Chapter 31

Su Eli waved to her, motioning her to come closer, but her voice was not quiet at all.

"I've heard of a folk remedy before. If you plant something and it doesn't want to survive, just bury some silver under the ground to make sure it survives and then dig out the silver when the seedlings grow strong."

Yun Mingyue was confused, "Don't lie to me, why haven't I heard of this folk remedy?"

"If everyone knew about it, wouldn't it be a folk remedy?" Su Eli shrugged and smiled at her, "Okay, thank you for the dried bamboo shoots."

This person is really a bit strange. Yun Mingyue looked at her happily leaving with a blank look on her face. The sunflower seedlings she finally planted were destroyed, and yet she was so happy. She was an odd person.

Su Eli went back to the house, and the two brothers who were waiting to see her cry outside were glaring at each other.

Did they hear it right, broken silver?!

That's not one or two copper coins, that's silver!

"Let's go!" Su Yuanbao pulled Su Shitou, "Let's go back first and come back in the middle of the night!"

The night is getting darker.

In the village, usually everyone should go to bed at this time.

Two dark figures quietly slipped out of the Su family's door.

Su Yuanbao took Su Shitou all the way to Su Eli's home.

They hid behind the wall and whispered, "Hey, we have agreed this time. If we find any money, it will be ours. If we add two to one, we will make five, and no one will give us the rest. Do you hear me?"

"Don't worry, brother." Su Shitou said firmly, "Can I not listen to you? But this money is not allowed to be given to my mother?"

Su Yuanbao curled his lips, rolled his eyes, and coaxed him, "If you give it to my mother, my mother will definitely spend all of it on me studying, and you won't get a penny by then. How can you share it equally with me?"

It’s a good deal, I’m doing it for your own good!”

Su Shitou had a simple mind. After thinking about it, he realized the truth and grinned, "Okay, brother, you have the final say, and I will listen to you."

Under the cover of night, the two of them crawled forward, one behind the other, to the two rows of sunflower seedlings. Su Yuanbao moved his hands first, and just like during the day, he pulled one out with all his strength.

"Have you found it, brother?" Su Shitou's eyes were full of earnestness.

"It's not that fast. Don't just stand there. Go and look for him over there." Su Yuanbao pushed him.

Su Shitou responded, hurriedly went to the other side, lowered his head and started to pull up sunflower seedlings. The two of them were so focused on doing bad things that they didn't even notice that the gate of the fence was quietly opening a crack.

Su Eli had already turned off the light, and it was the two of them who were waiting here!

When the two of them weren't paying attention, she pushed open the fence door, grabbed Su Yuanbao hard, and shouted loudly, "Catch the thief! Catch the thief who stole the seedlings!"

"You, what are you doing!? Let go, who is the thief?!" Su Yuanbao's face changed drastically. He was a noble "scholar". How could a girl who didn't understand anything say he was a "thief"!

Su Eli didn't care about his tricks and wouldn't let go of him. Su Yuanbao had been studying since he was a child and was loved by his family. He couldn't bear to let him work at all, so he was already so old and he didn't have more than two ounces of strength.

, there is no way that Su Eli can be torn apart.

Su Eli pulled him and shouted loudly to catch the thief. The nearby villagers heard this and rushed out one after another.

"Who? Stealing seedlings?"

"Where is it?!"

The villagers rushed over to take a look and were a little surprised, "Why are they you two brothers?!"

"No matter who they are, they are definitely here to steal the seedlings. If you don't believe me, look at it!" Su Eli pointed to the sunflower seedlings scattered on the ground, with an expression on her face that she was about to cry, "These sunflower seedlings are very valuable, they are

Aunt Cao kindly gave me this, but I didn’t expect that as soon as I got into trouble, I would be targeted!”

Someone looked at Su Yuanbao doubtfully and said with a bit of ridicule: "Su Yuanbao, aren't you a scholar? Why are you doing such sneaky things?"

"No! Don't talk nonsense, I didn't steal it!" Su Yuanbao tried his best to break away from Su Eli, with a look of contempt on his face, "It's just a few sunflower seedlings, who cares about her!"

"If you don't want it, then why did you come here to pull it out at night?" Yun Mingyue was quick to talk, and seeing that the victim was Su Eli, of course she was not willing to let the two brothers go.

"Yes..." Su Yuanbao quickly came up with an idea, pointed at Su Eli and said, "She wanted to give it to me. She didn't want the trouble of growing this sunflower, so she asked me to take it home."

Su Eli frowned, "I hate trouble? Will I still be with Aunt Cao? Chuanchuan and Nuannuan like it so much, why would I give it away? Besides, who would come over in the middle of the night to move the seeds? What are you doing during the day?

went?"

Su Yuanbao was speechless by her rebuke, his face turned red.

Seeing that he was speechless, a villager on the side spoke angrily, "You don't do serious things at a young age, and you become a thief! Is this what you learned when you studied in Shang Xuetang?"

To the people in the village, although any seedling planted is not worth a few dollars, it has another value. How many sunflower seeds can be harvested from such a large piece of sunflower seedlings when they grow up? What he did was harm the hard work of others.

The land of hard work.

Stealing some seedlings may not lead to official submission, but in the hearts of the villagers, this is no less than stealing!

Stealing is shameful, stealing someone else's seeds is just as shameful!

Su Shitou was a stupid person and wanted to defend himself, but he would only follow Su Yuanbao's words. Su Yuanbao had nothing to say, so he had nothing to say.

Seeing that they had aroused public outrage, Su Shitou looked at his brother in panic, winking at him and gesticulating, extremely anxious.

Su Yuanbao's face turned red and white, and finally an idea came to his mind. He forced himself to calm down and explained to the people around him, "Yes, it is wrong for us to come here to look for things, but I have a reason."

"You sunflower, I didn't say I wouldn't compensate you." Su Yuanbao said to Su Eli seriously, "When I find what I hid in it and I damaged a few of them for you, I'll just compensate you.

"

Su Eli looked at him funny, then looked around at everyone, "Well, tell me what you hid in it. If you really have a reason and are willing to compensate me for these sunflowers, then this matter will be settled like this

Already."

Su Yuanbao's calculation was shrewd. What Su Eli hid inside was a few broken pieces of silver, and these sunflower seedlings were not even worth a small piece of broken silver. As long as he was the first to say that he hid the silver,

When you find out, why don't you just give her some coins and be done with it?

Therefore, he confidently said: "I hid a few pieces of silver in it. That is my own money. I can hide my own money wherever I want, but I don't care about other people's affairs, right?"
