When Xu Songyuan got home, he covered his face and cried.
He wronged Chen Zhi.
Xu Songyuan roused himself and pondered his next move. He took a small hoe and went into the grove.
The grove of trees is located between the two houses of Xu Songyuan and Xu Zhongtang.
There was a bamboo grove and a few trees inside, and the ground was covered with dry leaves.
Xu Songyuan's mind replayed the scene from the first time. His eyes grew redder and redder, and a fierce look appeared in his eyes as he stared in the direction of Xu Zhongtang's house.
Xu Songyuan went up the mountain again.
He went to the pond where the accident happened.
At that time, bamboo baskets and mushrooms were scattered all over the ground, some falling onto the bank and some falling into the pond. Chen Zhi was pale as she floated on the water.
Xu Zhongtang's fists tightened more and more.
When evening came, Xu Songyuan went next door. He moved quietly, going around to a wooden window in the grove.
Xu Zhongtang's family kept a dog, which was tied up at the front gate of the yard. It was far away, so they couldn't hear Xu Songyuan's movements.
The lights were on inside, and the Xu family was having dinner.
Xu Peng's face was bruised and swollen; he had been beaten by Xu Zhongtang during the robbery, and the marks on his face hadn't faded yet.
Xu Zhongtang glared at him, "Look at your bastard-like appearance, it annoys me."
Xu Peng muttered under his breath, "All you do is scold me. If you're so capable, go find Uncle! He must be colluding with someone to trick me!"
Xu Zhongtang said with a stern face: "Whether he's lying to you or not, you're stupid! I didn't even make any arrangements, and you still dared to act on your own. It's a good thing you're not in jail!"
Sun Xiumin: "Forget it, let's not talk about her anymore."
Xu Xue muttered along, "Mom and Dad, I feel like Xu Songyuan has been acting strange lately. He's about to die, but he still went to work today. Could it be that he's recovered?"
Xu Zhongtang wasn't sure either. He hadn't tested the drug himself, and it was normal for Xu Songyuan to experience side effects after trying it a few times...
Suddenly, Xu Zhongtang's gaze sharpened, fixed on Xu Xue's hand.
"Who told you to wear this? Where did you get it?"
Xu Xue, unaware of what was happening, was startled by Xu Zhongtang's question, "Dad, what's wrong?"
Sun Xiumin quickly said, "I gave it to her last night. It's just sitting there anyway, so I might as well give it to Xiaoxue. When she gets married, she'll need some decent jewelry. Her dowry money is gone, so I can't just give her a silver bracelet."
Xu Chenggang, who had been eating in silence, put down his chopsticks.
"Take it."
"grandfather……"
Xu Zhongtang looked nervous.
Sun Xiumin frowned, her expression displeased.
Xu Chenggang said with a stern face, "This is evidence. You wear it around so ostentatiously, are you afraid Xu Songyuan won't see it? More than ten years is not a long time, but it's not a short time either. Are you sure Xu Songyuan has forgotten?"
Xu Zhongtang immediately said, "Dad, I'll take it to town to deal with it tomorrow."
Xu Xue bit her lip. "What's wrong with this bracelet?"
Xu Peng also looked curious.
Xu Zhongtang roared, "Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask!"
Xu Xue was so angry that she dared not mention her encounter with Xu Songyuan that day.
She swallowed hard and continued eating.
Xu Chenggang added, "You should have taken it to the city to sell back then!"
This bracelet was snatched from Chen Zhi. Sun Xiumin liked it so much when she saw it that she insisted on keeping it and wouldn't let Xu Zhongtang take it to sell or melt it down. So she kept it with her.
Xu Chenggang always thought that Xu Zhongtang had dealt with it.
I never expected Xu Zhongtang to be such a careless person!
Xu Zhongtang: "Dad, it's too urgent to send it to the city tomorrow, so I'll just take it to the town to melt it down. It's a design that's over ten years old, I doubt anyone will remember it."
Xu Chenggang grunted in agreement and started smoking.
Xu Xue reluctantly took it off her hand.
The room fell silent.
Xu Songyuan dared not make a move.
He clenched his fists, wishing he could just chop everyone inside to death!
After Xu Zhongtang and the others finished eating, Sun Xiumin went to wash the dishes, and there was some noise inside again.
Xu Songyuan took the opportunity to go home.
The room was dimly lit, and Xu Songyuan sharpened a kitchen knife and placed it under his pillow.
He didn't sleep all night and went to town early the next morning.
There is only one silver jewelry store in town.
Xu Songyuan stood guard in the teahouse across the street. It was market day, and there were quite a few people in the teahouse. He kept his eyes fixed on the opposite side.
At 10 a.m., Xu Zhongtang was finally seen going in.
A short while later, the owner, Master Zhou, gave Xu Zhongtang a few yuan, which Xu Zhongtang stuffed into his bag and hurriedly left.
Xu Songyuan waited until everyone had gone far away before entering the silver jewelry shop.
"Master Chen."
"Hey? Brother Xu, what brings you here? Your cousin just left."
Master Chen is two years younger than Xu Songyuan, and that bracelet was made here.
Before Xu Songyuan could speak, Master Chen couldn't help but ask, "You really separated from Xu Xue? Oh dear, I told you that girl had problems. You actually raised her like your own daughter. That's no good. It's better to have your own flesh and blood. You can rest assured with your own children."
"They've separated." Xu Songyuan didn't say much, getting straight to the point. He took five yuan out of his bag.
"Master Chen, here's five yuan. Xu Zhongtang just came here to sell a bracelet. Please keep it for me separately, I need it."
Master Chen's mouth dropped open. "What do you mean?"
Xu Songyuan: "After raising her for so many years, I'll come back to collect the bracelet when she gets married. Bringing it home now just annoys me."
Master Chen frowned. "Brother Xu, are you out of your mind?"
Xu Songyuan said helplessly, "Just do as I say, keep this bracelet for me."
Since Xu Songyuan had already said so, Master Chen took the bracelet, didn't look at it closely, put it in a separate bag, and then put it in the box. "You watch over it, I've put it away properly."
