Chu Yue had made up her mind the moment she saw Li Jinhua.

Li Jinhua accepted the hundred yuan, so naturally she had to return it.

Li Jinhua is a narrow-minded person who is obsessed with money. What she likes most is to take advantage of others and get something for nothing. If such a person has a hundred yuan, he will definitely feel uneasy no matter where he puts it, for fear that it will be stolen, discovered by others, or even more lost.

Instead of living in fear all the time, it is better to keep the money on yourself so that you can feel the presence of the money at all times.

Song Qi had always been following Lu Zhanlin and was used to following orders. He didn't expect that the person giving orders would be Chu Yue. He didn't feel uncomfortable at all and immediately did as Chu Yue said and held Li Jinhua down so that she couldn't struggle.

"What are you going to do? You damn girl, what are you going to do? My son is Zhou Zhijian, he is also a soldier! He is the company commander! What are you going to do to his mother? I tell you, I am not afraid of you-"

No matter what Li Jinhua screamed, Chu Yue didn't care. She lifted up Li Jinhua's cotton coat and reached directly into her innermost clothes.

Touch left and right, and choose the corners of clothes where you can hide the most.

After a while, Chu Yue had touched the extra inner pocket sewn inside Li Jinhua's clothes. She grabbed the fabric and tore it off.

"Ah-ah-my money! That's my money!"

When Li Jinhua saw that the money was lost, she screamed even louder. On the one hand, her hands were injured, and on the other hand, she was held down tightly by Song Qi, so she couldn't struggle free. She could only swing her feet, trying to kick Chu Yue.

Even so, Chu Yue was faster than her. Before Li Jinhua raised her foot, Chu Yue stepped on her cotton shoes and pressed them down tightly.

"ah--"

"Tsk, why is it only fifty dollars?"

Li Jinhua's miserable screams and Chu Yue's dissatisfied voice were heard at the same time. No one was worried about Li Jinhua, and everyone looked at the money in Chu Yue's hand.

Chu Yue handed the fifty yuan to Lu Zhanlin first and asked Lu Zhanlin to take it. Since fifty yuan was found from her upper body, the other fifty yuan must be on her pants.

There was a second body search immediately.

I don’t know if Li Jinhua has taken a shower. It’s really dirty to touch such an old woman. She must wash her hands thoroughly after returning home.

Soon, Chu Yue took out the other half of the money from the pocket in the slit of Li Jinhua's pants.

It’s a pity that it’s not fifty yuan, but only forty-seven yuan.

After Li Jinhua got the money, she thought that today was New Year's Eve and she should eat and drink well, so she had already spent three yuan to buy meat.

There was a shortfall of the hundred yuan, but luckily Chu Yue still had some money on her. All in all, it was definitely more than three yuan. She didn't count it and just put all the money together and handed it all to the middle-aged man.

"Take this money, it's definitely more than a hundred dollars. Can we take the child away now?"

The middle-aged man watched the whole process of how they found the money from Li Jinhua. He was shocked and frightened. After calming down, he dared not say a word. He didn't even count the money and just nodded.

Chu Yue breathed a sigh of relief and looked back at Wang Chunling, "Sister Chunling, we can take Nuan Yang home now."

Wang Chunling held her child in her arms, tears welling up in her eyes. She cried with gratitude, "Thank you... Thank you, let's go home... Let's go home..."

The child who had been crying loudly in this room before, after returning to Wang Chunling's arms, perhaps because he felt the familiar breath of his mother, actually cried and fell asleep with tears in his eyes. Now, his little face was leaning on Wang Chunling's chest with grievance.

Chu Yue turned around and looked at Lu Zhanlin with bright eyes, "Let's go."

Lu Zhanlin has always been the strongest support among them. Chu Yue rushed to the front, and Lu Zhanlin protected everyone.

After a whole night of tossing and turning, this unique New Year's Eve seemed to come to an end here.

For Lu Zhanlin, this night was not just the most important New Year's Eve of the year, but also the most important wedding night in his life. The warm quilt was gone, and instead there were gusts of cold wind and snowflakes blowing on his body.

It's more than just miserable. If Xu Feng knew about this, he would definitely laugh at him for the rest of his life.

However, contrary to everyone's expectations, Chu Yue's New Year's Eve was far from over.

After they walked out of the middle-aged man's house, they unexpectedly met...

"Sister Song, why are you here?"

Chu Yue suddenly saw Song Hongmei, late at night on such a special day. How could she not be surprised? Her eyes were stunned.

Their two families were neighbors. Chu Yue hadn't heard any noise from Song Hongmei's house next door for several days and thought that Song Hongmei had gone to the city to celebrate the New Year with her children.

Who would have thought that Song Hongmei not only did not go to the city, but was in such a mountain cave, and was in a hurry late at night.

Song Qi explained first, "After we separated just now, I went to the other side of the village and happened to meet Sister Song."

Song Hongmei was busy at the time and asked Song Qi a few simple questions, but the situation was too complicated and Song Qi couldn't explain it clearly for a while, so he just said that Lu Zhanlin had also come and it was an order.

Even Lu Zhanlin was there, and Song Hongmei realized that it must be a serious matter.

She had urgent things to do, so she didn't come along. She dealt with some things first and came a little late.

Song Hongmei looked at Chu Yue, then at Lu Zhanlin, then at Wang Chunling whose eyes were red from crying, and the child she brought out in the cold weather, and couldn't help but sigh.

Although Song Qi didn't say anything, Song Hongmei had participated in the revolution and done mass work for decades, so it was impossible for her not to know about the conflict between Wang Chunling and Li Jinhua. In addition, other villagers had said before that "it was said that the blacksmith's family at the west end of the village bought a child back."

With just one simple sentence, everything is connected.

Song Hongmei looked at Chu Yue and asked, "Is everything resolved?"

"Well, it's all resolved. Sister Song, don't worry, nothing serious has happened." Chu Yue said.

Song Hongmei nodded, turned around and looked at Wang Chunling again, patted her shoulder and said, "Chunling, I know you've been wronged recently. It's freezing cold, let's not talk about anything else for now, you should take the child home quickly, such a young child must not get sick. As for other matters, I will take care of it for you when I get back, and I will never let you be bullied like this."

"Sister Song, I...I..." Wang Chunling's eyes became hot and she almost cried again.

Song Hongmei wiped her face, took off her scarf and wrapped it around Wang Chunling, "Go back quickly. Be careful on the road, Song Qi, take good care of her."

Song Qidao, "Yes, Sister Song!"

Although Song Hongmei told them to leave quickly, Chu Yue still asked, "Sister Song, are you having any troubles here?"
