But in the end, they only found a small cloth bag in a box on the kang, which contained dozens of dollars.
Only a few dollars were stuffed in several places, and a few large silver dollars were found in an earthenware jar in the corner.
It was getting late and I had already checked everywhere I could find it, so it probably wouldn't be there anymore.
The two men hurried back to the house to divide the loot first.
No, it’s about dividing the money.
They earned it, and it's what they deserve.
I was worried that the children would wake up at night and accidentally say something outside.
So tonight the children from both families slept in Liu Sanhai's house, while the four adults lived in Liu Erhai's house.
Seeing the two men coming back, Liu Erhai and Liu Sanhai immediately came forward to greet them.
"Did you find it? Was it seen by the Fourth Family?"
The two of them stayed in the house and didn't go out because they were afraid that the noise they made would be too loud and wake up Xu Xiaolian and her children.
Sun Fenfen sat on the kang, took out all the money she had on her body and spread it on the kang.
"Found it. I don't know if there are any other places, but it's good to find these."
Sun Fenfen ignored the three people's excitement and counted out all the money.
The total is about three hundred and twenty yuan.
Because the Liu family has basically not spent much money in recent years, except for occasionally spending some money to make a new piece of clothing for Liu Jinbao.
But it wasn’t much. After all, there were no cloth coupons in the countryside, and you couldn’t buy it even if you had money.
Then I bought some snacks for Liu Jinbao.
Old Mrs. Liu never wanted to sell the eggs at home. After all, Liu Jinbao loved to eat them, and she couldn't treat her precious grandson badly.
For example, ordinary families send their saved eggs to the purchasing station to exchange for some oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, needles and thread, etc. This can save some expenses and save more money.
I just think that the food at home is a little worse, but eggs are a good thing and no one would be willing to eat them often.
Even though the Liu family didn't send their eggs to the purchasing station, the rest of the family didn't have much of a change in their diet. They barely ate a single egg in a month, as most of it went into Liu Jinbao's stomach.
But there is no point thinking about these things. It has already passed. As long as they live a good life in the future, that is more important than anything else.
There were a total of ten silver coins found in the earthen jar, wrapped in paper and wrapped with a piece of cloth.
It was obvious that the old couple also kept it very carefully.
Sun Fenfen told everyone the exact amount of everything, and then it was time for the two of them to divide the money.
"This money, our two families each get 160, five silver dollars each, and there are some cloth coupons. I'll pay some money, and these coupons will be given to my family, okay?
It's not in vain to have a sister-in-law. You know that Daya is not young anymore and she will be looking for a husband in the next two years.
We, as parents, are useless. As the eldest child in the family, Daya has rarely worn new clothes. Some of them were given to her by her grandmother.
When she says yes, I will definitely make her two new sets of clothes. I can’t let anyone look down on her.”
If a girl is not valued in her parents' home, then her husband's family will not care much about her either. At least they want people to know that although the couple has no son, their girl is not picked up and they deserve everything she deserves.
Liu Laosan and his wife naturally had no objection. Their eldest daughter was almost fifteen years old this year and would be ready to get married in a year or two. However, the daughters of Liu Laoer were older, and the three eldest daughters were getting married almost every year.
"Look at what you said, sister-in-law. If your family is in a hurry to use it, you can use it first. My family's children are still young. I will have to borrow them from you in a few years. Just use them directly."
Lin Meizhi is not that ignorant.
If Sun Fenfen had not been willing to take her with her, she might not even get a few dollars when the family property was divided in the future, and she could not even dream of getting a hundred dollars.
So the cloth coupons should be given directly to Sun Fenfen, without any objection.
"That's all I need to know. Tomorrow, Erhai and Sanhai should go to work as they should. The third brother's wife and I will go to the clinic to see what's going on.
If we don't show any reaction to such a big thing happening to my parents-in-law, and the fourth brother's family tells others about it, we won't know what others will say.
My parents are in this condition now, and they will need someone to take care of them full-time in the future. I don’t know how much it will cost at the health center. Even if outsiders say something about it, you can’t not go to work, otherwise how will we survive?
But the third son's wife and I can only take half a day off, and the rest of the time we can let the maids go. We still have to go to work."
Sun Fenfen had already thought things through thoroughly.
She had even thought about what to do if the old couple needed someone to take care of them at home, or if they simply couldn't wake up and fell asleep.
But it’s not time yet, so there’s no need to tell them, lest they get talked about outside.
——
The next day, Sun Fenfen took Lin Meizhi to the health center.
On the way, I met many people going to work, and I would stop every few steps to chat with them.
I casually mentioned what happened at the dinner table the day before.
But they only talked about what Liu Jinbao said, and the old couple's usual favoritism. Over the years, their family's money and grain have been collected by his parents-in-law.
In short, many people inadvertently learned how hard life was for the two families at home, and all the good things were given to Liu Laosi's family by the old couple.
When the two of them arrived at the clinic, Liu Laosi was already standing in the yard.
Jiang Mengxue was examining the elderly couple in the house. Neither of them had woken up the night before.
Old Mrs. Liu's condition was better. Jiang Mengxue could accurately judge that although her condition was not good, at least she was still alive.
But it’s hard to say about Mr. Liu. Judging from today’s pulse, Jiang Mengxue really can’t be sure. Maybe he died in his sleep that day.
After giving the two people the injection, I planned to go out and explain the situation to their families.
There are no conditions in the countryside to conduct detailed examinations for the two elders. If you want to know the specific results, you can only go to a large hospital.
Just at this time, Sun Fenfen and Lin Meizhi also arrived. Not long after they arrived, Xu Xiaolian also came over and planned to let Liu Sihai go home and rest for half a day because he had to go to work in the afternoon.
Seeing people coming, Jiang Mengxue called them into the office and asked them to sit on the chairs.
First, record the medical conditions of the two elderly people today, and then start discussing the subsequent treatment of the elderly couple with their family members.
"The old lady woke up once yesterday and she will probably wake up this afternoon."
Hearing Jiang Mengxue say this, Xu Xiaolian breathed a sigh of relief. If her aunt didn't exist in this family, she would really have no one to rely on in the future.
Liu Sihai often took food from his home to the widow Ju's house at the village entrance. She knew about this.
But as long as she has Jinbao, her position in this family will not be shaken, and her aunt will not agree to let a widow into the family.
Of course, she never made this clear to Liu Sihai.
If Liu Sihai knew what she was thinking, he would only say how stupid she was.
