Seeing that Zhao Xingjia was unwilling to pay, he said that Zhao Yang was instructed by Old Lady Wang to do bad things, and if Old Lady Wang had no money to compensate, then Zhao Youcai should pay.

Zhao Youcai lowered his eyes, his face full of disappointment: "Second brother, since you are so fussy, it seems that I can't count on you in the future. I'll still count on the fourth brother."

Zhao Xingjia thought of the more than 3,000 yuan in Zhao Youcai's hand, and felt that he had been careless just now. He couldn't offend his father for such a small amount of money.

He reluctantly took out his money, which had not yet warmed up, and handed it to Old Mrs. Zhang.

At the same time, he carefully admitted his mistake to Zhao Youcai.

Ma Xiu Lan watched this scene. Zhao Xingjia was so obedient to Zhao Youcai. It seemed that something had happened that she didn't know about.

Seeing Ma Xiulan's eyes, Zhao Xingguo was afraid that his mother would think of the second child again, so he quickly pulled Ma Xiulan's arm:

"Mom, An An and I bought you a scarf."

The food at home had been so good these past two days that he and An An felt bad, so they decided to give Ma Xiu Lan a gift. They bought it this morning while Ma Xiu Lan was not around, and had planned to take it out during lunch.

I'd better say it in advance so that mom won't envy the relationship between the second child and dad.

Ma Xiulan's eyes lit up with surprise when she heard this: "Then Mom will go back and take a look. Let's greet your Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang first and see if they are going to the hospital or going home."

Zhao Xingjia looked at their backs and felt annoyed. What was the point of his eldest brother, a peasant who had been working in the countryside for many years, trying to curry favor with his mother?

When he gets into college and inherits his father's money, he will make his eldest brother kneel down and beg him to forgive what happened today for daring to help outsiders call the police to arrest Zhao Yang.

And his mother acted as if she didn't see him when she saw him. She is so selfish. She gave birth to him and now doesn't care about him. Then why did she give birth to me in the first place?

After Zhao Youcai and Zhao Xingjia took Old Lady Wang and Zhao Yang to receive criticism and education, they walked out of the police station, their stomachs rumbling with hunger.

Zhao Yang held his stomach and didn't want to leave. He squatted on the ground and said, "I want to eat meat buns!"

"Grandma, you said if I go to grandma's house and find money and something that looks like a picture, you'll give me meat buns to eat every day."

Zhao Xingjia was suspicious: "What photos? We need to look for them specifically."

Zhao Youcai thought to himself that this was bad. He couldn't let the second brother know that Ma Xiulan had caught him. In addition to the 1,820 yuan, he signed an IOU for another 6,000 yuan.

The second brother is so smart that even if I cheat him out of more than 3,000 yuan, he will not give the money to me.

Old Mrs. Wang was panicked and didn't know what to say.

Zhao Youcai thought of a clever idea: "Your mother stole the photos of other people, and I just thought she had some money, didn't she?

She didn't give the eldest daughter money to marry, but instead made her a live-in son-in-law. The fifth daughter said she asked your mother for a dowry several times, but she refused. If you don't give your children money to spend, you must have a man.

I thought maybe your mother has some pictures of her and that man at home."

When Zhao Xingjia heard this, he suddenly realized what was going on. He said, "Why did his mother suddenly become like a different person and not be nice to them at all?"

It turned out that the old house was on fire. I was so angry that I was still obsessed with men at my age.

Zhao Yang couldn't wait for the adults to continue talking, so he cried and asked for food.

The sound was heard from far away, attracting the attention of passers-by.

When Old Lady Wang hit him, he howled even louder.

Zhao Youcai and Zhao Xingjia both felt ashamed. Zhao Youcai saw that Zhao Yang was really disobedient and didn't want to embarrass himself any more, so he sighed and said, "Let's go buy four meat buns."

After eating the buns, Old Lady Wang was still scolding Ma Xiu Lan, asking her why she didn't live at No. 138. If she lived there, how could Zhao Yang be taken to the police station for stealing from her own grandmother's house? At most, the street office would mediate.

"Yes, Dad, my mom doesn't live at 138. Where does she live?"

Old Lady Wang's triangular eyes rolled. "She's definitely nearby. It only took Old Lady Zhang a little over ten minutes to get her here. Let's search around 138, starting with the end of the street. It's next to a stinking ditch, and the environment is awful. A bitch like her must live there."

When Zhao Youcai thought of Li Shulan who lived at the end of the street, he was afraid that Old Lady Wang would meet Li Shulan at her cousin Zhao Youjie's house, and guess that he was still in contact with Li Shulan, and was afraid that she would cause trouble again.

So he said, "Let's look from the front."

Old Mrs. Wang was dissatisfied: "Don't you know that the house in front is in a good location? How could she possibly rent the house in front?"

Zhao Youcai didn't want to listen to Old Lady Wang's nagging, so he sent Zhao Xingjia to ask.

It was not long after lunch and there were few people in front of the houses. Zhao Xingjia planned to knock on the door of a house to ask. He happened to see his paper mill uniform in the yard of No. 9. It would be easy to talk to someone from the same factory.

Without thinking, he knocked on the door.

"Is anyone home?"

Liang Cui'e was awakened by the noise outside and came out to open the door in annoyance. Recently, the neighbors outside were unwilling to talk to her when they saw her. When she asked, she found out that everyone thought she was scary.

During the war, Liang Cui'e's family was poor and she survived by relying on the help of her neighbor, Old Lady Zhang's family.

The older generation still remember this incident. Now that the Zhang family is dwindling, Liang Cui'e and her family not only don't take care of them, but also have evil intentions.

A classic farmer and snake story.

Who would dare to bother with Liang Cui'e and her family?

Liang Cui'e was forced to apologize to Old Man Zhang and Old Lady Zhang, trying to repair her relationship with the old couple of the Zhang family in order to restore her family's bad reputation.

I was so upset and now there are strangers coming to my door.

Liang Cui'e opened her mouth bluntly: "What's the matter?"

Zhao Xingjia was unhappy about meeting such a fierce old lady. He thought about his bad luck. But after knocking on the door, he still held back his anger and asked:

"Do you know the woman named Ma Xiulan who moved in recently? She's probably in her forties or fifties."

He actually doesn't know how old his mother is.

Liang Cui'e thought, this can't be such a coincidence, she heard Old Lady Zhang call the fierce woman next door Xiulan. This is the only household that has changed recently.

"What do you want with her?"

Liang Cui'e looked like she knew the answer but didn't want to tell him.

Zhao Xingjia immediately approached: "Auntie, someone in your family works in the paper mill, right? I work there too. My last name is Zhao, and Ma Xiulan is my mother."

After Zhao Xingjia finished speaking, he saw Liang Cui'e looking at him with a creepy look in his eyes: "Where does my mother live? Do you know?"

Liang Cui'e suddenly had an idea and came up with a good way to achieve the best of both worlds. She sighed:

"Young man, have you been having a hard time recently? How are your children at home?"
