Chapter 52 Three Thousand Dollars

After the mice went back and forth several times, there was a huge solidarity in front of Chen Yitang and Zeng Wenjuan's pockets. Then the five mice knelt down to the three of them... Yes, they knelt down.

"What on earth is going on?" Chen Yitang became more and more confused. Zeng Wenjuan couldn't understand it either, not to mention that this was the mouse she was most afraid of, so she didn't dare to look at it for even a second.

Finally, it was Goudan who stood up. No one knew whether he really understood or not, but he told Chen Yitang and Zeng Wenjuan, "Mom, Grandpa. These mice said their food was stolen by someone else. Then they followed the smell and stole their money. We thought we could use the money to feed them. We only need to feed them for this winter."

"Goudan, can you really understand what the mouse is saying?" Although Zeng Wenjuan also felt that what Goudan said was quite correct, she was somewhat skeptical that her own child could understand what animals were saying.

Goudan chuckled: "You found out, mom. This was my own idea. But they gave us so much money, they must want us to buy him delicious food."

Chen Yitang bent down tentatively and picked up a big unity. Seeing that the mice all stood up, he realized that Goudan's idea was correct, so he quickly picked up three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, and ten more.

"There are actually three thousand yuan here, it's incredible!" After Chen Yintang picked up all the money, he said to Zeng Wenjuan in shock.

Zeng Wenjuan also took the money and counted it carefully: "It is indeed three thousand yuan. Where did they find the money? With so much money in this village, I'm afraid they can't even find a single family."

Chen Yitang shook his head after hearing Zeng Wenjuan's words. He said calmly, "That's not absolute. Your previous adoptive parents had so much money. We just gave it to them two days ago."

"Is this the result of fate? Come to my house today." Zeng Wenjuan said in shock, looking at the money in her hand. But Zeng Wenjuan really couldn't figure it out. The Zhao family was so rich, why did they steal the food of mice? What can mice eat?

"You should keep the money yourself. It's not convenient for me to hold it. It's getting dark. The dishes have been washed. Take these rats away. I have a bag of rice. I will feed them. Remember to close the door. I'll go back first." Chen Yitang said to Zeng Wenjuan.

Zhao family.

Chen Yitang did not go back to the clinic directly. Instead, he said to the mice, "Where did you get the money just now? Take me there now."

Indeed, the mice led Chen Yitang to the gate of Zhao's yard. Hearing the noise in the house, Chen Yitang and the mice found a place to hide, and then heard the people in the house talking.

"Old man, take a quick look. These are all golden rice grains that I found in a hole. I don't know who hid them there, but now they are a bargain for our family." Ms. Deng said while holding a small sack of rice grains.

Old man Zhao, who was smoking a pipe, stopped smoking when he heard what Ms. Deng said. He looked inside the bag, which was full of rice that had been dried. "Where did you get this from? Have you looked in the cave to see if there is any more?"

"It's gone, just two bags. Lin Beige and I found it together, one bag for him and one bag for me, and 1 cent was gone from both of us." Ms. Deng lowered her voice and whispered into Mr. Zhao's ear.

Chen Yitang, who was eavesdropping outside, left after hearing this. But he felt that the Zhao family was unlucky. They finally had 3,000 yuan more money, but they didn't expect that a bag of rice would be stolen again. However, the Lin family, who stole rice with her, was not in trouble at all.

Time slowly came to September. This is the autumn season in Jinhua, the season of autumn harvest and winter storage. Because the harvest will start in the next period of time, the village chief gave the villagers two days off. Let them prepare well and rush to harvest together.

Zhao Maohua went into the room and found the small box where they kept their money. As soon as he opened it and saw that there were only 7.86 yuan in it, his eyes went dark. If he hadn't held onto the bed rail in time, he would have fallen to the ground.

"Come in here and explain to me. All the money in this box has been taken." If I hadn't happened to have some free time today, I would have thought of asking Zhao Zhaocai to take the money and go see if there was anyone in the county who wanted to sell a job.

Only then did he realize that the more than 6,000 yuan in the box was gone. If he hadn't discovered it today, he would probably never have known what the money was used for in his life. No one had told him.

When Ms. Deng heard Zhao Maohua's roar, she knew something was wrong. She walked into the house trembling with fear, followed by Zhao Zhaocai, Zhou Li, and Dabao.

"Old man, why are you yelling so early in the morning? I'm washing dishes." Ms. Deng said pretending to be calm. If her legs were not shaking like a sieve, she would not have betrayed her inner restlessness.

Zhao Maohua threw the box of money directly at Ms. Deng's feet: "Tell me... where did you spend the money? Did you take it back to support your parents? If you don't tell me the truth, I will divorce you and send you back to your parents' home."

Ms. Deng quickly picked up the box and said, "Old man, we didn't mean to hide it from you. Before, Zhaocai was doing business with someone! He was cheated, so he took 3,000 yuan to compensate the other person. He can make the money back by digging herbs with the villagers later."

"Open your eyes and look at how much money is in this box. I don't care about the 3,000 yuan my son spent, but what about the other 3,000 yuan? Where did it go?" Zhao Maohua said angrily.

Zhao Zhaocai immediately took the box and saw that there were only a few dollars in it. He looked at his mother in shock and said, "Mom, there are only a few dollars in this box. Do we have so much money saved? I took away 3,000 yuan, and there are still 3,000 yuan left."

Zhou Li, who was holding Dabao, curled her lips when she heard this. If the family had so much money, she would have cheated the money early. With so much money, she could go to the county town and buy a job, preferably as a salesperson in the supply and marketing cooperative. That would be so respectable, and she could buy whatever she wanted directly.

When Ms. Deng heard that there were only a few dollars in the box, she grabbed the box from Zhao Zhaocai like a madman. She said frantically, "Where's the money? Where did my money go? So much money."

"It must be him. It must be that when she was dividing the family property, her friend broke into the house and stole our money. That unfilial daughter. I'm going to find her and get the money back." Ms. Deng stumbled out with the box in her hand.
