Old Mrs. Liu's son had already gone out to work, and Zhuangzhuang could go to preschool a little later, so the Liu family's breakfast had just been served and was not very rich.
Xia Mian borrowed Aunt Liu's space to make milk and egg rolls again. Li Xinmei loved to eat. When the aroma came out, she couldn't help but go to the kitchen, "This is a fresh way to eat it. So the one in Xuanxuan's hand was made by you?"
Xia Mian's hands kept moving as he said, "I just like to think about food. Xiao Feng ate here yesterday and hasn't eaten since. They didn't even leave any food for us when we woke up."
"I also knew that yesterday's incident had caused a rift between me and their family, and they must be eager to kick us out, so I didn't make a fuss. Thinking about what the doctor said, I wanted to make Xiaofeng something nutritious to supplement him. I didn't expect that when she saw what I had made, she would snatch it away and not let Xiaofeng eat it."
"I really didn't notice it before." Li Xinmei clicked her tongue twice. "It really is only when things happen that you can see a person's true character."
Old Mrs. Liu looked at the egg rolls Xia Mian made and said, "This is good. There is plenty of milk and eggs. Make some more so that the children can enjoy it."
Finally, they had a comfortable breakfast at Liu's house, and Xia Mian and Xiao Feng's stomachs were finally filled.
Before leaving, Mrs. Liu stuffed a small piece of bread into Xiao Feng's mouth and said, "If she gives you trouble again, come find me. Don't let the child go hungry again. Do you want me to knock on the door for you?"
Xia Mian said, "No need, she probably won't dare."
Huang Xiaojuan really didn't dare to do it. As soon as Xia Mian knocked, the security door opened immediately.
Holding Xiao Feng's hand as he entered the room, Xia Mian looked at Huang Xiaojuan, whose eyes were filled with hatred, and uttered a sigh, "I thought you would have learned your lesson."
Huang Xiaojuan was very angry at this man's two-faced attitude, but she really didn't dare to do anything else.
Seeing Xia Mian find the milk station's number from the phone book next to the phone and order an extra pound of milk; then he turned around and instructed her, "I think we're out of eggs. Remember to buy some eggs when you come back today. If there is any fish, it's better to buy some as well. I'll give half to your Xuanxuan when we finish cooking."
It was as if she was the mistress of the house.
Huang Xiaojuan was so angry that her lungs were about to explode, but Xia Mian's next words calmed her down.
"Where's my passbook?"
"What passbook?" Huang Xiaojuan replied reflexively.
Xia Mian laughed, "What what passbook? Of course it's my passbook, what? You don't want to give it to me?"
Of course Huang Xiaojuan didn't want to give it to her. If it weren't for all these messy things, she would have given it to her to appease her and could have coaxed her back later. But after yesterday and today, Huang Xiaojuan knew very well that if she returned the passbook, she would never get it back.
Xia Mian urged impatiently, "Give it to me quickly, I need to take Xiao Feng out to buy some things today and I need to withdraw some money."
Huang Xiaojuan's mind raced. "I left your passbook at school after I withdrew money yesterday. I'll get it back for you today."
Xia Mian frowned, "I need money, I'll go to school with you to get it."
Huang Xiaojuan rolled her eyes and said, "How much do you want? I withdrew some money yesterday and there's still some left. You can use it first. I'll get it back for you after get off work today."
"one thousand."
"What?" Huang Xiaojuan's voice unconsciously rose. "What do you need so much money for? One thousand is enough for a year's high school tuition!"
"I'm spending my own money, what's it to you?" Xia Mian said, "Then I'll go to school with you to get the passbook."
"I understand!" Huang Xiaojuan turned and went into the bedroom.
Xia Mian raised her eyebrows. She knew that the other party would not return the passbook to her easily, but judging from her appearance, it was obvious that she had already touched the money in it. If that was true, then it would be easy to deal with.
After a while, Huang Xiaojuan came out with a stack of gray big unity banknotes and handed them to Xia Mian. These banknotes were from her memory when she was very young, and Xia Mian still felt they were quite fresh. She counted them and found that there were only fifty of them.
"This is all we have at home for now. Take it for now." Huang Xiaojuan was obviously worried about Xia Mian making a fuss, and then said, "I'll give you the passbook tomorrow."
Xia Mian didn't say anything. She turned around and wrote something on a piece of paper and pushed it to Huang Xiaojuan, "Sign it!"
"What?" Huang Xiaojuan lowered her head and saw a receipt with unexpectedly beautiful handwriting:
[Today, I received 500 yuan in cash from Ms. Huang Xiaojuan from the Huagang Family Compound]
But the strange thing about this receipt is that it requires the signatures of both Xia Mian and Huang Xiaojuan.
Huang Xiaojuan frowned, "What do you mean?"
"It's meaningless." Xia Mian said, "I don't believe you. What if you only gave me five hundred and told others that you gave me one thousand? So to be safe, sign a receipt."
Huang Xiaojuan did have such an idea, but she didn't expect Xia Mian to think so quickly.
Xia Mian didn't want to argue with her, so she said, "If you don't want to sign, I can find a witness. Aunt Liu and Teacher Mi are here anyway."
Huang Xiaojuan had no choice but to sign. Xia Mian put away the receipt and warned, "Be careful, don't lose my passbook. My mother's name is on it, and I can't report it lost and get a replacement."
At this point, she glanced at Huang Xiaojuan, whose eyes were rolling around, and said, "If you dare to tell me that your passbook is lost, I will call the police immediately!"
Huang Xiaojuan could only temporarily give up the idea and said unhappily, "You are such a mean person! Who cares about your money?"
"Yes, only people worse than pigs and dogs would covet my money."
Huang Xiaojuan was furious.
Xia Mian took out a shoulder bag from the suitcase, packed all the important things, and went out with Xiao Feng.
The first thing he did when he went out was to go straight to the bank. The passbook had already fallen into Huang Xiaojuan's hands. Not to mention whether Xia Mian could get it back, even if he did, Zhang Qiming would probably not let it go. Xia Mian was afraid of trouble and didn't want to argue with the Zhang couple, so he naturally wanted to get rid of it once and for all.
Of course, Huang Xiaoxia was deceived by saying that the application could not be reissued. In fact, with Xia Ma's ID card, death certificate and the family's household registration book, it could of course be reissued.
Banks were not yet everywhere in this era, so Xia Mian asked someone about the nearest Postal Savings Bank, which happened to be near the department store, not far from here.
Xia Mian thought of the new clothes and shoes Huang Xiaojuan brought back yesterday, and felt that it was most likely that place.
She took Xiao Feng by the hand and walked along, asking questions all the way. After about two kilometers, they finally saw the Postal Savings Bank business hall...
How did those passers-by unanimously say that this was "nearby"?
The sun was quite strong at around nine o'clock in August. Xia Mian squatted down to check on Xiao Feng's condition. After making sure that he was fine, he stood at the door of the bank and gathered his emotions before taking him in and pushing the door open.
If there is any advantage to this bold red hair, it is that it is eye-catching and impressive enough.
There was no custom of calling numbers at this time, so we just had to queue. Fortunately, it was a weekday morning, so there weren't many people around. There was no one at the lost/lost window. Xia Mian handed in all her documents and said, "I want to report it. I lost my passbook, and I don't know if the money is lost or not."
The teller was a woman in her forties, at an age when she couldn't stand rebellious teenagers. She glanced at her and said perfunctorily, "Don't worry, you can't withdraw money with just your passbook without the password."
Xia Mian still frowned, "I hope so. I have 31,400 yuan in my bank account..."
The staff entered the account number and operated for a while, then asked Xia Mian to tell him the password. Then he paused and looked at the screen. "How much money do you have in your bank card?"
"Thirty-one thousand four hundred." Since it concerns his own property, the original body has a deep memory of it.
The staff member frowned at her and asked, "Do any other family members know the password to this passbook?"
"I don't know." Xia Mian said, "I'm the only one left in my family... This is the tuition and living expenses my mother left for me until I go to college..."
The staff had seen her mother's death certificate, and after hearing her story, they no longer despised her as a gangster. They immediately became anxious for her, "You only have 25,000 yuan left in your passbook. Think carefully, who else knows your password?"
The amount of more than 6,000 yuan is not small and is enough to be sentenced.
"Sister, can you see when it was taken away?"
The other party was already somewhat sympathetic to her. More than 6,000 yuan was no small sum. When he heard her address, his mood brightened and he couldn't help but soften his heart. His attitude also became enthusiastic. "Huh? You picked it up yesterday. It was here! It was done at Xiao Wu's place."
She immediately called the manager over. Because it might involve a criminal case, the manager took them to the office and soon brought Xiao Wu in as well.
Xiao Wu is a young woman who still remembers the incident. "It was a young woman with permed hair and fashionable clothes," the teller said. "I thought her family was quite wealthy. She said she wanted to go shopping at the department store and withdraw 10,000 yuan. But I didn't know that banks require advance appointments for withdrawals over 6,000 yuan. I was puzzled. If the passbook had been stolen, it would make sense."
The manager asked, "Little girl, do you know who this person is?"
Xia Mian bit her lip and angrily gave them a powerful point, "She is my brother-in-law's concubine!"
Wow!
