Rebirth in the 60s: A Path to Counterattack

Shuzhen held the flashlight, watching her two brothers work together to push the heavy red lacquered catalpa wood coffin lid aside, revealing its full contents. Inside the enormous coffin, measuring four by six feet, seven feet three inches long, and sixty centimeters high, lay a third full of gold bars, while another two-thirds consisted of neatly stacked silver dollars and a small forty-centimeter square rosewood box.

Opening it revealed eight finely divided layers of small drawers, all filled with various types of jewelry. The least valuable items were pure gold bracelets, necklaces, and peace locks, with minimal quantities. The rest were mostly various kinds of jade, sheep fat jade, fire oil diamonds, and sapphires.

Shuzhen couldn’t estimate the specific value, but she clearly knew it was definitely worth more than the gold bars and silver dollars in the majority of the coffin combined. Her eldest brother told her that every item inside was carefully prepared by their parents as a dowry for their precious daughter.

Previously, others said their parents were unusual, favoring daughters over sons, which Shuzhen didn’t pay much mind to. She thought although her parents spoiled and loved her, they certainly relied on and counted on her two brothers. She thought she was merely slightly better off compared to other families, where daughters were seen as financial burdens, destined to be traded for dowries for their brothers.

Now seeing this hefty box of dowries, Shuzhen finally understood how much her parents truly loved their beloved daughter and how much her two brothers spoiled their only sister.

Also, she completely understood why those damned people were risking their lives to fight against Second Brother’s family, unwilling to rest until they destroyed him.

Because wealth moves the heart.

And to completely dominate the enormous wealth, they couldn’t allow the Liu family any chance of revival. Fortunately, with her rebirth, she knew the opportunity in advance. Otherwise, if even a hint of these gold and gemstones leaked out, it would likely become the source of unfounded accusations against the Liu family, leading to their downfall and ruin.

Previously, Shuzhen thought that after transferring the items, everything would be safely resolved. But after deducing the insane sins those people had committed, she felt that not digging a pit to make them reap what they sow would waste the heavens’ goodwill in allowing her rebirth.

She used the flashlight to illuminate for her brothers, letting them pack the contents of the coffin into the burlap sacks they brought. Both brothers got to work dividing three hundred gold bricks, each ten centimeters long, five centimeters wide, and a little more than one centimeter thick, each weighing two pounds, into four burlap sacks, while the silver dollars filled two sacks. It’s not that they didn’t want to load more and make fewer trips.

It’s just that gold, though small in volume, is not light in weight. Even with only seventy-five pieces per bag, it was still a full 150 pounds, wasn’t it?

If it weren’t for their years of hard work with the production team from spring to autumn, they wouldn’t have the stamina to carry this load. Fortunately, the other coffin contained only famous calligraphy and paintings, ancient booklets, and the like. There were a few porcelain and bronze antiquities too, but they were small and exquisite. Although their value was no less than gold, and possibly even greater, at least these items weren’t as heavy, right?
