A wisp of green smoke floated into the house through the gap in the window.

After just a few breaths, the sound of someone falling to the ground was heard.

Song Jixiang didn't rush in. He stood there for a while before opening the door quietly.

There was a person lying on the ground beside the bed. It was Song Jiawu who was laughing happily just now.

Song Jixiang stepped forward and kicked him repeatedly, specifically targeting the places where he felt the most pain, so that he could feel the pain quickly and thoroughly.

He then struck Old Mrs. Song on the bed in the face from both sides, making sure both sides were taken care of.

No need to thank her, she really finds it hard to accept asymmetrical beauty o(* ̄) ̄*)o

Song Jixiang let out the anger in his heart and felt that he could breathe much more easily.

To be on the safe side, she went to Chen Cuihua and Song Youcai's room and blew some smoke. The smoke was made with materials she found in the mountains today, and it took her a lot of effort.

Bah, that’s a good deal for both of them.

Soon, the entire Song family was filled with snoring sounds.

Song Jixiang swaggered around every room but did not find her mother's dowry.

The room where the dowry was previously stored was also empty.

Could it be that those things can grow legs and run away?

She had seen Jiang's dowry list, which was a very long list.

Even if Old Lady Song spent some of her money in the past few years, it is impossible that all the jewelry and fabrics are left!

Song Jixiang thought about it and returned to Old Lady Song’s room.

She once secretly saw from outside the window that Old Lady Song was fiddling with something under the bed. Could it be that she sold Jiang's dowry and exchanged it for silver and hid it under the bed... right?

After all, it is easier to collect if it is converted into silver than those large and conspicuous items.

As far as she knew, the ancients liked to put some important or valuable things in secret compartments where they could see them at any time.

What a cunning old woman.

Pretending to lock an empty room, she wanted to confuse everyone, or rather, to confuse the three rooms.

It’s possible that everyone else in the family, except for their third wife, already knows about it.

The three of them are just a bunch of idiots.

I have to say, the truth about Song Jixiang is revealed!

There are several large cabinets against the walls of the room.

After opening it, I didn't find anything valuable.

If Old Lady Song hadn't been unconscious, Song Jixiang would have wanted to pick her up and interrogate her.

There's nothing she can do about it, since she's extremely short of money right now.

I feel anxious when I have no money.

So Old Mrs. Song and her quilt were thrown to the ground, but she still didn't wake up.

There was nothing on the bed.

Song Jixiang was not discouraged and turned the whole bed over.

The heavy wooden bed was like a toy in her hands.

Hey, you know what, there really is a secret compartment under the bed. Without saying a word, he pulled it down with great force.

I opened the box and looked inside, and saw only a few scattered pieces of silver and some copper coins.

Although it was not as much as she had imagined, she did not mind and poured it all into her pocket.

It is said that a cunning rabbit has three burrows. She didn't believe that Old Lady Song only had so little stock.

So, she started looking for it...

Finally, he sat down on the ground gasping for breath due to exhaustion.

What to do? She was hungry again.

Since she recovered her powers, she has become particularly hungry easily and can eat a lot of meat.

At this time, she especially missed the time when she had the ability of space. If she had space now, she would not be afraid of her stomach dying even if she was trapped in the mountains.

This body is still too weak. My hands and feet become weak after doing even the smallest thing.

My mind started to run wild.

This old lady is quite good at hiding things. There must be something she overlooked.

My sight slowly moves around the house.

Finally, she discovered something different. There was a slight bulge on a piece of stone slab in the shadow, which was invisible if you didn't look carefully.

Her eyes lit up instantly, she stood up, walked over a few steps, and found that it was the location of the big bed. She said, that's what Old Lady Song often did with the doors and windows closed in the house, making a lot of banging noises, so it turned out that she was tinkering with these.

She doesn't even need any tools, she just works hard.

She casually threw a piece of stone slab aside, revealing a large deep pit underneath.

There is an oil-paper bag in the deep pit, and several big gold ingots are visible from the layers of oilcloth. They are round, plump and shiny, and they are pleasing to the eye.

There are four of them, and each weighs about ten taels.

This amount of money is already a huge sum for an ordinary family. If spent frugally, it can be enough for the whole family to live on for a long time.

Song Jixiang's heart, which had been struggling for a living, finally came to fruition.

No need to worry about going hungry for the time being.

Collect, collect, collect...

It's all hers now.

The movement was unprecedentedly fast, without the slightest hesitation.

She dared to conclude that these were obtained by selling Jiang's dowry, and some of them should be obtained by Song Jiaming's cheap father from selling prey.

Because when Mr. Song was alive, he once lamented in front of her that the family's money was becoming tight and they had to think of some way to increase income and reduce expenditure.

Unfortunately, the old man passed away before we could figure out a solution.

Song Jixiang had seen Jiang's dowry list, which should be about 70 or 80 taels in total. Even though it was not over a hundred taels, it was actually quite a lot, and it was definitely the largest amount in the area.

You have to know that in that era, two or three taels of silver were enough for a family to live on for a year.

These silver and money were obviously very different from the dowry list, but Song Jixiang understood it after thinking about it.

Song Bowen, the eldest son of the Song family, was studying in the town. The tuition and four treasures of the study were a considerable expense. In addition, there were also the food and rent for the family of four in the town, none of which could be done without money.

As far as she knew, the eldest wife of the Song family had never brought a penny into the family.

On the contrary, all the expenses for their family of four were paid by Old Mrs. Song.

Where did Old Lady Song get her money? It was all extorted from her family.

Old Mrs. Song never thought of hiding it from them. Perhaps in her heart, they were just a group of tools, stepping stones for Song Bowen, and it was their honor to be a stepping stone.

Even when Chen Cuihua occasionally made some sarcastic remarks, she was scolded by Old Lady Song.

In the heart of Old Lady Song, Song Bowen was the incarnation of the Star of Literature, who was destined to be a high-ranking official and bring honor to the family. She wanted to rely on this good grandson to return to the city and live the life of an old lady.

Who knows, her good grandson might be able to earn her a title and bring her back to be a good official.

When talking about these, Song Jixiang just wanted to laugh...

In the original body's memory, the eldest family of four rarely came back once a month.

Every time he came back, he would be dressed elegantly, just like the masters and mistresses in the city, with his nose in the air, and the way he looked at them was as if he was giving alms.

Occasionally, when people from the village come to visit, their expressions are surprisingly consistent: brothers are all friendly to each other, sisters-in-law are all harmonious, and sisters are all affectionate to each other.

Her good cousin came down from the clouds to earth, and instantly became a well-educated, polite, and modest gentleman...

The original incarnation in the past wouldn’t have thought much about it.

Now it’s Song Jixiang’s turn. She can’t help but think more, are all the family members acting geniuses?

I have to be more careful when I see you next time.

After all, Chen Cuihua, who always loved to take advantage of others and was quite cunning, had never gotten any good treatment from the eldest wife.

Therefore, Old Lady Song felt at ease accepting the money that she had hidden.

As for what will happen to these people in the Song family, sorry, that is not her concern.

Besides, given Old Lady Song's character, if she could hide in one place, she would probably also hide in a second and third place...

I have to say, Song Jixiang has revealed the truth once again!

It was already late, her stomach growling with hunger, and she didn't want to spend any more time and energy looking for something uncertain.

As for the livestock in the yard, although she wanted to take them away, she had no space. If she was discovered, she would be branded as a thief, which would be a big loss.

In short, her goal tonight has been achieved.

but,

Before leaving, she has to prepare a big gift. It depends on who has the chance to win the grand prize!
