Crossing 70: Fish in the Pond Have Good News

Chapter 469 Returning Things

The villagers scattered like birds and beasts and disappeared completely in an instant.

The educated youth followed behind, pointing, talking and laughing, which was very annoying.

Jiang Yu walked to Yi Chi, tilted her head to look at his expression, and asked him if he was happy.

We are very happy when we catch the murderer, so won’t we also be very happy when we see the accomplices suffer the consequences later?

Yi Chi's eyebrows curved, and the corners of his mouth were flying with a smile, "I'm very happy."

"After the property is handed over in the afternoon, you have to take a closer look at those people's painful expressions. If anyone's expression is not right, write it down and I will help you check it at night." Jiang Yu took the lead. She was also hungry and wanted to go back to see how the sweet potatoes were roasted.

Yi Chi quickly followed, "No need to be so troublesome."

"How can this be called trouble? You have never experienced the joy of treasure hunting, so you don't understand." Jiang Yu put his hands behind his back and walked briskly.

Yi Chi smiled, "What kind of treasure is this? Let's go find something more precious later."

"What precious thing?" Jiang Yu became curious.

"All kinds of beautiful and precious objects." Yi Chi replied. He even thought that if Jiang Yu liked to play treasure hunt games, he could use the things in the secret library to make a maze for her and play with it slowly.

Jiang Yu raised his eyebrows and didn't say anything good or bad.

In the afternoon, the assembly horn sounded for work, and villagers sighed and groaned in front of and behind the brigade headquarters and in all directions.

Jiang Yu followed the educated youth to the open space of the brigade headquarters in high spirits, waiting to see the villagers' unhappy and bitter faces.

Wu Xiaoxiao suddenly handed her a handful of melon seeds, looked at Jiang Yu with her big round eyes, and whispered, "Sister Xue and I bought these. Let's eat them together."

She is the same age as Jiang Yu, but because she has a childish face, she looks much younger than Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu looked at the melon seeds handed to him, chose to accept them, and then whispered thank you.

Wu Xiaoxiao shook her head and said, "You're welcome! Sister Xue's milky melon seeds are really delicious."

Jiang Yu nodded in agreement. The recipe Xue Li used was a good thing that had been summarized by several generations, so of course it tasted great.

Several female educated youth picked up a handful of melon seeds and started eating melons and watching the show.

In order to see clearly what the treasures that made the villagers so heartbroken were, the male educated youth crowded to the front.

When Liu Qiang passed by Grandma Yang's family, he deliberately elbowed their son, causing the man to scream in pain and smile triumphantly.

As the only heir to the property, Yi Chi was pulled to the opposite side of the crowd by the police and squatted on the ground to look at the things everyone handed over.

When the external situation suddenly changed, the Yi family transferred most of their assets. Although not much was left in the open, that was for their own family.

As a local wealthy family, even a single hair falling from the Yi family would be a huge fortune for ordinary people.

At that time, the main hall, rooms, ornaments in all the rooms, accessories on the dressing table, and dishes in the kitchen were all divided up by the villagers at the first opportunity.

The blue brick beams were moved away at night by those who were still determined to dig for treasure.

Except for the flat stone floor of the Yi family, everything else was eaten up by this group of shameless people.

Then Jiang Yu looted some things. After the police entered the construction brigade, they searched the house and took away some things that were visible. The things that were handed over now should be the most hidden and valuable things.

Yi Chi felt complicated as he looked at the somewhat familiar things placed in front of him.

When he was young, these things were common objects that could be found everywhere in the house, and he broke quite a few ornaments and bowls. However, it was not until more than ten years later that he truly realized the value of those things.

A pocket watch shaped like a sunflower was placed on the table. Yi Chi looked up at the person who handed it over. It was the little girl from the second branch of Old Wang's family. She looked at the pocket watch with reluctance.

The metal surface of the pocket watch is shiny, which means it is often played with by someone.

Yi Chi lowered his eyes, completely ignoring the pleading expression the little girl gave him.

He didn't know where Yi Chi would throw the watch in the end, but he would definitely not say that he would give it to her. These people were not worthy of it.

The little girl took one last deep look at her pocket watch, then returned to the crowd at the urging of the people behind her.

As the things in front of him increased, Yi Chi's memory gradually became insufficient, because he was too young when the accident happened, and he had no idea how many things were in his house. Half of them were familiar to him, but he had no impression of the rest.

But since the villagers had taken it out, the police officer just let them accept it.

Yi Chi took it with a clear conscience. It was not enough to just take back these things. A lot of the food and money spent by those people over the years were bought with his family's wealth. If he really wanted to settle accounts with them, these villagers should sell themselves to pay off his debts.

The police comrade kept working non-stop, recording frantically, "Where did these people hide their things? We looked for them twice last time and couldn't find them."

"Toilet?" another policeman asked uncertainly.

"That makes sense. We really didn't check the toilet at that time."

??? Yi Chi looked up. Is this true? If you say so, should I take these things or not?

At this moment, the roof of a house in the middle of the first squad suddenly collapsed with a loud bang. The sound was quite loud and everyone standing in the brigade headquarters heard it.

Jiang Yu stretched his neck but could not see anything. "Which house collapsed?"

"Oh my god, I'm so scared. Which family is so unlucky that their house collapsed?" Grandma Yang said at the same time, patting her chest and taking a deep breath.

Jiang Yu glanced at her, cracked a melon seed in her increasingly listless gaze, and spat out the melon seed shell.

Grandma Yang quietly moved behind her son and didn't even bother to watch the fun.

When Wu Xiaoxiao saw this scene, his eyes lit up and he stared at Jiang Yu's expression, trying to imitate it.

Just when the villagers were worried that their houses had collapsed, Zhuang Shouren's brother came over carrying a piece of wood.

The wood was round, but extremely heavy. The man had a hard time carrying it and walked with great effort, approaching this side step by step.

Although he walked with difficulty, it was obvious that he was in a good mood, as if he had a sense of freedom after being freed from his restraints.

That was the beam of the old farmer's house. Everyone who had been to their house knew about it because they had all exclaimed at its unique fragrance. However, the farmers had little knowledge and did not know the value of this wood, so no one set their eyes on the beams of his house.

The reason why Yi Chi cared so much about this piece of wood was because he could never let go of the most painful memory of his childhood. How could this group of people use this piece of wood as a beam of the house!

But now the wood is back, and Yi Chi doesn’t know what to do with it.
