Changping Village, inside the Sanfang Hall.

Mrs. Sun put the tea poured into the Zhang family's wife's hand and said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, the third child and I know what kind of person you are, and so do everyone in our village."

"For such a long time, you have been taking care of my mother-in-law with all your heart and helped us share a lot of burdens. The third child and I, as well as the rest of our third child's family, have seen it all. The third child told me about it two days ago You come, and they said that from next month, I will give you more money, fifty cents more every month, to thank you for serving my mother-in-law so patiently."

The Zhang family woman was holding hot tea and tears were streaming down her face.

When Mrs. Tan pointed her nose at her and scolded her so much that she really wanted to quit her job.

I thought I had a good temper. I had served my mother-in-law for several years and had taken care of her till the end of my life. No matter how much my mother-in-law beat me and scolded me, I persevered and persevered.

I didn't expect that Aunt Tan would be so uncomfortable when she cursed people. It was simply torture.

So when she came to Yang Huazhong's house, in addition to complaining and proving her innocence, she also thought that she would quit the job if it was no longer possible.

But you can't risk your reputation just for those three melons and two dates.

Now that Mrs. Sun was talking about adding more money, the Zhang family woman was tempted and did not mention resigning from her job for the time being.

After some consolation, the Zhang family woman felt much better. At least Yang Huazhong and Sun believed that she had not stolen money.

The Zhang family woman wiped away the tears on her face, stood up and said to Yang Huazhong and Sun: "Thank you for understanding me, then I will go back to my old house first..."

Yang Huazhong said: "When you go back now, my mother will probably not be able to deal with you. Unfortunately, I can't go anywhere. Qing'er's mother is soft-tempered. Even if she goes to your old house with you, she won't be able to help you get justice."

So don’t go back to the old house right now, you go home and rest for a day, and when my fourth brother comes back in the evening, you go to the old house with him!"

The Zhang family woman nodded repeatedly. After taking over the errand to serve Mrs. Tan, she stayed at Lao Yang's house day and night.

On weekdays, unless Ms. Tan is asleep, she can take time to run home to see her grandchildren, see how the chickens and ducks are doing, and have a few brief words with her son, daughter-in-law, and old man. , and gave her first month’s salary to them to support the family.

"That's really the best. Third child, Qing'er, thank you for your consideration for me. Then, I'll go back now."

After the Zhang family's wife left, Yang Huazhong and Sun chatted a few more words about the matter.

Yang Huazhong said: "She makes a fuss when she wakes up. She is wary of everyone just like she is wary of thieves. She is thinking about her little coffin book. People who don't know it would think how much gold, silver and jewelry she has in that box!"

Sun smiled bitterly and shook her head: "Now, even Mei'er says that it is better for my mother to be sick. She eats, sleeps, eats, and doesn't make any noise with others. She is very good."

Yang Huazhong sighed: "At this age, being blind and paralyzed is really pitiful and disgusting."

Sun said: "Logically speaking, there will be plenty of money in my mother's box, and Zhang's sister-in-law's character is still reliable."

Yang Huazhong nodded, "If she wants to count it, just count it. By then she will have a lot of money, and she will naturally have nothing to say."

In the evening, Yang Huaming came back from the Taoist temple and went straight to Yang Huazhong's house to visit.

The Zhang family's wife has just arrived and is waiting here.

Yang Huazhong told Yang Huaming about Tan's situation, and Yang Huaming immediately scoffed.

"Her box has been treasured her whole life, as if it were her heart and soul. Because of that box, I don't know how many family disputes have been caused. Even for someone who likes money like me, I don't want to touch her box. That box is unlucky!"

"Also, where her box is hidden, Mrs. Liu once tried to find my mother's box before she got married, but she dug three feet into the ground and couldn't find it."

"Sister-in-law Zhang, don't worry. We absolutely believe in your character. I will personally accompany you to the old house later. If my mother wants to count the boxes, I will bear witness to her."

The Zhang family woman was grateful and hurriedly followed Yang Huaming to the old house.

Mrs. Sun cooked dinner early, took care of Yang Huazhong's food, boiled hot water for him to take a bath, heated his feet, and prepared to go to bed early.

At this time, Yang Huaming suddenly left and returned, followed by the crying wife of the Zhang family.

"What's going on?" asked Sun in confusion.

The Zhang family woman just cried.

Yang Huaming said angrily: "Third brother, third sister-in-law, guess where my mother's box is hidden!"

Yang Huazhong said: "Under the bed."

Sun said: "In the closet."

Yang Huaming raised a finger and waved it: "It's buried in the ground."

"Buried in the ground? In the ground in the house?" Yang Huazhong asked.

Yang Huaming smiled: "That's right, it's buried under the floor where the toilet is placed, and the toilet is pressing on it. It's so dirty and smelly that if a thief breaks into the house, he won't even think of it being buried there."

"But the box that was buried so deep and ridiculously has money missing from it. Do you think it's strange?"

"What? Is there really less money? How much less?" Yang Huazhong was shocked.

Yang Huaming reported a number.

"My mother was crying and scolding. She was looking for life and death before. I tried to comfort her and promised to help her get the money back. She just gave up. Now she was tired of crying and fell asleep."

"Could my mother have remembered it wrong?" Mrs. Sun asked in shock.

Yang Huaming said: "I don't know. She didn't even remember who she was when she got sick, let alone the money in the box?"

"Hey, this seems to be a bit tricky. As long as she insists that she was stolen, it won't be easy."

Next to her, the Zhang family woman hid her face and cried louder and louder.

"I really didn't steal it. I swear on the lives of my whole family..."

Mrs. Sun quickly advised her: "Sister-in-law of the Zhang family, you don't have to swear like this, we believe you."

The Zhang family woman burst into tears, "I spit out my salary from last month to supplement it, and I will pay back the rest slowly. At worst, I will serve my aunt for a year in vain, but I still have to say that I really did not steal any money."

ah……"

Sun said: "We believe you. Our old Yang family will investigate this matter carefully, and we will not let you, sister-in-law of the Zhang family, bear this charge for nothing."

The crying wife of the Zhang family was finally persuaded to go home first, while Yang Huaming stayed with Yang Huazhong to discuss the next thing.

"Third brother, Zhang's sister-in-law was here earlier, so there are some things I can't say."

"Zhang's sister-in-law keeps saying that she didn't steal the money, but my mother insists that the money is less. I don't know who of the two is lying, and whether my mother has remembered it wrong, but there is one thing I can be sure of.

!”

"What are you concluding?" Yang Huazhong asked.
