Farming and raising cubs: the vicious female supporting role is fought over by the whole family to b
Chapter 14 This matter is a big deal
"Then let's go to Aunt Li's house first!" Li Mumu said, "It happens to be at the end of the village. Let's listen to it all the way from house to house."
With this decision made, the four of them traveled quickly and arrived outside Aunt Li's house in no time.
"Fortunately, we brought a ladder." Looking at the courtyard wall of Aunt Li's house, although it is not high, it is not something she and her three children can climb over with bare hands.
Li Mumu set up a ladder outside the wall and climbed to the top of the wall first, carefully paying attention to the situation at Aunt Li's house.
Aunt Li's house had long extinguished the candles, and the house was dark. She didn't know if she had fallen asleep.
In order to save wax, most families in the village put out the wax early, but they haven't gone to bed yet.
"Come." Li Mumu sat on the wall and waved to the three children under the wall.
Gu Xiuxiu asked the youngest Gu Baijin to climb up first. Li Mumu carefully helped Gu Baijin sit on the wall, and then helped Gu Baiyuan sit up. Finally, after pulling Gu Xiuxiu up, he took the ladder up and set it up on the wall of the courtyard.
Li Mumu climbed down first, followed by Gu Baijin, Gu Boyuan and Gu Xiuxiu.
Li Mumu put her index finger on her lips, silently signaling them not to make any sound.
The three children nodded in unison.
The ladder was left by the wall, and Li Mumu quietly led the three children to the outside of Aunt Li's house.
Li Mumu didn't know which house Aunt Li was in now, so she blindly guessed a bedroom.
Although I don't know where Aunt Li's bedroom is, I think the structure of the houses in the village should be similar.
So I first looked in the direction of the bedroom where my father and mother were taken care of.
I didn't expect that she would actually be found.
Li Mumu then called to the three children, who were all squatting under the window and must not make any sound.
When Li Mumu was about to listen, suddenly the courtyard door creaked and was slowly pushed open. It could be heard that the other party was trying its best to avoid making any noise, but some noise was inevitable.
Li Mumu nervously pulled her three children and hid behind the house.
Four people poked their heads out from behind the house, and saw a dark figure coming in from the courtyard door.
Li Mumu: "..."
There was no light at night, and it was impossible to see who the other party was with only a little moonlight.
Li Mumu only felt that the other party's idea really confused her.
You could say he was sneaky, but he opened the courtyard door openly and came in.
You may say that he is upright, but his actions are also sneaky.
The man closed the door and came in. He escaped from the shadow under the large door cover, and his face gradually appeared in the moonlight.
Gu Xiuxiu whispered: "It's Uncle Li."
Li Mumu asked: "Aunt Li's husband?"
Gu Xiuxiu nodded.
Li Mumu murmured, "Why is he still sneaking around when he returns to his own home?"
"Oops!" As soon as Li Mumu finished speaking, he whispered.
"Third Aunt, what's wrong?" Gu Boyuan asked softly.
"Our ladder is still set up against the wall. It would be terrible if he sees it." Li Mumu whispered.
The four of them watched nervously as Uncle Li walked to the corner opposite to the ladder they had set up.
There is a big tree planted there. It has been there for some years and has grown very tall.
Li Mumu breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, he didn't see it."
Then I saw Uncle Li secretly digging a hole under the tree with a shovel.
He tried hard to control the sound of digging the hole, leaving only a little rustling sound.
It sounded like the ground was a little soft, as if it had been dug many times.
Then, Uncle Li took out a purse from his arms, weighed it twice, carefully put it into the pit, filled it with soil again, and compacted it with a shovel.
Finally, I sprinkled some ashes from who knows where, and pressed a few rocks on top.
Judging from Uncle Li's skillful movements, it is obvious that this is not the first time he has done this.
Li Mumu and the four of them looked at each other, and then saw Uncle Li returning to the house.
After a while, Aunt Li shouted in the room: "Where have you been fooling around again, and you came back so late!"
"After work, I was taken by Lao Zhang to have a drink and chat for a while." Uncle Li quickly explained in a good voice.
"Where did you get the money to drink?" Aunt Li turned over and got off the bed. "Did you secretly hide the money?"
Li Mumu and the three children looked at each other. Could it be that what Uncle Li buried under the tree just now was private money?
"No, no!" Uncle Li held his head and explained, "Lao Zhang's daughter-in-law gave birth to a fat grandson. He was very happy and invited me to drink."
"I gave you all my wages. I don't have any. Where can I get the money to drink?" Uncle Li said quickly.
When she heard that Uncle Li didn't spend any money, Aunt Li felt relieved and went back to bed.
While Uncle Li was cleaning up, Aunt Li said to him: "I saw the new daughter-in-law of the Gu family today. She really seems to have changed. She is completely different from the one I saw before. She looks so fresh and fresh." Lu Lai, her butt is twisted so much that she looks uneasy."
Li Mumu greeted the three children who looked angry and wanted to rush in to argue with Aunt Li. She gestured and whispered: "Let's go under that tree."
The four people hunched over again and sneaked under the big tree.
Uncle Li seemed to have kept the shovel at the base of the wall, so Li Mumu went to get it again and dig up the soil again.
After a while, something was dug.
"It's a purse." Gu Boyuan said.
"There are several more." Gu Xiuxiu whispered.
Li Mumu took out her purse, weighed it, and then opened it to look at it.
Sure enough, there were some copper coins inside.
"As expected, Uncle Li secretly hid the small treasury." Li Mumu whispered, then put the purse back, buried the soil again, and put the stones back in place.
"Let's go." Li Mumu said to the three.
The three obedient dogs followed Li Mumu and climbed the ladder over the wall from the original route, then put the ladder away.
A little far away from Aunt Li's house, Gu Xiuxiucai asked: "Aren't we going to tell Aunt Li about Uncle Li secretly hiding money?"
"Don't worry." Li Mumu said, "This matter is a big deal. Let's wait for a while and wait for Uncle Li to save more money before telling Aunt Li."
"When the time comes, Aunt Li will be very angry when she finds out that Uncle Li has hidden so much money." Li Mumu chuckled, "And what about Uncle Li? He worked so hard to save all this money, but in the end it was all lost to Li Auntie took it away, and the savings were all for nothing. I'm sure I'll have a lot of trouble with Auntie Li at home. I think she'll still be in the mood to tell me what's right and wrong when the time comes?"
After leaving Aunt Li's house, Li Mumu took three more to the two houses next to Aunt Li.
On the way home, I stopped by a few more.
This night, there was really no way to listen to all the people in the village.
"Shall we continue tomorrow night?" Gu Xiuxiu was very excited after hearing a lot of gossip.
"Listen! After listening, let's spread the word together." Li Mumu said, "Let's keep the matter of Uncle Li hiding money for now."
