So after her father left, Zhou Lingling walked over.

"Mom, this is for you."

Chen was startled when something was suddenly stuffed into her hand.

"what?"

In the moonlight, Chen looked down and her heart, which had just calmed down, began to beat violently again.

silver……

Two big, plump silver coins were held in his hands.

Chen was dumbfounded.

"My daughter..." Where did you get so much silver?

Twelve!

And five taels of silver for buying marinade ingredients tonight!

Zhou Lingling looked calm, as if what she had done was no big deal.

"I picked it up in the mountains last time."

Chen: "..."

She thought of the gold chain.

The gold chain that I planned to save as a dowry for my daughter.

She pulled the little girl over, turned her around in her hands, and touched her up and down.

Then he asked seriously:

"Tell me, what did you pick up?"

There are graves on this mountain, and many of them are hundreds of years old, but the graves can no longer be found.

Chen was worried that her daughter might have made some fortune from someone who had died.

These things are not clean!

Zhou Lingling didn't know what her mother was thinking. After thinking for a while, she told her mother:

"I picked up... quite a lot."

She felt that her parents still wanted to return to Zhoujia Village because they did not have enough money.

As long as they have enough money, they can buy a house directly in the town and naturally don’t have to go back to Zhoujia Village.

I will protect my parents' sense of security!

As a result, Chen did not show a happy expression as Zhou Lingling expected. Instead, she pulled her to find Zhou Laoer with a worried look on her face.

"Husband, something big has happened!"

Zhou Lingling: “…”

After Zhou Laoer heard what his wife said, he looked at his daughter seriously.

"Daughter, what did you pick up and where did you pick it up?"

"After picking it up, did you feel uncomfortable anywhere? Did you feel like... you were possessed by a ghost?"

Zhou Lingling: "...I just want to ask, what does it feel like to be possessed by a ghost?"

Zhou Laoer frowned, he didn’t know this either!

Never been possessed by a ghost.

He looked at his wife, and Chen also shook her head.

Zhou Lingling was speechless for a moment, and finally understood what her parents were thinking.

She took a deep breath and said, "Dad, Mom, I didn't find it on the grave. I took it out of a box. It doesn't look like a burial object. It looks like someone's hidden treasure..."

Zhou Lingling rummaged through the small pocket that Old Lady Chen had sewn for her and pulled out a handful of silver jewelry.

Bracelets, bangles, earrings, silver hairpins, necklaces...

"Look, these things belong to adults and children. How could they be burial objects?"

Chen stared at the things on the table without blinking.

"Husband, what my daughter said seems to make sense..."

Zhou Laoer stared at his daughter's pocket for a long time.

The second time.

He packed his daughter's small bag himself before leaving this morning, and there was nothing in it...

Thinking of this, Zhou Laoer raised his hand and wiped his face fiercely.

No matter what, she is my daughter!

Zhou Lingling looked at the couple's reactions calmly, and naturally noticed the way her father was staring at her little Doudou, but it didn't matter.

Although she didn't plan to tell them about the space, she believed that even if her parents knew something, they would not hurt her.

and so--

"Mom and Dad, now that we have money, why don't we buy a yard and move out of my grandparents' house as soon as possible, and then send my eldest brother to school."

That night,

Zhou Lingling's words echoed in the minds of Zhou Laoer and his wife countless times.

Buying a house in town, and being able to send my beloved eldest son to school...

This was something the couple had never dared to dream of before, but now it seemed to be within their reach. All they needed was a thought...

Chen put the two silver ingots given by her daughter directly into her arms, and asked her daughter to keep the jewelry.

She lay on the bed with her eyes open. She turned her head to look at her sleeping daughter through the moonlight outside the window, and it took a long time before she fell into a deep sleep.

*

The braised food stall made money yesterday, so Chen and her sister-in-law were full of energy and started washing pig offal at dawn.

When Zhou Lingling got up, only Old Mrs. Chen and her two brothers who had "nothing to do" and could only make fire were left in the yard.

"My dear grandson is awake!"

Old Mrs. Chen came out of the kitchen with a smile on her face, holding a bowl of fragrant egg custard in her hand.

Zhou Lingling was so moved early in the morning that she called out "Grandma" sweetly, which made the old lady very happy.

"Hey, my dear grandson, you must be hungry, come and have some egg custard!"

"Thank you, Grandma~"

The conversation between the grandfather and grandson was so sweet that it gave the two brothers, who were sitting in front of the big pot and muttering, goosebumps.

Zhou Yun even hugged his arms and rubbed them, shouting:

"Sister! Come here quickly, I have something to talk to you about."

Zhou Lingling quickly washed her face, picked up her breakfast and walked over.

"What's wrong, brother?"

As soon as she squatted down, her little cousin came over and took a deep sniff, looking at her with resentful eyes: "It smells so good..."

Other families favor boys over girls, but their family favors girls over boys.

In the morning, they could only eat multi-grain pancakes with the adults. My cousin had either noodles or egg custard every day.

However, despite his resentment, Chen Jiakang was not jealous.

He also liked his little cousin very much, not to mention that his cousin was injured a while ago and almost lost her life.

and--

"Cousin, go get the spoon and I'll give you a bite."

Zhou Lingling said very generously.

Chen Jiakang's eyes lit up, and he stood up and ran to the kitchen without hesitation. After a while, he came out in a mess.

"Hey hey hey! Grandma, please don't hit me..."

"Don't hit me? I'll let you eat your sister's egg custard! You greedy ghost reincarnated..."

Zhou Lingling couldn't help laughing when she saw him being beaten while still holding a wooden spoon in his hand.

Her cousin!

A bit savvy, but not much.

After a lot of commotion, Chen Jiakang finally got to eat his cousin's egg custard as he wished.

Then the two brothers began to talk business with their sister.

"Cousin, what do you think it will take for my aunt and mother to be willing to pay us for our work?"

Wages?

Zhou Lingling raised her eyebrows and deliberately asked, "Cousin, what kind of wages do you want?"

Chen Jiakang's eyes widened: "Of course it's the wages for my cousin and I to keep the fire going!"

Zhou Yun also nodded.

"Yes, the wages for the fire."

Zhou Lingling spread her hands and said, "But you guys also have to light a fire at home, right?"

In the past, at the Zhou family, when Chen cooked, she and her elder and second brothers would help light the fire.

My second cousin often helps my aunt and grandmother to light the fire at home.

Zhou Yun thought about it and felt that what his sister said seemed to make sense...

"How can it be the same!"

Chen Jiakang immediately said, "We used to help light the fire at home so we could cook, but now we're doing business for my aunt and my mother!"

"It only takes a short time to cook, but this will take most of the day, and I have to go to the mountains with my cousin to collect firewood!"

"They had to pay for the pig offal from my grandfather, so there's no reason they shouldn't pay me and my cousin!"
