Reborn: Changing Fate
Digging Treasures With Brother Li

“Auntie, I will take care of you until the end of your life. Please, please don't continue this matter. I beg you,” Aunt Zhu begs. “I will rebuild your home for you and give you everything. But please, will you and Tianxin release Youran? Aunt, she's very young. His life will be ruined.”

“Go home, Aunt Zhu! We will not drop the lawsuit. As for what will happen to Ye Youran, it is her destiny and has nothing to do with us!”

Aunt Zhu was feeling desperate.

If his daughter goes to jail, her life will be ruined!

He's gonna take the college entrance exam.

He will have a bright future.

But why...why did everything go like this?

“Tianxin, it was my fault in the past, but I've learned from my mistakes. Will you show mercy and release Youran?”

Ye Tianxin shook her head once again at Aunt Zhu.

"No!" Ye Tianxin refused firmly.

"Ye Tianxin, it will be my death!"

Aunt Zhu realized that even if she had a heart attack at this moment, Ye Tianxin's heart would not soften.

He stood up and was about to threaten Ye Tianxin when Guan Chenxi quickly caught Aunt Zhu.

“Aunt Zhu, we don't want you to die. Be careful. If something happens to you, then it will benefit Uncle. Uncle might take this opportunity to remarry and have a son. Then all that you have worked so hard for all these years will be given to that son. Don't you think so?”

Aunt Zhu's face was red in anger after hearing what Ye Tianxin said. However, the most annoying of all is the fact that it is true.

Exactly right. He doesn't have to die. There is still hope to fix this mess.

If he were to die, it would only benefit other women. He has worked very hard for everything he has. Why do others benefit from their hard work?

Aunt Zhu stood up and glanced at Grandma and Ye Tianxin. In the end, he left quietly.

The news that Ye Youran had set fires quickly spread throughout the city.

Everyone sympathized with Ye Tianxin and Grandma. Their house was fine until it burned to ashes. Ye Tianxin and her grandmother were very pitiful.

How cruel was Ye Youran to do such a thing?

As for what would happen to Ye Youran in the future, Ye Tianxin did not care at all.

After that incident, Ye Tianxin found time to move things under Grandma's bed.

Ye Tianxin borrowed a hoe from a neighbor and walked into the courtyard.

When she looked at Grandma's bed, she felt disappointed once again.

Grandma's bed was a bed of eight steps. The work is very beautiful. If it wasn't for the fire eating it, it could have been on display in a museum.

Ye Tianxin was alone. How could he move that heavy bed?

Ye Youran suddenly heard someone pushing open the courtyard door. He turned around to see who it was.

"Who is this?"

"It's me!" a familiar voice answered.

Li Qingcang's tall figure was already inside the courtyard.

He wore a casual white shirt and a pair of dark-colored joggers, as well as a pair of white shoes.

He looked gallant as he stood under the pear tree in the courtyard.

There was a warm light on his handsome face. Ye Tianxin was relieved to see Li Qingcang.

“Sister Li, what are you doing here? I think it's someone else.”

Ye Tianxin threw out her hoe and dashed towards Li Qingcang excitedly.

“Do not run. Be careful!"

Ye Tianxin stood in front of Li Qingcang. She raised her beautiful little face and looked at Li Qingcang with eyes shining like stars.

Then, he grabbed Li Qingcang's wrist.

“Sister Li, you came at the right time. Should we go and dig up the treasure together?”

"What treasure?"

Ye Tianxin dragged Li Qingcang into the room.

Ye Tianxin pointed to the bed of eight steps.

“The treasure is under the bed. I tried to move it, but it was too heavy!”

"Stay beside. I'll do it."

Li Qingcang pulled the sleeves of his white shirt up to the lower sleeves.

He took the hoe from Ye Tianxin. "Stay there."

Ye Tianxin obeyed Li Qingcang and stood further away.

"Sister Li, be careful."

Li Qingcang lifted the hoe and smashed it into the frame of the burning bed. Last night's fire broke the bed.

Although the bed suffered several burns, the fire did not manage to exhaust it completely. The structure is still complete. All Li Qingcang had to do was break the bed.

As Li Qingcang smashed the bed frame with a hoe, black soot was everywhere. Li Qingcang covered his nose with his free hand.

"Oh no! Brother Li, are you okay?”

"It's okay."

Li Qingcang was very fast, and he managed to break the bed in less than three minutes.

Ye Tianxin wanted to help him, but Li Qingcang rejected him.

"I'm gonna do it. Stand over there. Here, put this on," Li Qingcang handed his handkerchief to Ye Tianxin. Ye Tianxin took it and used it to cover her nose.

Li Qingcang moved the bed pieces one by one, exposing the blue stone tiles under the bed.

“Sister Li, you rest. I'll move those tiles.”

Ye Tianxin wanted to help, but Li Qingcang did not allow it.

“Be good. Stand there and do not move," said Li Qingcang softly.

“Sister Li, I want to help you. Please let me help you. After all, we can solve this quickly if we work together.”

Li Qingcang's eyes were filled with affection for Ye Tianxin. However, he was resolute in rejecting Ye Tianxin, "It is my duty to serve people."

Ye Tianxin then moved it to a corner.

When he hires an interior decorator to design a new home, he hopes the decorator will be able to use bluestone tiles. After all, these tiles were also part of Grandma's memory of their previous home.

"Grandmother just told me that the treasure was under the bed, but she didn't tell me where exactly it was."

Li Qingcang started digging the ground with a hoe.

Slowly but surely, he managed to dig a big hole.

It was a very hot and humid day.

Grain of sweat dripped from Li Qingcang's forehead.

Clangs!

The hoe seemed to hit something hard. Li Qingcang and Ye Tianxin glanced at each other.

They said in unison, "We found him!"

They both laughed. They're very excited.

"Let me see it."

Ye Tianxin bowed and looked at the object in the hole Li Qingcang dug.

“You still can't see it. I'll dig deeper. Stay in place."

Li Qingcang dug vigorously and swung his hoe even stronger. He made a huge hole in just a few moments.

There's a porcelain barrel in a big hole. It was sealed with many layers of kraft and sealed very tightly without a single crack.

"Sister Li, what do you think is inside?" Ye Tianxin asked. He wants to know what's inside.

When Ye Tianxin saw the big barrel, her suspicions about her grandmother's death in her previous life were only reinforced.

It was because if anything happened to her grandmother, her grandmother would tell her about the existence of the barrel.

In his previous life, Ye Tianxin did not know of the existence of the barrel at all even after the death of his grandmother. Her grandmother had died without getting a chance to tell her about it.

"Tianxin, what are you thinking?"

Ye Tianxin was conscious. Figuring out how her grandmother died before is no longer important.

What matters is that Grandma is alive now. Ye Tianxin would do her best to let Grandma live a little longer. 'Yes, he'll live a little longer.'

“I also wondered, what was inside. Can be anything..”

Li Qingcang stared at the porcelain vat. He also wanted to know what was inside Grandma's porcelain barrel.

Grandma had covered the barrel with a layer of kraft when she buried these items.

There should be about 80 or 90 layers of kraft covering the barrel hole, not letting air in or out.

Li Qingcang dug through the barrel using a hoe. It took a long time for him before he managed to make a small gap.

Li Qingcang and Ye Tianxin needed a lot of effort to tear apart the kraft sealing the porcelain barrel.

There's a little leather box inside the barrel.

The leather craft was exquisite and the case looked like something that the rich young master would use while studying in the western countries.

Ye Tianxin thought that if she knew that her grandmother had so many treasures in exile, she would not have to worry about her grandmother's medical bills.

But if it wasn't for her grandmother's medical expenses, she wouldn't have known Li Qingcang.

"There may be treasure in the case."

The leather bag was heavy.

Ye Tianxin tried to take the leather box.

“I can't do it, Brother Li. You better do it. I don't have the strength to lift it."

Ye Tianxin handed the task over to Li Qingcang.

Li Qingcang asked Ye Tianxin to step aside. Ye Tianxin did as she was told and waited for Li Qingcang calmly.

"It's very heavy."

Li Qingcang felt his luggage was very heavy as well after he managed to lift it from the barrel.

"Sister Li, what do you think we should do now?"

Ye Tianxin looked at the leather box and then at Li Qingcang.

“Let's see what's in it first,” Li Qingcang's advice. “If it's something valuable, let's go to the bank and rent a safe.”

"That's a good idea," Ye Tianxin agreed.

Ye Tianxin knew that they could not just leave such important items in their home, let alone now that they were living in a rented house.

"But Big Brother Li, you may need to take a shower and change your clothes."

Li Qingcang's white shirt was now filled with dirt with all the digging he did.

Instead, Ye Tianxin's hand was only exposed to dirt when she moved the blue stone tiles. Besides, he's fine.

“No need. I'll wait for you in the car. You go and tell your grandmother about this.”

Ye Tianxin agreed with Li Qingcang's suggestion. "Alright, I'll go and tell Grandma that we've dug up the treasure so she doesn't worry."

Li Qingcang moved the leather box beside Ye Tianxin's foot. He then filled the hole with soil.

After which, he placed the bed shards back to where they came from in a mess.

“Can you tell?” Li Qingcang asked.

Ye Tianxin shook her head. Big brother Li was more thorough than him. He's not considering doing this.

After returning the hoe to the neighbor, Ye Tianxin walked behind Li Qingcang and got into the SUV parked outside the old city wall.

"Sister Li, can we see what's inside that leather box?"

Ye Tianxin reached out and opened the hidden clasp of the leather box. Ye Tianxin was blinded by the objects that shone in the case upon opening it.

There were piles of jade bracelets, jade pendants, jade hair accessories as well as some gold and silver items. Most importantly, there was a row of gold bars at the bottom of the leather box.

“Yes, Brother Li! Grandma hides a lot of things!”

Ye Tianxin was stunned. He counted the items in this case. There were 10 gold bars, six jade bracelets, two jade pendants, four jade hairpins, eight gold bracelets, and 12 silver bracelets.

After counting his things, Ye Tianxin commented, "If I knew there were so many treasures, I wouldn't worry about how to pay Grandma's medical bills." Ye Tianxin felt that the gem could be of great help to them financially.
