"Third brother, what you said is absolutely right."
Zhao Dayong thought about it a lot, and after thinking about it, he felt that it must be someone he knew who did it. Otherwise, how would I know so much about their family.
However, how did they know that he had money? Was it accidental, or did they know it all along?
It was impossible to know this earlier. They have been saving money for not just a day or two, but for more than ten years.
Fuck, I can’t figure it out.
Anyway, he lost a lot of money.
Zhao Dashu followed Zhao Dayong back to the old house. Day by day, other people's homes were full of joy, but the old house, as soon as they entered the courtyard, was dead and depressing.
Zhao Dashu was very depressed. No matter whether life was good or bad, as adults, they shouldn't be like this.
The house hasn’t even been cleaned yet. What are the eldest and second sisters-in-law doing?
"Mom, how are you?"
Old Sun finally saw a rich man and held his hand tightly, "Old Third, you have to save me. I have no money left for my retirement."
Oh, he even secretly hid the retirement money. He doesn’t really trust his elder brother!
"Don't think about anything. Take good care of yourself first. Once you are well, everything will come back to you. Big brother is so filial. You and dad don't need any money for retirement. Right, big brother?"
Zhao Da: ...
"Third brother, I won't feel at ease without money. Can you give me some?"
Zhao Dashu was stunned. In this day and age, is it so direct to ask for money or wealth?
Old man Zhao moved closer. He also felt that the old woman was too shameless.
"Did you call the doctor?"
"There's not a penny left in the house, how can we call for help?"
Zhao Dashu was really convinced. So, everyone was waiting for him, right? How many sins did he commit in his previous life that he could never pay for in this life.
My mother is sick and she has to see a doctor.
"Second brother, thank you for taking the trouble to make this trip. Let me ask the doctor to come and take a look." Upon closer inspection, I saw that I had indeed looked much more haggard. I guess I hadn't slept well since I found out the silver was stolen.
Zhao Dayong went to see the doctor. Zhao Dashu stayed in the house listening to Old Sun complaining about how hard her life was, how difficult it was, how heartbroken she was, and how much money she had lost.
When Zhao Dashu heard this, veins on his forehead bulged. If he had known this, he would have called the doctor.
How can my dad stand my mom's nagging, it's as boring as a monk chanting sutras.
Zhao Dashu felt like he was living in an age, and he finally waited for the doctor to come.
The doctor felt the old lady's pulse and said, "Nothing serious, just excessive liver fire. You are old now, you should be more open-minded and stop being so impatient."
"Do you want a prescription?"
"No, I don't need any medicine for anything. If you really need a prescription, how about I prescribe two prescriptions for reducing internal heat? They're just a little bitter."
Zhao Dashu thought it was okay to prescribe it to help his mother cool down. He also felt that she had too much internal heat.
Zhao Dashu settled the doctor's consultation and medicine fees on the spot. Zhao Dayong and Old Sun, who were planning to make a lot of money, were furious when they saw this.
"I'm fine, you can go back." Old Mrs. Sun turned her head and covered herself with the quilt. She didn't plan to pay any more attention to Zhao Dashu. She couldn't get any advantage from him and it was a waste of their feelings. She was not in the mood to smile at him now.
This is especially true for Zhao Dayong. He has not yet come to his senses.
"Then I'll go back first. Dad, the day after tomorrow is the 30th. No matter if there is anything at home, at least the house should be clean for the New Year, right?"
Old man Zhao was stunned. He took the silver just for the New Year, but once the silver was lost, he forgot about it. No, what are the eldest and second sons doing at home? Don’t they need to do a thorough cleaning or prepare door couplets?
After Zhao Dashu left, Zhao Daye and Zhao Dayong were scolded by their father. Then Zhao Daye closed the door and scolded Wang again. Wang just thought it was his fart, and let it go in one ear and out the other, not taking it seriously at all.
Li forced herself to cheer up and tidy up the house.
Zhao Dashu went home and told his family about the incident. Zhao Xiaoyu also felt that it must have been done by someone he knew, or someone very familiar with him. The person she suspected was also Xu Xiaohong.
But she has no space, so where can she hide the things? Silver is easy to hide, but food is not.
Could it be that in such a short time, she has already hooked up with a lover and partner outside?
Well, not only was my uncle cuckolded, but he also brought a thief into the house. If the old man knew about it, I wonder if he would give him a slap in the face.
She really wanted to find out the things Xu Xiaohong had stolen and take them away. After all, they were stolen goods and there was no burden in taking them.
Before they knew it, it was the 30th. On this day, Zhao Dashu finally softened his heart and sent some food to the old house. For so many people in the old house, it was not too much, but it was enough for them to have a warm new year.
On New Year's Eve, they and the Liu family lived their own lives. If there are no outsiders on the night of the 30th, no matter how close you are, you are not a family.
"Xiaoyu, do you think the braised pork is done like this?"
"Okay, you serve it out and I'll keep it first." Let's keep the space first so that the food will still be hot when we eat it later.
"Chicken soup is fine, Mom. I'll steam the fish now, stir-fry a spicy river gourd, and then steam a river gourd."
"Okay, the glutinous rice and lotus root with osmanthus is really delicious. Can I bring a plate to your Aunt Liu's house later?" The glutinous rice is sweet and sticky, and the lotus root is crispy. It is so delicious that I can't describe it.
"Let's bring the food over now. I guess they'll be eating soon."
Today, Zhao Xiaoyu is still the head chef.
Main dishes: mutton dumplings, red bean paste stuffed rice balls.
Dishes: Braised pork, steamed fish, glutinous rice with lotus root, fried river gourd with chili, steamed river gourd, fried river shrimp with shredded radish, stewed chicken soup, beef stewed with radish.
After everything was done, the whole family changed into new clothes and sat neatly at the dining table filled with delicious food. Looking at the table full of dishes, Zhao Dashu was filled with emotion. All their good days were given to them by their daughter.
"It's the new year. In the coming year, my parents hope that we all live well and live in peace."
Well, being safe and healthy is the most important thing.
After Zhao Dashu started eating, they followed suit.
The food was delicious. Song accompanied Zhao Dashu for a few drinks, while Zhao Xiaoyu and Lihua drank the pear juice she squeezed by hand.
"I didn't expect that river gourd cooked like this would be so delicious." Zhao Dashu especially likes spicy fried river gourd. It is fried in oil, spicy and delicious, and the pork inside has a unique flavor.
"If you like to eat it, we'll keep more next year." There really weren't many left that year, and they were all used to make sauce. They only kept a few dozen pounds, without peeling the shells.
"Cheng, Lihua, eat, eat as much as you can, eat as much as you can." In the past Chinese New Year, they would die of laughter if each person in their family could have a piece of meat, but this year, the whole table was filled with food for themselves.
"Yeah, Dad, these dumplings are so delicious!" The little guy held up the chicken leg and ate dumplings. His cheeks were puffed up like a little hamster, and his little face was full of contentment.
