Chapter 240: Chapter 241: Digging a Mouse Hole 2

Zhao Mei asked with a somewhat pale face, "Is there another wolf coming down?"

Hearing this, the others felt their hearts skip a beat, showing nervous expressions on their faces, fearing the monkey would nod.

Luckily, the monkey shook its head, denying this speculation.

Seeing this, the old Chen family set their minds at ease.

Zhou Zhaodi suddenly had a moment of inspiration and said, "Could it be thinking of leading us to the place where peanuts are hidden?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the monkey immediately started shouting again and even nodded its head.

This time, the old Chen family understood, the monkey indeed wanted to lead them to the place where the peanuts were hidden.

They were stunned at first, then all showed expressions of surprise and joy.

Peanuts are a good thing!

They smell great when roasted!

If they really find peanuts, their snacks will be sorted.

So Zhou Zhaodi couldn’t wait to ask, "Are there many peanuts?"

"Squee, squee, squee!" The monkey nodded its head three times.

To the people of the Chen family, it was like hearing: many! many! many!

Even Chen Jianguo couldn’t help but speak up: "Mum, let’s go and collect all the peanuts quickly!"

The others also couldn’t wait to go, after last night’s event, they didn’t doubt at all that the monkey was fooling them.

What an intelligent little creature!

But Ma Xiulian wasn’t in a hurry. She pondered for a while and asked, "Are the peanuts in a rat hole?"

Out of all the animals, only those damn rats would steal food from the fields and the house.

"Squee, squee!" the monkey nodded, confirming it was indeed a rat hole.

So Ma Xiulian mobilised everyone: "Get your tools, let’s empty out all the rat holes! Let’s kill the rats and eat them too!"

"Ay!"

The family cheered. Some picked up shovels, some took hoes, others took baskets.

Zhou Zhaodi even took several large sacks, for fear that there wouldn’t be enough.

Helian Qiao fluttered her big eyes, sounding babyish :"Mommy, I want to go too."

Little Princess didn’t want to go catch rats to eat, because rats were too ugly.

She wasn’t interested in peanuts, she simply wanted to join in the fun.

Ma Xiulian squatted down and gently touched her little head, gently coaxing her: "Mommy will be back soon, Guibao wait at home for Mommy, if you feel sleepy, go to bed, okay?"

Although it was not completely dark outside, with the moonlight to guide the way, she couldn’t guarantee that wild boars or wolves wouldn’t appear, she dared not take her precious granddaughter with her.

"Okay."

Helian Qiao obediently and meekly nodded her head.

"Good girl."

Ma Xiulian stood up, and instructed Zhao Mei and Li Chun, "Elder daughter-in-law, you and the wife of the third son stay home to look after the children."

Then, a group of people followed the monkey out of the house in a grand manner.

They didn’t talk as they walked down the road, for fear that if they were seen by other people in the commune, they wouldn’t be able to dig out the rat hole anymore.

If they were discovered when they came back, it would be even worse, they’d have to hand over all the grains.

The family followed the monkey all the way to the edge of the village. Only then did the monkey stop, ran over, moved away some bushes, and pointed at a small opening in the ground and started shouting to them.

"This must be a rat hole!"

Ma Xiulian immediately raised her hoe and began to dig at that spot, after a few continuous digs, some big sweet potatoes rolled out of the earth that was being dug up.

Zhou Zhaodi immediately went to pick up the sweet potatoes, wiped the dirt off with her sleeve, and excitedly shouted, "These sweet potatoes are so well preserved!"
