Chapter 9: Dealing with the Sun Family

Sun Ruiming naturally had his own plans. He knew some things couldn't be rushed. Although the old master of the Chu family was gone, he still had plenty of old friends, and for a while, those families were bound to keep an eye on Chu Yunyi.

Besides, Sun Ruiming had his own selfish motives. Why would he do all the work just to benefit others in the family?"Second sister-in-law, this matter can't be rushed."

Sun Xiaoyan, standing nearby, wasn't about to fall behind:"Third Brother, no one's stopping us now. Hurry and get Chu Yunyi to help me complete the job transfer. I won't feel at ease until it's done."

This time, Sun Ruiming agreed readily:"Fine. I'll talk to her tomorrow and have her find time to take you for the formal procedure."

That made Sun Xiaoyan happy:"Third Brother, you're the best!"

Then she added, as if remembering something:"Once the paperwork is done, I won't have to worry about the neighborhood committee forcing me to go work in the countryside anymore."

As soon as she said that, everyone in the room had their own thoughts.

Inside the space, Yunyi listened to their conversation and sneered silently:How wishful. You'll all stop smiling very soon.

Night fell. The Sun family each retired to sleep in the four makeshift rooms carved out of their 40-square-meter home.

Once she confirmed there were no more sounds outside, Yunyi stepped out of her space.

Though her current body didn't have any martial arts foundation, with two lifetimes of martial experience, something like pressing a sleep acupoint was no problem at all.

Due to the heat and cramped space, all the room doors were left open — which actually made her job easier.

One by one, she pressed the sleep acupoints of every member of the Sun family, collected all the money and ration tickets from each room, and stored them into her space. She planned to convert them into supplies and donate them later to a welfare institute in the suburbs.

This little "visit" tonight was naturally to ensure that when she dealt with Sun Ruiming, the Sun family wouldn't have the financial resources to bail him out.

After that, she tampered with all the valuable items in the house — it wouldn't be long before they started breaking down one by one.

Looking at her handiwork, she clapped her hands with satisfaction and headed home.

By the time she returned home, it was already the latter half of the night. Though she was deeply curious about the space, she still had important matters to attend to the next day. Thinking there was no rush, she decided to get some rest first — there was plenty of time ahead.

Once she helped the original owner deal with those scumbags, she'd thoroughly explore the space later.

But just as she lay down, she remembered the uneven gaps between the stones in the space. Could she perhaps use those to grow something?

The thought itched at her so much that she couldn't resist. She decided to give it a try and check the results in the morning.

There weren't any other seeds in the house, but she remembered the watermelon that Hua Wanqing had brought earlier — it was in the storage room.

She got up and went straight there.

After retrieving the watermelon seeds, she also grabbed a small spade that Old Master Chu used to dig medicinal herbs — it would serve as a makeshift farming tool.

Thinking of the well inside the space, another idea sparked.

She turned back to the cabinet, grabbed a clean glass jar, filled it with tap water, and brought it with her into the space.

Naturally, planting crops in this space was no challenge for her.

Normally, watermelon seeds should be soaked before planting, but she wasn't going to bother. She dug holes and planted the seeds — watering one half with the water she brought in, the other half with water from the space's well. She would check later to see the difference.

After finishing all that, she exited the space. If she didn't rest now, the sun would rise before she closed her eyes.

Scene change – The Shen Family

In the Shen family study, the light was still on. The man behind the desk wore a dark expression."The Gu family clearly wants to go all out against us."

"Master, this time the Hua family also secretly helped them quite a bit."

"Unbelievable. They helped Gu Xibei find a doctor before — that was already going against our Shen family. Now they openly side with the Gu family? That Hua family really doesn't know how to read the times."
