Running with the ball in the lean years, the evil mother-in-law and the whole family regretted it

Chapter 48 The moon is dark and the wind is blowing high at night
Ever since she met Mr. Jue again because of Chen Yousheng's incident, Bai Taotao had a plan in mind.

And she decided to implement this plan tonight.

night--

It was a dark and windy night, and Bai Taotao drove an ox cart out of the village. After leaving the village, she first quietly went to a ruined temple ten miles outside the city to conduct a grain trade, and earned more than one hundred taels from the resale.

When the transaction was completed, she did not choose to rest on the spot, but quietly disappeared into the night.

About an hour and a half later, the door of the Jue family mansion was knocked by several stewards.

"It's not good, sir. It's not good. The granary has been stolen."

"Sir, the granary has been stolen."

"Sir, the granaries have been stolen and all the food is missing."

Master Jue, who was sleeping soundly with his beautiful concubine in his arms, almost betrayed himself on the spot when he heard that his servants were anxious to report.

After pulling away, he ignored the dissatisfaction of the beautiful concubine in his arms, put on his clothes and hurried to the front yard.

"What's going on?" Mr. Jue said sternly with a dark face.

"Master, all the food in the granary suddenly disappeared out of thin air."

"Yes, sir, during the previous round of inspection, the granary was in good condition and all the grain was in the granary. But when the inspection team went to inspect after the handover, we found that all the grain in the granary was missing."

"It's the same with our food over there, it's all gone."

Mr. Jue's face turned white and black as he heard this, "What do you mean disappearing? All the food in the three granaries is gone?"

"It just disappeared, disappeared into thin air."

"Tell me more about it! What does it mean to disappear out of thin air? What does it mean to disappear? Do you all think I'm a fool? Even if you steal the food in the three granaries, it's impossible to empty them all at once, and it's impossible to make any movement at all. No?" Master Jue was so angry that he almost didn't do anything.

When the three stewards saw this, they were so frightened that they couldn't even speak.

"There's just...no...no movement. It's...all of a sudden...all gone in a short period of time. We've also sent people to investigate, and nothing...was found. Food...food just disappeared."

"Yes...yes. There was no movement. Our people searched all the places nearby and found nothing. It was like the food disappeared out of thin air, leaving no trace."

After listening to the explanations of several granary stewards, Master Jue threw a teacup at them.

"You are all fucking farts. Disappeared out of thin air? Vanished? Who are you all fucking fooling? I think you are just keeping it to yourself. Don't forget, there is no one else in these three granaries except me and you. I know, who else has the ability to move all the grain away from the granary?"

Master Jue's three granaries are all built very concealed. Most of other granaries are built on the ground, but his three granaries are all built underground, dug cellars.

And they are all arranged in the east, west and south sides of the city, in the backyards of the houses in three directions.

Not only the stewards in the house knew about these granaries, but also Mr. Jue himself knew about them.

This suddenly disappeared out of thin air. Master Jue naturally would not believe that it was done by outsiders. He could only suspect that they were hiding behind the scenes.

"Come here, take these stewards down and interrogate them carefully. We will release them when we reveal the whereabouts of the food."

After saying that, Master Jue stood up and led a large group of people to the three granaries carefully.

Not long after he and others left the Jue family's mansion, a figure quietly entered the Jue family's warehouse. After an unknown amount of time, the sky began to clear up, and Master Jue came back with his servants with dark faces.

Obviously, he went to check it himself and found out nothing, and the food disappeared without leaving any trace.

"Master, will the sudden disappearance of these grains affect..." Manager Tu, who has been with Master Jue for decades, looked at Master Jue with a dark face and said nothing, but still had the courage to ask.

This statement made Master Jue even more panicked.

However, he did not get angry at the steward next to him, but slowly spoke: "At dawn, you can go to the accountant to pay some money and see if you can buy a batch of grain first. This matter is not a trivial matter. Before the matter is investigated, Don’t let people over there know about it until you know it clearly.”

Manager Tu responded: "Yes." Then he went down to do some work.

But not long after, I saw Manager Tu running back in a hurry, "Master, it's not good."

Seeing that Manager Tu was also in a hurry, Master Jue asked impatiently: "What happened again? It's been happening every day. Why are you like this too?"

Steward Tu bent down and replied: "The house was also stolen. Just now, I followed the master's instructions and went to the accounting office to pay money. When I opened the warehouse over there, I found that the warehouse was empty."

"What!!" After listening to Manager Tu's words, Master Jue's voice increased by dozens of decibels, and then he stood up.

Because I woke up too quickly, I didn't sleep all night last night, and because of the continuous bad news, my blood pressure suddenly shot up, and then I saw Master Chue fall down with a thud.

Instantly the entire Jue family was in panic.

However, Master Jue still has a few good confidants around him. Even if the Jue family was in chaos and the granary was stolen, the news of the theft from the warehouse was not leaked at all.

At dawn the next day, Bai Taotao thought that the theft of Jue's house would cause a storm in the city, but what happened was that everything was quiet as before.

Just when Bai Taotao was wondering, there was only a little news on the street, that is, Master Jue suddenly fainted early this morning. He has not woken up yet. He has invited the best doctor from Fucheng overnight.

After hearing the news, Bai Taotao did not give up paying attention to the Jue family.

However, in order not to attract attention, she could only continue to do business calmly while paying attention to the Jue family.

And in her newly expanded storage space, she filled half of it overnight.

In the past few days when Mr. Jue fainted and fell into a coma, Bai Taotao delivered goods as usual every day. When she had nothing else to do, she went home to help harvest the ramie next to the house.

Now the second harvest of ramie has begun. After this harvest, Baitaotao will prepare to dig up the ramie and then dig a well on the land.

Everyone in the village is already aware of the matter of digging a well, and even a well-digging team has been formed. Some of the materials required for digging a well have been prepared. Now the work of digging the well can begin as soon as the ramie harvest is completed.

The ramie and white peach in this land were useless and not worth a few coins, and the ramie had to be disposed of after harvesting. Baitao didn't want to waste the effort, so he asked Chen Defu's family to harvest it. The harvested ramie also belonged to Chen Defu, and the white peach belonged to Chen Defu. As long as the peach stalk is used, it can be used as firewood in the future.

Although there are only three people working in the Chen Defu family now, they have always worked efficiently. In less than two days, the entire field of ramie was harvested.

The ramie stalks were also cut down with help, and then tied into bundles and stacked under the eaves of the kitchen. After drying, they could be used as firewood.

The well-digging team started working on the second day after the ramie harvest was completed.
