"Are you asking for a beating?" Chi Dashan thought it was best to discipline his younger brother sooner rather than later.

"No, no, brother, what I meant was that I saw something in the well, and it looked like a cloth bag hanging on the wall."

Upon seeing his elder brother's eager expression, Chi Wuhu immediately recounted what he had just seen in the well.

At the same time, she whispered, "My sister wants me to see what's in the well."

Chi Dashan's gaze unconsciously fell on Chi Tang, who was lying quietly and gracefully on the ground.

What are you doing?

Aunt Chi, who was inside the house, was getting a little anxious.

Chi Dashan said, "You take Tangtang inside first, I'll take the rabbit... hey, where's my rabbit?"

Chi Dashan busied himself catching rabbits all over the yard.

They tied him up after catching him before they went inside.

"Mom, I went up the mountain today and I was so lucky! I caught a wild rabbit! It'll be perfect for the kids to have a treat."

Such good luck is unprecedented.

Looking at the delicate-looking Chi Tang yawning, Chi Dashan said with absolute certainty, "It must be my sister who brought us good luck."

Chi Tang: ? ? ?

Wow, this question is way beyond the scope of the curriculum.

There are no rabbits in her little courtyard, so what does it have to do with her if she catches one on the mountain?

"Sweet Tangtang, let your big brother touch your hand." Chi Dashan stroked his little sister's soft little hand, and his whole demeanor softened.

Chi Tang laughed.

This family is so loving!!!

"It really is Tangtang who brought us good luck. Tangtang, how about we ask our older brother to catch some more game tomorrow?" Aunt Chi discussed with Chi Tang.

Chi Tang nodded without hesitation, but after nodding a few times, she drifted off to sleep again.

Aunt Chi covered her daughter with a small blanket and then said, "Dashan, go up the mountain again tomorrow to take a look."

"good."

"As for what Xiao Wu said about something in the well... well, when your dad and Lao San come back, the three of you can discuss taking it out and seeing what it is."

Judging from my daughter's amazing abilities, the things in that well must be something good.

"Go and kill and clean the rabbit quickly, so your wife can cook it for us today."

"You ate it in one meal?"

Chi Dashan wondered if this was a bit extravagant.

Aunt Chi said meaningfully, "Eat it. Keeping it might not be a good thing."

No one knows what Chi Dashan thought of, but he actually took the rabbit out to clean it up.

"Open it and take a look!" Chi Sanhe shouted.

Hidden in the well wall, it must be something good!

Chi Dashan looked around and said, "Let's go inside and take a look."

To avoid being seen by others.

Upon arriving at the east wing, Chi Dashan opened his bundle, which was wrapped in layers upon layers, with no one knowing how many layers it was!

Finally, when opened, it contained an oil paper package.

"This oil paper is oil-proof, waterproof, and moisture-proof, right? The things inside must be valuable."

"Open it quickly."

Urged on by everyone, Chi Dashan nervously unwrapped the last layer of oil paper, revealing a pile of silver ingots inside!

"Holy crap!" Chi Sanhe's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

The sounds of people inhaling repeatedly rose and fell.

Suppressing his excitement, Chi Wuhu said in a trembling voice, "Father, Mother, my little sister is our family's lucky star!!!"

He wouldn't have gone to look if his sister hadn't insisted on pointing to the well!

Chi Dashan was slightly more composed, but the flush on his face still revealed his mood.

Upon hearing this, Chi Dashan patted his younger brother's head with his large, kind hand and praised him earnestly: "Xiao Wu is also a lucky star in our family. If Xiao Wu hadn't actually gone to look in the well, we wouldn't have found out."

Unexpectedly praised, Chi Wuhu proudly puffed out his little chest, his long, peach-blossom eyes sparkling like stars: "It's all my sister's good fortune."

Fifth Brother won't fight with his sister.

While the brothers were showing their deep affection, Chi Sanhe had already picked up a silver ingot and bit it with his teeth.

"Wow, it's true! Father, Mother, and Brother, it's true!" Chi Sanhe shouted excitedly.

Equally excited, Old Man Chi kicked him: "Keep your voice down, or I'll make you pay!"

Aunt Chi hurriedly said, "Go and get the scale quickly, let's see how much it is."

"good."

The silver was weighed out in no time.

One ingot of silver is five taels, and a total of ten ingots of silver is fifty taels of silver!

The family's breathing became heavy with excitement.

In those days, the most expensive fatty meat cost thirteen coins per pound, ordinary rice cost twelve coins per pound, and the best japonica rice cost eighteen coins per pound.

In the Chi family's mind, the most expensive thing is land.

The best irrigated land costs twenty taels of silver per mu, while ordinary land costs about fifteen taels of silver per mu.

In other words, with these fifty taels of silver, they could buy three mu of ordinary land and still have five taels of silver left.

only……

“We can’t take this money out openly, otherwise we won’t be able to appease that old woman,” Aunt Chi said heavily.

The old woman was naturally referring to her mother-in-law, Zhou.

Old Man Chi's lips twitched, but he didn't say anything.

Deep down, he must have had some reservations. He just didn't want to admit that he was actually wary of his own mother.

Chi Dashan said with some disappointment, "I was thinking of buying some land. After paying taxes, the land we have is barely enough for a year's food and drink, but the children are getting older..."

"Why don't we buy land in another county?" Aunt Chi suggested.

Buying land in the village or county town is unrealistic because they can't explain where the money came from.
