Chapter 5: Thank you Boss Yu!

Wu Zheng rummaged through his pockets, gesturing for Chen Yu to do the same.

The two searched all over their bodies, totaling one hundred forty-two yuan, three mao, and eight fen.

People working in the county town only earn a few dozen yuan a month, so this hundred-plus yuan was indeed a lot.

She pointed with the shovel at a paper bag Wu Zheng was carrying: “What’s that?”

“Food.” Wu Zheng immediately rummaged inside, pulling out a strawberry canned fruit: “I’m hungry. Just grabbed it from the car.”

“You have a car?”

“Mine’s two wheels.” Wu Zheng casually pointed to Chen Yu beside him: “His is four wheels.”

Shen Rongrong was silent for a moment. Even though she was afraid of strangers, she still wanted to seize this only opportunity to save Grandma.

She didn’t want to really hear that sentence, “Too late”… so she gritted her teeth, put down the shovel, and asked carefully, “Can you dig yourselves? I can ask for less money.”

The two men didn’t quite understand what she meant.

Shen Rongrong casually pointed to a few small trees where she could see a spiritual glow, and gradually puffed up her cheeks: “Too deep I… can’t dig.”

The two men exchanged a look.

Before Wu Zheng could react, Chen Yu had already started unbuttoning his shirt cuffs and rolling up his sleeves.

“No, brother.” Wu Zheng immediately raised his hand, pressing down on his wrist: “You’re going to help her dig?”

Chen Yu didn’t answer, only asked in a deep voice, “Aren’t you helping?”

He was planning to help, but…

“I already said I saw her first, I want to pursue her! You’re already engaged, get out of here!” Wu Zheng complained in a low voice, then pushed Chen Yu away and reached out to ask the girl for the shovel, “I don’t believe it, how deep can it be! I’ll do it!”

After taking the shovel, he turned back and made a gesture to Chen Yu: “No need for you to help! You just need to shut your mouth!”

They were both grown men, and Chen Yu understood his desire to show off in front of the girl he liked.

So he silently put down his cuffs, left the opportunity to him, and went to find a large rock to sit down.

After Wu Zheng realized that this girl wasn’t a thief, his attitude towards her changed even more: “Tell me, where to start digging!”

“There.”

Shen Rongrong pointed, and Wu Zheng immediately did a frog jump, squatting on the lawn and starting to frantically dig the ground with the small trowel!

Twenty minutes later.

Just as he felt like he was about to dig sparks from the soil, Chen Yu, who had wandered around somewhere, found a large iron spade.

Under the moonlight, his brother stood next to the small pit, looking down at him, without saying a word, only using his eyes to ask him use it?

Wu Zheng took a deep breath and squeezed out a smile: “Thank you, brother, hehehe…” Then he took the spade, changing from squatting on the ground to dig to bending over to dig.

Half an hour later, a pit more than half a meter deep appeared on the ground.

Another half hour, when the pit more than half a meter deep turned into almost a meter, Wu Zheng couldn’t hold on anymore.

He wiped the sweat from his face, panting and asking Shen Rongrong, “Are you sure… there’s something under here?”

Shen Rongrong nodded: “Yes. Very big!”

Yes, and very big!

At this time, Wu Zheng felt that it was strange to believe a fool, but on the other hand, he felt that since he had already believed it, he couldn’t dig this meter of soil for nothing and give the girl a bad impression of giving up halfway!

So he bit his back molars again: “Got it!”

The deeper the soil layer, the harder it was to dig. The Young Master Wu, who was usually well-fed, was almost exhausted from digging.

And Chen Yu, who had been warned to shut up and had been sitting on the side watching coldly, couldn’t stand it anymore. He got up, stepped into the pit, and patted him on the shoulder, signaling him to stand aside.

Wu Zheng once again put his hands together, silently retreated two steps, jumped out of the pit, and sat down on the ground, panting and teasing helplessly.

“Sure enough, soldiers dig faster than others.”

When the soil layer was dug to nearly one and a half meters, Shen Rongrong suddenly pointed to a corner: “There!”

Looking closely, the corner of a mahogany box was exposed from the soil.

The two men painstakingly dug it out, took it to the lawn, and pried it open with a spade… Inside was a palm-sized golden bull!

“I’ll go!” Seeing that big lump of gold, Wu Zheng secretly nudged Chen Yu beside him: “Wealth-attracting bull! Your family really has stuff!”

“Big, right?” The silly girl seemed to have known it for a long time, and stretched out her hand quite proudly: “How much can it be exchanged for?”

Chen Yu didn’t answer, only silently handed over all one hundred forty-two yuan, three mao, and eight fen from his and his brother’s pockets.

Shen Rongrong had always felt that this man’s eyes were cold and had no warmth, a little scary.

Now seeing that he kept his word, she inexplicably reduced some of her fear of him: “Thank you, Boss Yu!”

“Mm.” Chen Yu only responded… pursed his lips, and handed over Wu Zheng’s gift bag as if addicted.

With another bag of canned goods in her hand, Shen Rongrong’s eyes lit up with surprise: “For me?”

The man seemed to hate talking, only nodded again.

Immediately, she was greeted with an even more joyful and sweet tone: “Thank you Boss Yu!”

Wu Zheng next to him frowned, looking left and right, and once again poked Chen Yu with his elbow: “Hey, I bought that!”

“Wasn’t it brought for her?”

“It was… but…” He still wanted to give it himself, instead of just losing it inexplicably?

Just as he was about to complain, Shen Rongrong softly opened her mouth again: “If I tell you some~ other things’ locations… can you~ lend me the car, for a day?”

The two men raised their heads at the same time.

The one who spoke less said, “Okay.”

The one who spoke more asked, “Do you want the two-wheeled one, or the four-wheeled one? When do you need it?”

“The four-wheeled one” If it weren’t for the bottle of canned goods in her hand, Shen Rongrong wouldn’t have felt that they weren’t so scary, and plucked up the courage to borrow the car: “The sooner the better!”

The man nodded again: “Okay.”

For some reason, Shen Rongrong felt that she liked this kind of… honest, and speaking slowly and methodically, like a male snail.

While blushing a little, she also pointed out the location of the buried things by the river, and soon led them to dig out a golden cicada, two jade bracelets, and a pair of large jade balls that old people often played with in their hands.

The whole night was very fruitful.

On the way home, Shen Rongrong was thinking about taking Grandma to the hospital tomorrow, and couldn’t help but feel happy… Her steps faltered, and the canned goods that she planned to leave for Grandma suddenly fell out of the bottom of the paper bag.

It was a slope in front of the door… the can was about to roll away all the way!

“Ah” The snail exclaimed in a flustered voice!

Just as she was anxious, Chen Yu bent down neatly and scooped the can back.

The moonlight shone on him, making the white shirt even more dazzling, the collar of the shirt was open, revealing a small piece of wheat-colored skin. He picked up the can, wiped it on his body, and handed it to Shen Rongrong without saying a word.

Looking at this scene, Shen Rongrong suddenly felt a little short of breath.

He’s so fast, so charming!

Wu Zheng, on the other hand, saw her returning to the Chen family’s old house again, his curiosity exploded, and he finally couldn’t help but ask her: “By the way, what are you to this family? Do you live here?”

“Mm…” Shen Rongrong pursed her lips slightly, and pointed to the old house with some shyness: “My fiancé’s… home.”

“Fiancé?” Wu Zheng looked at the Chen family’s old courtyard that her little finger was pointing at, frowned as if he had been tricked, pulled Chen Yu to the side, lowered his voice, and questioned with gritted teeth: “Your wife?!”
