Zhou Daniu was a person who was easily defeated by soft forces. When he saw that the other party had more people and more power, he lost his momentum in an instant. Moreover, the people had been sold out, so how could he pursue the case?

However, they also knew that if they went back directly, they would definitely be scolded by their parents. In the end, they reluctantly spent one or two taels of silver to find out the news about the second house.

Not only did they fail to rescue the two people from the second room, but they also lost a tael of silver, which naturally made them feel very painful.

Thinking that all future wealth and glory would become a bubble, I felt extremely heartbroken.

When the two elders heard the news, they almost fainted. How could they not be angry when their good son was turned into a slave?

However, he still held some hope in his heart. If he had not yet sent the slave to the government, there might still be a chance to redeem himself.

Thinking that the imperial examination is approaching, I must try my best.

But their efforts were in vain. After all, it was Fu Qi who hired someone to sell the person to a wealthy family. That person knew the manager of the mansion, so naturally he handled the matter properly.

After the people from the second house found out that they were sold, they kept cursing and swearing at Fu Qi.

They were used to being arrogant at home and had never restrained themselves. Now they dared to make trouble in front of outsiders. They were beaten up and became obedient.

Anyway, it was only bought to do heavy work, so there is no need to worry too much.

By the time the Zhou family got the news, they had already signed a contract to become servants of the second wife, and were not allowed to be redeemed before the time came, so they gave up all hope.

In the end, there was no other way. After all, things had come to this point, so I might as well make more money there.

Since they could no longer rely on their son, the two elders turned their attention to their grandson.

Since Fu Qi and the others left the Zhou family, they naturally lived a much more comfortable life than before.

Eating meat for every meal made the whole family's faces look much rosier, and they also gained some weight. It seemed that they were living a comfortable life.

Perhaps Zhao Cui had gained more confidence and was no longer as weak as before. She began to deal openly with other people in the village.

Life here is getting better and better, and Fu Qi naturally can't let the other members of the Zhou family go so easily.

In that life, Zhao Cui was harmed by her eldest sister-in-law and third brother's wife, so naturally she should take revenge.

Now my third brother’s wife has been sold as a servant, so let her stay alive for a while.

Now that my eldest sister-in-law is the only one left, it is naturally impossible for me to let her go.

In the dead of night, Fu Qi sneaked into Old Lady Zhou's room, found where the silver was kept, and discovered that there were more than sixty taels of silver inside.

As expected, this family is extremely selfish. Even towards their most beloved son, they still have selfish thoughts.

Therefore, Fu Qi was not polite at all and took all the silver away, leaving some copper coins there.

Then he sneaked into his eldest brother's room and hid ten taels of silver where his eldest sister-in-law kept her clothes.

Old Lady Zhou had the habit of counting silver every day. When she found that the silver she had hidden well was missing, she was extremely panicked because that was all her silver.

Looking at her panic, Mr. Zhou realized that something was wrong.

I searched the whole house but couldn't find it.

Mr. Zhou's hands were shaking violently, and he forced himself to calm down. He thought that the house was not in a mess at all, which meant that someone knew where they kept the silver.

After thinking about it carefully, it might be a thief in the house.

How could Old Lady Zhou bear it? She didn't care whether there was evidence or not. Since the eldest wife's family was the only one left in the family, she went straight to the eldest wife's house and rummaged through all the drawers and cabinets.

Zhou Daniu and his eldest daughter-in-law were both shocked and puzzled by Mrs. Zhou's behavior.

The eldest daughter-in-law was naturally disgusted, and hurried over to pull Old Lady Zhou away, wanting to ask what had happened.

But before she could finish, she got slapped hard in the face.
