Shen Banxia picked up the little field mouse and said, "You really are fast, huh?" Something fell out of her mouth—a peace buckle.

The couple were so dazzled by the glittering gold bars that they didn't notice the little field mouse's movements at all.

"Ahhhhh, that's mine, I found it."

Shen Banxia placed it in Zhou Mingqian's hand, "Little field mouse, can you be reasonable? It was clearly left to Zhou Mingqian by Grandpa Zhou."

"Then it's of no use to him."

"What use is that to you? Do you think it looks good to hang around your neck?"

The little field mouse gave Chen Banxia a disdainful look with its tiny eyes. "Superficial. Do you think I'm that kind of mouse? Only you females like to dress up. Let me tell you, this jade pendant contains great merit."

Shen Banxia relayed the little field mouse's words to Zhou Mingqian, "You must take good care of it. You're often out and about, and regardless of whether what it said is true or not, it will still be beneficial to you."

Zhou Mingqian placed the safety amulet in Shen Banxia's hand, saying, "Wife, here you go. If it really has the power to protect you, I only hope that you and the child can be safe and sound."

Watching the couple being all lovey-dovey, the little field mouse rolled its eyes.

"Hey, hey, hey, I haven't finished speaking yet. I have a treasure chest full of good things. But now that I've run out of spiritual energy, I can't open it anymore. This peace amulet containing the power of merit can just open my treasure chest."

Shen Banxia looked the little field mouse up and down and said, "You don't look like you have any treasure chest at all."

The little field mouse was so anxious it wanted to bite someone. "My treasure chest is a magical artifact. It's inside my body. It was sealed off because of that golden word that can't become a spirit."

Shen Banxia hadn't expected it to be like this.

"What good things are in your treasure chest?" Shen Banxia asked, quite curious.

"The food is all delicious. It contains not only the delicious food I collected myself, but also the good things my master left me."

"Owner?".

The little field mouse didn't want to talk anymore.

Sensing the little field mouse's sadness, Shen Banxia didn't ask any further questions.

But this isn't really his own. Although Zhou Mingqian is willing to give it to him, he'll still have to ask him before he can use it to open the treasure chest.

"Wife, I've given you the things. You can decide for yourself."

Shen Banxia thought about it carefully, and she could also sense the little field mouse's anxious heart.

Thinking back to that incident, if it weren't for the little field mouse, she and her child would be dead by now.

Shen Banxia also shared her thoughts with Zhou Mingqian.

"Xiaxia, you are such a good person. Don't worry, I will definitely repay you after I open my treasure chest. But you have to wait, half a month will definitely be enough, hahahahaha."

Can you imagine a tiny field mouse, no bigger than the palm of your hand, completely wrapped in white cloth, like a miniature mummy, with only its face showing, laughing wildly and lewdly?

Shen Banxia didn't care about half a month or not; she was a person who clearly distinguished between gratitude and resentment.

Now, she finally has a chance to repay the little field mouse, and she feels relieved.

The atmosphere at the Zhou family's house was not so good, especially for Zhou Mingjiao.

As winter approached, her wedding date with Zhao Zhigao drew ever closer, but neither her parents seemed to have any good ideas.

She simply couldn't wait any longer.

Thinking about what she had witnessed last time, she felt that if she didn't resolve this matter quickly, she would definitely go crazy.

"Mother, what should we do? I really don't want to marry Zhao Zhiqing. If you really want me to marry Zhao Zhiqing, then I'll die," Zhou Mingjiao cried.

"How could you be so foolish?" Zhou's mother shouted, then looked at the taciturn Zhou's father, "Old man, what are you thinking?"

“I think it’s very simple to solve this problem. Zhao Zhiqing’s desire to marry you is obviously a calculated move. In that case, just get rid of him.”

"How can we get him away, old man?" Zhou's mother felt heartbroken at Zhou Mingjiao's crying.

"Doesn't your eldest brother have a purchasing job now? Mingjiao, go talk to your eldest brother. If he's willing to give that job to Zhao Zhigao, your marriage can be easily resolved."

"No way," Zhou Laosan and Zhou Laosi said in unison.

"Father, this is a job for our Zhou family, how can we give it to outsiders?" Both of them shared this sentiment.

Zhou Laosi, in particular, felt wronged. Wasn't his own wedding the most important thing?

But seeing their little sister crying so hard, the two brothers couldn't bear it.

But compared to that, they are even less willing to give the jobs of permanent employees to outsiders.

"Old man, are you crazy? No, I don't agree to this either."

"Mingjiao, trust your father. I won't hurt you. Go find your older brother and tell him you're upset if he doesn't give you the job. See what he has to say."

Zhou Mingjiao was puzzled, but she didn't have a good solution at the moment.

Although Zhou Laosan and Zhou Laosi were dissatisfied, they didn't dare to go against their father.

night.

Zhou's mother couldn't understand it at all. "Old man, why did you let Jiaojiao ask? You knew it was impossible."

"I just want to know what choice the eldest brother will make when faced with the life of his own sister. I want to see if I really raised an ungrateful wretch."

"Old man, didn't you say you wouldn't mention those things?"

"Hmph, those two old geezers, they say they treat everyone equally, but who doesn't know that they gave that person the best things in their house? It's just a pity that that person's life wasn't good either."

Zhou's mother didn't know the specifics of what happened before, but she knew that it had always been a knot in the old man's heart.

"Then tell me, what if the boss doesn't agree?"

"If he doesn't agree, don't blame me for leaking those things."

Zhou's mother became anxious, "Old man, what if others find out and it implicates us? No, old man, you can't be so foolish!"

Everyone says they fled to Taiwan. If they get involved, their whole family will be doomed.

"Hmph, do you think I'm stupid? I'll just use this as leverage to talk to the boss. I don't believe he'll dare to go against me."

Regardless, he was determined to get the purchasing job.

In the darkness, Zhou's father's eyes were fierce and ruthless. Even Zhou's mother, who was sleeping next to him, did not know that Zhou's father had such a side.
