Mo Beihan raised a brow. The Sun family?

He did not remember much about them, but he seemed to recall that they used to work for the Gu family as servants. They had done fairly well too.

They had depended on the Gu family for a good life, but later on, they bit the hand that fed them. A family like that was certainly a nasty piece of work.

Mo Beihan said, “Of course I can. But do you know where they buried the things?”

Gu Qingyao immediately smiled. “You forget that I have a metal detector in my interspace. In fact, you were the one who bought it!”

Mo Beihan was taken aback. They really did have such a thing.

In his previous life, he would bring her traveling whenever he had time. So her interspace had many things they needed on their travels, including many strange tools.

Mo Beihan tapped Gu Qingyao’s little nose. “That’s no problem then. When shall we go?”

Gu Qingyao’s eyes crinkled in a smile. “Let’s go tonight. I’m not willing to delay another day. The Sun family has lived so comfortably all these years because of these things! Let them boast. I’ll get all the things back, and then we’ll see what they do.”

It was such a small request, of course Mo Beihan agreed to it.

Gu Qingyao and Mo Beihan agreed on a time to meet that night. Because the Sun family were in the Southern Lake Brigade, they did not have to go so early. They could wait until late at night, and Mo Beihan would pick her up.

Both of them had watches, so they agreed on a time.

They did not follow the main path in the brigade. The Sun family lived in the northern region of the Southern Lake Brigade. So the two of them went around the upper portion of the brigade.

The snow was still falling and it was quite cold. But Gu Qingyao was wildly excited. The moment she thought of the Sun family’s crestfallen expressions when they discovered that their hidden treasure had all disappeared, she felt emotional.

Hmph!

You’ve used the Gu family’s treasure to lead a comfortable life, then you look down on the Gu family and bask in your small achievements.

The villagers usually slept very early because they did not want to waste money on fuel. So almost everyone finished their tasks in the day and slept when it got dark.

Especially in winter, when there was nothing much to do.

It was already late at night and the entire brigade was quiet.historical

When they reached the back of the Sun house, she handed the metal detector to Mo Beihan. As usual, she went around the surrounding houses and lit sticks of incense to induce drowsiness, ensuring everyone would sleep soundly.

By the time Gu Qingyao returned, Mo Beihan had already identified two spots.

Gu Qingyao took a hoe out of her interspace and began digging. Mo Beihan used a shovel and worked twice as fast. His capacity for manual labor was extraordinary!

“The soil here has been loosened!” Mo Beihan exclaimed after digging for a while.

Gu Qingyao also sensed it. Her expression was ugly. “It’s almost the end of the year. They must have taken some things to barter.”

Mo Beihan glanced at her and knew that she was upset, so he soothed her. “We’ll take the remaining things back first, then I’ll take a look around their house. Maybe they haven’t used it all. This is buried so deeply, it’s inconvenient to take a little at a time. They would certainly take more and are unlikely to have used it up so quickly.”

Gu Qingyao pursed her lips. Although she was a little upset, she had no choice.

The Sun family had used the treasure for so many years. She could never regain what they had spent in the past.

The two dug for a while before they finally dug up a box. The moment Gu Qingyao looked at it, she could tell the things belonged to the Gu family.

There were four boxes altogether. Gu Qingyao ground her teeth. “How many things did this family steal from the Gu family?”

Mo Beihan said, “Old Master Sun was doing so well in the Gu family. Later on, when the Gu family was trying to survive, he had the authority to obtain many things if he wanted to.”
