"Xizi is fine, and I am fine, too. It's just my family's money. All the money my family saved was taken away by that damn woman."
Chen Baoshuan cried and cried: "That's the money you made with me last year, Fugui. I wanted to work with you this year, but it's all gone. There's not a penny left."
"..."
Chen Ling was speechless and gradually understood.
Chen Baoshuan was so anxious that he cried.
It's not because my wife ran away.
There is no mother-in-law at home.
But because the money is gone.
His mother-in-law was gone, so he had nothing to be sad about.
After all, his mother-in-law had no feelings for him for a long time.
He was wounded twice by wild boar.
But those two times, his mother-in-law never took good care of him.
His father was all busy, while his adopted daughter Xizi followed and stayed by the bed.
For this wife.
He had long been chilled.
As for the fact that his wife is also infertile, compared to the relationship between husband and wife, the relationship has become cold.
Those are all trivial details not worth mentioning.
"I know, I know what you are thinking. As long as the rest of the family is fine, let's make more money after the money is gone."
Chen Ling was still in the mood to think nonsense.
In fact, not only him, but also the fellow villagers who came to join in the fun became happy when they heard what happened.
"People say that getting promoted and getting rich will kill your wife. The mother-in-law of the Baoshuan family is restless and not filial to the elderly..."
As he spoke, he lowered his voice: "I can't have a baby yet, so it's better to run away than to marry a fool in the future."
"Okay, okay, don't talk nonsense. The wealth is still here, so don't talk nonsense."
An older person stopped them from talking.
After all, some people said that Chen Ling's mother ran away with someone else.
Later, someone also persuaded Chen Juncai to marry another one.
But, it won’t be settled later.
"Is that possible? If not, just go to the public security bureau to report the crime."
Chen Ling said: "On this first day of the Lunar New Year, we won't let you go far away. We will search everywhere to find people."
This was the case when his mother was lost.
The difference is that my mother went missing at the New Year's Eve party.
Not only were there so many people at the rally, but it was also Chinese New Year, and the county police were unable to effectively search for people.
"Can you let the dog go out and look for my money? The money I finally saved."
Chen Baoshuan was so anxious that he stamped his feet.
"Okay, okay, I'll let the dog help you find it."
Chen Ling had no choice but to direct Hei Wa and Xiao Jin to search.
But...
Not even the two dog kings could do anything about this matter.
"There is no way, the Heiwa two can't find anything... Well, it can't be said that they haven't found anything. What their reaction means is that they found the smell, but it was broken.
Needless to say about this situation, this is the waterway. ”
Chen Ling shook his head.
When hunting in the mountains, I see this situation too many times.
Many young people understand this reaction of dogs.
All of a sudden, Chen Baoshuan was desperate.
"No, it's my money. I managed to save so much money."
Chen Baoshuan was crying louder than the cries of the little kids in the village.
It was hard to keep up with the east wind this year.
Many city people come to the village to play, and they make a lot of money by setting up stalls.
Chicken, duck, and fish at home, as well as the gadgets he made himself from bamboo.
Bird cages, kites, carved bamboo plaques, and various carved trinkets.
That income is very good.
Lao Zhou and Yu Qian were very willing to spend money.
Especially in bird cages and catching birds, Chen Baoshuan and his family made a lot of money.
Not to mention the satisfaction of watching your savings increase.
But now they are all gone, stolen away by the mother-in-law, and not a penny is left.
……
In a situation like this, Chen Ling couldn't help.
Fortunately, the villagers are trying to persuade me.
There is nothing that can be done about the rich dog, that is, even if the dog is reported to the police, it may not be recovered. It is estimated that he has already figured out how to run away.
There must be someone hooking up.
In this case, just throw the money away.
Marrying another mother-in-law later in the year and having a baby sooner would be better than anything else.
This person just needs a visible hope.
When Chen Baoshuan heard this, he suddenly didn't feel so sad anymore.
"You have a good relationship with Fugui. Someone must be a matchmaker for you. You have no shortage of wives."
Everyone is encouraging him.
But after Chen Baoshuan's brain turned around, his IQ regained the high ground, and he said: "How can you beg your mother-in-law under the banner of wealth? You can't do that."
He understands Chen Ling's temper.
Know what he dislikes.
"Hey, judging from what you said, I didn't let you use the banner of wealth. Wouldn't the matchmaker ask for it on his own?"
"Baoshuan is right to listen to what your uncle said. Let me tell you, there is a little widow in Liangjiaqiao on the south side of Nansha River. She is very juicy. Please find someone to tell you about her after the fifth day of the Lunar New Year."
That's how people in the village are.
For this kind of thing, it's very fast.
The ability to accept is also very strong.
Chen Baoshuan was embarrassed.
When Chen Ling saw that they had nothing to do, he said, "Baoshuan, just find a woman who can live a stable life. When money is tight, come to me."
It doesn’t cost much to get married these days, especially if it’s your second marriage.
Others said just now that they didn't feel anything at all, but now that Chen Ling said it, Chen Baoshuan immediately became amused and nodded quickly.
Only Xizi was beside him with red eyes and sobbing.
The little girl had always regarded Chen Baoshuan and his wife as her parents.
Even if the two of them were not nice to her.
The so-called aunt also always beats and scolds her.
But for a child, especially one as sensible as Xizi, if adults scold her, she will only feel that she is wrong. I won’t blame the resentful adults.
Just like now, Mrs. Chen Baoshuan ran away.
She suddenly felt as if she had lost her mother, and she couldn't stop crying.
She was used to her grandfather and Chen Baoshuan and his wife. She regarded this as her own home.
Now there is one less person in the family.
Isn't it hard to accept?
"Okay, Xizi, don't cry. I will take you in a car and take you to the hospital to visit your fourth uncle."
Chen Ling is going to the hospital to visit his fourth grandfather in the afternoon, mainly to bring some food and feed the old man some honey water.
"Uncle Fugui, there are a lot of bad people out there, and there are a lot of wolves. My aunt must not have a place to stay at night..."
The little girl is pitiful.
"Xizi, do you believe what I say?"
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Chen Ling picked her up and walked to the parking place.
"Letter."
"Just believe me. I will tell you that your aunt probably left with someone else. She took a boat far away and took away all your uncle's money.
That's why I don't want to come back.
Think about it, she took the money and left without leaving you a penny.
I haven't even considered whether you and your grandpa will go hungry.
Your grandpa is so old, he can’t work too hard, you still have to go to school...
So, she didn't care about you at all.
You, don't cry, it's not worth it.
Got it? ”
Chen Ling sighed softly in his heart when he saw the little girl in his arms was stunned and silent.
Such children are very sensitive psychologically.
In short, it would be nice if Xizi stopped crying.
If a child thinks about this kind of thing slowly, he will eventually figure it out.
What Chen Ling can do is rely on the children's trust in him to reveal the true face of the bad guy.
Otherwise, it would not be worth it for Xizi to feel sad and worried about such a person.
……
In short, on this New Year's Day of 1998, Chen Ling was very busy.
After going to the hospital and seeing the fourth grandfather, he told Liang Yuemin about the situation of Qin Qiumei's family and asked him to ask someone to ask what was going on.
Liang Yuemin is very powerful now, and he knows more than one person.
Especially on the official side, everyone gives him face.
It's not a big deal to ask anyone.
Chen Ling is very busy today.
But Liang Yuemin and the others all had fun.
After waking up in the morning, I started walking around the village.
When I meet someone wishing them New Year greetings, I give out red envelopes generously.
In the village, the amount of red envelopes is not large, so no one feels distressed when giving them out.
Zhao Yubao and Professor Zhong, two old men, could only get in and out of red envelopes all morning, giving out a full five or six hundred yuan.
The two of them are highly respected in the village and are quite popular.
The children regarded them as their grandfathers. After seeing them from a distance, they ran over and knelt down to kowtow.
One by one, they are sliding down to their knees.
The old ladies from both families also kowtowed to several children.
It made the two old men laugh and kept giving red envelopes to the little ones.
This little money is nothing to them.
The picture shows the atmosphere of the New Year.
In the whole village, everyone is lively and lively, which is the only way to be happy and happy.
After all, no matter how much bullshit there is in the village, it can't be brought out during the Chinese New Year with a gloomy look on its face.
afternoon.
Chen Ling was out doing errands here and there.
They would set up banquets at home, drink wine and eat meat, or set up tables to play mahjong.
On the slopes, in the village, among the lively crowds, there is either the sound of punching and drinking, the clatter of mahjong, and the sound of little kids being brainwashed.
This is the best time to celebrate the New Year.
Not only the people are happy, but also the dogs in the village are happy. There is no shortage of broth and bones every day.
Everyone can eat until their stomachs are round.
Many gluttons ate their stomachs until they were as big as rubber balls. They swayed when they walked and it was a little difficult to walk.
The first day of junior high school was completed in a lively manner.
On the morning of the second day of the Lunar New Year, families in the village began to visit relatives.
Some girls go back to their parents' homes, while others visit their elders.
Just like a more sophisticated family, there are more elderly people in the family.
The big New Year dinner usually happens on the second day of the Lunar New Year.
Some are more lively than weddings and weddings.
When the sun just rises, the whole village starts to roar with joy. Some are getting ready to go out to visit relatives, and some are getting ready to welcome guests.
The same is true for Chen Ling's family.
This year, the father-in-law and mother-in-law did not stay here to celebrate the New Year, but returned to Fenglei Town.
So needless to say, I am going there to visit relatives in my second year of junior high school.
I took Ruirui, two babies, and three children to my grandparents' house for a walk.
Also make my eldest uncle and second uncle happy.
Otherwise, now that Wang Cunye is old, the two of them are in charge.
I usually come to Chen Ling for the holidays.
They have never entertained Chen Ling's family during the Chinese New Year and holidays.
I have long wanted them to go over and have some fun.
"Let's go there early. There are a lot of things going on in the village this year, so we'd better go there early to avoid people looking for me everywhere."
Chen Ling finished breakfast three times, five by two, and then began to urge Wang Susu.
Wang Susu is not a meek person.
But when you have children, especially when you have to take three small children out, it is inevitable that it will be disadvantageous.
"Your second and third children are peeing together. If you don't clean them up, no matter how hard you urge them, I won't be able to get rid of them."
Wang Susu held a little baby in one hand and walked slowly downstairs.
"Okay, okay, my fault."
Chen Ling pulled the yawning Rui Rui and quickly stepped forward to take it.
Kang Kanglele no longer cries or makes trouble, but his diapers are never changed by anyone else, except Wang Susu. (End of chapter)
