Chapter 243: Chapter 244: Digging a Mouse Hole 5

Ma Xiulian glanced at the impatient expressions on everyone’s faces and calmly said, "We’re not in a rush. Let’s wait a couple more days."

At this statement, everyone looked surprised and confused.

Li Chunhua, not believing what she just heard, gestured dramatically and shouted, "Mom, what are you saying? We’ve lucked out on such a great opportunity, while there are still other rat holes, we should quickly gather all the grain and take them back."

She even planned to ignore her physical condition and go with them to carry the grain tomorrow night.

Chen Jianye agreed, nodding, "Yeah, we should quickly gather all that grain and take it back. If someone else discovers the rat hole, wouldn’t we be at a huge loss?"

Looking at the anxiously fretting couple, Zhou Zhaodi’s gaze shifted and he said, "Mom must have another idea, so we should trust her."

The silent Chen elder knocked his tobacco pipe and sternly said, "This matter is up to your mother."

Once he spoke, Li Chunhua did not dare to argue further. However, she was grumbling in her heart.

She thought, "Mom and Dad are really being foolish. What are they waiting for? We should quickly gather the grain!"

Ma Xiulian stood up and said, "It’s not late, everyone should go to bed."

However, she herself went into the kitchen, and as she walked, she told Chen Dazhu, "Old man, you should also wipe off your sweat."

In this hot summer, even at night, moving around makes one sweat, let alone after they’d been bustling around half the night.

Their clothes were soaked with sweat, which smelled awful. She couldn’t let the smell affect her beloved Guibao.

Chen Dazhu knew his granddaughter liked cleanliness, so he silently followed his wife into the kitchen without making a sound.

The others didn’t mind the sweat and each returned to their rooms.

The monkey secretly sneaked into Helian Qiao’s room, walked carefully to the head of the bed and saw the sleeping wolf pup suddenly open its eyes, full of vigilance.

When it saw the monkey, the vigilance in its eyes faded and it became harmless again.

The monkey gingerly stretched out its hand and tickled the pup’s head. There was an unexpected tenderness in its eyes as if it were an elder caring for a child.

The small wolf pup began to make contented, soft sounds.

After a moment, the monkey heard movement outside the room, gave a squeak to the wolf pup, then turned and left.

It didn’t plan to take his friend’s child back to the mountains because it was too small and completely defenseless.

After all, no alpha wolf would allow a white wolf, destined to become a king, to grow up, except for its deceased father, the previous alpha wolf.

Although the new alpha and its followers were dead, there were still more than a dozen wolves left in the mountains. The little wolf would undoubtedly be attacked once it returned.

So, keeping it by the terrible Great Demon King was actually safer; the other wolves wouldn’t dare come again.

Ma Xiulian, seeing the monkey leave, made no move to stop him. She figured she’d buy a bundle of bananas for it as a thank-you gift when she went to town tomorrow.

The three brothers, who had long returned to their rooms, had no intentions of sleeping and were whispering to each other.

Li Chunhua and Chen Jianye complained in a low voice, "Do you think Mom and Dad are being foolish? With so much grain, instead of gathering it quickly, they’re saying we should wait. What if someone else picks it up? Won’t we be at a major loss then?"
