Without thinking too much, he walked towards the two people who were peeking out.
An auntie was preparing lunch and saw Yi Zhonghai going out. She shouted, "Hey, Lao Yi, where are you going? It's time to eat."
Yi Zhonghai waved his hand and said, "I'm going to go out for a while and will be back soon."
The lady was puzzled and muttered, "It's almost time for dinner, where are you going? I've already asked for half a day off, why don't you eat and go to work?"
Then she was about to put the cut vegetables into the pot, but found that there was not enough salt, so she wanted to take the money to buy some.
When I opened the cabinet where I kept my money, I immediately gasped and felt my legs go weak.
He immediately shouted, "Oh my God, why is the money gone?"
There are banks these days, but most people don’t trust them or know much about them, so many people hide their money at home instead of putting it in banks.
Besides, most people’s monthly salary is only enough for their family to eat, and there is not much left. There is no need to save a few dollars in the bank.
An old lady of her age would do the same and hide her money in a locked cabinet. Having experienced war, she subconsciously feels that home is the safest place.
After all, society was in chaos at the time, and the monetary system was naturally even worse. There were all kinds of currencies, and various forces issued their own currencies. Ordinary people didn’t know which one to use.
For example, legal tender, central reserve notes, new Yunnan currency, big hualian, erhualian, Guanjin coupons, silver coins, etc.
People in later generations feel overwhelmed when watching this, let alone the older generation who have little education.
Second Aunt rushed out quickly. With such a big thing happening at home, she subconsciously wanted to find someone who was in charge of the family.
"Old man, old man!"
As soon as Yi Zhonghai went out, he was caught up by an old lady who asked, "What's wrong?"
An old lady quickly grabbed him and said, "Go home quickly, something bad has happened!"
Yi Zhonghai was a little impatient. He was in a hurry to warn the Jia family, but seeing the panic of the aunt, he still said patiently: "What's the big deal? Tell me quickly."
An old lady pulled him back into the house and pointed to the cabinet with only change left. "Look, our money is missing. One thousand yuan is gone!"
Yidamai was speaking with a crying tone. Although the family was rich, they couldn't afford to throw money away like this. Who could bear it?
Yi Zhonghai breathed a sigh of relief. He was a little nervous just now. So this is what happened.
He said calmly, "I thought it was something else. I took the money, so you don't have to worry about it."
The lady was stunned for a moment, and then she stopped Yi Zhonghai who was about to leave, "No, what did you do with the money? One thousand yuan is not a small amount."
Although he earned the money, let's talk about what he did with the huge sum of one thousand yuan.
"You cook first. I'm busy now. I'll explain to you when I come back." Yi Zhonghai replied and walked away without raising his head.
"This... is so weird."
The auntie underestimated it, but she felt relieved. Although she didn't know what the money was used for, at least it was not stolen.
If it was really stolen, she would have a hard time explaining it, after all, Yi Zhonghai was at work and she was the one guarding the house.
......
At Jia’s house, Yi Zhonghai knocked on the door.
"Who is it?"
Jia Zhang was sitting on the bed sewing shoe soles when she shouted out casually.
"I am Yi Zhonghai."
"What is he doing here?" Jia Zhang muttered softly, but she couldn't help but open the door.
"Huaihua, go back to your room. You are not allowed to come out until grandma speaks."
"Oh." Huaihua ran back to the house obediently.
Then Jia Zhang quickly tidied the room and confirmed that there was nothing suspicious, then she called out, "Uncle, come in, the door is not locked."
Yi Zhonghai immediately pushed the door open and walked into the room. He glanced around casually, sat down at the table, and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law Jia, how many children do you have?"
Jia Zhang said without stopping, "Only Huaihua is at home. Banggeng took Xiaodang out to play and will be back later."
Yi Zhonghai frowned.
What the hell is this attitude? Do you think I’m here to curry favor with you?
If it weren't for the fact that Qin Huairu was filial and could live with He Yuzhu to take care of me in my old age, I would have thrown you out of the compound long ago.
No, can't be angry.
I warned myself mentally and tried to take a deep breath to calm myself.
But when I took a breath, I smelled a different scent.
He sniffed it twice more to confirm that he was correct, and then looked at Jia Zhang deeply.
Then he took two steps to the pot and lifted the lid.
In an instant, the fragrance of rice spread along with the hot steam, making Yi Zhonghai's eyes widen.
You damn old hag, are you really not afraid of death? You stole something and then cooked at home so openly?
"Hey, uncle, what are you doing? Why are you lifting the lid of my pot for no reason?"
Jia Zhang's face was filled with anger. She jumped up flexibly with her fat body, rushed to the pot in a few steps, and grabbed the lid.
I secretly regretted why I forgot about the rice in the pot.
Yi Zhonghai looked at her deeply and sat down again. "Sister-in-law of the Jia family, the food is good. You eat rice, and it's refined rice. It's not cheap, right? Don't you usually complain about being poor and ask others for help?"
"It's none of your business. My good grandson wants to eat it, so I bought it for him. What? Can't we eat fine grains at home?"
Yi Zhonghai looked disdainful, "Alright, Jia's sister-in-law, you know where all this rice came from, and so do I. I'll tell you straight out. Banggeng sneaked back with a bunch of stuff last night, and I saw it all clearly. Don't play tricks on me."
"You are so good, Yi Zhonghai, you still wrongly accuse a good person!" Jia Zhang's heart was pounding, but she still said stubbornly: "Don't think that we orphans and widows are easy to bully. If you make a fuss, you will be in trouble."
