Looking at the figure disappearing in the melon field, Mr. Xiao Er wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "Brother."
"go back."
Mr. Xiao has a deeper understanding of the martial arts of his grandniece. It is easy for an unfathomable master to make them disappear without a trace.
After returning to his residence, there was a long silence before Mr. Xiao asked, "Second brother, are we really giving up like this?"
Master Xiao Er asked, "Does the eldest brother really dare to call the police?"
Mr. Xiao growled, "But I'm not willing to give in. Half of the family property is more than what you and I put together."
The eldest brother is unwilling to give in, so how can Mr. Xiao be willing to do so.
However, "Brother also saw that the small secret rooms were completely filled with sediment that had settled over the years, and there were tree roots extending into them, indicating that the boxes were long gone."
"In the past few decades, the residents of the courtyard house have changed a lot. Who knows who took them away."
"Who knows if they were taken away as soon as we left the country. After all, dad hired help."
These are the reasons why Mr. Xiao vomited blood after discovering that the eight small chambers he dug out were all filled with sand and tiny roots.
This was also the reason why the house later collapsed.
Because he didn't believe it, the property he had been looking forward to day and night was gone.
He dug along the secret room throughout the courtyard with a glimmer of hope. He hoped that changes had occurred underground in the past few decades and that the box had been squeezed elsewhere.
Who knew that the underground of the yard was full of densely packed tiny roots.
Unwilling to give in, he dug underground the house again. He thought that digging out one room and filling in another would have no impact on the courtyard.
Who knew that the soil mixed with roots would not be compacted at all, and all the houses would collapse after a moderate rain.
If it hadn't collapsed during the day, their lives would have been lost.
"I'm not willing to give in!"
Mr. Xiao slapped the table, "The third child looks like this, he doesn't know anything about his mother's dowry."
"Xu Ma's clues are not reliable at all. Leaving her with the third child for so many years has only taught Weiwei a bad lesson."
"Not a single thing was done, and even the third child was in good health, and she only found out."
"But that dead girl Jingjing has taken control of everything around the third child."
"You said it wrong."
A cold voice sounded, and a figure fell from the roof.
Mr. Xiao gritted his teeth and looked at Tian Jing holding a baby in the courtyard.
"You? Are you eavesdropping again? How much did you hear?"
"No more, no more."
Tian Jing shook her head, "I only heard about the family property, the box and the small secret room, and Xu Ma's mission."
"No wonder I want 60,000 yuan and you are willing to buy that courtyard house?"
"Originally, I planned to leave after hearing this. After all, eavesdropping is not what a gentleman would do."
"Who knew I heard you talking about Ma Xu again? Actually, I have a clue that may be useful to you."
Mr. Xiao Er asked anxiously, "What clue?"
Tian Jing remained silent.
Mr. Xiao glared at his second brother, who was always so anxious. He looked at Tian Jing who was silent and asked, "How much do you want?"
Who knew that Tian Jing shook his head, "I'm not sure if this clue is useful."
"It's just a guess from Xu Ma and Xiao Shuyuan, so I give it to you for free without any money."
Master Xiao was embarrassed, "Then you didn't say anything just now?"
"I was wondering where to start. Who knew you were more anxious than Mr. Xiao Er?"
Tian Jing's words made Mr. Xiao almost spit out his blood, "Have you thought about it?"
"I've thought about it."
Tian Jing nodded, "Listen carefully, I will only say it once."
Seeing that the four masters of the Xiao family in the room all pricked up their ears, Tian Jing spoke slowly.
"Don't forget, there is someone in charge when Ma Xu delivers the news."
"She told me that she always passes the news to a person named Guo Xiaofeng."
"And I know a person named Guo Xiaoli. I don't know if they are the same family."
"This Guo Xiaoli is Chen Yaoming, the current wife of the Chen family who gave birth to me with Xiao Wei."
"Another suspicious point is that Xiao Shuyuan said that Chen Yaoming's cousin Chen Yaoshi had been to the Xiao family residence."
"And the child in Xiao Wei's belly is Chen Yaoshi's. Isn't it chaotic?"
"Haha, it was you who taught her bad things, and it was your Xiao family who lost face."
"As long as you and the Chen family don't provoke me, I don't care."
"Okay, here are the clues I thought would be useful to you from the confessions of Xu Ma and Xiao Shuyuan based on your conversation."
"As for the authenticity, you need to verify it."
The sound fell, Tian Jing's figure flashed, and no one was seen in the courtyard again.
All that was left was the little child's giggle.
Tian Jing was in a very happy mood and finally brought the two families together.
It was no wonder that she wasted her energy paying attention to them every day, and even planted plants under the wall outside Li Aiguo's yard to eavesdrop.
A cart of watermelons has been shipped away.
Li Zhengguo took his two sons home and asked, "Daughter-in-law, have you forgotten anything?"
Tian Jing was confused, "What did you forget?"
Li Zhengguo raised his left and right arms and said, "Your son."
Tian Jing slapped her forehead and said, "Oh, look at my memory. I'm sorry, sons. There have been a lot of things lately, and my mother has to pay attention to a lot of people and things. I can't keep up with my energy. Please forgive me for once."
Haohao and Xiaobo "..."
They waited for their mother in the melon shed for a long time, but when they didn't see her come back, they knew she had forgotten them.
If their mother hadn't told them to wait, they could have gone home on their own, so close.
"Okay, we forgive mom."
"Good son."
Tian Jing lowered her head and kissed each of her two sons.
"Well, it smells like watermelon. You guys should wash your faces quickly."
When the father and son came back after washing their faces and hands, Li Zhengguo asked his wife what happy thing happened to her. The good mood was too obvious.
Tian Jing pursed her lips and smiled, "I'll tell you tonight, be careful that the walls have ears."
…
At night, when the children were asleep and Li Zhengguo had a delicious meal, his wife told him in his ear how she deceived Master Xiao and Master Xiao.
Li Zhengguo turned over and covered the delicate body in his arms. He wanted to use his own body to express his love for his wife's cunning and cunning.
…
The villagers are busy with the autumn harvest, and the Li family is busy selling melons.
Grandpa Xiao looked at his granddaughter counting the money from selling watermelons, and was stunned for a while.
"How much money do you make?"
"Of course, this is called a cash crop. Why do the villagers dare to plant watermelons on their own when I am not at home in the spring?"
"Just after they tasted the sweetness of watermelon, they earned hundreds of dollars and bought all the land they should buy for their families."
"But they still want to be greedy, which makes the mayor's heart go cold. The mayor won't let me pull them away anymore."
"Because he understands the greed of human nature. Even if I bring them prosperity together, how can the mayor deal with the common prosperity of other villages?"
"Could it be that they all rely on me to raise them? Once they leave me, they will no longer be able to survive. How long will I be responsible for them?"
"If you make a profit, you can praise me a few times at most. If you lose, you can bring up eight generations of my ancestors and scold me."
Grandpa Xiao understood what his granddaughter meant. Watermelons from sixty acres of land cost ten to twenty thousand per season.
It's so easy to get it, it's weird. It's not a good thing.
"Whatever, I don't understand this, but I know that mud can't hold up a wall."
