Chapter 504: The Lady of the Republic of China Kills the Male and Female Protagonists (6)
The Jin family has been rich for generations. Due to the turbulent times, most of the family property has been plundered in the turmoil, but a small part has been left.
For example, this string of Tai O white pearl necklace in front of her is a treasure that her grandfather brought back from the ship to the United States during the first feudal dynasty reform and innovation movement.
Before her mother died, she gave all the family heirlooms to Jin Shu.
Some of them were hidden in the old house by Jin Shu, and some that could comfort her family were taken with her to her husband's house.
Originally, she was going to pass it on to her future children, but she didn't expect that this string of pearls disappeared soon after she arrived at the Zhang family.
At that time, Jin Shu was very distressed and mobilized a large number of people to search around, but she couldn't find the whereabouts of the necklace.
She searched the whole house, but she never had the chance to enter the room of her sister-in-law Zhang Jiqing.
Just because Zhang Jiqing reacted violently, he angrily accused Jin Shu of trying to put the blame on her head, and bit back that Jin Shu was deliberately looking for trouble and deliberately picking faults.
With Zhang Jiqing making such a fuss and Zhang's mother intervening, Jin Shu had no chance to investigate the matter further.
But Jin Shu knew from the beginning to the end that the pearls must have been stolen by Zhang Jiqing.
She used to be thin-skinned and valued family affection. She thought that since they were all family members, it would hurt feelings if she held on to it, so the matter was left unresolved.
Now Jin Shu finally had the opportunity to enter Zhang Jiqing's house. Sure enough, as she expected, the pearls were still in Zhang Jiqing's hands.
Jin Shu knew that she didn't dare to wear it casually, let alone sell it.
The actual price of this string of pearls is now inestimable. Zhang Jiqing must have tried to sell the necklace, but she was afraid when she asked the price.
She didn't dare to take it home after selling it for so much money, and the buyer would definitely ask carefully about the origin of the pearls. Zhang Jiqing knew that she would be exposed. After all, the ancestors of the Zhang family didn't have the ability to buy this string of pearls abroad, so she could only hide the necklace in the cabinet for so long.
After finding what she wanted, Jin Shu put away the necklace and pushed the atmosphere candles on the dining table before leaving.
Back in her room, Jin Shu silently stroked the pearls in her hand, and then looked at the moon outside the window with a calm expression.
Her mind is empty now. After all, in the first half of her life, she only had the four words "demon-like and virtuous" in her mind. Now she has to think about what to do in the future, and she is still a little confused.
Let's go back to Su City after the divorce.
Jin Shu thought carefully about what she regretted. The biggest regret was probably that she had never been to school, never read books, and never went abroad in this life. Except for Su City and BH City, she seemed to have never traveled far in her life.
Jin Shu listed all her regrets on a piece of paper, followed by what she was going to do next.
First, divorce first.
Second, find a school to study.
Third, travel around the country to see the world.
Fourth, go abroad to see a bigger world.
Fifth, raise a child.
Jin Shu found that her previous inheritance thought was particularly serious, that is, there are three unfilial acts, and having no descendants is the greatest.
She is the only child of the Jin family. Before her grandfather passed away, he told her that she must continue the bloodline of the Jin family.
So not having children is one of her regrets.
Although she is not interested in children now, the mission is to complete her regrets.
As long as it is a regret, she has the obligation to do it.
The first four items are easy to handle, mainly the fifth item.
But Jin Shu soon figured it out. Let's talk about children later. Let's finish other things first.
The extra 24 hours seem to be particularly long, but since Jin Shu has found the goal, she will start from the first step.
Jin Shu has seen Zhang Jiqing's admission process.
If you want to go to college, you must be excellent in Chinese and English in the entrance examination. In addition, if you have excellent grades in mathematics and physics, the requirements for Chinese and English can be slightly lowered.
Except for Chinese, Jin Shu is not familiar with other subjects.
Jin Shu is not discouraged by this completely unfamiliar subject.
It just so happens that the house she lives in now is where Zhang Jisheng once lived, and the books he left when he was studying are also in this house.
In the past, Jin Shu would occasionally take out some Chinese books to read to relieve her boredom. Today, she took out the English books at the bottom of the box.
She didn't recognize any of the densely packed letters on it.
After flipping through it several times, she really had no clue, so Jin Shu simply put the book aside and turned to read some books that she could understand.
For example, the mechanical principle in front of her.
Zhang Jisheng was a student majoring in mechanical engineering at Beihai University. He signed up for the army before finishing college. Because he was a college student, he was appreciated by Marshal Liu. Now that the war was temporarily suspended, Marshal Liu arranged for Zhang Jisheng to continue studying at the Beihai Military Academy.
Jin Shu thought that the contents of these books would be too obscure for her, but she didn't expect that the contents of the books were actually very simple.
The book "Mechanical Engineering from Beginner to Master" was a thick stack of more than 800 pages. Jin Shu sat down and started flipping through it. It was a bit difficult at first, but after she understood a little bit, she flipped through it faster and faster.
The night passed quickly.
Jin Shu slept for a while in the second half of the night. Although she had been reading for a long time, she had plenty of time, so she was still energetic even when she got up early the next day.
Last night was very lively. Jin Shu heard screams from the building in front of her while half asleep.
"It's on fire!! It's on fire!! Help!! Mom, hurry up and find someone to put out the fire!"
Zhang Jiqing shouted all night. When Jin Shu woke up, she pushed open the window of the yard and saw black smoke coming out of the second floor opposite.
The elegant little building, which originally had a balcony with a few pots of green plants, was now burned to an empty frame. It was originally an old house, and the internal structure was basically made of wood. Once the fire started, the sparks would devour it crazily, and it would be difficult to stop it even if it was discovered in time.
Seeing the dilapidated scene in front of her, Jin Shu stretched her body in a good mood.
The fire in Zhang's house alarmed the neighbors on both sides, and the police came. In the end, it was determined that Zhang Jiqing was negligent in starting the fire. Not only did he have to compensate for the losses of his neighbors, but he also had to compensate for the burned sycamore trees on this street.
These are all municipal trees, so they must be compensated.
Zhang's mother sat in front of the building, in a state of anxiety, irritability, fear and confusion.
Looking at her black clothes, you can tell that she must have rushed in to look for something after the fire was put out.
When Jin Shu saw her like this, she knew that she didn't find what she was looking for.
