In the evening, when Qi Aiguo came back and saw wine and meat, he was so happy. Aunt Lin also said that it was Jiang Yanqing who brought it. Qi Aiguo also told Jiang Yanqing not to spend money indiscriminately, and Jiang Yanqing also agreed obediently.
Qi Jiale is not so thoughtful. I am so happy to have eaten so well these two days!
At the dinner table, Aunt Lin picked up a piece of meat for Jiang Yanqing and said, "Qing girl, have you finished moving your cousin's things?"
Jiang Yanqing nodded, "He called two people and they finished moving everything. I went to the city this morning and bought everything I needed."
Seeing that Jiang Yanqing knew what was going on and seemed able to live on her own, Aunt Lin felt relieved.
After dinner, Jiang Yanqing helped to clean up the dishes and went home. She closed the doors and windows directly, entered the space, picked out two older quilts, and put them aside.
In his previous life, after Jiang Yanqing moved to the city, his grandfather stayed in the countryside because he couldn't bear to leave. Every year, he would leave a lot of agricultural products for Jiang Yanqing, waiting for Jiang Yanqing to take them away when she returned to see him.
This also included the good cotton that she personally selected and the quilts she made. Later, Jiang Yanqing kept the habit of using quilts.
Although we have down quilts and silk quilts at home, in winter, the cotton quilt is the one that allows you to sleep the best and keep warmest.
In addition to the two quilts, he found another set of gray sheets and quilt covers, spread one on the kang, and put the quilt cover on the other to cover it.
Jiang Yanqing took off her tattered cotton-padded clothes, washed her face thoroughly, put on a facial mask and watched TV for a while, then cooked some midnight snacks for herself, lay back on the heated kang, and prepared to go to sleep.
On the other side, at the Jiang family, before going to bed, Liu Cuihua felt much better. As usual, she opened the kang cabinet, took out her biscuit box and piggy bank, and checked her savings.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she opened the red cloth bag, a stack of straw paper fell out and Liu Cuihua almost fainted.
Jiang Dewang, who was sitting next to him smoking a pipe, saw that something was wrong with his wife and asked impatiently, "What's wrong with you? What's wrong with you again?"
Liu Cuihua didn't care about Jiang Dewang's tone. She grabbed Jiang Dewang's arm and said in a tearful voice, "The money is gone. All the money is gone."
"Old man, I can't live anymore, wuah wuah..." His crying sounded like an air raid alarm.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Dewang shook off Liu Cuihua's hand, snatched the biscuit box, and turned it over. There was nothing inside except straw paper.
Jiang Dewang, the head of the family, knew that his wife had kept all the money and banknotes in the family here, but now, nothing was found.
Liu Cuihua was still immersed in the huge blow and hadn't recovered yet. Jiang Dewang was not so kind. He slapped Liu Cuihua in the face and said, "Why are you crying? Think about whether you put it somewhere else."
After being beaten, Liu Cuihua regained some consciousness and sobbed, "No, no, it has always been here."
As he spoke, he seemed to remember something and yelled, "Second son's wife~" The loud yell scared Jiang Dewang so much that he fell forward and almost fell off the kang.
Jiang Dewang bulged his eyes and looked at Liu Cuihua angrily. Just as he was about to take action, Zhou Xiaoqin heard the shouting and hurried in.
Liu Cuihua glared at Zhou Xiaoqin fiercely and said, "Second brother's wife, did you steal my money?"
Zhou Xiaoqin was stunned at first, and quickly defended herself, "Mom, what are you talking about? How could I steal money from home?"
Liu Cuihua's expression did not relax at all. She felt unwell last night and finally drank some water. But it was the second son's wife who went out last, and she even closed the door.
Zhou Xiaoqin was not someone to be bullied. She straightened her back and said without any guilt, "Mom, I did come to the main room last night, but I was with Shuiyin."
"I've been married into the Jiang family for so many years. Even if I haven't made any contributions, I've worked hard. It's not right to wrongly accuse someone like this."
Liu Cuihua was just suspicious. After all, this daughter-in-law herself knew very well that she had been very worry-free since she came into the family. If the eldest son's wife could do this, then she would not.
But the money could only have disappeared yesterday, which means I was confused yesterday, so I didn’t take it out to look at it. In the past, I would take it out to look at it before going to bed.
Wang Dahong had just walked out of the room and heard the sound of money. Fearing that some of the money had been lost, she hurried in. When she learned that all the money was lost, the Jiang family was in an uproar.
Wang Dahong stared and said, "Mom, how could the money be lost? Did you hide it and don't want to use it for the family?"
When Liu Cuihua heard this, she wanted to slap this loose-lipped person to death. Just as she was about to start scolding him, Boss Jiang slapped his wife in the face and yelled, "Shut up if you can't speak. Is your mother that kind of person?"
Wang Dahong moved his lips and wanted to say yes, but was afraid of getting beaten, so he thought, forget it, just shut up!
