Chapter 333 I heard - The sick little girl eats melons in the courtyard
"Mom, what time did you come back today?"
"It only took me about half an hour to get back! I took the 3 o'clock bus."
"oh oh!"
"Here, these are the red envelopes your uncle and aunt gave to you two." Mother Lin took out two red envelopes and handed them over.
Lin Qing and Cen Xi were both more or less surprised, "Why are there still red envelopes? How old are we?" Lin Qing was unwilling to accept it.
"Okay, put it away quickly! It's a token of your uncle and aunt's love."
"Okay!" Since he said so, she didn't refuse and took both.
"Eh? What are you doing?" Seeing her two daughters putting the money in their pockets, Lin's mother hurriedly stopped them.
Lin Qing paused and blinked, "What's wrong with me? I didn't do anything!"
"This one is for my son-in-law. Why are you putting all of them in your pocket?"
"Isn't the one you gave to your son-in-law mine? If you don't believe me, ask him."
Cen Xi nodded, "Mom, Qingqing is right, what's mine is hers, just let her keep it."
Mother Lin had an annoyed expression on her face. "Okay, okay, I'm sorry for being too talkative. Dinner tonight is left to you two. Hurry up and make dinner for me!" She didn't want to face them for the time being.
"No problem, no problem, leave it to us!" Lin Qing was very happy after receiving two red envelopes.
Cen Xi also followed her into the kitchen. After entering the kitchen, their roles were switched. Cen Xi became the head chef, and Lin Qing was only responsible for adjusting the fire.
"Leave it to Chef Cen!" Lin Qing made a gesture of invitation.
"Just wait, let Chef Cen show you his skills today."
"Yeah, I'm waiting!"
The two of them were playing around, but it didn't delay the work in the kitchen at all. When Lin's father came back, dinner was ready.
While eating, Lin's mother suddenly talked about something.
This incident shocked both Lin Qing and Cen Xi.
"Shocked, don't tell me about you. I was also shocked when I heard it." Lin's mother said with a look of experience.
Lin Qing and Cen Xi nodded.
"Mom, are you sure you didn't hear it wrong? Could it be that the rumor is exaggerated?"
"Impossible, impossible. Your aunt and I heard it from her old sister. Her old sister happens to live nearby, where Lin Feng and Zhang Mei live. I heard that there was quite a big commotion there and everyone around knew about it." It's not the kind of thing that has changed hands several times, so it shouldn't be too far off the mark.
"Oh oh!" Lin Qing was still a little unaccustomed, "Is that really Zhang Mei? It's still a little unbelievable!"
"Don't talk about you. I've been the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law with her for almost twenty years, and I never expected her to do something like this." Mother Lin still hasn't recovered from this incident.
Her daughter-in-law, who used to send gifts back to her parents' home and with whom she had severed ties, is actually going to drain her parents' home one day?
"But when I think about it, I'm still scared." Mother Lin patted her chest again and said.
"Why?"
"Don't you think about it? If we still live together, and your father and I don't like her one day, or if she has no money, she will sneak in and take all our savings. Wouldn't we cry to death?"
Lin Qing nodded. Indeed, if her savings were stolen, she would be furious.
"So the Zhang family must be really angry!" Lin Qing actually wanted to laugh when he thought of this.
Well, it's not her fault. She used to dislike Zhang Mei's family. There was a time when Zhang Mei particularly liked to loot things from the house and give them to her family. If Lin's mother hadn't gotten angry and suppressed her, their lives would have been miserable since then.
——
The entire Zhang family came.
On the second day of the Chinese New Year, when the married daughter should return to her parents' home, the Zhang family did not wait for her at home, but instead rushed to her home together.
Boss Zhang also asked for leave from the factory. He happened to meet a co-worker on his way here and asked the co-worker to ask for leave on his behalf.
After Zhang Mei got what she wanted, she hurried back home.
"Where have you been? Why didn't you come home all night?" Lin Feng hadn't seen her since he got up. When he saw her come back, he started complaining.
Zhang Mei was also panicking, fearing that she might be misunderstood.
"Don't think too much, don't think too much. I went back to my parents' home last night."
"Go back to your parents' home? Did you get your money back?"
"I got it back. I got it all back. Here!" Zhang Mei handed over a handful of banknotes.
"I roughly counted them, but I didn't count them clearly. How about you count them?"
"Okay!" Lin Feng's mood finally improved a little, and his wife was a little more sober.
Lin Feng took the handful of banknotes and counted them carefully, counting them again and again, until he finally finished the calculation.
The money Zhang Mei got back was only over 200 yuan, which was half of what she had received before.
However, he was already quite satisfied that Zhang Mei had achieved this point, but he still didn't want Zhang Mei to be too proud, lest she become the same as before.
"It's still missing half..." Lin Feng frowned slightly.
Zhang Mei looked at it and her heart suddenly lifted. She quickly explained, "It's gone, it's really gone. I didn't hide it. I took it out of the biscuit box where my mother hid her money. It's all here."
Raymond Lam exclaimed inwardly: Oh my god!!!
Who would have thought that his wife would become so powerful one day?
"Okay, then I'll believe you reluctantly!" Lin Feng said.
"Wait a minute, you said you took it from the cookie box where your mother hid her money? Did your mother know you took it?"
Zhang Mei shook her head, looked up at Lin Feng, and said embarrassedly: "They don't know, I took this secretly in the middle of the night... while they were asleep!" Zhang Mei told everyone what she had done in one go.
The corner of Lin Feng's mouth twitched. He really overrated her!
Does this mean they don't have to go today?
"Okay, I get it. I'll keep the money. If your parents come to ask you for money, just tell them that the money is all with me."
"Yeah." Zhang Mei nodded repeatedly.
However, after a while, she panicked again. Yes, yes, yes, when they wake up, they will definitely come looking for her. What should she do?
“What if they don’t believe it?”
"Don't worry about them." Lin Feng decided to keep the money close to him. It would not be safe to keep the money at home today.
"Since they've come looking for me, just tell them that I have the money and ask them not to waste their efforts. We've given them so much money over the years, so it's not too much to ask them to give some back, right?"
Zhang Mei stammered, "I know..."
"Okay, that's it. I'm going to work first!" Lin Feng took all the money in the family, including the money Zhang Mei had just brought back, and went to work.
Zhang Mei was left alone at home, feeling panic-stricken.
