The mother of the era is reborn to support her cannon fodder children!

Chapter 52 "Taking the Wrong Medicine"

When Old Man Lu heard that all the money was gone, he hurried home.

The first thing I do when I get home is to check the cash box.

Seeing this, Mother Lu's face turned pale and she forced herself to ask, "You didn't touch the money?"

"Even if I move, I won't move all the way." Father Lu said angrily.

He searched frantically for money but couldn't find a single penny.

Father Lu was so angry that he threw the money box to the ground with a ferocious look on his face.

"Where's the money? Who took it away?"

His gloomy gaze swept over everyone.

Su Yuxian's scalp tingled, and he hurriedly said, "It's not me. I have a foot injury, and it's inconvenient for me to go anywhere. I haven't been to the main house."

Father Lu thought what she said made sense, so he looked away and looked at Lu Xiaomei.

"It wasn't me. If I had taken it, why wouldn't I confess?" Lu Xiaomei was unhappy.

Father Lu's face was sullen. "How can so much money just disappear out of thin air?"

The family turned the house upside down and even poked in the rat holes, but they couldn't find a single banknote.

Mother Lu sat on the ground crying, crying for her money.

"You damned thief, you gave birth to a son without an asshole. How dare you take all that money? Oh my god, I'm so heartbroken, my mother."

"When we catch this bastard, we'll chop off his paws and make his parents realize whether they're raising a human or an animal."

She was angry, but when she came to Lu Xiaomei, she wanted to cry.

Her dowry is included in that money.

Her mother said she would give her 200 yuan as a private stash when she got married. Now that money is gone, how can she get more?!
Father Lu angrily said, "Cry, cry, cry, what's the point of crying? Report it to the police, or at least the Public Security Committee. They're all a bunch of rubbish."

After cursing, he rushed out of the house and went to find the captain of the Public Security Committee.

Once he found it, the fact that the Lu family lost their money could no longer be concealed. The entire Harvest Brigade knew that the Lu family had been robbed.

Under the big banyan tree in the village, a group of women who had no time for lunch break because they had melons gathered in a circle and shared gossip about the Lu family.

"Hey, have you heard that the Lu family seems to have been robbed?"

"I heard about it, the news has spread everywhere!"

"Does anyone know how much money was stolen from his house?"

All shook their heads.

Yuan Bao's mother looked at the silent captain's wife and asked, "Does sister-in-law know?"

"You just remembered me." The captain's wife rolled her eyes, slowly stood up, picked up a stool and sat in the middle of the crowd.

She was content to be stared at by several pairs of eyes.

“I don’t know the exact amount.”

After hearing this, the excitement in the eyes of the onlookers faded. Wasn't this just a lie to them?
If the person who spoke was not the captain's wife, they would curse at him no matter how high or low the level.

"Don't be anxious," said the captain's wife.

Everyone thought she had inside information and looked over excitedly.

"I don't know the exact number, but I know a rough estimate."

This one sentence aroused the curiosity of everyone present.

"how much?"

"How many? At least three to five hundred, right?"

"Yizhou has an allowance, so it should be around three to five hundred."

……

Everyone said something to each other.

When the captain's wife thought about the amount of money the Lu family had lost, she felt a pang of sadness in her heart and showed it on her face.

"I heard it's over a thousand dollars."

To be honest, she was shocked when she first heard these words.

Thousands! She had never seen so much money in her life!

As the captain's wife finished speaking, hissing sounds began to rise one after another.

Everyone was shocked.

"Hiss!! Thousands of dollars?!" Yuanbao's mother hissed at the loudest, her lips trembling.

Her family couldn't even afford a hundred yuan.

"Is being a soldier so profitable?" Her eyes lit up, and she was thinking about letting her son Yuanbao join the army when he grew up.

The team leader's wife was stunned by the question and replied vaguely, "It's definitely much more than earning work points in the fields."

Even if you earn full work points every day, don't get sick, and don't miss work all year round, you'll still have less than 200 yuan by the end of the year. After deducting what you spend at home, you won't have much saved in a year.

It is said that anyone with assets exceeding one hundred yuan is considered rich.

"I wonder if my Yuanbao is lucky enough to be a soldier."

The captain's wife doesn't think that being a soldier is a blessing. It is true that there are allowances, but she heard that soldiers have to go to the battlefield and catch spies, which is very dangerous. The allowances are exchanged for their lives, so what kind of blessing is that?

"Thousands of yuan..." someone muttered, looking a little suspicious. "Did the Lu family kid send all his allowance back home?"

"Who knows?" said Wang Chunhua.

It seemed like there was a loudspeaker under the banyan tree, and as long as the words were spoken, they would spread quickly throughout the village.

Several old ladies made a special trip to the Gu family.

First of all, he gave Mother Gu an extremely complicated look.

Without waiting for Mother Gu to ask the purpose of their visit, Old Lady Li said sourly, "Mother Chenghuai, you have a son like Chenghuai, which is worth several other families."

Mother Gu: “……?”

Mother Gu looked at her blankly, "Why do you suddenly say that?"

"Did you take the wrong medicine?"

Old Lady Li felt upset.

"You don't know yet." Old Mrs. Qian, who lived in the same village as Gu's mother, said with a smile, "The Lu family lost money, haven't you heard?"

"Lost money?" Mother Gu raised her voice slightly.

"Yes, they said they lost thousands of dollars." When talking about thousands of dollars, everyone's tone was shocked, regretful, envious, and in an indescribably complicated way.

"Thousands of dollars?!" Gu's mother was also shocked.

Is the Lu family so rich?

but……

"What does the Lu family's lost money have to do with my third son?"

Old Lady Qian clicked her tongue, "Everyone is guessing that the Lu family kid's allowance is not low."

"He said that he was only the deputy battalion commander, yet his family had saved so much money. Your third son is the battalion commander, one level higher than him, so his allowance must be higher."

You can save more too.

What she didn't say was that many people were thinking about the Gu family and planned to come and borrow money when they were short of money in the future.

Mother Gu knew that wealth should not be shown to the public, so she immediately said, "I don't know about that. We split up a long time ago, and I never asked about Cheng Huai's allowance. How can I ask for money that my child has risked his life for?"

"His allowance is so high, why doesn't he give you pension money?" Old Lady Li looked incredulous.

Gu's mother said bluntly: "It's not like his father and I can't do it. Why do we need the child's money? We have enough food and drink at home."

"Could it be... your third daughter-in-law is reluctant to give it to her?" As if this could make her happy, Old Lady Li smiled with wrinkles all over her face.

"..."

Mother Gu said the most pretentious words in a calm tone, "Zhao Zhao said that I was tired of taking care of four children, and she will give me two yuan every month from now on."

She didn't mention that the money would be used directly for food. Two dollars was a lot.

Suddenly, several mothers-in-law sighed and were so upset that they couldn't speak.

Even Mrs. Qian, who was best friends with Gu's mother, looked at her jealously.

"Okay, I know your third daughter-in-law is filial, but it's scary to laugh like that. Do you still think you're a young girl?"

"They are all filial. My three daughters-in-law are all filial." Mother Gu's face was full of smiles, and a hint of pride flowed from the corners of her eyes. "The third daughter-in-law said that even if she is old, she can still look pretty and use face cream. She will buy some for me one day."

Unable to bear her smug look, the old ladies packed up their things and left.

After returning home, I saw that my son's nose was not a nose and his eyes were not eyes.

The sons of each family were full of doubts.

What medicine did you take wrong again?

I didn't dare to ask and just quickly found something to do for fear of being scolded.
-
The Lu family lost thousands of yuan, a huge amount.

The comrades of the Security Committee certainly used everything they had learned, investigated what needed to be investigated, asked what needed to be asked, and tried every possible means, but still to no avail.

It can only be considered as the end of the "cold case".

After hearing the results of the investigation, Lu's mother was unwilling to accept it and stepped forward to grab the patched sweatshirt of the captain of the public security committee.

There was a swish sound, which was the sound of clothes tearing.

The other members of the Public Security Committee were stunned.

Someone suddenly made a "puff" sound.

Then, the sound of air leakage came one after another.

Uncle Changsheng was also a member of the Public Security Committee. Seeing this, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "Auntie, you really don't treat us as outsiders. You're stripping our captain's clothes right in front of us. Isn't that inappropriate?"

Zhang Yongqiang, the head of the Public Security Committee, gave him a warning look, signaling him to be more restrained.

Mother Lu's face turned red, and she gouged her eyes out at Uncle Changsheng angrily, "I'll pay for it, okay?"

Uncle Changsheng is a rough guy. If you speak to him nicely, he may give you face. If you don’t speak to him nicely, I’m sorry, don’t expect him to say anything nice to you.

"Look at what you said. You tore it up, shouldn't you pay for it? Why are you shouting so loudly?"

Mother Lu was furious and ignored him. She chased after Zhang Yongqiang and asked, "Captain Zhang, what did you just say?"

"My family lost so much money, and you said you tried your best. What do you mean? You're not going to look for it now? What should I do then?"

She was so excited that she wanted to take action again.

Zhang Yongqiang frowned and took two steps back.

"So what do you want us to do? We've looked everywhere and asked everyone, but there's still no clue. What do you want us to do?"

Mother Lu screamed, "Keep looking! Until you find it!"

Uncle Changsheng scoffed, "That's a very crude request."

The other members of the security committee gave him encouraging looks and told him to say more.

The young man was greatly encouraged. He stepped forward with his chest held high and continued, "Our Public Security Committee is not your Lu family's, and we are not here to hang around your house all day."

"We've checked everything we should, but we can't find anything. Even if you force us to death, we still won't find anything."

"Some things don't always yield results just by hard work." He concluded with this sentence.

Mother Lu realized that her family's money was really gone. She felt so distressed that her vision went dark. She sat down on the ground and cried in despair: "My family's money!"

She has always been difficult to deal with, and the people from the Public Security Committee left one after another for fear of something happening.

The Lu family members sat numbly, each occupying a place, with dark clouds hanging over their heads and the atmosphere cold and gloomy.

Lu Baozhen covered her rumbling stomach and walked out of the room. When she reached the yard, she fell down.

This is the first time for the little lucky star recognized by the entire brigade.

She was confused and couldn't react for a long time.

Mother Lu's old eyes suddenly brightened. She stepped forward and picked up her granddaughter, her face wrinkled like old tree bark relaxed. "I have Baozhen. With Baozhen, that little bit of money is nothing."

She looked at Father Lu and said, "I'll take a day off tomorrow and take Baozhen to the county."

The money wrapped in blue cloth and the gold ring were "picked up" by Baozhen in the county. She would take Baozhen to the county, and the money and ring would definitely be returned.

Father Lu paused smoking his pipe and said, "Go."

Su Yuxian's gaze seemed to fall on Lu Baozhen, and something flashed quickly in his eyes.
-
county.

After work, Lin Zhao drove Li Fen to the match factory, got the materials for making 500 matchboxes, learned how to make them, thanked the enthusiastic sister Li Fen, and said goodbye.

After leaving the match factory, I went to a photo studio, took out the film, paid the studio's master to develop the photos, and confirmed the time to pick up the photos.

Then ride your bike home.

As soon as we arrived at the village entrance, two cubs and two dogs, one big and one small, came to greet us.

Erzai hugged Lin Zhao's waist and said, "Mom, I want to ride a bicycle."

The eldest cub held his younger brother and said, "Second cub, mom is tired from work."

"...Okay." Erzai looked disappointed and sighed, "When will I be able to ride a bicycle by myself?"

"Maybe another three to five years." Lin Zhao replied.

She bent down and picked up the second child, put the little one in the back seat, and looked at the eldest child: "Mom will push you home. Second child will sit first, and then you can sit, okay?"

The eldest child said, "Sure, I'll help you push the cart."

After saying that, he grabbed the back of the bicycle.

Erzai was so happy when he got on the bike, he swung his legs and shouted in a loud voice filled with joy, "Mom, it's so high! I love bikes."

The villagers said that no one doesn't like bicycles.

Old Lady Qian said with a smile, "Second son, wait for your father to come back and let him carry you higher on his neck."

Erzai looked at Lin Zhao and asked, "Mom, how tall is my dad? Is he as tall as my second uncle?"

"Of course, your father is a famous tall man in the surrounding villages. He is taller than your grandfather, your uncle, and your uncle as well." Lin Zhao explained in a gentle voice.

When she was dating Comrade Gu Chenghuai, his height and good looks were both important plus points.

"Wow!" Erzai exclaimed, looking at his mother eagerly, "Mom, can I be that tall?"

"Of course, you are your father's sons. As long as you eat well, of course you can grow that tall." Lin Zhao smiled and suddenly thought of her son's father. She wondered how he was doing.

As they were walking, Erzai suddenly said, "Mom, stop, it's my brother's turn to sit down."

"Erzai did the right thing. He's not greedy and he's thinking about his brother in his heart." Lin Zhao praised.

Erzai held his head high and chest out, feeling elated.

My mother praised me again, hehe.

The eldest child sat on the back seat of the bicycle, his posture was much more obedient than his younger brother, with a calm face. Except for the corners of his mouth being raised higher than usual, he did not show any joy.

"Did anything happen in the village today?" Lin Zhao asked casually.

The second child trotted forward and walked side by side with his mother, his eyes shining. "Yes! There are so many things happening in the village today."

He glanced around cautiously and said mysteriously, "Mom, Lu Baozhen is super weird."

Lin Zhao couldn't help laughing and said in confusion, "What's so strange about it?"

"She shouted to her hand... Pear!" The child, who didn't even have a kindergarten education, didn't know which pear it was and could only think of the pear to eat.

Lin Zhao paused and asked in astonishment, "You said Baozhen was talking to her hands?"

"That's right." Erzai nodded his head, "My brother and I saw it, right, brother?"

Lin Zhao followed his gaze and turned to look at the calm eldest son.

"Yeah, I saw it too. She was calling Lili." The eldest son spoke clearly and with the courtesy of a little gentleman, like Lin's father. "Mom, Lu Baozhen also tried to steal the box that the second son and I dug."

His face was stern. "She even threatened Erzai and me, asking us to give her the box, or she would tell the team."

Erzai jumped in front of Lin Zhao and added quickly: "She also bit me! Look at the bite marks she left on me, Mom." He raised his hand.
