Chapter 16
There was not even three hundred dollars in the money box on the table!
"Mom, this isn't right? Why do we have so little money?" The first one to jump up was Wang Laosan Wang Qingzheng.
Although he doesn't care about money, his family is almost all strong and capable! Even if the fifth son's wife just got married, there are eleven people working, and the work points for a year are too much to be earned!
Zhao Guifen pinched her waist with a cold face and rolled her eyes at him: "What? You didn't spend any money to marry your wives? Do you think your wives are blown by the wind? You guys are more greedy than the other, it's good enough for this family to have this little money left."
Zhao Guifen was full of energy, but he still felt guilty.
Is she hiding too much?
But if we don’t hide it, how will the fifth and second sons buy jobs in the future?
Even if Lao Wu's wife said she wanted to go home and find a solution, we couldn't really let her find a solution! Lao Wu's wife's family would just help Lao Wu in the future.
Now, we have to give him the money at home!
Otherwise, when the day comes to divide the family, won’t it be given to the eldest brother?
What right does he have to divide the family money?
Wang Qingzheng frowned, feeling that the amount of money was wrong.
Compared to him, Wang Qingliang on the side was furious: "Mom, basically everyone in my family can get ten work points. For example, last fall, our work point book had more than 700 yuan in exchange. How come there is nothing now?"
Zhao Guifen was stunned.
He just didn't say a word.
Bai Xiuxiu sighed and said with a smile: "Don't blame mom."
Zhao Guifen was stunned again, unable to believe it.
Is this the eldest son's wife? She...
"Our mother is so rich, how much pressure does she have to bear?" Bai Xiu Xiu smiled.
As soon as she said this, Zhao Guifen wanted to strangle her to death.
Why doesn't she learn her lesson? Why does she believe that the eldest brother's wife can say good things?
"Mom, our family's food and drink for the whole year are all saved from the grain in the autumn. As for meat, most of the time we go hunting in the mountains and store it for the winter. There is not much to spend money on. You don't want to tell us that Lao Wu gave a dowry of three or four hundred yuan when he got married, right?"
Bai Xiu Xiu asked in surprise.
When she said that, the others also remembered, that's right! Normally, the family doesn't spend much money on food and drink!
Zhao Guifen's face darkened: "You don't know what if you are not the head of the family? Whose family doesn't live like this? Who can save a few hundred dollars a year? Isn't that better than the workers' families?"
"Mom, a worker's family can't save more than a hundred yuan a year, but two or three people can do it. We can't compare with them in our village, but we are not many people either. There are eleven people working here, and after a few years, there are only three hundred yuan left?"
Bai Xiuxiu glanced at Zhao Guifen. Her mother-in-law was really stupid!
Stupid and black-hearted!
Zhao Guifen's face turned red after hearing what she said.
"Mom, you're going too far. If you don't want to take it out, just say so. Why are you playing tricks on us like this?" The fourth brother, Wang Qingliang, was unhappy.
The third brother, Wang Qingzheng, also had a gloomy face.
We are all family, so why are Xiaowu and Erge the only ones considered human? They are not?
Bang!
Just when everyone was dissatisfied, Wang Shoucheng slapped Zhao Guifen directly: "You black-hearted fool! What are you still doing? How much money did you hide? Take it out quickly!"
This slap stunned the whole family.
In their family, beating the wife is not allowed!
Besides, how old is their mother?
Zhao Guifen had never thought that she would be beaten at her age. She was so angry that she kept crying: "You hit me? Who do you think I did it for? Take it out? Take it out if you want! You can forget about living like this!"
She cried and shouted and took out some more money.
Bai Xiu Xiu was very surprised at first, wondering why he started to take action.
You'll understand when you see the amount of money taken out.
This is simply a self-torture tactic.
This time Zhao Guifen learned his lesson and reluctantly took out eight hundred yuan.
"That's all! We've spent all this money on food and drink over the years, plus the money we took out before. The total is one thousand one hundred and seven." Zhao Guifen covered her face with her hands, looking as if she had no desire to live.
So much money!
Everyone in the Wang family felt their hearts pounding as they watched.
They no longer suspected that there was any hidden money. After all, it was a huge sum of money!
Besides, their mothers had been beaten, how could they possibly keep the money secret?
Bai Xiuxiu looked at their expressions and it seemed that there was no way to get Zhao Guifen to pay more. This amount of money was not even half of what Zhao Guifen had in her hands!
But whatever we can give out is good enough, as we still have a long way to go.
"As you can see, this is all the money our family has. Xiaowu needs at least 100 yuan to renovate the house. I will give 100 yuan to each of you brothers. The rest of the money will remain with me and your mother.
Since we are one family and we are not splitting up, this money should be kept in the hands of us two old people.
When the autumn harvest comes, I’ll give some to your family.
Now that you have grown up, you all want to have some money in your hands. As a father, I understand this.
But don’t make trouble next time.”
Wang Shoucheng saw that the matter was almost settled, so he covered it up in a friendly and amicable manner.
Normally, all the money of the Wang family is in the hands of the old couple. How could they have ever seen much money?
If I were to give them a hundred at once, I would naturally be a hundred times more happy!
Zhao Guifen gave each of her sons ten big reunion tickets.
When it was Wang Qinghe and Bai Xiu Xiu's turn, she couldn't help but feel pain!
On what basis? On what basis did they both take the money from this family?
Bai Xiuxiu didn't care what she was thinking. She easily took the money from Zhao Guifen's hand and smiled brightly at Zhao Guifen: "Thank you, Mom."
Zhao Guifen's heart ached so much that it felt like it was about to break.
This is all her money!
"I've given you the money. Stop standing there and get out of here! Get to work!" Zhao Guifen drove them away in a bad mood.
After everyone left, Zhao Guifen looked worried: "Old man, they are going to rebel."
Wang Shoucheng's old face also showed a trace of unhappiness: "Several sons are making trouble together. If we don't give a penny, this matter will not be resolved. Although we are here, they have no reason to divide the family. But if they all make trouble, this family will have to be divided even if they don't want to.
At least we have stabilized it first, and quickly secured jobs for Xiaowu and Laoer.
As long as the fifth and second sons are successful, we won't be afraid of splitting up the family. We can go back and separate the eldest son, and we can live our lives behind closed doors.
Wouldn’t it be enough for Xiao Wu and Lao Er to help Lao San and Lao Si? "
"That's true, but... I always feel that the eldest daughter-in-law is up to no good!" Zhao Guifen became furious when she thought of her eldest daughter-in-law.
Wang Shoucheng was also silent for a while: "Let them deal with their daughter-in-law's affairs on their own."
Westinghouse.
Bai Xiuxiu put the money in the box, feeling very happy: "Finally I got back a hundred. By the way, I have already got the medicinal herb seeds. I will show you the use of this thing later."
Wang Qinghe watched his wife busying herself, handed her a cup of brown sugar water, and said calmly, "Okay, I'll wait and see."
Seeing how calm he was, Bai Xiu Xiu really wanted to give him a shock!
As for hiding the golden finger from Wang Qinghe, she had never thought of such a thing. She had been following him for decades, and had spent decades to determine how trustworthy this man was.
Unfortunately, he couldn’t see the space, so he could only wait until the honeysuckle matured and then show him the finished product!
