Chapter 845

"Is there enough time?"

"It’s fast to drive by myself. Since this return has caused such a sensation, if I don’t visit those elders, it would chill their hearts."

Mr. Zhang nodded in agreement.

Next to him, Zhang Guofu reminded, "The elderly couple who sold this courtyard have already left, so you don’t need to go."

Zhang Guoqing was taken aback and then remembered the elderly couple’s age, nodding his head. It’s really a pity, but it’s better they left, to avoid future suffering.

He instinctively looked outside at the courtyard. He still remembered the old man who had spiritedly glared at him and scolded him for being a reckless man, fit to be a soldier.

Now he really had become a soldier, the flower beds had long been turned into vegetable gardens, and the old man who cherished flowers had indeed left.

"Did they sell all those flowers and plants?"

Zhang the Second disdainfully said, "Not just the flowers and plants, for a bit of money those beasts would do anything. Not even three months after the person passed, they stirred up trouble for some stuff."

Zhang Guoqing’s eyes lit up when he heard this. He had long wanted to acquire that batch of ancient books, especially the missing canopy bed from the complete furniture set, and the necklace from the Wang Baiwan family that somehow disappeared into the void. What was the relationship between the Wang Family and his past life? These mysteries might soon see the light of day.

"Didn’t the old man distribute everything before he passed? I remember he had even arranged for his grandsons’ wedding and childbirth expenses in advance."

"That’s where the problem lies."

Zhang Guoqing looked at his brother, who had transformed into his second sister-in-law, and just wanted to laugh.

"Originally, the old man said before he left to distribute the private money among those not yet married after his wife’s passing. Unexpectedly, just after he was buried, the old lady fell into a fit and also passed away, and the second family believed that the eldest who lived with the old lady must have taken that sum of money."

Zhang Guoqing recalled the old man’s money-hiding skills, "Could it be that neither family found it, and the old man hid it somewhere?"

Zhang the Second laughed, "At that time we also advised them to go back and search properly, but in the old second’s family, there was a little granddaughter of over five years old who didn’t attend the funeral due to a zodiac taboo. The little girl was left beside her great-grandmother and claimed she saw her great-grandmother take a wooden box from the cabinet and run away."

Well, such a young child wouldn’t dare to lie to the police.

"But the eldest’s wife also had witnesses saying she never entered the bedroom before that. It’s a case of conflicting statements from both sides. Later, they decided to sell the old folks’ possessions to make up the marriage money for those not yet married. That’s why the eldest brother advises you not to visit."

Zhang Guoqing nodded, "Thank you, big brother. Dealing with such families, even without any issues, tends to cause trouble. Who would have thought such a wise elderly man would have such inept sons."

Mr. Zhang looked at his three sons, "As you can see, that’s why you must educate your children well. Especially when they get married in the future, pay more attention to the opposite party..."

Zhang Guoqing listened to his father’s advice on how to choose a life partner, and by the time he finished speaking, it was already past eight o’clock in the evening, so he bid farewell and left.

The northwest wind howled, as there was still a pedestrian path cleaned during the day inside the county town. The couple walked out from the guesthouse, and the closer they got to the suburbs, the more their ankles sank into the snow with each step. Dodging the patrol team, moving quickly as the destination was not far, Zhang Guoqing found a quiet corner, and the couple quickly disguised themselves.

Only then did Zhou Jiao, hurriedly brought out from the guesthouse, have the chance to ask, "How do you need me to cooperate with you?"

"You’ll be my little brother. After the deal is done, I’ll have them move the items to a spot not far from the provincial road turnoff where you can keep watch in silence."

Zhou Jiao nodded knowingly. A couple appearing would be more noticeable than two brothers.

"I’ll first have their young ones keep you company over there, and after everything is moved we settle the remaining payment. Once we have the money, we’ll leave as soon as they do. Do you see any problems with this?"
