Chapter 65 Is she just pretending?

Zhou Laidi also graciously opened the door for her, "It's dark and the road is slippery, so be careful where you step."

Shen Qing went out of the room as if nothing had happened, stood in the main room for a while, and then went out.

In the back room, Granny Shen pricked up her ears and listened to the noise. She felt that Shen Qing had gone far away, so she quickly approached Shen Hui and asked anxiously: "Girl Hui, where is your money?"

"what?"

"Mother, what are you talking about!" Zhou Laidi was secretly annoyed that the old woman asked too directly, and she couldn't even turn a corner.

Grandma Shen knew that she had made a slip of the tongue, and hurriedly made amends, "I mean, this house is dilapidated, and there are mouse holes everywhere, don't leave the silver pots indiscriminately, and let the mice drag them away later, that old He's house in our village..."

She also said that there used to be an old lady named He in the village who put money in a cloth bag and hid it in a rice vat. However, she was found by a mouse and dragged into a mouse hole. The family went crazy looking for it. It was not until later when the old house was demolished that she turn up.

Everyone in the village used it as a story to tell the children. As for whether it was true, there was no way to verify it.

Seeing that the remedy is okay, Zhou Laidi also joked: "That's the reason, it's best to put it in an earthen jar, and the loose money should be hidden in the closet, not in the hole in the wall. There is no money hidden in the hole in the wall of your house, right?"

Zhou Laidi looked around at the wall, but the light was too dark and she couldn't see clearly even with her eyes wide open.

Grandma Shen simply climbed onto the kang and went to the cabinet at the top of the kang, "You two didn't bring a few clothes when you came out of the house, let me see, if you don't have enough clothes, ask your second aunt to help you make some more, ouch! Here Why is the head so deep!"

She stretched her arms in and dug out, until half of her body was almost inside.

Shen Hui looked hesitant, not knowing what to say.

There was none in the closet and no cracks in the wall were found. Granny Shen was a little angry and was about to ask Shen Hui again when Zhou Laidi suddenly turned her around and motioned her to look at the roof.

The light from the oil lamp was wired, and it was pitch black above the beams, and they couldn't see anything at all, but a piece of rope was hanging down, allowing the two of them to see it.

Granny Shen got excited, "Hey, what is this? What good things did you hide on the roof?"

She reached out to reach it, but couldn't reach it.

"I'll move the stool!" Zhou Laidi quickly ran to the main room and moved the best chair in. "Mom, hurry up and take a look."

Grandma Shen secretly scolded her for being unfilial. The chairs have been brought in, so can't you get up on your own?
But she was afraid that if the delay continued, Shen would be unable to do anything when he came back from the shower.

Not much nonsense, just step on it and have a look.

Just when Granny Shen stood up, a dark shadow suddenly stuck to the window, "Grandma, Second Aunt, what are you doing?"

"Ouch!" Grandma Shen panicked, her feet went weak, and her whole body tilted to one side.

"mother!"

"grandmother!"

The first one was from Zhou Laidi, and the second one was from Shen Hui.

Fortunately, the room is small, so Grandma Shen faces the kang to the left, and her second daughter-in-law faces to the right.

Shen Qing snickered outside the window and deliberately asked loudly, "What's wrong?"

Granny Shen rubbed her waist and got up, "It's okay, grandma accidentally twisted her waist."

Zhou Laidi also inhaled in pain, "I accidentally stepped on my foot, you should go take a shower!"

Shen Qing: "Oh! Then you have to be careful, you are already old, and your arms and legs are not flexible. If it breaks, I can't bear the responsibility."

Zhou Laidi was hating in her heart, but she didn't dare to say more.

Only when there was no movement outside the window did he dare to complain in a low voice.

Grandma Shen sat down on the kang annoyed, thought for a while, and then pointed her finger at Shen Hui, "Girl Hui, grandma doesn't want to take your money, but she is afraid that it will be unsafe for you two little dolls to hold the money. Here, when you want to use it, you can use it anytime, which is convenient and safe, don’t you think so?”

Shen Hui is not stupid, when she saw them rummaging around just now, she was already upset, and remembered that the younger sister had secretly told her in the kitchen before, that you should keep your mouth shut about money, and don't say a word. .

So, she just pretended to be stupid.

"Grandma said yes, so let's do it!" What your old man says is what it is!

Grandma Shen thought she had been persuaded, so she continued her efforts, "Then you take out the money and tell grandma to open her eyes."

Zhou Laidi also sat on the other side to persuade, "I heard that your business was booming during the temple fair. You must have made a lot of money, right?"

Shen Hui blinked, and suddenly clutched her stomach, "Ah! My stomach hurts, maybe I ate too much at night, grandma and second aunt sit down a bit, I'm going to the toilet."

She clutched her stomach and ran away, leaving behind the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Shen family with a dazed look on their faces.

Grandma Shen was puzzled: "Isn't she just pretending?"

Zhou Laidi shook her head, "Hui girl is the most innocent, not as thoughtful as Qing girl, I think it really hurts my stomach."

Grandma Shen looked around again, "Then where do you think they can hide their money?"

Zhou Laidi also looked left and right, "If there isn't one in the room, could it be a hidden stove cave?"

In the kitchen at this time, Shen Qingzheng was digging at the stove hole with iron tongs.

She didn't eat enough at night, there were only so many noodles, her father and Shen Feng were reincarnated like starving ghosts, she couldn't bear to see her sister's wrists were so tired that she couldn't lift her wrist, so she only ate half a bowl and said she was full.

Now I was hungry and didn’t want to do anything else, so I took out two eggs, washed them and put them in the pot, added a firewood, boiled the eggs while boiling the water, and I could eat them after taking a bath.

Hearing footsteps, she poked her head out from behind the stove, "Sister, why are you here?"

"I'm going to take a look at the pig pen. Have our chickens been counted? Is the cage door closed? Are there many ducks?"

"The pigsty belongs to Huolinguan. The pig manure has been cleaned up, and the pigs are fed at night. The chickens are counted, and there are not many ducks. Two eggs were collected at night. Sister, let's kill a chicken tomorrow." ! Anyway, there are people at home, so I can’t still eat pickle cakes, and the vegetables in the garden will take half a month to eat!”

Shen Hui paused when she heard the words, and when she heard that the chicken was going to be killed, her face was so ugly, "Aren't there fish in the small river ditch in the backyard? I will cook the fish tomorrow, so why kill the chicken? The chickens just caught this year , look big, but it grows only chicken feathers, in fact, there is not much meat, let's save the eggs for laying!"

Shen Qing laughed, "Sister, you can't have such a thought. We raise chickens for food, and leave the hen to lay eggs. It's useless if there are too many roosters. Besides, the young roosters taste the best when they are stir-fried."

The first batch of chicks had already grown to about two or three catties, and they were at their tenderest.

What's more, the green peppers in the garden seem to be well-fed and the temperature is suitable, so they start to bear green peppers early.

The big ones are one stick long, and a pepper seedling is only one or two big, but it is enough, they planted an acre of peppers, and picking a few casually is enough for a meal.

Shen Qing could already predict that in half a month, they would have to eat chili peppers all the time.

However, she has already thought of several ways to eat green peppers, which are also easy to store.
