"Mother...mother..."
Zhang Dagen tiptoed forward, stretched his neck, and called out a few times to Old Lady Zhang, who was snoring.
But all that came back to him from Old Lady Zhang was a loud snoring, the kind that starts halfway through and then suddenly goes silent, like she's about to die.
This made Zhang Dagen hold his breath, and he only breathed a sigh of relief when his wife started snoring again.
When he saw that his mother didn't respond after he called her name several times, Zhang Dagen was about to turn around and leave the room.
But as soon as he took a step back, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.
Anyway, he'll have to give all the money in this house to them sooner or later.
Since you can't take your mother's secret stash of money to her grave, it shouldn't be a problem for me to secretly take some.
Thinking of this, Zhang Dagen's eyes rolled around.
Then he turned around, quietly walked to Old Lady Zhang's bedside, and quietly pulled out the bunch of keys that she always kept tied to her waistband.
He remembered that his mother kept her secret stash of money in a wooden box in her room where she kept her clothes.
That box contained not only her secret stash of money, but also the grains, rice, noodles, and eggs she used for cooking.
Once he had the key in his hand, Zhang Dagen's breathing became much heavier.
After opening the box and carefully searching through it, I found a small cloth bag at the very bottom.
He glanced at it briefly and saw that it was indeed full of money and food coupons.
Before closing the box, he also took a small bag of flour and a few eggs and put them in his clothes.
Then he quickly left the house, gave the flour and eggs to Fu Xiuye, and asked her to make him some pancakes so he could eat them on his way to the county town.
Fu Xiuye was surprised that her husband could actually get flour and eggs from her mother-in-law; it was somewhat unbelievable.
However, she didn't think too much about it, after all, her husband was the only child of the Zhang family, wasn't he?
After hearing Zhang Dagen's words, Fu Xiuye went into the kitchen and made him some pancakes.
Zhang Dagen darted into his room and opened the cloth bag.
Inside, there were small bills, but also several one-yuan bills. After a rough calculation, I found that there were more than eight yuan in total, as well as five jin of grain coupons.
I don't know where this old woman got the money from, but no matter where she got it from, isn't all this money hers anyway?
Zhang Dagen was very pleased with himself and stuffed all the money into his pocket, thinking that as long as he got the rest of the things done, he would get another 40 yuan!
Thinking about how much money he was about to receive, Zhang Dagen was almost humming a tune with joy.
Fu Hongxing was unaware that Fu Xiuye and Zhang Dagen had caused trouble again.
On my day off, I went to the county town and asked someone I knew to register Xiuhua.
Because of Fu Hongxing's connections, there was absolutely no problem for Fu Xiuhua to enlist in the army.
However, she needs to undergo a medical examination first. Once she passes the examination, she only needs to sign the forms at the registration office in the county town.
Fu Hongxing helped Xiuhua get the medical examination form. Since it was her day off, she figured she might as well get it done in one day rather than dragging it out for several days.
So, he took Xiuhua to the hospital with him.
Zhang Dagen had no idea about this. He ran to the school to find Fu Xiuhua, only to be told that she had already left with her older brother.
When Zhang Dagen heard that his brother-in-law had actually come to the county town, he was first greatly surprised.
Does my brother-in-law know what I'm here for?
