How many times had she really wanted to flee this home, this hell? But watching her two children slowly grow up, she had to swallow her anger silently. She wondered what had gotten into this crazy old woman today...
After slapping someone hard, Second Aunt Liu passed by casually as if she had hit a dog. She didn't take it to heart at all. She never thought that this honest "family member" behind her was on the verge of exploding.
She hurried to the vegetable cellar in the backyard. Seeing the door and lock still intact, her pounding heart finally calmed down a little...
However, she immediately took out a key from the corner of her top. This vegetable cellar had not been used for a long time. Usually, another slightly larger vegetable cellar was used, so this one gradually became "abandoned", and only her key was left. Of course, this was also her deliberate arrangement.
With slight tremors, he inserted the key into the keyhole, turned it gently, and opened the lock smoothly.
Her heart, which had been about to jump out of her throat, finally calmed down. No matter whether everything in the house was thrown away, as long as the treasures hidden in the vegetable cellar were still there, she could make a comeback. She could still be confident when quarreling with others or dealing with a few daughters-in-law!
However, when she opened the wooden door and took a clear look at the situation in the vegetable cellar, all she could see was a mess and the afterimage of a dark hole...
She nearly collapsed to the ground as her vision went dark. Reluctantly, clutching her chest, she crawled into the vegetable cellar, slowly approaching the cave entrance. With a swiftness that was completely incompatible with her age, she jumped down into the dark room...
Looking at the empty dark room, where not even a hair was left, her face, like old bark, slowly revealed an expression as if her parents had died...
Then, the whole person fell down limply. The blow was too great. His head twitched and he fainted!
Because she arrived so suddenly, apart from her eldest daughter-in-law, Li Cuihong, who had been beaten, who knew she had gone to the backyard, no one else in the family noticed where she had gone. She had suddenly fainted in the darkroom, which resulted in her being lost and found two hours later. The dampness and dirtiness of the underground darkroom made her health even worse...
Since that lion roar in the yard, everyone has started to get up one after another. The most anxious ones are the youngest son and his family. The relatively smart and clever youngest son, Liu Shitou, knew something was wrong the moment he opened his eyes and saw the scene clearly...
Without having time to wake up his pretty wife who was still in a daze, he got out of bed and started looking for his treasure. But looking at the empty room, his heart was almost cold.
He looked at the bottom of the kang with a bit of reluctance, just looking at that clean space. For the first time, he did not praise his wife's diligence, but just felt sorry for his private money in the past few years...
With a quick turn of his eyes, he turned over and climbed onto the bed again, pushing his wife, who was still unwilling to open her eyes and still "struggling", to the side. He quickly lifted the khaki sheets and opened a wooden board with hope. However, looking at the empty secret compartment, he instantly covered his heart with his hands. For a moment, he was so heartbroken that he couldn't speak. He could only sit down on the kang with a sallow face...
After a long time, seeing that his lazy wife still didn't want to get up, he suddenly rode on her and grabbed his wife Zhang Lanlan's neck with his big hands.
"Tell me, did you steal my things? I don't want the rest of my things, but give me back the things in this secret compartment immediately! Give them back to me..."
“Woo… woo…”
Zhang Lanlan looked at the man who was pinching her neck in shock. Is this still the gentle man who hugged her tightly to sleep every night?
Also, are you an idiot? How can I speak when you're pinching me like that...
Finally, when Zhang Lanlan's face flushed red and she looked like she was about to die, Liu Xiaobao let go of her hand in great disappointment. He could guess that the one who emptied his house in the middle of the night was definitely not his lazy wife...
With his lifeless eyes, he didn't notice at all that his wife, who used to be as loving as one, now looked at him with a strange and hateful look...
Everyone in the yard got up and looked at the empty yard and the situation in their room that Old Man Liu described. They screamed in shock and immediately went back to their house to check on their own situation...
"It's okay, it's okay..."
Old Man Liu was furious when he saw his eldest and second sons looking so relieved. Then he looked at his youngest son, who looked so hopeless. What did he not understand? This thief treated them differently...
Until this moment, no one noticed that the old lady had disappeared for quite a while.
After watching the lively scene, Chu Xi brought a wild rabbit to Chu Xia and A Qiu's house. However, when she looked at the two worn-out books still treasured in the room and the poor living conditions of the family, she suddenly had an idea...
Take them away, away from this place, away from those greedy and shameless relatives...
Of course, another reason is that Little Stone is getting older and more sensible. It is impossible for me to take her with me all the time, and I still try not to let him enter the space...
