Chapter 242 Digging a Rat Hole 4

Everyone exchanged glances instinctively, and saw ecstatic smiles on each other's faces. Today, the Chen family was going to make a fortune!

They had originally planned to go home, but immediately changed their minds and followed the monkey with light steps.

This time we went to a place that was even further away; we were almost at the next production team.

The monkey ran forward again, clearing away the tangled weeds to reveal an even larger rat hole.

The Chen family rubbed their hands excitedly and went forward to dig again, at an incredibly fast pace.

Before long, after the outer layer of soil was dug away, a large amount of grain hidden inside rolled out.

Zhou Zhaodi quickly picked up everything, and the sacks were filled to the brim again. In no time, they had dug up the rat hole.

Zhou Zhaodi was incredibly excited. "Grandpa Monkey, is there any more?"

The monkey nodded again.

Now, the whole family felt a dizzying sense of happiness, as if they had been hit by a pie falling from the sky.

The surprise came so suddenly that they still feel a sense of unreality.

Ma Xiulian put away her hoe and said, "Let's go home."

She looked up at the sky and said, "The next mouse hole is probably even further away, and the sacks are all full. I won't dig any more today. I'll just take the stuff home first."

"Mom, let's dig a little longer. It's not easy to come across such a good opportunity."

Zhou Zhaodi looked at the grain, her eyes shining as if they were glowing.

She has food and other necessities right in front of her, but she won't do it if she doesn't dig them up and go home.

Besides, it's true that the bold get rich while the timid starve. If they hurry up and get it home in no time, they can just make a few more trips.

Chen Jianguo also said in a low voice, "Mom, let's dig another one. We'll go back and put the grain at home first, then we'll come back."

Chen Jiandang and Chen Jianye nodded in agreement; after all, seeing so much grain, they couldn't bear to give it up.

Besides, it's free!

"There's too much stuff here. If we go back home again, it will take up a lot of time. It's almost time for the roosters to crow, and people in the village should be getting up soon."

Ma Xiulian put away her hoe, looked at the full baskets and carrying poles behind her, and her usually stern face showed a rare smile.

"Besides, they've already packed so much food, so no matter how you look at it, they're not losing out. Sometimes you can't be too greedy."

Hearing this, Zhou Zhaodi had no choice but to agree, no matter how reluctant she was: "Mom is right, let's hurry back!"

Then the family took hoes, leveled the hole they had just dug, and tamped the soil down before heading home.

Even with so much extra food on their backs, their steps were even lighter than when they arrived.

They didn't stop laughing until they got home and closed the door.

The grains dug up tonight are piled on the floor, with sweet potatoes and corn piled up like small mountains.

Such a great thing happened to the Chen family, and they were all so happy they were almost dizzy.

“Let’s go again tomorrow night and quickly dig up all that grain. There might be more grain in the other caves than in the house.”

Zhou Zhaodi could no longer contain her laughter; she wished she could rush back right now and bring all that grain back with her.

“That’s right, we’ll go as soon as it gets dark tomorrow,” Chen Jiandang chimed in, also feeling a bit anxious.
