Chapter 496: Life-saving money

He touched the money and put it on his chest. It's like touching the root of life, crying, crying, sometimes reaching out to slap yourself and scold yourself.

"Blind, blind, you're not alone! What kind of money is this? This is your wife's money to marry.

Blind, blind, my wife who has been with you for more than ten years, and I have followed others for you, are you still a person!"

Ma Tong cried, and after crying enough, he carefully put the money back on the plaque again.

He was reluctant to eat or wear at home every day, and he would touch the money every day, and then hugged him and cried bitterly.

After a long time, Ma Tong's behavior was discovered by others.

At first, the person who discovered Ma Tong's secrets was a child in the village.

The child lived in the east end of the village and had to walk to the westernmost part of the village every day to go to school.

The village is very poor, and there is only a small private school in the far west of the village. said that it was a private school, but in fact it was a family surnamed Tian, and the old man surnamed Tian had read books and learned when he was young, and he worked as an abacus master for others in a big city.

He was old and had saved a lot of money all his life to return to the village. But he wanted to do something more, so he taught the children in the village to read and write at a very cheap price.

This master surnamed Tian is not actually to make money, he hopes that these children can get to know each other, be able to study and plan for the club, and have a little ink in their stomachs, so that they can find jobs in the city in the future.

The villagers all know that the master surnamed Tian is a good man, and he receives a very low amount of money every month, and he also provides three meals a day for the students. Therefore, the villagers are very happy to send their children to the school.

Then there was such a child, when he went to school every day, he happened to pass by the door of Ma's house, and saw Ma Tong crying while touching money.

The child thought it was interesting at first, so he kept standing at the door and kept silent, secretly watching.

Ma Tong was originally blind, and he didn't know anyone nearby, so when he put the money on the plaque after crying, he was seen by this child.

When this child was in school, he told his two friends about it.

The other two children were both fifteen or sixteen years old, and several of them knew the importance of money, and they both wanted to get some money, so the three of them discussed privately and decided to take the money away from Ma Tong.

So the three children took advantage of the fact that the horse head was sleeping at night, and they sneaked into the horse's house, and then climbed on top of the plaque and took the silver dollars.

The next day, Ma Tong had nothing to do and boiled himself a bowl of porridge. While drinking porridge, he remembered when he used to live at home with his daughter-in-law.

The daughter-in-law is reluctant to eat or wear by herself, so she gives everything to herself. So the more Ma Tong thought about it, the more distressed he became, and the more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he became.

In the end, he simply didn't eat, and then sneaked up the plaque again, and reached in to get the silver dollars.

But this one is a big touch. Ma Tong found out that there was nothing behind the plaque, his wife got married, and in exchange for such a little life-saving money, someone stole it!

Ma Tong knew that this time he was finished. I simply have nothing, and all the thoughts of my life are gone. The wife is gone, and the money for the wife's marriage is gone. He simply lost his wife and lost his soldiers, and he lost both people and money!

Ma Tong cried and muttered to himself.

"I'm not a thing, I'm not a person, I married my wife to someone else. Someone like me ended up losing the money to marry a wife. People like me don't deserve to live in the world, oh, I might as well die!"

While muttering like this, he finally found a hemp rope, fumbled and hung it on the beam, and then cried while thinking about what his wife had said about him for so many years.

Then he hung himself directly on the beam of the house, and he died with a whimper.

But it was said that the blind man had just died.

The Ma Pozi on the other side had a nightmare overnight, in which she dreamed of her first husband. The blind man kept crying to himself, saying that he missed him so much, that he was so cold, that he didn't know what his wife looked like in his life, so he wanted to come and see him for the last time!

Ma Pozi was awakened by the nightmare and immediately sat up from the bed. Waiting until the next morning, he sent his man Wang Qiang to the mountain. Wang Qiang would go up the mountain to chop wood every day.

After Ma Pozi sent away her man, she was worried all day long, and her soul was not guarded.

But Ma Pozi didn't say anything, she and her husband were at home.

Because that day was the birthday of his man Wang Qiang, Ma Pozi and her husband made a lot of food at home. It's steamed sticky bean buns again, steamed big steamed buns, and I killed a little chicken and stewed a big pot of sauerkraut stewed pork.

Looking at such a sumptuous dish in front of her, Ma Pozi suddenly remembered that when she lived with Ma Tong in the past, the two of them couldn't eat such a good dish even during the New Year.

Thinking of this, Ma Pozi's mood became extremely bad again, and she kept sighing.

The old man saw that his daughter-in-law didn't seem to be very happy, so he asked his daughter-in-law. "What the hell is wrong with you? Is it uncomfortable, is it uncomfortable? Aren't you sick?"

Ma Pozi shook her head again and again, and then knelt on the ground and pleaded with her husband.

"Dad, it's my daughter-in-law, please! It's been half a year since I married into our family. Our family had a good time, but I kept thinking about it, and I didn't know what happened to my ex-husband.

I don't know if he is dead or alive, and I don't know if he is eating well now, whether he is living a good life, whether he is hungry or not.

So Dad, I beg you, I want to go home and see my ex-husband, and I'll go back and see him, and I'll be content to know that he's still alive and he's not freezing or hungry."

When Wang Qiang's father heard this, this old man was also a very kind person. Seeing his daughter-in-law so kind and such a good woman, my husband was also very moved.

"Okay, no problem, just go back to the village and see your ex-husband. Our family has cooked so many meals today, you can bring him a little bit too.

It's just that daughter-in-law, you must remember to take care of yourself, go early and return early, and you must come back that night.
