Chapter 42 Wow! It’s Silver!
"Fourth brother's wife is becoming more and more clever with her words. She has coaxed my parents so much that they don't know what to do." Wang replied loudly.
Lin Shiqi chuckled, "I just learned it from my sister-in-law. I'm not even one ten-thousandth as good as her."
Wang...
At this moment, Lin Shiqi pulled out a big radish, and suddenly, his body became unstable and he fell to the ground.
Wang over there took this opportunity to laugh at her, "Oh my! Some people are so proud of themselves that they get carried away! Haha, they deserve it. Even God can't stand it anymore and has punished those villains."
Then Lin Shiqi screamed, "Huh? What's in this soil? Why is there an old pottery jar buried here?"
When Wang heard the noise, she put down the dung bucket and came over to see what was going on.
"Where?"
Lin Shiqi said, "That's where I just pulled the radish. Sister-in-law, come and see if there is anything there. How could there be a pottery jar buried in our vegetable garden? Is it something good that our Zhou family's ancestors buried?"
At this point, Lin Shiqi raised his voice and began to shout, "Someone come! Mom! Please come quickly!"
Wang originally just wanted to be lazy and watch the fun.
When she heard Lin Shiqi say that it was a good thing buried by the ancestors of the Zhou family, her eyes rolled several times in her eye sockets, and she hurriedly said, "Fourth sister-in-law, please keep your voice down. Why are you making such a fuss? Let's take a look at what's inside first. If it's something bad, we can't let our parents get scared."
Lin Shiqi deliberately agreed with her, "Sister-in-law is very thoughtful. It may not be a good thing. It may be dirty. Mother is not in good health. We can't offend her."
"Yes! Let's dig out the jar first." Wang hurried over to help.
The two worked together to dig out the jar.
After what Lin Shiqi shouted just now, Mrs. Zhou might not have heard it in the house, but the children playing outside heard it.
Lao Zhou's family raises livestock, including a pig, some chickens, and some ducks.
Every morning the children in the family would get up and go into the mountains to collect grass for the pigs.
Erlang, Sanlang, Daya and Erya were just about to go out to collect grass for the pigs when they heard the noise and came over.
"Aunt Four, what happened?"
A few children arrived.
Wang dug the jars even faster, wishing she could drive the children away.
"It's none of your business. Go and dig grass for the pigs. If you're late or don't dig enough, your grandma will turn around and scold you to death and won't give you any food."
However, children should not be too curious.
No matter what Wang said, he would not leave.
Zhou Erya rolled up her sleeves and said, "Aunt, what did Fourth Uncle and Aunt dig up? Let me help you dig!"
Lin Shiqi likes Zhou Erya’s intelligence.
"Come on, come on, give me a hand. I don't know what it is. I accidentally pulled out a carrot."
Wang was furious, but no one listened to her.
Several people dug out the crude pottery jar.
Covered in mud.
Anyone who digs up a jar in their yard would be curious.
Several children opened their eyes.
Zhou Erlang even hugged the pottery jar and said, "It's still a bit heavy!"
Wang was the first to open the lid of the pottery jar.
Everyone's eyes were wide open!
"Wow! It's silver! It's silver! Lots of silver!"
"Oh my god! So much silver! We dug out silver from our vegetable garden!"
…
Several children shouted excitedly.
Lin Shiqi also pretended to be incredulous, "Oh my God! Our Zhou family's ancestors really left us something good! It feels like a dream."
Wang was also happy!
Who wouldn’t be happy to have money at home?
However, while she was happy, she also felt a little resentful. She was the first one to come to the vegetable garden to pick up manure. It would have been better if she had discovered it first.
"Let me count how many taels there are..." Wang reached out to touch.
When counting the silver, he would put a few taels into his sleeve pocket when no one was paying attention.
Without anyone noticing.
The more hairy the better.
Anyway, it was left by our ancestors, and no one knows how many there are.
Just as she reached out her hand, suddenly, a loud shout came from behind her!
"Go away, let me do it!"
It was Mrs. Zhou's voice.
Mrs. Zhou walks with the wind now!
When she heard that a jar was dug out from the vegetable garden in the backyard and there was silver inside, she was lying in bed when she suddenly jumped up.
He didn't ask for anyone's help and rushed over in a hurry.
When Lin Shiqi saw this, he couldn't help but smile.
Mrs. Zhou's vitality is strong and should not be underestimated.
He came forward and pulled Wang's hand away.
Pushed Wang aside.
He lowered his head to look into the jar again, gasped, and then couldn't stop smiling.
"There are too many people in the backyard and all eyes are on us. We should not show our treasure to others. Let's take it back to the upper room first." As she said this, Mrs. Zhou was about to pick up the jar.
Lin Shiqi said, "Mom, the jar is covered with mud, don't dirty your hands, let us do it!"
After all, Mrs. Zhou didn't care. "No, I'll do it. Erlang, you can run fast, go to the field and find your grandfather."
"Okay, milk!"
Mrs. Zhou warned again, "Don't tell anyone that we dug up some silver left by our ancestors in our backyard. We shouldn't show our wealth to others. If others find out, who knows what will happen! Do you understand?"
"I know, grandma!"
"Er Ya, San Ya, don't go to the mountains to cut grass for the pigs today. Go to my room and get a big pig's trotter, wash it and have it as a snack."
"Okay, milk!"
After Mrs. Zhou made a series of arrangements, the children were ordered to go about their business.
She carried the jar back to the upper room.
Wang didn't bother to pick up the manure and followed him to the upper room. She wanted to see how much silver there was so that she could divide the money later.
Mrs. Zhou was so excited that she felt dizzy as she walked while holding the muddy jar.
It was only with the support of Lin Shiqi that she was able to return to the house safely.
She didn't open the can either, waiting for Old Man Zhou to come back and open it together.
Erlang, Sanlang really runs fast.
After a while, Old Man Zhou came back with his hands behind his back.
It looked like he was walking at a leisurely pace, but in reality, his pace was definitely much faster than usual.
Lin Shiqi noticed that Zhou Lang, who had long legs, was left far behind by Old Man Zhou.
This time, old man Zhou has done a great job in saving his reputation.
Mrs. Zhou waited for a long time until Old Man Zhou came back and briefly told him what had happened.
Old Man Zhou asked, "Who discovered it first?"
Before Lin Shiqi could say anything, Wang said, "My fourth brother's wife and I discovered it together."
Lin Shiqi did not refute.
She was the one who buried the jar, she was the one who acted in the play, and she also deliberately found Wang, the extra. How could she steal the credit from Wang?
"Yes, I found it with my sister-in-law. It was in the radish field."
Old man Zhou hummed.
"You guys go out first. It's disrespectful for the things our ancestors left behind to be watched by so many people."
Wang didn't want to go out yet. She had seen the silver, but couldn't tell how much it was, and she felt itchy.
"I was the first one to discover it. The ancestors should like me. Dad..."
