Chapter 482: The Liu Brothers Who Tried to Steal a Chicken but Lost the Rice

Back when your father Liu Haizhong was team captain, he brought misfortune to how many families, hauled back how much stuff—there's definitely something in this house!

Just a simple sentence.

It made the three Liu brothers suddenly realize they seemed to have done something wrong.

Too obvious.

Liu Guangqi subconsciously glared at Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu; if it weren't for those two good-for-nothings, in front of the neighbors, they wouldn't have been bidding up the house price against each other.

Nor would it let the neighbors know that the Liu family had treasure.

Even Jia Zhangshi could see it clearly.

Could the neighbors really not see it?

Things are going to go bad.

That was Liu Guangqi's first thought.

He wanted to defend himself.

But the words got stuck at his lips.

And he swallowed them back down.

The leading staff member took out his work ID, showed it to Liu Guangqi, and then immediately asked the three Liu brothers to leave the Liu house.

Liu Guangtian was stunned.

What are they trying to do?

Our newly bought house, you're kicking me out?

This is a thousand-dollar high-priced house, bought for the gold and silver treasure inside; if we're kicked out, how can we recoup the cost?

As the most hot-tempered of the three Liu brothers, Liu Guangtian glared, ready to grapple with the leading staff member, but just as he raised his fist—before he could swing—the opponent used a standard grappling move, pressing him down firmly, unable to move.

Liu Guangtian refused to accept it.

After struggling a few times, seeing he couldn't break free, he started cursing.

He just blurted out the four words "Go to your mother's D".

Then something cold appeared on his head.

Even if Liu Guangtian were muddled and possessed by a war god, he now knew he was no match, instantly becoming like a frost-beaten eggplant.

They all have weapons.

How can we even play this?

Seeing the staff draw their weapons, Liu Guangfu standing aside felt a secret relief, glad he hadn't confronted them head-on like Liu Guangtian.

Liu Guangqi, however, didn't have so many careful thoughts.

He sucked in a breath of cold air.

The current situation.

Clearly unfavorable to the Liu family.

In this situation, how to preserve one's staff establishment is the proper course.

You see, because Liu Haizhong's scandal was exposed, Liu Guangqi almost got implicated; if they hadn't found evidence that Liu Guangqi moved to his parents-in-law's house on the third day after marriage, Liu Guangqi would have ended up like Liu Guangtian and the others.

"Comrade! Me!"

"Comrade Liu Guangqi, don't say anything else; from now on, we're taking charge of this place. What you need to do now is cooperate with us, unconditionally cooperate with us. If anything like that happens again, you should know the consequences."

Liu Guangqi repeatedly said he didn't dare, then he and Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu stood honestly outside, watching the staff rummage through boxes and cabinets inside their house, searching for something.

They are experts at investigating this.

It was less than thirty minutes.

A voice calling "Found it!" flew into the ears of the neighbors present.

Everyone perked up, fully attentive.

They turned their gazes toward the inside of the Liu house.

A one-foot-square wooden box was laboriously carried from inside the house to the courtyard by an adult man.

The neighbors' hearts.

Rose to their throats.

What's inside?

Is it really gold and silver treasure?

Or maybe there's nothing at all.

It's a mixed bag of feelings.

Led by Liu Guangtian, the three Liu brothers now hoped there was nothing inside; they also figured out the situation—having treasure wouldn't keep it, and might even implicate the three brothers. With the mindset that if they can't have good, neither can others, they hoped there was nothing inside, preferably just some bricks or stones, to show their innocence while possibly framing Shazhu.

Because Shazhu had demanded a thousand dollars from them.

Liu Guangfu and the others resented Shazhu.

The neighbors, on the other hand, hoped there was something inside, unrelated to them, but just to feast their eyes; at least tomorrow they'd have something to talk about at the Yagangchang.

Under the gaze of countless people.

The box was opened.

Looking at what came into view, countless neighbors gasped.

Gold bars, pearl necklaces, jade bracelets and such almost filled the entire wooden box.

There were neighbors who couldn't keep their mouths shut.

They voiced doubtful questions.

"Hey, Jia Zhangshi was right—the Liu family really does have treasure."

"I said the Liu brothers buying a house was abnormal, and indeed it is—they came for the stuff inside the house."

No way, Liu Haizhong had already confessed everything back then, so why is there still something?

How much money would that be?

If converted to money, could it fill a whole car? With that much money, you'd have to spend it till the Year of the Monkey and the Horse month.

Liu Guangtian, Liu Guangfu, Liu Guangqi—really let my old woman speak the truth, you Liu family three brothers are all scumbags who aren't even human. Jia Zhangshi, after the staff took away those gold, silver, and treasures, said to the Liu family three sons: "You're just doing that… whatever protection, asking us to be filial—we can't let our old mother live her whole life in the countryside." I spit.

Jia Zhangshi, I'll kill you.

Can't afford to provoke a grasshopper.

I bully leeches.

Liu Guangtian's heart already ached to the extreme from the confiscation of the treasures, and on top of that he suffered Jia Zhangshi's verbal mockery.

Couldn't hold back any longer.

He raised his hand and slapped Jia Zhangshi twice.

If the neighbors weren't mistaken, it seemed two bloody teeth flew out of Jia Zhangshi's mouth.

Really ruthless.

That makes sense.

If it were them, they'd also have to give Jia Zhangshi a good beating.

A strange thing.

Jia Zhangshi, who had just been slapped twice, didn't summon the Necromancy Summoning Technique as usual, calling Old Jia and Little Jia to help her; instead, after being slapped twice by Liu Guangtian, she squeezed out a smile.

He bent over and picked up the two teeth.

She shouted at Liu Guangtian, "My old woman's going to find the Jiēdào, you vicious words for retaliating against my old woman," and bolted out of the courtyard.

Liu Guangtian seemed to understand something, shouted, and chased after her.

If Jia Zhangshi really reported him to the Jiēdào, Liu Guangtian would certainly be charged with retaliating against her, and at that point not only might he lose his job, he'd very likely be locked up.

Which is more important?

Liu Guangtian knows the difference.

Liu Guangqi and Liu Guangfu paid no heed to Liu Guangtian; to them, the one who hit Jia Zhangshi was Liu Guangtian, and even if he ended up in jail or executed, that was his affair, none of theirs.

If Liu Guangtian were to go in,

That house would then be short one person's share.

The gold, silver, and treasures inside had been confiscated, but this house had after all been bought back at the high price of one thousand dollars, so they should try to make up for it as much as possible.

The two brothers wrangled over the house's property rights.

They started fighting over it.

One blocked the doorway, not letting the other in.

The other strained to get inside.

The onlooking neighbors shouted that it was exhilarating.

He bluntly said the Liu family three brothers were all scumbags and beasts.
