Chapter 312 A Thick Sum of Money 2

Lin Xiuwen, who was standing next to him, repeated: "One thousand forty-two yuan."

That's definitely a lot of money.

He and his wife, he is a school teacher and she is a saleswoman in a department store, their salaries are already quite high.

But after all these years, I've only saved less than nine hundred yuan, and my fourth brother took so much money all at once...

Chen Honghong immediately thought of something bad, swallowed hard, and said, "Mom, don't think like that. Maybe it's not what we think."

Lin Xiuwen also comforted her in a low voice, "Yes, Mom, maybe this money is a reward from above for Fourth Brother's meritorious service."

Upon hearing this, Ma Xiulian calmed down considerably: "Honghong, can you write a letter for me and send it over to ask what's going on?"

"Okay, I'll write it now."

Chen Honghong took her hand; it was icy cold to the touch, and her palm was sweaty. She helped her into the house and sat her down.

Lin Xiuwen immediately went to get the letter paper.

Chen Honghong wrote down exactly what Ma Xiulian said.

Grandma Lin sat beside her, listening to the whole story. After Ma Xiulian finished writing the letter, she held her hand and comforted her, saying, "Older sister, you're amazing, and your children are amazing too. Honghong is one thing, but everyone in our family speaks highly of her and you, older sister. Not to mention our son. This money must be a reward that our fourth son earned for his meritorious service in the army!"

As a mother herself, she naturally understood Ma Xiulian's feelings at that moment.

So he only said the good things to reassure his mother-in-law and not to worry too much.

"Then I'll take your kind words, Mother-in-law."

Ma Xiulian nodded, picked up the envelope, stood up, and was about to leave: "I'll mail the letter now."

Chen Honghong immediately stood up and said, "I'll go with you."

"Need not!"

Ma Xiulian came in a whirlwind and left in a whirlwind.

After mailing the letter, I went to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought a lot of things before heading home.

After all, it would take more than half a month for the letters to go back and forth, so no matter how anxious she was, she could only wait.

As soon as she got home, she pulled Chen Dazhu back into the house and whispered about it.

"I'm going out for a smoke."

Chen Dazhu, his face tanned dark, went outside, sat on the doorstep, lit his pipe, took a deep drag, and remained silent, lost in thought.

Ma Xiulian held her granddaughter tightly in her arms, trying to draw strength from her.

I secretly hoped that God would take pity on my precious child and protect my fourth child so that he would be alright!

Helian Jiao sensed her unease, opened her big, dark eyes, and touched her face with both hands, asking in a childish voice, "Grandma, what's wrong?"

Ma Xiulian hugged her even tighter: "Sweetie, your dad will definitely come back safely, right?"

Although Guaibao was adopted by the fourth brother, the two had never even met. She was afraid that the fourth brother's good fortune wouldn't be enough to save his life.

I just hope God will open his eyes.

"Yes! I will definitely come back safely." Helian Jiao patted the back of her hand with her soft little hand and nodded heavily.

With those words, Ma Xiulian was finally relieved, but her complexion remained terrible.

During the meal, the Chen family members keenly noticed something was off; the old lady's expression was a bit strange!

The whole family knew that Ma Xiulian had not only taken Chen Honghong home today, but also gone to the post office to collect money.

In the past, my mother would always be all smiles when she brought money home, but this time she was quiet and her expression wasn't very good.

Could it be that something happened to Honghong's family?
