Chapter 34 The last wish of the unlucky father and daughter in the 60s 13
"Didn't your family's money get stolen? I can't help you get it back unless you report it to the police." The captain didn't understand Old Man Shen's train of thought.
Old man Shen couldn’t explain why he didn’t want to report to the police. Maybe he didn’t want people to know how much money his family had?
When they divided the property, did everyone in the village know how much money each branch of the Shen family got?
But only the people of Qinghe Village knew about it. If the police were notified, wouldn't people from other villages also know about it? The thief who stole the money was not found, the money was not recovered, and new thieves were attracted, and all the existing money was lost.
Old man Shen came up with a wicked idea to put the blame on Gu Laoliu. He heard that Gu Laoliu's brother-in-law came to see him, and they were both workers in the town, so his family must be well-off.
If they can’t find the thief, they’ll take some money from Gu Laoliu to make up for the loss.
"I suspect that it was my fourth son who took it. It would be bad for him if I report it to the police."
When Old Mrs. Shen heard her husband say this, she knew what he was planning. Coincidentally, she thought the same thing.
Captain and the onlookers: Do you want to listen to what you are saying?
Will they believe it? Of course not.
Especially the captain, who thought he knew the truth very well. He was really shocked. What kind of father was this? He actually wanted to label his own son a thief.
"Uncle Shen, your fourth child is not your and aunt's biological child, right? If he was, how could you kick him out of the house and now frame him for stealing money?
Besides, the money originally belonged to him, and now you have lost it, and you still want to frame him? You are already at this age, so do some good deeds for yourself and your descendants."
After the captain finished speaking, he ignored them and left the Shen family leisurely with his hands behind his back.
He missed the truth. The money was indeed taken by Gu Laoliu, but no one knew about it. Even Old Man Shen was planning to frame him, but he ended up hitting the mark.
The eyes of the onlookers looking at Old Shen's family have never been so unified, full of contempt and ridicule.
Old Mrs. Shen still wanted to win sympathy votes, but the onlookers did not buy it and left with the captain.
She couldn't even cry anymore, so she got up from the ground, wiped her snot and tears with her sleeve, and prepared to ask Gu Laoliu for some compensation.
The Shen brothers all acquiesced in the old couple's behavior. They were the beneficiaries and of course would not stop the old couple from seeking benefits for them, especially the eldest brother Shen, who was eager for the old couple to go and make trouble with Gu Laoliu as soon as possible.
Mrs. Shen Er pulled the sleeve of Mr. Shen Lao Er and whispered, "Have some shame. Doesn't the fourth brother owe your family money? Besides, even if your mother extorts money from the fourth brother, will you get a share of it? Why are you so happy? Hurry up and find the team leader to approve the foundation, build the house and move out as soon as possible."
Except for Shen Laoer, who went to see the team leader to approve the foundation, no one in the Shen family left the house. They kept wandering around in the yard and couldn't get out.
There was no need to think, it was Gu Laoliu who took action again. As I said before, he was not in the mood to join them in a quarrel, it was so noisy.
Shen Mingbao was still on the mountain and hadn't returned home. He didn't know what had happened at home. He hadn't gained anything today and went down the mountain dejectedly.
When Xie Xiaoqiu saw him coming down the mountain empty-handed, he knew that he hadn't picked up any prey again and had been out of luck for two days.
Fortunately, her target today was not pheasants or rabbits, "Ming Bao?"
"Sister Xiaoqiu? I didn't pick up any pheasants or rabbits this morning. I'll go up the mountain to have a look in the afternoon." Shen Mingbao was used to delivering prey to Xie Xiaoqiu, so he hurried to explain when he saw her.
"It doesn't matter. Prey is not that easy to pick up. Do you have money? Can you lend me some?"
"Sister Xiaoqiu, why do you want money?"
"My father talked in his sleep yesterday, saying that I am not his daughter, and that his daughter is enjoying life in the capital on my behalf. I want to try writing a letter to the capital."
Shen Mingbao's eyes widened a bit, and he looked at Xie Xiaoqiu in surprise, "Really? But do you know where to send the letter?"
"Send it to the Public Security Bureau," she suddenly had an idea. Judging from Chang'an's words, her parents' family were well-known figures in the capital.
If the Public Security Bureau received a letter addressed to her grandmother, would they deliver the letter to her home?
Shen Mingbao felt that this seemed to be feasible. Although he was reborn, his knowledge was limited and he had no good ideas. Since Xie Xiaoqiu had come up with the solution herself, he would do it according to her own method.
"I only have twenty dollars. You wait here, I will go back and give it to you now." As long as he helps Xie Xiaoqiu return to her biological parents, she will definitely repay him. Will she want any benefits by then?
He wants to go to the capital and become a city dweller.
Because of his wild idea, Xie Xiaoqiu's process of getting the wool from the sheep went very smoothly.
Shen Mingbao's koi halo completely disappeared after half a month. It didn't disappear so quickly originally, as Old Lady Shen was the assist.
Every day she spoke ill of Gu Laoliu and his daughter in front of Shen Mingbao. Shen Mingbao and Old Lady Shen shared the same hatred for the enemy and both felt that it was Gu Laoliu's fault that the house was robbed.
Then he would unconsciously radiate malice towards Gu Laoliu and Chang'an, and would be attacked back every day, and would be exhausted quickly.
After not finding anything in the mountains for five consecutive days and accidentally breaking his hand, the Shen family was very sure that Shen Mingbao's good luck was over.
He was the only son of the third wife, and even though he had no luck, his parents were very good to him.
As for the other members of the Shen family, they turned against him directly, and Old Man and Old Lady Shen didn't even bother to give him a good look.
I have become a worthless waste, not worthy of their attention and love.
Old Mrs. Shen regretted again for kicking Gu Laoliu out of the house. Gu Laoliu was much more useful than Shen Mingbao, but it was useless to regret it. They dared not not look for him.
Whenever they went out to look for Gu Laoliu, they would encounter a wall of ghosts and would not be able to get out until nightfall.
Later they tried to go out at night, but the same thing happened. It was not until the next morning that they could get out of the haunted house.
The Shen family was terrified. They guessed that the ghost wall blocking them might be Gu Laoliu's dead wife and son, and that the mother and son were protecting the father and daughter.
The Shen family quietly burned incense and kowtowed at home, swearing to never cause trouble for the father and daughter again, and only then did they feel a little relieved.
Gu Laoliu knew what they were imagining, so he took Chang'an to play a trick on them that night.
The ethereal ghost laughter of "Hahaha" came one after another, not only scaring the people in the Shen family to death, but even the neighbors next door were hiding in their beds and trembling.
After scaring Old Shen’s family, the father and daughter went back and fell asleep with their arms and legs spread out, looking heartless.
The famine ended with a thunderstorm in the summer of 62, and the villagers jumped and danced in the rain.
The team leader convened a meeting of village cadres overnight, and Qinghe Brigade resumed production labor the next day. The planting period for rice, wheat and sweet potatoes had passed, but potatoes and winter cabbage could be planted.
The wooden sticks in Chang'an's house became a rose wall, and her house became the most beautiful house in the brigade. Children often came to stroll around and pick some flowers to take home.
The villagers couldn't understand why the flowers in Chang'an's house grew so lushly in such a famine when even crops couldn't survive.
