"Since there is no such thing, then tell me where the money came from.
It's not given to you by your parents! Are your parents so generous? "Now that her mother-in-law is here, Gao Erping asked fearlessly.
Coincidentally, at this time, Zhang Wenmin, Yu Yang and his wife, and Zhang Wenfu returned.
The three of them were stunned when they saw the tense and confrontational atmosphere in the main hall.
Everyone walked into the house with lighter footsteps.
Zhang Wenfu and Zhang Wenmin exchanged glances, and Zhang Wenfu stepped forward and asked, "Mom! What's going on?"
"It's you? What's with the money under your pillow? Don't tell me your mother-in-law gave it to you.
I know the situation of my second daughter's family. It is possible for her mother to give her one or two yuan, but it is impossible for her to get more than ten or twenty yuan at once.
"Tell me, where did you get this money?" Zhou Guihua glanced at her second son unhappily.
After hearing what the eldest brother said before, she really suspected that the money saved by the second brother was accumulated from the proceeds he earned from selling mushrooms.
After all, when it comes to selling mushrooms on the black market, he has the final say on how much per pound they sell, how much they sell for, and the money that the second brother pays.
She has three sons. The eldest is honest and simple, just like the old man. The second is smart and capable, just like herself. The third is upright and principled, which can be said to be a combination of all the advantages of her and the old man.
Therefore, Zhou Guihua would not be surprised when the second brother did these things.
"Mom, I swear, this money really wasn't hidden by me from selling mushrooms."
"Since you didn't hide it secretly by selling mushrooms, you have to tell me where you got so much money.
Otherwise, who would believe you? " Zhou Guihua glanced at her eldest daughter-in-law and saw that she would not give up until she got to the bottom of the matter. She knew that this matter could not be glossed over.
If there is any resentment in her heart, it will be difficult for the eldest daughter-in-law and the second son's family to get along harmoniously in the future.
Thinking of this, Zhou Guihua's expression became serious, and she stared at Zhang Wenfu sharply, waiting for his answer.
"Mom, this money... When Qiurui comes back, you can ask her. She knows." The money they saved was given to him by his younger sister. If he said that it was given to him by his younger sister, he would have to reveal where the money came from. He had also promised his younger sister not to tell anyone that she made money by writing novels outside, so Zhang Wenmin gritted his teeth and didn't tell anyone.
However, seeing the attitude of his mother and sister-in-law today, he will not give up until he tells them the whole story.
"Why does this matter involve Qiurui again? Okay, let's wait for Qiurui to come back and explain this matter clearly." Zhou Guihua saw her second son hesitating and his eyes flickering, and she felt even more doubtful.
Zhou Guihua knew that although the second son was smart, he never dared to lie in front of her. His behavior today was obviously suspicious and was related to the little girl, which made Zhou Guihua even more concerned.
........。
"Aunt, it was so much fun ice skating today. I haven't learned it yet. Let's go again next time. I have a feeling I'll be able to learn it next time." Not long after, Zhang Qiurui and Zhang Mingqi walked in from outside. Zhang Mingqi said to his aunt with a happy face.
As soon as he entered the main room, Zhang Mingqi saw that all the family members were there, and he felt that the atmosphere was obviously not right. The smile on Zhang Mingqi's face disappeared immediately.
"I'm so thirsty. Mingqi, have some water." Zhang Qiurui also noticed that there seemed to be a situation of a three-court trial in the main hall. She felt a slight movement in her heart. She sat down and poured a glass of water for herself and also poured a glass of water for Mingqi.
"What happened with such a big scene? Tell me!" Zhang Qiurui put down the cup after drinking the water. Seeing her mother, sister-in-law, and third brother looking at her seriously, although Zhang Qiurui had some doubts in her heart, she asked calmly.
"When your eldest sister-in-law saw that your second brother had saved more than 20 yuan, she suspected that he had secretly embezzled some money when he was selling mushrooms.
I asked your second brother to tell me where the money came from, but he didn't want to say it and said he knew it.
Tell me! How did your second brother save the money? " Zhou Guihua roughly told her daughter about the whole thing. Seeing that the little girl was calm and not at all panicked, she knew that this was probably not the case that her second son secretly embezzled the money when he was selling mushrooms.
"This matter? Wait for me." Zhang Qiurui sighed slightly in his heart.
I knew that the fact that I wrote novels and published them in magazines would be exposed, but I didn't expect that my identity would be exposed so soon.
Fortunately, I am already in junior high school, and several of the novels I wrote are adapted from real events, so they are not so shocking when I tell them to others.
Afterwards, Zhang Qiurui came into the room, bringing several magazines mailed to her by Xiaoxiang Magazine, a stack of Great Unity wrapped in paper, and various remaining tickets and documents, and then came to the main hall.
"Among the novels published by this magazine, I wrote this one, this one, and another one that has not been published.
When I submitted my first novel, I was a new writer and the payment was not much, only three yuan per thousand words. The second one was better, also paying four yuan per thousand words.
After my manuscript was accepted, the magazine sent me a remittance slip.
I was young and went to withdraw money by myself. I was afraid that the savings bank would not give it to me, so I asked my second brother to take the remittance slip to withdraw the money for me. I promised to give him five dollars for each withdrawal.
"My second brother saved so much money thanks to the money I gave him," Zhang Qiurui said to the crowd, pointing to the two novels "The Fault in Our Stars" and "Hidden in the Dust" published in the magazine.
"What? Qiurui, you said that you wrote these two novels?" Yu Yang, who was standing by, was shocked when she heard Zhang Qiurui's words. She widened her eyes in disbelief.
She had also read these two novels and felt that the writing style of the two novels was delicate and sophisticated, and the plots were fascinating. It was by no means difficult to imagine that they were written by an eleven-year-old girl.
"Qiu Rui, what's going on in your head that you could actually write two such beautiful pieces of scar literature?
Also, every time someone mails me a letter, is that the remittance slip the magazine sends back to you? "Zhang Wenmin also read two novels with Yu Yang. He was also shocked, his eyes moving back and forth between the novels published in the magazine and Zhang Qiurui.
"Third Brother, Third Sister-in-law, although I wrote these two novels, I adapted them based on real life.
Mingqi, you will know if you read this article. It is a novel adapted from the events of the class teacher and her fiancé.
The material for the second novel was provided to me by you, mom, and my sister-in-law.
When I returned home, didn't you tell me about the death in the neighboring production brigade? I adapted and wrote this story based on that incident.
"These past few days I've been pestering Mom about what happened between you and my dad. My third novel is about our relationship. It's called 'Parental Love,' and it's a bit embellished and fictionalized. It should be published next year," Zhang Qiurui said casually.
However, the Zhang family was stunned by what they heard. Some of them seemed to be still in their daze, while some simply did not understand.
