Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 914

Chapter 914: Chapter 787: Speaking of Past Kindness

Lei Tianming looked at him hesitantly and pushed him: "You were sixteen the year before last, if you continue messing around like this, even the community will have opinions."

Xu Dajun smiled wryly and lowered his head.

"Dajun, I’m telling you this sincerely as a brother. You can’t live like a bum; we can’t embarrass our younger siblings. Go to work, in the future, half of Maotou’s medical expenses can be reimbursed."

Xu Dajun looked at the ants crawling on the ground, pinched them lightly, and they died. As Young Master Liang asked him to run an errand, he somewhat realized that if he continued down this path, he’d truly be dragged onto a pirate ship.

There’s still time to escape now; in the future, it’ll be necessary to run as soon as Maotou’s condition stabilizes. But if there wasn’t really no way out, how could he bear to leave Beijing?

With this job, he wouldn’t have to take his younger brother to remote places to suffer, wouldn’t have to worry about losing their two rooms, nor about Maotou adapting to life elsewhere.

Thinking of various things, Xu Dajun looked up at the concerned Lei Tianming, gritted his teeth, stood up, and dusted off his pants. He looked into the distance: "Accompany me for a drink."

Lei Tianming didn’t object and accompanied him to the ward to greet his mother. The two left the hospital together, bought two jin of bulk liquor on their way back to the compound.

With some snacks, the two tucked away in a secluded spot, enjoying the cool evening breeze, and downed two bowls of white wine. The silent Xu Dajun finally talked about what he was worried about.

If it were outsiders, he wouldn’t plan to say these things. But the Liang Family is powerful; he dared not provoke it, nor did he want to implicate a good brother someday.

"... A very large ancient house, during the day sometimes quite a few people go there to tour. When night falls and it’s pitch dark, Young Master Liang hires five men to sneak inside."

"For me, the task in the past half month was just one thing. Every night in the shadows, watching how long those five men went inside? Did they come out with anything?"

"... Later, the more I thought about it, the more it seemed off; no matter how big the yard is, it shouldn’t take that long. It seems they’re looking for something."

Lei Tianming poured him a cup of wine, distractedly listening.

"When I found out more, I was terrified and broke into a cold sweat." Xu Dajun drank the alcohol in one gulp, "This yard is very famous, you can casually find someone to inquire for some information.

But the strange thing is, each person who mentions this yard has a peculiar expression. Later I treated people to drinks, only to learn this big yard has an owner, and it was borrowed from a high official in Beijing for local use."

Lei Tianming frowned.

"What concerns me most is, one person swallowed quickly and revealed to me that when the local department took over, someone wanted to find the rumored treasure in the yard, but hesitated to offend the family, so dared not touch it."

Lei Tianming shook his head: "A bunch of lunatics. If there’s a treasure, why would they lend it out? If there was, it would’ve been taken long ago."

"Hehe, you don’t know the story behind this, let me tell you about the history of the Gu Family, then you’ll understand what’s really going on."

As Xu Dajun started talking about the well-known history of the Gu Family, Lei Tianming felt somewhat familiar, but couldn’t pinpoint it, so he listened quietly.

"... All were dead, and the house was thought ownerless. Unexpectedly, a few years ago, the family’s grandson appeared. Goodness, it’s said that rows of military vehicles drove in, stirring quite a commotion."
