Chapter 241: Chapter 242: Digging a Mouse Hole 3

Seeing this, everyone else wore surprised expressions, their gazes set on the opened mouse hole.

They thought the hole only contained peanuts but the unexpected discovery of sweet potatoes made them wonder if there were other good things inside.

Ma Xiulian then looked around warily, lowering her voice as she said, "Keep your voices down."

"Alright."

Zhou Zhaodi continued nodding his head, his face splitting into a smile like a blooming flower. He quickly tucked those sweet potatoes into his bucket.

The other men also stepped forward, each eager to dig into the earth pit.

Suddenly, a fat mouse bolted from the opening. With quick reflexes, Ma Xiulian swung down her hoe.

Then, more mice sprung out from inside.

While quickly swinging her hoe, Ma Xiulian shouted angrily, "Quickly kill all these pests, don’t let any escape!"

The rodents, their nests disturbed, squeaked angrily and began to attack members of the Chen Family.

But the Chen Family were true rural people. Instead of getting frightened, they got pumped up and waged a war on them.

Ma Xiulian, puzzled over the sight of the dead mouse bodies, asked, "What, only this many?"

The mouse hole had so much grain; it seemed odd that there were only about a dozen mice.

But who cares, the most important thing was to dig out all the food and take it home.

"Let’s keep digging!"

The Chens continued to dig the earth pit.

This pit was much deeper and larger than they had expected. Inside, they found not only peanuts and sweet potatoes, but even corn.

All this food was buried in the soil, just seeing it made their mouths water.

After a short while, the buckets they brought were already brimming full.

Before they left, who would have thought that there would be this much food. They estimated that the remaining unexcavated food could fill several more baskets.

Ma Xiulian instructed Chen Jianguo, "In a while, you three brothers take these baskets and the two buckets back first, then come back to fetch more."

The remaining food was enough to fill at least two more baskets.

No sooner had she said this, Zhou Zhaodi said cheerfully, "Mum, I have sacks!"

Ma Xiulian looked at the few large sacks in the bucket and nodded approvingly, "Good thinking."

She had to admit, her second daughter-in-law was quite resourceful when it came to food.

Being praised by her mother-in-law greatly delighted Zhou Zhaodi.

By the time they finished digging all the food and loading it into the basket, an hour had already passed.

The men each shouldered a wooden carrying pole and finally took all the food back home in one go.

Chen Jiandang, carrying a sack, chatted with his wife as he walked, "These damn mice, they actually stole so much of our food."

"Indeed!"

Zhou Zhaodi looked indignant, but could not help breaking out into a smile, "We sure did luck out today."

The harvest from this mouse hole could feed their family for about a month! This was certainly a huge boon granted by heaven.

"We found so much food in just one hole, imagine if we found a few more! Every meal at the Chen’s will be feasts then."

Upon saying that, Zhou Zhaodi turned to the monkey, and asked excitedly, "Monkey, are there any other mouse holes?

The monkey nodded again, and pointed towards a certain direction with his paw.
