Chapter 190 A Small windfall

"Medicines? It's obvious those Japanese devils invented harmful drugs, especially since they were found in an interrogation room. They couldn't possibly be anything good." Upon hearing that drugs had been found in the interrogation room, based on her many years of experience, the aunt was 100% certain that those drugs were used for torture to extract confessions.

"Yes, Dad and Uncle thought the same thing. We rescued someone not long after we went up the mountain. After that, Dad went down to inspect the interrogation room, while Uncle and I stayed up here."

Suddenly, four men appeared, holding a person wearing a black hood. After my uncle and I dealt with the four men, my uncle stripped them of their clothes and discovered that they were wearing the kind of underwear that Japanese soldiers wore, which looked like diapers.

They didn't find any identification on them, but they did find a tattoo on one of them that I couldn't understand. What He Caiwei didn't know was that after her father and uncle took those people back to the hospital, they returned to their original spot, intending to wait and see what happened.

The three injured men remained in the hospital and were cared for by the local police. Before their identities were known, they were placed in separate wards and guarded by dedicated personnel.

"Then, have you dealt with that interrogation room? We can't let them continue to harm people there..." Wu Meifang's biggest wish was to take down that interrogation room.

“My dad and I have filled in that interrogation room. Auntie, let me tell you, we even made a small fortune there.”

The interrogation room was a small room, about 20 square meters, filled with boxes, all of which were full of gold and antiques. He Caiwei said with a hint of pride, "I've always been very lucky with money. If I took out all the stuff I've collected over the years, I could become the richest person in the entire empire."

"It's all yours, it's all yours! You're the richest person in our family! A room of just over twenty square meters, filled to the brim with gold, and you call it a windfall... Sure enough, that's the kind of thing our little rich girl would say." Wu Meifang was amused by her little niece, and her depressed mood of the past two days finally improved a bit.

"That's right, Auntie. Let me tell you, money makes the world go round. I added gold to my second brother's treatment, and now his face is much better. It's peeling right now." He Caiwei had seen it, and her second brother's face had almost recovered. She had specially added 5 kilograms of gold.

Of course, adding more gold doesn't mean the person will be cured immediately. Rather, the injuries there will heal quickly, and the merchants outside will provide some according to the requirements, followed by a slow recovery.

She had told her aunt that it would be five days before she could see her second brother, not that all her injuries would be healed in five days.

Such a serious injury could not possibly be healed in just 5 days; that's no joke.

"Really? That's great! You don't know, his face is the thing he cares about most. If it becomes ugly, well, he'll cry." Wu Meifang finally had the mood to joke with her sister-in-law.

"Aunt, we'll see Second Brother in just one more day. Don't worry, as long as he recovers from that treatment, he'll definitely be fine." Aunt's biggest concern right now is Second Brother. Only when he's doing well can she feel at ease.

"Actually, I really didn't want your second brother to go to the Fierce Tiger Camp. The missions there are just too dangerous. But I don't know what your uncle was thinking. He insisted on sending him to the Fierce Tiger Camp. Do you think he's tired of living?"

"By the way, Weiwei, those people upstairs seem to be up to something again. You guys need to be careful here too." Wu Meifang felt that although people were still starving, they already had the energy to cause trouble.

Because my aunt lives in the capital and holds a high position, the capital is the first place to be affected by any political developments. Since my aunt said that, then there are already people in the capital who are making moves.

It's only the end of 1963, how come there's already some activity?

Since 1955, there have been educated youth going to the countryside. However, at that time it was voluntary, and there was no requirement for one person from each household to go. This movement has been going on for seven or eight years now, and quite a few people have gone to the countryside. Now, going to the countryside not only brings subsidies but also wages. Although it can't compare to working in the city, it's still considered very good in the village.

“Hasn’t the Down to the Countryside Movement already started several years ago? What kind of trouble are they trying to cause now? Life has only just started to get a little better, why are they making a fuss again?” He Yuping’s face scrunched up.

Although their children all have jobs, who knows if those people will require each household to send one person? If that policy is implemented, then everything will be over.

Their family also includes Lu Qingyue and her twins. Lu Qingyue is the right age, while the twins are still quite young. Since everyone in the family works as laborers, if someone with grudges were to report them, they would have to make some concessions to protect their family.

Therefore, they now need to make arrangements for their family members in preparation for various future policies.

“Daughter, you’re turning 18 now, why don’t you two go and get your marriage certificate? After you get it, transfer both of your household registrations to one book. Sister-in-law, how long until Qingyue graduates? If it’s about time, let her get her diploma first, and then bring her here.” He Yuping remembered that she had seen some books about historical records in her daughter’s online space before.

Although the timing doesn't match up, the progress is faster than the timeline in the book.

To people in the capital, Pengcheng is a poor and remote place, so bringing a young girl here won't attract much attention.

"Yes, get the marriage certificate first, then just treat everyone to a simple meal at the textile factory. We're promoting thrift and avoiding extravagance these days."

We should keep a low profile and not give anyone a reason to suspect us. But don't worry, once things have calmed down, your aunt will definitely throw a big party.

Qingyue still has a year before graduation, so the real chaos is still some time away. It's not too chaotic right now; the only concern is that some people might be jealous and report her. Aunt Lu knows that things are like this now because she feels guilty towards her daughter. There's nothing she can do; she's afraid of being made an example of, so she can only make things difficult for her niece.

She is also very worried about her daughter's situation, mainly because the two of them hold very high positions, and Lao Lu has received a lot of attention from higher-ups in recent years.

The top leader trusted him, and Lao Lu was very cautious in his work. However, many things were beyond their control. In this chaotic world, there are all kinds of people.

Recently, several people have been inexplicably reported, making her feel uneasy at night. In addition, her youngest son has gone missing, and her weight has been plummeting lately.

“Aunt, after we go home this time, all the gold and silver jewelry, foreign language books and dictionaries must be put away. Don’t leave too much grain out either. When you go back this time, my brother and I will go back together. We will dig another cellar, this time a more hidden one, and hide everything that can be hidden in the house.” He Caiwei thought that although the movement would not start for several years, she still wanted her aunt to put away these conspicuous things first.
