Chapter 429 Lu Banxia Becomes a Millionaire Heiress
It's only 6:30 in the morning, and it's Thursday. Most of the residents in the courtyard haven't gotten up yet.
As Wang Feng walked towards the central courtyard, he didn't encounter many people, except for Old Hu in the front yard. Old Hu was old and couldn't sleep, so he usually got up early.
When Lao Hu saw that Wang Feng had two pheasants and two rabbits hanging on his handlebars, he quickly came over to ask him questions.
Wang Feng repeated the same explanation he had given Yan Fugui to Lao Hu.
Back at the Intermediate People's Court, Wang Feng knocked on his front door.
"Who is it?"
Wang Feng heard Qin Jingru's voice from outside the door.
The door opened quickly, and Qin Jingru saw Wang Feng and immediately said excitedly, "Brother Wang Feng, you're finally back! I was so worried these past few days."
Wang Feng smiled slightly and pointed to the two pheasants and two rabbits on the handlebars: "Jingru, take the pheasants and rabbits down. Tonight, let Aunt Wu kill one pheasant and one rabbit, and we'll celebrate."
Upon hearing about the celebration, Qin Jingru asked with delight, "Brother Wang Feng, is everything settled?"
Wang Feng smiled and nodded: "It's done."
As he spoke, he whispered to Qin Jingru, "Jingru, Banxia should still be living here, right? Keep your voice down, don't let her hear."
Qin Jingru nodded: "Okay."
They took the pheasants and rabbits down and put them in the chicken coop to keep them temporarily. Qin Jingru then pulled Wang Feng back into the house and closed the door.
"Brother Wang Feng, are you hungry? I'll make you some noodles."
"Hehe, Jingru, no need, I just ate, you guys eat yours," Wang Feng said with a smile.
"Okay, Brother Wang Feng, please sit down for a while. I'll make you some tea right away."
Qin Jingru smiled sweetly and went to the kitchen to boil water and make tea.
Watching Qin Jingru's busy figure, Wang Feng sighed with emotion, "Home is still the best."
Just as Qin Jingru went to the kitchen, Lu Banxia came out dressed.
"Brother Feng, you're back?" Lu Banxia said with delight.
Wang Feng smiled and replied, "I'm back."
Lu Banxia came to Wang Feng, touched his chest and then his arm. Seeing that Wang Feng was unharmed, she breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
"Brother Feng, are you alright?"
"Don't worry, I'm fine," Wang Feng said with a smile.
Hearing this, Lu Banxia finally felt relieved.
"Brother Feng, I think you shouldn't go hunting in the deep mountains next time. It's not like our family is poor and can't afford to eat. Why take such a risk?"
"Brother Feng, if you don't have money, just tell me. I'm telling you, I have plenty of money now."
"Um?"
Wang Feng looked at Lu Banxia in surprise and asked, "Banxia, did something happen while I was gone for a week?"
Lu Banxia gritted her teeth and said, "Brother Feng, weren't my parents framed by that bastard Duan Tiande? My parents died because of that incident, and that beast Duan Tiande also embezzled a lot of our family's property. Later, my Uncle Li returned to Tianjin and cleared my parents' name. In the end, it was found that Duan Tiande deliberately framed my parents for our family's property, so that beast was executed."
Upon hearing the name "Duan Tiande," Wang Feng suddenly thought of Duan Zhengde, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Metallurgy. Didn't he have a cousin named Duan Tiande? Could they be the same person?
He had dug up all of Duan Zhengde's secrets and tortured him to death long ago. When he returned to Beijing from Hong Kong, he threw the corpse in his spatial dimension into the wilderness. No one knows if it has been eaten by wolves yet.
"Banxia, has your family's property already been returned to you?" Wang Feng asked.
Lu Banxia sighed and nodded: "They did retreat, but only a small portion."
"How much was refunded?" Wang Feng asked again.
Lu Banxia made a "one" gesture.
"One hundred thousand?"
Lu Banxia shook her head: "It's one million."
"It was originally more than that. My dad's gold collection alone is worth several million, and all his assets add up to at least ten million. But a lot of my family's assets, including the gold, were not registered. These can only be confiscated. Now, the only one million that can be returned is..."
Upon hearing this, Wang Feng sighed inwardly.
Having so much gold unregistered and of unknown origin constitutes speculation and profiteering, as well as the crime of disrupting financial order. Lou Bancheng was arrested because 300 jin of gold was unregistered and of unknown origin.
It's good that the gold was confiscated. If Lu Banxia's parents were still alive, they might have been arrested too. Fortunately, Lu Banxia has an uncle who is a major general. He not only protected Lu Banxia but also got some of her property back, which is already quite good.
"Brother Feng, I've deposited this money in the bank. Here's the deposit slip. Keep it. Now that our family is wealthy, you won't have to risk going into the mountains so often."
The amount is too large to be covered by a passbook; the bank issued a large-denomination certificate of deposit.
Lu Banxia handed the deposit slip to Wang Feng without hesitation, which shows how much she trusted him.
Wang Feng took the deposit slip and saw that it indeed showed a deposit of one million yuan, and it also had the bank's seal on it.
He never expected that Lu Banxia would hand over all her family's wealth to him; this was a fortune that an ordinary person couldn't earn in dozens of lifetimes.
Wang Feng sighed inwardly. Women these days are really good. They follow their husbands wherever they go. Even someone like Lu Banxia, who isn't even a proper wife, trusts him unconditionally. He was genuinely touched.
"Banxia, you should keep this deposit certificate yourself. I'm not short of money."
Lu Banxia took the deposit slip and placed it back into Wang Feng's palm, saying firmly, "Brother Feng, I don't need this much money, you should keep it."
Seeing Lu Banxia's determined gaze, Wang Feng hesitated for a moment before putting the deposit slip away.
"Banxia, I'll keep it for you for now. You can ask me for it whenever you want it. Also, I go hunting often, not because I'm broke."
"Why is that?" Lu Banxia asked in surprise.
Wang Feng explained with a serious expression, "Banxia, you should have seen it recently. The quota has been reduced by 20%, and the factory hasn't seen a single piece of meat in a month. People all over the country are tightening their belts and are all starving and emaciated. If we eat meat and fish every day, others will definitely be jealous and report us. Then we won't be able to explain ourselves at all."
"But if we hunt our own prey, even if we eat meat every day, we won't be afraid if others are jealous and report us. That's why I go hunting."
"oh."
Lu Banxia nodded her head, finally understanding.
