421 It's time to go out and gain experience
When the children got home, Zhou Linglan was washing rice and preparing to cook dinner.
When Mumu saw this, he immediately shouted, "Motherfucker, put more rice in. I want to eat two bowls of rice tonight!"
Mumu would occasionally eat at Su Taotao's house, and Zhou Linglan was used to it. She smiled and asked, "Are two bowls enough?"
Mumu nodded: "That's enough, motherfucker. I'm just angry! Motherfucker, let me help you light the fire and tell you something."
Zhou Linglan noticed that Mumu looked unhappy and asked with concern, "What's wrong?"
Mumu quickly explained Xiaomeizi's situation, and finally said:
"Mother, can we rescue Xiao Meizi? She is such a good student. Meizi's grandmother hopes that she can finish high school. She has enough money to finish high school. We can't let her be ruined like this!"
Mumu never calculated how much money he had sent to Xiaomeizi. Anyway, it was only a few dollars a year for tuition, and the money she had was definitely enough for her to finish high school. At worst, he could send her living expenses on time in the future. Baihua was able to more than support himself through high school by working part-time, so he earned no less money than Baihua.
"Let me see the letter first." Zhou Linglan said.
Mumu handed the letter to her.
After reading the letter, Zhou Linglan shook her head and sighed, "Xiao Meizi went with them of her own free will, and she didn't ask for help in the letter. I'm afraid this matter will be difficult to handle."
Mumu said firmly: "Mother, you know Xiaomei's character better than me. If her so-called relatives hadn't forced her, she would definitely go to high school no matter how hard or tired she was. That has always been her grandmother's expectation.
She is a person who doesn't like to cause trouble for others. Those people helped her bury her grandmother with the intention of taking Xiao Meizi away, raising her for two years and marrying her off in exchange for a dowry. Godmother, we have to find a way to save Xiao Meizi."
Su Taotao got off work early today. When she entered the house, she heard Mumu's words and asked, "Grandma Xiaomei is gone? Who took her away?"
Mumu repeated it quickly again.
He shouted anxiously: "Sister Taozi, the money I sent to Xiaomeizi these years is enough for her to go to high school. They must have used some tricks to take Xiaomeizi away. We have to save her!"
Su Taotao and Zhou Linglan looked at each other.
Zhou Linglan said, "Mumu and Xiaomeizi are not related, but they care so much about her. As fellow villagers, if something really happens, we will naturally not stand idly by. Mumu, don't worry."
Su Taotao thought for a moment and asked Mumu, "You said you often send money to Xiaomeizi?"
Fu Yuanhang answered for him: "Mumu sent money to Xiaomeizi in the name of borrowing money. He wanted Xiaomeizi to finish high school smoothly and return the money to him after she gets a job.
In fact, Mumu had no intention of asking for the money back, but he was worried that Xiaomei would not accept it, so he made up an excuse.
Sister-in-law, can we rescue Xiao Meizi in the name of a creditor, so that her relatives will mistakenly think that Xiao Meizi owes Mu Mu so much money, and maybe they will let us take her away. "
Su Taotao looked at the boy in front of her who was almost a head taller than her and felt relieved:
"Yes, this is a good idea, but what will happen after we get the person out? Have you thought about it?"
Mumu said: "I want to take her in. My mother has always wanted a concubine. If Xiaomeizi can recognize her as her godmother, she will definitely agree!"
Su Taotao shook her head: "It's not okay. Your brother just got married not long ago, and you're going to be his uncle soon. There won't be enough room for another person in the house. Aren't you making things difficult for Aunt Zhong?
You also know that Xiaomeizi doesn't like to cause trouble for others, and she may not be willing to do so."
Mumu stamped his feet anxiously, and Su Taotao said:
"Xiao Meizi is already fifteen years old, right? Let's do this: you take Xiao Meizi out of her relatives' home in the name of the creditor.
I gave Xiao Meizi a letter of employment in the name of the sugar factory and recruited her to work as a temporary worker in the factory. This letter of employment is just to make it easier for you to rescue people. With the letter of employment, the village can issue a certificate to allow Xiao Meizi to transfer her household registration here.
Xiao Meizi's household registration can be temporarily registered with the factory's collective household registration, and she can still work part-time and continue to attend high school like Bai Hua.
But remember not to let anyone else know about this. If Xiaomei's so-called relatives knew that she had a job, they would definitely not let her go."
Mumu was overjoyed: "That's great, Sister Taozi, you are worthy of being the Director Su, you are so thoughtful, let's do it this way, there will be no problem!"
Mumu is Su Taotao's favorite child besides other children at home. He is enthusiastic, sincere, and frank... His innocent heart is always the same, and he never asks for anything in return when helping others. It is really rare to find such a child.
It’s a pity that the child has grown up and Su Taotao can’t even touch his head now.
She smiled and said, "As for how to mediate this matter and whether you can successfully bring the person here, you still need to think carefully and it depends on your wisdom.
You and Ah Hang will soon be in the second year of junior high school, and you will be half an adult. This is just an experience for junior high school. You have to write a detailed plan for me to review before I decide whether to let you go on this trip. "
Mumu patted his chest and said, "No problem, Ah Hang is good at writing plans. We will write it tonight and try to set off tomorrow to pick up Xiaomei before school starts!"
Su Taotao nodded: "Then it's up to you. By the way, can you provide evidence that you sent money to Xiaomeizi? Words are not enough. Don't let Xiaomeizi's relatives deny it later."
Mumu shook his head: "No, I always put the money directly into the envelope and sent it with the letter. There is no receipt."
Fu Yuanhang said: "I did keep a record of every time you took money from me, noting the time and purpose, but I don't know if this can be used as evidence."
This was a habit Fu Yuanhang developed after helping him and Bai Hua manage the accounts. Not only for the two of them, but also for the family's income and expenditure, and his and Chen Chen's small treasury, he had independent accounts. Using the method Su Taotao taught him, he recorded every income and expenditure clearly and clearly at a glance.
Fu Zhengtu and Su Taotao don't care about these trivial matters at home. Their family's daily expenses are all managed by Fu Yuanhang, who knows more about them than Zhou Linglan.
Zhou Linglan thought for a moment and said, "Given Xiaomei's personality, she should have kept accounts. Ah Hang should bring the account book with him. When the time comes, we can compare the accounts of both sides. I'm not afraid that they will deny the accounts.
I'm just afraid that the amount is not big, and if they help Xiao Meizi pay it back for the sake of her future dowry, then they won't be able to stand as creditors."
Mumu scratched her head and frowned, "What should I do? I don't dare to send too much, for fear that she won't accept it. Anyway, I only give her three or five yuan each time, so it probably won't be much."
"It's quite a lot," Fu Yuanhang glanced at Mumu and said, "You put money in the envelope almost every time you wrote back, and there's the ten yuan I gave her in the village before, plus the money you bought things for her and grandma, the total is at least eighty if not a hundred."
Mumu blinked: "So much? Why do I feel that it is not that much? What money for buying things? I have never bought anything for her! Didn't I tell her not to let her know?
Those things were not suitable for the family members, so she was asked to help deal with them. How can she be charged for helping to deal with them? It cannot be counted, it cannot be counted! "
Su Taotao and Zhou Linglan looked at each other again. This kid, who worked part-time to study, earned a little money, and lost half of it.
Ever since Mumu worked part-time to earn his own money, Aunt Zhong never gave him pocket money, nor did she ask him how he spent it.
Although it was "loaned" to Xiao Meizi, Aunt Zhong would not say anything even if she knew about it, but after all, she had never met Xiao Meizi, so she was afraid that she would have a bad impression of Xiao Meizi.
Fu Yuanhang said speechlessly: "When we go to collect the debt, of course the more we owe, the better it is for us. If there is less, people think that Xiao Meizi can be exchanged for more money in the future, so they grit their teeth and pay the money back. If they insist on detaining Xiao Meizi, what should we do?"
Su Taotao said: "Xiao Meizi and her grandmother are both very frugal people. I think she may not have spent much of the money, but you have to find a way to get Xiao Meizi to cooperate with you.
Create the illusion that Xiao Meizi has spent all her money and they want to adopt her. They have to pay off your debts first before they can take her away, otherwise you will come to your house every day to make trouble.
After weighing the pros and cons, these relatives who are unwilling to do anything will naturally know what to choose. "
Fu Yuanhang nodded: "Don't worry, sister-in-law, we know it. I will start writing a plan after dinner."
Su Taotao was not worried about Fu Yuanhang. She had brought him up. In the past two years, his temperament had become more and more stable, and he had become more and more thorough in his work. He was completely capable of standing on his own.
Mumu's personality is a bit impulsive, but he is used to listening to Fu Yuanhang's arrangements, so he won't cause any trouble.
It is indeed time for the two children to go out and experience some life.
"Mom..." The well-behaved little Chen Chen didn't say a word the whole time.
He had been listening to what everyone was saying, but he was very clever and knew everything. He pulled Su Taotao's pants:
"Mom, can I go with my uncle Mumu? I haven't been out for a long time!"
"Can't!"
"Can't!"
"Can't!"
"Can't!"
…
Four opposing voices sounded at the same time.
The little kid who thinks he is no longer a three or four-year-old child and still cannot go out without an adult: "…………"
Not happy!
