At this time, a squeaking sound came from the closet.

Zhao Youcai was startled, and Li Shulan improvised and pulled off Zhao Youcai's hand that was on the wardrobe handle:

"I'm afraid of catching mice in front of me. Besides, I saw the mice ran out of the closet and into the hole in the wall when they heard us moving. It's too late for you to catch them now. You should get some rat poison tomorrow during the day and deal with it while I'm away."

Zhao Youcai thought about it and agreed. Shulan was the most timid one.

"Then I'll come over and get it for you tomorrow after get off work."

Li Shulan nodded, and Zhao Youcai went to look for clothes in the box in the corner again.

No, if he opened the box and found no clothes, wouldn't that mean I was lying? Li Shulan opened her hands again and blocked the box:

"These clothes are a testament to our love. How can we sell them? Don't you like me to look beautiful in the clothes you bought me?"

Zhao Youcai said helplessly: "I know, I will buy it for you later. Isn't this an emergency now?"

"No matter how urgent it is, I can't live without beautiful clothes."

Zhao Youcai couldn't understand how clothes could compare to the current emergency. Shulan was not an unreasonable person.

Li Shulan held Zhao Youcai's pig-headed face, kissed it, and quickly withdrew. His mouth must have been stung by the smelly shoes, it was really smelly.

"Don't worry, we have other ways."

After being kissed by his beloved, Zhao Youcai felt dizzy and subconsciously thought along the lines of Li Shulan's words:

"What can I do? I've already found three sisters today, but who would have thought they'd all changed? Not only did they refuse to give me money, they even threatened me, saying they'd go to the factory and complain to my boss if I wasn't filial."

Li Shulan knew her three former sisters-in-law too well.

Before, these three sisters-in-law were forced by Old Lady Wang to help the two brothers Zhao Youcai and Zhao Youfu. They had resisted before, but they were subdued by Old Lady Wang every time.

The sudden change in attitude of these three sisters-in-law must be related to Old Lady Wang.

In fact, it is easy to guess what Old Lady Wang is thinking. It must be because Zhao Youcai did not save her this time, and she was heartbroken, so she did not want her three daughters to continue helping Zhao Youcai.

But she would not remind Zhao Youcai and Old Lady Wang to repair their mother-son relationship. Old Lady Wang did not want to see her. The better their relationship, the harder it would be for her to get money from Zhao Youcai. After all, there were many ways to get money.

"Your sister's attitude towards you has changed because your mother is partial to you. She even stole the meat that Zhao Xingfeng brought back. And your three sisters are old now and have their own children and grandchildren. If their children and grandchildren stop them, their support for you two brothers will only get less and less."

"So your mother wanted to leave this precious opportunity to Zhao Youfu, so that Zhao Youfu wouldn't need money and your three sisters would be squeezed dry by you."

"That's right." Zhao Youcai slapped his thigh, "Why didn't I think of that?"

"At the time, I told your mother not to give birth to Zhao Youfu, because it would only be a burden to us. I didn't expect them to listen and even caused us to divorce because of this. You and I have endured the pain of missing each other for more than 20 years, and now, due to some strange combination of circumstances, we can't officially become husband and wife."

Zhao Youcai was filled with resentment after hearing what Li Shulan said, gnashing his teeth.

"All this is because of Zhao Youfu." Otherwise, he would have had a lovely wife and children and a happy family.

Li Shulan continued, "Zhao Youfu and Wang Qiuju are both working and don't have any children, so they must have some savings. If you ask them for money and they refuse, you can tell them that they're gambling and that they stole 3,000 yuan from you, and tell them to fire him. I don't believe they can throw away their stable jobs."

Zhao Youcai was very moved after hearing this:

Back then, I was bewitched by my mom and dad, and divorced you under their pressure. Now, decades later, we're still together, relying on each other. It's been incredibly difficult. I'll do as you say."

Li Shulan urged: "Then hurry up, it's getting dark and I'm afraid you might fall on the road."

Zhao Youcai reluctantly held Li Shulan's hand and rubbed it: "When I get money from Zhao Youfu, I will come and take you to live a good life. We will go to restaurants every day."

Li Shulan nodded with a smile and walked Zhao Youcai out the door.

After Zhao Youcai walked away, Zhao Youjie hurried out of the closet:

"I was so scared just now. Luckily I'm smart. I learned ventriloquism from watching acrobatics when I was a kid. I imitated the mouse's cry, didn't I?"

Li Shulan felt contempt in her heart, but pretended to be full of admiration on the surface: "It's alike, so alike. Don't you want to go back to the house to get the money? Go quickly."

Zhao Youjie took a candle and returned to his and Wang Erni's room. He saw several hundred yuan under the bed. Finally, he took out ten yuan and handed it to Li Shulan.

Li Shulan looked at the thin piece of solidarity in her hand:

"Didn't you just say you would give me all the money in the family? You've only saved ten dollars in all these years? With Brother Jie, you're such a capable person, right?"

If Zhao Youcai had not interrupted him just now, Zhao Youjie would have gotten angry and might have given all the family savings of several hundred yuan to Li Shulan. However, after seeing how Li Shulan and Zhao Youcai were dealing with each other, he calmed down.

This woman is powerful, but she has delicate skin and tender flesh, and is indeed more fragrant than his wife.

Just give her ten dollars for fun. If you really give her all your belongings, she will definitely not give you money when you need it.

Although Wang Erni was fierce, her heart was entirely on him and the child. He felt at ease knowing the money was in her hands.

"I'm just afraid that if I take too much at once, that vicious woman of mine might notice. If she makes a scene, you won't be able to live here anymore. What will I do if I want to see you?"
