Chapter 15 Father is dead, there's no way to prove anything, and Mother has no other recourse.
Madam Qian was at her wits' end by her daughter-in-law's barbaric actions.
She snatched the little baby from Wang Xiuer's arms with a huff.
"Mother, please don't be angry!" Wang Xiuer quickly apologized.
Qian ignored the silly boy and, seeing that Xiao Su Bao was a little frightened, quickly took him in her arms and comforted him.
Xiao Su Bao secretly glanced at Wang Xiu'er, who seemed to sense her gaze and immediately turned her head to look at her, revealing a sunny and bright smile.
Like a startled deer, Xiao Su Bao quickly looked away.
My second sister-in-law looks so beautiful when she smiles...
The little girl thought to herself, and she noticed that both her eldest sister-in-law, Sun Cuihua, and her second sister-in-law, Wang Xiuer, were quite good-looking.
And since she was kind to him, the corners of her lips couldn't help but curl up.
Tang Cheng had gone to the village to discuss the irrigation canal with everyone, but his son interrupted him!
"Dad, please come home quickly! Grandma said something terrible has happened!"
After saying that, Tang Erbao ran back in a flash.
Tang Cheng heard this in a daze, but thinking of his mother's temperament, he quickly got up.
"Let's all think about what happened today. I still think we have our own irrigation canals. As for the money, I'll find a way to solve part of it. Everyone should also think of a solution!" Tang Cheng said.
The elders nodded, knowing in their hearts that this matter was probably unavoidable.
Tang Cheng may seem like a mild-mannered person, but once he's made up his mind, nothing can change it.
At that moment, the stubborn Tang Cheng rushed home!
"Mother, what happened? Why did you call me back so urgently?" Tang Cheng ran back, panting heavily, and scooped up a ladle of water and poured it down his throat.
Although it was springtime, the water was still a bit cold. He took one sip and then stopped drinking.
"Come in and see for yourself!" Madam Qian deliberately kept everyone in suspense.
Sun Cuihua also wanted to see her husband's excited expression, since, aside from their wedding day, the men she had seen were usually as steady as an old rock...
It's not that it's bad, it's just that Sun Cuihua prefers men to be more lively...
Little Su Bao also looked at Tang Cheng, blinked her little eyes twice, and then quickly looked away.
Tang Cheng walked in and saw that everyone in his family was all smiles, even the three little ones were smiling so hard their eyes were squinting. He immediately felt that something good must have happened!
Their family hasn't been this lively and happy in many years.
He was puzzled, and his gaze suddenly fell on the table in the main room.
His expression changed slightly, and he quickly walked over.
This is the box containing his father's secret stash of money...
He remembered that his father had searched for it before he passed away, but he couldn't find it!
Unexpectedly, the box was found by my mother and the others.
"Mother, how did you find Father's secret stash of money?" Tang Cheng asked subconsciously, but then felt it was inappropriate, since Father had only ever told him about his secret stash of money when he was alive.
Even my younger brothers don't know about these things!
Sure enough, Qian, who had been smiling, paused for a moment, then stepped forward and tore at her son's ear.
She ground her back teeth and said irritably, "You know your dad's hiding money! What about you? And you two, are you hiding money too?"
Tang Cheng immediately admitted his mistake, saying, "Mother, I was wrong. Father couldn't find the receipt at the time, so he asked me to help him look for the metal box. I didn't know Father was hiding money before!"
Tang Cheng dared not admit that he had known all along. If his mother found out, given her temperament, she would probably cause quite a commotion...
Therefore, we must never admit it, no matter what!
Father is dead, there's no way to verify anything, and Mother can't do anything about it either!
Seeing her son's serious expression, Madam Qian gave a soft hum and said nothing more.
Even though his mother was pulling his ear, Tang Cheng still quickly opened the box.
First, he saw more than twenty taels of silver, and his lips twitched immediately.
Dad is really amazing, he can actually hide so much money. He always thought that Dad could only hide a hundred or eighty coins at most.
Twenty taels of silver...
No, he remembered that his father seemed to have a particularly valuable jade pendant, which he said was left to him by his grandfather...
He searched the box and, sure enough, the jade pendant was gone. It was the token of their Tang family patriarch!
This old man is also...
Then he saw the IOU at the bottom, while the love letter had naturally been put away by Qian.
Little Su Bao looked at Qian Shi in her arms and couldn't help but secretly curl the corners of her lips, her eyes filled with a deep smile.
"This was found by your little sister. If she hadn't risked her own safety and dug through the mouse hole with her bare hands, this box probably wouldn't have gotten out at all!"
The box wasn't actually very big, but the twenty taels of silver were all in small pieces, so it was easy to put them in.
Tang Cheng immediately looked at Xiao Su Bao and reached out to take her from Qian Shi's arms.
Holding Tang Cheng like this, Xiao Su Bao's body was stiff and rigid.
Tang Cheng rubbed Xiao Su Bao's head. His eyes were the kind of big, thick eyebrows that looked very impressive. When he smiled, it felt like sunshine was shining down on him.
"Thank you so much, Su Bao! You've really helped me a lot!" Tang Cheng said very solemnly.
"Anyone can say nice things, boss. Although your sister isn't my biological daughter, since I picked her up, she's my daughter. If any of you bully her, don't blame me for being ruthless to you later!" Qian's life was saved by Xiao Su Bao.
No matter what, she will protect the little baby for life!
They shared a mother-daughter bond; Mrs. Qian adored the little dumpling, and the little dumpling loved her dearly in return.
"And you lot, listen up! My little sister is meant to be pampered. If anyone dares to bully her, don't blame me, her mother-in-law, for disciplining you!"
Mr. Qian issued another warning.
"Mother, don't worry, your daughter is my daughter, how could I bully her!" Wang Xiuer patted her chest and assured her!
The Qian family...
Can't the second son's wife stop thinking about her own daughter?
Sun Cuihua suddenly remembered something: "Mother, we don't have much food left. Now that we have some money, should we buy some grain and go to the county town to see my younger brother? He hasn't been back for almost two months. I wonder how he's doing!"
Madam Qian had the same idea, so she said, "Alright, it's too late today, let's go tomorrow!"
"Mother, I want to go too!" Wang Xiuer immediately shouted.
The Qian family didn't usually keep them in check.
Although Wang Xiuer is a bit simple-minded, she knows some martial arts and can be taken along.
Little Su Bao's little ears twitched, and her eyes held a hint of anticipation.
She used to always stay in the Lan family's courtyard, and she never went out except when her mother died.
Although she was born in the capital, she was a disgrace to the Lan family and was treated like a sinner within them.
