After comforting Dabai, Yang Huamei went to the kitchen to cook another bowl of noodles for Dabai.

This time, Dabai was finally willing to take the chopsticks.

"Mom, you are still kind to me!"

Yang Huamei smiled bitterly, "You are the flesh that fell off my body, so I should be nice to you."

Dabai's eyes also turned red, and he nodded: "Mom, I will make a lot of money. When I make money, I will honor you and let you have face in the village!"

Yang Huamei smiled happily.

"Mom doesn't care about that. I just want you to live a good life."

Dabai went silent.

Seeing Dabai eating the noodles, Yang Huamei asked him to rest at home while she went out.

Yang Huamei walked on the front foot, and Hongmei on the back foot pushed the door open and came in secretly.

"How's it going? Did you borrow money from your mother?"

Hongmei closed the door, came to the bedside with bright eyes, and pushed Dabai's arm.

Dabai raised his head and looked at her with a dismayed look: "My mother was frightened by me because of the commotion earlier. Can you not help me find money?"

"That's good!" Hongmei's face was red and she smiled excitedly.

"Well, can you just tell me that my plan this time is good? Is this torture plan realistic enough?" When she was excited, she recalled her plan and acting skills, and couldn't help but feel proud.

Dabai smiled bitterly, "Although we won and everything was planned, my heart is not as happy as I imagined."

On the contrary, it was quite uncomfortable. I didn't dare to look into my mother's eyes and my heart was blocked.

Hongmei looked at Dabai and saw his depression. Her eyes flashed and she reached out to hold Dabai's cold hand.

"There is a saying in the play that a tiger falls in Pingyang and is bullied by dogs, and a dragon travels in the shallows and is tricked by shrimps."

"Dabai, I was so optimistic about you that I decided to follow you. I care so much about my appearance and figure that I am willing to turn myself into a yellow-faced woman just to give you a baby."

"You are a filial son, I understand, but filial piety is not just words, you have to take actions."

"What is the action? A big house, silk and satin, chicken, duck and fish meat, buying servants and maids to serve your mother, so that your mother can visit relatives in glory..."

"These all cost money!"

"But we have no money, so we can only concentrate on making money. How can you make money if you don't do big business?"

"But we have no capital. We lost our capital when we were imprisoned last time. We can't even get the shop back!"

"None of your relatives will help us. They are all waiting to see our jokes. The only one who can help us now is your mother."

"It's not like we defrauded her of her money. The money and the gold bracelet were just left in her hands. They are dead money. One penny is spent and one penny is lost, but it is different if it is given to us."

"We can use the money to make money, and when we make a lot of money, we can return the principal with interest to your mother."

Dabai looked straight at Hongmei, and after being enlightened by her, the guilt in his heart faded a lot.

Hongmei struck while the iron was hot and took Dabai's hand and put it on her tall belly.

"Look, our child will be born soon, and he is still waiting for his father to make money so that he can live a good life!"

"Dabai, a real man doesn't stick to trivial matters. Let's be more ruthless and compensate my mother well in the future, okay?"

The movement in the belly under the palm of his hand was transmitted bit by bit to Dabai's body, penetrating through his soul...

…

Let's say that Yang Huamei held an umbrella and walked through the mud all the way to Yang Huazhong's house at the entrance of the village.

Along the way, I thought about various excuses in my mind, such as how to speak so as not to appear abrupt...

However, when she arrived at Yang Huazhong's house, she found that General Tie had locked the door and his third brother and sister-in-law were not at home.

Yang Huamei didn't want to go back like this. Dabai at home was still waiting. She didn't want to disappoint her son again.

So she thought about it for a while and went to the river dam behind the village.

It was raining at the river dam, and the road was muddy. The mud was up to my knees.

But everyone was working hard to repair the river embankment in the rain, chasing each other and working in full swing.

Yang Huamei struggled to find Yang Huazhong in the crowd.

I finally found him near a shed, where he was discussing something loudly with a few people.

Yang Huamei went over bravely and stood outside the shed waiting in the rain.

Someone saw her and alerted Yang Huazhong, who then shouted at her and asked: "Meier, why are you here? What's the matter?"

Yang Huamei nodded bravely.

Yang Huazhong waved to her: "Then come in and talk!"

Yang Huamei glanced at the other people in the shed. Some were from the village, and one was Li Wei's uncle Li Jia, who was Li Zheng of Lijia Village.

There were two young men standing with Li Jia, who must have come from Lijia Village.

How could Yang Huamei dare to enter with so many people?

Besides, everyone else was busy building dams, and she, an idle person, didn’t do anything to help, and yet she came to ask for money. How shameless!

"I'll come back later, third brother, you are busy first."

Yang Huamei turned around and walked away as if running away.

Yang Huazhong was so busy that he didn't bother to chase her. He would wait until he had time to talk about it later!

But at home, she still didn't want to go back, for fear of Dabai asking.

She wandered around like a lonely ghost and wandered back to the river dam again.

This time, Yang Huazhong happened to be coming here. He wanted to go home to get something and take a look at Lao Yangtou at home.

Seeing Yang Huamei, the two walked together.

"Third brother, I went to your house earlier and saw that your door was locked."

"It should be that your third sister-in-law went to the vegetable garden, and your father didn't go out either, so he locked the door."

"By the way, Mei'er, is there something wrong with you?" he asked again.

Yang Huamei gritted her teeth and told her that she wanted to get back the twenty taels of silver.

"What? You want to take it all back?"

"Um."

"Meier, did something happen? Why do you suddenly want to take all the money back? Didn't you ask me to help you save and increase the interest?"

Yang Huazhong asked worriedly, twenty taels of silver was not a small amount, he had to ask clearly.

Yang Huamei didn't want to tell him the truth.

The third brother has always been disdainful of Dabai. If he knew that the money was obtained for Dabai, he would definitely go and ask Dabai face to face.

So she lied and said: "I was thinking that Hongmei was about to give birth. After giving birth to the baby and finishing her confinement period, Dabai would probably not want this wife, but our old Wang family still has to raise a grandson."

"I don't have any money on hand, and I don't feel at ease. After much thought, I still want to get the twenty taels of silver back and keep it myself so that I won't bother Third Brother."

After talking to this extent, Yang Huazhong couldn't say anything more.

Moreover, red plums were mentioned. Yang Huazhong felt embarrassed when he mentioned red plums. This topic was not suitable to be discussed further.

"The money is in the bank. I can't spare the time to get it for you at the moment."

"Ah?" Yang Huamei raised her head, her face full of anxiety and a little panic.

Yang Huazhong then said: "But don't worry, I still have some cash at home. I will give you twenty taels from home first. I will treat the money from the bank as my own, but I will not earn any interest during this period."
