Chapter 17: Foolish and Daring

Zhulan nodded, "I didn't intend to take any of it, but I would be unwilling to do so. However, it would be troublesome if I took all of it, so I took some from each bag, mostly silver. After all, I am a woman who loves jewelry, so I secretly took a lot of jewelry. Fortunately, I am far away from the village, otherwise I would have brought disaster to the village."

Zhou Shuren's mouth twitched. The wife of the original body was really foolish and bold. It should be said that all the family of his father-in-law were foolish and bold. Fortunately, there was some money left from the robbing of other thieves. Otherwise, it would be sooner or later to find out what happened to his father-in-law's family. However, she was forced to do so. Either she was silenced or her face was wiped out.

Zhulan was also a little worried. "Later, I heard some news. The soldiers and bandits came back and confirmed that the bandits did it. They even busted several bandit dens and robbed almost all the rich people in this area. They never came back."

Zhou Shuren pointed at his family assets and asked, "Did you exchange the jewelry you brought with you?"

Zhu Lan chuckled, "It's not me. The original owner did bring back jewelry, but was scolded by the mother-in-law. The mother-in-law only took the silver and asked the original owner to hide the rest and take it out after the war was over. It's a pity that the mother-in-law passed away. The original owner kept it in her heart and didn't dare to take it. The original owner really listened to the mother-in-law. She didn't dare to tell her husband when the mother-in-law passed away. If the mother-in-law said not to tell, she didn't tell."

Zhou Shuren was also happy, "The owner of my body is a blessed man, with a mother supporting him and an obedient daughter-in-law."

Zhulan rolled her eyes in her heart. She should listen to her mother-in-law and not feel too good about herself. Then she lowered her voice and said, "I plan to dig out the things tomorrow and hide the things at home again. It's not a good idea to keep everything in the house. If thieves really come, they will definitely catch us all. It's better to have more space."

Zhou Shuren agreed. Looking at the pits and money all over the room, he also felt uneasy. "I'll listen to you."

Zhulan only put the jewelry back on the beam. She planned to hide the rest tomorrow, so she put them all in the kang cabinet today. She was so tired after finishing her work that she lay down and didn't want to move.

Zhou Shuren frowned. It would be better if his teammates lived longer. "You need to take good care of your body."

Zhulan moved, "Well, I will take good care of myself and try to live to be 70."

She can't count on it at eighty, but seventy is not too many years old. It's not that she has no confidence in herself, but she has no confidence in the medical conditions in ancient times!

Zhou Shuren swallowed the words on his lips. The person beside him fell asleep due to exhaustion. He chuckled. Now he had become a master in three steps. There was another person beside him. He closed his eyes and thought that he would not be able to sleep because he was used to being alone. Unexpectedly, he fell asleep in a daze after a while.

The next morning, Zhulan woke up early. She really didn't dare to let her daughter-in-law call her, for she was really afraid that something would come out. She also wanted to change the status quo, so she got up while still wearing her clothes.

Before leaving the house, he touched Zhou Shuren's forehead and felt relieved to find that he didn't have a fever, and then he went out quickly.

Zhou Shuren opened his eyes and woke up when he heard some movement around him. He raised his hand and touched his forehead, with warmth flashing in his eyes. It was the first time in many years that someone cared about him.

Zhulan got up first, while her daughter-in-law was still asleep. Thinking of the hidden jewelry, she went directly to the old tree behind the house. She had hidden it for more than ten years. It was really hard to dig it out, and she couldn't dig it out in a short time. Even if the courtyard wall was high enough, she couldn't hide it from the family if she dug it alone.

Now everyone thinks that there is not much money at home and everything is stable. If they really see jewelry, they will have a lot of calculations. It seems that there is no rush to move.

Thinking of this, he stopped reading and went to the restroom to get some food for breakfast. Just as he started the fire to boil the medicine, Li pushed the door open and came out.

"Mom, you're awake."

The tone was surprised, and the eldest daughter-in-law was also worried. The original body was in poor health and could not get up early, so she had to think of other things, so that the original body had attracted enough hatred from the women in the village!

Zhu Lan didn't look upset, and hummed, "The food is out. I'll boil the medicine, and you make breakfast. We'll have rice porridge this morning."

Li's eyes widened and she screamed, "Is the whole family eating rice porridge?"
