Chapter 17: Stupid and bold

Zhulan nodded, "I didn't intend to take it, but I would be unwilling not to take it. However, it would be troublesome if I took it all, so I took a little from each bundle. Most of it was silver. After all, I was a woman who loved jewelry, so I secretly took a lot of jewelry. Fortunately, it was far away from the village, otherwise it would really bring disaster to the village."

Zhou Shuren's mouth twitched. The wife of his original body was really stupid and bold. It should be said that all the family of his father-in-law were stupid and bold. Fortunately, there was still some money left over from the thieves, otherwise it would have been a matter of time before she found out about his father-in-law's family. However, she was forced to do nothing. Either she was silenced or her face was remembered and the whole family was wiped out.

Zhulan was also a little worried. "Later, I heard some news. The soldiers and bandits came back and determined that the bandits did it. They also destroyed several bandit dens and robbed most of 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?"

Zhulan 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 to support him and an obedient wife."

Zhulan rolled her eyes in her heart. She thought 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 them all in the house. If a thief really comes, he will definitely take everything away. It's better to have more space."

Zhou Shuren agreed. Looking at the room full of pits and silver, he also felt flustered. "I'll listen to you."

Zhulan only put the jewelry back on the beam and planned to hide the rest tomorrow. Today she put them all in the kang cabinet. After finishing her work she was so tired 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 seventy."

She can't count on him at eighty, but seventy is not too 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 back the words on his lips. The person beside him fell asleep due to exhaustion. He chuckled. He had become a grandfather by leaps and bounds, and there was another person beside him. He closed his eyes, thinking that he would not be able to fall asleep 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 fear that something would come out. She also wanted to change the status quo, so she went out while wearing her clothes.

Before leaving, he touched Zhou Shuren's forehead and felt relieved that he didn't have a fever, so he went out quickly.

Zhou Shuren opened his eyes and woke up when he heard movement around him. He raised his hand and touched his forehead, and warmth flashed 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 her family if she dug it alone.

Now everyone thinks that the family doesn’t have much money and everything is safe and stable. If they really see the jewels, there will be a lot of calculations. It seems there is no rush to move.

Thinking of this, he stopped reading and went to the toilet 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 upset. She was in poor health and could not get up early, so she had to supplement her brain with other things, which made her attract enough hatred from the women in the village!

Zhulan 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?"
