To avoid this from happening, a little discomfort in clothing doesn't matter.

Old Mrs. Lu sewed the pocket and nailed two buttons on the pocket opening.

After making sure the buttons were buttoned, Ge Guifen couldn't take the card out of her pocket.

Then, Mrs. Lu put the bank card into the newly sewn pocket inside her autumn coat and buttoned it up.

After lying on the bed and covering myself with the quilt, I would occasionally pinch the square shape of the bank card through my autumn clothes.

She felt extremely relieved when she kept it close to her body.

The next morning, at around four o'clock, before daybreak, Mrs. Lu got up, put on her clothes, and tiptoed to open the door of the room.

I saw that the rooms of Ge Guifen and Lu Youzhen opposite were quiet, and the yard was also quiet, with no sound of people walking around.

Old Mrs. Lu tried to walk lightly, walked out of the room carefully and came to the yard.

The morning before dawn was covered with a layer of blue, and it was cold and chilly.

But Mrs. Lu's heart was warm at this moment.

She hurried out of the yard, not daring to make a sound, tightly covering the place where her bank card was placed in her autumn clothes, and left the village.

The earliest bus to Hexing Village is at 6 o'clock.

But Mrs. Lu was afraid that if she left too late, she would be discovered by Ge Guifen.

So I would rather leave two hours earlier and hide in the grass by the roadside to wait for the bus in the cold.

After waiting for a long time for the car to arrive, Mrs. Lu stood up and felt her whole body was frozen and her feet were numb.

I forced myself to get on the car, and only felt completely relieved when it drove away.

Ge Guifen didn't get up until seven o'clock. She tidied up and went to the yard to feed the chickens and ducks.

The porridge was cooked again, and another layer of insulation was added to the pot, and the frozen hard steamed buns were put on it to steam together.

After finishing all these, he came to the door of Mrs. Lu's bedroom and knocked on it loudly, "Mom! Get up, after dinner, let's go to town to get the money!"

There was no response from inside Mrs. Lu's bedroom door, but this woke up Lu Youzhen.

Today is Sunday and she doesn't have to go to school, so she wants to sleep in at home.

But just as I was falling asleep, I heard Ge Guifen knocking on the door and shouting outside, and I immediately became irritable.

She turned over several times in bed, and Ge Guifen's shouting continued outside.

Lu Youzhen stood up irritably, opened the door of the room forcefully, and saw Ge Guifen still knocking on Mrs. Lu's door.

"Mom, you've been yelling for so long that the neighbors next door should have heard it. Why hasn't grandma woken up yet?" Lu Youzhen made a vicious guess, "Could it be that she just got the money and had a sweet dream all night, and ended up having a stroke like grandpa?"

Somehow Lu Youzhen's words reminded Ge Guifen.

Ge Guifen suddenly stopped and showed an expression that said "something bad is going to happen".

She stopped knocking on the door and went straight to find the house key.

"Mom, what are you doing?" Lu Youzhen asked in confusion.

Ge Guifen didn't say anything either. She didn't care about all these things now and used the key to open Mrs. Lu's door.

Sure enough, the room was empty, and there was no sign of Mrs. Lu.

Just now, Lu Youzhen wondered whether Mrs. Lu had suffered a stroke like Mr. Lu.

Ge Guifen just then remembered that Old Mrs. Lu never locked the door when she went to bed at night.

Because Mrs. Lu felt that she was old, she was worried that she might feel unwell at any time at night.

What if something really happened and she locked the door from the inside, and Ge Guifen and Lu Zhenjia couldn't get in and rescue her in time? Old Mrs. Lu was very cautious in this regard.

So when Ge Guifen went to call Old Madam Lu just now, she called twice and saw no response from Old Madam Lu, so she subconsciously pushed the door open.

Ge Guifen didn't have time to notice whether it was locked from the inside or the outside.

She had been wondering if Mrs. Lu was worried that she would steal the card in the middle of the night, so she locked the door when she went to bed.

Suddenly the angry shouting became louder, which woke Lu Youzhen up.

When Ge Guifen heard Lu Youzhen's guess, she suddenly remembered Old Lady Lu's habits and immediately realized that something was wrong.

"That damn old woman took the money and ran away!" Ge Guifen shouted angrily and slapped her thigh in regret.

"What?" After being shocked, Lu Youzhen hurried into the house.

Because the doors and windows were locked, there was still an unpleasant smell in the room from Mrs. Lu's sleep all night.

Lu Youzhen frowned and held her breath. She opened Mrs. Lu's closet, but she couldn't hold her breath any longer. She let go and said to Ge Guifen, "Grandma's clothes are still there. They should be returned."

Ge Guifen breathed a sigh of relief. She was really afraid that Mrs. Lu would run away with the money and leave the trouble of Mr. Lu to her.

But Ge Guifen didn't know that if possible, Mrs. Lu also wanted to run away.

But she thought about it carefully again and decided that if she ran away with the money, she could only go to Lu Zhenguo.

She certainly can't live on 50,000 yuan by herself.

It will definitely not be long before you run out of money.

If she wanted to leave, she would go to find Lu Zhenguo and ask him to serve her.

These 50,000 yuan must not be spent.

But Lu Zhenguo is filial. If she goes to find Lu Zhenguo now, how can Lu Zhenguo serve her when he knows that she has abandoned Old Man Lu in Hexing Village?

She must be sent back.

So it’s not that Mrs. Lu doesn’t want to run, but that she can’t run.

After she ran away, no one would take care of her.

"That damn old woman must have secretly used the card to withdraw money! No wonder she made excuses and refused to go when I told her to go to town to withdraw money yesterday. It turns out she had been planning this for a long time!" Ge Guifen was furious.

Lu Youzhen glanced at the time and said, "The earliest bus to town is at 6 o'clock. Did grandma take the earliest bus?"

A while ago, a few more trains were added to Hotai Town.

The car went around several nearby villages and picked up people to go to Hetai Town.

Because more trains have been added, it is more convenient to travel to Hotai Town.

"That must be the case. She left so early, she definitely couldn't wait for the next bus." Ge Guifen was so angry that her teeth were itching and she was extremely anxious.

"I don't know if it's too late for us to go now?" Lu Youzhen frowned.

"It's definitely too late." Ge Guifen said, "The next bus is at 9 o'clock. By the time we get there, she will be back."

Lu Youzhen thought for a moment and said, "Let's eat first and wait for her to come back home. Since she didn't bring any luggage, she will come back anyway."

* As for Mrs. Lu, although she arrived in Hetai Town early, the bank was not open yet.

She could only wait.

Old Mrs. Lu hasn't even had breakfast yet and her stomach is growling with hunger.

Thinking that he would have another 50,000 yuan, he gritted his teeth, made up his mind, and went into a breakfast shop.

I ordered a bowl of porridge, a tea egg, a meat bun, and a fried dough stick.
