Chapter 13: The Eve of Separation

Zhu Juan suspected that the old man would not only have 3,000 yuan in his hand, if he only had these, he would not take them out so happily, so he would have to borrow some from relatives and friends.

Meng Hongtu looked at the location of the middle room with a secret look in his eyes, shook his head, and then said, "I don't know, when our father took the money, he blocked the cabinet, and I couldn't see anything else inside." ”

Hearing Meng Hongtu say this, the look in Zhu Juan's eyes became even hotter, if the old couple didn't have other money, how could they stand in the way.

Thinking of this, he opened his mouth and said, "Hongtu, we can't be stupid, our son's expenses are now counted on our small family, but the girl of the second family has now taken the bright road, and this alone has cost an extra 3,000 yuan, don't you forget, Hongyuan has not separated until now, isn't that just to use the money of the public middle school to help them raise their children, if we wait any longer, it will be a big loss." ”

A child's expenses are not big, and they don't laugh when they say they are small, and Zhu Juan is rarely shrewd about the word 'money'.

Hearing her say this, Meng Hongtu also moved his own careful thoughts, and he was also very moved to see the three thousand yuan.

Three thousand yuan can buy a small mansion on their farm, which is not a small amount.

And the most important thing is that the 3,000 yuan is equivalent to the money that the old couple gave to the second family, but when he split up at that time, he didn't see any money at all.

If you let this matter go through it now, it will be difficult to get money in the future.

And if the old couple still has money in their hands, when the time comes, Hongyuan will split up, who knows if the old couple will secretly give them a little more, if they are still stupid and don't say anything, this loss will be big.

Thinking of this, the couple glanced at each other, and the little abacus in their hearts was very clear.

The old man went with the money in a timely manner, so the Meng family's grandmother's butt was taken out before it was hot, and when she saw the worried looks of the old man and her daughter, she pursed her lips and smiled, meaning that she was fine.

The three men walked down the road with heavy steps, and no one spoke.

The old couple knew very well that the 3,000 yuan was almost all of their savings, and they all paid it out at once, and most of the family funds leaked out, and no one felt comfortable.

After arriving at the old mansion, I saw that the two sons were staying in the yard with their heads down, and Zhu Juan was feeding the children in the hall.

Meng Hongling knew that there would definitely be something big going on next, so she simply went straight into her room and didn't come out again.

After seeing Mrs. Meng come back, Meng Hongtu moved his lips and asked, "Mother, are you okay?" ”

Seeing the hesitant look on the eldest son's face, Mrs. Meng knew that something must be wrong, otherwise it would be so late, Meng Rui was so sleepy that she yawned, why didn't the eldest daughter-in-law take the child back to sleep.

"It's fine." The old lady spoke in a deep voice.

There was silence in the house, but Zhu Juan couldn't bear it anymore, and opened her mouth to say, "Mother, how can you and your father have so much money?" ”

This sentence is a point, Meng Hongtu and the brothers didn't expect that the old couple would have such a huge sum of money in their hands, if it wasn't for this accident, I don't know how long these two people would have to hide it.

Hearing the eldest daughter-in-law ask this, Mrs. Meng knew what she had in mind.

said unceremoniously, "What, do I still need to discuss the matter with your father?" ”

One of her daughters-in-law is inevitably too lenient, and it seems that it is really Meng Rui's birth, which makes her more and more presumptuous.

Hearing her mother-in-law's reprimand, Zhu Juan glanced at Meng Hongtu's face, couldn't see anything, and was just about to open her mouth to refute when she heard Meng Hongtu say, "Mom, Xiaojuan, she didn't mean that, but they are all a family, and some things have to be explained clearly." ”

Hearing her eldest son say this, the old lady snorted coldly, on the way back just now, she guessed that the matter of the three thousand yuan would not be easily revealed, and sure enough, now they all have their own ideas.

"So tell me how you want to make it clear?"

Mrs. Meng sat on the stool, looking at her son and daughter-in-law in front of her with sharp eyes.

Meng Hongtu saw the old lady's eyes, and subconsciously felt a little cowardly, but when he thought of money, he felt a little confident in his heart.

"Mother, in the final analysis, the three thousand yuan was spent because of the second family, right?"

Hearing Meng Hongtu say this, Meng Hongyuan was immediately unhappy, if it weren't for Meng Yujie's hukou, how could their family be fined.

But Meng Hongtu had already thought of the corresponding countermeasures, and continued to speak, "I know that the second child didn't get the birth permit because of Xiaojie's hukou, but when he moved the hukou, the younger siblings hadn't passed the door yet, so the second child knew that he couldn't get the birth permit, and he insisted on having a child, so it can't be all blamed on our family." ”

Hearing Meng Hongtu's clever words, Meng Hongyuan's eyes widened, you can't say that, if it is according to the boss, then he will have to wait until he is thirty years old to have a child, isn't this nonsense?

And when I moved my hukou, I made it very clear that as long as Meng Rui was born, Meng Yujie's hukou would move back immediately.

Meng Hongyuan was just about to open his mouth to refute, but was directly interrupted by the old lady.

"You go on."

Meng Hongtu glanced at his mother's face that was not good-looking at the moment, if it was normally, he would not dare to speak more, but at this time he still said the rest of the words, "So, mother, these three thousand yuan is equivalent to what you and your father paid for Hongyuan, but when I broke up, I didn't get so much money." ”

Meng Hongtu finished saying all the words, in fact, it was nothing more than one meaning, wanting money.

The old lady knows this, and the old man knows it too.

"Hongyuan hasn't split up yet, and this money is supposed to be out of the public, do you think what my father and I are doing now is unfair?"

The old lady's expression seemed to be smiling, which immediately made the back of Meng Hongtu's head tighten.

But Zhu Juan couldn't manage so much, "Mother, it's not that you and your father are biased, but the three thousand yuan is indeed not a small amount, and my younger siblings and I are children born almost at the same time, why can her children be raised in the public, Rui Rui has to be raised by ourselves." ”

When the old lady heard this, she only felt exhausted, and there would be no quarrels in the family if she was too poor or too rich, but if she was in the middle, there would be many quarrels among the brothers.

"Then you and your daughter-in-law mean that you want to separate Hongyuan alone, right?"

Meng Hongtu didn't just mean this, he also wanted to take advantage of this split to ask for money.

But Meng Hongyuan didn't agree, he and his daughter-in-law hadn't had a wedding yet, and according to the customs of the village, they shouldn't be separated.

"Mother, according to the customs of the village, Xiaoyan and I haven't had a wedding yet, so why should we split up."
