"Bah! Everyone knows that you grew up together and you are in the same group as him. You can't trust what you say!" Zou retorted loudly.

Er Gouzi's voice was louder than hers, "Bullshit! My words don't count. Let's go to the town and find the guy at the silver shop to see if Changsheng bought it or you did."

What Ergouzi said is there anything you don’t understand? That silver hairpin is for immortality.

Zou also realized that it was impossible to ask the clerks in the jewelry store.

If that were the case, it would be extremely embarrassing. In order to save some face, she slapped her thigh and said, "I clearly saw him take it out from the tree hole. It is very similar to the hairpin I dropped before. I thought it was the one I dropped!"

Gu Dawang raised his hand and wiped his face, "Oh my God, why didn't I know you had a silver hairpin?"

Even though Gu Dawang complains, he will never undermine his own mother.

Changsheng held the hairpin and emphasized again, "This is mine. I bought it for my wife!"

"This Changsheng really loves his wife!"

"Didn't you hear Er Gouzi say that it cost Changsheng nearly a month's wages?"

“Tsk tsk tsk… Changsheng is so willing to give up!”

"I'm afraid this day won't last long!"

Zou didn't care what the villagers said. She just looked at Changsheng with a face full of complaints and said, "No wonder he is a fool. He put such a valuable silver hairpin in the tree hole. I made a mistake and lost my face!"

When everyone heard that Changsheng put such a valuable hairpin in the tree hole, they didn't know what to say. No one cared whether Zou had seen it wrong.

"This immortality is different from what we thought!"

"I don't know if there is anything else in that tree hole..."

"Then go in and look for it!"

When Shen Rong saw that Zou no longer pestered Changsheng for the hairpin, she knew that the matter was over, so she took Changsheng and left.

Gu Dawang and his mother did not stop them. While everyone was talking, they took his mother Zou and left in shame.

When Zou left, she secretly cursed Changsheng for being a fool, burying the hairpin outside for no reason. He must have lost his brain!

Both parties had left, and the villagers had nothing exciting to see, so they dispersed in twos and threes.

There were a few villagers who were more careful. They turned around and went into the tree hole where Changsheng lived to take a look, but of course they found nothing.

No one took Changsheng's small matter of hiding the hairpin in the tree hole seriously, and their attention returned to Shen Laogen's house again.

Wang Momo did not hide the fact that she gave Zhang five hundred taels of silver from others.

Shen Erzhu's brothers found out about the money, and after the Gu family left, they made a fuss over it.

Of course Zhang was unwilling to share the silver, as that was the money she exchanged for her daughter's life.

Shen Laogen's sons and daughters-in-law were not happy about it.

No one has divided the family property. No matter how the money was obtained, it must be confiscated. The money will belong to the whole family.

This time, Shen Erzhu actually stood on the same side with Zhang and fought against his brothers.

The commotion in Shen Laogen's family made the villagers laugh at many things, but more of them were envious and jealous.

That’s five hundred taels of silver!

No one dares to even dream about it!

But just two days after they worked out the rules, the five hundred silver coins from Shen Laogen's family were stolen.

A total of five hundred taels of silver were stolen by the thief!

Shen Laogen's family started crying and cursing in the village as if their ancestor had died.

Shen Laogen's sons and daughters-in-law were crying and cursing. The crying sounds spread from the east end of the village to the west end, miserable and lively.

I heard that Zhang fell on the bed and couldn't get up that day. Finally, her brother from her mother's side was afraid that she would be beaten by her in-laws, so he dragged her back.

If so much silver was lost in Zhang's hands, it is not impossible that she would be beaten by her sisters-in-law.

Finally, Shen Laogen's sons reported the case to the authorities. The police came and searched the village, but in the end they found nothing.

After hearing from the official that the chances of getting the silver back were slim, Shen Laogen and his entire family burst into tears and cursed.

Unfortunately, they cursed the sky so much that the stolen silver could never be recovered.

After Shen Rong learned about this, she hurried back to her parents' home and asked her parents to hide the money to avoid being targeted.

Shen Rong had her own guesses about who stole the silver. She saw Wang Zhi coming to the temple to burn incense some time ago. Maybe it was...

However, Shen Rong had no evidence, so she couldn't reveal a single word to anyone.

If people knew what she said outside and the officials investigated the Li family, her sister-in-law would not be able to hold her head up in her parents' home.

Shen Rong knew that with the relationship between her and her eldest sister-in-law, the chances of Li Shun coming to the house to steal money were small, but he was not the only thief in the world.

Recently, my mother's family has been buying land and cows. Many people in the village are jealous and are afraid that someone will take advantage of the situation.

I don’t know if Shen Rong thought of this, or if Sixth Grandma also thought of this problem.

Under normal circumstances, Sixth Grandma wouldn't care so much about whether any house was robbed, but last time Changsheng buried the hairpins in the tree hole, he showed off his wealth in the eyes of the villagers.

The old man couldn't help but think about it more.

In addition, there was quite a lot of silver in the family, so he discussed with Sixth Grandpa about going to the county to deposit the money in a bank.

To go to the county, you have to take an ox cart. Shen Rong's mother's family has an ox cart. If she doesn't take her own ox cart, there is no reason to take someone else's.

Just after lunch, Sixth Grandma put down her chopsticks and said to Shen Rong, "There have been a lot of things going on in the village recently. I plan to deposit the family's money in the bank. You have to hide your own private money."

"Don't worry, grandma. A thief will never find the place where I hide the silver." Shen Rong said confidently.

Her money and valuables were always kept in the space, so even if a thief turned the house upside down, he would return empty-handed.

Grandma Six didn't ask, she just said, "There are a lot of people who are jealous of your mother's family recently. Why don't you go back and ask if your parents want to go to the county town?"

"Then I'll go back and ask later."

Shen Rong knew that her grandparents had quite a bit of money. They had earned a lot of money from selling herbs and ginseng, so it would be safer to deposit it in a bank.

But her family recently bought cows and land, so they probably don't have any money to deposit in the bank. However, when she went to the county town before, she agreed with her eldest brother that she could go to the county town again and go back to ask.

My parents don’t have much money, but my brother and sister-in-law should have some savings. If they want to start a braised meat business, the money my two brothers have will be enough.

She did not ask Sixth Grandma to deposit the silver with her. After all, Shen Rong did not intend to let anyone else know about the space matter, except for Changsheng who was told by accident.

Even as for her mother's family, Shen Rong did not intend to mention it. After all, she was a married woman now and her brothers were all married. If she kept her mother's family's money, she would only be doing trouble for no reason.
