Chapter 4245: Stealing New Year's Money
These familiar faces from the old Yang family are naturally not the focus of Yang Ruoqing's attention. Everyone looks up and sees them every day.
At this moment, her eyes were scanning the crowd, actually looking for Yang Yongqing and the woman Yang Yongqing brought back, who was said to be a bit silly.
As a result, Yang Ruoqing was a little surprised when she looked around and saw nothing.
Is it possible that Lao Yangtou and Tan were dissatisfied and were forced to send them away under pressure?
But Yang Ruoqing didn't ask, because Liao Meiying had already brought hot tea to her on a tray.
"Qing'er, drink tea." Liao Meiying said with a smile.
Yang Ruoqing looked up and saw Yang Huazhong and Luo Fengtang. Now it was her turn. There were several bowls of tea on the tray, probably for Daan, Xiaohua, Xiaoan and the others.
Yang Ruoqing quickly stood up and took a bowl of tea from the tray, "Thank you, sister-in-law."
This year, the old couple Yangtou and Tan are celebrating the New Year with the eldest family.
This is the third time that Old Yangtou and Mr. Tan have celebrated the New Year with their eldest family in so many years since their family separation.
The first two times were the year Cao Bamei and Zhao Liuer came in. Later, Lao Yangtou and Tan stopped celebrating the New Year in the big house.
In Mrs. Tan’s words, Dafang’s eldest daughter-in-law, Mrs. Jin, is deaf-mute and stupid. She can’t cook her own food, let alone take charge of the overall situation during a special festival like the Chinese New Year.
The eldest son, Yang Yongxian, is also alone. On New Year's Eve, he has to go to Yang Yongjin or Yang Yongzhi's house to have dinner in turn. The eldest son lacks a wife to take charge of the overall situation.
This year is different. As the eldest grandson of the eldest family member, Yang Yongxian finally married Liao Meiying, the eldest daughter-in-law of the eldest family member. Therefore, Lao Yangtou and Tan announced in the twelfth month that they would celebrate the New Year at Lao Yang's house this year.
Several other tenants came over to pay them New Year greetings, including Yang Huamei's return to her parents' home in the first month of the year. They were all received by the eldest tenants, Yang Yongxian and Liao Meiying.
So Yang Ruoqing was not surprised when she saw her sister-in-law Liao Meiying personally bringing tea. She took the tea gracefully and thanked her. After sitting down, she continued to listen to the elders chatting about their daily life and something related to the Chinese New Year. auspicious words.
After a while, everyone else left one after another.
The first person to leave was Yang Huaming. The reason he gave was that his feet were cold and he wanted to go back to the house to soak his feet in hot water.
Mr. Liu said with a half-smile but not a smile: "Hey, Dad He'er, you're not really going to soak your feet here. Are you just thinking about gambling with a few people in the village?"
Yang Huaming glared at Mrs. Liu: "Young New Year, what are you talking about?"
"I'm not talking nonsense. During the day, you went to the mountains to worship your ancestors and burn incense. At the top of the mountain, you met a few of your villagers. They all agreed to go gambling at night. "How did you know? That's not the case!" Yang Huaming was still arguing.
But his eyes subconsciously glanced at Lao Yangtou and Tan, with a bit of guilt.
"How do I know? Of course I know, so don't make excuses. If you want to gamble, just go and gamble. Why do you need to find an excuse to soak your feet?" Ms. Liu continued to make trouble.
Yang Huaming gritted his teeth in anger, "Did Mr. Kang say that? No wonder he followed me sneakily when I went to pee. It turned out to be you who instigated it!"
Ms. Liu smiled, "How could I? Did you instigate him to eavesdrop on you during that free time? It was because your son was older and wiser, and he was frightened when he heard that you were going to gamble with others. He was afraid that you would lose all your money like in previous years, so he did not dare to go to the small school. Juan and dog After taking the money from Dan’s house, he went to our girls’ house to steal Sanyatou and Goudan’s New Year’s money!” Did you go gambling with your lucky money? In front of this whole room, you, a red-mouthed and white-toothed woman, are talking nonsense!"
He said loudly while glaring at Mrs. Liu with a full look in his eyes. threatened.
"If it weren't for the fact that tonight is New Year's Eve, with my bad temper, I would definitely slap you, a woman who talks nonsense!" Yang Huaming added after Weiwei proved that he was framed.
Mrs. Liu was humming, sitting there with her legs crossed and sneering. "What's wrong with your bad temper? Is it okay to steal your children's New Year's money? Do you want to lose face? Even if you beat me to death, the fact that you stole the two children's New Year's money to gamble is still there. If you don't believe it, just shout Third girl and Kang Xiaozi came in. They met with their own eyes last year..."
Old Yangtou He picked up the dry tobacco pole in his hand and gently tilted the corner of the table, saying: "My fourth daughter-in-law, it's the Chinese New Year. Please say some auspicious words, don't say those who are dead or alive, it's not good!"
" Oh, I was wrong, I listened to my father, I will shut up and good luck to everyone." Mrs. Liu held up her hands and wished everyone a happy New Year, and then sat there with a smile.
Yang Huaming was so angry that his cheeks were red, and he stood there awkwardly, neither leaving nor staying.
Finally, he gritted his teeth and decided to leave, but as soon as he lifted his foot, Lao Yangtou's voice came from behind him.
"Where to go?" the old man asked.
Yang Huaming turned his head and smiled at Old Yangtou: "I drank too much tea and couldn't hold back my urine. Go and deal with it."
Old Yangtou lowered his face and said: "Yes. Are you going to gamble with your friends?"
Yang Huaming said: "What kind of friends are those of mine? We grew up together in the mud ditch when we were young!"
"Those of you who are young are all second-rates and bastards. Among our Changping Village and the surrounding villages, they are the laziest and have the worst life. They are the ones who have the most debts!" Old Yangtou Said unceremoniously.
"I'll stay at home tonight, and I'm not allowed to go anywhere!" Old Yangtou said again.
Yang Huaming's face immediately fell down, and the last bit of joy and smile disappeared from his face.
Standing there, I felt like I was mourning my concubine.
Lao Yangtou said: "Gambling is inherently forbidden, and stealing children's New Year's money to gamble is even more forbidden."
"I didn't, Mr. Liu is just making a fool of himself!" Yang Huaming said angrily.
"I dare you to swear?" Ms. Liu spoke again.
Yang Huaming looked at Mrs. Liu with hatred, wishing to swallow Mrs. Liu.
Mr. Liu has now become a veteran and is not afraid at all.
"Do you dare?" she asked again.
Yang Huaming gritted his teeth.
Old Yangtou said: "Okay, okay, it's the New Year, my fourth daughter-in-law, please stop saying a few words."
"You can tell me later how much New Year's money he took from the children. Come on, your mother and I will make up for it later, and this matter will be over. Don’t hold on to this matter during the Chinese New Year.”
When he heard that he had money to make up for it, Ms. Liu immediately beamed. He said nothing and sat back happily.
When he heard that he wanted to make up the money, Tan, who had been silent, also spoke up.
"What are you trying to make up for? How much money does this man spend on playing cards during the New Year? Do you have to stop your daughter-in-law? We, the fourth daughter-in-law, are the ones supporting the family, and the fourth daughter-in-law and you mothers are eating, drinking, and having sex, how about that? Isn’t it supported by our fourth child?”
“The New Year’s money given to the children is also earned by our fourth child. , there is no need for the children to collect money and let the fourth child use it to break the law? The children themselves didn’t say that they shouldn’t do it, but you, a mother-in-law, control a man so tightly, you saved it What’s the point?”
