When Su Liuer rushed in, Mrs. Wang was sitting on the ground.
"Mother-in-law, are you okay? Does it hurt anywhere?" Su Liuer asked anxiously.
But Mrs. Wang was dazed, as if she had lost her soul, with tears flowing in her eyes.
Su Liuer noticed that her hands hanging on her legs were holding an empty box.
"Mother-in-law? Did she lose something?" Su Liuer guessed carefully.
Unexpectedly, her question would cause Mrs. Wang to burst into tears, just like a child, without caring about anything.
Su Liuer was a little at a loss. She reached out and patted her on the back, wanting to comfort her, but she didn't know the reason and didn't know where to start.
Mrs. Wang didn't cry for long. After she calmed down, she asked Su Liuer to help her stand up and sit on the edge of the bed.
"Liu'er." She called softly, with a guilty look on her face, as if she had aged a lot in an instant.
Su Liuer smiled and replied, "I'm here."
"I'm sorry, I...the ten taels of silver you gave me were also stolen by Fangfang!" Mrs. Wang was heartbroken and raised her hand to slap her thigh hard. She was angry, ashamed, and extremely humiliated!
The daughter she had raised for nineteen years turned out to be such a shameless person!
In comparison, Su Liu'er was much calmer. She was of course heartbroken, but seeing Wang Po like this, she didn't feel the slightest bit of blame in her heart.
It was only ten taels of silver, which was unexpected money. If it was gone, it was gone. Money could be earned again. As long as the person was okay, it was good. She was really scared because she thought Wang Po had fallen and been injured.
She had been with Wang Po for more than ten days, a very short time, but Wang Po was very good to her and Zhu Hongan. She was kind to her and her son from the bottom of her heart, and she could feel it.
"Did she take them all?" Su Liuer asked.
Mrs. Wang raised her hand to wipe away the tears that had reappeared in the corners of her eyes. She was unwilling to believe it, but it was the truth. She nodded and said:
"She took it all, the silver, the jewelry, even my land deeds. She didn't leave me anything. I don't even know when she came to steal them! When you gave me the silver a few days ago, everything was still there..."
The more Wang Pozi spoke, the more sad and guilty she felt. She looked at Su Liu'er with tears in her eyes and said, "That was the only money Daxi left you. You suffered so much over the years and you were reluctant to give it away. Now you've lost it because of me!"
Su Liuer put the empty box aside and held Wang Po's hand. Her hands were well maintained, and one could imagine how beautiful these hands must have been when she was young.
"Mother-in-law, if the money is gone, it's gone. Aren't we making money every day now? Our business is so good, it won't take long for us to earn back the ten taels of silver. We can still live our lives as usual. This is not a big deal."
"But……"
"Don't worry, life won't stop for us just because we encounter difficulties. We still have to live our lives as usual. It's getting late, so we should rest first. We still have to do business and make money tomorrow!"
Mrs. Wang was not someone who had never seen the world, nor had she never experienced any storms. It was just that she was old and had been hit by her own daughter, so she couldn't accept it for a while and lost her composure like that.
After hearing what Su Liuer said, she also understood that she should cheer up as soon as possible, so she turned off the lights and went to bed.
But that night, she tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. Her heart became increasingly cold and she was extremely disappointed with her daughter Wang Fangfang.
More than a year ago, she fell seriously ill. Lying on her sickbed, all she could think about was her daughter. She was afraid that her daughter would not be able to live well after her death, so she told her where she had hidden her money and gave her the key.
But she never expected that Wang Fangfang had secretly made a key and used it recently to steal all her money. She now has less than 500 coins in her possession. Fortunately, she put the copper coins somewhere else.
"Alas..." A heavy sigh was lost in the silence.
