Old Mrs. Song was caught off guard; the blow landed squarely on the back of her head.
Song Xiaohua originally didn't want her dead, but after hearing what she just said, she was filled with anger and resentment, so she decided to kill her.
Before Old Lady Song could even roll her eyes, she was thrown forward and fell to the ground, scattering silver coins everywhere.
Song Dahua was so frightened that she stood there stunned for a moment. When she came to her senses, she quickly went to pick up the money.
After picking up the money, the two sisters quickly climbed out of the back window and ran away.
Seeing their guilty looks, some villagers shouted at them, "Where are you going?"
The two dared not respond. They used all their strength to run away, reaching the village entrance and then running out of the road in one go, disappearing from sight.
Song Daming and Song Xiaoming returned home from gathering firewood on the mountain, and Shen and Chen also returned from the fields.
Seeing that Old Mrs. Song's room door was open, everyone subconsciously glanced inside.
Before she could even look, Madam Shen exclaimed in surprise, "Mother, what's wrong with Mother?"
Old Mrs. Song collapsed to the ground, motionless.
The Song family rushed into the room and hurriedly helped Old Mrs. Song up, only to find that her body was already stiff.
They were so frightened that they let go.
They slowly turned their faces and looked at each other in bewilderment.
Old Mrs. Song is dead!
The old woman curses and yells every day, and she'll pick up a feather duster and hit people at the drop of a hat. She's full of energy, and I thought she could keep causing trouble for another twenty years.
It was just one person who died, and she was an old woman who was always bossing everyone around, selfish, stingy, and unlikable. The Song family wasn't sad about it; what they cared about more now was that the old woman was dead and they could divide the family property.
Madam Shen thought to herself, if her two sons were to find wives, she would have to give them at least eighteen taels of the twenty taels of silver, and ninety percent of the land.
The rest was given to Chen, a widow, to barely make ends meet; she had done more than enough.
She looked at the empty tin box on the bed, then at the empty drawer; the silver had vanished.
She screamed in alarm, "The money, the money is gone! It's all been stolen!"
The Song family panicked and quickly began searching.
To hide the silver, Old Lady Song bought a special iron cabinet, but only the bottom left drawer was used to store the money. It was locked with three locks, while the other drawers could be opened at will, and the silver was nowhere to be found.
Looking at Old Lady Song's appearance, it's certain that her money has been stolen.
The Song family was furious.
“Our family is already struggling so much, what kind of heartless bandit did this?”
"If I catch him, I'll tear him to pieces."
Song Daming ran out of the yard: "Who is it that dares to steal from our Song family? Come out here! You dare to do it but don't admit it, you're not even as good as pigs and dogs."
His shouting alerted the neighbors, who all knew the Song family had been robbed and came out to see what was going on.
They then realized that it wasn't just the money that was missing, but more importantly, that Old Mrs. Song had died. However, the Song family was clearly more concerned about the money, and Old Mrs. Song just lay on the ground, ignored by everyone.
It is said that the dead should be respected. No matter what Old Lady Song did in her daily life, she was still an elder in the Song family. No one expected that the Song family would treat her like this after her death. It is truly a case of elders being kind and children being filial. Everyone was amazed.
He said, "It wasn't me; I didn't take a single step in the direction of your house."
