Jin Chunmei looked at her brother, who was covered in dust and dirt, and said with disgust: "What's wrong? Why did you come here suddenly today? Are you arguing with your wife again?"

Jin Yao shook his head: "No, it's me..."

The smile on Jin Chunmei's face completely disappeared, and she raised her foot and kicked her brother on the buttocks: "You kid, are you causing trouble again?"

Jin Yao was kicked and screamed, tears streaming down his face.

"Second sister, when our mother passed away, she told you to take good care of me. You can't do this to me!"

Jin Chunmei was so angry that her liver ached.

The Jin family was from the city, and it couldn't be said that they absolutely favored boys over girls. Jin Chunmei and her three sisters lived a relatively good life. They had never had to worry about food and clothing since they were young, and they could take most of the bride price.

Jin Yao was a late-born child, and was doted on by his parents. His sisters also felt that the family needed a boy to support the family, so they spoiled Jin Yao. However, they spoiled him rotten and acted like a second-rate kid all day long. He didn't have a job when he grew up, and it was only she who arranged the deal for her brother and another sister who introduced him to a job.

Even so, Jin Yao continued to cause trouble outside all day and was taken to the police station several times.

Jin Chunmei was disappointed and worried: "What's going on this time? Let me make it clear, I have no money to give you. This month I have already given you ten yuan without telling your brother-in-law."

Jin Yao burst into tears immediately. He was a grown man without any shame. He said, "Sister, you can't just ignore me."

Jin Chunmei sighed, thinking about the kindness she had shown to her brother before, and she couldn't be cold to her brother after all: "This is the last time, how much do you want?"

Jin Yao raised his hand.

Jin Chunmei frowned: "Fifty? That much?"

"Yes... five." Jin Yao blushed.

Jin Chunmei gasped, raised her hand and slapped her brother in the face. Her movement was too big and the slap was so strong that the waistband of his pants loosened and a wad of money fell to the ground.

Jin Yao was immediately attracted by the money on the ground and he bent down to pick it up. Jin Chunmei couldn't stop him and the boy ran out in a flash.

"Second sister, why didn't you tell me earlier that you had so much money? If I had known, I would have gambled a little longer yesterday."

"What the hell, give your money back!"

"I don't ask for much, I'll leave the rest to you. When I make money, you'll be my best sister."

Jin Chunmei chased after him anxiously, but Jin Yao was of no use as he ran so fast that he disappeared in a flash.

Jin Chunmei was extremely anxious. She looked at what was left in her trouser pocket and found that there was only fifty yuan left.

If the money is taken away by her brother, it will basically be impossible to get it back. If the police are called, the only child of the Jin family will be finished.

But even if she sold her, she couldn't raise the original money.

Jin Chunmei took a deep breath, wiped the sweat off her face, and tried to calm down.

Anyway, Mrs. Bai thought that she had given the money to Zhang Qiuyun, and Zhang Qiuyun also thought that she had returned the money to Mrs. Bai.

Jin Chunmei knew that these two sisters-in-law had some personal grudges, so neither of them was willing to show up in person. Although they both had high status, they usually couldn't speak to each other.

Even if she pocketed the money herself, no one would know.

Jin Chunmei looked left and right to make sure there was no one around, then secretly took out the remaining fifty dollars and put it into her own money pocket.

Bai Jiaojiao didn't sleep well again that night. At noon, when she was about to get up, there was a knock on the bedroom door.

"Jiaojiao, are you up?" Xiao Zhou's voice was very gentle. Bai Jiaojiao frowned. Wasn't this man from the military region? Why did he come back again?

Then I heard him say, "Someone is coming."

Bai Jiaojiao didn't dare to stay in bed anymore: "I just woke up from my nap, I'll get up right away."

People outside: “???”

It’s not even 12 o’clock yet, and you’re already taking a nap?

Bai Jiaojiao tidied herself up briefly and opened the door. She saw that several workers who were moving the bed were all confused.

Xiaozhou was afraid of hurting her, so he pulled her aside.

The man was wearing a neat military uniform, his posture was straight and upright, and his crew cut was simple yet heroic, giving people a sense of righteousness.

Bai Jiaojiao admired it and her attention was drawn to the bed that the master had slowly built. Wasn't this the one they had seen in the mall yesterday? !
