Chapter 212 Stealing Money
Jiang Xinbai was also stunned by what Su Qiuyan said, but she quickly reacted and quickly returned the money, saying with a smile, "Mom, you keep the money. I'll take Xiaobao back first."
Seeing this, Sun Erni didn't know what to say, so she had to put the money away first, thinking of finding an opportunity to give it back later.
Su Qiuyan was also used to Jiang Xinbai's attitude, so she didn't say much. She just looked at Sun Erni and said, "Mom, I have something to go out for tomorrow. Can you help me look after Jingjing?"
Upon hearing this, Sun Erni frowned, "Why do you go out all day? I can help you look after the children tomorrow, but not later. I will also take care of Xiufen's Xiaoyuan from now on. It's enough for me to take care of two children by myself. You should take care of Jingjing by yourself!"
"I'm going out to make money. No, Mom, you said you want to help Damei look after her children? No, Mom, Jingjing is your granddaughter after all, and you don't help look after her. Doesn't Xiufen have a grandmother? Why does she need you to look after her? Besides, they say nephews are dogs, nephews are dogs, they eat and leave, you have to make the distinction!"
Su Qiuyan never expected that her mother-in-law was so confused. She would rather help her married daughter take care of the children than help her, not to mention that she was doing serious work.
Sun Er Nicole didn't care and replied directly: "I don't care whether he is close to me or not. Anyway, Xiufen said that she would give me 15 yuan a month. Why shouldn't I take care of the child with this money? It's not like I haven't taken care of your child before. Didn't I raise Lili?"
Su Qiuyan's eyes lit up when she heard fifteen yuan, and she asked hurriedly, "Mom, is this true? Did my elder sister really give you money? I hope she didn't just try to make you happy?"
"Why are you trying to coax me? She's already given me the money. Okay, I'm going to cook. I'll take care of you for a day tomorrow, but I won't have time the day after tomorrow." Sun Erni also exposed her partiality, but she had the confidence to do so.
In the room, Su Qiuyan thought about it and told her husband Yang Jinwei about her mother-in-law helping Yang Xiufen take care of the children. At the end, she asked, "Jinwei, do you think what mom said is true? Xiufen gives mom 15 yuan a month. She is really willing to spend money!"
Yang Jinwei also heard this news for the first time. He paused and asked, "Who told you this?"
"Who else could it be that mom said that? You said I originally wanted mom to bring Jingjing to me, so I went out to look for a matchmaker, but now all my plans have fallen through." Su Qiuyan's confidence soared after her first successful matchmaking, and she felt that she should become a matchmaker.
"What's the big deal? You can just take Jingjing with you."
"Hey, look at what you said, how can it be so convenient to take care of a baby who needs to eat and poop?"
"So what do you say we should do?"
"Would I ask you if I had a way?"
…
Mrs. Zhou originally thought that Yang Xiufen would eventually beg her to help take care of the children. She had already thought about it. As long as Yang Xiufen came to ask, she would increase the pension. Ten yuan a month was not enough. She wanted fifteen, no, twenty, twenty. The eldest brother and his wife made a lot of money a month, so why couldn't she give her twenty yuan for her pension?
At this time, Fang Xiaoyue came in from outside. Seeing her mother-in-law with a leisurely face, she was furious. She threw the woven bag heavily on the table and said, "Mom, my sister-in-law has gone to work, so your abacus can't work."
"What? Yang Xiufen went to work? What about the child? Did she really send him to a nursery? Oh, what a black-hearted woman! How could she bear to send Xiaoyuan to a nursery when he is so young? How much money will it cost? She really doesn't know how to manage the family. No, I have to talk to the boss. How can we spend so much money!"
As Old Mrs. Zhou was talking, she walked out. She thought to herself, it would be great if the money was given to her, why was it wasted on the nursery.
"Hey, Mom..." Fang Xiaoyue wanted to say something, but suddenly she thought of the cabinet in her mother-in-law's room, and she felt itchy. So she went to the corridor and looked down. After watching her mother-in-law slowly walk away, she immediately went back to the house, locked the doors and windows, and ran to her mother-in-law's room.
Looking at the closet in front of her, she thought that her mother-in-law must have hidden something in it, or money. Anyway, she was just going to take a look and was not going to take anything. After convincing herself in her heart, Fang Xiaoyue opened the closet and searched carefully, fearing that she would mess up the things inside and be seen. However, after searching around, she found nothing except a few cakes.
She stood in front of the closet and silently recalled her mother-in-law's expression that day. There must be something hidden, but how come there was nothing?
Fang Xiaoyue was still unwilling to give up. She walked around the room again and suddenly looked at the pillow where her mother-in-law slept. She reached out her hand and felt around it inch by inch, but still found nothing.
Then she lifted the mattress and looked again, but still nothing. At this point, Fang Xiaoyue began to doubt herself. Was she overthinking? Where was the money her mother-in-law had saved? Wasn't it all spent?
As she was thinking, her eyes unconsciously glanced at the position of the chamber pot. Suddenly, an idea came to her mind. Could it be hidden in the chamber pot? Thinking of this, Fang Xiaoyue didn't mind the dirtiness. She squatted down and opened the chamber pot to take a look. She almost vomited. She didn't know how many days of feces and urine had been accumulated, but she didn't even pour them out. Her mother-in-law was really good. She closed the lid with disdain. When she was about to stand up, she found something sticking out from the corner of the chamber pot. It seemed to be a cloth bag?
She was delighted, thinking, could it be hiding underneath?
So he held his breath, reached out and picked up the chamber pot, and sure enough, there was a small cloth bag underneath.
Fang Xiaoyue was very happy when she found the things. She quickly put the chamber pot aside and opened the cloth bag. It was full of money, neatly stacked. She counted it roughly and there should be more than four hundred, almost five hundred.
Well, her mother-in-law always complained about being poor to her, but she didn't expect that she actually had so much money hidden. So an idea came to her mind and she wanted to take a few tickets and take them away.
Thinking so, she did so. In order not to be discovered, Fang Xiaoyue was smart enough to take out a few bills from each stack and took out a total of twenty yuan.
At this time, there was a knock on the door, accompanied by the mother-in-law's loud voice, "Fang Xiaoyue, why are you closing the door in broad daylight? Open the door for me."
Fang Xiaoyue's hands trembled when she heard her mother-in-law's voice, and she almost dropped the money on the ground. It was the first time for her to do such a thing, and she was afraid of being discovered. But in the end, she calmed down, quickly restored the scene to its original state, and then messed up the quilt in her room, pulled her hair, and then ran to open the door.
"Mom, why did you come back so soon? I was so sleepy just now that I fell asleep. I haven't been in good spirits these past few days." Fang Xiaoyue yawned as she spoke and squinted at Grandma Zhou.
