Chapter 249: Chapter 250: Bitten by a Rat 3

However, the rest of the old Chen family was dumbfounded.

They had snuck out at night to dig for the grain, so if anyone had seen them, news would have spread yesterday.

It would be foolish for a family member to share such secret outside, yet how could the news spread so quickly, as if it had grown legs?

Li Chunhua, with a darkened face, mumbled angrily: "Who the damn big-mouth revealed this? We should be the ones to benefit from this grain. Now, even the remainder in the rat holes will be targeted by others."

Zhao Mei stood next to her, nervously fiddling with her hoe stick.

Except for the Chen family, only her maternal family and her brother-in-law’s family knew about the grain in the rat holes.

Although her family promised not to tell anyone, she worried that someone might have seen them digging last night and spilled the beans.

If her maternal family leaked the information, her in-laws, even her husband would blame her.

Compared to Zhao Mei, Zhou Zhaodi, who also informed her maternal family, was calm.

She went with her maternal family to dig for grain last night and was quite confident that no one saw them.

Even if her maternal family were loose-lipped, it was impossible for the news to reach their commune in such a short time.

After all, it took two whole hours to travel between the two communes!

Moreover, the news spread too fast, as if someone deliberately wanted the whole commune to know.

Thinking of this, Zhou Zhaodi, seeing that people were quite far away, leaned towards her husband’s ear and said in a low voice, "I suspect our mother is the one who leaked this news in the commune."

Chen Jiandang shook his head like a rattle-drum upon hearing this, "Impossible, our mother isn’t that stupid!"

That was his own mother, the most clever person he knew. Why would she make such a mistake?!

"Just listen to me first,"

Zhou Zhaodi started to analyze seriously: "For so many years, no one in our area knew that the rat holes had so much grain. If not for Monkey Uncle, our Chen family wouldn’t have known either. So it means that either someone from our Chen family, sister-in-law’s maternal family, or my maternal family leaked the news or someone saw us but whoever it was, they must have gone sneaky while digging in the rat holes, who would announce it to the whole commune? And do you still remember, mother didn’t let us dig for grain the last two nights? She must have already planned this."

Although she didn’t understand why her mother-in-law would divulge this, her mother-in-law was smart, she must have her reasons for doing so.

Chen Jianye still didn’t believe it, "It’s definitely not from us!"

A couple sleeping in the same bed can have completely different views on something.

"Never mind, you wouldn’t understand even if I explain,"

Zhou Zhaodi sighed resignedly. Although her husband was a bit slow, he was good-natured and often listened to her advice.

When they returned home from work in the afternoon, Li Chunhua started cursing wildly, "I don’t know who the son of a bitch is who spread the news, now the whole commune knows there’s grain in the rat hole! Great, now there goes our Chen family’s grain!"
