Chapter 37 37. Lost Money
37. Lost money
If the parents-in-law and mother-in-law knew that their son and daughter-in-law had lent such a large sum of money to Zhao Xiaoling, they would jump up in anger. A new round of insults to Zhao Yulan was inevitable, and they would force her to get the money back. The endless insults and quarrels will continue in the days to come.

Now that Tang Chun took all the faults on him alone, Zhao Xiaoling's pressure would be less.

But it was inevitable that the father-in-law, who had a bad temper and loves money like his life, would scold Tang Chun a lot.

If it was Zhao Xiaoling who lost the money, the father-in-law and mother-in-law would definitely beat Zhao Yulan directly, there is no doubt about this possibility, but for their son, they would curse at most for a few days, they thought it was a fluke.

In comparison, this excuse is considered the lowest risk factor.

In order to prevent the truth from being known by her father-in-law and mother-in-law, Zhao Xiaoling carefully told the three children repeatedly along the way, telling them not to talk about meeting sister Xiaoling, let alone lend them money to buy a house for sister Xiaoling things to tell anyone.

The three children all look like beautiful embryos carved out of the same mold. Dani is 12 years old and is in the sixth grade, Erni is ten years old and is in the fourth grade, Sanni is eight years old and is in the second grade.

Others laughed at Tang Chun for having three daughters and no sons, including his parents who talked about it every day, but Tang Chun loved these three daughters like treasures.

The three girls met Zhao Xiaoling for the first time, and they had a good impression of Xiaoling's sister. She is not only good-looking, but also the best person to them besides their parents.

Sister Xiaoling bought them sweets and beautiful headbands. She spoke softly to them and smiled at them with flattery and endless doting. Of course, they can't betray such a good sister.

My mother said that if I told my grandparents that my parents lent money to Sister Xiaoling, my grandparents would not only beat my mother to death, but also beat Sister Xiaoling to get back the money from Sister Xiaoling. In this way, sister Xiaoling and grandma will have no place to live, and they also hate their grandparents scolding their mother all day, so they should help their parents to hide their grandparents.

And sister Xiaoling told them that that house will be her and her grandmother's home in the future, and it will also be the home of their three sisters. They can live there in the future, how wonderful it is!
They like that house, they live there, and they can go to the department store not long after leaving home. The department store has a lot of beautiful things, but it is good to look at it every day if they don’t buy it.

So no matter what, the three sisters must keep tight-lipped about lending money to sister Xiaoling to buy a house.

Perhaps it was a psychological effect. When Zhao Yulan's family walked into the house, they felt that the atmosphere was not right.

Tang Dasheng was smoking in the yard, his face clouded, Li Xiuying stood there with arms folded and stared at them viciously.

"Chun'er, I heard that the money you earned from building roads was distributed yesterday?"

Tang Chun felt that the storm was coming, so he forced himself to calm down and lowered his head with a "hmm".

"You're really good. With a little money in your pocket, the whole family went to the city to make a fuss. How much did it cost? Give me the rest." Li Xiuying's saliva sprayed on her son's face.

Tang Chun wiped the spittle off his face, and stammered, "I bought cloth for each of the three children to make a suit of clothing, homework books, and some food. The rest of the money was...lost."

"What? Say it again, loudly, where did the money go?" Li Xiuying's voice was stern, and she spit on her son again.

The words have already been uttered, so I can only stick to it, Tang Chun raised his voice and said: "I spent some, and the rest, I lost it, I lost it."

"Just made 200 yuan like this, and then...lost it?" The old woman was furious, and pushed her son.

Tang Dasheng, who was on the side, was also so angry that he paid 200 yuan, and if he said no, he would lose it. This prodigal son, he broke out unexpectedly, and smoked Tang Chun with a pipe, "It's such a large sum of money, if you lose it, you lose it. Is it dead?"

Zhao Xiaoling originally thought that they would not attack her own son. It seems that an outburst is inevitable, and barbaric behavior is not suitable for children. She lowered her head and said to the three children: "Ni'er, you go outside to play."

The three children were obedient and winking and wanted to leave.

The old woman held out her hand to stop her.

"Don't go, I have something to ask you."

The children looked up at their mother, and Zhao Yulan said, "Okay, whatever grandma asks, you just say what you say."

"Sanni, tell me, what did you buy when you arrived in the city?"

"I went to the sewing shop to tear the cloth, made some clothes, bought a notebook, a pen, and bought a few steamed buns. My father said that I lost the rest." Sanni said articulately, and these words were lost on the way back. She has said it countless times, and she has memorized it by heart. Seeing her grandparents getting so angry, the young Sanni also somewhat understands why her parents made them lie.

What the granddaughter said made Li Xiuying sure that the money was really lost, it was gone, 200 yuan!That was a lot of money, and she didn't even touch a penny. She was so distressed that her brain was throbbing, she stomped her feet and patted her thighs, pointed at her son and daughter-in-law and yelled, "Go to the street, I have money in my pocket." A few dollars is enough, why do you put 200 yuan in your pocket? Do you want to spend all the money? You are really a prodigal son. The money sent yesterday should be handed over to me for safekeeping. I didn’t pay, and I went to wander around the streets secretly, I couldn’t hold a penny in my pocket, this time it’s okay, I’m all ruined, prodigal son, prodigal son, both of you are prodigal sons.”

Li Xiuying gritted her teeth in anger and panted heavily.

Tang Li came out from the back room and said, "Brother, during the four months when you and your second sister-in-law went to build roads, my father and mother and I did all the housework and helped you take care of these three children, so don't think that You two earned the money and hid it privately."

The old Tang Li is just a shit-stirring stick. Her words meant something, which completely overturned Tang Chun's statement.

After Li Xiuying heard her daughter's words, she suddenly understood. She grabbed Zhao Yulan's hand, "Did you, a goblin bastard, persuade Chun'er to hide the money? Tell me, where did you hide the money?"

Every time there was a quarrel, Tang Li was able to intensify the conflict in such a way, and Li Xiuying lived up to her expectations and turned Maotou on Zhao Yulan.

Zhao Yulan's hand hurt from being grabbed by the old woman, she instinctively pushed the old woman away, and the old woman was staggered by the push, which added fuel to the fire, she was furious, "Okay! You goblin bitch, how dare you push me away?" Me? I ate a bear heart and leopard guts today!"
