The roof beams, they were filled with money.
Apparently, the landlord had left quite a lot behind, much of it silver.
If there had only been silver, they could have dealt with it easily. But then, Suizi found a little booklet.
When she opened it, she found it was filled with words from Yueben Country. After only reading a few pages, Suizi became angry.
It was a list.
It recorded the names of local able-bodied adults forced into labor by Yueben Country during the war, and who had died as a result.
The owner of this house, it seemed, had been in cahoots with Yueben, profiting from the suffering of his fellow countrymen.
This was strong evidence of history, and Suizi felt her blood curdle as she saw it.
Suddenly, she had a different thought.
Perhaps the descendants of the landlord did not come just for the money.
Maybe they were looking for this booklet.
This booklet, that recorded the tragic history that had befallen their compatriots in the northern lands.
