"That shouldn't be the case. Mr. and Mrs. Xu are usually very kind and always greet everyone with a smile."
"That's right. Yesterday I saw Xiuying giving chicken soup to her daughter-in-law. It was a whole chicken, and she just killed it and sent it to the Tang family."
"It's only because Mr. and Mrs. Xu have good tempers. If my daughter-in-law had killed my son right after she came home, I wouldn't even give her rice soup, let alone chicken soup."
"It's said that Mr. and Mrs. Xu are kind."
Hearing these people's discussions, Zhang Chunhua curled her lips and did not respond, because she knew that even if she said it, others would not believe it.
The old Xu couple were so good at pretending that they had deceived her at one point. If she hadn't accidentally overheard their conversation before, she would probably have been kept in the dark.
Just as these women were talking more and more outrageously, the village chief rushed over. With a sullen face, he scolded everyone, "Don't you have anything to do? Why are you sitting here gossiping? Go away and get back to your business!"
Since the village chief had spoken, everyone did not dare to act rashly and dispersed to go home.
After everyone left, the village chief looked at Xu Dingbang and said, "Old Xu, I've asked my eldest son to report this to the police. You two shouldn't worry. Let's wait until the police arrive."
How could Xu Dingbang not be anxious? It was already dawn, and if he didn't set off for the county town, he would probably miss the morning train.
But now the family’s money is lost, and the couple is penniless. They don’t even have money for food on the road. How can they go?
Maybe he could borrow some money from the villagers to use in an emergency. By the time he and his wife came back from visiting their son, the police might have solved the case and recovered their lost money.
But how should I explain this to my son? He has repeatedly told me to bring all the money in the family with him, as he still needs some money to marry his wife.
If we lose this money, what will happen if our son can’t get married? After all, his daughter-in-law is already pregnant with the Xu family’s child.
The more Xu Dingbang thought about it, the more confused his mind became. The old woman was still crying and making a fuss, making his head almost explode.
"Shut up, keep crying, how can crying solve the problem? You don't want to think about what to do now, you just cry, sooner or later this family will be broken up by your crying!"
Bai Xiuying, who was originally crying sadly, was so scared that she immediately fell silent after hearing her man's scolding. The reason was nothing else but that Xu Dingbang's expression at the moment was so gloomy and scary.
In fact, the village chief was also annoyed with Bai Xiuying. After all, Lao Xu was right. Crying not only could not solve any problems, but also made other people upset.
But after all, the Xu family had just been robbed, so it was understandable that Bai Xiuying was sad. It was impossible that she was not even allowed to cry after her house was robbed.
But after the crying stopped, his ears were truly at peace. The village chief felt refreshed and indescribably comfortable.
After yelling at Bai Xiuying, Xu Dingbang smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Village Chief. Otherwise, we old couple wouldn't know what to do."
“This is what I should do.”
He wanted to ask the old woman to move a stool out for the village chief to sit on, but when he thought of the empty house, Xu Dingbang's face became even uglier.
"Village chief, look, my house has been emptied by thieves. Not even a stool is left..."
The village chief waved his hand nonchalantly, "It's okay, it's okay. I'll go back first. When the police arrive, I'll ask the boss to call me."
"Excuse me, village chief."
After watching the village chief leave, Xu Dingbang fell into a dilemma again, and finally the idea of going to see his son prevailed.
He looked at Bai Xiuying and ordered in a low voice, "Go to the Tang family and borrow some money. Borrow as much as you can. At least make sure that we can get to the provincial capital smoothly.
As soon as we get to the provincial capital, we'll be able to see our son. We have to hurry, or we'll miss the morning train. As for the family situation, explain it to your mother-in-law and ask her to help. See how the police handle it."
Thinking of the agreement she had made with her son, Bai Xiuying instantly perked up. She wiped her nose with her sleeve and stood up quickly.
"Okay, I'll go now."
-
Tang family.
As soon as Su Meijuan got up, she saw her daughter had already prepared breakfast. "Ningning, why did you get up so early today?"
Although Tang Wanning usually doesn't stay in bed, he has rarely gotten up so early.
Tang Wanning smiled, "Mom, I'm just too excited. I couldn't sleep, so I just got up and made breakfast."
"Kid, go back and take a nap after breakfast, or you'll be tired in the afternoon."
"Okay, I'll listen to you..."
Before Tang Wanning could finish his words, there was a knock on the door, followed by Bai Xiuying's anxious voice.
"Mother-in-law, are you up yet?"
When Su Meijuan heard Bai Xiuying's voice, her eyes almost rolled up to the sky. It was really bad luck that someone came to knock on the door so early in the morning.
Besides, didn’t we agree on this yesterday? Why are you here again so early in the morning?
Annoying ghost!
Su Meijuan was afraid that her daughter would be upset when she saw Bai Xiuying, so she lowered her voice and said, "Ningning, go back to your room first. I'll go meet this old hag."
Tang Wanning was also afraid that he would burst out laughing when he saw Bai Xiuying's miserable condition, so he nodded in agreement.
Anyway, my mother already knows the true face of the Xu family, and she will definitely not be soft-hearted towards them anymore.
"Okay, if anything happens later, just shout."
"Mom knows, go back to the house."
After watching her daughter enter the house, Su Meijuan walked towards the door calmly, "Here I come, here I come."
