Chapter 230 It’s better to rely on yourself than to rely on others
"Dad, what should we do now?"
Seeing that all the yamen runners had left, Brother Xu looked at the tightly closed door in front of him and asked Xu Qingrong hesitantly.
"What to do? Go home!"
Xu Qingrong's face was covered in blood and he was extremely angry. Although his sons were all big and strong, they were of no help at all.
It is better to rely on yourself than on others. Since the previous plan has failed, but we have already come this far, if we pull these things back to the rented yard, won’t it attract more people’s attention?
At this time, Xu Linzhi had no better idea, so she had to agree to Xu Qingrong's method. After several people worked hard, they finally moved all the things into the innermost yard of Maple Leaf Lane.
Now that they have no other options, they have no choice but to overcome their fears and prepare to settle down here first.
Yuxiu had also received the news by this time. Considering what had happened in Xu Linzhi's family some time ago, she guessed what that family was planning.
Ha ha……
What a good trick to divert trouble to others and kill someone with a borrowed knife. It's a pity that although my father is a little naive, he is smart in important matters and did not give those people any opportunity to take advantage of me.
Soon Xu Qinghe came back with his men. These past few days he was busy arranging medicinal materials and supervising the production of medicine. It sounds very busy, but his overall spirit was much better than when he was free a few days ago.
The father and daughter talked about what happened today. Xu Qinghe meant to find someone to cure Xu Qingrong's family's problems, so that he would not be treated as a soft bun.
"Dad, his family got so much money this time. It would be fine if they just hid away and lived a good life, but they want to harm people. Don't blame us for fighting back."
Yuxiu knew that her father was simply sending someone to cause trouble for that family, which would be too easy for them.
"Now those gold and silver items have become hot potatoes. Even if we don't take action, they can't keep them. It's better for us to take them first and wait for the right opportunity to use them for good deeds, which can also be regarded as accumulating merit for their family."
Didn’t they want to put things into other people’s yards today?
In fact, it was not that troublesome. Yuxiu decided to go there in person to help Xu Linzhi's family solve the problem.
"There are indeed many people watching them. If you go there, you have to be careful and don't get discovered."
Of course Xu Qinghe had no objection to Yuxiu's decision. He just gave his daughter a few words of advice, and the matter was finalized.
Fearing that the night would be long and full of troubles, Yuxiu quietly came to Xu Linzhi's yard as soon as it got dark.
Although it was freezing cold outside, Yuxiu still felt that there were many vague figures hiding around her when she came in.
It seems that what my father said is true. These people are guarding here just to try to see if they can get a piece of the pie.
It’s just a pity that they are destined to work in vain today.
The Xu family's yard was brightly lit. In addition to a few people from the Xu family, there were also a dozen strong and sturdy men.
The clothes on these people were a little worn out, and their faces did not look very good. It seemed that they were servants temporarily bought by the Xu family just to help protect the safety of the family.
"Zhi Er is the one who came up with the idea. Now that I have these people to guard me, I can finally put my mind at ease."
In the room, several members of the Xu family were sitting together. In the middle of the room were placed large boxes, all of which were now opened and they were counting them carefully.
"I've long said that my sister is the smartest person in the family. From now on, the good life of my brothers will all depend on you..."
Brother Xu's face turned red with excitement. He stroked the gold ingots in his hands and began to imagine the good life of wearing gold and silver in the future.
"We are all family, so we should share the good and the bad together. Why are you saying these things, brother?"
A smile appeared on Xu Linzhi's face. Compared with her father and brothers, her expression was much calmer.
Although she didn't have a good life after marrying into the prince's mansion in her previous life, she had seen quite a few good things.
Even these gold, silver and jewelry that are not worth mentioning in the eyes of wealthy people are really not worthy of her attention.
From this, it can be seen that the person sent so many eye-catching things just to deliberately push himself to the forefront.
"Dad and brothers, we still can't let our guard down. Although those servants have indentures, they are outsiders after all. If someone is blinded by money and takes risks for these things, wouldn't we be in even greater danger?"
Since Xu Linzhi recovered all the memories of his previous life, he has been thinking more thoroughly than before.
"Isn't there a cellar under the rockery in the backyard? Hurry up and count the number so that you can send it in and hide it as soon as possible."
Xu Linzhi still didn't quite trust the newly bought guards, so these things had to be done by Xu's father and son themselves.
"Don't forget to take out the boxes and bamboo baskets at the end. As for the silver... leave some outside. On the one hand, we have our own expenses, and on the other hand, if someone dares to sneak in, we can deal with them easily..."
"Well, we'll listen to you. Leave some silver aside and move all the rest over there and hide them."
Xu Qingrong gritted his teeth. When they first moved into this yard, they accidentally discovered the cellar. Although it didn't look very big, it was enough to store these things.
The few of them did what they said. In order to avoid being seen, Xu Qingrong even went out to call the guards over, saying that he sympathized with their hard work and asked them to eat something to build up their physical strength so that they would have the energy to keep watch at night.
The guards were already cold and hungry, so they were of course very happy to hear their master say this. They thought that the master was considerate of them, so they thanked him gratefully and then trotted towards the kitchen.
After everyone was sent away, the Xu family father and son moved and carried things, sweating profusely. They ran back and forth several times before they finally put all the things in the cellar.
Although Xu Linzhi was still injured, she was still worried about leaving such a big thing to a few men, so she forced herself to go down to the cellar to check. After confirming that everything was correct, she personally locked the cellar door tightly.
As for the key, it was given to Xu Qingrong, the person in charge of the family, for safekeeping.
In order to be absolutely sure, Xu Linzhi asked several people to clean up the footprints outside the rockery. It's really a meticulous plan, but it's a pity.
It would be fine if these were used to fool outsiders, but at this moment Yuxiu was standing in the dark and saw every little move of Xu Linzhi's family clearly. She couldn't help but smile.
