Old Days (54)

"Stop!" shouted to the party in a suppressed voice, and then looked out vigilantly, fortunately, when he came back, the good homestead was divided, and he found such a place, and the nearest neighbor was fifty or sixty meters away. It's the second day of the Lunar New Year, and those who go to relatives go directly from the main road not far away. If at any other time, a person from the ground passes by the door, and that is really the end. Even if this scene is seen, the family will be completely finished.

He first pushed the stunned Li Yuefen inside, and then closed the door with his backhand and bolted directly from the inside. When he turned around, he looked at his children and grandchildren one by one, and his face turned white. But he still controlled his temper and suppressed his voice: "You guys!

One by one, you pushed and shoved me, and they didn't let go of what they got anyway.

Xiang Dang entered the hall and saw that the torn portrait had fallen to the ground, and he turned his head sharply to the one who followed him and said through gritted teeth: "Don't you want to die?"

I was only concerned about asking for gold, and who noticed that such an important portrait was brought to the ground. It was also full of footprints.

Li Yuefen sighed, hurriedly knelt down and picked up the statue, and wiped the floating soil on it as much as possible with the placket and sleeves.

Only then did these children and grandchildren of the Xiang family react, and they took two steps back one by one, revealing a little frightened.

looked at Li Yuefen at the party, and said: "Fortunately, I saw it with your mother, these are all relatives of the family, otherwise, you are like this...... Let outsiders see it, but how can it be obtained? ”

Li Yuefen laughed in her heart: What kind of relatives are relatives? If they are really relatives, do they need to say these superfluous words? When he said this, he was talking to himself, an outsider who was at home. The words are good, just to make yourself feel comfortable and promise not to tell others about it.

Her heart was as clear as a mirror, so she squinted at the party, and then snorted lightly: "I got a marriage certificate with you, if something really happens, I can't run away from you, and I can't run away from me." Don't say such nice things to fool me. If it's really a close relative, how can it be ......" she pointed to the gold ring in the crack of the brick, and sneered, "How can everyone in your family know about hiding gold and burying silver, but I don't know! I live with you at such an age, just because there is a person to talk to by my side! You said that you don't even have a word of truth with me, and you hide your heart and eyes from me everywhere...... Then why did you bother in the first place? Don't treat people as human beings when you don't use them, this will use me, and what kind of words will you say to disgust me! Lao Xiang, I really didn't think that you were such a number one person! Why? I'm afraid that I will share your family's things?" She snorted, and her voice became louder, "What do I want your things for? I have two or two daughters, but they are all married and have started a family! The eldest daughter has lost her husband, and life is sad. But my eldest grandson grew up, and the children went to work, so I took the salary and handed it over to her mother. My aunt worked as a temporary worker in a mine, but my eldest son was a regular worker. The two of them work, and there is still land at home. The two daughters don't live a spacious life, but the two have capable brothers, and the fourth is willing to give subsidies, and now they are living well. My eldest son is patrolling the railway, and my eldest daughter-in-law is a caretaker in the canteen of the farm. There are many children on their side, and most of them are subsidized by the Lin family. If I'm not afraid of your annoyance, you just have gold, can you buy meat now? My son can get it back when he goes out! He has dependence, and so do my children. I scarce your money?"

chattering, with a little anger, a little anger, a little disdain, and a little sadness, in front of the children and grandchildren of the Xiang family, he counted Xiang Dang well.

Li Yuefen snorted lightly, took the portrait on the kang, and carefully wiped the dust on it. It seems to have his head down, but his ears are propped up, listening to the movement over there.

I heard Xiang Dang say lightly: "Hand over all the things you took from the hall." ”

How can you hand it over when you get it?

One by one, they retracted, but they didn't take out.

The third brother said, "Dad, you can't just take care of your eldest grandson! These things should be divided equally between the three of us." It is possible to dredge up the relationship every day...... However, you can't put the whole family into it. ”

"That's it!" the second child followed and said, "We all took our own share." Dad, we don't ask how much you fill in, and I don't care how much you have to put in in the future, but ...... Now we have taken these things, and we are our own. ”

The eldest daughter-in-law was not happy: "You all have the eyes of a thief one by one." Where Dad's money is, I don't know anything. If I hadn't met his third aunt coming out of the hall with gold in her arms and telling me to break it, we would have both been in the dark. She pointed to the third daughter-in-law and said, "Dad, you have to ask her, how did she know where you hid things?"

How do you know?

The third family panicked: "Dad, this is not bad for me." I didn't know you had so many treasures hidden in this room......"

Li Yuefen continued: "Don't talk about you, I don't know." ”

The third family patted his thigh and said, "Mom, you don't know, but the second sister-in-law does!" When I went up to the thatched house, I saw my second sister-in-law opening the cabinet to get something from the back window...... Then how did my second sister-in-law know?"

Li Yuefen snorted coldly again: "No wonder! Tell me to go home, don't rush back." ”

The old man reacted violently: "What about his second aunt?"

What about people?

looked at the second child, and the second child shook his head, "How do I know where that mother-in-law has gone?"

The kid from the second family didn't know what the adults were arguing about, so he directly answered: "My mother went back to my grandmother's house." ”

Li Yuefen's heart was put down at once.

If this is still at home, even if it is hidden, as long as you rummage through the boxes and cabinets, you will definitely find it. This difference is a pair, and others may not suspect themselves.

But now it's okay, the second family's cleverness has gone back to his parents' house directly.

Once this gold is taken out and out of the door of Xiang's home, can you tell you how much you have taken out?

Even if you didn't hide it, you didn't hide it, and you told the truth, but who would believe it?

Xiang Dang gritted his teeth: "Take it out, take it out, I'll divide it equally for you." You are all hiding like this, I can know how much you have taken, and all the things you don't want to get have run away to other people's houses, and our family is still in the dark like fools. ”

That's right!

So, this one took a little, that one took a little, but the gold bar, only two.

No need to ask, it's all a traitor.

Xiang Dang snorted coldly: "I just have gold bars, which are twenty-four, and I am not honest?"

Li Yuefen said in her heart: You brag. Thirteen or fourteen at most.

But those children and grandchildren don't know the exact number. When they heard so many roots, they immediately looked at each other.

The boss said, "I only have one here, and if you swallow so much, you should hand it over quickly." ”

The third child also said, "If you have one, will I have more?" ”

As he spoke, the two glanced at each other, and then looked at the second child together: "How much did you take, take it out." ”

There are two of them in the old second-hand, and there is no way to do it, so I have to take them out, "That's all." It's really gone!"

Xiang Dang calculated in his heart: two on the table, one for the eldest, one for the third, and two for the second, which is a total of six.

There were fourteen gold bars in the chest, minus the six, and eight more.

Where did these eight go?

Xiang Xiang looked at the second child, and then personally went over to search the second child up and down, and saw that there was indeed nothing, so he said: "Go immediately and call your daughter-in-law back." ”

The third daughter-in-law said: "The family is a family of two, and the money is hidden, and it belongs to others." Isn't this a call for someone to cover up?" she pointed to the old family: "I'd better go with my sister-in-law." I'm going to get her back. ”

There are only six gold bars in the family now, but my father-in-law said that there are twenty-four in total, which means that there are eighteen more.

Eighteen of them!

This shameless girl really dares to be greedy.

Xiang Dang thought about it and nodded, and called Li Yuefen: "Look at what else they have on them! Don't call it a loophole." ”

Li Yuefen didn't go, she looked angry, she only said: "I want to search you, I won't go! No matter who it is, it's all on your family, why should I get my hands dirty? I also advise you, don't take it too seriously, it's good, it's the meat rotting in the pot." No cheap outsiders. ”

Choked the party: Is there a father-in-law who goes to search for his daughter-in-law?

The two sons over there reached out and touched their daughter-in-law's body: "It's really gone! Dad!" As he spoke, he pushed his daughter-in-law and urged: "Why don't you go quickly, what about eighteen gold bars?"

The two of them walked away, and they didn't need to look at it to know that there must be something hidden on their bodies.

Even if it's not a gold bar, it's gold jewelry.

Women are naturally obsessed with this thing, and they want to vomit it when they hold it in their hands, which is a dream.

The two left, and the rest of the people were not idle, and they checked each other. Call the kids!

The children of the old family check the whole family of the second family, the children of the second family check the whole family of the third family, and the third family checks the old family. Not only check the body, but also check the house of each person.

Then there were a lot of gold jewellery checkouts.

looked at the party, not to mention the gold bars, the jewelry was found seventy percent.

The family won't go out today, just wait. Wait for the three daughters-in-law to come back. No one was allowed to leave the house until they returned.

And Liu Ling, holding the gold bar, circled around the house. Finally, I carefully dug a hole in the toilet, found a broken jar, wrapped the gold bars with straw, and turned the ashes from the kitchen into mud, wrapped the straw balls, stuffed them into the broken jars, and buried them in the pit. I was afraid that others would see that the pit was newly dug, so I quickly took out all the ashes in the kang hole and poured it on the new soil. Generally, the ashes taken out of the house are piled up on the edge of the toilet, and the dry toilet is filled with the filth of the toilet with that ash.

After cleaning everything up, he called the pimple on the bed: "Go to your fourth uncle's house for a day today, play with your younger brothers and sisters, you know? ”

In response, he was willing to go to the fourth uncle's house. There's always something delicious.

In the eyes of this child, whoever gives him good food is a relative.

As for his father not going home for the New Year, what his mother is going to do today, he doesn't care about all of this.

Liu Lingdang sent the child over, and the pimple went to play with Chaoyang by himself. She hurriedly avoided the child and whispered to Lin Yutong about the matter: "...... I don't know where the gold bars came from, and my heart is unstable. I won't dare to touch this money, I've hidden it. ”

Lin Yutong estimated that Li Yuefen stole it.

The thing that Xiang did to the children of the family, with the current provisions for the felony of stealing food, is not in the category of extenuating circumstances for organizing and stealing, and having a purpose and planning.

There had been two bags of grain stolen before and was caught and sentenced to twelve years.

If he were to take the previous case as a reference, it would not be too much to say that 20 years would be too much.

An eighteen-year-old young man, as soon as he enters, it will be twenty years, even if the sentence is reduced, then he will be more than thirty years old when he comes out. Half of a lifetime has passed.

Xiang Dang will definitely find a way.

Is this money exposed to find someone to intercede?

If so, that's fine.

But Li Yuefen has never discovered such an important thing, how could she just find it at this juncture?

She asked Liu Lingdang this, and Liu Lingdang's heart chuckled: "Nothing will happen to my mother, right?"

Lin Yutong said: "In this way, you go back to your parents' house first, and come back in the next half of the morning." When the time comes, call the pimple to find his milk. ”

Anyone who goes is not suitable, it will make people feel strange, and no one will feel anything if they only go to the pimple.

Liu Ling went back to her parents' house, but she went around her mother's house, and was squeezed twice by the old lady's brother, she didn't even sit down, she got up and left directly. Originally, I just wanted to go around the entrance of the village, but after thinking about it, if something happened to Li Yuefen, it would matter if I went back to my parents' house. Thinking that this was explained by her mother-in-law, she endured to go to her mother's house for a turn. Put the two steamed buns in the salute and go straight home.

When I got home, I had just finished lunch.

When Lin Yutong saw her coming back, he called Pimple, "...... Tell your grandmother that the fourth aunt gave you a fish, and you asked your grandmother to go home and eat it together......"

The pimple rolled in her eyes, and she told her grandmother to eat, and her grandmother would definitely give her share to herself.

He laughed heartlessly: "I'm going now! I'm running fast!"

There are indeed fish.

It's not fresh fish, it's big?? Smoked fish sent over.

Liu Lingdang went back first, and Lin Yutong really took two smoked fish weighing more than one pound and sent them to her family.

As soon as she entered the door, Li Yuefen came back. As soon as she heard that the fourth family sent fish, she understood in her heart. I'm afraid that the eldest daughter-in-law will tell the younger daughter-in-law everything. The little daughter-in-law's heart was bright, and she wanted to call herself home to talk.

Do it all, she said.

"I just couldn't hold back. Li Yuefen lowered her head, "If you take it, you can't return it." Just don't do it and keep doing it. You can see the money go away, but that's for later, now...... But don't show it...... It's best not to hide it at home. I've thought of a good place, and when it's time to burn paper, I'll go to the cemetery and bury that thing at your father-in-law's feet......"

According to funeral customs, the position of the foot is to place the tombstone.

So, she was referring to the place below the tombstone.

"By the way, put up the tombstone!" she sighed as she spoke, "Let your father look at it, I feel at ease!"

Lin Yutong asked her rhetorically: "Why don't you want to think about it, you have followed the party for so long...... When this house is built, you don't even know that there is a place hidden in the house. It can be seen that people hide it very tightly. I didn't even think to let you know. When building a house, how difficult is it to hide it? You have to put something in it...... You didn't even notice all these procedures. Someone must have found a way to get rid of you. Now people want to take something out of it, and then they will take you away. Besides, listen to what you mean, he didn't pick up anything in the middle of the night, he just opened it and looked at it. If you don't take something, what reason is there to risk being found to inspect it?" Saying that, Lin Yutong paused for a moment and asked her: "...... What about the lock on it, if you say it's open, it's open?"

Li Yuefen covered her mouth suddenly: "You mean...... That old thing was meant to be seen by me?"

Or else?

Whose most important things are not locked?

It is hidden so tightly, living in a room with Li Yuefen, and not afraid of Li Yuefen finding out, which shows its ingenuity.

Why was it so careless, unprovoked to inspect, make all kinds of noises, and then forgot to lock it.

How to explain it?

Li Yuefen was puzzled: "This old thing......
