The two of them lived a sweet life and had no time to care about other people's affairs, so they had no idea what happened in the Zhou family today.
Before the Zhou family got home from work at noon, the two sons of Zhou Yunfeng's family hurried home. As soon as they got home, they shouted to Zhou Lianhua, "Auntie, I want to eat egg cake, I want to eat milk candy, and canned fruit and meat."
Zhou Lianhua originally thought that her mother would not think that she had stolen her money, so even if she had taken it, her mother would not suspect her first. She would definitely suspect her three sisters-in-law first.
The second sister-in-law is good at talking. Mother likes her the most among all the sisters-in-law. The third sister-in-law is not talkative, but she is a very smart person and no one in the family dares to offend her. Only the eldest sister-in-law has given birth to five daughters since she got married, and she makes mother angry all the time. If mother finds out that she has lost money, she can just find a way to blame it on her. Mother will definitely give her a good beating and let this matter go.
Thinking of this, Zhou Lianhua stole 15 yuan from Old Lady Zhou and the ticket in the money box and asked Ruan Pingcheng to go to the town. Not only did they have a meal at the state-owned restaurant in the town, Zhou Lianhua also bought a lot of things for him and brought them back. The 15 yuan was spent. If these two little brats told the truth now, her mother would definitely beat her to death.
Zhou Lianhua hurriedly scolded the two children, "What nonsense are you talking about? You want to eat it, and I want to eat it too. Where can I get it? I don't have any money. Go away, go away, and leave me alone."
The two little kids started throwing tantrums in the yard, crying and shouting for meat and candy. The louder they shouted, the louder they got. People who were walking to his door after work stopped to watch.
Seeing so many people gathered at the door, Zhou Lianhua couldn't stop the two naughty brats from talking, so she wanted to chase them away first. "I say, you all have nothing to do after eating. Why are you standing at my door? You really care more about other people's affairs than your own."
Zhou Lianhua's words had no effect on the number of people stopping at the door, and the number of people stopping was increasing.
The cries of the two little boys from Zhou Laoer's family were heard clearly by the Zhou family members who were about to return home. Sun Erni hurried home to see why her precious sons were crying, looking as if they were ready to fight.
"Sons, what's wrong? Who bullied you or hit you?" Sun Erni pulled her two sons up from the ground and asked about the situation anxiously.
"Mom, my aunt didn't give me any meat, and she ate all the candy and egg cakes herself," Sun Erni's son Goudan cried and pointed at Zhou Lianhua to complain.
Everyone in the Zhou family had already arrived home. When Mrs. Zhou saw her two eldest grandsons crying, she felt so distressed that she kept calling them her dearest grandsons and trying to comfort them.
"My dear grandson, what were you talking about just now, egg cake and meat? Tell grandma," Old Lady Zhou asked him while squatting in front of Gousheng.
"Grandma, Shitou said that his grandma went to town today, and my aunt went too. She bought a lot of delicious food, including egg cakes, canned food, White Rabbit candy, and meat. My aunt didn't let me eat it."
Gou Sheng cried as he spoke. Old Lady Zhou turned to look at Zhou Lianhua and pinched her arm viciously several times. "You money-loser, where did you get the money to buy all those good things? You didn't give the good things to my darling grandson. It's a waste of money to raise you."
Zhou Lianhua covered her arms to avoid the cruel blows from Old Lady Zhou, crying aggrievedly as she hid, "Mom, I don't have anything. I really don't have anything to eat. If I had, I would definitely give it to them."
Seeing her son crying so hard, Sun Erni hated Zhou Lianhua in her heart. She must vent her anger on her son and make Zhou Lianhua pay the price.
"Mom, my sister-in-law said no, but there must be other people in the village who took the ox cart to the town together. We don't need to look for others. Wouldn't it be clear if we asked Uncle Li?"
Sun Erni walked up to Old Lady Zhou and said, looking as if she didn't want to wrongly accuse Zhou Lianhua.
Li Daniu's mother and Sun Erniu spoke from the crowd of onlookers, especially Sun Erniu, who spoke more vigorously. This was not the time to say good things to Zhou Lianhua on the ox cart.
"Why are you still calling me Old Li? I'm on the ox cart. The bag of delicious food I bought has made everyone in the cart ravenous. What's the matter, Old Zhou family, don't you know about this?"
Li Daniu's mother followed up on Sun Erniu's question, asking, "If you don't know, where does she get the money? He's lazy and doesn't even have many work points. How could he possibly have money?"
Old Lady Zhou hit Zhou Lianhua with a stick. Zhou Lianhua dodged Old Lady Zhou all over the yard, but was grabbed by Sun Erni. "Sister-in-law, it's not that I don't want to help you. I just want mother to find out what happened so that others won't wrongly accuse you."
Old Lady Zhou beat her viciously, and Zhou Lianhua was hit many times on her arms and body.
"Tell me, where are the things you bought? Where did the money come from?" Old Mrs. Zhou asked Zhou Lianhua viciously while beating her.
Seeing Zhou Lianhua remained silent, Sun Erniu added fuel to the fire, "Didn't Lianhua give all the nice things we bought to her boyfriend? Didn't she bring some back to your family? That's not right. The same goes for Ruan Zhiqing. How can he enjoy living off women so much?"
The people around burst into laughter. It was a common knowledge among the villagers that Ruan Pingcheng was Zhou Lianhua's gigolo. Every time Old Lady Zhou found out, he would be beaten, but Zhou Lianhua's infatuation did not change at all.
Mrs. Zhou was furious and hit her several times. "Tell me, where did you get the money? Tell me."
Mrs. Zhou suddenly remembered something and immediately ran into her room. After opening the cabinet, she counted the money in the package. It turned out that 15 yuan was missing and there was not a single bill left.
