Divorce with three kids? I'll build a house and eat meat, driving my in-laws crazy.

Chapter 185 Let You Enter Our Chen Family Ancestral Tomb

It took Chen Jingang a long time to get up from the ground. He glanced in the direction the crowd had left and spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm mixed with blood.

"Pah, the person is already dead, what's the point of saving them?"

That's what he said, but he couldn't rest easy until he saw the bodies of Li Ruru and her family.

Chen Jingang went inside and told the rest of the Chen family the news.

The Chen family erupted in excitement, with everyone's face beaming with joy.

Feng Yuzhu spoke first: "Let's go over there quickly. Although the house has collapsed, there are still things inside that can be dug out and used."

Everyone realized this as well, and they naturally knew that what she was talking about was silver.

Everyone was very interested; nothing could unite the Chen family except for money.

Zhao shouted, "What are you all standing there for? Grab your weapons!"

They need to hurry, or the others from Chenjia Village will get there first.

She knew that Li Ruru had made a lot of money selling konjac tofu, and that money was definitely not in a bank; it must be in the house.

Everyone carried their tools and marched to the door in a grand procession.

Before leaving, Zhao turned around and instructed, "Remember, everyone dig towards the main house; the silver should be hidden there."

Everyone nodded.

Zhao added, "Also, in order to avoid others noticing anything amiss, everyone should act as if they are sad. After all, that Li was once Sanbao's wife, and she is my Chen family's daughter-in-law."

Hearing this, Zhang Junniang burst out laughing. She pushed Zhao Shi away and said, "Mother, stop dawdling. The most important thing is to hurry up and dig for money."

As she spoke, she pushed open the door and was the first to rush into the rain.

The first and second wives followed closely behind; they couldn't let the third wife snatch such a good opportunity.

The whole family rushed out like a swarm of bees, and Zhao Shi and Chen Bingxiao, unable to compete with their children, fell behind.

The two cursed and swore, "They're both vying to be reincarnated."

After scolding them, he quickly followed them. Digging for silver was more important than being reborn.

The Chen family hadn't been this happy in a long time. Even Chen Huaidi was jumping around with joy, holding a small shovel and carrying a small basket.

The large crowd soon arrived at Li Ruru's house.

The village head sighed heavily when he saw the collapsed house.

Although the rain had been falling for a long time, he had seen families with no food or drink, borrowing food and drink from others, and even borrowing firewood to burn.

I've also seen houses that leak when it rains, so wet that there's nowhere to sleep.

But I've never seen anyone's house destroyed by a rainstorm.

This is the first time such a thing has happened in Chenjia Village, and it is rare in the surrounding villages as well.

Especially Li Ruru's house, which is a brick house, not a thatched hut.

This shouldn't be the case.

After the village head sighed, a series of doubts followed.

He saw the remnants of the embankment in front of Li Ruru's house, and his heart skipped a beat.

This is... this is someone secretly plotting something?!

No wonder!

He glanced at the crowd; everyone had a tense expression on their face, and he couldn't figure out what was going on.

He cleared his throat and said, "Everyone, hurry up and help dig. Saving lives is the priority."

We'll talk about the rest later.

Lu Da, the Hai family, and the Pan Dayan family scattered.

Lu Da and Hai Shi dug up the kitchen and a few houses near the entrance, while the others dug up the location of the main house.

As Pan Dayan dug, she called out Li Ruru's name: "Ruru, Ruru, where are you? Don't scare me!"

She recalled that on her two previous visits to her home, she had seen the drain that was not draining water.

If I had brought it up more seriously back then, Li Ruru might have repaired the canal long ago, and her house wouldn't have collapsed.

Pan Dayan was unaware of He Dajiao's vicious behavior, and only thought that she had not done well enough, so she felt regretful and upset.

As she dug, she suddenly burst into tears.

The atmosphere was oppressive. When she cried, the others also began to wipe away their tears. An old woman from the Hai family shouted, "Stop crying! She's not dead, what are you all crying for?"

She couldn't believe that Li Ruru would be so unlucky as to be crushed to death.

She didn't believe that someone as smart as Li Ruru would be completely oblivious to the danger.

Why doesn't she take the children and hide somewhere else?

Everyone tried their best to hold back their sobs and stood on the ruins, silently digging.

Soon, many things were unearthed.

The kitchen had a flattened basket, the room had a worn-out mattress, and even Qiqi's dog bowl.

The yard was filled with odds and ends.

The torrential rain continued, soaking everyone to the bone, yet it showed no signs of stopping.

Chu Xiu, Xiao Wu, and Bai Lu had no tools, so they dug with their hands, and the three of them were soon covered in mud.

Bai Lu's hands, which hadn't done any work, were blistered, and her long nails were broken and mangled.

All three of them dug until their hands bled, but they couldn't find a single person.

Xiao Wu looked at Chu Xiu with teary eyes, and Chu Xiu gave him a big slap.

"Don't cry, it's a good thing they didn't find anyone."

He comforted Xiao Wu, and in doing so, he comforted himself.

Not finding anyone is both a good thing and a bad thing.

A person either lives or is buried deep.

Chu Xiu refused to accept the painful reality, a voice inside him kept telling him: Li Ruru is not dead! She couldn't possibly be dead!

Just then, a cry suddenly came from afar.

The crying grew louder as it approached, rising and falling in waves.

Hai was furious and cursed, "Which son of a bitch is crying again? If anything happens to Aru, I won't let you off the hook."

The surroundings were deathly silent, with only the sound of the torrential rain.

Zhao was crying for a while, but then she got stuck, unsure whether to cry or not.

She was very wary of Hai Shi; her third sister-in-law was someone she couldn't afford to offend.

The old lady looks kind, but she's actually quite fierce and has a whole repertoire of ways to discipline people.

Back when the family hadn't split up yet, Zhao was often bullied by Hai.

She moved her lips slightly and whispered, "My daughter-in-law is dead, and I'm not even allowed to cry?"

Hess turned his head to look into the crowd and finally saw the Chen family members who had arrived late.

She walked quickly through the downpour with her little feet, and rushed up to Zhao Shi, asking, "What did you just say? I didn't hear you clearly, say it again."

Hai was a head taller than Zhao, that short, stout woman, and her presence was also more imposing.

Zhao whispered again, "The person is dead, what's the use of saying these things now?"

After she finished speaking, she burst into tears. Upon receiving the signal that she had started crying, her three daughters-in-law also began to wail.

Zhang Junniang looked up at the sky and sighed, "Li Shi, why did you leave like this? You worked so hard your whole life but never gave birth to a son. How pitiful."

Not to be outdone, Wang Shuixia cried and then slapped her thigh, saying, "Third sister-in-law, why did you leave so suddenly?"
You were saying just the day before yesterday that you'd use all your money to support your son's studies for the imperial examinations. Now you're just leaving like this, what will happen to your nephew?

Feng Yuzhu touched her belly and sobbed, "Third sister-in-law, you said yesterday that you would give Huaidi a generous dowry and buy a longevity lock made of gold for my unborn child."

Now you're leaving like this, what am I going to do? Waaaaah…

Zhao then launched into a tirade of tears, pounding her chest and stamping her feet: "Third son's wife, it's all my fault."

You said before that you were willing to go back to Shanbao's side and be a child again, but your mother didn't agree.

I promise you now, no matter what, you will always be my good daughter-in-law.

"Go in peace, your mother will definitely arrange for you to be buried in our Chen family ancestral grave."

The four women cried at varying degrees, each with the same purpose.

They wanted money, lots of money, all of Li Ruru's assets.
