Carrying such a valuable treasure, Chen Wang did not dare to linger and hurried back home as quickly as possible.
The little girl was not at home at that time, she went out to play with the children in the village.
Chen Wang pulled his wife into the room, closed the door, and drew the curtains.
Seeing him so mysterious, Lin Xiuqin's curiosity was aroused. She watched him take out two wooden boxes from the medicine basket without blinking.
"Wife, look at this."
Chen Wang opened the unlocked wooden box and presented the silver coins to his wife.
Lin Xiuqin looked at the silver dollars in the alley, a look of surprise appeared on her face, and she looked up at him.
She knew nothing about antiques and collectibles, let alone the value of this silver dollar.
To her, it was just a box of coins that had been used over the past few decades and might be worth some money.
"Wife, don't underestimate these silver coins. I've seen them. They are very rare. Do you know the saying that gold is valuable in troubled times and antiques are valuable in prosperous times?"
Chen Wang smiled and continued, "These are like antiques left over from previous dynasties. As time goes by, they will become more and more valuable, even far beyond your imagination."
After hearing what he said, Lin Xiuqin truly realized that this was a box of gold nuggets, and a look of surprise appeared on her face.
Then, she thought of something and looked at him with some worry in her eyes.
"Don't worry. The crimes committed by the two murderers must be sentenced to death. Even if they reveal the two boxes of silver dollars, it will be meaningless. They probably won't tell anyone."
"If they really tell us about this, no one will know that we took it. No matter how others ask, we will just say we don't know."
"Let's take a step back. Even if I'm suspected, it's fine without evidence."
Chen Wang saw what she was thinking and smiled with relief.
Lin Xiuqin nodded slightly, the worry in her eyes gradually faded away, and she made a few gestures, indicating where to hide.
After thinking seriously for a long time, Chen Wang said, "How about this, let's find a good place to bury them first. When we build a new house next year, I'll find a chance to embed them into the wall. Anyway, they can't be taken out for the next 10 to 20 years."
Hearing this, Lin Xiuqin nodded with her eyes slightly brightened, thinking it was a good idea.
"Then think about where to bury it first."
Chen Wang said with a smile.
Lin Xiuqin also looked thoughtful. After a while, her eyes lit up. She pulled him out of the room, walked out of the back door of the back house, came to a jujube tree next to the pigpen behind the house, and pointed to the ground under the jujube tree.
"Good idea, let's bury it here!"
Chen Wang nodded in agreement.
Afterwards, the two of them immediately got busy while the little girl was still here.
Chen Wang used a shovel to dig a deep pit. After Lin Xiuqin put the two wooden boxes down, Chen Wang began to fill them with soil.
After filling the soil, the two men stepped on it and compacted it until it looked no different from before digging the hole.
"Wife, you must remember this. These two boxes of silver dollars are not only a guarantee for our old age, but also an opportunity for us to leave our descendants to change their lives."
Chen Wang instructed seriously.
Lin Xiuqin stared at the ground where the treasure chest was buried and nodded vigorously.
"Let's go back and eat. I'm starving."
Chen Wang picked up the shovel beside him and grinned.
Lin Xiuqin nodded with a smile on her face.
After the two entered the house, Lin Xiuqin took out the still steaming breakfast from the pot.
Today we had big steamed buns, which were white and plump, and very soft when we bit into them. They were served with pickles and pickled radish given by my mother-in-law, and a bowl of corn porridge.
Chen Wang ate with relish and was quite full.
At the same time, the news that the two murderers had been arrested also spread throughout Chenjia Village.
The villagers all breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that the dark cloud that had been weighing on their hearts had disappeared.
There has been no progress in catching the murderer in the past few days, causing everyone to be anxious and worried. They really can't eat or sleep well, and many people even wake up several times every night.
Any movement outside at night, even a dog barking, would make the villagers feel like they were facing a great enemy.
After all, the two murderers were too cruel, and no one would want their entire family to die while they were dreaming.
Now that the murderer has finally been caught, the villagers are naturally overjoyed, but they can't help but curse a few times.
Naturally, Chen Wang, Chen Dazhuang and others also became the targets of praise from the villagers.
Especially Chen Wang and Chen Dazhuang, who once again became the center of attention and truly lived up to the title of "the most promising and handsome young men in the village."
Even in the next few days, the two men's reputation and deeds spread through word of mouth, and even several nearby villages heard about them.
