She reclaimed her family property and broke off her engagement to go to the countryside.

Chapter 212 The Past of the Ji Family and the Wang Family
Ji Chiyan sighed heavily when the Wang family was mentioned.

"Speaking of which, the connection between our two families is quite extensive."

What? There's such a thing? Even Ji Shuyan didn't know.

"Are you talking about the head of the propaganda department?"

“Yes, that’s him.

Long ago, the Wang family worked for our family. Back then, they all had indentures, meaning they were servants.

Later, one of their ancestors gained the favor of our forefathers, who returned their indentures to them, thus freeing the Wang family from slavery and allowing them to regain their innocence.

However, this group of people did not leave the Ji family, but continued to serve us.

At that time, one branch went to the village to take charge of affairs.

After that, life became difficult, with constant fighting.

My great-grandfather felt that Zhuangzi's works didn't necessarily belong to anyone, so he sold a lot of them and exchanged them all for gold.

Without land, many of their servants were dismissed.

Most of the Wang family members left, with only a portion remaining, namely the family in the village, who became our long-term laborers.

After two more generations, the land was divided up, but fortunately we didn't have much left, so the loss wasn't too great.

However, these farmhands were no longer necessary, so the Wang family members were also sent away.

Is Wang Chuanfu one of this group of people?

"No, he was among the first batch to leave."

Later, when he came up, he even made a special trip to visit my home.

They even asked a lot about the past, including the ancestral home.

As Ji Shuyin listened, a possibility suddenly came to mind.

"Could it be that this Wang Chuanfu is after our family's property, and that's why he's trying to find out about us?"

"That's what I thought too. At that time, the ancestral home was no longer there, so I moved to another place."

Most people can't find it, so they just brushed it off.

But this person kept coming to my door every few days, and eventually I got really annoyed and said a few harsh words to him.

And that was the end of their contact.

At this point, Ji's mother also remembered some things.

"Back then, he even said you were putting on airs, that everyone is equal now, and you still act like a lord!"

"So, from that time on, Wang Chuanfu harbored a grudge against our family?"

"Perhaps, it's all my fault for not taking precautions earlier."

"Dad, how can you blame yourself? Once he had these thoughts, there was nothing you could do to stop him."

"Yes, there's no need to blame yourself. That man's wolfish ambitions have been brewing for a long time."

At this point, she finally understood.

Because the Wang family ancestors had always served the Ji family, they knew about the Ji family's wealth.

In the early years, people didn't have enough to eat or wear.

Once this problem is solved, the idea is to solve it once and for all.

What method should be used?

The best thing is to find a lasting treasure.

The Ji family is the first choice.

No wonder Wang Xinyu was so interested in her; it turns out he wanted to humiliate her now that his parents weren't in the city.

abnormal!
"Actually, I met Wang Chuanfu the night before I left."

"What?"

"what happened?"

The family members reacted quite strongly to this.

"It's nothing, he just told me that he would get whatever he wanted."

"Our Ji family's wealth was all earned with the help of the Wang family."

I see. No wonder Dad told me not to inquire about this person when I mentioned him!

It turns out, it was all to protect her.

"By the way, Dad, I have some documents here that I found at the Wang family's place, but I can't understand them."

With a wave of his hand, all the documents appeared.

Ji Chiyan was a little nervous and hurriedly asked a question.

"You went to the Wang family, did they do anything to you?" Well, this reaction was indeed unexpected.

"It's okay, Dad. I'm so smart, who can bully me!"
Take a look and see if there's any useful information.

I always felt that our family's affairs were inextricably linked to him.

Look..."

As he spoke, he pointed out his only small discovery.

……

None of them were idle; there were so many documents to review.

……

In the middle of the night, she quickly called on everyone to hide these things.

Some daily necessities and food were left behind, and some of them were placed in the house.

The rest were all packed and buried outside.

If there are too many, and someone finds out, that would be a disaster.

"So that's how it is, it really is him."

"Dad seems to have found something, let's go take a look."

"it is good."

Ji Shuyin and Ji Shuyan quickly went inside, while Ji Chiyan was still furious.

“Come and see, this really was done by Wang Chuanfu.”

The usually calm and composed father was so angry that the others were extremely nervous.

"Dad, what happened?"

“Look, these are the letters they conspired to send.”

Our Ji family, starting with the previous generation, has always cooperated with national policies in various ways. He even used his status as an excuse, all for the sake of our family fortune.

Ji Shuyin took the letter and looked at it for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out.

“I’ve seen this letter before; it’s quite ordinary!”

“Look here, the beginning and end of each paragraph are combined.”

The brother and sister exchanged a glance and then began to read.

"Dispose of the Ji family, and divide their wealth equally..."

"How shameless! Wang Chuanfu is actually that kind of person."

Those things were earned by my Ji family ancestors. What do they have to do with those who work and serve them?

Ji Shuyan was furious, and Cheng Shuangshuang quickly came over to pat his back.

"A man's greed is like a snake trying to swallow an elephant; Shuyan, don't make yourself angry."

"Yes, brother, the most important thing now is to find a way to break this deadlock."

Our family's situation is very bad right now.

The suffering you endured here before might have been his doing.

Now that we know their wolfish ambitions, we cannot sit idly by and wait for our doom.

"When I get back, I'll find a way to go see him."

Ji Shuyin's words made her brother start to worry again.

"Little sister, don't! That guy is no good. If you go alone, you might get hurt!"

Listen to me, you absolutely cannot go there.

"Yes, little sister, you should go back to Northeast China and not go looking for him."

It's impossible not to look for her; she doesn't want to experience the ending of her dream again.

"Sister-in-law, I am a member of the Ji family. Saving the family is my responsibility and my duty."

Wang Chuanfu must be brought down; we should all go home now.

"But……"

"No buts, I've already made up my mind."

Believe me, I've grown up now and can help with the family chores.

Moreover, she is currently the only one who is relatively free.

It's only relative, and you can't just run around randomly.

Ji Chiyan felt gratified looking at the two children, who were like brothers, and he was very pleased with their harmonious relationship.

"You don't need to argue, I have a way!"
