Chapter Seventy-Four: Stealing Money
"Xiuxiu, don't cry, don't you have a clue now, you'll find your parents, don't cry."
In the house, Yan Weimin hugged Zheng Xiuxiu and kept patting her on the back to comfort her.
If it hadn't been for Granny Xue today, he wouldn't have known that Xiuxiu's family was so simple, no wonder she never mentioned her family.
"For the people, I feel uncomfortable, I'm afraid of my parents, my brother... Woooooooo ”
Zheng Xiuxiu leaned on Yan Weimin's arms, tears fell like rain, and the grievances and worries that she had hidden on weekdays broke out together, her heart was crumbled, and she didn't know what to do.
After so many years, her parents and eldest brother still haven't heard from her, she can't contact them, and they probably don't know where she is, every time she misses home and thinks about her family, she can only be in a daze, silently comforting herself, there will be a day of reunion.
But today, the good things she hid were suddenly pointed out by Granny Xue, how could she not panic. She has never told anyone else about her life experience, Jian Dalin doesn't know, Yan Weimin doesn't know, and even her daughter Xingxing never said it.
But Granny Xue not only knew that she and her family were separated, but even said that her parents were not in good health now and were dying, so how could she not feel uncomfortable.
She didn't believe it, but she was too accurate for her to disbelieve. Thinking about how old her parents are, she doesn't know if she has been doing well in the past few years, and if she is tortured for a few years, it is not impossible that her health is not good.
In the past few years, she has seen too many skinny people who have been tortured and finally committed suicide in despair. She couldn't imagine what she would do if something happened to her parents and brother like that, and would she ever have a chance to see them again?
Will they be able to reunite as a family?
"No, no, don't scare yourself, didn't Granny Xue say that the eldest brother is with his parents, maybe he just had a little illness, and he will get better soon. When we find them, will we take you to meet them right away? ”
Yan Weimin was distressed, hugged her and kept comforting, and said all the good things, but Zheng Xiuxiu still couldn't slow down, and kept immersed in sadness.
Over the years, she never dared to assume the possibility of an accident with her parents and eldest brother, and has been comforting herself and forcing herself to forget these bad possibilities. Even if she can't be reunited, as long as she can live well, she is satisfied.
But now that Granny Snow has torn apart this illusion, she can't hold it anymore, her tears are bursting, and her emotions are broken. She was afraid, afraid to say goodbye to her family like this.
Even though she is almost thirty years old and is not the little girl she was back then, she still wants to be a little girl in the eyes of her family.
"It's too late."
"It's too late, let's go and ask Granny Xue to let her calculate something specific for us, don't you know that your parents are in the northwest direction, let's let her calculate carefully, we will give us as much as we want!"
Strict for the people.
In order to make Zheng Xiuxiu happy, spending some money is nothing.
It is precisely because of this kind of psychology that there is a market for a goddess like Granny Xue.
Zheng Xiuxiu was tired of crying, so she fell asleep, Yan Weimin put her away, and took a dime to Granny Xue's side first, he planned to ask carefully to see what kind of conditions Granny Xue would offer. Now, I can't believe it or not, so I have the right to try.
On the other side, Yan Weimin had just gone out on the front foot, and Jian Xingxing's four back feet sneakily ran home, and Jian Xingxing took the lead.
"Mom?"
She shouted softly, and then tiptoed open Zheng Xiuxiu's door. Zheng Xiuxiu was lying frontally, her red and swollen eyes were closed, she seemed to be tired and sad, her brows were still frowning in her sleep, and there was sadness between her eyebrows.
Her fine eyelashes hung down, like a sleeping beauty, and her face was pale and soft.
Jian Xingxing didn't dare to touch Zheng Xiuxiu, for fear of waking her up, but she was also depressed in her heart, she had never seen such a sad Zheng Xiuxiu. Even in her memory, she was bullied by Jian Dalin, her eyes were still burning with fire, soft and tenacious, but now she is like a duckweed that has lost her roots, and her soul has nowhere to put it.
She didn't want her mother to be so upset.
Influenced by Zheng Xiuxiu, Jian Xingxing's mood was also very lost, but she still remembered the business, she tiptoed, quietly walked out, and nodded towards Yan Xing in the courtyard.
Yan Xing knew that Zheng Xiuxiu was asleep at this time, and he could act now.
Yan Xing also rarely bent over slightly, his hands and feet were put to the lightest, he walked in silently like a cat, and then opened the small cabinet at the bottom of the large wardrobe. He turned his movements to the lightest, but he still couldn't stop making a little noise.
The wooden cabinet looks like this, and it is difficult to make it sound at all, especially since this cabinet is also a little old.
Yan Xing and Jian Xingxing looked at Zheng Xiuxiu on the bed together, but fortunately, she didn't react and was still asleep, so the two of them breathed a sigh of relief. Yan Xing gently pulled open a movable board, revealing a thick wad of money inside, at least two or three hundred yuan.
He didn't count, he took out all the money directly and put it in Jian Xingxing's pocket, Jian Xingxing thought that this was all the belongings of the family, she was about to leave, but Yan Xing pulled the corner of her clothes, he shook his head, and said in a breathy voice.
"And."
And also? Isn't it empty inside?
Jian Xingxing tilted her head cutely and frowned in confusion.
Yan Xing didn't see the gold ring that Jian Xingxing found last time, so he knew that the valuable things in the house were not put in one place. And the personality of his parents doesn't look like people who will put all their belongings together, not to mention the three holes of the cunning rabbit, at least they will be placed in two places.
He gently put the cabinet back to its original state, then stood up and looked around the room.
He had never been in this room before, and he knew it well, and he knew his father's habit of hiding things. So it only took him ten seconds to lock on to another location where the money was hidden, at the foot of the bed.
Yan Xing seemed to notice a difference in the adobe bricks, he took the key and scratched the inside of the brick joint, and quickly pried out the somewhat loose adobe brick.
As soon as the adobe brick was taken away, a small hole was revealed inside, and an iron box was placed in the hole, and there was no need to guess that it must be something valuable, otherwise it would not be hidden so tightly.
He even took out the box one piece, then put the adobe bricks back, and then simply disguised it, and hurriedly fled the scene of the crime with Jian Xingxing.
Anyway, as long as his parents want to take the money, they will know that the money is gone, and they can't escape by trying to restore it to the original state, so he simply doesn't bother to be here.
The two of them did something bad, and then fled at the speed of light, forgetting to close the door for Jung so-so.
"How's it going, did you get it?"
As soon as the two came out, Yan Nan and Yan Sheng greeted them.
"It seems that I got it, but the box is a bit big, how to hide it, can you not want this box."
Yan Nan's gaze moved to the box in Yan Xing's hand, and he was a little nerve-wracked. He just thought of a good place to hide the money, to make sure his parents couldn't find it, but the location was very small.
"No, it must be put in a box, in case it is hidden in a corner and bitten by rats, then the money will be useless."
