"This big pancake is as black as coal and has pockmarks all over its face. I can't even eat it."
Old Man Xia yelled, "Old lady, come on, go get the money." Old Lady He just kept saying she didn't want to go, and after Old Man Xia glared at her, she reluctantly went in to get the money.
The money that went into the old lady He's pocket was still to be taken out. Someone in the room whispered, "What a stingy person! He even wants to take back 200 yuan. Aren't you afraid of using it up?"
When Old Lady He opened the bed and looked under it, she looked everywhere but found nothing, and all her money was gone. She screamed as if a pig had been slaughtered.
At this time, Old Man Xia hurried in and asked, "Old woman, why are you screaming so loudly in the middle of the night? What happened? Didn't I just ask you to come in and get some money?"
"Old man, please take the kerosene lamp and help me check why all my money is gone. Was it dragged away by rats?"
"Where did you put your money, old woman? Is it all gone? Rats are just looking for food, why would they steal your money?"
"I put them under the bed. I put them all together. Now they are gone, even the jade pendant of that little bitch is gone."
"Old man Xia raised his voice and said, what...?" He almost couldn't catch his breath.
"Hey, you damn old man, why are you making such a loud noise? You scared me to death. My money and the jade pendant are all gone. Do you think they were taken away by someone or dragged away by rats?"
"You ask me, who should I ask? Who told you not to put the things away properly? Even if we know that someone else took it, who can we ask for evidence? Will the other person admit it if he took it?"
"Old lady He cursed, who is that bastard who dared to steal her money? When she catches him, she will chop off his hands and feet. He actually dared to steal her money, and he wasn't afraid that using her money would kill his offspring."
Old Man Xia and his partner searched the room from top to bottom but couldn't find it. Then they came out and said to Butcher Zhang, "Son-in-law Sun, all your grandmother's money is gone. Now we can't even give you two cents, let alone two hundred. You might as well just forget about it. You've got a wife anyway."
Butcher Zhang said angrily, "You didn't make this up just because you didn't want to give me the money, did you? Why didn't you throw the money away earlier or later, but at this moment? Don't treat me like a fool."
Old Man Xia said quickly, "What we said is absolutely true. We are not lying to you. Tomorrow we will go to the captain to ask for an advance of some money. If you don't believe me, just wait and see."
"Then you must give Xia Yunrou some dowry. If you give her nothing, it will be unreasonable. How can you marry off a daughter without giving her a dowry?"
Old Lady He said, "Except for her clothes, she has nothing to give as a dowry. Now all my assets are gone. If I still want a dowry, I'm kidding. You can marry her if you want. Old Lady He has given up everything and she doesn't care about anyone."
In the past, she loved her more because she saw that her granddaughter could bully that little bitch Xia Yunxuan. She really thought that the old woman loved her so much. Her face looked like Zhong Kui. She was afraid that she would not be able to get married. Now that she can finally get married, she doesn't care.
The matter ended unpleasantly. It was too late and everyone went to bed. Mrs. He didn't care whether her grandson-in-law was asleep or not. She went into the room and slammed the door.
It was Xia Dahai who found a place for Zhang the Butcher to stay for the night. Their place was too small and there was nothing they could do.
The sun was particularly bright in the morning. Xia Yunxuan was still having a sweet dream when she was woken up by the alarm clock. She dreamed that a particularly good older brother wanted to be her partner.
Xia Yunxuan was thinking, why would she have this dream? She was not in a hurry to find a partner now. Wouldn't it be nice to live alone? If she didn't find a partner, it would only affect her speed in making money and getting rich.
Today Xia Yun planned to go for a stroll in town, and dressed up specially to look more charming and beautiful.
These were clothes she took out from the space and modified herself. Of course, they are much better looking than the popular styles nowadays. Plus, she has a good figure, so they look even better on her.
Xia Yunxuan had just finished breakfast, took the key and locked the door. As soon as she arrived at the brigade headquarters, she heard the broadcast. The brigade commander asked everyone to hold a meeting in the sun field because he had something to say.
Today the captain himself will be broadcasting; usually the announcer is his daughter Xia Linlin.
It seemed that the captain was furious because of what happened yesterday. She didn't feel guilty. After all, these people were the first to attack, and she was just fighting back.
Xia Yunxuan arrived at the sunbathing ground and saw everyone talking. She found an empty seat and sat down, waiting for the captain to speak.
The captain cleared his throat and said seriously, "I believe everyone has heard about what happened yesterday. I want to emphasize here that this kind of situation must not happen again in the future. In addition, there is another matter that I called you all here today, which is about the arrangements for the educated youth."
The team leader looked around and continued, "Let the male educated youth go to the mountains to reclaim wasteland and plant crops. I hope everyone will actively cooperate and no one is allowed to be lazy or have any opinions."
"The female educated youth went to pull out weeds and turn over sweet potato vines."
"The educated youth were all a little surprised when they heard this. Some said that the team leader was working on land reclamation, which was so tiring, so why did he let us educated youth go?"
The captain said, "The people on the team will be with you. It's not just you guys, where do all the opinions come from?"
"Besides, you are here to do construction in the countryside. Do you think you are here to be a young master or a young lady? You don't have to work. If you don't have enough food, don't come to me. The village will not give you relief food."
The team leader continued, "The new educated youth will go to the accountant to collect their food later. You all know the situation. It will be deducted from your work points. This is a loan from the team to you. It is not given to you for free."
"New educated youth, you have to be prepared for today. You have to go to work tomorrow. You are not allowed to take leave every other day."
"No matter who it is, if they don't follow my instructions, if they are educated youth, they will go back to where they came from, and if they are others, their work points will be deducted."
At this time, the captain looked at Xia Yunxuan and said, "Yun girl, come with me."
After the captain and Xia Yunxuan walked away, the captain asked, "Little girl, tell me honestly whether what happened last night was your doing."
Xia Yunxuan said, "Uncle Captain, you think too highly of me. How can I be so capable?"
"If I had that much ability, I wouldn't have been bullied like that before. I guess my sister and Butcher Zhang fell in love with each other and couldn't help themselves."
