Xie Meihui promised to give Duan Xiaoxi one yuan every month from now on.

Duan Xiaoxi said she needed to earn work points so she could work in the fields with her child.

Many women who have given birth now also work in the fields with their children. Because they have to take care of their children, they don't earn many work points, but they can still earn a few a day.

Xie Meihui did not object.

Therefore, Duan Xiaoxi usually carries her child on her back when she goes out to work.

In the beginning, when the baby was only four or five months old, Duan Xiaoxi would run to the school and have Xie Meihui breastfeed her when the baby was hungry.

During the two-month autumn holiday, Xie Meihui didn't go to work but stayed home to take care of her child and tried to get the child to eat noodles.

Once school starts, Duan Xiaoxi won't have to go to school anymore when her child is hungry.

Duan Xiaoxi was busy taking care of her child and got to know several other women in the village who also had children.

He Wan often goes up the mountain, and when she comes back, she is so tired that she just wants to sleep as soon as she lies down.

There's no one to say a word all day long.

Fortunately, there are still Lao Yun and Lao Bai.

After returning home these past few days, He Wan went to the mountain to pick walnuts as usual.

I came back early today and happened to pass by the chicken coop.

I could hear a woman speaking loudly inside.

I thought Chen Qing was arguing with Liang Shurui.

Tsk, the male and female leads are arguing, what a rare opportunity! How could He Wan miss such a good chance?

I quietly went to their back room and started eavesdropping.

Upon closer inspection, it became clear that the voice did not belong to Chen Qing.

"Brother, Mom is sick. Before she left, she said something to us and she fell seriously ill that very day. It took her several months to recover."

It cost a lot of money; the more than 1,000 yuan you mailed back back then is all gone.

"I called you but you wouldn't listen, so Mom had to send me here. You two have to get a divorce."

He Wan couldn't hear very clearly from behind, but she did hear the message about the 1,000 yuan being mailed.

The book says that Liang Shurui came from an ordinary family with several siblings, and they lived a very frugal life. They couldn't even come up with a hundred yuan, let alone a thousand.

Suddenly remembering something, He Wan sprang to her senses, got up, went around to the front, and quietly approached the window.

Continue listening to their conversation.

Liang Shurui said, "Second sister, what are you saying? I won't divorce Qingqing. Don't think I don't know that Mom is faking her illness. Didn't she already use all that money to find a job for my second brother? Stay here for two days and go back quickly."

Liang Ermei said anxiously, "This time it's really not an act. Mom is really sick. Her hands have been shaking and she's weak all over. We've been to many hospitals and been treated for more than three months. We have spent some of that money, but we still have five hundred yuan left. This time she's better, but because of this jinx, she's brought bad luck to our family."

He Wan felt increasingly uneasy as she listened, so she took out the recorder and suddenly asked, "Did your brother find 1,200 yuan on the train?"

Yes, that's right.

Upon hearing that the voice sounded strange, Liang Shurui's face turned pale.

Before anyone could stop her, He Wan entered with a cold face and said to Liang Ermei, "Was it wrapped in a pink handkerchief with trumpet-shaped blue flowers?"

Liang Ermei, whether she was being silly or what, nodded and said, "That orchid handkerchief was a gift from my brother."

Liang Shurui covered his pale face and shouted, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

But it was too late. He Wan turned to Liang Shurui and said, "Back on the train, you were sitting next to me. At that time, I was frantically looking for my lost money. I even asked the train attendant and called the police. Haha, it turns out the money was with someone. You just watched me go crazy and almost starved to death penniless at the educated youth settlement."

So all that concern they showed me before was because they felt guilty about losing my money.

There's no need for that, Liang Shurui. Now that I've discovered it, don't blame me for being impolite.
