Butcher Li, along with Li Erzhu, three daughters-in-law, and Li Qi, searched Qian Chunhua's house from top to bottom, but found no silver.
Not to mention silver, there is not even a copper coin.
Butcher Li was so angry that he smashed all the clay pots in Qian Chunhua's kitchen.
"Dad, let's check out the shops along the official road." Li Erzhu suddenly thought of a place that had not been searched.
No normal family would hide silver on their body, and it was not banknotes, so Li's son was certain that Qian Chunhua's four taels of silver must be hidden in one of these two places.
After making up their minds, Butcher Li and his family hurried towards the shop beside the official road.
There was only one shop on the official road. Butcher Li knew without looking that this was Qian Chunhua's shop.
The main door of the shop was locked. After walking around the shop, Butcher Li chose to kick open the small door at the back of the shop.
The whole family rushed in. Li Li and Butcher Li went into the lounge, while Li Erzhu and his wife went into the warehouse.
The other two daughters-in-law searched the lobby, including in the drawers behind the counter.
At the Zhao family, Doctor Qian took a look and shook his head at Zhao Qi.
"Aunt Zhao, Uncle Zhao is dead." Zhao Li burst into tears...
Zhao Yongqiang and Li Cuihong next door were happily holding the silver and counting it several times.
"Dig a hole in the corner and bury it."
This time, Zhao Yongqiang would never let others find the silver easily.
After searching thoroughly and finding nothing, Butcher Li and his family looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Dad, let's clear out this place and leave. We can't stay in Huanghualing anymore." Li Erzhu made a prompt decision.
"What should we do with the child?" asked Li Dazhu's wife. Their child was still at Zhao Yongqiang's house, and they didn't feel comfortable taking the child with them to do such a shameless thing.
"Go back to Dong and take care of the child. Be careful." Li Erzhu pointed at his sister-in-law. "Take the child back to Tugang Village. We'll discuss what to do after we get back to Dong."
"We can't leave." Butcher Li flatly refused. Without the silver, even if they emptied out all the food here, their family of more than ten people would not be able to survive for long.
What's more, it's freezing cold outside.
"Dad..." Li Erzhu was anxious.
Butcher Li shook his head. "We can't leave. When I pushed Zhao Daqing just now, only Zhao Qingfeng and Qian Qi were present. We can just deny it then."
Li Erzhu was stunned. This was actually a solution.
He was unwilling to leave without finding the silver. Moreover, his home in Tugang Village had been looted by bandits. If he didn't get the money back from Qian Chunhua, his family's future life would be difficult.
After the agreement was reached, Butcher Li arranged for Li Qi to live here with his daughters-in-law. There happened to be some food in the warehouse, so they could have a full meal first.
Qian Chunhua placed the grain in the storehouse of the shop for Qian Li to see, otherwise the shop would have nothing, which would arouse suspicion.
Even so, there is still a lot of food in the warehouse.
More than two kilograms of rice, more than one kilogram of flour, and some eggs and meat.
Butcher Li has a large family and they eat a lot, so Li Qi and several of his daughters-in-law started cooking in the shop.
At the Zhao family, Qingfeng accompanied Zuqi, looking sadly at Zuxu who was lying motionless on the bed.
From Doctor Qian's words just now, Qingfeng already knew that his grandfather, like his parents, would never come back.
Zhao Qi wiped her tears and stood up. At this moment, she couldn't just focus on being sad. She had to take care of the old man's funeral.
