"Drug?"
Xia Ziheng's face changed with shock, and he subconsciously grabbed Xia Zichen's hand.
Xia Zichen lowered his voice and said, "Last night, my eldest brother and second brother fell asleep first, and then we both fell asleep too."
"The four of us all had our own concerns and planned to take action tonight, but in the end, everyone slept until dawn. This is impossible. It's obvious that someone tampered with the food." Xia Zichen analyzed.
Xia Ziheng frowned, "Is there anyone else who cares about grandpa and grandma's things?"
He finally got smart for once.
Xia Zichen nodded. "Who cooked dinner last night? Our mother or our aunt?"
"It was done by my second sister-in-law."
The two men's eyes lit up at the same time, and they looked towards the front yard inconspicuously.
"Could it be that Second Sister-in-law is plotting against us in order to steal things from the house?"
Xia Ziheng said, "This bitch, I'm going to kill her!"
Xia Ziheng was grabbed by Xia Zichen's arm.
"Don't forget, Second Sister-in-law is the granddaughter of Mrs. Wang. What did Mrs. Wang do before?"
"We don't know how many medicines and prescriptions she has. She also has some extraordinary methods. If you go to her like this, aren't you afraid that she will kill you?" Xia Zichen's voice was cold.
Xia Ziheng shuddered. It sounded a little dangerous.
"What should we do?" Xia Ziheng asked.
"I don't know what to do now. I'm not sure if this was a conspiracy between my second brother and his wife, or if his wife did it all on her own. We don't know how much money grandpa and grandma hid, so asking for it is useless."
"Besides, it's not just my second sister-in-law who can touch the food during the cooking process. Everyone in our family can touch it. She won't admit it."
Both brothers looked unhappy, but they finally decided that they had no other options except to supervise Wang Cui.
The two men sighed and returned to the front yard.
Xia Jianguo and Xia Zhiqiang both got up this morning, and both of them seemed to be in better spirits.
Xia Jianguo gathered everyone together. If he had found Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia's things by himself, he would certainly not tell the second wife.
But the things were found by the police and were kept in the brigade, so he couldn't hide this matter.
Since I can’t hide it, I might as well just say it directly.
"Zhiqiang, sister-in-law, when Public Security Li came over yesterday, he said he wanted to find some evidence. They searched my parents' room inside and out and found some money they left behind."
As soon as Xia Jianguo finished speaking, the eyes of Xia Zixuan, Xia Zirui, Xia Ziheng and Xia Zichen fell on Xia Jianguo's face at the same time.
Xia Zhiqiang's eyes also lit up.
"Two hundred dollars in cash."
"But Public Security Li said that we can't use these things for the time being. They are all kept in the brigade. The money will be returned to us after they finish investigating my parents' case," said Xia Jianguo.
"It will cost us some money to arrange our parents' funeral. When the money comes back, after deducting the funeral expenses, the rest will be divided equally between us two brothers."
Xia Jianguo looked at Xia Zhiqiang, "Zhiqiang, do you agree?"
Xia Zhiqiang nodded immediately.
What's there to disagree with? The money and notes his parents hid can be divided among them. At least they can get 70 or 80 yuan, and some notes. His family's life will be better immediately.
"Okay, big brother, I'll listen to you."
"My parents' house belongs to me and my brother, and we each get half."
Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia have two rooms in total, so this division is fair.
"There is a kitchen and a warehouse. The kitchen supplies cost ten dollars more than the warehouse. Then we can convert the warehouse into a kitchen. Then we can build a wall between them and we will have two families." Xia Jianguo continued.
Xia Zhiqiang nodded and agreed.
"The kitchen is closer to our house, so we want the kitchen. Big brother and sister-in-law's place is closer to the warehouse. We'll give you ten dollars, and then we can separate our two families."
"Okay, the backyard will also be directly from the middle of the house. Build a wall or insert branches to separate the two houses."
"There's no toilet near my house." Zhao Meilan muttered softly.
"Sister-in-law, my brother and I will dig a toilet together."
Zhao Meilan had nothing to say, and the matter was settled.
After the family had breakfast, Xia Ziheng and Xia Zichen were both refreshed.
No matter who drugged them last night and who searched Old Man and Old Lady Xia's house, they ended up getting nothing.
After all, this is a house that has been jointly inspected by several police departments. What else could be left?
The things are in the brigade, and sooner or later they will fall into the hands of their father, and then they will be theirs.
Wang Cui didn't say anything the whole time. She acted as a background member very obediently. It turned out that there were no other money or bills because the police had searched the agency once. If they knew what was in the secret compartment of the agency, they would have taken it away too.
Xia Zixuan and Xia Zirui were depressed, but since things had come to this point, there was no point in being depressed and they could only accept reality.
The end result was that everyone worked in vain.
"Okay then. I'll go ask someone later to see if Mom and Dad are going up the mountain together tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."
Xia Jianguo went out for a while and came back to confirm that Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia could be buried tomorrow morning. He asked someone to notify Xia Weian.
Xia Weian knew that Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia would be buried together tomorrow morning, so he told Song Qingyun about it.
"Tomorrow is Sunday, and the children are all at home. We have to go out early. We should probably go to the old house around four o'clock."
"I'll call Ruo Kui and ask her to get up and lock the gate."
"Okay." Xia Weian responded.
According to their local custom, women in the family are not allowed to participate when going up the mountain.
However, the wives in the family have to stay at the mourning hall until the men have finished all the follow-up matters and come back. After everyone has a meal together, they can go home.
The two chatted and continued to do their daily things normally.
The next morning, Xia Ruokui was woken up by Song Qingyun. She put on her clothes and came out to lock the door.
After all this getting up and going through, Xia Ruokui was no longer sleepy.
She didn't go back to her room, thinking she wasn't going to sleep anyway, for fear of waking her sisters. After she finished memorizing the text, she would prepare breakfast.
Xia Ruokui stood in the yard and recited the text. Her voice was not loud, but it was extremely clear.
Waking up every morning, reciting the text with emotion and passion is Xia Ruokui's compulsory course.
She wants to be an announcer and has high demands on herself, especially after Shen Wan's guidance, she now has a good grasp of pronunciation and breath.
Xia Ruokui was reciting the text seriously when she suddenly heard footsteps approaching her door.
Xia Ruokui was slightly surprised, but thinking that her parents might have forgotten to bring something back, she put down the book and walked quickly to the door.
"Who is it?"
