Chapter 124: Lessons from experience
persuaded Mrs. Li for a long time, and finally let Mrs. Li dispel her thoughts.
Only then did I talk about the matter of money for medical treatment, these two people were sick together, and they both had to recuperate, and I am afraid it would cost a lot of silver.
Although Mrs. Li is reluctant, if the boss is alone, it will be okay, but she still has the body of the house, she is not a person who can't distinguish the weight, and she is not happy, but she still goes to open the box to turn over the silver.
After opening the lock, Mrs. Li touched the bottom of the box for a long time, her face changed, and she was stuck somewhere.
Mei Xiaotong saw that Mrs. Li's face was wrong, and hurriedly asked, "Mother, what's wrong?" β
Mrs. Li didn't speak, she wanted to turn the box upside down on the kang, seeing her struggling, Mei Xiaotong hurriedly stepped forward to take the box and helped her pour the contents of the box on the kang one by one.
The material of the clothes, as well as some needles and threads, rolled a kang.
Mrs. Li's face turned pale, and she shook the clothes one by one and threw them on the ground.
"Mother, what are you looking for? What's missing? Mei Xiaotong saw Mrs. Li like this, and had a bad premonition in her heart.
Mrs. Li rummaged through the things on the kang, sat on the ground, and the big cold sweat on her forehead rolled down, "Girl! There has been a burglar in the house! Our family's title deeds and silver are all gone! β
"What?" Mei Xiaotong was dumbfounded.
However, he still helped Mrs. Li up first, sat on the kang, and then asked carefully, "Mother, did you put it somewhere else?" There's never been a break in this house on weekdays, so it's impossible to get into a thief-"
Before the words fell, the mother and daughter glanced at each other, and they both had a bad guess in their hearts.
Mei Xiaotong recalled that night, she proposed to let Mei Changan go to Mei Changgui's house to rest, but Mei Changan refused.
I thought of the dinner table again, Mei Changan kept pouring wine for Mei Zhongzhong, and when she got up in the morning, Mei Changan looked panicked, and her clothes were tied in her belt.
The most obvious thing is that before you finally leave, that sentence, don't regret it!
That's his provocation! After he swept away the Mei family's bottom line, he didn't forget to disgust the Mei family
This son of a bitch! Mei Xiaotong was so angry that she was about to burst into foul language.
How can there be such people in the world? first used quacks to harm the life of his eldest brother, and then in order to get promoted and make a fortune, he secretly took away the title deed that his parents and brothers relied on for a living.
This hand is really vicious! If you really don't do it, as soon as you do it, you will directly cut off all the back roads of the Mei family!
Mei Changan is not only ruthless to outsiders, but also does not spare any hands on his relatives!
But how did he know where the title deeds and the silver house were?
Mei Xiaotong's face changed, and she remembered that Mei Xiaotong in the past was so stupid, and every time Mei Changan gave a little favor, she said everything stupidly.
It seems that in her memory, she seems to have mentioned the place where Mrs. Li put her silver.
Mrs. Li never hid it from her, but she didn't have any vigilance, so she told Mei Changan.
Even, Mei Xiaotong in the past was provoked by Mei Changan, took out the keys of Mrs. Li, and showed off to Mei Changan!
This idiot! It's so stupid that I can't bear to look at it directly!
Mei Xiaotong almost wanted to slap the former Mei Xiaotong to death!
The sins created by the original body are now their turn to pay back!
Mei Xiaotong swallowed her saliva, didn't dare to look at Mrs. Li's face, and first gathered all the things that were thrown on the ground and put them in the box.
Only then did she hold Mrs. Li's hand, "Mother-"
This sentence woke up Mrs. Li, who was there with Mu Mu's flute.
Mrs. Li blinked her eyes, and then she eased up, and tears came out at once, and while hammering her chest, she scolded, "What kind of sin have I created!" Give birth to such an unethical king and eight lambs! This brute, this is going to force our family to die! This brute, why is his heart so ruthless! Even my father and mother are going to die! Where is this son, this is a debt collector, specially here to collect debts! β
Such a big movement alarmed Wen and Tianlong.
The two hurriedly ran outside the house, not daring to go in, and asked cautiously, "Mother, little sister, what's wrong?" β
Mei Xiaotong opened the door and motioned for them to enter.
Mrs. Li was still sitting on the kang and crying and scolding.
After listening for a while, Wen and Tianlong understood clearly that this was scolding Mei Changan.
Wen hesitated for a moment, but still persuaded, "Mother, you dissipate your anger, second brother, he-"
"Phew! What kind of second brother is he? He's a brute! Kill all the brutes of our family, white-eyed wolves! I want to know that today, when I was born, I should have strangled him to death, and it is better than harming our family today......"
Wen was smacked in the face and had to retreat.
Tianlong looked at Mei Xiaotong, "Auntie, what's wrong?" β
Could it be that he knew that the second uncle used quacks to harm his father, so he scolded? Thinking so, Tianlong couldn't help but feel a kind of emotion, milk
Or do you care about your father, no, I heard that the second uncle hurt my father, so he was so angry?
Mei Xiaotong sighed, "The second brother took advantage of the last time he came back and slept in the upper house with his father, and took away all the title deeds and silver from the family!" β
"What?" Wen and Tianlong spoke in unison.
It's unbelievable!
"That'...... So what to do? "Wen's and Tianlong's legs are weak.
Title deeds! That's the roots of the Mei family!
If they were all taken away by the second uncle, then, what should everyone do?
All of them were hit with a blank in their minds.
No one ever thought that one day the Mei family would have no land, what should they do? How should this big family live?
Mei Xiaotong only felt that there were more bad things in the past few days than in the past 20 years in her previous life.
The title deed is gone, and the silver is gone, all of which are related to their predecessors, and the sins created by their predecessors! What can I do?
Take a deep breath
In one breath, "Third sister-in-law, Tianlong, you go out first, I advise your milk!" β
Wen and Tianlong walked out in a reluctantly reluctant.
Waiting for Wen and Tianlong to go out, Mei Xiaotong gritted her teeth and knelt in front of Mrs. Li.
"Mother, it's all my fault! It's me, I used to be ignorant, and I was deceived by the second brother in a few words to tell you the location of the mother in the title deed, and it was me again, who was so excited by him that I stole the key to my mother's body and showed it off in front of him! It's all my fault, if it weren't for me, he wouldn't have succeeded so smoothly! It was my fault! Mother, you beat me up, and I was angry-" In the end, Mei Xiaotong also choked up.
She is really sad and afraid, will Mrs. Li hate herself after hearing this? Will you be disgusted with yourself from now on? Will......
She didn't dare to think about it, she just lowered her head, and two tears fell in front of her.
There was a dead silence in the room, so quiet that you could hear the sound of your own heartbeat and the panting of Mrs. Li......
I don't know how long it took, maybe for a long time, maybe in an instant, a pair of trembling hands touched the top of Mei Xiaotong's head.
"You stupid girl, didn't my mother tell you a long time ago, don't tell the second child that brute stupidly? Why don't you listen? Oops, don't cry, don't cry! Mother doesn't blame you! You are your mother's good girl, and you are your mother's heart! Why don't you blame you! It's all the second child, the brute who kills a thousand knives is not good! He just bullied you honestly, and he didn't have a heart, so he deliberately coaxed you! Can you have a snack in the future? Alright, alright, get up! How hard is this ground, what should I do if I kneel and break my legs? You're going to feel sorry for your mother-"
Mrs. Li didn't pull Mei Xiaotong up, she was so angry that she slapped her twice, and she didn't dare to make it bigger, it was the same as shooting ashes.
Mei Xiaotong choked up, "It's all my fault!" If it weren't for me, I wouldn't have been succeeded by my second brotherβ"
"He's not your second brother! He's an inhuman bastard! Don't cry, little ancestor-" Mrs. Li was going to scold Mei Chang'an for a few sentences, but when she saw the old girl's tears falling down one by one, she was suddenly distressed.
"Mother-" Mei Xiaotong was so heartbroken by Mrs. Li's little ancestor shouts that she couldn't touch the ground.
Mrs. Li finally coaxed her daughter not to cry, and then whispered, "You don't have to say anything about this except your mother, you know?" You can't say it in front of your father! Did you hear me clearly? β
"Butβ" Mei Xiaotong didn't feel good.
"No, but! Listen to my mother! You have rotten this thing in your heart for the rest of your life, and no one can talk about it! Otherwise, how will you live in this home in the future? My mother won't hurt you, listen to my mother! Rotten to the heart! Mrs. Li was concerned about her old daughter, and she quickly regained her senses and admonished.
"Well, mother, I listen to you! No one tells! Mei Xiaotong nodded and wiped a handful of tears.
Then he stood up, "Mother, don't worry, although I don't tell anyone about this, I must think of something to get this title deed back!" Even if I can't get it back, I'm trying to earn money and buy more land than before
Come back! I won't let my mother suffer! This is the firmest thought in Mei Xiaotong's heart at this moment.
For the sake of Mrs. Li, she also has to work hard to earn money! Make up for what the Mei family lost because of their predecessors.
Mrs. Li nodded: "Mother, believe you!" β
Although she was distressed when she lost the title deed, seeing her daughter so sensible, Mrs. Li also felt that her heart was not so painful.
The mother and daughter comforted each other for a while before getting down to business.
"The money in this house is gone, so what about the medical expenses?" Mrs. Li was worried.
"Mother, where do I still have ten taels of silver, first cover two days' medical expenses, and wait for me and the fourth brother to find the second brother to see if we can get the deed and silver back." Mei Xiaotong immediately contributed her private money.
Mrs. Li didn't want to take it, but the family was like this, waiting for the silver to be used, hesitated for a moment, and nodded, "This silver is still borrowed from your mother, and you will be repaid when the time comes!" β
Since Mei Xiaotong took it out, she didn't plan to go back, "Even if this money is the money I paid to my family, I don't have the face to ask for it again!" β
The old lady said this, her attitude was so resolute, and Mrs. Li didn't push her around.
When the time comes, just keep it for the old girl.
The silver matter is settled for the time being, and the rest of the matter is easy to say.
Mrs. Li and Mei Xiaotong cleaned up the house, and then groped for a long time from the kang horn and found two silver horns, about one or two.
Mei Xiaotong is stupid, is this Mrs. Li's private money?
Mrs. Li looked at the old girl stupidly, and couldn't help but teach her experience, "What are you looking at stupidly?" Which of our women's families doesn't save some private money? No, when you encounter such a time, who will you ask to go? Mother told you, women, they are born to save private money, and they can't let men know! Don't be stupid, you can steal and save too much at one time, otherwise it will be easy to be discovered. If you get married in the future, you must grab the family's money and food, you know? As long as there is money in your hand, every time you secretly leave a penny or two. After a long time, when they had saved enough, they secretly exchanged it for silver, which took up a small space and was easy to hide. Don't be like that idiot of the Zhou family, save such a jar of copper coins, the target is big, and it is easy to find! Did you know? β
It's all a matter of experience.
Mei Xiaotong nodded in amazement: "Got it!" β
"Also, when this private money is saved, don't be stupid and put it in one place, otherwise it will be found out and served in one pot! Hide a few more places, and even if you find one, you can keep the others. After saving, don't worry about it every day, touch it every day, after a long time, where is there anything that is not exposed! After you hide it, don't think about it, just don't hide it, so there is less chance of being discovered! "Mrs. Li has taught her all her life's experience in hiding private money.
