Chapter 1502 Lu Family Great-grandson 2
Ma Cuixia has four older brothers and one younger brother. The five brothers have a total of 23 nephews. The eldest nephew is in his thirties, the oldest great-nephew is fifteen years old, and the youngest nephew is sixteen years old and is in school. It can be said that her family is very large and powerful. As the only aunt in the family, her status in her mother's family is self-evident.
Her brothers and sisters are all kind, honest and capable people. Her nephews respect her very much. Several of them are able to go to school with the financial support of her and Hu Ping. Even if there are occasional disagreements between the aunt and the sister-in-law, it is not a big deal for her.
Ma Cuixia was calculating how much wild game and mountain products she could buy with the money in her pocket, and she sensed something strange as she entered her eldest brother's house.
The whole family was filled with gloom and sadness.
"Xiaoxia is here? Come and sit on the kang by yourself, don't ask me to greet you." Boss Ma, who was sitting cross-legged on the kang smoking, moved his butt to the side, and his wrinkled bronze face was full of bitterness.
"Brother, what happened at home? Why didn't anyone tell me?" Ma Cuixia asked.
Ma Dasao was sitting on the kang, wiping away tears. When she saw Ma Cuixia, she felt like she saw a savior. "Aunt, can your uncle find someone to help with this matter?"
Ma Cuixia was getting anxious, "What's going on? Sister-in-law, tell me."
"It was Xiao Shuanzi." Ma Dasao choked up, "yesterday your eldest brother was having dinner at the secretary's house, and Xiao Shuanzi followed to play. I don't know what happened, but he started fighting with the secretary's grandson Tiezhu. There's nothing wrong with children fighting, but the two kids knocked over the kang table, and the kerosene lamp on the kang table fell over, and it happened to fall on a wool blanket, burning a large piece of it!"
Ma Cuixia was stunned. "It's just a burnt wool blanket. How did it become such a big deal? Are you all so worried?"
Mrs. Ma couldn't help but say, "That's a wool blanket bought in the capital! It was bought in a department store. The secretary's new son-in-law bought it for his daughter Ma Xiaoling. It was delivered yesterday and was taken as a dowry when she got married! The secretary's wife took it out to show off and put it on the kang, but she didn't know that the two boys were naughty and caused such a big disaster! Ma Xiaoling sat on the ground and cried, and insisted that we compensate her, and compensate her with an identical one! Our family has money now, but we don't have it. Several families have pooled together, but we can't buy the same wool blanket. The eldest brother and his wife went to the city, and they didn't have such a product here."
Boss Ma tapped his pipe against the edge of the kang to knock off the ash. "Xiaoxia, Ma Xiaoling's wedding is scheduled for the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month, the same day as our Xiaoman's. Xiaoman's father has a wide circle of friends, and her aunt married a military officer. Can you please ask them to see if they can get a similar wool blanket for them? We will pay for it."
Ma Cuixia immediately thought of Feng Qingxue. She said in the letter that the Friendship Store had all kinds of goods and that the overseas Chinese remittance coupons could be used to buy anything. She asked them what they needed. They had wanted to buy a watch for their daughter, so they should be able to buy a wool blanket, right?
"Brother, sister-in-law, Hu Ping really has such a friend. He is in the capital now. He should be able to buy the wool blanket you mentioned."
Hope immediately shone in the eyes of Ma Lao Da and Ma Dasao. Ma Dasao pulled her aside and asked, "Aunt, is it true? Is it true? Money is not a problem, just buy us a wool blanket! Your brother has been honest all his life, and I don't want to be scolded by the secretary's wife every day because of this when I am old!"
