Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

Chapter 140: The Enemy is Dark and We Are Bright

All An Yue could think of was to take back the silver from her grandmother and rebuild her home.

The money that her grandmother had kept was originally intended for An Nian to use for his future imperial examinations.

Now, I don’t even have a place to stay, so I can only use that money.

Although earning money is a long and difficult process, she believes that as long as she works hard, she will be able to earn a lot of money in the future.

"Yueyue, don't worry too much." The uncle saw what An Yue was thinking and said, "We will always be by your side and help you rebuild it."

An Yue looked at her uncle with gratitude. With her uncle and grandfather by her side, her heart was filled with strength.

"Thank you, uncle and grandfather." An Yue thanked again.

At this time, the village chief Li Huairen rushed over from the west end of the village.

"What's going on?" asked the village chief Li Huairen breathlessly.

When Grandmother Zhou saw the village chief coming, she cried even louder.

"Village Chief... How are we going to live in the future?"

"Sister-in-law, don't be sad, there must be a way..." The village chief and other villagers comforted Grandma Zhou.

At this time, a carriage was parked on the road not far away, and someone in the carriage shouted angrily: "Where is the thing I asked you to find?"

The masked man looked very terrified and said, "Sir, it's all my fault for not doing my job well."

"The things haven't been found yet, and you...?" The man sitting in the carriage had a tone full of anger and disappointment.

The masked man was so frightened that his body began to tremble.

"You idiots! You are a bunch of good-for-nothings!! You are never able to accomplish anything, but you are always causing trouble!!!" The man kicked the masked man in the chest and scolded him with veins exposed on his face.

The masked man knew very well that he had failed to complete the task, which made the adults very unhappy. He dared not argue anymore and could only endure the scolding silently.

The man was furious in the carriage, and the atmosphere in the whole carriage was extremely tense, as if the air was about to condense.

A group of villagers were standing outside the gate of the An family's courtyard. Uncle An Tiancai and aunt Zhang had also returned home. Aunt Zhang was covering her face and crying.

The eldest aunt slapped her thigh in despair and cried, "The child just got married, and now it's all burned up in a fire. It's all gone... How are we going to live in the future?"

Grandfather An Chengde wiped his tears silently. Their lives were completely disrupted by the sudden fire.

They didn't know how to deal with the current predicament.

Grandfather Jiang Wuwen opened his pipe and squatted on the side of the road to smoke. Uncle Jiang Chenghai also squatted next to his father. They were worried about the future of the siblings.

The father and son whispered to each other. After much consideration, uncle Jiang Chenghai walked up to An Yue and asked seriously, "Yueyue, why don't you and Nian Nian come back to the Jiang family with us?"

"If that doesn't work, I'll go talk to the village chief and see if I can buy you a homestead in Pingxiang Village?"

In An Yue's heart, didn't she also want to go back to the Jiang family?

After all, there are grandparents and uncles in Pingxiang Village.

No matter how difficult life is in a rural village, it will be much easier with the help of grandparents.

However, ever since An Yue returned to the An family, there have been more and more things that puzzle her.

She felt many times that someone was secretly observing the entire An family.

For example, the mysterious black shadow lying at the gate of the yard, and then the door of the east room was pried open.

The whole house was in a mess, as if someone was looking for something.

In addition, last night, she saw a figure on the yard wall with her own eyes.

All these things, one by one, all point to one result.

——This fire was definitely not an accident. Someone must have caused it on purpose.

But it is still unclear who did it.

Now that the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light, An Yue's intuition tells her that the thieves will never give up until they find what they want.

An Yue recalled from memory that her father had hidden something mysteriously before, and she even ran over to ask, "Daddy, what are you hiding?"

She remembered that her father had said to her in a very serious tone, "Yueyue, did you see what Daddy hid here?

An Yue nodded obediently.

"Yueyue, Daddy is going to tell you something now. You have to promise Daddy that you will never open it at any time. Remember?"

An Yue had never seen her father so serious, and she felt very uneasy at the time.

Later, Daddy specifically reminded me again: "Don't tell anyone, including your mother and brother. Daddy hopes you will just pretend you never saw it."

From then on, An Yue kept her father's instructions in mind and pretended that she had never seen that scene.

Later, not long after, my father and mother were stabbed to death on the roadside by a group of masked men.

Later, An Yue fell seriously ill and was kicked out of the house.

So, for now, the thing has not been found by the bad guys.

Of course, the situation of the siblings was also very dangerous. She absolutely could not go to the Jiang family, and she did not want to implicate her grandfather's family.

An Yue politely refused, "Uncle, Yueyue knows your intentions, but Yueyue and Nian Nian are originally members of the An family. If we return to the Jiang family again, I'm afraid the Jiang family will never have peace in the future."

When Uncle Jiang Chenghai heard what An Yue said, he of course knew what An Yue was referring to.

Uncle Jiang Chenghai said again with great guilt: "But now..."

In order to reassure her uncle and grandfather, An Yue pretended to be calm and said, "Uncle, grandfather, all this can't stop Yue Yue. At worst, I can start over again. Besides, with your help, Yue Yue will be able to rebuild her home soon."

When my grandfather heard that An Yue didn't want to go back to the Jiang family, he sat down on the open space in defeat, lowering his head and smoking his pipe one puff after another.

At this time, many villagers came from all directions, and they were all talking about it: "Why did the fire start out of nowhere?"

A village woman murmured quietly, "It's been dry these past few days. Maybe they didn't clean up the flames under the stove properly!"

Grandmother Zhou was already angry when she heard the village women talking about irrelevant things.

She cursed without any hesitation: "Bah! You widow Yang, when you killed your man, how could I, Zhou, ever say a word of ridicule to you?"

"Hey! Why do you talk like that? We even sympathize with your situation." Widow Yang crossed her arms over her chest and said unhappily.

"You are you, why do you have to drag others into it? Your own life is not satisfactory, so why do you have to laugh at others?" Zhou's wrinkled face twisted with anger.

She was so angry that her lips trembled and she wanted to rush up and slap Widow Yang.

Widow Yang was not intimidated by Zhou's momentum. She went up to Zhou and said loudly, "Then tell me, if there was no fire in your house, how could there be a fire?"

Zhou's face turned pale, her lips were tightly pursed, and tears flashed in her eyes.
