Chapter 023: Secretly Hide
"Auntie, you pay back the money first, and we'll talk about it later."
Xiaoxiao interrupted their purpose, and continued: "As for you helping to deal with my parents' funeral, and I spent money on recuperating from injuries and medical treatment in the Li family, I don't dare to ask for five hundred yuan, you just need to pay me back three hundred yuan." ”
After all, if there is no Li family, she may not be able to stand here properly, the uncle of the Li family is a very good old man, except for the fact that he wants Xiaoxiao to marry instead of Xiaofang, he may not even know that his aunt has swallowed her parents' compensation in private, otherwise he would never have mentioned it to her.
Zhou Cuihua nodded immediately, the money spent on the aftermath and Xiaoxiao's recuperation only cost fifty yuan, and Xiaoxiao only took three hundred to count this girl has a conscience.
Seeing that the discussion was good, Chen Ying asked Tian Guixiang to withdraw the money and settle the matter today.
Tian Guixiang reluctantly went to the backyard and took out the three or five hundred yuan that she had never dared to spend, originally thought that it was to be reserved for her son to marry a daughter-in-law in the future, but now she was found and could only take it out.
Xiaoxiao received the money, and she was not happy in her heart, this is the compensation of the original owner's parents, she was an orphan in her previous life, and she was reborn here, if this money can change her parents' lives, she would rather not have this money.
Li Dahai hurriedly took out the money in his pocket as well.
It's just that he took more than 400 quick money.
said to Xiaoxiao: "In addition to your parents' funeral affairs and the money for you to treat your injuries, there are more than 400 yuan left here, I have never agreed to take this money, and it is good to return it to you now, it can also make me feel at ease."
"Uncle, I'll only take three hundred."
Li Dahai insisted, "As much as you should, if you still treat us as relatives, don't care, you should help deal with your parents' funeral." ”
The two families are relatives, and now Xiaoxiao is an orphan girl, how can she bully a child without parents, before he disagreed with his wife and Tian Guixiang's decision to divide the money, but his wife kept making trouble, so he followed her.
This time, they came to ask Xiaoxiao to marry instead of Xiaofang, and they were prepared, if Xiaoxiao refused to return the money to her, so the money was brought.
Xiaoxiao didn't shirk anymore and accepted the money.
"Xiaoxiao, save this money well, as for the address of the Zhou family's old house, you wait for me to write a note to you."
After speaking, he borrowed paper and pen from the next door of the Zhou family to write down the address, and also typed a certificate and handed it to Xiaoxiao.
"Thank you, Auntie, it's good that you came over to help me today."
"Silly boy, as it should be." Chen Ying saw that the matter was dealt with, so she let everyone disperse, and everyone should go back to cook at noon.
Xiaoxiao said very gratefully, "Thank you, Auntie, I want to invite you to dinner at noon."
Chen Ying shook her head, "Good boy, next time, I still have something over there, if you have any difficulties, remember to go to the street office to find me." And you go to the old house, look at the house, and then go to me to go to the house transfer procedures, and the house will be yours in the future, broken but there is a place to live. ”
Although the house over there is dilapidated, fortunately, there is still a lot of land for Xiaoxiao, and she has to rush back to deal with things, so she can only have dinner with Xiaoxiao next time.
Xiaoxiao nodded and thanked her and watched her leave.
Xiaoxiao said to Tian Guixiang: "The house is for you, and I don't want my family's previous daily necessities, I just want to get back my own things."
The family is not a wealthy family, and there should be no valuables around her parents, she just wants to get back what she used to use herself.
Tian Guixiang was immediately unhappy: "What do you have in your house, even if you have it, it's worthless, what are you going to do with it." Besides, your own things are in the school dormitory, and you don't have anything at home, just a few sets of clothes, I think it's small and throw it away, but it's a pity to give it to the eldest sister and the second sister to wear. ”
Lying is not a draft at all, the truth is similar, that is, some pots and pans are worth a little, and the others are really nothing, the sister-in-law's several sets of clothes were divided between her and the second sister, and the second brother's clothes were given to his own man, and there was really nothing else left.
Zhou Youkang, who was next to her, pulled down his face and scolded her: "What are you talking about!" Xiaoxiao, you really don't have many things at home, just some ordinary supplies, and the clothes were taken away by them, but there is a box, I think it should be something important for your parents to lock up, and they dare not touch it, so I will take it for you. ”
The little box had been secretly hidden by him, and now it was time to return it.
Not long after, Zhou Youkang took out a wooden box from a utility room.
The old-fashioned camphor wood box, about 60 meters long and about 40 meters wide, has carvings on it, very much like the wooden box used when people got married in the past, the box is not very valuable, the box is just locked, the lock is good, it can be seen that Zhou Youkang has never opened it, and it is estimated that there is no key to open it.
Tian Guixiang was immediately dumbfounded, she didn't know when her man hid such a box, no wonder when she sorted out the relics of her eldest brother and sister-in-law before, there was nothing valuable, and her feelings were all packed in this box, and she was secretly hidden by her own man, standing in the distance and stomping her feet in annoyance.
Zhou Youkang carried the box to Xiaoxiao.
"I hid this box and planned to give it to you when you come back, there is a lock on it, I don't have a key and I haven't opened it, and now it's just right for you."
Xiaoxiao took it, mentioning that there was some weight in his hand, knowing that it was filled with something, otherwise it would not be so heavy.
"Thank you, uncle."
"Thank you, I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for my brother, this will always be your home, and I will come back often in the future." 's heart is sour, his eldest brother is such a daughter, but his old ladies don't take it in, and they occupy other people's houses, but fortunately, she is good now, and it is good if she has money in her hand to tidy up the old house over there.
"I know ......"
Originally, I still had a grudge against this man, but now I have a little less, and it is not easy to know that his family is not easy, I have raised five children, and I worry about food and clothing every day.
"By the way, school will start in three days, so if you want to continue going to school, go there." Zhou Youkang did not forget to remind.
It's a pity that my niece was admitted to such a good school and didn't continue to study.
"What's the use of a girl reading so many books, it's better to get married early!" Tian Guixiang said coldly beside him.
The money was taken away, and even the valuables were returned to others, and she was very angry at this time, and the words she said were not good.
Xiaoxiao nodded and said: "I will continue to go to school, the times are different, men and women are the same, women can also hold up half the sky, auntie, don't forget that you are also a woman!"
The last sentence was full of sarcasm, a person who even forgot that he was a woman, has such a deep concept of patriarchy, fortunately, he will not deal with her again in the future.
Walking out of the courtyard of the Zhou family, Zhou Cuihua couldn't wait to pull Xiaoxiao aside, "Xiaoxiao, you are marrying someone instead of Xiaofang-"
