"My family has no money!"
Xu Yuetuan's momentum also weakened, but she really had no money. Hu Laosan was unemployed and idle all year round, only able to fill his own stomach. The family relied entirely on the meager wages Xu Yuetuan earned at the shoe factory. Where would they get the money?
Ye Qingqing glanced at Hu Laosan, who was covered in cold sweat on the ground, and sneered, "You have no money, but your man has money!"
Although she disliked Xu Yuetuan, she still felt some sympathy for the woman. Hu Laosan was indulging in debauchery outside, had no sense of responsibility, and did not take on the burden of supporting his family. It was not easy for Xu Yuetuan to raise two children on her own.
With his mahjong parlor and pimp selling sex drugs, how could Hu Laosan possibly be broke?
This man just spends all his money on other women. Poor Xu Yuetuan actually thought Hu Laosan had no money, so she fed and clothed him well!
"I have no money..." Old Hu would of course not admit it, and said with a pained expression.
Ye Qingqing shouted to the old lady, "Grandma, search him!"
She raised the hoe, pointing the sharp edge at Hu Laosan's head. If Hu Laosan moved even slightly, his head would be chopped in two. He was so frightened that his legs went weak, and he dared not move at all.
The old woman's eyes gleamed as she carried a large iron ladle in one hand and searched Hu Laosan's body with the other. She first searched his upper pockets and found only a few loose one- or two-yuan notes, totaling less than ten yuan.
Undeterred, the old woman continued her search. She found something bulging around Hu Laosan's waist, and her eyes lit up. She threw down the large iron spoon and, with both hands, pulled out the cloth bag that Hu Laosan had wrapped around his waist.
The old lady emptied everything out of the room, which was quite an eye-opener.
Several mahjong tiles, eight out of ten of them are lucky numbers, red tiles, etc., several small paper packets, and several bundles of 100-yuan bills, bundled together and tied with rubber bands, a total of four bundles.
Hu Laosan's eyes turned red, and he reached out to grab the money, but Ye Qingqing brandished her hoe and said in a deep voice, "Do you want to die?"
Taking advantage of the moment when Hu Laosan froze, the old lady was quick-witted and grabbed all four bundles of coins. She untied the rubber bands, revealing that each bundle contained five hundred coins, for a total of two thousand coins.
"Trying to fool me? Humph!"
The old lady picked up the large iron ladle again, clutching the money tightly. Once the money was in her hands, there was no way she could take it out again!
Xu Yuetuan was surprised, but she quickly realized that her husband had hidden money and would rather watch his wife and children not be able to afford meat than give it to them.
"Third brother, do you have that much money?" Xu Yuetuan glared at Hu Laosan and questioned him angrily.
Hu Laosan felt a little guilty and didn't dare to look her in the eye. He lowered his head and remained silent.
He got this money from slaughtering a fat pig a few days ago. He originally planned to use it to try the fresh chickens that had just arrived, but he didn't expect Ye Qingqing to expose it today.
"You bastard Hu Laosan! I work so hard to support this family, and you have money but won't give it to me! Zhiwei and Zhihong are your own children! Have you no conscience?!"
Xu Yuetuan could no longer bear it, so she pounced on Hu Laosan, grabbed his hair, and started cursing and tearing at it.
In an instant, the external war turned into a civil war, and Ye Qingqing and the old lady had nothing to do with it anymore.
Ye Qingqing whispered in the old lady's ear, "Grandma, give Xu Yuetuan back a thousand yuan."
The old lady's face immediately darkened, and she glared at Ye Qingqing warily, her hands clenching even tighter. "Why do you want to pay it back!"
Once the money's in her pocket, it can't fly away even if it grows wings!
“We just said a thousand yuan. You have to keep your word. So many neighbors saw it. If you don’t pay it back, people will definitely talk,” Ye Qingqing reasoned with the old lady.
