"Mom, don't worry. I'm going to send it tomorrow."
That afternoon, Xianglan received a call from her mother's family saying that Xianglan's mother was sick, so she took a thousand dollars from the noodle shop. I plan to go to the bank to send a piece of cash to my family tomorrow morning. But in the evening, Xianglan's mother didn't receive the money, so she called Xianglan directly, "What, are you sending it today? The banks are closed at this time, okay, okay, I'll find a teller machine to send it to you later."< br>
After hanging up the phone, Xianglan picked up the backpack hanging in the corner and walked out. It took half an hour to find a 24-hour self-service bank. After entering Xianglan's mother's card number, she had to take out the money and put it in the grid, but she couldn't find the one thousand yuan after rummaging for a long time.
“Where did my thousand yuan go?”
“If I lose this thousand yuan, what will happen to my mother’s illness?”
< br>
"How could I be so stupid and lose my money?"
Xianglan returned to Kang's house in despair. When her mother saw her like this, she followed her into her room, "Why? "Xianglan, what happened?" Mom asked with concern.
"It's okay, it's okay, Mom." Xianglan said it was okay, but tears were all over her face. Mom thought for a while and guessed: "I know, did that bad boy A Guang make you angry again, right? Leave him alone. He has been so bad-tempered recently."
"Mom "It's none of A Guang's business. I was careless," Xianglan started crying and couldn't explain what happened for a long time. Just at this time, the boss Guang came back, "Mom, are you here?" he said hello.
“Look at you, you always have such a bad temper, I’m so kind to you.” Mom complained as soon as she saw the boss Guang. The boss looked confused and responded: “Mom, I What did you do wrong again?”
"What did you do wrong? Look at your wife, she's crying again. Do you think you did anything wrong? Come on, comfort her." After speaking, the mother walked out to give them time and space. Let the two of them have a good chat.
The boss just sent Mom to the door. After closing the door, he turned to Xianglan and said with a bit of resentment: "Wife, what are you doing? You know what I said. I hate people talking bad about me behind my back. "
Xianglan became even more depressed when she heard this. She cried, "How could I say anything bad about you behind your back? I was just telling mom." She hadn't finished speaking yet. Guang interrupted with an impatient expression: "Okay, okay, even if you didn't say anything bad about me behind my back, if you cry in front of my mother, my mother will definitely think it's my fault when you cry. "
"Husband, can you please listen to what I have to say?" Xianglan was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, "I mean I was careless"
"Careless for what? "Big Brother Guang interrupted again.
Xianglan lowered her head and did not dare to look at Big Brother Guang, and said cautiously: "I mean I accidentally lost a thousand yuan."
"Huh?" Big Brother Guang screamed, " You lost a thousand yuan? "Why?"
Xianglan didn't know where she lost the money. She saw the money in her bag when she went out. The boss just saw that she kept crying and didn't ask any more questions. However, he didn't comfort her much. After saying a few words, he took a shower and went to bed.
Xianglan was in a bad mood for several days in a row because of the incident of losing money. It got to the point where he didn’t even go to the noodle shop anymore. He just stayed in his room all day and felt sorry for himself. “This thousand yuan is more than Xiaohong’s monthly salary. How can you just throw it away? This thousand yuan can save you a lot of money.” I bought a lot of things." Xiao Hong is an employee of their noodle shop.
"Xianglan, Xianglan, TV is so funny, come out and watch it quickly." Mom opened the door and walked into Xianglan's room and said to her, thinking that letting her watch more TV would make her feel more at ease. "Mom, I'm so careless. Why did I lose a thousand yuan?"
"It's hard to say. Just like what I did before, I also tried to throw my wallet into the garbage bin as rubbish." Mom told her past scandals, thinking that Pandan would be happier, "Just once A thousand dollars, don’t be angry, forget it.”
But Xianglan didn’t seem to hear her mother’s words, she muttered: “A thousand dollars, it’s not a small thing to throw away.” That’s a thousand dollars.”
“Just throw it away, it’s a thousand dollars.”
Pianlan came and went with just these two words. The child was startled, and she shouted outside: "Uncle, uncle, come on, come on, hurry up." After Lao Dou walked into Xianglan's room, she whispered the incense in Lao Dou's ear. Lan's situation told him. Lao Dou thought for a while and said to Xianglan: "Sister-in-law, if you want to sleep, just go to bed. It's just the money that's gone. It's time to relax. One thousand yuan is not too much, not too much. Just think of it as a loss of money. Prevent disaster.”
"Dad, if I hadn't lost the thousand yuan, I could have bought a lot of toys for developing intelligence for Tianyou. If Tianyou plays with these toys, he will definitely learn better. If he studies well, he will be admitted to a famous university. If he is admitted to a famous university, he will be better. I can find a good job. You said it would be great if I didn't lose this thousand yuan? Why did you lose it?" Xianglan kept complaining about herself.
Lao Dou’s mother had nothing to do with her, so she quietly called other people to a meeting to discuss Xianglan’s loss of money. Only then did everyone learn about this, and A Yao sighed with emotion: "Sister-in-law, the loss is so serious this time?"
"Yes, your mother and I heard it with our own ears." Lao Dou also sighed. tone.
“No wonder, in the past two days, I’ve seen her eat just two bites and then say she’s full. She’s been nagging there all day long. It’s even worse than Feishuang in June.” 2 The sister-in-law said this, while the second brother frowned: "What can we do? Even the sister-in-law is stupid. The boss is not normal. God is the only one left. How miserable do you think it is? Do you know which one? Is the orphanage better?"
The mother slapped the second guy from behind with a speechless face and said, "Oh, what are you talking about? You really lost a thousand yuan! Anyone else would feel uncomfortable.”
"Mom, don't say it's a whole thousand yuan. Last time Sachiko had his pocket cut and took away three hundred yuan. When he came back, he came to me to dig it up. You are true to your words. If I know who it is, I will definitely beat him up. Give him a break," A Yao said.
After hearing A Yao's words, Lao Dou suddenly had an idea and said: "Everyone knows that my sister-in-law lost a thousand yuan and is very distressed now. I propose that the one thousand yuan should be given to A Zong and A Chan's parents-in-law. Can you sponsor me?”
“Huh?” The second brother and the second sister-in-law jumped up in surprise. I'm so spoiled."
"That's right, Lao Dou, my parents-in-law are not the ones who print silver paper. Besides, we are not the richest in the family. Why do we need to pay for it to my sister-in-law? "The second brother is naturally unwilling.
Of course Lao Dou knows who is rich in the family, but Yao Tsai is such a sweetheart, so he can only ask the second richest brother and sister-in-law in the family to provide money. Kang Qirui ate the melon and got it on himself, so he had to express his position: "I don't agree with giving money, Lao Dou, I"
Before he could finish speaking, Ayao interrupted: "You mean it's not that you don't want to give the money, but that you shouldn't withhold the money for many reasons, right? You want to say that the sister-in-law is very face-saving. If you Giving her money like this is equivalent to treating her as a beggar. If she wants to be more sophisticated, she will become stupid, so she shouldn’t be given money. Am I right?”
“You’re smart.” Kang Qirui rolled his eyes and commented sharply.
A Yao couldn't keep it off his face and said, "Then what do you mean?"
"What I mean is very simple. We are all adults and we have to deal with our own affairs." Bear the consequences yourself." Kang Qirui stood up, looked around, and said, "If a person loses money, someone will give it back to her. How will she or others learn a lesson and take good care of their own things in the future? If the elder sister-in-law loses money today, do you want her to make up for it? If the second sister-in-law loses money tomorrow, do you want to make up for it? Anyway, someone will make up for it, so you just put the money and things around and don’t need to keep them safe. That’s what you want. "
The more Kang Qirui spoke, the more stern his tone became, as if an associate professor was lecturing a student. Zhu Wanling pulled his clothes beside her to ask him to speak softer, but Kang Qirui did not obey her and continued to say seriously: "We have six children in our family, and we adults don't have any rules, so how can we educate our children? We told them that there is no need to keep things, and someone will replace them if they are lost. Is that true?”
"The second thing is, Lao Dou, don't you think your proposal is too morally kidnapped? If the second guy is rich and the sister-in-law loses money, the second guy has to use his own money to make up for the sister-in-law? What is the truth? If you have money, you are guilty?"
"My sister-in-law lost her money, and she was very distressed and sad. As relatives, we do need to comfort and help her, but not in this way. Taking a step back, do you really think we gave the money back? If I give it to my sister-in-law, will she take it? Will she be happy?”
Based on Kang Qirui’s understanding of Xianglan’s character and character, it is impossible for Xianglan to accept her family using their own money to compensate her? , there is no way she wants this money. One of the reasons why Kang Qirui was so angry was that this approach of Lao Dou Ayao and others would affect the children's education. Family members are always the children's first teachers.
Secondly, he felt that although they said it was for Xianglan, in fact they did not respect Xianglan. Their thoughts and actions were essentially an insult to people with Xianglan's character. . The fact that Xianglan was able to fall in love with the boss, an ordinary worker, was enough to show that she was not greedy for money.
She lost her money, and she felt sorry for herself. She kept complaining that she was just annoyed and regretful about this matter, and she was blaming herself. Kang Qirui believed that she did not do this because so-and-so paid for her own money.
Kang Qirui saw that everyone had come to their senses, so he continued: "What we need to do now is to find ways to alleviate my sister-in-law's complaints about herself and encourage her to maintain an optimistic attitude. If she really needs money, we can lend it to her. , but definitely not to her" (End of Chapter)
