Holding a Space in the 60s: A Nest of Seven Babies, Five Soldiers

Zhang Siyu was involved in a car accident. When she opened her eyes again, she was in a small fishing village in the 1960s, as Cheng Zhenzhu, a widow single-handedly raising three children.

T...

Chapter 224 Where’s the luggage? Where’s the money?

Cheng Zhenzhu helped the two little brothers put on their cotton shoes and told them that the cute black and white creature was a panda, an animal that loves to eat bamboo...

"Panda, meow~" Lu Siqi scratched the panda's eyes, then scratched the cat on his brother's body, looking a little happy.

"See the good and emulate him. Come to your uncle quickly." Qian Dawei watched his two little nephews follow Mrs. Cheng into the kitchen, and when they came out they were dressed up, wearing beautiful cotton coats and a pair of new cotton shoes. His eyes lit up.

This is exactly like the nephew he saw in the New Year picture last year! Fair and clean, with a small round face, big eyes, a small mouth, and a high nose, he is immediately liked...

The two brothers Lu Jianxian and Lu Siqi paused for a moment, then walked towards the brothers. This uncle, they didn't remember...

Yi Tiao saw two clean little brothers who had just come out and pulled them to eat squid strips together.

The two little brothers were equally beautiful. Er Tiao generously stuffed a large bag of shredded squid into them.

In fact, it was the bag that Lu Jianxian and his brother had left. As soon as they put it down, Er Tiao, who was quick-eyed and quick-handed, picked it up. Liu Tiao's hands were empty and he had been feeling depressed for a while.

San Tiao smiled, holding a cigarette in each hand and licking it slowly, without any hurry. Seeing Liu Tiao pouting in displeasure, he generously gave him one.

Seeing the enthusiastic young men, Lu Jianxian and Lu Siqi put their hands in their pockets awkwardly. Why are they staring at them? They're not dirty anymore, they've been washed and smell good...

"You're done bathing, get out of my house." She actually wanted to say, "Get out!" but she didn't dare say it. Seeing the two brats suddenly look so energetic, Liu Xiaofang felt very irritated.

This wealthy family is truly wealthy. Any piece of clothing they sell is more beautiful than the new clothes they make every three years. With so much money, they must have been a thief, and they didn't spend all their money, so they just showed it off...

Cheng Zhenzhu saw the woman's hateful look and sneered, "The bath is over, it's time to settle the accounts."

Qian Dawei stood up suddenly when he heard this. Yes, he needed to settle the score. He couldn't make things clear with this woman, so Sister Cheng said he could help.

Liu Xiaofang froze. Settlement? What kind of settlement? Was he trying to force her to death? She had the money, and he wanted her to give it back? No way! She was kind enough to bring those two bastards back, otherwise, they'd run away together...

"The children's mother gave you twenty yuan to help take care of them, but how did you ruin them? They don't have a single decent piece of clothing on them. Where are their luggage?" Cheng Zhenzhu's voice was cold. Extremely cold.

Luggage... "Those were given to me by the child's mother. I can use them however I want. It's none of your business...what's it got to do with you?" Liu Xiaofang saw the vicious woman's eyes and hands coming at her again, and quickly changed her words.

"I'll ask you again, where is their luggage?" Cheng Zhenzhu grabbed the woman's hand and slowly moved her fingers up to the position where it would be easiest to remove her arm.

When Liu Xiaofang saw this, her eyelids twitched. Thinking of her still aching arm, she could only confess the truth, "Under the bed, under the bed..."

"One, go and take a look." Cheng Zhenzhu called to a few others.

A few of them dropped the squid strips and followed Liu Xiaofang's directions. Brothers Lu Jianxian and Lu Siqi also followed. They had to get their things back.

Liu Tiao followed for two steps, turned back, and hugged the two bags of squid shreds on the kang tightly in his arms.

Zhao Xiaowu, who had just crawled over and was about to find an opportunity to reach out, was so angry that his face turned black and tears began to flow again. He was afraid of being beaten and dared not cry out loudly. After all, his mother had been caught again...

A few people dragged the bag out from under the bed. Cheng Zhenzhu noticed that it was mostly empty and her eyes narrowed. "Is there anything else?"

"No more, no more..." Liu Xiaofang said, feeling somewhat guilty. All that was left were the two sets of cotton-padded jackets and trousers. The two brats were so skinny and small, she had to tear down both sets to barely make one for her son, Xiaowu...

"Big clothes, you've gotten fat." Lu Siqi was raised fair and sweet by his parents, but he wasn't stupid. Seeing someone backing him up, he immediately pointed at the fat kid and complained in a baby voice.

Lu Jianxian pulled Cheng Zhenzhu and said, "There's still money." There was money in the bag, but it was all taken away by this bad woman.

"Where's the money?" Cheng Zhenzhu didn't expect the two children to have extra money on them, but she definitely had to get it back. "Don't force me to do it."

Liu Xiaofang shuddered, mentally cursing the two idiots for having such a good memory. But they definitely couldn't tell how much money was, so she just grabbed a few bucks...

Then ideals are beautiful, but reality is cruel. The vicious woman glanced at her pocket and immediately took out money from it.

"This is my family's money, not these two little bastards'! Give it back to me, give it back to me quickly..." Liu Xiaofang was extremely anxious.

Oh my! This money is her lifeblood! She was afraid that when she wasn't home, these two guys would rummage around the house, steal it, and keep it with them. If she had known that bandits would come today, she would have hidden it well!

"See the virtuous and emulate them. Do you remember how much it was?" Cheng Zhenzhu asked, holding a handful of big unity in her hand.

"Mom said there were 200." Lu Jianxian remembered his mother's words closely. Mom said she left 200 yuan in her bag and told him to wait for her to come pick him up. Then she would buy him some delicious food and fun things...

But the money was stolen, and my mother didn't come...

What clever children they were! Cheng Zhenzhu counted the money and found it was 220 yuan, which she probably also had 20 yuan from the educated youth Gu for care.

Alas. Although she knew that little Gu Zhiqing was innocent and kind, and therefore always assumed that those around her were kind, people were unpredictable. Sometimes, if you took too much, others would be tempted to covet it. And putting 200 yuan on two two-year-old children was simply too dangerous...

Cheng Zhenzhu counted out 21 of the "Great Unity" notes and stuffed the remaining one back into the woman's pocket. Given the looks of the two children she had seen today, even one "Great Unity" note was too much for her.
