As soon as I was reborn, my fiancé came to propose marriage!

Chapter 118 Chen Ping decided to stockpile food

Even if he trusted him, he would not store a lot of food. Just for Yaoyao, he had to force his second brother, so he came up with that idea with his wife.

He first filled a few sacks with the coarse grains he got from the division of the family property, and then filled other sacks with things from the supermarket and mixed them together. Anyway, he only had to take out the first sack and let Chen Ping see that it was brown rice.

In this case, no matter how slow Chen Ping is, he will have a sense of crisis.

.......

Little Zheng was sleeping in a daze. When she turned over, she saw a figure approaching the bed.

The man didn't take off his clothes before going to bed. If it was her husband, he would have taken off his clothes directly before going to bed, and he wouldn't have been so sneaky.

Her whole body was tense, she held her breath and dared not even breathe, she used her body to shield the child behind her, trying to make the man think that she was the only one in the room.

I saw the black shadow bending down and groping under the bed. I don’t know what he touched, but he turned around and went to get the oil lamp on the table.

Little Zheng got out of bed quietly, suppressed her fear, picked up the carrying pole beside the bed and smashed it at the black shadow.

"Ouch!"

Chen Ping had a very eventful night. First he was frightened by the third brother, and then he was hit with a stick by his wife.

There's nothing I can do about my good luck.

When Xiao Zheng heard the familiar voice, she was so scared that she dropped the carrying pole on the ground. She fumbled for the light and found that her husband had a big bump on his head.

"What are you doing? You scared me to death!"

Her voice was filled with tears. "Why don't you come back so late at night? You were still groping under the bed. I thought you were a thief."

"I didn't want to wake you up, but who knew you would misunderstand me."

"You usually sleep like a dead sleeper, why are you so alert today?"

Chen Ping allowed his wife to soak a handkerchief in water and apply it to his head. He gasped in pain. When Xiao Zheng heard this, she knew how serious the injury was and she almost cried.

Seeing this, the man quickly suppressed his voice and said, "It's okay, it doesn't hurt, what's wrong with two hits?"

He boasted with a playful smile, "The third brother got hit by me tonight too!"

"Good brothers should be beaten together!"

"Why did you hit the third brother?"

She burst into laughter immediately, "They even sent us fruits during the day."

Chen Ping did not respond. He picked up the oil lamp and placed it beside the bed, then lifted the quilt beside the bed.

Then he reached inside and soon felt a handle. He pulled the handle open and little Zheng lay down with him.

Through the narrow gap in the bed, I saw that there was a small wooden door inside.

It was embedded in the ground, and there was actually a cellar under the door!

.......

Time goes back to that path.

"Brother, do you remember why you chose the house you live in now when we first built our house?"

Chen Ping touched his head embarrassedly, "You bring this up again? Didn't we agree not to bring it up?"

"We dug a big hole down there out of mischief, and then you were afraid that Dad would find out, so you just chose that room first and covered it with a board."

"Later, you pressed the big hole with your bed, and until now, no one in the family knows about it except us two."

Chen Yan spoke slowly.

Chen Ping was simple-minded but not stupid. After hearing what his third brother said and looking at the bags of grain in the haystack, he understood his third brother's intention of digging the hole.

Apart from the two of them, no one else in the house knew about the big hole under his bed.

Later, he moved in. The two brothers were afraid that the hole would collapse and they would have to be hit by boards, so they went to reinforce it in the middle of the night while everyone in the house was asleep.

The hole under the bed is now like a cellar.

If he stored as much food in there as Chen Yan did, I think he would be able to put enough space.

The two brothers each carried a bag of grain and walked back and forth four or five times before they finished moving all the things. Neither of them spoke a word along the way.

Chen Yan was waiting for Chen Ping to figure it out himself, and Chen Ping was also thinking about whether he should take a gamble.

After finishing the last move, looking at the bags of grain in the yard of the third brother’s house, he decided to take a gamble!

No matter what, at most he lost his money. If he didn't gamble, he might have lost his life. He still has a wife and children.

If not for yourself, you have to think about the mother and daughter.

........

The man sat at the table and explained. The oil lamp was still on the ground and no one had taken it. The dim light reflected the big hole under the bed.

From a distance, Xiao Zheng saw that the hole looked like a man-eating beast that could swallow the child on the bed whole in the next second.

She suddenly felt flustered for no reason.

But looking at her husband's determined eyes, we are a family after all, so what if he loses the bet?

She made up her mind and gently held his hand.

"Okay, I promise. I'll give you the silver tomorrow. Ask the third brother to contact them and see if he can help us transport the food over in the middle of the night, and you two brothers can secretly move it into the room."

"Don't let anyone else know about this." She was afraid that her husband would be careless, so she gave him another warning.

When Chen Ping heard his wife agreed, his heart instantly fell to the ground, "Don't worry, we will do the same thing today when we move our grain."

........

The next morning, when Chen Ping brought little Zheng to their house, Cui Yunzhu knew that the matter was done.

She winked at Chen Yan behind his back and gave him a thumbs up.

The man had been happy all morning, but soon he couldn't laugh anymore.

Because Chen Ping proposed to go to the town with him to buy food.

According to his thinking, his second brother must have bought coarse grains, so he planned to pack all the remaining grains at home for him and then say that he bought them himself.

Who knew that Chen Ping would come up to him and pat his shoulder, "Third brother, this time, I'll go with you! Shall we go in the afternoon and come back quietly at night?"

There were cracks on the man's face. He looked at his wife for help and swallowed his saliva. "Second brother, no need..."

"I'll contact the guy in the store and ask him to deliver it like he did last night."

"No, it's a waste of money. What if others find out that we bought so much food? We can just rent a bullock cart and go there in the afternoon and bring it back in the evening."

Xiao Zheng next to her had the same idea, so she decided to go there to feel more at ease.

Seeing that he couldn't persuade them, Chen Yan nodded and agreed. Turning back, he saw his wife gloating beside them.

Since they had rented a ox cart, Cui Yunzhu also planned to go for a stroll around the town. Coincidentally, Chen Ping also called little Zheng, so Yaoyao was left with Zheng for the time being.

They just said that they had something to do at their parents' home and would not be back until the next day. Zheng didn't ask any more questions and just told them to be careful on the road.

In the afternoon, the four of them gathered stealthily on the roadside, walked for a while, and rented a ox cart when they arrived at the next village.

Just in case, Chen Ping deliberately chose to rent a house from someone he had never met before, so that the other party would not know where they lived or where they were from.

They couldn't be more cautious. Even Cui Yunzhu and Chen Yan, the two initiators, felt inferior to them.
