Chapter Sixty-Eight: Patched Clothes in the Box

"The daughter-in-law just wants to tell her father about it, and the daughter-in-law helped Xiaoxi tidy up things today, only to find that the wooden boxes in the mahogany box are all empty, I remember that when my sister-in-law passed away, there were still a few pieces of cloth left to dowry, and even the gold collar and longevity lock sent by the uncle of the Fu family in Bianjing City when their sister and brother were one year old in Xiaoxi are gone!" Wu lowered his head and said everything he saw today.

"What? How can it be! I put those things in that mahogany box myself, how could I just throw them away? Shen Zhixin said incredulously.

"Yes! Lady, you've checked it all out, this is not a trivial matter! Shen Zhilei couldn't help frowning.

Shen Zaishi was indifferent, he glanced at Shen Mengxi deeply, and the little girl's eyes were calm. Shen Zaishi got up and said: "Hearing is false, seeing is believing, is it really as Erlang's daughter-in-law said, wouldn't it be clear if you go and see?" ”

"Official! If it's late today, you don't have to rush to see it! Cui Shi stepped forward and grabbed Shen Zaishi's sleeve in a little hurry.

"As Erlang said, this matter is not trivial, if one day their uncle knows that the dowry of his beloved sister is missing, how will our Shen family explain?" Shen Zaishi withdrew his sleeve and looked at this Cui Shi coldly.

"This ...... Uncle Fu is now an official, will he care about this star? Cui Shi smiled uncomfortably.

"It's one thing for people to not care, our Shen family can't leave such a handle, how will our children and grandchildren see people in the future? Hum! I'll ask you when I've checked it out! As soon as Shen Zaishi flicked his sleeves, he walked towards the west chamber, and all the children and grandchildren followed him out of the upper room.

Cui Shi and Wang Jin stood there with panicked expressions, not knowing whether they should go with them.

"Grandmother, what should I do now?" Wang Jin asked weakly.

"How do I know! It's all Erlang's daughter-in-law who is troublesome! Hum! I shouldn't have changed this room! Alas, I originally wanted to leave you some valuable things to take to the Cui family, and you can live a better life in the future, but now I'm afraid it won't work! Let's think about how to get through today! Cui Shi said and walked towards the west chamber.

Shen Zaishi and the others arrived at the room where Shen Mengxi lives now, Shen Zhilei found an oil lamp and lit it, and after the room could be seen clearly, Shen Zhixin walked straight to the mahogany box, and lifted the lid without saying a word.

The top layer of the box was one of Shen Mengxi's few pieces of clothing, Shen Zhixin opened it and looked at it, almost every one of them was patched. Although their family is not rich, they have good land, and they are Shen in Shidang's private school Mr. Shuxiu, their father and son still have the rice issued by the government, and no matter how poor they are, they still have the companion left by their beloved wife, how did he make his daughter fall to the point of wearing patched clothes?

Shen Zhixin clasped his hands and glanced at the ninety percent of the new clothes worn by Wang Jin standing at the door of the room, he grabbed those clothes and threw them to the ground, "Xiaoxi, don't want those, tomorrow my father will take you to the town to buy new clothes!" Shen Zhixin smiled at Shen Mengxi.

"Uncle, I'm sorry, I sewed and mended these clothes for Xiaoxi, it's really ......" Wu's face was red and she didn't know what to say, could she say that Cui's refused to pay for Shen Mengxi's fabrics to make clothes, and didn't let her use the fabrics from her sister-in-law's marriage to make clothes for Shen Mengxi? Wu stole a look, Cui lowered his head and didn't dare to say anything.

None of the people in this room knew what was going on, but Shen Zhixin and the others dared not speak out because the Cui family was their elder.

"Brother and sister, don't say that, it's not your fault! I saw it all just now, and the patches on Xiaoxi's clothes are very cleverly sewn, and you can't see it at all if you don't look closely! You have a heart, I'm here on behalf of your dead sister-in-law, thank you for taking care of the three of them! Shen Zhixin said and shook his body at the Wu family.
