Li Shulan was hospitalized and didn't have to do housework all day. She felt that she could finally relax. She had been working like a servant for the past seven or eight years, serving Zhao Youcai and his son. Wasn't it just for the sake of having some money for her retirement?
There are 12,000 yuan in the bank card now. She is going to exchange it all into cash, and she also needs to apply for mortgage loans for Zhao Youcai's training class and house as soon as possible.
Seeing Zhao Youcai coming to see her, looking haggard, she couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"
Zhao Youcai said that he couldn't sleep well because no one was taking care of him.
Li Shulan secretly complained that she had been massaging his head and soaking his feet, and also giving him sleeping pills recently. Now that he left her all of a sudden, of course he couldn't sleep well.
She said gently and thoughtfully: "Then I will go back to take care of you. The doctor said that I can recover from this illness at home, but it will take a little longer."
Zhao Youcai was a little embarrassed at first, but he found that he really couldn't do without Li Shulan to take care of his life.
He had been married to Ma Xiu Lan for more than 20 years. Ma Xiu Lan was mainly responsible for taking care of the children, and he also helped with washing clothes and cooking. It was nothing like Li Shu Lan who had been following him around in recent years.
In this way, Li Shulan stayed in the hospital for one day and then went home.
She began to think about how to make Zhao Youcai angry. Only by making him angry could she take advantage of his absent-minded state in the hospital to do her job.
She began to study things related to Ma Xiu Lan. Anyway, the better Ma Xiu Lan lived, the angrier Zhao Youcai would be. So she talked about the demolition every day, saying that Ma Xiu Lan had gotten a great bargain.
Although Zhao Youcai was very angry, the demolition policy had not yet been announced, and he didn't know what he would get for his old house, so he didn't get too angry.
She thought of the wooden bracelet that Ma Xiulan had taken from Zhao Youcai before, and she made up a story:
"Youcai, I was watching TV at someone else's house and noticed that the wooden bracelet your mother had seemed to be very valuable."
Zhao Youcai couldn't believe how much a broken wooden bracelet could be worth.
But Li Shulan was so confident in what she said that doubts started to surface in his heart: "Then I'll go find Ma Xiulan and ask for it back."
Zhao Youcai went to the factory gate to find Ma Xiu Lan, but Ma Xiu Lan refused to see him. He thought about it and went directly to the clinic run by the eldest brother's wife, Su An'an.
He threatened that if Ma Xiulan didn't come to see him, he would close the clinic.
Ma Xiulan went there immediately after receiving Su Anan's call. She couldn't delay her daughter-in-law's affairs. She asked Zhao Youcai with a dark face: "What do you want to talk to me about?"
Zhao Youcai looked at Ma Xiu Lan's wrist and asked, "Where is the wooden bracelet you used to wear?" He had seen Ma Xiu Lan wearing it a few years ago.
Ma Xiulan looked at the jade bracelet on her wrist. It was the birthday gift from Xingmin this year, so she took off the wooden bracelet and gave it to Xingmin.
Xingmin was very tired from working so intensively every day. When Su Anan was weak after giving birth to her child, she gave the wooden bracelet to Su Anan to wear for two years.
"Sold it."
Zhao Youcai was anxious: "How could you sell the things I gave you? If you buy them back now, I won't give them to you."
So he was asking for something from her. Did he know the value of the wooden bracelet? Then she couldn't give it to him. It was the reward for her years of hard work serving Old Lady Wang. She deserved it.
"Remember this: you didn't give me the wooden bracelet. You paid me a debt with it. We also wrote a purchase receipt. I can do whatever I want with the things I bought. It has nothing to do with you."
Zhao Youcai then remembered that there seemed to be a purchase receipt. Could it be that she knew that this thing was valuable and deliberately designed it for herself in advance?
"I don't care, you have to give it to me."
Ma Xiulan sneered: "What's the point of not caring? Are you the king of heaven? Besides, I've already bought it and I'm done with it. You can't argue no matter how hard you try."
Zhao Youcai was unwilling to accept the result: "How much did you sell it for?"
Ma Xiulan said seriously: "200 yuan, how much more can you sell a piece of broken wood for?"
Seeing her expression, Zhao Youcai also felt that Shulan might be overthinking it. Since he couldn't get her back anyway, he might as well forget it.
He left angrily, but halfway there he remembered that his eldest son's wife only gave birth to a daughter, and there was no one on Ma Xiu Lan's side to inherit the family line. It would be better to discuss with them and adopt Zhao Yang to them so that he could inherit their property.
I raised Zhao Yang by myself, and he will definitely be filial to me in the future.
He went and came back, and finally heard the voice of the eldest daughter-in-law inside:
"Mom, if that bastard knew that the piece of wood he thought was broken was actually valuable, top-grade agarwood, he would probably be furious. But who made him treat you badly before?"
Ma Xiu Lan looked at An An and was about to tell her not to talk nonsense. At that time, Xingguo and Xingmin had also seen Old Lady Wang wearing this bracelet, so they recognized it.
Zhao Youcai suddenly jumped out with a red face: "Okay, you actually lied to me."
Ma Xiu Lan watched him fall straight down and said it was bad luck.
Su Anan didn't want anyone to die in her clinic, so she quickly gave him first aid. Zhao Youcai quickly recovered his breath and pointed at Ma Xiulan: "Give me my bracelet."
Ma Xiu Lan insisted that she had already sold it. She sold it for 200 yuan. Later she heard that the thing might be agarwood, but she didn't know whether it was or not. The person who bought it also disappeared.
Zhao Youcai didn't believe it, but he had no choice. No matter how he pressed her or how he made a fuss, Ma Xiulan insisted on her story.
He had no choice but to fight for his own interests:
"You sold the bracelet my mother left behind at a low price. You made such a big mistake. How can you be worthy of my mother? Now there is a chance to make amends. That is to adopt Zhao Yang to the eldest brother and his wife."
Su Anan refused harshly, and Zhao Youcai glared at her:
