Chapter 1058: Chapter 1058: Spending Money on Grain 2

Lu Jiang stood rooted to the spot, intending to ask his father what he knew, but the latter had already pretended to start snoring.

When Feng Qingxue heard Lu Jiang describe the situation upon his return, she couldn’t help but say, "Dad has already spoken to this extent, it’s not just that he suspects something, he has practically guessed the truth. Ajiang, I think we have no need to hide it from him any longer!"

"So we tell him? But if we tell the old man, it adds another risk," Lu Jiang scratched his head, obviously troubled.

Having a father who is too clever can be quite embarrassing, as there is very little you can hide from his piercing gaze.

After careful consideration, Feng Qingxue spoke in a low voice, "Since we are a family, and Dad is our Sea-God’s Needle, let’s be honest with him, revealing only the space, and not the matter of ’borrowing a corpse to resurrect the soul.’ This latter secret should only be known by the two of us, forever kept in our bellies, not to be leaked even the slightest bit."

Lu Jiang was taken aback, "Qingxue, you..."

He knew better than anyone how secretive his wife was, keeping their own secrets tightly guarded.

"The things in the cellar need to be moved out, and then we have to carry some grain back in. There will definitely be a lot of movement going in and out, and we’ll both end up wasting time and energy. You also said that Dad is not an outsider. Would he go about spreading our secret for all to know? That would be akin to seeking death for our entire family. We just need to warn him not to tell a fourth person," she said.

Lu Jiang complained, "Why, tell me, does Dad have to be so clever? Can’t he just be an ordinary old man who muddles through his later years without a care?"

Feng Qingxue said unceremoniously, "If Dad heard you say that, he would surely hit you over the head with a stick, and it would serve you right for not being a filial son! Without our dad, would our family be where it is today? You used to be so impulsive, with such a one-track mind!"

"That’s true, a clever father is better. A clever father will surely know what should be said and what should not," Lu Jiang conceded.

Lu Jiang was also very worried that after he and his wife left, the family food supply wouldn’t be sufficient and the elders would have to scrimp and save. In fact, without any side dishes, the little food they had was nowhere near enough to fill their stomachs.

"Alright then, we’ll tell only Dad and no one else can be the fourth person," said Lu Jiang.

Feng Qingxue nodded slightly, "Tomorrow, I’ll sew some large cloth bags with the sewing machine. It’ll be tough on you to fill the bags with rice and flour, and to clean some jars and pots to avoid our original packaging giving anything away to Dad."

"Okay!" This detail was crucial.

In the latter half of the next night, standing in the cellar which had been opened to the wind, Lu Jiang’s father nodded after listening to his son and daughter-in-law, "A vast space within the sleeve, an endless time within the jug. I had suspected that Xiaoxue might possess an item like a space-hiding treasure. Heaven truly favours the Lu Family, to have Xiaoxue bring such a treasure into our home, changing the destinies of the Lu Family and countless others."

Then, he admonished, "A divine boon, so mysteriously obtained. The two of you are young and unaware of the evil in people’s hearts. This matter must from now on rot in your bellies, never to be disclosed to a fourth person, including your own children."

"Rest assured, Dad, we wouldn’t have considered telling you if it weren’t for the need to store some grain and move out wealth," they said.

Lu Jiang’s father gave his son a stern look but noticed that he was speaking while opening a small rosewood inlaid box.
