In ancient times, I made a fortune by copying my family

Chapter 34

Ling Chu's words made Zhou Wu's mouth twitch.

Even the movements of Steward Lu and Hu Batian pawing and pulling the golden leaves couldn't help but pause.

Ling Chu looked at them innocently, "Don't you guys smell something?"

Steward Lu sniffled and hesitated for a while before saying, "It seems to smell like roast chicken?"

Hu Batian said angrily, "What a Liu Dongluo, if he lost all his money, how could he still be able to afford roast chicken?"

Hu Batian, who was furious, followed the smell of roast chicken all the way to find it, and soon stopped by the stove.

Looking down at the pile of chicken bones on the ground, Hu Batian kicked his foot, becoming even more angry.

"That bitch Liu Dongluo really ate roast chicken."

Even Zhou Wu couldn't stand the ruthlessness towards Liu Dongluo, "Then Liu Dong's family is really not a thing. They secretly hide the gold leaves and have money to buy roast chicken, but they have to use their wives and daughters to pay off the debt."

Ling Chu on the side didn't speak, but he agreed with what the two said.

Liu Dongluo's thing is really not a thing.

Hu Batian looked at the pile of chicken bones and suddenly felt hungry, cursed a few words, and turned his head to leave the stove.

Ling Chu suddenly pointed to the inside of the stove and said, "Hey, there seems to be something buried in the ashes in the stove, could it be...roasted sweet potatoes?"

Hu Batian paused, turned his head and looked into the stove along Ling Chu's fingers, the ashes in the stove bulged slightly, and it looked like something was buried there.

Ling Chu took a branch out of the woodpile, squatted at the mouth of the stove, and used the branch to scrape in the ashes a few times.

Hu Batian touched his gurgling stomach and asked, "Is it roasted sweet potatoes?"

Steward Lu pulled out the gold leaves hidden in the salt jar and tidied them up, and then walked over, "I'm just hungry, so dig out the sweet potatoes and fill my stomach first."

Ling Chu's pawing paused, the corners of his mouth twitched, he didn't say anything, and silently dug again with a branch.

Hu Batian and Lu Guanshi were waiting at the side, ready to enjoy the delicious roasted sweet potatoes.

Unexpectedly, under the gaze of four pairs of eyes, what was dug out was not a fragrant roasted sweet potato, but a yellowish paper bag.

Several people were stunned at the same time.

"what is this?"

Ling Chu put down the branch, took out the paper bag, and shook off the ashes from the stove.

Hu Batian reached out to take it, and found that it was an oiled paper bag.

After opening it, I found that there was a contract in the oiled paper bag.

Hu Batian is nothing but a domineering bully, but he doesn't know many big characters.

He didn't know many words on the contract, so he had to pass the contract to Steward Lu.

Steward Lu read all the ten lines at a glance, with a gloomy face, "Liu Dongluo actually sold his own restaurant."

Hu Batian and Zhou Wu were surprised when they heard the words, they didn't expect that this was actually a business contract for a restaurant.

Although Ling Chu's face was also surprised, she had already known it from the system's scan.

"Although Liu Dongluo's restaurant is not big, the business is still good. Although there are not many customers recently, it is a pity that he just sold it like this?"

Hu Batian was puzzled, but as the second steward of Changle Fang, Steward Lu knew more.

He probably guessed Liu Dongluo's plan.

"Search quickly and find the silver."

Ling Chu frowned slightly, why did she feel that Steward Lu's attitude suddenly became anxious.

Hu Batian also noticed, "Guard Lu, is something wrong?"

Manager Lu sneered, "Then Liu Dongluo sold the restaurant without telling everyone. He intends to take the silver and sneak away to pay off our debts."

Hu Batian suddenly realized, "Liu Dongluo is really courageous."

Liu Dongluo didn't know that his intention to sneak away had been exposed. Seeing that Steward Lu and the others were going in the direction of the kitchen, he was already uneasy.

Seeing that they hadn't come back for such a long time, the anxiety in his heart became more and more intense, and he wanted to take a look in the kitchen several times.

But Hu Batian's two followers stared at him tightly, and he had no way to get rid of them.

Liu Dongluo winked at Geshi, wanting her to stop Hu Batian and the others.

But Ge Shi was unmoved by his hint, and pulled his daughter to stand aside silently.

Not to mention that she didn't dare to trouble Hu Batian and Steward Lu, even if she had the guts, she wouldn't stop her.

Ge Shi even hoped that Miss Ling could find out the money, after all, if she didn't pay off the debt, there would be no way for her and her daughter to survive.

Used by her husband to pay off debts, and thrown into a fire pit, she and her daughter would live a life worse than death.

It would be fine if she was herself, but her daughter is still young, how could she just watch her being destroyed.

Liu Dongluo was anxious and angry in his heart, he never thought that Ge Shi, who was always submissive and obedient, would dare not listen to him.

In the kitchen, Manager Lu's attitude towards Ling Chu was much gentler.

Although he felt that the discovery of the gold leaf and the contract was a bit of a coincidence, if it wasn't for Miss Ling, they really wouldn't have discovered it.

After all, no one would have guessed that the gold leaf would be hidden in the salt shaker, let alone check to see if there was something hidden in the ashes.

"Miss Ling, the gold leaf is not enough to pay off Liu Dongluo's debt. If you want to save Ge Shi and her daughter, this amount of money is not enough."

"Don't worry, Manager Lu. I'll use hexagrams to calculate and see where the Liu family still has Tibetan silver."

Seeing that she was so obedient, Manager Lu felt satisfied.

The system has already scanned out the Tibetan silver, so Ling Chu doesn't need to use hexagrams to calculate it.

However, in order to prevent Steward Lu and the others from becoming suspicious, she still took out the tortoise shell and copper coins from the kit, and pretended to start calculating.

Looking at the copper coins scattered on the table, he found that he couldn't understand the hexagrams at all.

Steward Lu had no choice but to ask Ling Chu, "How, but did you figure it out?"

Ling Chu frowned, and spoke nonsense seriously to the hexagram, "According to the hexagram, the silver should still be in the kitchen."

Hu Batian, "In the kitchen? Then look for it quickly."

Ling Chu put away the copper coins and tortoise shells, and rummaged through the kitchen with Zhou Wu.

With Steward Lu present, Hu Batian didn't stand by and rolled up his sleeves, and followed to search.

In order to make a good impression in front of Steward Lu, Hu Batian searched very hard, and soon he was tired and sweating profusely.

"I've searched for everything in this kitchen, and there is no money at all. Miss Ling, did you make a mistake?"

Ling Chu stopped, took out a handkerchief from his sleeve pocket, and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

It's almost installed, it should be enough.

Ling Chu suddenly pointed to a pile of firewood in the corner of the kitchen and said, "Hey, it seems that the firewood pile over there hasn't been found yet?"

I really haven't found it.

The small pile of firewood was not much, and it was piled sparsely in the corner, and it didn't look like something was hidden through the gaps between the firewood branches.

Hu Batian frowned, "It's just a few firewood, what's there to find."

Steward Lu looked at it, but he didn't refute Hu Batian's words.

But Ling Chu walked over and pulled up the pile of firewood with his feet.

Zhou Wu didn't speak, walked over silently, bent down and moved the firewood away.

He doesn't talk much about martial arts this week, but he is a good hand at work.

Ling Chu withdrew his appreciative gaze, suddenly pointed to the ground under the firewood pile and said in surprise, "Hey, what is this?"

　Today is the last day of this round of PK, friends, go ahead...

　　Hurry up and cast the votes in your hands, whether you can advance or not depends on you!
