Zhu Lan nodded and said, “I wasn’t planning on taking anything, but I felt unwilling to leave empty-handed. However, taking everything would also be trouble. So I took some things from each package, mostly silver, but the original owner of this body was fond of jewelry, so I secretly took quite a few pieces. Fortunately, we are far away from the village, otherwise, we would have brought trouble to it.”

 


Zhou Shuren twitched the corners of his mouth. The original owner’s wife was a bit stupid and bold, and it could be said that her whole family was like that. Fortunately, they had gained some money from cheating others, otherwise, it was only a matter of time before they were exposed. However, they were forced to do so and had no other choice. If they didn’t silence the victims, their faces would be remembered, and it could have bought disaster for the whole family.

 


Zhu Lan also felt a bit uneasy and said, “Later on, I heard some news that the soldiers and bandits came back and attributed the massacre to the mountain bandits. They even raided several bandit hideouts and took almost everything that was looted from wealthy people. They never came back again after that.”
Zhou Shuren pointed at the family property, “The jewels you brought in exchange?”

 

 

Zhulan chuckled, “It’s not me, the original body did come back with jewels, but was reprimanded by her mother-in-law, who only took the silver, and let the original body hide everything else until the war is over. But it is a pity that the mother-in-law is gone, and the original body has been holding back in her heart and did not dare to take it. The original owner really listened to the mother-in-law and did not dare to tell her husband even after the mother-in-law passed away. If the mother-in-law says not to tell, she won’t tell.”

 

 

Zhou Shuren was also happy, “The owner of my body is a blessed one, with a supporting mother and an obedient wife.”

 

 

Zhulan rolled her eyes in her heart, the original owner was obedient to the mother-in-law, don’t feel too good about yourself, and then lowered your voice, “I plan to dig out the things tomorrow, and then hide them again. It’s not a good idea to hide everything in the house. If thieves come, they will take everything. It is better to hide them in different places.

 

 

Zhou Shuren agreed, seeing the pits and money all over the room, he also felt flustered, “I listen to you.”

 

 

Zhulan only put the jewelry back on the beam and planned to hide the rest. For now, everything was put in the kang cabinet. After busy work and exhaustion, they don’t want to move when lying down.

 

 

Zhou Shuren frowned, it is better for him that his teammate lived a long life, “Your body needs to be recuperated and replenished.”

 

 

Zhulan was moved and said, “Well, I will take good care of myself and try to live to be seventy years old.”

 

 

I don’t expect to live until eighty, and even seventy is not young. It’s not that I don’t have confidence in myself, but I don’t have confidence in the medical conditions of ancient times!

 


Zhou Shuren swallowed the words again, and the people around him fell asleep tiredly. With a chuckle, he thought that now he has a yé ye (1) and a waì gōng (2), and there was another person beside him. He closed his eyes and thought that he would not be able to fall asleep as he was used to being alone, but soon dozed off as well.

The next morning, Zhulan woke up early. She really didn’t dare to let her daughter-in-law call. She was really afraid that something would come out. She also wanted to change the status quo, so she went out with her clothes on.

 

 

Before leaving the room, she touched Zhou Shuren’s forehead, relieved that he didn’t have a fever, and went out quickly.

 

 

Zhou Shuren opened his eyes. He had woken up when there was movement around him. He raised his hand and touched his forehead. There was warmth in his eyes. It was the first time in many years that he was taken care of by someone.

 

 

Zhulan was the first to get up, and the daughter-in-law was still not out. Thinking of the hidden jewelry, she went directly to the old tree behind the house where it was hidden for more than ten years. The wall was high enough, but she won’t be able to hide it from her family if she dig it alone.

 

 

Then she thought that now that the family believes they don’t have much money and so everyone was safe and sound. If they really see jewelry, they can become more calculating. It seems that she should not move the jewelry in a hurry.

 

 

After deciding about this, Zhulan didn’t pay attention to the hiding place anymore and went to the bathroom. Then she took out some food for breakfast, and just as the fire was cooking, Li shi opened the door and came out.

 

 

“Mother you are awake!!”

 

 

The tone of surprise in the words of her eldest daughter-in-law showed how anxious she was. The original body was in poor health and couldn’t get up early. She insisted on asking for some supplements and nothing else, which made the original body accumulate enough hatred from the women in the village!

 

 

Zhulan didn’t look bad, and hummed, “The food is brought out, I will make the medicine, you make breakfast, and we will have rice porridge this morning.”

 

 

Li’s eyes widened, and she exclaimed, “The whole family will drink rice porridge?”

 

 

1. Paternal grandfather 2. Maternal grandfather
