Old Man Shen looked at Wang Huilian as if she were a fool: "We're running out of food at home, why are you still thinking about supplementing your nutrition?"
This is the sentence Wang Huilian was waiting for from her father-in-law.
She chuckled twice: "No, I can buy it. Doesn't the third wife have money?"
Old man Shen paused: "The third daughter-in-law? The third daughter-in-law only has 8 cents in her hand, what's the use of it?"
Wang Huilian curled her lips and said, "Dad, you are too easy to fool, right? She said 8 cents, so it's 8 cents?"
"If the third child's hand hadn't been injured this time, who in our family would have known that she still had the money in her hand? The third child's wife is really tight-lipped!"
"I thought, how could it be such a coincidence that the money she has is just enough for the third child to go to the hospital?"
"Besides, who has ever seen how much money she has in her hands before? So how much is left is up to her to say, Dad, don't you think so?"
After hearing what his eldest daughter-in-law said, Old Man Shen didn't say anything.
In fact, he was also wondering how much money his third daughter-in-law had.
If the third daughter-in-law only had 8 cents in her hand, he would not have planned to ask for more.
After all, the money is too little and can't solve any problems.
But what if this daughter-in-law really is worth more than 8 cents?
After thinking for a while, Old Man Shen suddenly looked up and asked Wang Huilian: "Where is Dali? Find him back."
Wang Huilian was stunned for a moment: "Why are you looking for him?"
I was just talking about the third son's wife, why did he bring it up with my youngest son?
But Old Man Shen did not explain the reason to her, but insisted that she find the person back, as he had his own use for him.
Wang Huilian had no idea what old man Shen was up to, so she went to several houses before she finally called her disobedient little son back.
As soon as Old Man Shen saw him, he handed him a thin wire and said, "Dali, pry open the lock on your Third Aunt's cabinet."
Shen Limin took the wire and was still a little confused: "Why are you prying my third aunt's cabinet?"
At this time, Wang Huilian also reacted. She pushed her younger son and said, "Why are you asking? Just pry it open if I tell you to."
She glanced at Old Man Shen and felt that old ginger is indeed more spicy!
While she was still thinking about arguing with Li Xiaoqin for money, her father-in-law actually wanted to search through other people's financial resources.
Then the mother and son squatted in front of Li Xiaoqin's cabinet and began to tinker with the small black iron lock.
"Be gentle this time and don't leave any traces. Last time, that Hu Lili found out." Wang Huilian couldn't help but remind Shen Limin.
Shen Limin replied impatiently: "Do you think I don't want to? I don't have a master to teach me. It's good enough that I can learn by myself!"
Wang Huilian slapped him on the head in anger: "Master? What kind of master do you want? A master who teaches you how to sneak into houses and pick locks? I think you are getting worse and worse."
"Hey, mother, if you say that, I won't do it. Isn't what you and my grandfather want me to do now to pick the lock?"
Shen Limin raised his eyebrows and was about to quit. Why did his mother ask him for help and still scold him?
Seeing the two of them mumbling to each other, Old Man Shen couldn't help but scold them, "Stop talking nonsense. You won't have a chance when the third brother and his wife come back."
It's already this late, and she's still dithering. Old Man Shen doesn't like the way Wang Huilian can't tell the priorities.
Wang Huilian rolled her eyes at her younger son and told him to hurry up. Didn’t he see that the old man was getting anxious?
Shen Limin fiddled with it for a while, and just when Wang Huilian was about to lose her patience again, she heard a "click".
Shen Limin turned his head proudly and looked at his mother, with the words "Am I awesome?" clearly written on his face.
Seeing that the lock was opened, Wang Huilian, with shining eyes, pushed her youngest son aside, took off the lock, opened the door of the cabinet and began to look through Li Xiaoqin's things.
Just as she was about to reach in and rummage around, Old Man Shen stopped her.
"Don't move, Dali, help me over."
Wang Huilian's hands froze, and she said to Old Man Shen reluctantly, "Dad, your legs are not good, so don't get out of bed. Let me do it."
But Old Man Shen just raised his eyelids and gave her a cold look, which scared her into silence.
Wang Huilian stood aside with a wry smile, and watched her youngest son struggling to support Old Man Shen as he limped to the cabinet.
Seeing Old Man Shen impatiently stretching his neck to look into the cabinet, Wang Huilian curled her lips in disdain behind him, with a look of contempt clearly visible on her face.
Why are you pretending?
How could he be better than me?
Hasn't he fallen to the point of secretly stealing his daughter-in-law's things?
Wang Huilian even felt that Old Man Shen was not as good as herself?
After all, she is an old woman, and although it may not sound good to say it out loud, she doesn't think there is anything wrong with doing these things.
But Old Man Shen is a grown man and a father-in-law, and it is a bit disgraceful for him to do this.
Old Man Shen reached out his hand carefully and slowly turned over Li Xiaoqin's things.
In fact, there were not many things in the closet, just a few neatly folded clothes, a few scraps of cloth, and some other small miscellaneous items.
As Old Man Shen was rummaging through the things he was looking for, he said, "You have to do it gently. You can't just start rummaging through the things and make a mess. Otherwise, she will know at a glance that the things have been moved."
"If I don't tell you about these things, you won't be able to think about them. It's not good if you don't worry about any place."
Old man Shen looked around in Li Xiaoqin's cabinet but didn't find any money.
"No?" Old Man Shen murmured.
When Wang Huilian heard this, she quickly leaned over to look: "Is the clothes turned inside out? Is it in the trouser pocket?"
Old man Shen's body suddenly paused. He had just flipped through the bottom of a pile of clothes.
But Old Man Shen really couldn't bring himself to rummage through his daughter-in-law's panties.
Fortunately, his face was full of wrinkles and he was tanned, so you couldn't tell that he was blushing, otherwise it would have been embarrassing.
Old man Shen pretended to be calm and said to Wang Huilian: "I didn't find it. You can look for it. I am old and my eyesight is not good."
Then he helped Shen Limin to move aside.
When Wang Huilian heard this, she was overjoyed.
At the same time, I was blaming Old Man Shen in my heart. If I had known this would happen, wouldn’t it be better to let her find it from the beginning?
Wang Huilian carefully picked up Li Xiaoqin's clothes one by one.
Everywhere there were pockets, they were searched.
Sure enough, I found several 1-cent, 5-cent and 10-cent notes in the front pocket of a pair of pants.
Wang Huilian excitedly counted the money and found that there were about 40 cents.
Wang Huilian showed off the money to Old Man Shen with a look of astonishment: "What did I say? What did I say? Dad, look, what is this? She really hid the money."
Just as Old Man Shen reached out to take the money with his eyes shining, Li Xiaoqin suddenly came out from the door and shouted sharply: "What are you doing? Put it down, that's my money..."
