Chapter 33 Careless Loss of Wealth
When he arrived home at three o'clock in the afternoon, Han Tuo didn't stay long because he often used a tricycle at home, and rode home on a tricycle, and Li Lanfang wanted to wash clothes and went home.
Xiao Ji was fiddling with a rag doll on the kang, and Zhao Yunfei sat at the round table and counted the remaining money spent today.
I went to the town and brought a total of 200 yuan, repaired the TV for 3 yuan, bought a cake for 11 yuan, 4 fried cakes for 24 yuan, plus invited Dr. Liu to eat egg fried rice for 5 yuan, and Dr. Liu also forced back 10 yuan, so that today a total of 33 yuan was spent, which was completely expected.
With such careful calculations, Zhao Yunfei has already formed a habit, which is also forced by conditions, otherwise he would not have been able to open the pot a long time ago.
Zhao Yunfei finished settling the accounts, stood up and stuffed the change of one cent, five cents, and one yuan and five yuan denominations under the mat on the kang, planning to put the whole coins of ten, twenty, and one hundred yuan into the big closet.
Zhao Yunfei's house doesn't have any decent furniture, only this large wardrobe made of plywood, which contains some old clothes, because the family really can't find a better place to put money, so Zhao Yunfei hid the disaster relief money under these clothes.
When he came to the big closet, Zhao Yunfei suddenly felt as if he had stepped on something under his feet, he moved his feet and found that there was a round object on the ground that was slightly larger than a one-yuan coin, and picked it up casually.
It was a small ornament in the shape of a wolf's head carved from the bones of some kind of animal, and a red rope passed through a small hole in the wolf's ear, and the red rope had turned oily black, probably because the owner of the ornament did not bathe often, but now the red rope was broken, otherwise it would not have appeared here.
Holding this ornament, Zhao Yunfei felt very strange, whose thing is this? I think I've seen it somewhere!
"It's bad!" Zhao Yunfei looked at it for a moment and suddenly remembered that the last time he met him at the gate of the village committee, he was wearing one of these wolf headpieces around his neck.
"How did his stuff end up here?" Zhao Yunfei was taken aback in his heart, an extremely ominous feeling hit his heart, he hurriedly opened the big closet, turned over those old clothes, and saw that the place where the money was hidden was empty, no matter how he turned it, he just couldn't find the disaster relief money.
I shook off my clothes one by one, but I still didn't find them.
In an instant, Zhao Yunfei felt as if someone had poured a basin of ice water on his head and froze in front of the big closet.
The disaster relief money that was finally brought back was lost so easily? That's the living expenses of him and Xiao Ji for a whole year!
He hated himself for being careless, for the yard was so low that it could be easily overturned, and the dogs knew the village thugs, and did not bark or bite them, so that the house would be better to enter, and the keys would be hidden in the shoes by the door, or simply push open the windows and get in—those windows were all hidden, and because the house was dilapidated and deformed, the windows could not be bolted at all, let alone the place where the money was hidden, and all the thieves knew how to turn under the clothes of the oversized closet.
"A thief with a thousand cuts!" At this moment, Zhao Yunfei hated the root of his teeth, the bad Si'er's things were thrown here, this money must be taken by the bad Si'er, who else can he find if he doesn't look for the bad Si'er to ask for this money? In a fit of rage he was about to take the knife on top of the cupboard, but he quickly came to his senses again.
"Calm down, calm down." He secretly told himself in his heart, withdrew the thought and hand of holding the knife, and glanced back at Xiao Ji, who was sitting on the kang and playing with the rag doll, with a happy smile on his face, completely unaware of what was happening on his side.
Zhao Yunfei tidied up the messed clothes in the big closet a little, then stood up and walked out of the house quickly.
Bad Si'er's home is only a few alleys away from Zhao Yunfei's house, and Bad Si'er is famous in the village for eating, drinking, prostituting, gambling, and idleness, and I don't know when he is still getting involved with the gangsters in the county, and from time to time he takes one or two people to hang around the village and show off to the people in the village -- there are people in our city, as if he has also become a city person.
Entering the yard of the bad four's house, the bad four's wife was coming out of the toilet while tying her pants.
"Fourth sister-in-law, is the fourth brother at home?" Zhao Yunfei stopped and asked.
"Go to the chess club to find it, the chess club is closer than!" The wife of the bad fourth son complained.
The "chess club" is actually a casino, and its name is called: chess club. In fact, it is selling dog meat on the head of a sheep, and it has nothing to do with "chess".
Now this society has produced many strange words, for example, unemployment is not called unemployment, it is called laid-off; The young daughter of the official Qiang Jian is not called Qiang Jian, but is called a prostitute; Wheel jian is not called wheel jian, it is called taking turns to have a xing relationship......
Chess clubs are generally opened by villagers, just at home, which has been very common in rural areas, as long as there are not too small population villages will have chess clubs, and some large villages even open several.
Of course, the chess club is not open by anyone who wants to, if it has nothing to do with the police station in the town or there are no relatives in the family who are officials in the county, the chess club will not dare to open, and even if it is opened, it will be fined and seized.
In a word, if there is no power in the village, this chess club will not be easy to open.
The boss of the chess club in Donglongquan Village is the nephew of Li Chengliang, the director of the town police station, and there is such a relative in the family, which is relatively bullish in the village, at least no one dares to bully, and the chess club can also be opened steadily.
Don't underestimate the chess club, a chess club can earn tens of thousands of dollars a year only by taking the head, the boss of the chess club will earn money while sitting at home, the wind can't blow, the rain can't hit, drought and flood can not ensure the harvest, this is much stronger than farming, so the chess club in the village is constantly improving the service level in order to pull people, such as free tea supply, watermelon in summer, melon seeds in winter, and sometimes a meal of noodles, what is the purpose of this? Nothing more than to keep the gambler.
From the gate, you can hear the sound of mahjong cards hitting the table, Zhao Yunfei walked into the yard, and saw through the window glass that there were three tables of mahjong in the room, and there were a few copies of the bucket master, Bad Si'er was playing mahjong in front of the mahjong table at the door, with open shirt buttons, and the electric fan next to him blew Bad Si'er's dirty long hair together.
"It's really back, you can't be a dragon anymore!" Bad Si'er has been unlucky for a while, and often scolds dice.
"Did you get the same with your wife when you were red? Otherwise, how could you carry it like this? The people who played mahjong at the same table laughed at the bad four.
Bad Si'er scolded: "I don't care if she's popular or not, as long as Lao Tzu is interested, she can go on at any time, and she has never easily spared that stinky woman." ”
Everyone at the table laughed.
Zhao Yunfei pushed the door into the house, "snapped", and threw the wolf skull carving in front of the bad Si'er, who was losing a mess, cursing more than once, and didn't notice Zhao Yunfei entering the house at all, and suddenly saw the bone carving on his neck falling on the table, he was taken aback, touched his neck reflexively, and then raised his head to see Zhao Yunfei with an angry face.
Bad Si'er's face couldn't help but change, and then instantly returned to normal.
The other three mahjong players also stopped drawing cards, and they didn't know what was going on, they all looked at Zhao Yunfei.
