Chapter 253: Chapter 254: Thunderstruck 1

Upon hearing this, everyone surged forward, snapping up the swarm of rats in the blink of an eye.

Zhao Mancao, seeing this, felt relieved. After transporting the grain back, he planned to ask the old team leader to distribute the food to everyone tomorrow. He also intended to make a trip to the town to report the incident.

After dealing with the stockpile of grain, the three brothers of the Chen family each went back to their rooms to rest.

Thinking about all the grain that had been stored in the community’s storage, Li Chunhua complained to Chen Jianye with tears in her eyes: "All that grain...they’re the ones who profited from it. If only we had decided to dig it up ourselves that day. We would have our storage filled by now."

As soon as she started talking, she pulled on the wound in her mouth, causing her to cry out in pain.

Chen Jianye also felt disappointed. Still, as a son, he was obliged to obey his parents, regardless of what they said.

So, he said, "We have stockpiled a considerable amount of grain at home, enough for us to eat."

"Who doesn’t want more grain!"

Li Chunhua, eyes wide, ignored the intense pain and retorted furiously: "We were the ones who found all this grain, it should have been ours. Why the hell should they get to benefit from it?"

"Enough, it’s too late to say anything now."

Chen Jianye, who was tormented by her complaints, said: "We’ve been at this all night. Let’s go to sleep."

"My mouth hurts too much to sleep."

As Li Chunhua spoke hurriedly, she accidentally bit her lower lip, and the pain made her burst into tears: "That damned rat, it was too easy getting killed like that."

Chen Jianye, extremely tired, replied while yawning: "Okay, okay, it’s dead now. Let’s sleep, we have to get up and work tomorrow."

Having said that, he turned over with his head facing inward, not wanting to hear any more of her complaints.

The family next door, although also regretting the loss of the grain, didn’t voice any grievances.

This couple were honest folks. They didn’t have much cunning, and knew contentment.

Moreover, they had dug out so much grain from the rat’s hole; it was enough for their large family to be well-fed.

They simply sighed: "These rats really are a menace. Just our community alone has lost so much grain."

The scene in the second room was quite different.

Chen Jiandang, with a proud face, praised his wife: "Wife, how did you become so smart? Guessing right away that we were the ones who released the news about the rat hole!"

Zhou Zhaodi, looking smug, replied, "Indeed, I’m almost as good as your mother."

Chen Jiandang, chuckling, replied: "Yes, yes, being able to marry such a smart wife must have been due to the great merit I accumulated in my previous life!"

The next morning, while having breakfast, Ma Xiulian steamed a whole pot of sweet potatoes and said magnanimously: "Today, we can eat these sweet potatoes freely."

She knew her sons and daughters-in-law were upset, so she made a large pot of sweet potatoes to appease them.

The sweet potato was fragrant as soon as it was torn open. Taking a bite, it was both sticky and sweet.

It was much tastier compared to the sweet potato cakes made with coarse grains!

So everyone, regardless of whether it was hot or not, peeled it and sent it straight to their mouths.

The soft taste exploded on the tongue, and both adults and children ate with a satisfied look on their faces.

Li Chunhua, eager to eat, was peeling the sweet potato, but accidentally touched her lower lip when taking a bite, immediately causing her face to twist in pain.

Her eyes filled with tears, feeling both aggrieved and angry.
