"Let's go ask the captain for leave now. With such a big thing happening at home, we definitely need help. We'll come back after grandpa and grandma go up the mountain."

"Okay, Cuicui, thank you."

"We are husband and wife, no need to be polite to me." Wang Cui said gently.

The two of them took the farm tools and went to see their team leader. After briefly explaining the situation, the team leader immediately gave them leave.

"Cui Cui, if you go over there, what will happen to your grandma?" asked the team leader.

"I asked Mrs. Liu next door to help take care of my grandma for two days."

"It's enough for you to know. Your grandmother is in such good health that she can't live without someone."

"I know, don't worry."

"Okay, let's go quickly."

"Thank you, uncle." Wang Cui responded and went home with Xia Zirui.

The two of them packed two sets of clothes and walked towards Qingshan Village together.

Here at high school.

When Xia Zixuan received the news, he was as shocked as Xia Zirui. He really didn't expect that his grandparents would die together.

He never expected that his grandfather would actually hang himself for his grandmother.

This was unbelievable no matter how one thought about it, and Xia Zixuan had a feeling something was wrong.

Such a big thing happened at home, and as the eldest grandson of the eldest son, he had to be present. Xia Zixuan asked for leave from his teacher and got on the ox cart back to Qingshan Village.

Xia Zixuan, Xia Zirui and Wang Cui met at the village entrance, and the three of them walked home together.

"Zirui, why are grandpa and grandma so unlucky and have to have accidents one after another?" Xia Zixuan said in a deep voice.

"Who would rob an old lady for no reason? Even if there were robbers in the middle of the night, they wouldn't kill her. We haven't had anything like that happen here in years."

"There must be something going on here."

The two brothers exchanged glances.

Wang Cui followed them silently two steps behind. They spoke in low voices, which could not be heard at this distance.

But Wang Cui had excellent hearing and she heard the conversation between the two brothers clearly.

She had long suspected the cause of death. She felt that Old Lady Xia was definitely not simply robbed and murdered, and how could Old Man Xia, such a selfish person, die for his partner?

So it is very likely that the two of them offended someone.

Under what circumstances would an elderly couple from the countryside offend someone? To the point where someone wants to kill them?

They must know some secret, or they must be hiding something.

This thing is very valuable, or it is related to some treasure.

That's why Wang Cui insisted on coming back with Xia Zirui.

Wang Cui was very clear-headed. She had never placed her hopes on Xia Zirui. She knew that she could only rely on herself.

How much money can be dug out from the Xia family depends entirely on her.

After all, Xia Zirui was nominally a son-in-law. Sons who marry into the family are just like daughters who marry out. They do not participate in the division of property, so she could only act secretly.

She had learned some tricks from her grandmother and had her own way of exploring caves and searching for treasures.

After everyone went to bed tonight, she planned to check the Xia family's old house thoroughly. As long as she could find something, it would be a profit. If she found more, that would be even better.

Whatever she found, it would be hers alone.

The two brothers were silent for a while.

Then Xia Zirui lowered his voice and said, "Brother, how much money do you think grandpa and grandma will leave?"

Xia Zixuan narrowed his eyes slightly.

"My grandparents receive remittances from other places every month. Over the years, they should have received several hundred yuan, maybe even more."

Xia Zirui's eyes lit up, "How are you going to deal with this?"

Although he and Xia Zixuan did not say it explicitly, they had already made plans that these things would belong to them, but they just couldn't say it openly.

They would sneak into Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia's room and take out all their money.

"Let's split all the money equally. After I get the money, I will first pay back what I owe you and your sister-in-law. I will use the rest for my studies. You and your sister-in-law can discuss how you plan to use the money." Xia Zixuan said.

He is now unsure how close the relationship between Xia Zirui and Wang Cui is.

After all, they are a couple. Xia Zixuan knows that after some people get married, their trust in their significant other will directly reach the peak, and they will trust them more than their relatives.

He didn't know whether Xia Zirui and Wang Cui were so close, so he said this tentatively.

Xia Zirui glanced at Xia Zixuan. Although he didn't say anything, as brothers, they had telepathy with each other, and the tacit understanding they had developed since childhood, so Xia Zixuan understood it immediately. He didn't say anything else, but just nodded almost imperceptibly.

Wang Cui naturally couldn't see the quarrel between the two of them.

When Wang Cui heard Xia Zixuan say that he would give half of the money to the couple, she looked up to him a little more.

She thought that with Xia Zixuan's selfishness and coldness, most of him would definitely leave. She was controlling him now only by relying on the so-called drugs.

If one day Xia Zixuan was able to get rid of them, she believed that Xia Zixuan would definitely bite them back and bite them to death.

The three of them quickly arrived at the Xia family's old house. As soon as they entered, Zhao Meilan rushed in front of the two men.

"Zixuan, Zirui, you're finally back. Your grandparents are gone, your father is sick, and your second uncle isn't in good health either. The family needs you two to support it."

Neither Xia Zixuan nor Xia Zirui had expected that the two adult men in the family would fall ill. This was definitely an opportunity for them.

"Let's go see Dad first, then go see Second Uncle and Mom. We are back and there are some things we will do." Xia Zixuan said hurriedly.
