Reborn in the 60s, I hunt to support my family and even seduce the village beauty.

"Xiao Kun, the house has been arranged for you. You can choose a day that seems auspicious, and we can sign the papers."

Director Wang didn't rush to talk about Yan Fengjia's affairs; instead, he first told Chang Kun the good news.

"Aunt Wang is the best; she gets things done so quickly!"

Chang Kun gave a thumbs up.

Director Wang was embarrassed. Was this a compliment or an insult? The houses had already been arranged, but then Yan Feng caused this trouble, which is why it's been delayed until now.

"This is what you deserve. We're family, so there's no need for formalities."

Chang Kun nodded. "We're family then. Sister Wang is here; we're all family after all..."

"Um, shall we go take a look at the house first?" Director Wang asked.

"Aunt Wang, there's no rush to look at an empty house. We need to gradually furnish it and move in after a while."

"Xiao Kun, it's like this... I'll arrange for someone to renovate the house and prepare all the furniture. You can just wait to move in."

Chang Kun exclaimed in surprise, "Huh?!"

Not only did they arrange the house, but they also covered all the furniture and decoration costs?

What a great thing!

Even brothers wouldn't be this generous, let alone a relative like Director Wang whom you wouldn't recognize if you met him on the street.

"Aunt Wang, is there something you need?"

Director Wang smiled and turned to Wang Cuiqin, saying, "See, Xiao Kun is so smart; I don't even have to say a word."

Wang Cuiqin simply smiled and remained silent.

Chang Kun is usually very generous to her and the people at the supply and marketing cooperative, and she doesn't want to upset him because of her aunt's younger brother.

Director Wang didn't mind that Wang Cuiqin didn't say anything. He only called his niece over to smooth things over and prevent things from getting too tense.

"Xiao Kun, it's like this, there's a Yan Feng, you know him, right?"

Chang Kun smiled slightly. Sure enough, Yan Feng was behind the house scam in the first place. Now that he needed something from him, he returned the house so quickly.

Moreover, the cost of the house's renovation and furniture was also included, which is no small price to pay.

As the saying goes, if you see through something but don't say it, you can still be relatives.

Chang Kun's mental age isn't that of a rebellious young man; he wouldn't immediately confront relatives with his ID if he's unhappy.

Even disregarding Director Wang's influence, Wang Cuiqin, as the elder sister's sister-in-law, still had to give her face.

Seeing Chang Kun's silent smile, Director Wang knew that Chang Kun was aware of the situation and valued him even more.

Most young people, if they knew that Yan Feng had taken their house, would be furious and would have slammed their fists on the table and cursed.

"Xiao Kun, I won't lie to you, Yan Fengjia is in trouble and wants your help. The house renovation and furniture will be paid for by his family."

Since Chang Kun could guess it, Director Wang just said it directly.

When talking to intelligent people, don't try to hide anything; that's an insult to both of our intelligence...

As soon as he finished speaking, Director Wang, fearing that Chang Kun would refuse outright and leave no room for negotiation, quickly continued.

"Yan Feng's father is my brother-in-law. I can't just stand by and watch when something happens. Xiao Kun, what do you think..."

Before Chang Kun arrived, he had already anticipated something, but he was still unclear about the specifics.

He glanced at Director Wang, then at Wang Cuiqin beside him.

Alright, let's give the monks a break even if we don't care about the Buddha.

Moreover, the other party is responsible for the renovation of four rooms in the courtyard, which will save me a lot of trouble.

"Aunt Wang, tell me what's wrong. Please help me if you can."

The subtext is that I can't help, and you shouldn't try to force me.

Having served as director for many years, Director Wang naturally understood these words. As long as Chang Kun could help, she would be satisfied. As for her brother-in-law, that was up to fate.

"Here's the thing, Yan Feng's father is the director of the grain station. A few days ago, a batch of grain coupons went missing from the grain station, and he suspects there's a mole inside. That's why he heard about your reputation as a detective and wanted to ask you to help investigate."

That's it??

Chang Kun was a little surprised. Why would a simple theft case require him to return his house and even take away the renovation and furniture?

"Aunt Wang, how many grain coupons were lost?" He realized the key point.

Seeing that the office door was tightly closed, Director Wang held up five fingers and waved them in front of Chang Kun and Wang Cuiqin.

"Five hundred? No... five thousand catties?"

Wang Cuiqin only knew the general outline; she had no idea exactly how much she had lost.

"What?! Five thousand?! It's fifty thousand catties! And it's national grain coupons!"

Director Wang lowered his voice and flicked his finger sharply in the air.

Chang Kun and Wang Cuiqin were both startled and looked at each other in surprise.

Fifty thousand catties of grain coupons, whether they flowed into the black market or to other provinces, could cause price fluctuations in a region!

Director Wang added another sentence.

"Yan Feng's father is currently locked up at home. He had no other choice but to ask you, the detective, for help."

Chang Kun nodded. This was a matter of life and death for Yan Feng's family. Let alone the renovation of a courtyard house, if the grain coupons could be found, he would be more than willing to arrange another courtyard house.

"Okay, Aunt Wang, I'll go and check on the situation privately first."

"Don't worry, the grain station is under martial law by the higher-ups right now, and ordinary people can't get in. I'll take you there in a bit."

Seeing that Chang Kun agreed, Director Wang was delighted. This was at least one way out, and she could at least give Yan Fengjia an explanation.

"That's fine, I'll go to the office to ask for leave first."

Director Wang glanced at his watch. "Okay, the grain station will open in half an hour. We'll meet there then."

"Aunt Wang, see you later. Sister Wang, I'm leaving now."

Director Wang and Wang Cuiqin got up and saw Chang Kun to the door.

"Auntie, is Xiao Kun some kind of detective?"

Wang Cuiqin was confused by what the two were saying. Wasn't Xiao Kun supposed to work at the research institute? How did he become a detective? Liu Meifen hadn't told her about this when she was at work.

"That's how it is..."

Wang Cuiqin was stunned when she heard about Chang Kun capturing enemy agents and Chang Dashan receiving a medal.

I spent every day at the supply and marketing cooperative chatting about gossip, but I never heard her mention these things.

What a huge loss! The biggest gossip is all about Chang Kun's family!

Thinking about how she hadn't introduced Chang Kun to her niece sooner, Wang Cuiqin felt even more guilty!

……

At the Zoological Research Institute, Chang Kun met Cheng Rongjiang.

"Xiao Kun, the yellow catfish you brought yesterday was really fresh! It made me drink two extra ounces of liquor."

"Uncle Cheng, did Brother Cheng drink? I remember he had a pretty good alcohol tolerance..."

"Haha, you have a good memory. You remember he got drunk the first time he came to your house."

After exchanging a few jokes, Chang Kun spoke up.

"Uncle Cheng, I have something to do today and need to ask for leave."

"Go ahead, anyway, your job is just work when there's work, and idle when there's no work."

After a pause, Cheng Rongjiang spoke again: "Hey, Xiao Kun, if you're free these next few days, come with me to the south of the city. There's a village there that's supposedly experiencing a fox plague. Let's go take a look."

Fox plague? Chang Kun was a little puzzled.

Little fox, you dare to cause trouble?

You know, back then, many families owned guns. If they encountered a fox, they could just shoot it, eat the meat, and sell the pelt—that was pretty good.

How could it have become a disaster?

With some doubt in his mind, Chang Kun nodded, but since he had promised Director Wang to go to the grain station, he had to go and check it out first.
