Chapter 118: The Mantis Stalks the Cicada, Unaware of the Oriole Behind

Yao Jun and the others went to He Fengshou’s room first. He Fengshou and Madam Qian were sleeping soundly and had no idea that the thieves had already entered the house.

Yao Jun and the others skillfully flipped through the placce. This time, they did not tie him up because He Fengshou was still rather strong and big-sized. He was not as easy to subdue as Old He. They flipped through the room and left after getting some money.

The He family was led by Wang Chunhua and He Fengshou. These rooms probably didn’t have much money. However, although the flies were small, they were still meat!

They went to He Fengnian’s room to take a look. Madam Zhao was not asleep. In a daze, she opened her eyes. When she saw someone rummaging through their room, she screamed.

“Catch the thief!!”

The others in the house were woken up by Madam Zhao’s scream.

Seeing this, Yao Jun and the others hurriedly ran.

In any case, he had already gotten the money. If he didn’t run, would he stay and wait to be beaten up?

Yao Jun and the others ran out of the He Family Village in one go. When they turned around and saw that no one was chasing after them, they heaved a sigh of relief.

Yao Jun squatted on the ground and panted heavily. “S-stop for a while. I really can’t run anymore!”

“Don’t rest. When the people catch up later, if they catch up, the banknotes in our pockets will be gone!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Yao Jun, who was squatting on the ground to rest, immediately rushed out. He was afraid that if he was a second slower, the people from the He Family Village would catch up.

It wasn’t easy for them to reach the Su family village. The few of them decided to return to Yao Jun’s house first because there was no one at his house. It was convenient for them to speak and do things.

Yao Jun pushed open the door, and a faint fragrance assailed his nose. Puzzled, he asked, “Strange, why did the house suddenly smell so good?”

It was already good enough that his house did not stink. Why was there a fragrance today?

The man in the back pushed him into the house. “Why do you care what it smells like? Maybe the air is full of fragrance because we earned some silver.” “Hahaha…” Everyone laughed when they heard this.

Yao Jun did not think too much about it. Perhaps it was really as that person had said. The stench of money had turned into a fragrance.

Just as he sat down, someone said impatiently, “Yao Jun, quickly take out the banknotes and let everyone take a look.”

After living for so long, this was the first time they had encountered banknotes. Their lives were really worth it!

Although Yao Jun was unhappy, he could only take out the banknotes. He knew that he could not monopolize this sum of money.

He began to regret it in his heart. If he had known that things would go so smoothly, he would have acted alone. Then the hundred taels of silver would have been his!

It was too late now. It was useless to say anything!

“Let me see the banknotes.” The person took the banknotes from Yao Jun’s

hand.

“Oh my god, I’m afraid I won’t be able to sleep tonight!”

“So banknotes look like this. This is the first time I’ve seenthis in my life!”

The few of them took the banknotes and kissed them again and again. They planned to exchange the banknotes tomorrow. The four of them would split them equally and take 25 taels each. The remaining silver would be used to drink.

Yao Jun had even forgotten Su Li’s words. However, even if he remembered, he would not give so much money to Su Li. At most, he would give her one tael in exchange for an antidote. As for the rest? She could forget about it!

Yao Jun and the others were happily dreaming when they suddenly felt dizzy. Their heads nodded like chickens chasing rice.

“Why are you upside down?” “You’re upside down too!”

“Aiyo, why am I so dizzy!”

After a while, Yao Jun and the others fell to the ground.

A pair of pink embroidered shoes walked in first, followed by a pair of black shoes.

Su Ze said excitedly, “Sister, they’re all down.”

Fortunately, her sister was smart enough to light a bewitching incense in Yao Jun’s house in advance. As long as they came in, they would not be able to leave.

Su Li looked at the fallen people and smiled. She walked over calmly and reached out two fingers to pick up the banknotes. She did not let go of the remaining silver.

She stuffed 100 taels of silver into Su Ze’s hand. “I heard from Mother that it’s your birthday in a few days. This is my gift to you.”

“Huh?!” Su Ze was dumbfounded.

What did his sister say just now?

This 100 taels was a birthday gift for him?!

Su Ze quickly rejected her. “Sister, I can’t take this. This is you and

Brother-in-law’s money.”

If not for his brother-in-law hunting desperately, would the people in the old residence have so much money?

Moreover, he had also heard that his brother-in-law was believed to have died on the battlefield at that time. The Imperial Court had given the He family a sum of money, but they had never returned it to his brother-in-law. Presumably, there was that money inside.

This was his brother-in-law’s hard-earned money. He could not take it!

She had earned some money from selling soap, and she had also earned some money from treating illnesses, so she was not short of money to spend at the moment. It did not matter to her if she gave this money to Su Ze.

Moreover, Su Ze hadn’t been engaged at his age and most of the reason was because of the original Host.

Su Ze stood in front of Su Li and stuffed the banknotes into her hands. “I can’t take this money. If you insist on giving it to me, you’re not treating me as your brother.”

Su Li looked up at him. “You really don’t want it?”

Su Ze nodded vigorously. “I really don’t want it!”

Su Li saw that he was serious and didn’t look like he was lying. She sighed. She had seen people who were greedy for money, but she had never seen anyone push money out. Since he didn’t want it, she wouldn’t force him.

“Alright, I’ll keep it first.” Su Li pocketed the banknotes.

A smile finally appeared on Su Ze’s originally serious face. “Sister, keep it. These are yours to begin with.”

Those people in the He family’s old residence did not have the ability to earn so much money. If not for his brother-in-law, they would have died!

Su Ze didn’t have a good impression of the people in the old residence at all. Now that they had been dealt with, he wished he could beat gongs and drums and set off firecrackers to celebrate.

Su Li handed the remaining silver to Su Ze. “You have to take these, right?”

Compared to the 100 taels of silver, these pieces of silver were not much. There were a total of two taels of silver.

Su Ze thought about it and accepted them. He grinned at Su Li. “Thank you, Sister.”

Su Li also smiled. “We’re family. Why are you thanking me!”

“Sister, what should we do with these people?” Su Ze asked.

Su Li glanced at the people lying on the ground. “Don’t worry about them. Let them lie here.”

In any case, she had already achieved her goal. There was no need to care about these people.

Jiao Yuying got up to go to the toilet. Coincidentally, Su Li and Su Ze entered the courtyard. She asked curiously, “What are you siblings doing in the middle of the night?”

The siblings looked at each other, and their minds began to work rapidly. What excuse did they use to muddle through?

They couldn’t possibly say that the moon was really beautiful tonight, so they agreed to go for a run, right?

Su Li pointed at Su Ze and said, “He sleepwalked. I was afraid that something would happen to him, so I followed him out to take a look.”

Su Ze was speechless.

When did he sleepwalk? Did his sister have to sabotage her brother like this?!

Jiao Yuying glanced at Su Ze and said, “Since when did you have the problem of sleepwalking?”
