Chapter 128: Money from an Unknown Origin
Cui Tao looked at Cui Xiaotao and said, "What can you do?"
Cui Xiaotao said: "After selling the drill bit and dividing the money, I can go to the county seat to buy you the same clothes." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Hearing this, Tao Tao was overjoyed and said happily: "Why didn't I think of it, but I don't know if there are any clothes in the county that are exactly the same as my clothes?"
Cui Xiaotao smiled and said: "If there is no one in the county, we will go to the city to buy it for you, there must be." “
Hearing that he was going to the city, Taotao felt so far away, he never thought that he could go to the city without his mother's company.
However, he still gave Cui Xiaotao a thumbs up and said, "Okay, then let's hurry up and sell drill bits." “
After speaking, a few friends took Taotao's clothes, wrapped the drill bit, and walked towards Baokui's house.
Like the previous times, they were still going to give the drill bit to Bao Kui's mother first, and then share the money with everyone when Bao Kui's mother sold the drill bit.
However, when he was about to arrive at Baokui's house, Fan Wei raised an objection, he stopped first and said: "Cui Xiaotao, are you sure you want to give the drill bit to Baokui's mother, let her sell it, and then give us the money?"
Cui Xiaotao nodded and said, "Yes, what else should I do?"
Fan Wei said on a whim: "Look, can we do this, we don't go through Baokui's mother, but sell drill bits ourselves, so that we can make more money." “
Cui Xiaotao thought for a while and said: "Without Baokui's mother taking a cut from the middle, we will definitely be able to earn more, but in the peasant village, there are villagers' children who will rob, I am afraid that we will just sell the drill bit, and the money on our bodies will be robbed by the villagers' children." “
Fan Wei, who is the boss, was very angry, and he asked Cui Xiaotao, "Have you been robbed?"
Cui Xiaotao nodded seriously and said, "I was robbed, so I gave the scrap iron to Baokui's mother and asked her to sell the scrap iron for me."
Fan Wei asked with gusting hands: "How old are they who robbed you, and are you tall?"
Cui Xiaotao described a few villagers and children who robbed him and said: "There are just two people, and they feel older than us, and they are as tall as Pi Dong." “
Hearing this, Fan Wei turned to look at Pi Dong, thinking to himself, although Pi Dong is tall, he can't even beat himself, if two Pi Dong come to rob, it may not be the opponent of the four of them.
So Fan Wei decided to take the risk and said: "It's okay, there are only two of them, but we have four people, when the time comes, Cui Xiaotao and I will deal with one, Taotao and Pi Dong will deal with one, I still don't believe it, they are our opponents?"
Hearing that Fan Wei was going to single-handedly pick out the children in the peasant village, Cui Xiaotao said worriedly: "The children in the peasant village have all grown up doing farm work since childhood, and they are very powerful, and we are not necessarily their opponents. “
Hearing this, Fan Wei squatted down, picked up half a brick from the ground, held it in his hand and said, "No matter how strong they are, we will take half a brick by ourselves, and we don't believe that they are our opponents." “
Hearing this, several friends had no objections.
Tao Tao looked at the half of the brick in Fan Wei's hand, and his heart was a little weak.
Although he fights at school, he has never used bricks.
He was afraid that he would hurt others with bricks, in which case his mother would have to pay for the injured person's medical treatment, and his family would not have that much money.
Seeing that no one objected to his opinion, Fan Wei led everyone, bypassing Baokui's house, and marching towards the peasant village.
Under the leadership of Cui Xiaotao, several people smoothly came to the old woman's house to collect scrap iron, and sold the drill bit, which was originally estimated to sell for more than 200 yuan, to 300 yuan.
Now, the four friends each got nearly eighty yuan.
Tao Tao has grown so big, and he has never seen so much money.
He was so nervous that he stuffed the money into his underwear to feel safe.
The children hid the cash on their bodies and walked out of the farmer's village.
Along the way, Tao Tao nervously raised his heart to his throat, for fear of meeting the children of the peasant village, for fear of fighting a vicious battle with them.
However, fortunately, the children did not encounter the villagers who robbed them, and successfully walked out of the peasant village.
After leaving the peasant village and entering the compound of a family, the four people breathed a sigh of relief in an instant, and said that they were finally safe.
The four people who had money first took a bus to the county, and after a big meal, they went to the game machine hall to play game machines.
Fan Wei likes to play Dinosaur Wars the most, Pi Dong likes to play The King of Fighters the most, Cui Xiaotao likes to play slot machines the most, and Cui Tao likes to play the Three Kingdoms the most.
Unconsciously, a few children played late and forgot all about buying clothes for Taotao.
Dongmei waited at home until it was dark, and she didn't see Taotao come back, so she was a little anxious to pace at home.
She knows that in the summer, children like to go to the Yanhe River below the base to play, especially to play in the water.
Every year, one or two children drown in the river.
When Dongmei was worried, Taotao happily pushed open the door and walked in.
Seeing that Taotao was back, Dongmei immediately took the rice that had been cooked, but was cool, reheated it in the pot and brought it out to Taotao.
In the past, Tao Tao, who came back late from playing, would gobble up his meal, but today, Tao Tao symbolically only ate a few bites and stopped eating.
Dongmei was very puzzled, looked at Taotao and said, "I didn't come back to eat at noon, why didn't I eat at lunch." “
Taotao smiled and said happily, "Mom, I'm not hungry." “
Dongmei asked curiously, "You haven't eaten for a day, aren't you hungry?"
Tao Tao said: "Cui Xiaotao invited us to eat today, so I am not hungry." “
Hearing that Cui Xiaotao invited everyone to dinner, Dongmei knew that Cui Xiaotao's father, Cui Dongbei, often traveled on business, so he would leave Cui Xiaotao with living expenses, so she didn't think much about it.
She reminded Taotao: "Cui Xiaotao has no mother since he was a child, and his father doesn't care much, every time my father goes on a business trip, he leaves the meal ticket for the canteen, if he treats him again next time, you don't want to eat it, otherwise after eating his meal ticket, how will he live the rest of the days?"
What Dongmei said is very reasonable, Cui Xiaotao's place will steal things, and lead everyone to steal things, in addition to Cui Dongbei's regardless of whether he teaches or not, it is also related to the fact that he has too little money left for his children.
Every time Cui Xiaotao spent his meal ticket indiscriminately, he had no money to eat, so he came up with the idea of stealing.
Taotao listened carefully to Dongmei's words, nodded and said, "I know my mother, I won't let Cui Xiaotao invite me to dinner in the future." “
After explaining the matter, Dongmei asked Taotao back to business: "Taotao, mom asked you, mom found ten yuan in your clothes pocket today, where did you get this money?"
Hearing that his mother had found out about the money on his body, Tao Tao became nervous, for fear that his stealing of scrap iron would be exposed.
However, when children are also smart, Tao Tao immediately thought of the best excuse.
He looked at his mother and said sincerely, "I picked up these ten yuan on the way to school." “
Hearing this, Dongmei frowned suspiciously and asked, "I picked it up on the way to school, which section of the road?"
Tao Tao was stunned for a moment, but immediately had an answer, he said: "It was picked up next to the garbage heap in the deep pit after crossing the bridge."
Hearing this, Dongmei believed two-thirds of it, after all, the child made it clear where he picked up the money.
But Dongmei was not very sure, she asked again: "Then when you picked up the money, who saw it?"
Taotao immediately pulled Cui Xiaotao out and said, "Cui Xiaotao saw it, don't believe it, I'll call him to our house tomorrow, you can ask him face to face." “
Dongmei looked at Taotao with an innocent face and said, "Okay, since Cui Xiaotao has seen it, then tomorrow, if I have time to invite him to our house for dinner, I will ask him in person." “
Tao Tao nodded happily and said, "Okay, Mom, I'll ask Cui Xiaotao to come to our house for dinner tomorrow." “
Hearing Tao Tao's tone of voice so sincere, and seeing Tao Tao's expression so innocent, Dongmei believed Tao Tao 100%.
In the case of not finding the owner, Dongmei confiscated Taotao's ten yuan, but in order not to make the child sad, Dongmei promised to give Taotao a dime every day and give him the ten yuan in 100 days.
After Dongmei came out of the bedroom, Taotao breathed a long sigh of relief, thinking to himself, fortunately, he has a high IQ and is extremely smart, otherwise his mother will find out that he is stealing scrap iron and selling scrap iron, and the consequences will be serious.
As for asking Cui Xiaotao to come to the house tomorrow to ask, Taotao had already thought about it when answering Dongmei's question, that is, to collude with Cui Xiaotao in advance and deceive Dongmei together.
At night, before going to bed, in order to prevent Dongmei from discovering the huge amount of money on her body, Taotao divided the remaining sixty yuan into three parts, each with more than 20 yuan, and hid them in the old shoes under the bed, under the mattress, and under the flower pot in the living room.
When it was done, Tao Tao showed a proud smile, he felt that the three places he had hidden were simply safe and seamless, no matter what, his mother would not be able to find out.
However, a child is a child after all, Dongmei can't find it, and maybe her sister Nana can't find it.
Sure enough, when Taotao went out to play the next day, Nana tossed around at home, and found the three sums of money under the bed, under the mattress, and behind the flower pot.
Compared to Taotao, Nana was naturally frightened by the money.
She rushed straight to Dongmei and told Dongmei, "Mom, bad people came to our house to steal money." “
Dongmei, who was mixing noodles and preparing to make noodles, took her hand out of the basin and said, "Is there a bad guy coming in, my mother doesn't seem to hear the sound of the door opening?"
Nana spread her hands out and showed a handful of change, and said, 'Mom, you see, our money has been stolen. “
Seeing the money in Nana's hand, Dongmei was stunned, her eyes widened and she said, "Nana, you tell your mother, where did the money come from?"
Nana gave the money to Dongmei, and then took Dongmei to the three places where she found the money.
Dongmei was surprised, and thought to herself, who hid the money in these places, could it be Wei Guo's private money?
However, Wei Guo is not a person who hides private money at all, he doesn't smoke, he doesn't drink, he just earns money, he doesn't spend money.
Could it be the money that Tao Tao hid?
However, I just found out his ten dollars yesterday, why did more than sixty yuan suddenly pop up today?
Did he pick it up?
Thinking of this, Dongmei suddenly felt that something was serious, a child in the fourth grade, who had so much extra money for no reason, if it wasn't stolen, where would so much money come from?
