Chapter 121 There is someone here

Seeing that she was so confident, Old Man Chen was startled. "Old woman, do you have the key?"

Old Mrs. Chen rolled her eyes at him in anger and said, "I don't have a shit. If I had the key, why would I ask you to come here?"

"Without the key, even if we know there are good things here, we can just stare at them helplessly!" Old man Chen was in a listless mood.

"You idiot, who told you to use the key?"

Old Man Chen also got stubborn and said impatiently with a sullen face, "Then what can I use? I can't poke it in with my fingers!"

"You stupid idiot! You seem so innocent at ordinary times, but when it comes to the critical moment, your brain is blocked by shit!" Old Mrs. Chen glared angrily. "Don't just stand there like an idiot! Go out and find an axe and break this broken lock open."

Old Man Chen's heart tightened, his face filled with panic. If he secretly took some good things from the old man's house, even if he was discovered, as long as they refused to admit it, no one could do anything to them.

But if the lock is broken and they report it to the police, it would be considered theft, and if the authorities find the stolen goods, they would go to jail.

Thinking of this, he was so anxious that his head shook, "Old woman, you can't smash it, it's against the law."

"Look at your achievements, what are you afraid of? Didn't I just tell you that taking things from your son's house isn't stealing, it's honoring your parents."

"This, this, this, is this okay?"

"Why not? Just smash it if I tell you to. You have nothing to fear with me here. Even if the authorities come, as long as we hide our things well, they won't dare to do anything to us without any witnesses or evidence."

Old Mrs. Chen looked very confident.

"Listen to me on this matter. Go find an axe quickly. Move quickly so you don't get caught!"

Old Man Chen couldn't persuade her, so he had to bite the bullet and said, "Okay, then I'll go back and find an axe and split this cabinet open."

******

At this time, Chen Ruolan didn't find anything valuable in the outer room, so she turned and went into the inner room.

After looking around, he was sure that this was the room Chen Qingqing lived in. He couldn't help but have a vicious look in his eyes.

That damn girl looked so charming in her new dress, and I don't know who she was trying to seduce.

Thinking about how she bought so much cotton cloth that day, she must have made several new clothes. Now that she had the chance, she would destroy them all no matter what.

Chen Ruolan searched for a long time but found nothing, and couldn't help but frown.

Could he still be inside? Thinking of this, he walked towards the innermost room.

As soon as the curtain was opened, Chen Ruolan was petrified on the spot, her face suddenly changed with fear.

Just as I was about to shout, I caught a glimpse of a strange man lying on the bed.

Even with his eyes closed, his extraordinary beauty could not be concealed.

His eyelashes were thick and long, his nose was straight, his lips were thin and light, his skin was fair, and his black hair was scattered casually on the pillow...

Chen Ruolan was stunned for a moment. She had never seen such a handsome man, but why was he lying there motionless?

Even though they made such a big noise outside, he didn't wake up.

Suddenly, a terrifying thought exploded in her mind: death.

As soon as this thought came to her mind, Chen Ruolan was so frightened that her whole body trembled, her legs went weak, and she almost collapsed to the ground.

She screamed, "Grandma, yes, yes, there's a dead person."

Old Mrs. Chen was staring at the wooden cabinet in a daze, her mind full of thoughts of silver, rice, cotton cloth...

As long as I have money, I will save some for the third child to use for his studies.

She definitely couldn't leave those cotton cloths at home. She had to find a place to hide them and sell them in town after the storm had passed.

Then she took the silver and bought a few feet of cloth, and made a new dress made of pure cotton.

I'll use the remaining money to buy two pounds of pork and have a good meal to satisfy my craving...

Hearing Chen Ruolan's scream, Old Lady Chen suddenly came to her senses and hurriedly lifted the curtain and went into the inner room. "My dear granddaughter, what's wrong with you?"

Old Man Chen also heard the shouting and hurried in with an axe in hand. "Ruolan, what happened?"

Chen Ruolan was so frightened that her mind went blank and she couldn't speak clearly. "Grandma, yes, there's a dead person in there."

Old Mrs. Chen was startled and quickly glanced out the window, "Ruolan, are you dazzled? There's no one there."

"There really is someone there, and it looks like he's dead." Chen Ruolan pointed behind the curtain with horror on her face, "The person is in the innermost room."

Old Mrs. Chen frowned. She saw with her own eyes that the eldest brother's family got on the ox cart, so there was no way that there was anyone at home.

"Ruolan, don't panic. There's no one here. You must be feeling guilty and seeing things wrong."

"It's true. If you don't believe me, just go in and take a look."

Old man Chen was timid to begin with. With an axe in his hand, he lifted the door curtain and looked inside, and his legs suddenly went weak.

"Yes, it's a person. It looks like a real dead person." Old Man Chen's scalp was tingling and he trembled. "Really, there is a dead person behind the curtain."

"You old man, I'm a coward, don't scare me."

"Why would I scare you? If you don't believe me, just go and see." Old man Chen stamped his feet in anxiety.

"Grandma, it's true. We made such a big noise but the man didn't move. He must be dead." Chen Ruolan said with lingering fear.

Old Mrs. Chen knew they wouldn't lie, so she took a look inside the curtain in front of her and was immediately terrified.

After hesitating for a long time, he carefully took a few steps towards the curtain, then turned back and hid behind Old Man Chen.

"Old man, you, you go ahead, let's go together."

"No, no, no, old woman, let's not watch it anymore. I was almost scared to death just now."

"Look at what you've accomplished, are you a man? Take me to see him now. If you keep nagging, I won't let you sleep on my bed tonight."

"Okay, I, I'll go, okay?" Old man Chen had no choice but to bite the bullet and come closer. "Old woman, please hold on. Don't scare yourself to death."

"Hurry up and lift it up. I want to see what on earth scared you so much." Old Mrs. Chen was getting a little impatient.

Old man Chen made up his mind and reached out to lift up the curtain.

The scene before her instantly shocked Old Lady Chen. She opened her mouth wide and it took her a while to come to her senses. "There really is a person. He looks like he's asleep, not dead."

"Yeah, it looks like he's sleeping."

"Don't talk for now. Let me take a closer look." Old Lady Chen picked up a wooden stick and tiptoed to the bedside with courage. She shouted at the man lying on the bed, "Stop pretending and get up right now. If you dare to act wild, I'll beat you to death with this stick."

After waiting for a while and seeing no movement, Old Man Chen came closer and pried the man hard, his face full of astonishment. "Old woman, this man looks like he's asleep. Why isn't he reacting at all? Could this be the legendary corpse syncope?"

"What's a corpse syncope?" Old Mrs. Chen felt a chill rushing straight to her head, and her hair stood on end...
