Back to 80s, pretend to be in debt and get out of the misery

Chu Xuan put down the thick rolling pin in his hand and took the stack of money with curiosity in his eyes, "Tell me quickly, how did you earn it?"

Mu Chenze raised the corners of his mouth and pointed to the courtyard door, "I'll go and open the door first."

He kept the thick rolling pin in his hand and walked towards the courtyard door with it.

When I walked to the door of the courtyard, I suddenly remembered that Aunt Li borrowed a shovel. "Daughter-in-law, have you returned the shovel that the Li family borrowed?"

If you don't return it, you can't open the door, otherwise you will have to come back and open the door again later.

Chu Xuan responded softly, "I returned it around five o'clock in the afternoon. Aunt Li always means what she says."

"That's good."

Mu Chenze quickly closed the courtyard door.

Returning to his wife, he looked proud and said, "Brother Lin and I bought a truckload of New Year's goods from the city and sold half of them at the county fair. Brother Lin's family helped sell the other half. We earned a net profit of 1630 yuan. , Brother Lin and I each share 815 yuan, giving you 800 yuan, and I will keep 15 yuan as pocket money. Don’t tell my mother about this."

Chu Xuan gave a thumbs up, "My husband is really business-minded. But it's best to tell my mother about this."

"We are responsible for our own profits and losses, do we still need to tell mother?"

"Of course, what would my mother think if she learned from someone else that you and Brother Lin were doing business together? What would my eldest brother and sister-in-law think? Also, you'd better ask your eldest brother if you want to invest in this business."

"I'll talk to my mother tomorrow. In fact, I asked my eldest brother privately if he wanted to invest in selling New Year's goods. He said he was too busy. After delivering the goods every day, he had to go to my father-in-law's house to help make fried goods. It's a busy time of the year to earn some money. "

Chu Xuan slapped his head and almost forgot that in his previous life, the Fu family would make fried food at this time every year, and the eldest brother and sister-in-law would go to help and earn wages on the way.

Chu Xuan didn't pay much attention to her sister-in-law's previous statement that no matter how busy she was, she would go to her parents' house to help.

Every day, the eldest brother and sister-in-law are busier than she and Chen Ze.

I was supposed to go to the cram school to take the exam tonight. Most of the students in the cram school in the evening had jobs. They were rushing to produce as the new year was approaching. Too many students asked for leave due to overtime work. The teacher of the cram school called the village office in advance to inform them. The cram school is suspended and the exam will resume after the year.

As a result, Mu Chenze and his wife have more time to make meat floss and dig holes in the cement floor.

After pounding this batch of cooked meat, it will be around ten o'clock in the evening, when no one will pass by and you can pound the cement floor.

Tomorrow, during the day, we will use blankets, paper and meat floss to cover the damaged ground. We will also inform Chu Dashan to climb over the wall to stay overnight tomorrow night, and then climb out again near dawn. He will perform a full set of acting.

Of course, after digging out the gold bars, a batch of fake gold bars had to be made for Chu Dashan to give to the man behind the scenes.

Chu Xuan was a little confused when he thought of making fake gold bars.

Mu Chenze seemed to see what his wife was thinking, "Xiaoxuan, don't worry about the fake gold bars. I have a solution."

Chu Xuan hugged him gently, "Ze, I find that you really understand me."

Kiss him on the cheek.

What Mu Chenze can't stand the most is his wife taking the initiative.

At such a young age, the sky is falling and I have to ask for welfare.

The bedding and sheets here are all clean. I will stay here tonight. I have burned the kang in advance and there is hot water in the kitchen...

Two hours later, Chu Xuan fell asleep from exhaustion.

Mu Chenze got up and went to the yard to smash the cement floor.

Tools have been prepared, including hammers, pickaxes and the like.

The banging sound did not wake Chu Xuan.

After more than three hours, he really found something.

It's a big old wooden box.

Opening the lid revealed a box wrapped in oil paper. Mu Chenze opened the oil paper package and saw a cowhide box with a password.

Picked up the pickaxe and tried to break the combination lock.

Suddenly he remembered some cases that Min Yi told him before, and immediately gave up the idea.

If the password lock is broken and explodes, life will be in danger.

Mu Chenze cleaned the outside of the box, then carried the box into the bedroom and woke Chu Xuan up.

As soon as Chu Xuan opened his eyes, he saw the cowhide box on the ground.

He asked vaguely, "Ze, when did our family have such a box?"

The corners of Mu Chenze's mouth showed a nice curve, "I worked hard to dig it out and then brushed it clean. Am I good?"

Chu Xuan woke up instantly and looked at him with admiration, "Awesome! You are great! I can't help you much. Come and sit down, I can relax your muscles."

Digging holes in the cement floor was strenuous work, and she knew that Chen Ze would be very tired.

Facing his wife's concern, Mu Chenze was delighted, "Relax later and I'll fill in the hole first. You should study this password box first, and don't force it to open it. I'm worried about it exploding. Min Yi told me a lot before. Such a thing."

Chu Xuan's eyes fell on the snake-shaped pattern on the front of the cowhide box.

Why does it feel familiar?

She had seen this box in her previous life!

I saw it in Feng Chunhua's kitchen.

At that time, Feng Chunhua used it to hold corn cobs and firewood.

Chu Xuan didn't know what the password of the combination lock was. Because Feng Chunhua had never used a combination lock, there were always a lot of corn cobs and firewood in the box, and it could not be completely closed.

Thinking that the gold bars in the cowhide box had been taken away, Feng Chunhua was reluctant to throw away the cowhide box, so she put it in the kitchen as a container for corn cobs.

However, the numbers on the combination lock are always the four numbers 1942.

Chu Xuan wanted to give it a try.

He quickly put on his clothes and shoes and walked to the cowhide box.

He reached out to touch the combination lock, but was stopped by Mu Chenze.

"Daughter-in-law, please study carefully first and don't rush to touch the combination lock. Didn't you hear my instructions just now? There may be something explosive in here..."

Chu Xuan looked very calm, "I know, Ze, don't worry, I will be fine. I remember all the sleep talk that Feng Chunhua said before, including the password for the combination lock, which is 1942."

Mu Chenze held her hand tightly, "What if it's not the case? This box must not belong to Feng Chunhua, otherwise she wouldn't have given her old house to you in the first place. The words she talked in her sleep may also be the passwords for other boxes. We We can't take this risk. I'm going to fill the hole and clean up the yard. When it gets bright tomorrow, I'll take the box to Min Yi and ask him to find a professional to enter the password to open the box."

Chu Xuan couldn't directly tell what happened in her previous life, and because the password 1942 was her guess, she finally agreed to Mu Chenze's suggestion.

"Okay! Let the professionals open the combination lock tomorrow. I will fill in the holes with you."

Mu Chenze felt sorry for his wife, "No need. I can be alone. You can lie down for a while."

Chu Xuan patted the back of his hand, "You feel sorry for me, and I feel sorry for you too. It's just filling in a hole, it won't make me tired. Besides, if you leave me alone to guard the box, don't worry that I can't help but enter the password to open it." box?"

Mu Chenze was really scared, "Daughter-in-law, please dress warmly and stand in the yard and watch me fill the hole."

Chu Xuan covered her mouth and smiled, "I just like to fill in the pits with you. Isn't it tiring to work with men and women?"

In the end, Mu Chenze couldn't control Chu Xuan, and the two of them filled the hole together with shovels.

After filling in a few pieces of soil with a shovel, Chu Xuan suddenly stopped and said, "Why don't we dig to the side? Maybe there will be other good things." (End of Chapter)
