Chapter 96: Cleaning up Zhao Kelan



The two drove back to the village quickly, went into the mountains, and as usual, gave their parents a lot of things, saying that they had driven them themselves and were taking them home for their three sons.

"Mom, I miss you both so much these past two days, you and Dad have been going up the mountain every day. Our little Zhuzi is feeling so wronged."

The two brothers, Tie Dan and Shi Tou, also wanted to hug the child. They had to take turns holding him, because having many children is a sweet trouble.

After putting their three sons to sleep, the two went to another room and took out all the money and old items from the space.

After all, the pillar is bigger now, and if he's not asleep and sees it, he might accidentally say something wrong. It's better to be careful. The reason he hasn't messed up or been discovered by those two time-traveling women all these years is because he's cautious and steady.

The two of them did the math and found that they now had 100,1000 in their hands, which was a huge sum of money. They put the 100,000 into their spatial storage and kept the 1,000 for future use.

If we count the goldfish and the bracelets I bought before I traveled through time, there must be 60 of them, plus more than 50 pieces of porcelain, and more than 80 paintings and calligraphy works.

There are quite a few good wines, more than 240 bottles, which I've accumulated over the years.

There was also a considerable amount of fine rosewood, sandalwood, and golden nanmu furniture, which were all organized and placed in one place.

There are so many good things here, like deer antlers, ginseng, lingzhi, and matsutake mushrooms. I plan to keep them all to pass on to future generations.

They only had five pieces of jade, but the two of them were content and decided not to take any more risks.

“Honey, we have quite a lot of stuff. Let’s start cooking from the New Year until the end of next year. Let’s put it away. I don’t know if Zhao Kelan is still being watched. We don’t dare to light a fire to cook now.”

"Let's go up the mountain again tomorrow and the day after, get some more stuff, go to town, sell some things, and then we'll run away."

"They're all distracted, which makes it easier for us to cook and start the fire. After all, we're afraid of being noticed while we're cooking."

"Okay, but it's just a pity for our three sons. We're both busy every day."

"Let those brats be happy. We've saved up so much stuff for them. We've been through so much together, almost got into danger, all for our future and so we can achieve financial freedom sooner."

"Do you think we should buy a house in the city now? They're not expensive right now."

"Don't go. Let's wait until it opens up. If you go and buy a house, and Zhao Kelan, that idiot, does something stupid and it gets back to us, we're finished. Have you forgotten our principles?"

"I know, it's just about hiding, I understand."

"The two of them packed up and arranged all the good things in the space before they went to sleep."

The next day, the two continued their ascent, hoping to gather more supplies before the heavy snow closed the mountain pass, as they still had an important task to accomplish.

"Honey, I feel like I'm about to die from exhaustion this week. It's been so busy. Every time I go down the mountain, I have to carry firewood. Let me show you."

Winter is almost here, time to hibernate. I'll just have to suffer a little for now.

They put all the pigs and chickens they had hunted into their spatial storage. For the past seven days, the two of them had been acting like madmen, taking whatever they could find. They would take wood if they saw it, and they wouldn't let go of wild vegetables, lingzhi mushrooms, or prey.

In addition to selling goods with Wang Hongjun and this crazy mountain climbing, I've lost more than 10 pounds.

The two drove to the county town that night, waiting until it was almost time. Because of what happened last time, no one dared to come out to make the deal, and with the New Year approaching, they were all worried.

After Jianjun and Tingting started their disguise, they went from house to house selling things. Once they sold out, they would run away. They mainly sold meat, white sugar, and candy. They sold even more melon seeds, but very little grain.

At first, they kept it a secret and were very cautious. But after they sold everything and were about to return to the village, they started selling fine rice like crazy. This attracted attention, and since many people were already eyeing Zhao Kelan, fewer people from the city were watching her.

Tingting and Jianjun are too fast and too skilled. They sell out and run away, even though the distance is far. There aren't enough people, so they're being led around.

That's about it. The two of them deliberately exposed themselves, and sure enough, someone reported them. Before he even got there, Tingting and Jianjun had already run away and disappeared. They hid in their spatial dimension until no one was around, and then the two of them drove back to the mountain in the village.

When the people of the Joseon Dynasty heard that someone was still selling things in the city, they hurriedly ran back, but when they got there, they still hadn't caught the person.

Li Chao said angrily, "We failed to catch such a big, living person. This is simply shameful."

So, is Zhao Kelan really not that person? This person's output is too large. Selling one piece and then running away is already a big deal. Over the years, they've only ever found small fry.

"Let's search first. This time, I'll search the city every day. They'll come back to the city eventually. It's impossible for one person to do this much."

"So many people need to eat, they can't stay for long, and it's almost Chinese New Year. Let's wait and see, this is the best opportunity."

"What about Zhao Kelan? Should we keep an eye on her?"

“Keep an eye on her. Even though she’s ruled her out now, I still feel like something’s not right.”

“When she goes to the city, I’ll keep an eye on her and make sure the people watching at the village entrance are careful. She can only pretend for a while, not forever. Just wait and see.”

Everyone nodded in agreement. Tingting and Jianjun's method was effective, and they finally stopped putting all their energy into the village.
