Quick Wear: Reversing Life

Chapter 233: Escape from the Mountains (14)

The grass stared blankly at the beautiful green color, which was out of tune with the gray yard.

Perhaps it was the baptism of rain some time ago, or perhaps it was the tenacity of life, it sprouted, broke through the soil, and grew towards the sun.

Xiaocao called Xiaohua over and said, "Look, this is where I buried the peach pit last time."

The little flower was delighted: "It's sprouted!"

"From now on, President, Daishu!"

Xiaocao also found it incredible.

In this land full of sin, the purest life is born, and these lives will nourish the sinners on the land.

Xiaohua couldn't let go of these tiny tender sprouts and would go to check on them every once in a while.

After a while, Li Yougen came back, holding his hands in his trouser pockets and humming a song as he jumped into the yard.

Seeing Xiaohua, he smiled maliciously and said, "Are you still here? Didn't Dad sell you? What are you still doing here? Hurry and go to your new home."

Xiaocao came out of the kitchen and said rudely, "If you don't shut your stinky mouth, I'll tear it apart!"

"How dare you scold me! You loser!" Li Yougen jumped up and yelled, "Dad! Dad! You loser scolded me! Dad!"

Li Yuliang's voice echoed from the house: "Stop making so much noise, you two! You two scumbags, I'll sell you off tomorrow!"

Li Yougen stuck out his tongue with a grin: "Lululu~ Sell both of you!"

Xiaocao was too lazy to pay attention to a shameless idiot like Li Yougen. She turned around and went into the kitchen to scoop a spoonful of boiling water and was about to pour it on Li Yougen.

Seeing this, Li Yougen was so scared that he quickly ran into the house.

...

After washing up, Xiaocao returned to the house, lit the candles, and began to count the money she had saved.

In just half a month, I didn't save much, only 116 yuan in total.

Xiaocao counted the money and put it back where it belonged.

Xiaocao didn't know how much the bus ticket to the county town cost, but this amount of money was definitely not enough. Unfortunately, the village was too poor and there was no way to make much money.

The day of leaving was not far away, and she had to find a way to get some money.

The day after tomorrow, which is the last day of this month, is the day she has set.

At that time, every household was busy harvesting wheat and slept soundly at night.

The village chief's oxcart is provided to the villagers to transport grain, so it is always kept outside the door.

All I have to do is get Aunt Hua's cow out the day after tomorrow. Aunt Hua's cow is the only one in the village that is familiar with her. It doesn't make any noises and can understand her instructions.

...

In the middle of the night, Xiaocao quietly got up. She decided to go to Li Yuliang's room to search whether he had hidden any money.

During this period, Xiaocao was busy saving money and had not found a suitable opportunity to search Li Yuliang's room.

The weather was hot, so Li Yuliang and Li Yougen didn't close the door when they slept.

Xiaocao stood quietly at the doorstep, listening to the snoring sounds coming from both sides of the room. After making sure that the two people were fast asleep, she walked into their room.

With the faint moonlight, Xiaocao could barely see the furnishings in the house.

In the center of the room was Li Yuliang's bed. The two of them were lying on the bed, snoring loudly, and Li Yuliang's snoring was deafening.

There is a square wooden table under the windowsill without drawers, and other than that there is a cabinet beside the bed.

The cabinet was not locked, and one of the doors was even open, leaning to one side as if it couldn't be closed.

The messy clothes and bedding inside leaked out.

The original owner and his sister Xiaohua definitely didn't dare to enter his house, but Li Yuliang knew that his son had a habit of stealing, so if he had valuables, he would never put them in a cabinet or other common place to hide things.

It must be hidden in some very secluded place.

The only thing in the whole room besides the table and bed is this cabinet.

Could it be that it is hiding in the gap between the cabinet and the wall like the original owner?

As he got closer to the cabinet, the originally faint moonlight became completely invisible. Xiaocao felt the gap little by little with his hands.

Nothing.

Xiaocao touched the bottom of the cabinet again.

Because the floor was a dirt floor with many uneven lumps of earth, I sure enough felt something made of plastic in the gap between the cabinet and the lumps of earth.

Xiaocao carefully pulled out the package bit by bit. Without any lighting, she touched the paper and round coins.

When I got closer and smelled it, I could indeed smell the unique coppery smell of paper money.

Xiaocao was delighted and subconsciously looked towards the bed.

There was no change in the two snoring sounds. Xiaocao waited for a few seconds, then quietly left the room.

After returning to the room, Xiaocao carefully locked the door, then walked to the window and counted the money in the plastic bag in the moonlight.

It’s actually 673.2 yuan!

Li Yuliang doesn't do farm work and drinks all day long. He also owes 20 yuan to the little monkey's grocery store. Where does he get so much money?

Were his ancestors really landlords?

-

The next morning, the two people in the house opposite were still sleeping soundly. Xiaocao cooked breakfast and went to Aunt Hua's house next door after eating.

"Auntie, can I pick up your cows these two nights? I'm helping someone harvest wheat these two days, so I'll use them at night so it won't interfere with your family's business."

Aunt Hua was very straightforward: "Okay."

Her husband Wang Mu heard it from behind and looked a little unhappy. He already disliked Li Yuliang's family, so it was really disgusting to lend a cow to his family!

"Then don't lock the door to your yard at night. I'll bring the cow back to you."

Aunt Hua nodded: "Okay."

That night, as soon as Aunt Hua lay down on the bed, she heard the sounds of grass and cows in the yard.

Through the window, I saw Xiaocao sending the cow into the cowshed.

Aunt Hua said to her husband lying beside her, "See, Cao Ni'er is very sensible. What's wrong with borrowing a cow? It won't interfere with our family's affairs."

Aunt Hua's husband turned over and said, "Alright, alright, I've already borrowed the money. What's there to say? Go to sleep. You've been tired all day."

Aunt Hua curled her lips and pulled the rope beside the bed to turn off the light.

...

In the middle of the night, Li Yuliang's voice, like a pig being butchered, came from next door: "Where's my money?"

Xiaocao's eyes opened instantly.

After a while, there were clanging sounds outside the house, and soon Li Yuliang came to bang on the door: "Open the door! Damn it! Did you two bitches steal my money?!"

Xiaocao frowned, turned around and woke Xiaohua up, saying to her, "Xiaohua, remember! No matter what happens next, don't scream!"

Xiaohua was sleepy and didn't understand what was going on, so she nodded.

She opened the door and, in the moonlight outside the window, saw Li Yuliang holding a sickle in his hand and glaring at Xiaocao angrily, his eyes almost popping out.

He immediately grabbed the sickle and pointed it at the grass.

"Did you take my money?"

Xiaocao pretended to be innocent: "I didn't!"

Li Yuliang looked at Xiaohua and said, "That's you, you bastard!"

When Xiaohua saw the sickle reflecting the light, she was immediately frightened awake and hid in the woman's arms.

Li Yuliang narrowed his eyes and saw the woman sleeping on the bed. He became even more furious and raised his sickle to swing at the woman on the bed.

"It's the other way around!"

"And you dare bring it to bed!"

Xiaocao immediately grabbed his arm.

"Damn it, you three bastards! I'm going to beat you to death! Who stole my money?!"

Xiaocao said: "We have never been to your room!"

Li Yuliang immediately turned around and looked at Li Yougen.

Li Yougen panicked. He had only stolen once before, but he couldn't find where his father hid the money after that!

Li Yougen stood in the corner of the room, pointing at the woman on the bed and said, "It was my mother who stole it! It was my mother who stole it! My mother is rich!"

Xiaocao looked at Li Yougen.

He still remembers the incident with maltose! ?
