons but also all sorts of other coupons, such as meat coupons, cloth coupons, and cotton coupons. After counting them in a few minutes, Feng Qingqing couldn't hide the joy on her face.

There was a total of 682 yuan in cash, which was a huge sum of money at the time, indicating that Qi Hongsheng's family was quite well-off.

Feng Qingqing put all the cash together. She calculated that before going to the countryside, she had 4900 yuan left after buying things. With the 882 yuan she received this time, she now has a total of 5782 yuan.

With this money, she can better plan her and her man's future, and her space can also generate income.

There's no rush; let's wait until she marries the man before doing this.
