90s Little Struggle

Chapter 53 See You Again

Xiao Jianhua is suspicious of neighbors now, and he really thinks what she said makes sense, he gritted his teeth and snorted coldly: "I'll go and see tomorrow, if their life is good, then they must have taken it by hand. Take it."

"But my things are not something they can swallow. I will let them spit them out, or I will return both daughters."

Liu Meijuan didn't want him to bring the Xiao sisters back at all.

Since Xiao Hong left home, she felt that the family was her own.

But thinking that the Xiao family sisters are good-looking, and they are about to get married, the dowry money is quite a lot, so she responded: "You are right, I will listen to you."

A cold autumn rain.

The next morning, Xiao Jianhua woke up and found that it was raining outside, but he thought it was a godsend.

Anyway, it was not easy to start construction at home on rainy days, and no one would ask him to deliver the goods. After discussing with Liu Meijuan, he simply drove a tractor to the town, and then took a car to Zha Village.

During the bumpy journey, the couple couldn't help guessing when they thought of the missing gold.

The car arrived at Houzhai Town, and after getting out of the car, they began to inquire about how to get to Zha Village.

When they heard that the ox carts would not go to Zha Village until the afternoon, both of them looked very unhappy.

Xiao Jianhua held an umbrella with a look of disgust on his face: "This shabby place doesn't even have a tractor."

Liu Meijuan felt very happy when she thought that Wu Julan was not doing well, not to mention that the man she remarried was from the mountains, and he was not as handsome as her husband: "As long as she is like that, you can only find people from the mountains?"

He looked around again: "Let's go to a shop to eat something first?"

"That's fine." Xiao Jianhua didn't want to tear himself apart with his ex-wife and two daughters unless it was a last resort, so he hesitated before saying, "Let's go to the supply and marketing agency to buy something first, it wouldn't look good to come home empty-handed."

"You're still thoughtful, and I'll listen to you." Although Liu Meijuan felt sorry for Qian, she never ignored him.

Besides, she also felt in her heart that she had robbed Wu Julan's man, and now she went shopping to show that her family was rich, as if giving them alms.

The two bought a catty of hard fruit candies at the supply and marketing cooperative, and then bought biscuits, bread, etc., and asked which store tasted good.

Coincidentally, the female clerk likes to eat pork head meat, and she enthusiastically recommended it to them: "Go to the Zhaoji dumpling store next to the high school. They not only have boiled dumplings, steamed dumplings, and fried dumplings, but also braised pork head meat and trotters. Braised chicken is delicious."

Xiao Jianhua and the others looked for her in the direction she pointed.

The place is also easy to find, it's just on the side of the main road, and there's only one restaurant here.

When they entered, they could smell the fragrant smell of braised pork, and there were a few people around to buy meat: "The boss weighed a pig's trotter for me."

"Brother Zhao, you haven't sold out the braised chicken yet? Then weigh half a braised chicken for me!"

"Miss Boss, cut me a pig's ear!"

The man who cut the pig's head responded one by one with a good temper: "Okay, it will be ready soon."

Wu Julan, who lowered her head and cut off the pig's ear by the side, weighed it neatly, took the money, and noticed another customer came in, so she raised her head and asked with a smile: "Do you want to buy something..."

After seeing clearly that it was her ex-husband, the smile on her face disappeared instantly: "Why are you here? Is there something wrong?"

Xiao Jianhua didn't pay attention to them at first, but when he smelled the scent, his stomach growled with hunger. He was looking at the price list written on the red paper on the wall, and was about to buy pork head meat. Hearing what she said, he looked over and found that It was his ex-wife, and he was also shocked: "Why are you here?"

Liu Meijuan's first reaction was to ask, "Have you come out to look after the store?"

The man who bought meat next to him laughed when he heard this: "This is the proprietress of the store! Don't you know they have opened a store?"

Both Xiao Jianhua and Liu Meijuan were unwilling to believe the facts before them.

They would rather they were dreaming and not waking up.

I also don't want to see her smiling so happily, as if she is living a very good and stable life.

Xiao Jianhua snorted unconsciously, and began to look at the store carefully.

Although there are only two storefronts, the current buildings are very spacious, and the open back door can be seen from the entrance.

The two small square tables at the front of the store are for lo mei, and there are eight other small square tables, and the room not near the door is divided into a small kitchen.

The windows in the store are bright and clean, which makes people feel comfortable, which also means that the rent is not cheap.

But that shouldn't be something they can do.

My family hadn't lived in the red brick house yet, but they lived in it first, which hit the couple who always thought they were well-off.

At this moment, Xiao Jianhua believed in his heart that his ex-wife stole his family heirloom, and that's why he lived a good life now.

He stared at her fiercely: "Wu Julan, why do you think we are here?"

If it weren't for the concern that there were outsiders around, the words 'give me back the gold' would have blurted out.

Unfortunately, Wu Julan really didn't know what he was thinking.

On the contrary, Xiao Hong, who was lighting the fire in the kitchen, happened to come out to get the hot water bottle. Hearing what he said, he suspected in his heart that they came from bad people, and they might have discovered something.

But the gold didn't have his name written on it either.

If he had done his duty as a father, I wouldn't mind sharing the gold bars with him equally.

She backed away quietly, and whispered to Xiao Fang who was cooking: "Our parents and stepmother are here, you go and let them come in, so as not to delay our mother and the others from doing business."

It wasn't that she ran away, or that she was afraid of Xiao Jianhua and the others.

Instead, he was worried that they would see him and ask him about gold in public in a panic.

If this word is heard by others, it will be spread to hundreds of thousands, and then the second-handers and third-handers from ten miles and eight villages will all come to visit the house.

Then the treasure she hid under the bed might be stolen by someone.

After hearing her words, Xiao Fang was puzzled: "What are they here for?"

Having said that, it is also very worthy and went out to call someone.

"Dad, why are you here, Aunt Liu?" She smiled in surprise: "Sit inside quickly, my sister is cooking, she must be very happy to see you."

Xiao Hong in the kitchen has been listening to them behind the door.

Naturally, I didn't miss what Xiao Fang said, and I felt that if my sister didn't want to be a teacher in the future, she could become an actress.

Otherwise, such a talent for acting would be useless.

Xiao Jianhua always thought in his heart that he was Xiao Hong and Xiao Fang's biological father, even if they were not by his side now, they still had to honor him in the future.

Hearing Xiao Fang's words now, I am also very satisfied: "I have been thinking about you all the time, so I will take a look at it when I have time."

He also felt that Xiao Hong and Xiao Fang were younger and easier to talk, so he followed her in.
