I am the stepmother of my son, and the little villain has changed into a little cotton-padded jacket

After hearing what the servant said, Liu Ergou suddenly felt that it made sense, and immediately felt that if he couldn't find this heirloom, he would be in big trouble.

Thinking of this, Liu Ergou immediately became anxious and hurried out to look for it.

"Yes, yes, thank you for your advice, sir. I will go out and look for it right away. I will search along the route we took today. Don't worry, I will definitely find the master's heirloom."

The servant nodded and said nothing more, just quietly watching Liu Ergou's figure disappearing into the distance.

Liu Ergou ran out of the house and looked along the way for the thousand-year-old jade that the servant had mentioned, and he believed it without a doubt.

While searching, I was thinking about what would happen to me if I couldn't find it.

The more I thought about it, the more anxious I became, and the more scared I became.

But after searching all the way, Liu Ergou didn't see any trace of the ancient jade. He even suspected that it might have been picked up by someone in the village.

If it was really picked up by someone else, they would definitely not return it, and then he would be completely finished.

He was anxiously searching for traces of the ancient jade along the way. Some people who were strolling in the village saw Liu Ergou's anxious look and immediately had some guesses in their minds.

He immediately spread the news, and the servant also deliberately took a walk around the village, revealing the news that the rich businessman's heirloom was a thousand-year-old jade that was now thrown into Xiaozhu Village.

There was a treasure hunting craze in the village. After all, it was a thousand-year-old jade. Even if they couldn't keep it for themselves, they would surely get a lot of reward if they found it and returned it to the rich businessman, right?

It's just looking for something, it won't take much time. If they find it, it would be best to claim the reward. If they can't find it, they won't lose anything, so why not do it?

Tian Zhi, who was idle in the village all day, also heard about this, so he immediately started looking for the thousand-year-old jade.

He first followed Liu Ergou around, and found that this guy also had no clue, so he decided to look for it by himself. Following Liu Ergou would just be a waste of time, it would be faster to go around by himself.

Tian Zhi did what he said and toured the entire Xiaozhu Village, but he didn't find any trace of the thousand-year-old jade.

However, the servants around the rich businessman said personally that the thousand-year-old jade was lost in Xiaozhu Village, so there must be no mistake. There must be some other place he has not looked for.

Tian Zhi walked aimlessly on the street, frowning as he walked, wondering where this thousand-year-old jade had been left behind.

Walking under the old locust tree in the village, Tian Zhi planned to take a rest, but suddenly heard several women sitting around him chatting about family matters also discussing this matter.

"Hey, have you heard that the heirloom of the wealthy businessman from our village was lost? I heard that this heirloom is worth tens of thousands of taels of silver."

"So much? Tsk tsk, poor people like us can't even see a few hundred taels of silver in our lifetime, let alone tens of thousands of taels."

"That's right. If anyone in our village can find this thousand-year-old jade and return it to the rich merchant, the rich merchant might be so happy that he would give a reward of several hundred taels of silver."

"That's great! Hey, I heard that someone really saw this ancient jade. It's emerald green. I heard that the ancient jade seemed to have been eaten by a horse in our village."

"How could something so valuable be eaten by a horse? The man didn't even say anything about picking it up?"

"He said he went over and before he could bend down to pick it up, the horse swallowed it. You say we can't just kill someone's horse for no reason."

"Yes, it's such a pity. I wonder who would be lucky enough to take the ancient jade out of the horse's stomach."

Several women were talking about this matter one after another. Tian Zhi, who had heard everything, was so excited that he almost stood up.

The thousand-year-old jade he had been looking for had finally been found. How could he not be anxious?

No wonder he had searched every corner of the village but found no trace of the thousand-year-old jade. It turned out that it had been swallowed by the horse.

Upon hearing the news, Tian Zhi was so happy that he almost jumped up. If the animal was swallowed by the horse, it would be very easy to find, after all, there was only one family in Xiaozhu Village that had horses.

That is the Zhou family who lives at the east end of the village. They raise two strong horses. This is something everyone in Xiaozhu Village knows.

Thinking of this, Tian Zhi immediately stood up and turned to walk towards Zhou's house.

After he left, the women who were originally sitting under the old locust tree chatting about family matters suddenly became quiet and looked at each other.

Then they all stood up and walked to a corner, looking at the stranger in black in front of them, and the aunt in the lead said with a smile.

"We've said everything you just asked us to say."

The man in black nodded, then took out a cloth bag filled with silver from his arms and handed it to the aunt.

The auntie took the cloth bag with a smile and left with the other women.

Mu Xia stood there watching Tian Zhiyuan's leaving figure, curling the corners of his lips. Now the fish was completely hooked, and all he had to do next was watch the show.

Tian Zhi arrived at the door of Zhou's house and happened to meet Zhou Yong who was returning from working in the fields.

When Zhou Yong saw Tian Zhi, he was so furious that he almost couldn't control his anger and rushed up to beat Tian Zhi up.

But thinking of what Wen Shutang said, Zhou Yong barely suppressed his anger and looked at Tian Zhi with a cold face.

"What are you doing at my house?"

Tian Zhi looked at Zhou Yong's expressionless face and secretly guessed that he probably didn't know that he had gone to his sister's house to cause trouble a few days ago.

Zhou Yong usually disliked him, so he never gave him a good look, so Tian Zhi didn't pay much attention to Zhou Yong's unpleasant expression, thinking that he was just the same as usual.

Tian Zhizi bared his teeth and said, "Hey, Brother Yong, I came here today because I really want to ask you for help with something."

"Speak." Zhou Yong said coldly.

Tian Zhi rubbed his hands, looking a little filthy: "I remember your family should have horses, right? Can I take a look?"

"Why are you looking at my horse?" Zhou Yong knew that this was part of Wen Shutang's plan, so he continued speaking according to Tian Zhi's words.

"I've been studying how to raise horses recently, and I wanted to learn from you. If it's suitable, Brother Yong, can you sell both of your horses to me?" Tian Zhi's eyes flashed with greed.

Zhou Yong glanced at him and raised his eyebrows when he heard that.

"You raise horses? Did I hear you right? Someone as idle as you is actually thinking about making money for yourself one day?"

"Hehe, Brother Yong, stop teasing me." Tian Zhi said perfunctorily with a smile.

"Okay, come with me and I'll take you to see it." Zhou Yong nodded, then turned and walked into the yard.
