Hearing his wife’s words, Yun Aiguo nodded in strong agreement and said confidently,
“Wife, don’t worry. I’ve already signed her up to go to the countryside.”
“And she’s never known that we’re not her biological parents. Out of filial duty alone, she has no choice but to go.”
“After all, we raised her for so many years and even paid for her to attend high school. That’s already a great act of kindness on our part.”
At this, a smug smile appeared on Zhou Miaomiao’s face. Then she seemed to think of something else.
“Husband, then the things her biological parents left behind—let’s divide them evenly among our own children. That’s what our children deserve.”
Yun Aiguo felt that since that couple hadn’t returned for so many years, they were probably dead somewhere outside.
Thinking it over, he saw nothing wrong with it and nodded.
“Alright, of course that’s fine.”
“We raised Yun Youyou and let her receive so many years of education. That’s already more than enough for her.”
“Those things should naturally belong to our own children.”
At last, the day he’d been waiting for had arrived. Yun Zhenguo’s eyes shone with naked greed.
“Dad, Mom, I want to use that money to get married and buy a job position. That way I’ll have a stable income and can take better care of you.”
Yun Youran was just as delighted inside, though she kept it off her face.
“Dad, Mom, I want Yun Youyou’s job quota. For a girl, having a stable job is the most important thing.”
“As for marriage, I already have someone in mind—Brother Yuanchao. Since that money-losing good-for-nothing is going to the countryside anyway, give me her fiancé as well!”
“Brother Yuanchao is honest and ambitious. I think we can spend our lives together.”
After speaking, Yun Youran picked up a piece of meat and placed it into Yun Aiguo’s bowl, saying softly,
“Dad, eat more meat. It’s good for your health.”
Yun Aiguo smiled and nodded. For a moment, the atmosphere in the family was unusually warm and harmonious.
Hearing all this, Yun Youyou let out a long breath of relief. Good, very good. Not biological.
That meant her revenge no longer needed any restraint.
Using her Max-Level Psychic Ability, she scanned the area and discovered a hidden chamber beneath Yun Aiguo’s bedroom.
The next second, her eyes lit up—five crates of gold bars and five crates of Great Unity banknotes, one of which had already been partially used.
Not bothering to listen to their idle chatter any longer, Yun Youyou strode straight toward Yun Aiguo’s bedroom.
After entering, she wrapped the treasures in the underground chamber with psychic power and directly transferred them into her Personal Storage Space.
“Original owner, you suffered for so many years, never knowing your biological parents left you this much wealth.”
The thought still didn’t fully satisfy her. She scanned again and discovered a metal box hidden inside the right-side wall. Wrapping it with psychic power, she waved her hand—
The metal box appeared in her palm. Opening it, she found 2,350 yuan inside, along with various ration coupons.
Continuing her sweep, she found a red cloth bundle in the wardrobe containing another 240 yuan.
Yun Youyou understood—this was most likely the resettlement allowance issued by the Educated Youth Office for going to the countryside.
“I can’t touch the obvious things yet. I’ll have to wait until they leave.”
With that thought, she went to the main hall, only to find it empty. Zhou Miaomiao was washing dishes in the kitchen.
After scanning with psychic power and confirming that only Zhou Miaomiao and herself were in the house, Yun Youyou didn’t hesitate. She knocked Zhou Miaomiao unconscious—
Then began collecting everything in the kitchen.
The wok, coal stove, cleaver, chopping board, wooden cabinets, cupboards, water buckets, vegetable-washing basin, ladle, windows, small stools, coal briquettes…

Oil jars, salt containers, soy sauce, vinegar jars—five jin of rice, five jin of enriched flour, one jin of pork, eight jin of cornmeal, and ten eggs—all were swept into the Personal Storage Space.
Looking at Zhou Miaomiao lying unconscious in the now completely empty kitchen, with cold wind blowing in through the window—
“Mmm. Perfect. Now, Yun Youran’s room.”
Yun Youyou was a woman of action—once she decided, she acted. She quickly arrived at Yun Youran’s room and collected everything she saw.
The bed, bedding, desk, wardrobe, mirror, hair ties, curtains, windows, shoes—everything went into the space.
She glanced at the empty room and nodded in satisfaction.
“Too bad it’s daytime. Otherwise, I’d take the whole house with me.”
Next was Yun Zhenguo’s room—emptied clean. Then she returned to Yun Aiguo’s room and cleared it out as well.
Coming back out, she saw that the main hall was still intact.
A table, four chairs, a cabinet, a thermos—everything was swept away.
Finally, she entered the small side room where she herself had lived.
“How pitiful. Just a wooden plank bed, two patched outfits, and two pairs of ill-fitting cloth shoes.”
“For the sake of future scenes, I’ll take these too. Oh right—Liang Yuanchao’s house can’t be spared either.”
Following the original owner’s memories, Yun Youyou used Teleportation Ability and arrived directly at the Liang residence. To her surprise, no one was home—perfect timing.
She wrapped the entire Liang household in psychic power and scanned again, quickly discovering that the entrance to the underground chamber was beneath the dining table in the living room.
“Heh—hiding it in plain sight. Too bad it doesn’t fool me.”
After pressing the mechanism, she descended into the passageway. Embedded luminous pearls lined the walls, illuminating the underground chamber as brightly as day.
Inside, rows upon rows of crates were stacked neatly.
Yun Youyou muttered,
“My goodness—how much did Liang Weijun embezzle?”
Her fingers brushed across crate after crate of heavy wealth. Her gaze first landed on rows of glittering gold bars.
Twenty-five crates of gold bars were stacked together, each one radiating an alluring glow.
“How much blood and sweat did this cost?”
Next, her eyes shifted to the other side—thirty-two crates of jewelry.
Jade necklaces, pearl earrings, agate bangles, diamond rings…
Precious gemstones set into exquisite ornaments, each piece dazzling and priceless.
“Thirty-two crates of jewelry…”
Yun Youyou let out a mocking laugh.
“The Liang family really knows how to enjoy life.”
Moving further in, she saw eighteen crates of antiques and calligraphy paintings. Some of the scrolls had yellowed with age, yet the finesse of their brushwork was still evident.
The porcelain pieces, though weathered by time, remained smooth as jade, emitting a gentle sheen.
“Eighteen crates of antiques and paintings…”
She sighed lightly.
“Leaving these with you would be a waste. I’ll take them.”
Finally, her gaze fell upon ten crates of Great Unity banknotes, stacked neatly.
“Ten crates of Great Unity…”
She shook her head.
“Liang Weijun, your greed truly knows no bounds. I’ll help you keep these—and report you while I’m at it.”
At that moment, the Star-Moon System’s electronic voice sounded in her mind:
“This is nothing, Host. Liang Weijun is keeping a mistress outside. The treasures in her underground chamber are twice as much as what’s here.”
