After enough rest in the afternoon, more than a dozen people continued to work for most of the day against the sun, until the sun was about to set, and they did not rest.

The workers only had one meal a day, and their wages were paid daily, and after each person was paid three cents, they all went home.

And for the sake of the new house, the people of the old Liu family lit the lamp at night and continued to work after dinner.

By digging the foundations of the house and clearing the stones and weeds from the ground, the more they work, the less wages the family will make, and the sooner they can move into a new house.

The third daughter-in-law is not lazy at this time, it is for her own house, plus the two-room family promised by her mother-in-law, she is willing, waving a hoe for a day, her arm is sore and unbearable, and she is still gritting her teeth and persevering.

At this time, Meng Ran was fanning little by little in the house, coaxing the little baby Yu'er to sleep, the weather was sultry, and the baby Yu'er was so hot that she couldn't sleep.

The little hands and feet have been struggling, and they refuse to sleep at night, waking up and making noise.

"Oh, Yu'er, my grandmother has already asked your father and mother to build a new house, and it will be built soon, and it won't be so hot!"

"When Yu'er grows up, Grandma will definitely work hard to save money to buy a big house, so that Yu'er can play happily."

Meng Ran patted Yu'er lightly and gently comforted, "Yu'er is not hot, not hot, get some ice cubes for the past two days, cool down the house, and let Yu'er sleep well!" ”

In the coaxing of her grandmother, the little milk baby Yu'er finally fell asleep.

She was originally hot, she just wanted to be cool, but she was helplessly hypnotized by her grandmother's voice, and fell asleep with a small snoring.

Meng Ran exhaled, and finally put the baby to sleep, and she sweated directly on her back.

She's also hot, and it's really uncomfortable to wear it in ancient times, and she doesn't have an air-conditioned refrigerator!

Thinking of the ice cubes, she thought about finding saltpeter and making ice cubes herself, otherwise, she wouldn't need the ice cubes she bought at all, and asked, there was no money!

After another cold shower, she lay down in bed.

The night gradually deepened, but fortunately, the moon hung high in the sky, and the path home was still clearly visible in the moonlight.

Boss Liu and his entourage are still working hard to shovel the ground, the temperature has dropped at night, there is no heat during the day, and the progress of the work is much faster.

"Big brother, second brother, third brother! Come here! ”

Liu Laosi shoveled the ground, and he couldn't dig it, as if there was something underneath, a big hard lump, I don't know what it is.

On the big night, Liu Laosi was a little scared, what was the thing underneath?

"Fourth, what's going on? What's it called? ”

"Big brother, you can come and take a look, I dug the soil, digging and digging, but I couldn't dig any more, and I poked a hard lump." Liu Laosi hurriedly argued.

Hearing Liu Laosi's words, the daughter-in-law of the four brothers hurriedly huddled together, and they were a little scared to work at night, even if they were quite close to the village.

The torches and oil lamps were on, but they were still afraid.

Seeing that the bold four brothers directly lit a new torch, they used the fire light to shine on the black pit, and directly dug up this hard thing, cleaned the soil, and found that it was a wooden box.

For a while, the four brothers and their respective daughters-in-law instantly made up all kinds of pictures in their brains.

"Someone can't have buried this wooden box here on purpose, right?" Boss Liu guessed.

Several other women, their minds turned even more often, and they directly opened their mouths to guess:

"Could it be that there is gold and silver jewelry hidden in it? Could it be that the former landlord of our village hid it? ”

"Could it be some kind of treasure map? What secrets do you have that no one knows? Or is it something important? ”

Looking at the wooden box, there are two palms in length, some complicated patterns, and a small lock, which looks a little delicate.

"Could it be that our women use the dressing box? I guess it can't be some jewelry, right? ”

"Hidden in the ground, it is estimated that it is a treasure, it must be something valuable!"

Because of this wooden box, several people were really curious, so they held torches in the moonlight, took the box, and went back quietly.

When she got home and locked the courtyard door, Wu Taohua stepped forward first and knocked on her mother-in-law's door quietly.

"Bang ......"

"Mother, have you fallen asleep?"

"Can you come out for a while?"

Meng Ran finally fell asleep, was woken up again, opened the door unhappily, and said a little irritably: "I'm tired all day, I just came back from work, why don't you hurry up and rest, why are you looking for me?" ”

Several people were excited, consciously ignoring their mother's unhappy looks, Wu Taohua said directly: "The fourth brother found a wooden box in the ground, and we pondered this locked box, maybe it was a good thing." ”

"So I hope my mother can palm her eyes and open it to see if it's a baby."

The brothers nodded, "Mother, you can help me take a look at this thing buried in the ground." ”

"It's buried so secretly, maybe it's really a good thing!"

Meng Ran was also aroused by their curiosity, carefully looked at the wooden box on the table, wiped the dust with a rag, and revealed the original appearance of the wooden box.

The pattern is complicated, the wood is extraordinarily dark, the color is deep, it feels very valuable, it is the best material, and a little fragrance wafts out, she can't see what kind of wood it is.

The small lock is exquisite, buried in the ground, and it is not rusty, and it is impossible to tell the time when the wooden box was buried.

Meng Ran took out the embroidery needle for sewing, gently poked the lock several times, and directly untied it.

So, everyone's eyes followed Meng Ran's movements closely, and they took a deep breath, and their hearts suddenly tightened.

What's in this wooden box......

Meng Ran stretched out his hand and slowly opened the wooden box, and suddenly a burst of golden light dazzled.

Everyone's breathing began to become heavy, and even Meng Ran couldn't help but take a deep breath!

Boss Liu's words were incomplete: "Mother, this is, full, gold, a whole box!" ”

Meng Ran took out the gold bar directly from the box, handed one by one, and carefully felt whether it was a real gold bar.

If a box is full of real gold bars, then their old Liu family will send it......

The gold bars here, carefully weighed, each one has 10 taels, with these gold bars, you can exchange for a lot of silver ingots.

The four sons and daughters-in-law began to test each with their front teeth, and the gold bars were very hard, and it was indeed true!

Meng Ran was also a little moved, she originally wanted to bite it with her teeth, but seeing that her son and daughter-in-law had already verified it, she didn't need it.

"Mother, we sent it!"

"Oh my God! At night, the ancestral grave of our old Liu family smoked! You can dig up gold! ”

"Fourth, we rely on you tonight to earn it! Rich! ”

"Hey, hey! Mother, with these gold bars, we are not short of money, can we make a blue brick house? ”

Eight pairs of eyes stared directly at Meng Ran, she didn't panic at all, and calmly counted the gold bars in the box in front of them.

There were 24 gold bars in the wooden box, plus 8 in their hands, that is, 32 gold bars, no wonder the wooden box was so heavy, and the gold was full of weight.

Meng Ran thought about the next plan for the family, and said: "You leave a gold bar in each room......"
