On the second day, despite the strong wind, Xia Yu'e still got up early.
She was like a hardworking old bee. She prepared breakfast diligently, mopped the floor, and then opened the back door to wash the mop in the river behind.
As soon as she opened the door, the wind from outside rushed in. She didn't hold the door, and the back door was blown directly against the cabinet beside the door, making a loud noise. Xia Yu'e even felt that the ceiling shook.
She held the mop and hesitated whether to go to the river to wash. She was a little afraid that she would be blown into the river by such a strong wind.
Just when she was about to close the door and take a shower at home, something hit her in the face, and it hurt so much that she almost cried.
Something fell down, Xia Yu'e was confused. Could it be that the house was about to be blown down by the strong wind and the rocks fell down?
After Xia Yu'e came to her senses, she looked at the ground and saw a yellow oil-paper package with the words "Ham and Five-Nut Mooncake" faintly printed on the paper.
She picked it up with some confusion. Where did it come from?
Seeing that the thing was heavy, Xia Yu'e closed the back door, put the oil paper package on the table, and then opened it.
Old Mrs. Xia was awakened by her sister's scream. Her hair was messy and she ran out with only one shoe on. "What's wrong? What's wrong? Sister, what's wrong?"
Xia Yu'e didn't even dare to sit down. She pointed at the money and said, "Yu'e, money really is falling from the sky."
Old Mrs. Xia looked closely and saw a large stack of money tied with a red rope, neatly placed on the oil paper. Some of the money was very new, some was very old, and there was even a lot of change in it.
"Where did it come from?"
Xia Yu'e immediately recounted everything that had happened that morning, then asked anxiously, "Yu'e, don't you think the people who lived in this house before were bad guys? Could this be the money they left behind? We can't take it, it will get us into trouble. Let's just hand it over."
Old Lady Xia rummaged through the coins a few times and then said, "Sister, that's impossible. I remember this kind of ham and five-nut mooncake only came out during the Mid-Autumn Festival last year. It didn't exist before. That means the person who hid the money is definitely not a bad guy. Moreover, the money is in both small and large amounts, and there are a lot of bills..."
Old Mrs. Xia suddenly pulled out a yellowed piece of draft paper with the words "Machinery Factory" printed on it. "Machinery Factory... Sister, from the Machinery Factory?"
Xia Yu'e covered her mouth and said, "This...we don't have any workers from the machinery factory in our compound."
Old Lady Xia slammed the table in anger. "It must have been the idea of those little bastards of mine. I think it's most likely the third brother! This money...can't it be all of Chen Weiguo's wealth?"
Xia Yu'e: "This child... why is this child still stealing money?"
Old Lady Xia sneered and then put the money away. "I'll hide it first and see how they react when they find out the money is missing. Asking them then will probably be more effective. If they don't come to ask within three days, I'll take the initiative to get some information."
Xia Yu'e sighed. As expected, no matter what kind of child it is, it can make the mother worry to death. How can they steal money?
When Chen Xiangbei woke up, it was already afternoon. He was very busy last night and no one at home called him to eat, so he didn't know whether he was happy or unhappy that he could sleep until now.
He has moved to Chen Xianghong's room. Due to Yang Su's constant crying, Old Chen couldn't convince Chen Xiangbei and was too lazy to talk to him. He just changed the lock of the original house and it became Wang Ming and Wang Xian's room.
Chen Xiangbei accepted this reality after they had a quarrel at Wang's grandparents' house. Mainly because he felt that Chen Xiangnan had taken other people's money and didn't seem to intend to pay it back, and he was also planning to steal his father's money. He felt guilty, so he silently endured the bullying of Old Chen and Yang Su.
Although, I don’t know who is bullying whom.
Seeing the windows banging in the wind, Chen Xiangbei felt panicked. He was confused in his sleep and didn't think about the money for a moment. He thought he was hungry, so he got up to find something to eat.
After discovering that there was no food on the table, not even a sweet potato left for him, Chen Xiangbei was furious. Yang Su was not at home, but bursts of laughter came from the room of the two brothers Wang Ming and Wang Xian. Seeing that the door was ajar, he kicked it open and found that the two useless people were still holding sweet potatoes in their hands, and there were two apples on the low cabinet in the room.
He remembered this apple. It was brought home by his brainless father from the machinery factory. It was a welfare benefit from the factory.
He didn't even have anything to eat, but the two brothers had one each. How could Chen Xiangbei not be jealous?
In Chen Xiangbei's view, these two brothers are what they call... a cuckoo occupying the magpie's nest.
The recent influence has made Chen Xiangbei quite eloquent when facing his enemies. "You two robbed my house, not only did you steal apples and sweet potatoes, but you also stole them. Did you tell my dad that you want to eat sweet potatoes? So you eat them?"
Wang Ming jumped out of bed in fright. Normally, it would be impossible to scare a guy older than Chen Xiangbei, but Chen Xiangbei... was holding a hatchet in his hand, such a big hatchet.
Coupled with Chen Xiangbei's bloodshot eyes (because he slept too late last night), frowning brows and angry tone, the two brothers of the Wang family felt uneasy.
They just ate a sweet potato, they wouldn't lose their lives, right?
Chen Xiangbei was really angry. This home was no longer his original home. Now he was in this home, and there were strange traces and strange smells everywhere. Only this hatchet could awaken his previous memories. When his mother was still at home, she had chopped the door of their bedroom, which made him feel safe.
So, when he saw it, he just picked it up.
"Xiangbei, what are you doing? This apple was given to me by my mother, not stolen by me." Wang Ming explained immediately.
Chen Xiangbei: "If you didn't steal it, why did she give it to you and not to me? She is such a hypocritical person, and now she has to pretend to be a good wife and mother. She actually gave it to you and not to me in front of my father. This is absolutely impossible. Either you stole it, or your mother stole it."
Wang Ming: "Uncle Chen told my mom to take out a few apples to eat, otherwise they will go bad. It has nothing to do with us, right?"
Chen Xiangbei: "My dad only told you guys to eat it, but he didn't tell me to eat it?"
Wang Ming: "Nothing was said, nothing was said!"
Chen Xiangbei: "Then your mother is biased. She just wants to give all the good things to you and starve me to death. Is she thinking of killing me so that she can spend all my money on you?
You said your family is a bunch of losers. None of the three of you can find a job. Your eldest brother's job was traded by your mother. Wang Ming, you are even more useless. You can't find a job so you just stay at home and eat, drink, and live in my father's house. And Wang Xian, you can't get anything out of it even with three sticks. Can't you see that your family is ruined? You still have the nerve to eat apples. If you have the guts, go ask, is this for you to eat? "
Chen Xiangbei took the apple directly and slapped Wang Ming hard while he was cursing and snatching it. It happened to be seen by Yang Su who had just picked up Old Chen from get off work.
Yang Su screamed.
