Wu Muxiang was stunned. He squatted down and touched it. It was not a stone, but more like an iron box.
When the iron box was dug out, it was covered with rust.
After struggling to open the box and seeing what was inside, Wu Muxiang's breathing stopped.
It's filled with gold jewelry!
There is also a layer of gold bars at the bottom.
She looked around, making sure no one was looking in her direction before quietly carrying the box back into the house.
Gold!
Who doesn’t know that gold is valuable these days?
But no one dares to stay at home!
As long as someone sees and reports you, that group of people won’t care who you are, just wait to be criticized!
A few years ago, someone in the village smashed his ceramic Buddha statue to pieces for fear that it would be reported and bring disaster to his family.
Someone hid a gold ring in a chicken coop, but it was still discovered. Finally, a group of people with red armbands rushed into the house and searched it thoroughly, and confiscated the gold ring.
Wu Muxiang just felt fortunate that no matter who buried the box, she was grateful that the box was buried deep enough.
There are floods here every year during the rainy season. Some people bury their valuables in the soil, but they are exposed when the rain comes, and people find them and report them.
This thing is dangerous, but also an opportunity to make a fortune.
Wu Muxiang decided to leave some behind and bury them—even bury them deeper, and wait until the dangerous storm passed before taking them out.
Even if she can't wait until then, it won't be too late for her to exchange it for mall points then.
She plans to exchange the rest for mall points!
She put a few gold bars on it and the valuation box gave points.
Wu Muxiang looked at her daughter, whose face had gained some weight, and a smile appeared on her face.
"Guier, how about I fry some fried oil residue for you to eat today?"
"Okay! I also want to eat egg cake!"
Since her daughter wanted to eat it and she had points in the mall, Wu Muxiang was not stingy at all and directly exchanged it for a pound.
Fang Guier was bold for once, but she didn't expect her mother to scold or beat her, but directly meet her request. Her eyes lit up.
"Mom eats too!"
"Okay, Mommy will eat too."
The mother and daughter each held a piece of egg cake and smiled at each other.
…
The old Hua family had just finished dinner when the aroma of lard dregs came from somewhere and filled the village, triggering a burst of cursing.
"Who's making lard at this time? They're just trying to make me greedy!"
Hua Erniu smelled the fragrance, glanced at his brothers and sisters who were drooling with greed, and then he had an idea.
He asked his brothers and sisters, "Do you want to eat meat?"
Hua Ergou and the other three's eyes lit up and they nodded quickly.
The gods sent more meat to the eldest brother, but they would rather salt it than eat it.
It’s not that I’m reluctant, but I’m afraid of attracting attention.
If someone finds out that the smell of meat comes from your home, it will be difficult to explain and you might even be reported.
Where did these little bastards get the meat?
Even if they are rich, they can't buy meat with money at this time. They are not as powerful as the old Hua family, so it is hard not to be suspicious.
They only had meat for one meal after grandpa passed away last time, and they could explain it as grandpa sending them meat coupons, but grandpa had been gone for so long, how could they still have so many meat coupons to eat?
The explanation doesn't make sense.
Hua Erniu grinned and waved his hand:
"Let's go to Widow Wu's house!"
As long as you don't claim it, the task reward will remain in the task space for thirty days. If you don't claim it after the expiration date, the reward will disappear.
Therefore, Hua Erniu took nothing with him. Hua Ergou and the others trusted their brother unconditionally and had no objection to his decision not to take anything with him.
Five people came to Widow Wu's house and Hua Erniu knocked on the door.
"Aunt Wu, we're here to see you!"
As soon as Wu Muxiang opened the door, she saw Hua Erniu carrying two strips of pork belly and smiling at her.
The first words she said made her face change.
"Aunt Wu, you are also the one chosen by the gods, right?"
When the word "also" came out, Wu Muxiang did not refute it immediately, but asked:
"God? Was this meat given to you by a god?"
Wu Muxiang was not at all surprised that the gods also gave gifts to other people.
As early as the double harvest in summer, there were some people who boasted that the gods had sent them gifts. Unfortunately, no one believed them and they were laughed at by everyone.
Wu Muxiang didn't say a word, but she knew what those people said was true because the gods also gave it to her.
The matter was outrageous, but the thing really appeared in front of her out of thin air, and people couldn't help but believe it.
Ever since Hua Erniu and his friends kicked their uncle out of the house, saying they wanted to support themselves, Wu Muxiang knew that these brothers and sisters might have been blessed by the gods.
Neither family exposed the other's mistake. The truth is to make a fortune in silence.
However, Hua Erniu's sudden visit caught Wu Muxiang off guard.
Hua Erniu smiled, revealing his big white teeth:
"Aunt Wu, since you smell meat, could you please lend me your stove to cook some meat? You and Gui'er can eat together!"
Wu Muxiang understood that they were greedy for meat but didn't want to expose themselves, so they came to her.
Since they knew each other's secrets and could get a free meal, she didn't hesitate anymore and let a few people into the house.
Watching Hua Erniu lighting a fire and adding firewood to cook the meat, Wu Muxiang asked tentatively:
"Erniu, Ergou is two years younger than you, and even your younger brother is almost old enough to go to school. Are you planning to send them to the commune primary school next year?"
The bigger secrets were shared, and Hua Erniu did not intend to hide this matter, and said openly:
"I plan to send them to school next year! Gui'er is six years old this year, right? It's time for her to go to school next year."
