The entire room burst into laughter at his childish words.

Gu Qingyao patted his head. “You’re not foolish. Little Nine is very clever. Do you still remember the words I taught you?”

Little Nine’s eyes brightened. “I remember, I remember!”

Gu Qingyao laughed. “See! I told you that you’re very smart!”

Little Nine nodded vehemently. “Yes, yes, yes, Little Nine is very clever, especially clever!”

Gu Qingyao: “…”

The new year was about twenty days away. Gu Qingyao thought about the things that were with the Sun family. She must get them back as soon as possible.

Or else, once the year ended, the Sun family would certainly exchange them for good things on the black market in order to celebrate the new year.

These things belonged to the Gu family. It would be wasted on those people!

But she was not sure where the items were hidden in the Sun house. In any case, it must be in the vicinity of their house.

The only hiding place she knew of was somewhere else.

It was at the Sun family’s eldest daughter-in-law’s home, in the Poplar Brigade.

The Sun family had taken many things from the Gu family. Although the Gu family had no proof, they were well aware of it.

The Sun family’s eldest son and his wife had secretly hidden much of it, and even Old Master Sun was unaware of this. Also, the eldest son and his wife had stolen a portion of what Old Master Sun had hidden. To prevent the family from discovering what they had done, they hid it near the eldest daughter-in-law’s natal home.

Only the eldest son and his wife knew about this matter. Even the eldest daughter-in-law’s natal family remained in the dark.

Gu Qingyao knew the actual location because later on, the eldest daughter-in-law’s natal family had accidentally dug it up. They did not know that these things belonged to the Sun family and thought that they had obtained all these precious objects by chance, so they had exchanged it for food on the black market.

Her mother doted on her daughter, so she had given some of the things she had bartered to the eldest daughter-in-law. She could not contain herself, but told her daughter what had happened, and disaster had struck.

They had an argument and even though they tried their best to cover it up and remained vague about the details, the Gu family knew what was going on, and of course, they knew where the treasure had come from.

This incident had happened many years later in her previous life, which meant that the treasure trove in the Poplar Brigade should still be intact.

That evening, Gu Qingyao went out and headed for the Poplar Brigade.

She knew the location, so all she needed was an opportunity to dig it up. But she had to wait for nightfall.

It was dark by the time she reached the Poplar Brigade.

In these times, the villagers could not bear to waste lamp oil. Once night fell, most people would go to bed. She deliberately waited for a while, so that she could act later.

After about an hour, she saw that the entire brigade was silent. No one was walking around in the nearby households. No one was chatting with others through the doorway. They had all gone to bed.

She lit a stick of incense to induce sleep, which would ensure that everyone in the vicinity would sleep soundly. She even checked to ensure that they would not be waking up anytime soon before she ran over to the hiding place and began to dig.

The things were hidden in the corner of the eldest daughter-in-law’s natal home’s vegetable garden, which was in the backyard. There were many bushes there and it was a very secluded spot. But now that it was winter, everything had withered.

In her previous life, the family had found the treasure because they were trying to dig a pond.

The soil in the vegetable patch was relatively loose. But now, it was snowing and frosty, and it was difficult to dig. Gu Qingyao had no choice but to get lots of hot water from her interspace and pour it on the ground to make things easier.

But the soil became very wet and sticky!

After digging for more than a meter, she finally saw the box!
