Chapter 208

Seeing Wang An arrive, Wang Dazhu immediately ordered happily, "Don't be in a hurry to leave after the meeting ends in a while. Come with me to get the horse cart and stuff back."

"Mm, Dad, what good stuff did our family buy?" Wang An asked curiously.

Wang Dazhu counted on his fingers and said, "Two big grass donkeys, two horse carts, one set of plows, one set of egg rollers, one cultivator, 4 hoes, 4 scrapers, 4 sickles, and 2 pointed shovels, 2 square shovels, and a big chicken coop."

After listening, Wang An asked in confusion, "Dad, our family already has two horses. You could just get one donkey to pull the roller. What do you want two donkeys for?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Dazhu rolled his eyes at Wang An and secretly glanced at Liu Guilan. Finding that Liu Guilan's gaze wasn't looking this way, he then said in a low, grumpy voice:

"Is that something I can decide? Don't you have any idea who is in charge of our family?"

After Wang Dazhu finished speaking, he stopped paying attention to Wang An and turned his head to look forward.

Wang An was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud, but he didn't dare make a sound, mainly for fear that Wang Dazhu would kick him.

Wang An turned his head, walked over to his second uncle, Wang Daliang, and asked with a smile, "Second Uncle, what did you buy? Looking at your smiling face, you really didn't get little, did you?"

Hearing Wang An's question, Wang Daliang, who was already beaming, laughed directly and said while laughing:

"Hahaha, I'm basking in your glory, otherwise where would your second uncle have the money to buy anything? I managed to get the big white horse from our production team, and I also got a big grass donkey. Hahaha, by the way, I also got a horse cart and hoes, sickles, and stuff."

It could be seen that the glowing Wang Daliang was full of anticipation and hope for the future. Wang An couldn't help but think secretly: When Second Uncle and Second Aunt get home and see a pile of "Great Unities" and a pile of gold, what will they think?

Just after Wang An left Sujiatun, Mu Xueli hopped and skipped back into the house.

After entering the house, Mu Xueli found that Mu Hua and Liu Ruxin were already stunned, because the eyes of this couple were all staring straight at the "Great Unities" and the 20 loose gold bars in the sack.

They seemed to be stunned, or perhaps they were frightened. Anyway, the couple stared without blinking, and their whole bodies didn't even move a bit.

Consequently, Mu Xueli laughed smugly, "Dad, Mom, how about it? This much money, it's all ours. Happy? Glad? Hahaha!"

Hearing Mu Xueli's voice, the couple finally came to their senses. Liu Ruxin didn't answer Mu Xueli's question, perhaps automatically ignoring the second half of what Mu Xueli said.

Instead, she asked in a trembling voice, "Son, what's going on? Why is there so much money?"

Mu Hua also looked at Mu Xueli nervously, as if waiting for Mu Xueli to give a reasonable explanation.

Then, Mu Xueli began his "fabricating" performance, but he talked for a long time and it was all nonsense, because Mu Xueli kept bragging about how good his marksmanship was, how his marksmanship was always on target, but he didn't mention the "Great Unities" and gold bars for a long time.

"No sooner said than done, I pulled the trigger, and just heard..." Mu Xueli was in the middle of his bluffing when a crisp "slap" sound was heard. Mu Hua gave Mu Xueli a slap on the neck, and then Mu Hua scolded, "You speak properly, speak like a human!"

Mu Xueli, who was enjoying his moment, was abruptly interrupted. He looked at his father helplessly, then glanced at his mother who was about to explode, and had no choice but to honestly say that he found these things in an underground bunker and the three of them divided them up.

After listening to Mu Xueli's explanation, Mu Hua hesitated and said, "Could this be what that spy, who caused such a stir some years ago, hid?"

Mu Xueli looked at his father in shock, really not knowing how to respond. Fortunately, his brother-in-law Wang An had anticipated this long ago; if his parents asked, he must insist that it was found in the underground bunker. He hadn't even said anything yet, and Mu Hua had already guessed it correctly. What about others? If they knew about this, what would be the result?

Then Mu Xueli thought for a moment and repeated what Wang An had told him, emphasizing that these were his brother-in-law's exact words: This matter must rot in your stomach from now on, or just pretend it never happened!

Mu Hua and his wife naturally knew the gravity of the situation, so they carefully hid the money and gold in batches. It was only then that Mu Xueli discovered that behind the stove where his family cooked every day, where the firewood was usually placed, there was actually a stone slab buried under the dirt beneath the firewood!

This stone slab was not large, one could say it was just a flat piece of stone, over 50 centimeters in length and width, and under the stone slab was a stone pit about 50 centimeters in length, width, and depth.

Simply put, it was actually a box made of stone slabs, buried in the ground.

Mu Xueli looked at this pit in amazement, and said to Mu Hua and his wife, "Oh my god, I didn't see that coming. Our family has this secret? I'm just curious, with our family's poverty before, what was the point of making such a pit?"

Liu Ruxin glared at Mu Xueli upon hearing this and said grumpily, "You little brat, don't you see this stone slab is new?"

Mu Xueli blinked his big eyes and asked in confusion, "Then how did you two calculate that our family would make a fortune? You prepared a pit to hide money so early."

Liu Ruxin patted Mu Xueli and said somewhat proudly, "You speak properly, what 'calculate'? There is another stone slab pit like this in the east room's stove."

Hearing this, Mu Xueli looked at Liu Ruxin in surprise and then asked seriously, "Mom, Dad, do you have any other sons besides me?"

Liu Ruxin and Mu Hua were directly baffled by Mu Xueli's sudden strange question.

Liu Ruxin then answered in confusion, "No, we can't even afford to raise you, you brat. Why are you asking that suddenly?"

Liu Ruxin still cared about her son, and in fact, she was fooled by Mu Xueli's sudden seriousness.

Only Mu Xueli suddenly squinted his eyes mysteriously and said, "I feel like you two definitely know some tricks, and you just won't teach me, right?"

After Mu Xueli finished speaking, he also showed an attitude of "I already know, you don't need to hide it from me anymore."

But Mu Xueli had completely baffled Liu Ruxin and her husband. Mu Hua thought his son was talking about some skill, so he frowned and said while pondering:

"Know some tricks? What do your mother and I know! If we really knew something, our family wouldn't have ended up like this!"

After Mu Hua finished speaking, he looked at Liu Ruxin, as if asking: What do we know that we didn't teach our son?

But Liu Ruxin was also confused at this time, as if she was also thinking about what skills they knew but hadn't taught their son.

Seeing that there was no answer for a long time, Mu Xueli continued to ask mysteriously, while winking:

"Do you two know how to tell fortunes, predict good or bad luck, or something? You only have me as a son, so if you don't teach me, won't this skill be lost? Am I right?"

Mu Hua and his wife paused after hearing this, but their brows instantly relaxed. After their mouths twitched a few times simultaneously, they both took a deep breath at the same time, and then they both stood up, changing from squatting to standing, and walked toward Mu Xueli together.
