peasant girl

Chapter 66 Who is more important, money or people (2 more

Zhao was very frightened.

Now that the money is gone, what should she do?
I was running around in a hurry in the yard.

After the three sisters took a bath, they went to the creek to wash clothes together. The door of their house was left open and unlocked.

Mrs. Zhao changed her mind, saw no one was around, and quickly entered the room.

Looking around, I found a money bag in the corner of the cabinet.

Looking at the money bag, Zhao's eyes lit up, and he took the money bag with trembling hands and ran out of the house.

Back in his room, poured out the money, mixed it with his own money, held the money bag tightly and went to the kitchen, threw the money bag into the stove hole, quickly grabbed dry pine branches, lit it and threw it in, and added a lot more quickly, Watching the money bag turn into ashes, he was slightly relieved.

A little numb put dry firewood inside, leaning against the wall, staring blankly at the fire burning in the stove hole, Mrs. Zhao didn't know what was wrong with her, didn't know what was wrong with herself?
He closed his eyes heavily.

When Mrs. Lu came in, she saw that there was no water in the pot, so Mrs. Zhao leaned against the wall with her eyes closed, looking uncomfortable.

"Wen Niang, what's the matter with you?" Shi Lu asked.

"what……"

Zhao was taken aback.

He stammered and shouted, "Mom!"

"What's wrong with you? There's no water in the pot after it's on fire!" Shi Lu said, pouring water into the pot, making a harsh hissing sound.

Lu cursed secretly in her heart, but she still asked with concern on her face, "Wen Niang, what happened to you? But those three children made you angry again?"

Upon hearing that there were three children, Mrs. Zhao trembled in fright.

"No, no!" Mrs. Zhao said, exhaling deeply.

Get up in a hurry, ready to cook.

But almost fell.

Although Lu Shi was puzzled, but this day, the kitchen was very hot, and she didn't want to stay there, so she didn't think much, "Then you cook dinner, I'll go and see if your father is back!"

It's really hot today.

The rice will be harvested soon, and Zongbao and Mingguang will be back at the end of the month. She has to go and see how many eggs, rice, and money are in the house.

This is to give money to the two children. Next month, one will be admitted as a child student, and the other will be admitted as a scholar. There is no shortage of money, so they must be able to study with peace of mind.

But now...

It's the end of the month, so I have to coax Erlang into giving him more money.

Three taels of money a month is all he earns, and now he earns at least ten taels a month, if he can give her eight or nine taels, then Zong Bao and Ming Guang will have the money to study.

But you still have to coax Mrs. Zhao!

Zhu Xiao, Zhu Hua'er, and Zhu Zhaodi came back after washing their clothes. Zhu Xiao felt thirsty, went to pour water, pulled a chair and sat in the yard to drink slowly, leisurely and comfortable.

Zhu Zhaodi was drying clothes in the yard, and Zhu Huaer hopped into the house, humming a little tune, habitually opened the cabinet, looked at the purse containing the money, and kissed it.

"Huh?" Zhu Hua'er looked at the empty corner.

His eyes widened in shock.

I searched quickly again, rummaging through all the folded clothes, but couldn't find the money bag.

"Second Sister..." Zhu Hua'er called out.

Running to the door, eyes were red, "Second Sister, Second Sister, did you take the purse away?"

"..."

"..."

Zhu Xiao and Zhu Zhaodi looked at Zhu Hua'er upon hearing the sound.

"Hua'er, what are you talking about?" Zhu Zhaodi asked impatiently.

He also looked at Zhu Xiao carefully.

Zhu Xiao's hand holding the teacup froze slightly, his mind turned slightly, but he understood.

Their house was burglarized.

A few days ago, Hua'er and Zhaodi had been in the house. When she went out today, she didn't bring any money, but the cabinet was locked, the door was closed and marked, so when she came back, the money bag was still there.

I went out to wash clothes just now, because Hua'er opened the cabinet to look, but it was not locked.

How long does it take before the money is gone.

Who is this thief?
Zhu Xiao was afraid that Zhu Hua'er would be sad, so she smiled slightly, "Yes, I put it away!"

"..."

Zhu Huaer blinked, approached Zhu Xiao, hugged her neck, "Second Sister, I want to see, can you show me?"

"Not now, I'll hug you to sleep at night, okay?" Zhu Xiao said softly.

"okay!"

Zhu Huaer was very happy.

Zhu Zhaodi also smiled, but the smile gradually disappeared.

She is not a flower and knows nothing.

Earlier, she clearly remembered that the money bag was put by Hua'er, when going out, Xiao Xiao walked in front and Hua'er walked in the last, but Zhu Xiao has never entered the house until now.

"Ah..." Zhu Zhaodi exclaimed. '

"Sister, what's wrong with you?" Zhu Hua'er asked.

Zhu Xiao also looked at Zhaodi.

"No, nothing!" Zhu Zhaodi hurriedly looked away, not daring to look at Hua'er.

Money, money was stolen.

Xiaoxiao can tell from Hua'er's voice, and she tells a lie to appease Hua'er.

But who stole the money?
Is it mother?Or grandma?
In this family, Zhu Zhaodi suspected the two most.

But they dare not tell Zhu Xiao, let alone in front of Hua'er.

She knew that Hua'er wished to be rich, and counted the money several times a day, wishing she could hug her to sleep.

Zhu Xiao naturally also doubted.

But doubts are not important at the moment, what is important is where to get five hundred and three Wen to appease Hua'er's heart.

Handed the rough teacup to Zhu Zhaodi, "I'll go out for a while!"

"Little!"

Zhu Zhaodi made a soft sound.

"It's okay, I'll be back soon!" Zhu finished the novel and walked out the back door.

Zhu Zhaodi chased after a few steps with the teacup in her hand, and suddenly stood where she was.

Looking at Zhao's closed door, for a moment, he understood everything.

"Sister, what's wrong with you?" Zhu Hua'er called softly.

Zhu Zhaodi tried her best to see the teacup slamming against the door, only to hear a click, the teacup smashed against the door, fell to the ground, and shattered into slag.

"Sister, what's wrong with you?" Zhu Hua'er asked softly.

Zhu Zhaodi raised her hand and gently stroked Zhu Hua'er's head, "Hua'er, let me ask you, is money or your second sister important?"

"Of course it's the second sister!"

Zhu Hua'er looked at Zhu Zhaodi puzzled.

"Then let me tell you, your second sister didn't take our money and hide it, but someone stole it, you..."

"..." Zhu Hua'er turned pale when she heard this.

Astonished, shocked.

It took a while to run out.

Zhu Zhaodi hurriedly followed and went forward to hold her back, "Hua'er, let's follow quietly and see what your second sister is going to do? How difficult it is for her!"

How miserable it used to be, but because of the smallness, everything is better.

Eat well, dress warmly, and have money.

Now that the money has been stolen by thieves, Xiao Xiao still wants to comfort Hua'er's heart.

She knew how much Hua'er valued money.

But they forgot that what they value most is not money, but that all three sisters are doing well and working together to earn money.

Zhu Hua'er wanted to cry, but she didn't dare to cry.

She wanted to catch the second sister and tell the second sister that she was no longer greedy for money, and she didn't want money.

Zhu Xiao went out of the house and stood at the intersection but didn't know where he was going?

The only people she knew were Zhu Mantang, Zhu Fugui, and Qiao Yuan who opened the shop.

When I went to return the wine jar that day, Qiao Yuan talked to her for a while, she went to borrow money rashly today, would Qiao Yuan borrow it?
