Chapter 8 Hiding
Not long after, the two of them found all the silver that Xia Yutong had hidden, a total of fifty taels.
She didn't hide anything and took it all out.
However, the hidden box was not found, and Xia Yutong was unwilling to give up, so she pulled Xiaoxuan to sit on the pile of rotten stones.
Now, the pile of stones finally fell over, and the box inside was revealed.
"Sister, there is another box here." Xiaoxuan screamed immediately.
Perhaps the silver had brought him too many surprises, so he had great expectations for this box, hoping that it would contain silver bills.
If Xia Yutong knew what he was thinking, she wondered if she would bury her brother on the spot.
"Hurry, let me see it." Xia Yutong pretended to be surprised again.
However, Xiaoxuan didn't wait for her and opened the box directly.
When he saw what was inside, he looked disappointed and said, "Sister, there are books inside." He had never been to school and could not read, so the book was of no use to him.
If I sell it, I might get some money.
Looking at his disappointed expression, Xia Yutong was speechless, but when she heard Xiaoxuan mumbling, Xia Yutong calmed down.
"We can't read, so there's no use in holding this book. Big sister, why don't you just leave it here and we can just take the silver." Xiaoxuan looked disgusted.
Xia Yutong really wanted to beat her brother to death.
But when she thought of what she had drawn when she was bored in the past, her eyes lit up.
"I like this thing, I want it." Without saying anything, he closed the box.
Xiaoxuan hasn't opened it to see whether there are words or paintings inside, so she can just change it.
Fortunately, she had drawn the training route, otherwise, this opportunity would have been ruined.
"It's up to you." Xiaoxuan had no objection. It was ownerless anyway.
"Okay, let's go home first. We have to take these things home and give them to Dad for safekeeping." Xia Yutong just wanted to go back now. If she stayed any longer, she was afraid that she would not be able to resist taking things out again.
"Give it to Dad?" Xiaoxuan looked reluctant when he heard that his elder sister wanted to give all the silver to Dad.
"What if grandma and the others come to steal it again?" Dad will definitely give it to grandma then.
Maybe it was because Xia Feng often did this in the past, which made Xiaoxuan very distrustful of his father.
He thought it was better to keep things like silver and money himself, at least his grandmother and the others wouldn't come to rob him.
Xia Yutong thought about it and finally agreed. If a mother wants something from her son and the son doesn't give it to her, it would be unfilial. Filial piety was very important in ancient times.
After looking at the original owner's previous memories again, Xia Yutong felt that it would be better for their family not to let her father be the head of the family.
"Okay, from now on, all the money in the house will be given to you." She was not interested in money, she just wanted to change the environment at home.
Just let her develop.
As long as I have food to eat every day and don’t feel hungry anymore, that’s enough.
"Well, sister, this is what you said. If dad wants to take it away, you have to help me." Xiaoxuan was so happy when he heard that his elder sister agreed to let him manage the money.
"Okay." Xia Yutong nodded in agreement without thinking.
"Let's go, let's take the ginseng back first." If possible, she wanted to move out today.
The brother and sister came down the mountain within two hours of climbing up.
As soon as I returned to the shabby house, I heard my little sister crying.
I guess I'm hungry again.
There was also the voice of Xia's father coaxing gently and Xia's mother's dazed "oh oh" sound.
After they entered the house, the two of them finally cleaned up Rongrong in a hurry. It turned out that Rongrong had pooped.
"Let me do it, Dad." This was something the original master had done before, so Xia Yutong didn't act pretentiously.
But this set of clothes is wet and my sister has to be naked again.
As soon as Xia Yutong left, Xiaoxuan immediately started showing off his treasures.
He also brought his eldest sister's backpack, and the ginseng was lying quietly inside.
"Dad, look, isn't this ginseng?" Xiaoxuan believed in the village chief, but compared to the village chief, he trusted his father more.
Xia Feng was not an ignorant person. He recognized the things in the backpack immediately.
"Yes, this is ginseng. Xiaoxuan, where did you dig it? Did you disobey and go to Houwan Mountain?" Compared to his son's happiness, Xia Feng was more afraid.
"What did I tell you? Don't go, don't go. I told you so many times, why are you so disobedient?" Xia Feng was so angry that his eyes turned red and he actually choked up.
If his son wasn't too young, he would have taken action.
"Dad, we didn't go. We were in the mountains behind our house." Xiaoxuan felt aggrieved immediately when he saw his father's look.
But Xia Feng would never believe him, "You have even learned to lie." After saying that, he glared at Xiaoxuan fiercely.
Xia Yutong heard their conversation and had originally wanted to wait until Xiaoxuan took out all his things before going in.
Unexpectedly.
"Dad, what are you doing?" When Xia Yutong saw Xia Feng trying to hit Xiaoxuan, she ran over quickly and pulled Xiaoxuan behind her.
"Dad, let's talk it out. Xiaoxuan didn't do anything bad. Why are you hitting him?" Xia Yutong really disagreed with parents beating their children.
The stunned mother Xia seemed to have realized something and hugged Xia Feng: "Don't hit me, don't hit me, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts."
Seeing his wife and son like this, Xia Feng put down his raised hand and said, "No, no, you are so good. I won't hit Xiaoxuan, no." He immediately coaxed his wife.
Looking at Xia Feng's behavior, Xia Yutong felt more in favor of him.
"Dad, Xiaoxuan didn't lie. We didn't go to Houwan Mountain. It's just behind our house. We just went to the low-lying area at the corner of the next mountain. There are a lot of wild vegetables there. I used to go there often to dig wild vegetables."
She heard everything they said and slowly explained it to him.
"Did you really not go?" Xia Feng half-supported his wife and asked his children.
The two nodded together and said affirmatively: "No."
"It's better not to go, it's better not to go." It's too scary there.
If anything happens to them, the family will be broken.
"Dad, we really didn't go. We listened to you and went to the back mountain to collect firewood. I found this ginseng when I was looking for branches. I heard the village chief say that ginseng fruit is red."
Xia Yutong no longer had any hope in Xiaoxuan. This guy couldn't even speak clearly, so she had to do it herself.
So she told her father their itinerary for the day bit by bit.
Finally take out the box.
"This is it, we haven't opened it yet." The exchange is done entirely with the mind, without opening the box.
Xia Feng took the box and took a look at it. The box was quite new and the things inside were not heavy.
It shouldn't be silver, because silver is heavier than this.
While his father was looking at the box, Xiaoxuan picked up the silver on the ground and put it in his chest.
Xia Yutong was speechless. Fifty taels, not just five taels. Such a big bag, doesn’t it tell others that there is something there?
