  Chapter 99: Can you help me?

  "Ah?" Guihua was taken aback, looked at Cuifang's wife, and found that the other party was winking at her, she immediately understood, and hurriedly replied: "Ah, it's coming right away."

  Saying so, Guihua pulled her leg and ran towards Cuihuajie.

  Cuihua didn't move the basin, and waited until Guihua came over. She then lowered her voice and instructed Guihua to help her open the door before going in to find Liu's wife.

  Osmanthus flowers responded in a low voice, pushed open the wooden door and rushed in.

  At this time, Mrs. Liu had just coaxed Liu Riti to eat breakfast and was about to put away the bowls and chopsticks when she saw Guihua arrive. She hurriedly asked Guihua, "Guihua, have you eaten yet? If not, come and have a bite here! I made porridge for Riti this morning, but he didn't eat much, so there's still plenty left!"

  As soon as she got up in the morning, Guihua was busy with her work. She waited until her parents were not at home and then looked for silver everywhere. Where did she have time to eat? But at this moment, she wasn't hungry at all.

  "Liu Dàniáng, I'm not hungry, I won't eat anymore." Guīhuā said, turning around to look at Cuìhuājiě who was walking into the house, and hastily waved her hand at Cuìhuājiě.

  Cuihua's wife took a look and saw that someone was looking for her, so she put down the wooden basin, wiped her hands with the towel in front of her waist, and walked into the house. Only when she got inside did she ask softly: "You child, you've been muttering to yourself since early morning, what's wrong?"

  Osmanthus fragrans was also forced to have no way out, just as she stood at the door, Liu's old wife spoke to her and she had already heard the noise coming from her own courtyard, at this rate, it's likely that Xu's search of the house is not far away, if she stays here for too long, something might happen.

  As for Liu Laopo and Cuihua, Guihua was quite trusting of them. Although the seven or eight taels of silver were not a small amount, if it were really hidden somewhere outside, Cuihua would still be worried. In comparison, if the silver were temporarily stored with Cuihua, it would actually be much safer.

  "Cuihua, I have something to store with you. When my family divides the property later, can you return it to me? Is that okay?" Cuihua's cautious tone made Cuihua aunt pause for a moment, then smiled and said: "You child, what thing do you want to put in aunt's house, just say it straight, where did this polite talk come from."

  Cuihua sister said, she walked to the water tank, scooped a ladle of water and drank it with gurgling sounds.

  Osmanthus looked out the door and found no one passing by, then looked inside and saw Liu's wife coaxing Liu Riti to play, she walked mysteriously to Cuihua's side and took out the cloth package from her arms.

  "Sister-in-law, this is the seven taels of silver that my mother has managed to save with great difficulty. My grandmother has just started making trouble again, and who knows, she might come to our house to search for silver later. If this silver falls into her hands, then our family's future days will be ruined. Sister-in-law, don't laugh at me, you also know the situation in my family, my parents won't get anything good when they divide the property, so the few of us in my family are relying on these seven taels of silver to make a living. I've thought about it over and over again, and I feel that you're a reliable person, so sister-in-law, can you help me this time?"

  When she said this, Guihua had already forgotten that she was just a twelve-year-old servant girl, but Cuihua's wife hadn't.
