Chapter 429: She also wants to learn from the Sun Family

Zhang Family was stung by Tong Xingda’s curse, her feeling of grievance and anger intensified. For what reason was she enduring this?

She was cluelessly pushed into this plight, then scolded. Was this life even worth living?

Seeing this, Zhu Hongyun’s eyes began to move. She stood up and approached Zhang Family, whispering, “Mother, the three of them went out together… do you really believe they didn’t hide any treasure?”

Upon hearing this, the fury in Zhang Family’s bosom came to a halt suddenly. She looked at Zhu Hongyun with surprise.

“Mother, there may be a possibility.” Zhu Hongyun said, “Even though we have never been to the secret tunnel, the treasures in the National Treasury must be vast. They claim not to have hidden anything, is that even possible?”

Upon hearing this, Zhang Family was silent.

She could only be certain that there was no treasure in her room.

Tong Xingda had not brought anything valuable back all these years.

However, even if he were to hide anything, he wouldn’t bring it home because it is too obvious and could easily expose him.

They probably stored them in a few different places according to the saying ‘a crafty rabbit has three burrows’, right?

Thinking like this, Zhang Family gave Zhu Hongyun a stern look without any emotion, “So what if they are hiding something? If they take it out now, the authorities will definitely seize it.”

“We can quietly sell it!” Zhu Hongyun suggested.

“Let’s wait until the current situation cools down, let’s just live with this for now.” Zhang Family stood up and went back to her room.

“Let’s sleep.” Qian Family also got up and went back to her room.

At least her secret stash of money was secure.

However, the comfortable days she had enjoyed for decades were coming to an end, where would the future income come from, how could they continue to live like this!

Sighing, the Qian Family went into her room.

Only the families of Tong Second Son and Tong Eldest Son were left in the hall.

Tong Eldest Son, holding his son, stood up, “Second Brother, your sister-in- law and I are going back to the room too.”

Soon, only Zhu Hongyun and Tong Second Son were left in the hall. The couple looked at each other and went back to their room as well.

Bleeding profusely as if her entire body was emptied, Zhu Hongyun fell weakly onto the bed; she stared blankly at the candle on the table.

Tong Second Son prepared some water for her to wash her feet.

She sat up, staring at the top of Tong Second Son’s head for a moment, then spoke, “I wish we could become bandits like the Sun Family.”

She used to despise the Sun Family for always ransacking Qiao Xiaomai’s house; it was utterly ungracious, the behavior of a shrew.

But considering her family’s current situation, she was actually starting to envy the Sun Family.

How nice it would be if she could ransack Tong Third Son’s room.

She wouldn’t dare touch Tong Tiehu and Tong Xingda’s share, but she dared to be interested in Tong Third Son’s room.

Tong Second Son could tell her intention from her words. He tutted, “Didn’t you forget? Didn’t the Sun Family search Third Brother’s room last time?” “Hmm?” Zhu Hongyun was stunned for a moment, but quickly caught on.

That time she and Tong Second Son had just returned from the town and missed the scene of Sun Family rushing into Tong Third Son’s room.

“With so many people around, what could the Sun Family find? If it were me, I would definitely bury it under the room.” Zhu Hongyun dismissed the idea.

“Hmm… you have a point. But now the Third Brother mentioned he wanted to go hunting, and this isn’t the ideal time to reveal any treasure either.”

“Let’s wait for a while.” Zhu Hongyun sighed.

Even if they wanted to dig, they couldn’t act now.

“Let him hunt more these days, hunting all the wild pigs on the mountain could still yield a few hundred taels, right?”
