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

Chapter 40 Old Mrs. He fainted from anger

Besides the food, Feng Qingqing shone her flashlight around and found a bulging object wrapped in a handkerchief in the corner of the box. Lifting one corner revealed some tickets and loose change. Feng Qingqing didn't count them carefully and just put them into her spatial storage, planning to sort them out more thoroughly when she had time.

After rummaging through the box again and finding nothing, she moved to another cabinet in the room where valuables could be stored. She immediately put a lock on it as well, unlocking it with the key and shining a flashlight inside. Sure enough, it contained some grains: a basket of about 100 eggs, about 50 jin of rice, a bag of flour weighing about 40 jin, about 10 jin of noodles, two bags of cornmeal (estimated to be about 200 jin), and some sesame seeds, red beans, mung beans, and other miscellaneous grains. There was quite a lot, and Feng Qingqing packed it all up without hesitation and took it all to her space, leaving nothing for the He family.

Next, Feng Qingqing's goal was the 10 yellow croakers that He Dashan and his wife had obtained in her previous life. She stood there thinking for a while. She remembered that in her previous life, she would occasionally see Old Lady He locking the door when she was home alone and staying in the house by herself for a long time.

On two separate occasions, Feng Qingqing clearly noticed marks left by forceful dragging on the floor of the cabinet. If she hadn't been quiet and reserved at the time, often just keeping her head down and working, she might not have noticed.

Thinking of this, Feng Qingqing immediately moved the cabinet a few meters away from its original position. She then noticed that the area behind the cabinet wasn't covered in dust like it had been neglected for a long time; instead, it was clean and tidy. Feng Qingqing thought, "This might be where the good stuff is."

At this moment, Feng Qingqing slowly squatted down, holding a flashlight in her hand, carefully observing every place here, not missing a single detail. Soon she discovered that there was a place on the ground that was obviously different from the surrounding soil. It was not so firm, but rather looked like it had been disturbed recently.

Feng Qingqing was overjoyed, sensing that this might be where the old hag hid things. Without a word, she took out a small shovel from her spatial storage and began to dig gently, bit by bit. Because the soil was loose, she soon encountered an obstacle. Feng Qingqing put the shovel away and then used her hands to carefully pry it open, revealing the opening of a small jar.

Feng Qingqing persisted, and soon dug the entire jar out. She gently patted off the soil, then slowly opened it, reaching inside with her hand. Sure enough, she pulled out a large, golden yellow croaker. There were five large yellow croakers and five small yellow croakers in the jar. After taking out all the croakers, she also found two silver bracelets and two gold bracelets. It seemed Old Lady He was quite wealthy.

Feng Qingqing left them nothing, taking it all with her in her spatial storage.

By this point, Feng Qingqing knew that the He family had practically emptied their pockets. As for the secret stash of money in the other two sons' and daughters-in-law's rooms, she didn't care and didn't waste any more time. Just before leaving, she suddenly remembered the piece of cured meat hanging in the room, and without hesitation, she took it with her.

Before leaving, Feng Qingqing kindly put most of the things in the room back in their original places, closed the windows, and then patted her bottom and ran back to the educated youth settlement.

When Feng Qingqing returned to the educated youth settlement, she found nothing unusual. She then quietly lay back down on the bed. Unable to fall asleep, she began to organize what she had just gained at Lao He's house.

Everything else was clear. Feng Qingqing mainly sorted out the small bag she found in the box. The small bag was lying quietly in the storage room. Feng Qingqing emptied out all the contents of the bag, which was half tickets and half money of various denominations.

Feng Qingqing sorted through the money and found a lot of various coupons, including meat coupons, cotton coupons, cloth coupons, soap coupons, etc. As for the money, Feng Qingqing carefully counted it and found that there was a total of 87 yuan and 5 mao. She put this money together with the 352 yuan that He Yong'an had given her before.

After sorting through the money and tickets, Feng Qingqing checked the planting and breeding situation in her space. Several kinds of Chinese medicine seeds were growing very fast, probably because of the addition of the spiritual spring. The leaves had already sprouted, so it seemed that they would be ready for harvest soon.

Meanwhile, in the other breeding area, besides the hen that lays two eggs a day, the four chicks and four ducklings have grown much larger. Because she harvested a lot of eggs from the space, Feng Qingqing sold quite a few to the space, earning 20 points in return. She now has 60 points.

Feng Qingqing was calculating how to quickly acquire points in the space. It required a lot of things, and she spent more than she earned. So she slowly drifted off to sleep.

The next morning, Feng Qingqing was probably exhausted from working the night before. Everyone else in the room was up but she was still asleep. If Hu Fangming hadn't nudged her to wake her up, she might have slept until who knows how late.

After getting up groggily and quickly washing up, Feng Qingqing and Hu Fangming took the steamed buns she had made that morning, ate a little, and headed towards the brigade headquarters.

Before they even reached the brigade headquarters, they noticed that many people who were originally heading towards the headquarters had turned around and were walking towards the brigade exit. Feng Qingqing pretended to be curious and grabbed an older woman she had chatted with a few times before, asking what was going on. In fact, she knew in her heart that the fact that Old He's things were missing had probably been discovered.

The older woman initially didn't want to pay attention, but upon seeing it was Feng Qingqing, the words of refusal that were on the tip of her tongue turned into:

"Something seems to have happened at He Dashan's house. They've all gone to check on it. You should go too."

After saying that, he didn't continue and jogged to catch up with the person in front of him.

Feng Qingqing naturally wanted to join in the fun. She took Hu Fangming's arm, and the two walked together toward Lao He's house. Along the way, there were groups of team members who had heard the news and rushed over.

Before they even reached He Dashan's house, Feng Qingqing was startled by the fact that there were usually few people around, but now there were layers upon layers of people.

There are so many people here! Even a few young people are climbing on the wall. It's clear that there's really no leisure or entertainment these days. The villagers' gossip revolves around these families who are constantly having domestic conflicts.

As you get a little closer, you can hear Old Lady He's high-pitched curses:

"Who was it that had a son without an anus, a maggot-oozing, pus-filled bastard who destroyed all my things? God, I can't live like this anymore!"

Those piercing screams were so heart-wrenching and pitiful to hear.

"Ah, ah, I don't want to live anymore! Let me die! What's the point of living? That damned bastard! If I find out which scoundrel stole it, I'll chop him up and feed him to the dogs."

Then she turned and cried to the captain and several other officers:

"Captain, what are we going to do? Our house has been completely robbed, we have nothing left! You have to do us justice!"

No sooner had she finished speaking than she gasped for breath, her eyes rolled back, and she fainted. The people next to her caught her quickly. Seeing that Old Lady He had fainted, they all breathed a sigh of relief, after all, this old lady was quite a troublemaker.

The group decided to let the He family get some grain in advance, since they couldn't let them starve.

Seeing that the drama had come to an end because of Grandma He's fainting, everyone was a little unsatisfied. It was rare for the team to have such a lively piece of gossip.
