Chapter 158 The Money is Gone



Because she has her husband's support, Liu Ersao only needs to do her own household chores at home.

Although Liu Ersao has a soft personality, one thing she is strong about is that she knows how to listen to her man.

Liu Laoer told her not to interfere in other people's affairs, and she really did not interfere. She didn't listen or say anything, and she didn't know the answer to any questions others asked her.

Whenever Old Lady Liu wanted to tell her to do something, she would say that Old Second Liu wouldn't let her do anything, and that she could wait until Old Second Liu came back to discuss anything.

Then when Liu Laoer comes back, he will make a fuss with the old man and the old woman. After a long time, no one will let Laoer do any work in their room anymore.

He Xiaoying sighed. She didn't want to think about the past anymore. When Liu Laoer came back, he would definitely take the opportunity to make a big fuss and then split the family business.

But those are other people's business. The most important thing for her now is to buy a new home.

"Director Li, I don't have any bills except the hundred yuan I was allocated. Can you find some in the black market to exchange for them?"

Li Cuiying didn't want her to take risks in the black market.

"I'll ask someone tomorrow to see if I can exchange some tickets. Don't go to the black market. They're being scrutinized pretty strictly lately."

Jiang Mengxue hasn't been to the black market recently and really doesn't know what's going on. Why are they starting to crack down on speculation and profiteering now?

Thinking of the money and tickets she still had from the Liu family, she planned to wait until the Liu family found out before returning them to He Xiaoying to avoid being exposed.

But why hasn't the Liu family started a commotion yet? With such a large sum of money missing, Mrs. Liu would surely be crying her heart out. Could it be that they haven't discovered it yet?

Old Mrs. Liu is really crying now. She just remembered today that He Xiaoying's winter supplies have not been used yet. She plans to sell her share when no one else has thought about it. She asked her for a hundred yuan. She is determined to make sure that He Xiaoying can't survive this winter.

As soon as she took out the iron box hidden under the bricks, she felt something was wrong: the weight was wrong, and the sound was wrong.

I opened the box with trembling hands and almost fainted.

"Oh my God, who moved my box? Where did the money go? Who took my money? Damn it, all my family's money is in here. Who is the shameless person who stole my money?"

The noise she made caused quite a stir. Not to mention how the other members of the Liu family reacted, even Old Man Liu, who had just been lying on the kang and about to fall asleep, was startled awake.

His family's small wooden bed is moved outside to sleep in the cool air in the summer. It is not needed in the winter because it is piled with things.

He knew that the old woman hid the money under the bed. No one in the family ever went there, and even children would not crawl under the bed when playing hide-and-seek, so he was quite relieved.

He quickly put on his clothes and got off the kang: "What happened? Stop crying. What money did you lose? How much did you lose?"

Old Mrs. Liu wasn't pretending this time, and she couldn't fake the tears on her face.

"Old man, our family is finished. All our savings are gone. Except for the few hundred dollars in our passbook, everything else is gone."

Old man Liu's heart skipped a beat. All their family's savings over the years were placed in this iron box.

They had previously discussed whether to put the money in a passbook, but people of their older generation wouldn't feel comfortable keeping the money in their own hands. What if they couldn't get the money out after putting it in that thin piece of paper?

Now I tell him that all the money is gone except for the passbook.

Bang!

Old man Liu was so angry that he slapped Old lady Liu in the face. He was so angry that he kicked her again, knocking her down and throwing her on the cabinet.

"All the money in the family was given to you, and this is how you collected it from me? Did the boss go gambling again and you secretly gave it to him? How many times have I told you not to give him any money, not to give him any money."

Old Mrs. Liu didn't dare to resist when she was beaten, and she just sat on the ground and cried.

"I didn't give it to you. I haven't given it to you since you said that. The money was still there when I gave that bitch a hundred dollars last time. Did someone steal it in the past two days?"

Old Mrs. Liu suddenly realized that her family had been driven out by He Xiaoying with a kitchen knife and did not dare to come back until the evening. No one was at home during this period. Who knew if someone had run into her house to steal things?

Old man Liu also calmed down, knowing that it was impossible that she gave it to the eldest brother. In the past, when the eldest brother gambled, the old woman would give him three or five dollars, but it was impossible for her to give all the family savings to him for gambling.

The eldest brother's family, Liu Laosan, and Liu Feng, the youngest daughter of the Liu family, all heard the noise and came over to see what was going on.

"What's wrong with Mom and Dad? Why are you making such a fuss? Can't you just talk it out peacefully? Why are you fighting?"

As soon as Liu Lao Da entered the house, he saw his mother sitting on the ground. He quickly signaled to Liu Lao San to go forward and help her up.

"Dad, what are you doing? What did my mom do that made you hit her?" Liu Feng saw the slap mark on her mother's face at a glance.

Old man Liu sat on a bench at the side: "Humph, ask your mother, ask her what happened."

Everyone's attention was immediately focused on Old Lady Liu.

"Mom, what happened?" Boss Liu was very impatient. He was exhausted after a day's work and still had so many things to do when he got home.

Liu Lao Da's wife Xu Yan saw the iron box fallen on the ground, went forward to pick it up and took a look. There was only a passbook with more than 300 yuan on it, and there was nothing else in the box.

I couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

He asked nervously, "Mom, why is there only over 300 yuan in this passbook? Where is our family's money? I remember you used to put all the family's money in an iron box. Where is the money?"

It's no wonder Xu Yan was anxious. The whole family turned over all their monthly salary. Except for a few dollars for pocket money every month, all the rest of the money was given to the old couple.

At that time, they thought that since the eldest brother's family had paid, the second and third brothers' families must do the same, otherwise they would be criticized.

Old Mrs. Liu's lips trembled and she didn't dare to say anything.

"What's wrong? What's wrong? It's lost. Think carefully about who has entered this house in the past two days? Have any neighbors or strangers come here?"

Lost? Lost?

"Dad, what did you say? The money is lost?" Xu Yan screamed.

Even though she didn't know how much money the family had, she knew everyone's salary and the family's expenses over the years, and she could figure out how much savings the family had with a simple calculation.

Not to mention that the couple has to hand over at least 50 yuan every month, my third brother also has more than 10 yuan, and my father-in-law's salary alone is more than 40 yuan.

Over the years, apart from the daily food and drink for the whole family and the children's schooling, there has been no major consumption.

The family savings should have been at least one thousand, if not two thousand, but it was all gone.

"Who did it? Dad, let's call the police and have them arrest the perpetrator. That's my future dowry. Mom, you promised to buy me a watch and a sewing machine. Now that we have no money left, what are you going to buy me?"
