Chapter 226 The Secret of the Two Sisters
"Hehe~ Grandpa Tai, think about it, we were sleeping soundly and you woke us all up. Look, everything in the room was broken by you. You have to compensate us." Zhao Shiying said.
"Well, okay, how much should I compensate you?" Mr. Tai said with a bit of pain in his heart.
"You have to pay one tael of silver per person, right? Three taels in total?" Zhao Shiying looked at Zhao Shihui and Zhao Shisheng, waiting for their reply.
"We'll listen to my little sister." Zhao Shihui nodded first.
"Yes, I'll listen to you, little sister." Zhao Shisheng also nodded in agreement.
"Grandpa Tai, give me the money." Zhao Shiying smiled and looked at Grandpa Tai.
"Why give me money? Isn't all my money with you? Please help me keep it safe." Old Master Tai rolled his eyes.
"Oh, yes, then these three taels of silver are ours, not yours. Big brother, second brother, is it okay to keep this money with me?" Zhao Shiying asked with a smile.
"Of course no problem, give it to my little sister as pocket money." Zhao Shihui is a non-calculating and generous person.
"Okay, then I'll accept it with pleasure." Zhao Shiying grinned, and then looked at Zhao Shisheng.
"I've given mine to my younger sister, too." Zhao Shisheng was a little helpless. His silly brother was tricked by his clever younger sister, who also dragged him, the older brother, into a trap. He had to pay for the things in the room with his own money, which was a huge loss.
"Okay, thank you big brother, thank you second brother, then you guys go to bed quickly, I want to go back and catch up on my sleep, I'm so sleepy." Zhao Shiying smiled and turned to leave.
Very good, she doesn’t have to pay the three taels of silver, it directly becomes her little piggy bank.
Hehe~~~~If only there were a few more night raids like this, she could make a fortune from this.
The three people left behind, Zhao Shisheng, Zhao Shihui and Old Man Tai, were stunned and looked at each other.
"You two just gave her the money like that?" Mr. Tai stared, unwilling to accept it.
If the silver was in the hands of these two guys, he could still trick them into giving it back. But now that it's been taken away by these cunning little guys, there's no way he can get a single penny back.
"If I don't give it to my little sister, how can I give it to you?" After saying that, Zhao Shihui climbed onto the kang and went to sleep.
"Grandpa Tai, how about you stay in our room for one night? It's okay for three of us to sleep on one kang." Zhao Shisheng said very politely.
"Sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep your head, I won't be able to sleep at night." After saying this, Mr. Tai left in a miserable state.
What a bullshit night attack! He must not run into that mischievous girl Xiaobutian again next time, otherwise he will bleed heavily again.
When everything finally quieted down, everyone went to bed.
Early the next morning.
The first breakfast after everyone got up was actually mutton-stuffed buns, served with chopped onions and minced ginger, which was really delicious.
Even Zhao Shiying ate one and was so full that she couldn't walk.
"Little sister, stay at home and be good. We are going to your grandparents' house today. School has started and you have to go to class today. We will come back to play with you when we have a day off." Zhao Shihui was quite considerate. After he said that, he picked up his schoolbag and prepared to go out.
"Ah? Are you leaving today?" Zhao Shiying didn't know her two brothers were leaving today. If she had known, she would have made arrangements in advance and followed them to Wangjia Village today.
"Yes, I forgot to tell you yesterday. It was mainly because I practiced martial arts too late and was extremely tired." Zhao Shisheng nodded.
His stuff is ready.
The books have also been packed up. The things that were lost last night can only be replaced later. As for the tables and chairs, my parents will definitely have someone put them away.
"Okay, then you have to think about me." Zhao Shiying pouted and looked unhappy.
"Of course I'll miss you." Zhao Shihui nodded.
Zhao Shisheng also nodded and touched his little sister's head. He felt a little reluctant to leave. After the New Year, he was even more reluctant to leave home.
But they will have the next exam in about two months, so he can't be careless. He must pass it in one try, otherwise he will have to wait another year.
Zhao Guocheng had already prepared an ox cart in the yard. Qin Hai would take the two of them there today. Zhao Guocheng had nothing to worry about, because these kids were more powerful than them and all had martial arts skills. He was also afraid that someone would be so blind as to provoke these little ancestors. Once they got angry, they would just move the person's head or cripple him.
Zhao Shiying reluctantly said goodbye to her brothers at the door with tears in her eyes.
"Okay, little sister, come on, I'll take you to get something." Zhao Shimin saw that her little sister was really sad, so she immediately stepped forward to help her.
Zhao Shiying looked at Zhao Shimin with tears in her eyes, then nodded and followed Zhao Shimin.
Zhao Shimin took her younger sister to the room.
"Little sister, come on, I found a secret and I'll show it to you." Zhao Shimin grinned.
"What is that?" Zhao Shiying leaned forward in confusion.
"A big pit?" Zhao Shiying blinked her eyes, not quite understanding why her elder sister brought her to see the big pit.
"You forgot that we have a cellar at home, but my parents won't let us go in. Do you think this is the cellar?" Zhao Shimin asked.
"That's different." Zhao Shiying shook her head. She wasn't sure.
"Why don't we try digging it up?" Zhao Shimin suggested.
In fact, she just asked her younger sister for help. If her younger sister asked her to dig, then not only would she not have to do it herself, she would also not have to be scolded. If her younger sister wanted to dig, her parents would never say anything to her.
They say curiosity kills the cat. She was a little hesitant to try digging by herself, but she was curious whether there was a cellar underneath. If not, then it would be fun to dig a small secret passage that could accommodate one person and lead directly to the back mountain.
Zhao Shimin told Zhao Shiying about this idea. Zhao Shiying thought about it for a moment, wiped her tears, and said that she had something to do. Why bother thinking about her brother? She could just do it.
"Sister, let's go find some tools and do it quietly. There is another room next to yours, and behind it is a wall. We have to dig deeper." Zhao Shiying said.
"Okay, let's go, the two of us together." Zhao Shimin said with a smile, finally finding an ally.
At this time, Zhao Guocheng arranged for Chen Dadong to go to the rice fields to collect fertilizer and raise seedlings.
After getting the tools, the two started working.
"By the way, where should we throw this soil?" Zhao Shimin asked with a frown.
"This is easy. I'll just ask Grandpa Tai to help us transport the soil out." Zhao Shiying felt that it was her parents who should be kept secret, not the rest of the family. So for the sake of her own back, she planned to keep it a secret from her parents. As long as the rest of the family knew, it would be fine as long as they didn't tell anyone.
"Okay, I'll start digging now. You go call Grandpa Tai, and we'll have more labor." Zhao Shimin said.
"Oh, you're right, I'll go then." Zhao Shiying nodded.
Zhao Shimin was digging with great effort, and when Zhao Shiying came, old man Tai glared at her.
"Why did you call me here?" Mr. Tai asked puzzledly.
"Digging and transporting soil." Zhao Shiying said as a matter of course.
Old Master Tai: “….” It’s really a waste of love for this little girl, just let her do the hard work.
"Grandpa Tai, this is a secret between my sister and me. You are the third person to know it. You can't tell anyone. Let's dig a secret passage so that we can go out and play in the future. Think about it, if this secret passage leads directly to the back mountain or the village entrance, we can escape even if we encounter wolves in the future." Zhao Shiying said.
