Chapter 255: Silver that Was Not Paid for in Time

Aunt Sun looked at Daya with a headache.

The woman came over and pulled the little girl up, "Da Ya, it's none of your business. You can take your brothers and sisters back to the house to play."

Turning around to look at Aunt Sun, he stopped talking for a while, then gritted his teeth and said, "Aunt Sun, I'm really sorry, I didn't take good care of that old hen, and it ran away.

You wait for me for a while, I will embroider more veils, and I will pay you the money in exchange for it, okay? "

Aunt Sun looked a little unhappy, "Osmanthus, I know your family is having a hard time. But, as a person, you can't be too greedy.

I didn’t ask you for any of the eggs I laid for more than three months. I have already helped what I should have done. Now that my daughter-in-law needs to take care of herself, you should return that old hen to me no matter what.

Your life is hard, and my family’s life is not much better. So many chickens and ducks died in my house before, and now I can no longer afford the money to buy more, so I can only take the old hens back. "

The old woman stretched out her hand to wipe away her tears, "Rong Niang, don't blame Osmanthus fragrans. She ate all the eggs for me just to replenish my health. My old man is gone, and my son also fell to death. My body is broken and broken." No, the family really can't get any money.

I saw that the children were still young and looked sallow and thin from hunger, so I didn’t want to be a drag on the family anymore. So...I killed your old hen and ate it. I thought that when I was full, I would go to the underworld to accompany my old man and son.

It also allows my daughter-in-law to no longer have to be burdened by me and can raise her children well.

Rong Niang, it’s because I’m a bad old woman and I didn’t want to starve to death, so I ate your chicken, but I didn’t end up dead. I can’t help you. "

The old woman cried, and the woman also wiped her tears, "Mom, it's because I'm incompetent and can't make money to support you, so the children have to suffer and get tired with me.

Mom, don’t seek death anymore. You have to live well and watch your children grow up and have a family.

Aunt Sun, please give me a few more days. When I do more embroidery work and sell it, I will pay you the money. "

Aunt Sun didn't expect her old hen to be eaten, and her face became even worse. It was obvious that the old woman, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were crying sadly, and she was helpless.

Ling Chu looked at the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who were wiping away tears, and then at the figure squatting aside muttering and wiping away tears, and sighed in his heart.

She originally thought that the woman who borrowed the chicken from Aunt Sun to lay eggs was greedy and wanted to keep the old hen unwilling to return it.

Unexpectedly, the old woman didn't want to live anymore. In order not to burden her daughter-in-law and several children, she thought of dying after eating the chicken.

The old hen couldn't get it off. The family was really destitute and couldn't afford any money to compensate.

But Ling Chu didn't want to go all the way in vain. She couldn't just destroy her brand.

She couldn't bear it when she saw the puppet next to her calling her "old lady" over and over again.

Sighing, he said softly, "Stop shouting. Even if you shout at the top of your lungs, they won't be able to hear you."

The puppet soul was stunned for a moment, and then said carelessly, "Girl, girl, can you hear me? Can you see me? Please tell my old woman that I have money at home, and I buried it in Zao Under the tree, let them dig it out."

While talking, he knelt down and kowtowed to Ling Chu.

【bite! 】

[The requested task is detected, please complete it, do more good deeds, and accumulate merit. 】

Ling Chu put away the system, whispered to the puppet soul, and said to the old woman, "Auntie, I noticed that wealth is lingering under the jujube tree in your house. There may be something underneath. You might as well dig it out and take a look."

The young woman smiled bitterly, "Wealth, girl, stop teasing us. My family can't even get half a copper out of it, so how can we have any wealth?"

The old man next to me was extremely anxious, "Girl, they don't know that I buried the money. Please tell them quickly."

The old woman also shook her head, "Girl, I really don't have any money at home. If I did, how could I not compensate Rong Niang?"

"Auntie, there is indeed something under your jujube tree. Could it be something your family buried before?"

Aunt Sun knew what Ling Chu was capable of, so she did not doubt her words, "Auntie, is it your wife or son who buried it? Go dig it out and have a look."

After listening to Aunt Sun's words, the old woman's thoughts arose. Before her husband died, the family was still living well. Could it be that money was really buried?

The old woman became more and more excited as she thought about it, and she quickly said to her daughter-in-law, "Da Ya, mother, go dig it up and take a look."

Although Sun Guihua didn't think there would really be any money buried under the tree, she didn't want to go against her mother-in-law's words, so she could only walk towards the jujube tree with a hoe.

Ling Chu also followed over and followed the direction pointed by the puppet soul and said to Sun Guihua, "You dig here."

Sun glanced at her, her lips moved but she didn't say anything, she just lowered her head and started digging.

I thought that even if I didn't dig anything, it wouldn't matter. At most, it would only take a little effort.

Although I thought so, I dug for a cup of tea and found nothing.

The old woman, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were inevitably disappointed.

Just when Sun was about to give up, there was a sudden crisp sound from the hoe.

After being stunned for a moment, he quickly accelerated his movements and dug, and soon a porcelain jar was revealed.

Mrs. Sun was overjoyed. After carefully digging out the soil around the jar with a hoe, she threw the hoe away, knelt down and pulled out the jar with her hands.

The old woman urged excitedly, "Open it quickly and take a look."

Mrs. Sun nodded and opened the lid, but it was dark inside, so she couldn't see clearly for a while.

Simply turn the jar over.

With a sound, the things inside fell out. More than a dozen pieces of silver of different sizes, a few strings of copper coins, and a few silver bills rolled out.

Sun was stunned by the things in front of her. She subconsciously wanted to touch them with her hands, but her hands were shaking.

The old woman wiped her tears, excited and sad, and murmured to herself, "Old man, this is what you hid. You hid so much silver and money, but you left without saying anything.

Why didn't you say anything? If you had said something, your son wouldn't have fallen to death."

The old woman cried more and more sadly. Sun thought of her dead husband and covered her mouth and cried bitterly.

Even Aunt Sun couldn't help sighing.

The puppet soul next to him cried and regretted and blamed himself.

He had secretly accumulated those silvers year after year.

Originally, he secretly hid these silvers for the sake of future generations.

Unexpectedly, he suddenly fell ill that year and died before he had time to explain.

After his death, the family had only a little money left to pay for his funeral.

In addition to paying for his wife's medical treatment and medicine, they also had to support the whole family, which was not enough.

His son had no choice but to go up the mountain alone to kill some small animals and sell them for money, but he accidentally fell off the cliff and died.

This time, it was even worse. (End of this chapter)
