The whole family was looking forward to holding a full-month banquet for Fubao, and they were so happy every time they talked about it. But someone actually stole the money. This was undoubtedly a major blow to the Shen family, who were already struggling to make ends meet!
After all, there will be some money left after the full moon banquet, which is related to the family's food supply. Now the money is gone, and it is estimated that we will have to continue to eat coarse food this month. The children are not getting enough nutrition and are very thin.
But Old Lady Shen didn't do it on purpose. She blamed the thief for being so abominable. So even though Lin Xiujuan felt bad, she still comforted her, "Mom, the money is lost, so at worst we won't have the wedding."
"It's all my fault. I'm useless! I'm sorry Fubao!" Old Mrs. Shen looked at Fubao, couldn't help wiping her tears, and turned to go into her room.
…
Old Mrs. Shen became autistic and locked herself in the room, not eating or drinking all day.
As night fell, a kerosene lamp was lit in the room. The light was dim, and some small insects flew around the light.
By now dinner was ready. The family looked at the sweet potatoes and steamed buns on the table without any appetite. The four boys had completely lost their usual energy and just stared blankly with their chins in their hands, looking disappointed.
Lin Xiujuan held Fubao in her arms without saying a word, feeling very depressed.
Not to mention Old Man Shen, who was feeling disappointed and angry at the same time, but couldn't say anything harsh to blame Old Lady Shen, so the whole house fell into an eerie silence.
Fubao lay in Lin Xiujuan's arms, blinking his eyes like black grapes, looking at this and that, thinking that the Shen family was indeed unlucky.
Shen Jianlin worked hard in the construction team from dawn to dusk and only earned a little money, but it was all in vain!
Shen Jianlin sat for a while, then stood up and walked to Old Lady Shen's room. He didn't go in, but just stood outside the curtain and said, "Mom, if the money is lost, it's lost. You can earn it again. Don't blame yourself too much. Come out and have something to eat?"
Old Mrs. Shen did not respond, only faint sobbing could be heard, and Fubao couldn't bear it.
Grandma was really good to her and really loved her, so she was so sad when she lost the money.
"Ah ah..." She opened her mouth and shouted twice.
Shen Jianlin said quickly, "Mom, listen! Fubao is calling you. She wants you to hold her! Can you come out soon?"
When she heard Fubao's voice, Mrs. Shen almost wanted to go out and hug her immediately. But when she thought about how she had lost so much money and felt sorry for Fubao, she immediately sat back and continued to wipe her tears.
"What should we do?" Lin Xiujuan looked at Shen Jianlin worriedly, "This is not a solution."
Shen Jianlin scratched his head, "I don't know either. The money was stolen, but we still have to hold our daughter's full moon party, and we can't let her down. Can we borrow some money from someone and make the party simpler?"
"Alas..." Lin Xiujuan sighed, feeling sad, "How about... let's not hold the full moon banquet, and hold a hundred-day banquet for Fubao instead."
Old man Shen from the next room immediately retorted, "That won't work. We still have to hold the full moon party! Jianlin is right. We can't let Fubao down. Jianlin, go find someone to borrow some money from. We have to hold Fubao's full moon party!"
Shen Jianlin responded, "Then I will go back to the county tomorrow and see if I can ask the foreman to advance next month's wages."
In Fubao's opinion, the full moon banquet really doesn't have to be held, but her father and his family are so good to her that she feels it would be unfair to her if she doesn't hold it.
Fubao simply started crying to express his protest, but crying was of no use. Shen Jianlin had already made up his mind to go to the county town tomorrow. Old Mrs. Shen still refused to come out for dinner and was still feeling extremely guilty.
There is no other way. It seems I can only use my spiritual power!
