Chapter 440: Who Stole the Change of Mouth Fee?

"No need!" Wang's fifth daughter-in-law pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled: "There are still some noodles at home in the morning." I'll heat it up for a while, and we'll just take a bite. ”

The custom of Yangzhuang is in the bride's mother's house, and the mother has to feed the girl to eat noodles. When they arrived at the new house, the mother-in-law prepared dumplings, and the newlyweds fed each other.

Zhang Cuilian didn't seem to have these when she got married, and later asked the neighbors around her in Suiyuan, some people ate dumplings before they got married, some people ate noodles, and some didn't eat anything in the new house.

After persuading Wang Wu and his wife for a while, Zhang Cuilian followed one of Wang Xiaohua's aunts to the hotel. When I arrived at the hotel, I saw Song Lei, who had changed his clothes and was refreshed, was greeting him at the door. Seeing Zhang Cuilian and her family hurriedly showing her the way, Zhang Cuilian smiled and sat at a table with several women who were familiar with her.

At this time, the wedding banquet was not as famous as the one behind, and I had to go on stage to speak, thank my parents, and various performances. The witness of the Song family said two words, and Song Lei's father smiled like a flower and said to everyone: "Eat and drink well, drink and eat well!" "It's over when everyone laughs.

The rest is that the old couple of the Song family toasted from table to table, and the guests were also very real. A large glass of liquor went down, and the two young men who Song Lei had invited to accompany the wine in advance drank and vomited.

After a round of toasting, the guests were almost gone, and Zhang Cuilian noticed that many people actually took out their own convenience bags to pack the unfinished meals and take them home.

Although this era is not as particular as that of later generations, and there is no shortage of materials before, there are really many people who drag their families to attend weddings and have to pack.

Zhang Cuilian's table actually has nothing to bring, because the meat dishes were basically swept away not long after the banquet opened.

A woman she didn't know very well on the other side said that the loudspeaker was a family in the village with the same surname Yang. She led a little girl about ten years old and seven or eight years old, and held a son of three or four years old in her arms. The plate of fish that came up first, she grabbed half of it with her chopsticks. Then she brought a plate of chicken, and she was the first chopsticks to clip a chicken head, and pulled a chicken leg for the eldest daughter and the younger daughter. What he gave his youngest son was a large piece of elbow meat, and he didn't hesitate to go around the world with a pair of chopsticks.

The big horn also brought his own child over, and when he saw Zhang Cuilian stunned, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "What is there to see here, how normal it is." The head child in the family can have something delicious, don't take advantage of this time to eat! ”

She whispered to Zhang Cuilian: "The people in the village saw that the old Song family had made money, and they all worked hard to eat the banquet. If you don't eat for nothing, you don't eat for nothing, it's all dragged by the family. ”

Zhang Cuilian swept around when she heard this, and sure enough, it was so. The men's table is okay, they all push glasses and change glasses, drink and don't like to eat. Most of the women led the children, and they didn't drink, and they all ate happily.

The loudspeaker asked Zhang Cuilian curiously: "Your family has a hundred yuan?" Let me tell you that the most expensive and expensive in our village is only fifty yuan. These people came with ten yuan, and the family of four or five came to eat. People who don't usually move around have come, and they all eat cheap food. ”

Zhang Cuilian also heard just now that the Song family originally prepared forty tables but didn't sit down. There were still many people standing and waiting at the door, but the people who had finished eating inside left. After the waiter in the restaurant finished cleaning, he went to the kitchen to bring a new table.

And Gu Zhicheng's table was a little slow to drink, and when Gu Zhicheng got up and was about to leave. Zhang Cuilian saw two tall and thin old ladies walking over with red convenience bags, and couldn't help but pour the dishes that didn't move the chopsticks much.

They also didn't have the opportunity to sweep the same dish next to the table, and some could only rummage around on their own tables, trying to get as many as they could.

Zhang Cuilian sat in place and waited for Gu Zhicheng, so she was fortunate to see this scene. Otherwise, she really didn't believe what the loudspeaker said.

Gu Zhicheng was slightly drunk and walked out with the help of Zhang Cuilian, Zhang Cuilian couldn't help but complain: "Why do you drink so much?" ”

"Come over and toast, oops, do you drink his or don't you drink his? It's really annoying, and it's not me getting married. I haven't even drunk so much since I got married! Zhang Cuilian couldn't help but smile and said, "You didn't set up a banquet when you got married." Isn't it just that the family sits together and eats a meal, otherwise who can spare you! ”

Gu Zhicheng faltered when he heard this, put his hand on Zhang Cuilian's shoulder and patted her shoulder: "I'm sorry, Cuilian, I didn't even give you a decent wedding." ”

Zhang Cuilian said indifferently: "It's okay, it's just a formality." At that time, I didn't know what would happen if there was a wedding. It's okay if you don't have one! ”

The two of them walked home slowly under the warm sun. As soon as I walked through the vegetable market, I was stopped by Wang Dahua, who was chasing after me on a bicycle.

She said anxiously: "Just now Xiaohua called home and asked my mother how much money she gave to change her mouth." ”

Zhang Cuilian and Gu Zhicheng looked at each other, Wang Dahua took a breath and said, "After eating just now, Xiaohua will go home first." She followed her sister-in-law and mother-in-law to count the money at home, and found that the money in Song Lei's bag was wrong. said that he would give 1,000 yuan to change his mouth, and there were only 200 left in it. Now his mother-in-law is checking the gift money and the list, I don't know if I can lose it. ”

The change fee was less, and Wang Xiaohua hurriedly called her parents. Wang Wu and his family couldn't go to see their daughter, and Wang Dahua couldn't see her. The big guys who can't publicize this matter know it, so they can only come to Zhang Cuilian, the matchmaker.

Gu Zhicheng had completely sobered up at this time, and the two of them took the bicycle from Wang Dahua's hand. Zhang Cuilian jumped on the back seat and followed Gu Zhicheng to the Song family, where Wang Xiaohua sat on the kang with a sad face in the new room of the Song family.

"What's going on? How much have you lost? Gu Zhicheng was not taboo, approached the new house and asked Wang Xiaohua with a frown.

"I lost 800 yuan in the change fee, and my dad specially exchanged 20 consecutive numbers in the bank for us. Twenty pieces for fifty dollars, it looks thick and good-looking. Now there are only four left, and they are not next to each other. Wang Xiaohua handed the red envelope to Gu Zhicheng, Zhang Cuilian grabbed it and took it out, and sure enough, it was four new tickets that were not serial but had similar numbers.

"You didn't lose anything else, did you?" Zhang Cuilian looked at Song Lei's mother, Song Lei's mother frowned and said angrily: "It is his old uncle who collects the money, and it is my eldest brother who keeps the accounts." The account and the money matched, but the money was not lost. But the cigarettes that our family had kept in the restaurant were stolen, and four boxes of champagne were missing. ”

The cigarettes were lost and the Song family was not quiet, so they hurriedly asked people to go to a nearby store to buy a few. It took a walk around the whole village to get together, and those who didn't know thought that the Song family was happy to smoke today. As for the champagne, it was also the warehouse door that was pried open and four boxes were lost.

Song Lei and his son are still in the hotel and don't know, I'm afraid I'm going to go crazy after a while.

"How did you lose the money? Whose hands did it all go through? Zhang Cuilian asked Wang Xiaohua to recall the experience, Wang Xiaohua said: "I took this bag out of my mother's house, and it has always been in my hand, and later gave it to my mother-in-law." ”

Song Lei's mother's old face turned red: "I didn't think much about it, so I put the bag in the kang cabinet and separated it." There was a lot of noise, and I was also in a hurry. ”

Others didn't have a chance, that is, a few people in the new house at that time. Because of the lessons from the past, Gu Zhicheng asked: "Do you remember who came in the house, and who are from our village?" ”

Song Lei's mother said two people, but she felt that she couldn't remember clearly. At this time, Song Lei, who rushed back after hearing the news, walked in and asked in a deep voice, "How much money did you lose?" ”

Her mother said apologetically: "I lost 800 yuan, your change of mouth fee!" ”

Seeing his mother's face full of guilt, Song Lei blurted out without thinking about it: "It's okay, don't get angry." Just give me only 200 yuan to change my mouth! ”

Wang Xiaohua stopped doing it at that time, and said sharply: "Why? My mom gave you a thousand! ”

Song Lei was slightly drunk and annoyed when he heard this: "Then what do you say?" Did I let you lose it? Are you not optimistic about it yourself? ”

Wang Xiaohua is also angry, this is the first day of marriage, Song Lei, who was very frustrated when he made such a fuss, actually treated himself like this.

Song Lei's mother saw that her son couldn't speak, so she gave him a slap when she went up. He scolded angrily: "Can you speak? What are you angry at her? Do you have the ability to find the one who has lost your conscience? This is obviously an eye medicine for us. ”

She turned around to reassure Wang Xiaohua: "Hua'er, don't take it to heart." You have known Leizi for so many years, you know what kind of virtue he is. This money mom will make it up for you, don't take it to heart. ”

Wang Xiaohua also hurriedly apologized: "Mom, it's my tone that is wrong." I don't mean to blame you, I'm also holding back the fire in my heart, I'm really sorry. ”

"While no one is leaving, let's think about it." Song Lei's mother looked embarrassed: "Let's see if we can figure out who did it." ”

There are two red envelopes in Wang Xiaohua's bag, and the one given by her mother's family was given to Song Lei's mother-in-law's family and given to Wang Xiaohua. The red envelopes of the two families look different, one is printed with gold characters and the other has nothing. So Wang Xiaohua can determine whose money was lost.

Gu Zhicheng's eyes lit up and said, "That means that this money was not taken in the kang cabinet." The bag in the kang cabinet was two thousand yuan, and if you wanted to take it, you had to take out two handfuls of money. ”

When everyone heard this, they also felt that this was the case, if they took the money themselves, they would definitely smoke the same thing at the same time. If it wasn't taken in the kang cabinet, it would have been taken from her mother's house until it was finally handed over to Song Lei's mother.

Whoever has the chance to touch this bag is likely to be the person who stole the money.

"When I was in a new house, I gave my bag to my fifth aunt, and when I went out, I gave it to Xiao Na." Xiao Na is Wang Xiaohua's cousin, and she is only fifteen years old this year.

Who the hell is it?
