Chapter 71 Worry
"Thank you Granny Zhou, we understand." Li Shen pretended to be nonchalant and nodded towards Granny Zhou.

Mrs. Zhou smiled and said, "I didn't expect that you have such rich relatives riding in a big carriage."

When Li Shen heard the word "big carriage", he became even more worried.

He didn't want to talk anymore, so he said a few perfunctory words about the weather, then turned and entered the house.

Grandma Zhou wanted to look after the child and went back.

Brothers Zhou Heihu and Zhou Heiniu didn't notice Li Shen's expression. They followed him with a smile, "Brother Mu Sheng, if Sister Lin isn't coming back, why don't we cook less dinner? Whatever you want to eat, we brothers will do it."

"I can cook porridge, put some bacon in it, and make bacon porridge, right?" Zhou Heihu said.

"Brother, make some more pancakes, like the ones made by Sister-in-law Lin with chopped green onions. Fry until both sides are golden, fragrant and crispy." Zhou Heiniu licked his lips.

Li Shen turned back to look at the two brothers, "Pack your things and go to the county seat!"

The two brothers looked at him in surprise, "Brother Musheng, what are we doing in the county town?"

"Go do things, hurry up!" Li Shen urged.

He ordered Zhou Heihu to hitch the donkey cart and bring fodder.

He also ordered Zhou Heiniu to bring some herbal tea and find some dry food to put in the car.

Going to the market that day, Lin Xirou not only bought daily necessities, but also bought some dried fruit cakes.

Xu Shi fled the capital for half a month, which made her hungry.

She bought a lot of fried peanuts, dried red dates and dried chestnuts, as well as several kilograms of baked pancakes.

Lin Xirou put the dry goods from the north and the south into some washed jars.

When she was free, she grabbed a handful and ate them.

It hasn't rained much recently, so it won't be a problem to store these dry goods for several months.

Li Shen entered Lin Xirou's house.

That woman took all the property by herself without giving him a penny.

Well now, he had to go into the house and search.

According to Lin Xirou's cautiousness, her belongings would not be hidden in cabinets or placed under pillows and quilts where they could be easily found.That day she was banging around in the house again, and she probably buried it somewhere in the house.

Li Shen checked the cracks in the bricks, behind the cabinet, and under the bed.

Finally, he noticed some unusual dust settling behind the bed frame.

That's the dust from the bricks.

Li Shen moved the bed frame and reached out to touch it. Sure enough, he found that a brick against the wall of the bed frame could be moved.

He gently took out a brick and put his hand in it.

"Haha——" Li Shen laughed.

What a crafty woman.

He only took out a small cloth bag slightly larger than his fist.

Less than one-twentieth of what Mr. Xi gave me!

Li Shen took the smallest gold bracelet and put the other items back.

He put the bricks back and moved the bed frame back, and everything was done the same as before.

In the courtyard, Zhou Heihu called him, "Brother Musheng, the donkey cart is hitched."

Zhou Heiniu also said, "Herbal tea and dry food are ready."

Li Shen now feels that the pair of crutches in his hand are really practical.

Although the workmanship is rough, it is strong and convenient.

For example, now, he can use a cane and go out to find that little woman!

Li Shen locked Lin Xirou's door and came to the courtyard.

"Heihu is older, stay here and guard the house. Remember, don't go out more often, and don't bring anyone in. Make your own food when you are hungry, be careful with firewood, and close the door and sleep when it gets dark. Hei Niu will follow me to the county seat."

"Brother Mu Sheng, what should I do if my aunt comes to cause trouble for my eldest brother? He is the only one at home. He can't fight her?" Zhou Heiniu was worried for his brother Zhou Heihu.
