The two guards brought Madam Zhao to dig for the silver under the moonlight. Little Bear, who was very interested in the ways the commoners hid silver, followed behind excitedly.
Perhaps because he had seen Mother Zhang's favoritism and his younger brother's shamelessness, Zhang Dazhu did not dare to hide the silver at home. Instead, he hid it in his fields.
The 20 acres of freehold field that the Imperial Court gave him were divided into several plots. In one of the fields which was only the size of a table, there was a pile of hard rocks.
As the good fields nearby had been divided up due to his late return, this piece of land was given to him.
Before he passed away, Zhang Dazhu had reminded Madam Zhao that he had hidden the money here.
Madam Zhao had long made up her mind to only use this money when her daughter got married. Because she had never touched the silver here in the past two years, she really did not know how much money there was.
