Xie Zhengchuan stood at the door of the room and looked at his mother sitting on the ground and cried loudly, "Oh my God! That bastard stole my things. I hid them well, how could they disappear? Ah~"
Xie's mother's crying attracted everyone in the house, and Su Li also went over carrying Baoya.
When they arrived, the whole family, including the children, sat in the main room.
After Su Li arrived, she looked at Xie Zhengchuan and then lowered her head silently.
"I hid it so well, how come it disappeared? That black-hearted beast with pus on his feet stole my things. This is the money for Tiedan and Baoya's future marriage! How can I apologize to my benefactor..."
Xie Zhengchuan pinched his brows and said, "Mom, don't cry for now. I should know where it is."
"What? You know where it is, but you still asked me to find it? You scared me to death." He got up from the ground, ran to Xie Zhengchuan and hit him twice.
"Third brother, what are you doing? You scared your mother so early in the morning. Really." Old Man Xie glanced at him while smoking his pipe. Brat, you really scared them. They have received almost two hundred yuan, and they have a lot of money. If they lose it, they will be forced to die!
Xie Zhenghe and Xie Zhengyang also looked at Xie Zhengchuan with disapproval.
However, everyone ignored Xie Lai Fu in the corner at this time. He didn't know what was going on before, but now he was completely awake. He was shivering all over and just hoped that his uncle wouldn't notice him. While everyone's eyes were on Xie Zhengchuan, Xie Lai Fu slowly walked towards the door.
Xie Zhengchuan caught a glimpse of his nephew's evasive gaze and the way he moved towards the door tremblingly, and suddenly asked, "Laifu?"
“Ah~”
"King, your third uncle said something weird to you, look how scared you are." said Old Man Xie.
Xie Zhenghe felt that something was wrong with his son.
"Laifu, why are you shaking?"
Xie Lai Fu was so frightened that his voice began to tremble when he saw his father's sudden greeting. He used to be under the protection of Pan Zhaodi, and he was not afraid of anyone, even his two younger sisters gave in to him. But now he knew it was different. He had no mother, and the mother he had always relied on didn't even look at him.
"Dad~Dad~wuwu...it's not me, wuwu~" Xie Lai Fu cried and wiped his tears with his sleeves. The look in his uncle's eyes just now was too scary.
Since her eldest daughter-in-law passed away, Xie's mother has been particularly fond of this grandson. Although she doesn't know how to respond, she will rush over to hug him and comfort him the first time he cries.
"What's wrong, my dear grandson? Don't cry, don't cry. It will break my heart if you cry."
Xie Zhengchuan ignored his mother's confusion at the moment, and went over to pull Xie Laifu out of his mother's arms, "Laifu, tell your uncle, do you know something? A real man should not lie and keep telling your uncle."
Xie Laifu glanced at his grandmother, then at his father, and met the eyes of his third uncle. He said with a trembling mouth: "Third uncle, I... I know, it was my mother... Pan Zhaodi. She told me to get a notebook from my grandmother and she would buy me candy. I didn't know what it was. I thought it was a notebook for writing. Woohoo... Third uncle, I didn't mean to do that. I don't know. I don't want to be a bad kid now."
When Xie Zhenghe heard his son's words, he was so angry that he started shaking. He never thought that Pan Zhaodi would actually instruct his son to steal Tiedan and Baoya's subsidies.
These two children are children of martyrs. How dare she do this? How dare she?
Mother Xie was confused at this moment. She had been thinking that although Pan Zhaodi was not a bad person, and even had a bad heart, she was the biological mother of the child after all. Her eldest son was still so young and would definitely get married in the future. Rather than finding a stepmother for the child to be bullied by others, it would be better for him to have his own biological mother.
Even though her in-laws were not good, as long as she and the old man were patient, it would be fine. For the sake of the children, it would be okay for them to suffer a little. They had lived for half their lives.
But now she felt that she was really stupid. She could forgive anything, but this matter was not forgiven no matter what. Tiedan and Baoya's father saved his son's life.
No matter what, you can't take the money someone left for your children! This is not only heartless, but also unkind.
Xie Zhenghe knew that his third brother was not the kind of person who would make random comments. "Third brother, did you have all these suspicions before?"
Su Li said, "Brother, this is what happened. I went to the county town to collect subsidies some time ago, and I saw Pan Zhaodi at the military dependents service window. I didn't know why she was there, so I asked the lady at the window, and she said Pan Zhaodi went to collect subsidies as a martyr's relative."
Xie Zhengchuan said, "Brother, no one can save her from this. She will be sentenced if she shows up to claim the martyr's allowance as a military dependent. I will be taking up my post at the police station in two days. Since she is Lai Fu and Xiang Zhi, for Xiang Lan's sake, as long as she is willing to turn herself in, I can give her a lighter sentence. Otherwise, brother, I will not show mercy."
"Third brother, I understand. I'll go find her. I hope she's not too confused and hopeless yet."
After saying that, he walked out.
Xie Zhengyang and Xia Xiuzhi didn't say anything, but that didn't stop them from complaining in their hearts.
Mother Xie hugged Xie Laifu, who was still in tears, and sighed, "What a sin! What a sin~"
Xiangzhi and Xianglan probably also heard that their mother had done something wrong. Xianglan was still young and was still a little worried about her mother, but Xiangzhi had a face full of resentment. This woman didn't give her any maternal love when she was around, and she couldn't live in peace even without her. The Xie family finally had a few days of peace, but something happened again because of her.
Bao Ya hugged Su Li, not knowing the full meaning, but she vaguely knew that it was related to her and her brother.
Su Li whispered in her ear: "Mom~"
Su Li patted her on the back and said, "Dad, Mom, Baoya is a little tired. I'll take the child back first."
"Hey! Go back!" Xie's father and mother felt unhappy.
Xie Zhengchuan went home without saying anything further.
Xie Zhengyang and Xia Xiuzhi returned to their room.
"Brother Yang, tell me what this sister-in-law did! How can she be so bold? It's really scary. If she's not careful, she will go to jail for reform." As he said this, he touched his slightly protruding belly.
Xie Zhengyang also touched it, "What sister-in-law? She is not our sister-in-law. Thinking of all the things that the Pan family has divided up from our family, she is so angry that her teeth itch. This is the retribution for her ignorance."
"Oh~ yes! A married woman should obey her husband. Even if she misses her parents' home, she should know her limits. After all, every family has a hard time now. It's not that her parents won't help, but she needs to have the ability to do it herself. I've never seen a family like theirs. Humph~ My parents are afraid that I won't have a good life. Every time I bring money or things home, they ask me to take them back. Oh! I know they love me."
As Xia Xiuzhi spoke, she became melancholy. Her parents really loved her and didn't dare to ask for things from her husband's family, for fear that her husband's family wasn't living well. Well, her mother-in-law and father-in-law were both easy to get along with. Every time she went back to her parents' home, her mother-in-law would take some things on her own initiative. When her family was poor, they had nothing.
They would let her get some dried vegetables, steamed bread, or two eggs. She was very grateful to her parents-in-law. When she still had her own man, he had never beaten or scolded her, or even spoken to her loudly. Even when she gave birth to two girls, her in-laws never said anything.
Xie Zhengyang was complaining about Pan Zhaodi in his heart, with a look of anger on his face. When he came to his senses and saw his wife looking at him tenderly, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
"What...what's wrong, wife? Why are you looking at me like that?"
He raised his hand and scratched the back of his head.
Xia Xiuzhi looked at her man's silly look and laughed, "Look at you~"
"Ah~ Not... Not bad! Hehe~"
The dark-skinned country man suddenly blushed.
Here, Xie Zhenghe was on his way to the Pan family. His third brother originally asked him to ride a bicycle, but he was afraid that the Pan family would snatch it away, so he went on his own and left after talking. It was up to her to make the choice.
