The First Farmer's Daughter Chapter 100: Private Money Storm

  "You're still young, but you talk like a seasoned pro. Isn't it just about asking your sister-in-law to help you save these seven taels of silver? Hand them over, and she'll return them to you in the same way."

  Cuīhuā sǎozi was a straightforward person, without any ambiguity, and directly stretched out her hand to take the cloth bag.

  However, Guihua also noticed that Cuifang's sister-in-law, although she agreed very readily, still looked a bit tense when receiving the cloth bag.

  It's also true that for an ordinary farming household, seven taels of silver is not a small amount. If they were to be frugal with their spending, it could cover two years' worth of living expenses. No wonder Cuihua was getting anxious about so much silver.

  This is also placed in Cuihua's hands, even if it were someone else, Guihua's heart would not be at ease. Fortunately, her own mother has a good relationship with Cuihua's family and they know how to show gratitude, so this matter of saving money can pass.

  Osmanthus saw that the silver money was well stored, she didn't delay any longer, bid farewell to Old Lady Liu and left her house, heading towards her own field.

  If nothing unexpected happens, Xu's family has probably finalized the decision to search for their daughter-in-law today, and he needs to rush to inform the elders of each family.

  Just as Gui Hua had guessed, when she called everyone back home, Xu Shi was rummaging through the boxes at Chu Li's house.

  "Daughter, what are you doing?" Mo Shi had just entered the house and saw that her own home was in a mess.

  If it weren't for seeing Xu's wife standing on the kang and rummaging through things, Mo's wife would really think that her own family had invited a thief.

  Xu had rummaged through all the cabinets and chests on the floor of the big house, and was now searching through the row of beds with built-in storage, looking at her rummaging posture, it seemed like she hadn't even moved the boxes, checking if there was anything underneath.

  As soon as she heard the sound behind her, Xu's body stiffened, and she suddenly turned around to glare at Mo, her eyes blazing with fury. "You heartless scoundrel! What have I ever lacked in food or clothing because of you? Should I have thrown away those two good-for-nothing kids we had and fed them to the wild dogs? How could your heart be so cruel? You actually hid our private savings! Tell me, where did you hide the money?"

  Private money?

  As soon as she heard the three words, Mo's face changed color. She didn't think her mother-in-law would find out about her private savings so quickly. Although she had reminded herself when Guihua came to find them just now, at this moment, being suddenly questioned by Xu, Mo's heart was indeed racing.

  As soon as she entered the door, Guifang naturally felt her mother's abnormality. At this time, Moshi was the main force of this battle. If she had a mind to retreat, then this battle would certainly be lost.

  Osmanthus just lifted his arm and exerted a strong force on Mo Shi's lower back, which didn't hurt Mo Shi but gave him a calm reminder.

  A sudden surge of force in her lower back made Mo's nerves tense up, and she immediately calmed down. When she looked at Xu again, the fear had already dissipated. "Mother, what do you mean by this? Since I married into the Chu family, when have I ever been in charge of money? Even the dowry I brought with me when I first got married, didn't it all go to you for management? Mother, even if you're catching a thief, you need to see the stolen goods before you can call someone a thief. Do you have any evidence that proves I've hidden private funds?"
