Rebirth in the 60s: A Path to Counterattack

Chapter 17 - 017. Treasure, Concealment



"Hey! You girls really have keen instincts and quick minds. Little Sis, your idea is spot on!" Liu Shouyi slapped his thigh and gave Shuzhen a big thumbs up.

"I say, brother, let’s get started right now. We two brothers can take turns. It’s just a pit two or three meters deep, not much at all. If we start now, it should be done by dawn. The earlier we prepare the place, the sooner we can safely stash these golden bombs. If even a little bit gets exposed, our whole family won’t have good days ahead!"

"Alright, we’ll go dig the pit, Little Sis you go to bed. I’ve already tidied up Mom and Dad’s room for you."

With so many valuable items, unless handled well, Liu Shouren also felt his heart pounding uneasily. So he decided to dig the pit overnight with his second brother, and once things are settled, they’d have some peace of mind. Tomorrow, they could build a heated kang over the two-three meter deep treasure spot, ensuring complete safety.

Besides the cleverness and wit of Little Sis, what Liu Shouren was most thankful for was that their old father had taken great care to protect ancient books and paintings. The old family items had been tightly wrapped with the roofing paper prepared for home renovations, ensuring no problems.

Liu Shouren pondered with some uncertainty, but he really had no better solution.

Seeing the two brothers getting ready to roll up their sleeves, Shuzhen hurriedly stopped them: "No rush, missing a moment won’t matter. After a day and a half of bustling, don’t we need a good rest? If we’re run down, it might raise suspicions too!"

"Suspect what? I just got divorced and feel terrible. Pulling brother along for a drink, we ended up drunkenly asleep. It’s normal to laze around in bed for a while, isn’t it? Don’t worry, Little Sis, it won’t arouse suspicion, and we won’t tire ourselves out. But you, with one still in your tummy..."

"Alright then, you two get busy, and I’ll cook something up in the kitchen. After you’re done, you can eat and rest while fully committing to the act. Also, don’t just bury those paintings and such in a tiny box; use my pair of redwood dowry chests. Later, Second Brother can find a chance to discard or chop up the heated table, desk, and stool for firewood, claiming it grieves me to see those things, preventing any suspicions!"

Not wanting to hear more about cherishing the one in her tummy from her elder brother, Shuzhen hastily gave a few instructions before heading to the kitchen, flashlight in hand, not even noticing the complexity in the eyes of Liu Shouren and Liu Shouyi.

For this half bloodline of Chen Shimei, who’d undoubtedly affect their sister’s future marriage prospects, how could these uncles muster any expectation or affection?

They feared the misfortune of a double fatality might befall their sister and dared not consider the possibility of an abortion.
