"Dad, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me." Jin Weiwei stepped forward and asked, "You're talking about this wilderness, why did you come here all by yourself?"

Jin Dabao was momentarily at a loss for words. He didn't know how to answer.

It turned out that that day in the woodshed, when Jin Dabao heard Jin Weiwei mention that it was her birthday and that she was going to burn incense in the All An Temple to ensure her safety, he had already made up his mind to come with her. Therefore, when Jin Wei and little Fugui went out in the morning, he had followed behind her all the way.

When he saw that Jin Weiwei also bought a candied fruits and stood next to the water tank, he was reminded of the past, so he ran to the forest behind the temple with the intention of giving it a try. He found the old pine tree and began to dig.

Originally, he didn't have much hope, because last year he had dug up a lot of money from here, saying it was Jinwei's dowry. But unexpectedly, not only did this dig up money, it was also a huge amount of money. A full thousand taels!

Jin Dabao was stupefied as he looked at the bright and white silver taels. With this money, why would he need to think of a way to deal with Jin Weiwei? Go to hell with all the Jin family butchers, he was going to take the money to have a good time.

Unfortunately, before his daydreaming had even begun, he had already been attacked and fainted. When he woke up again, all the silver was gone. The feeling of falling from heaven to hell was too painful for him!

Pow!

A resounding slap landed on Jin Dabao's face.

"Why did you hit me?" Jin Dabao covered his face and looked at Jin Weiwei in confusion. He didn't understand why she suddenly slapped him.

Jin Weiwei pretended to be innocent as she said, "I saw that you kept asking the wrong questions, so I thought you were scared silly again, so I wanted to wake you up."

At this moment, a gust of wind blew through the forest, and the leaves rustled. It sounded like a low whistle, causing one's eardrums to vibrate.

When Jin Dabao heard what kind of damned thing Jin Weiwei was talking about, he felt a cold shiver down his spine for some reason. He still had some lingering fear from seeing the ghost lady in the middle of the night. He didn't even dare to think about her.

"I'm fine, I'm fine. Let's quickly leave this place." Jin Dabao staggered to his feet. Since the silver had disappeared, he did not want to stay in such a gloomy place.

How could Jin Weiwei let him go so easily? Someone had to give her an explanation for the series of strange happenings that had transpired today. The fat monk's Qing Gong was good. If she couldn't stop him, then wouldn't she be able to stop Jin Dabao?

"Dad, why are you in such a hurry to leave?" Jin Weiwei grabbed Jin Dabao. "What were you looking for?" "Why do I hear you keep on calling me silver?"

Jin Dabao smiled embarrassedly. He was about to lie and fool around when he heard a rough male voice by his ear say, "Tell me the truth, or else you will face the consequences."

This was not the voice of little rich kids.

Jin Dabao quickly looked at Xiao Fugui, only to see him standing there with his hands behind his back. He didn't even open his mouth or say anything.

Could this sound be made by a ghost?

"Hurry up and tell me everything. Otherwise, I won't forgive you." The male voice continued to threaten him.

"Alright, alright. I'll speak, I'll speak …" Jin Dabao was scared out of his wits. His knees went weak and he kneeled on the ground, begging, "I will tell you everything."

Jin Weiwei looked at Jin Dabao's frightened expression and found it strange. But since Jin Dabao was going to tell her the whole truth, she didn't want to interrupt him.

Thus, Jin Dabao told them everything that had happened.

So all of this had been arranged by Jin Weiwei's dead mother.

Before Jin Weiwei's mother passed away, she had instructed Jin Dabao to come to the All An Temple to burn incense every year on Jin Weiwei's birthday, and to buy her a candied fruit gourd to eat. Then, he could dig out a sum of silver from under the hundred-year-old pine tree in the forest behind the temple to pay for Jin Weiwei's living expenses.

Perhaps it was because Jin Weiwei's mother knew that Jin Dabao was an extravagant person, so in the past ten years, she only allowed him to dig out a portion of the money every year, just enough for Jin Weiwei to eat and wear for a year.

Until last year, when Jin Weiwei turned 15 years old, Jin Dabao had suddenly dug up a lot of money from under a tree. There was even a note inside, stating in black and white that the money was given to Jin Weiwei as a dowry.

However, Jin Dabao was not someone who kept his word. Thus, he tore off the note and took the money for himself. Then, he took the money and ran away with Widow Chen.

After hearing the whole story, Jin Weiwei finally understood why Jin Dabao would bring her to the temple to burn incense on his birthday after clearly hating her so much. At that time, the original owner thought that Jin Dabao was doing this because his father was kind enough to buy her candied fruits.

"Then why didn't you bring me to burn incense this year?" Jin Weiwei asked.

"Didn't I already dig up a large amount of silver last year?" Jin Dabao replied awkwardly, "The board says that the money will be your dowry. I was thinking that a silly girl like you, you're not beautiful at all, and you don't even know how to use zither, chess, calligraphy, or painting. How could you possibly get married out? So we're probably not going to have any more money this year... But I never would have thought that your mother would really care about you. She actually left money for you this year! "

At this point, Jin Dabao pounded his chest, and put on a heartbroken look, "It's just a pity that some little thief knocked me out, and the silver disappeared as well."

Seeing this, Jin Weiwei did not intend to tell Jin Dabao the truth. She deliberately walked over to the hole in front of the pine tree and asked, "Is the silver you were talking about in this hole? How many are there? "

Jin Dabao wiped his tears and said, "It's right here. It's worth at least a thousand taels. A thousand taels!"

"What?" "A thousand silver?" "My mother left me a thousand taels, and you actually let someone else take that from me?"

Jin Dabao nodded dejectedly. When it came to heartache, he was not the least bit less than Jin Weiwei.

"What do you think I need you for!?" I haven't even seen a shadow of such a large sum of money. "If it wasn't for your bad intentions and the fact that you wanted to take this money, the three of us would have dug it up together. How would we let someone else snatch it away?" Jin Weiwei kept berating him.

Jin Dabao knew that he was in the wrong. At the same time, he was afraid of that ghostly voice from before, so no matter what Jin Weiwei said to him, he just kept his head down.

After cursing for a long time, Jin Weiwei was finally tired of it. In addition, she had been tormenting herself for more than half a day. It was already getting late, so Jin Weiwei decided to go home first.
