At this mont, Jiang Xue, far away in Xu City, sneezed a few tis in her sleep and suddenly opened her eyes.
"Is soone badmouthing ?" Jiang Xue rubbed her nose, thinking to herself. However, she didn’t pay much attention and turned over to continue sleeping.
At Cheng Family Village, Mrs. Cheng was the only one at the Cheng Family. She lay under a thick quilt, slling the fragrance of the new bedding, clutching a large pile of money in her arms, but she couldn’t sleep at all.
Although she had sent her daughter into a wealthy family, whether out of guilt or sothing else, she felt deeply uneasy.
That was the reason she couldn’t sleep at all that night. Not until dawn was breaking did she slowly fall asleep. And so, she slept straight into the next morning, not waking until the sun was high in the sky.
As soon as she woke up, Mrs. Cheng heard her door suddenly make a noise. So, she quickly crawled out of bed, throwing on a piece of clothing, intending to see what was happening.
But just then, the door was pushed open, and several burly n with dark faces stord in, startling Mrs. Cheng.
"Who are you, and what do you want?" Mrs. Cheng shouted, her face turning pale in an instant.
These people clearly didn’t co with good intentions. She suddenly thought about the money stashed at ho, wondering if these people had co for it.
The saying goes, what you fear will co to pass. Just as the thought crossed her mind, she heard one of the burly n pulling out a knife and pressing it against her neck, saying, "Hand over the money!"
"What, what money, I don’t know." Mrs. Cheng’s heart sank, but she pretended to be clueless, slowly backing away.
"You don’t know?" The man pushed the knife closer and sneered, "Your life or the money, choose one."
"I, I really don’t have money." Mrs. Cheng still wouldn’t admit to having money, thinking maybe the n would leave. Little did she know these n were on a mission and wouldn’t leave without the money.
However, the man with the knife knew Mrs. Cheng wouldn’t tell the truth, so he instructed the others, "You guys, search around."
Several n imdiately started searching for the money. Seeing their actions, Mrs. Cheng grew anxious. The money Old Jiang gave last ti, she hadn’t stored in the bank so she could keep an eye on it all the ti.
Now, it was going to benefit these n.
The thought of her money being taken away by these people made Mrs. Cheng unwilling to give in. So, she fearlessly shouted, "Help, help, there’s a thief in the house."
As soon as she shouted, the leader’s face turned completely black, and he quickly knocked her unconscious with a chop to the neck.
"Hurry up; it’ll be troubleso if soone cos." After knocking Mrs. Cheng out, the leader urged his n to speed up.
They were on a mission but wanted to avoid any further trouble. All they needed was to take Mrs. Cheng’s money, then interrogate her to get to the truth.
Soon, they found the money hidden on the bed. Thinking about how Mrs. Cheng slept with the money every day, they couldn’t help but laugh.
It was lucky that Mrs. Cheng liked sleeping with the money, or they wouldn’t have found it. With the money found, they got a sack, packed Mrs. Cheng into it, and carried her away.
They took Mrs. Cheng, avoiding the villagers, quickly reaching a deserted spot in the mountains, and then they woke her up.
