Chapter 291 The Best Aunt in the Period Literature 12
The dinner that day was a pot of soup made with sweet potatoes and vegetables sent by the village chief's daughter-in-law and others, served with fragrant rabbit meat.
There were no stools at home, so the three of them stood in a row, holding their bowls and eating happily.
Chen Ying slurped the soup in her bowl and sighed, "Mom, Aunt Cuihua and the others are so kind!"
Su Li nodded in agreement and said solemnly: "Yes, you must remember this kindness!"
Chen Ying nodded heavily, "Yes, I will definitely remember it!"
Chen Yang also said seriously: "Yes, I won't forget it."
After dinner, Su Li opened the box in front of Chen Ying and Chen Yang, and took out a bulging oil-paper bag from the pocket of a torn piece of clothing.
Chen Yang and Chen Ying looked at the oil paper bag curiously, wondering what was inside.
Su Li didn't let them be curious for long and directly opened the oil paper package.
The thing in the oil paper bag was wrapped in a blue handkerchief. When Su Li revealed the thing in the handkerchief, the brother and sister were stunned.
Chen Ying opened his mouth wide and looked at Su Li in disbelief.
Chen Yang was not much better. He asked in shock: "Mom, where did this come from?"
Chen Ying repeated the question like a repeater: "Mom, where did this come from?"
Su Li thought about where the money came from and couldn't help but sneer: "Huh, you didn't expect this, did you? I found this under the box!"
Chen Yang thought of the scene where the man ran in and took away the clothes. What else was there that he didn't understand?
"So, even if we don't have enough food to cook, he'll still be fine after seeing Mom go hungry for several meals..."
Even if Chen Ying was slow to react, she knew what was going on. No wonder her father was so nervous about those clothes.
Chen Ying gritted her teeth and said, "From now on, I will never recognize him as my father again."
Chen Yang was also very angry. His sister was one year younger than him, and she was carefree and forgetful, forgetting many things.
He remembers things early on. When he was a child, the man always had a serious face and rarely spoke to him and his siblings.
He always thought that everyone's father was like this, having to do too much work every day and being too tired, so he had a serious face all day and didn't like to talk to them.
But later he found out that it was not like that. He could also make children happy and speak patiently and kindly.
But these treatments never belonged to him and his sister. He used to be strict with them, and later he just scolded them.
At that time, he didn't understand. He just thought that if he did more work, his father would love him and his sister as much as he loved Chen Lai and the others. But he was wrong!
No matter how hard he tried, he would only say, "Chen Yang, look at Xiaolai and Xiaowang, then look at yourself. Why can't you learn from Xiaolai and the others?"
What to learn? To learn his deep scheming and lazy nature?
He will never forget what the man always said to him behind his mother's back.
He said: "Chen Yang, you have parents who love you, you are capable and strong, even if you don't go to school, you can still make a living when you grow up.
But Xiaolai, Xiaowang and the others are different from you. They are city people and don’t know how to work. They are smarter than you, so you should go to school well.
Besides, they are already very pitiful without their parents, you and Yingzi should be more considerate of them and not bully them!"
He was only 11 years old at that time, younger than Chen Lai and Chen Wang. Why should he give in to them?
Is he born to work? Does being born in the countryside mean he is inferior to others?
He was not convinced and wanted to prove that he was better than them, but he still dropped out of school in the end.
He really wasn't as good at studying as Chen Lai and the others, and he couldn't bear to see his mother and the others suffer so much.
It would be better if there was no such father!
Chen Yang took a deep breath and felt extremely relaxed at this moment.
Su Li saw all of this. It seemed that the child had really let it go this time.
She pinched Chen Ying's angry face and said, "Okay, don't be angry. We don't need to be angry with that kind of person! Let's count how much money we have here!"
Chen Ying said angrily, "One day, I will make him regret what he did to us."
Chen Yang clenched his fist and sneered, "Without us working to earn work points, I wonder how long they can maintain their filial piety."
"Come on, this money comes from our mouths, we have to count how much money we have here."
"Well, I've never seen so much money!"
“I love counting money!”
Counting money can make people happy!
After counting, there were actually more than two hundred yuan.
The original owner earned full work points in a day, which was equivalent to 30 cents. If he worked 365 days a year, he could only earn about 100 yuan.
These two hundred yuan are a huge sum of money.
Chen Ying shouted excitedly: "Haha, we are rich, we are rich, Mom, we are rich!"
Chen Yang was also very happy. He was worried about how they would live, but now he didn't have to worry anymore!
Counting money really makes people feel better!
Su Li rubbed her head and said, "Tomorrow we will go to the commune to buy some daily necessities!"
"Ah, if my dad...if he knew the money was missing, would he come looking for us?"
"Oh, where does he get the money? He has no food to eat, how can he have money?"
If he dared to come, he would have come long ago. He hasn't come yet, so I can only say that he is a coward.
Chen Ying's eyes lit up. "Yes, our family is so poor, where would he get the money? If he comes here, he must be trying to blackmail us."
Seeing his sister's rare cleverness, Chen Yang praised her, "Sister, you're right. If he dares to cause trouble again, I'll send him away."
"Hehe, just thinking about him finding out his money is lost and jumping up and down in anger makes me happy."
Chen Ying was overjoyed when he thought of that scene.
Su Li guessed correctly. After Chen Guang found out that his money was lost, he didn't dare to say anything. He was so angry that he cursed at home and couldn't sleep all night.
Unlike Chen Guang who tossed and turned all night and couldn't sleep, Chen Yang and his sister were in a good mood because they got an unexpected fortune. They had a dreamless night and it felt like the weather had become cooler!
The next morning, taking advantage of the cool weather, Su Li took Chen Ying and Chen Yang to the county town for a large-scale shopping trip.
They needed to buy a lot of things, and if she didn't go early she was worried it would be too hot if she came back too late.
It was Chen Ying's first time to go to the county town. He seemed very excited all morning and kept chattering on the way.
Chen Yang echoed from the side. The brother and sister imagined a bright future. It only took them one hour to travel an hour and a half.
