Chapter 97: Which is better to hide in?
"This isn't a small amount, and you did the right thing today. The whole silver ingot was given to your grandmother, she won't worry that you're hiding something from her. But if you gave her the fragmented silver, according to her personality, who knows what she might say later on. So, you guys did very correctly today, just don't do this kind of thing again in the future, got it?"
Mo gave a comfortable-sounding explanation to Gui Hua, although Gui Hua had thought of it before, but the feeling between thinking about it herself and hearing someone else say it was worlds apart.
"Mother, don't worry! Once we're separated and on our own, we'll make a living with our own abilities. I don't believe that with the diligence of our family, we'll be poor for the rest of our lives!" Guihua made up her mind, and the flickering candlelight cast an unexpectedly serious expression on her young face.
"Alright, it's getting late, let's go to sleep! Tomorrow, Nian Ge still needs to help at school. If he's late, won't Mr. get angry?" Madam Mo urged as she stood up and had Chu Yan Nian lie down first.
As soon as the school was mentioned, Osmanthus' eyes lit up and she quickly spoke up: "Brother, tomorrow you must ask the teacher when they will be accepting new students, how the tuition is collected, and what things we need to prepare. Try to get everything clear, do you understand?"
Chu Yan was indeed feeling a bit tired at this moment, and after listening to Gui Hua's words, he didn't ask anything else, just nodded in agreement, letting Mo Shi cover him with the quilt, and closed his eyes wearily.
Mo looked back at Guihua and seemed to be considering the meaning of her previous words, but she didn't say anything else, just urging Guihua to go back inside and rest as well.
Osmanthus was sent back to the room by Mo himself, and it was also Mo who covered her with a quilt, and then covered Mei Hua, who was still asleep, with another quilt. Only then did Mo turn around to leave.
"Daughter!" Osmanthus suddenly stopped Mo from leaving.
Mo Shi turned back and asked: "What's wrong?"
Osmanthus flower pouted and finally got out of bed, beckoning Mo Shi to come closer.
Until Mo stood by the side of the bed, Guihua said: "Mother, just now I saw Chu Yan from the second uncle's house sneaking into the thatched cottage. I'm worried that he went to find where I hid things before. Looking at this silver just placed in our home is not safe either. According to Chu Yan's personality, if he can't find anything tonight, he will definitely go to grandma's tomorrow to tattle, and when grandma gets angry and searches our house, now that we haven't divided the family property yet, she can only search as she likes. So, mother, where do you think it would be better for us to hide this silver?"
Osmanthus finally expressed her concerns, and when she said this, Mo's worried face also made Osmanthus realize that her mother was actually worried about this matter too.
The osmanthus flower has already handed over the silver to the Mo family, but she kept the purse herself. According to her, the purse was borrowed and must be returned later. As for the silver, it should be handed over to her parents for safekeeping, so she didn't bother with it anymore.
At this time, Guihua wouldn't have asked about Mo's hidden money if she wasn't worried that Chu Yandao would do something bad.
Mo seemed not to have expected Guihua to say that, and subconsciously wanted to comfort her that nothing would happen. But thinking again, Guihua's words also made sense. Chu Yan said that Mo naturally knew the child's temperament, according to the child's personality, if he really went to find the silver hidden by Guihua tonight and didn't find it, he would inevitably make a scene.
