Mrs. Yuan swallowed nervously and said, “It should be. Let’s dig and see. It’s not here anyway. It’s in this courtyard.”
Boss Yuan spat twice on his palm, took the shovel from his wife’s hand, and started to dig the ground.
Shu Yu narrowed her eyes. So this was the strange part?
She raised her head and made a hand gesture to Daniu. The two of them then sat quietly and watched Boss Yuan digging.
After a long time, Boss Yuan panted twice and said, “Why haven’t we dug it out yet? Is it not here?” “Did we count wrongly? Should we count from the other side?”
“Let’s go there and dig.”
However, after a while, Boss Yuan sat on the ground and frowned. “There’s still nothing. Could you have been cheated? There’s no treasure in this courtyard at all.”
Mrs. Yuan wiped her sweat. “That’s impossible. That person wouldn’t lie to me about what he said before he died, right? He said that he hid it here last year. At that time, we hadn’t split up yet, and this courtyard was still empty. It made sense for him to hide it here. No one would find out.’
The eldest daughter-in-law of the Yuan family had received the news two days ago. At that time, the Yuan family was locked up in the county office.
Although she was resentful, she still had to live. Two days ago, when she went up the mountain to pick up fruits, she met a man who was on the verge of death.
She didn’t know how long this person had been on the mountain. Anyway, he was sloppy and looked a little scary.
He told her that he had a treasure buried in this courtyard. As long as she helped him get it, he would reward her with a lot of money. This treasure was useless to her, but it was very important to him.
But at that time, there were still officials waiting outside the courtyard. Even if Mrs. Yuan wanted to help him, she couldn’t do anything.
Moreover, she felt that since it was a treasure, there was no such thing as being useful or useless to anyone.
At that time, she had the intention to take that treasure for herself.
Therefore, she fooled that person and said that she would go and get it when there was no one else in the official post in two days.
However, that person was already on the verge of death. How could he wait for two days? He died in less than half a day.
Mrs. Yuan was shocked. She was afraid that she would be implicated in this matter. She did not say anything and quickly went down the mountain.
Later, a hunter from the village saw the corpse and quickly reported it to the official who happened to be in the Yuan family’s area.
The officer quickly found out the identity of this person. It seemed that he was someone who had disappeared a year ago.
The eldest daughter-in-law of the Yuan family did not dare to ask much, but she was the only one who knew that the Yuan family had hidden a treasure.
When her man came back last night, she couldn’t wait to tell Boss Yuan about it.
Boss Yuan thought of how his parents had said that they would sever ties with Fourth Brother when he was locked up in the county office. He had this thought. As long as he cut ties with them, he could take back the house. At that time, the treasures hidden in the house would naturally be dug up by him.
Mrs. Yuan refused to believe that she had been deceived. “He’s about to die, and he doesn’t even know me. There’s no benefit in lying to me for no reason.
Let’s continue searching. You rest first, I’ll do it.”
She took the shovel from Boss Yuan and started digging.
After digging for a while, there was nothing, so she went back to the previous place to dig.
After digging for another 15 minutes, her hand suddenly stopped. She said in surprise. “Boss…Boss…I think 1 dug something out..
