If she comes back later, let’s see how she’s going to sort herself out!
Arriving at the Zhao Family courtyard, Sister-in-law Zhao said, "Wait here, I’ll go inside and get the money."
"Go on! Don’t play any more tricks!" Qiangzi’s dad was getting impatient.
Sister-in-law Zhao went inside to look for the money, but when she opened the cupboard where the money was hidden, her face turned pale and she broke out in a cold sweat!
Oh my God!
Where’s her money?
Where is it?
This is all her savings!
"Oh Lord above! I can’t go on living!" Sister-in-law Zhao sat on the ground crying her heart out, "Who is the wretched thief who stole my money..."
Qiangzi’s dad and the tall slim woman exchanged a look, seeing the bad omen in each other’s eyes; they hurried inside, only to find Sister-in-law Zhao sitting on the ground, sobbing uncontrollably!
Qiangzi’s dad said angrily, "You’re doing this on purpose, aren’t you? First the person is gone, now the money too! I’m going to report you for fraud!" frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
Sister-in-law Zhao cried as she said, "It wasn’t on purpose! My money is truly gone! Would I joke about something like this? If I’m lying, may lightning strike me down! Oh, you cruel bastards, thinking you can bully me because the men of our house aren’t home! Oh my God! I can’t go on living... can’t go on..."
When it comes to making a scene, Sister-in-law Zhao is second to none if she claims first place!
Qiangzi’s dad and the tall slim woman had no choice but to let her sign an IOU.
Now back to Zhao Yu’s side.
Because this is a mountain village, transportation is mostly on foot, and communication relies on shouting. In the afternoon, Zhao Yu and Dapang encountered an ox cart on the road.
Zhao Yu waved to the ox cart, "Old Grandpa! Old Grandpa! Could you give us a ride?"
The old man driving the ox cart immediately pulled on the reins and asked with a smile, "Little girl, where are you heading?"
Zhao Yu tilted her head to think for a moment, "Hmm, we’re going to the county town!"
They needed to transfer to a bus in the county town before they could take a train; Zhao Yu had a clear goal.
"Going to the county town, huh!" said the old grandpa, stroking his beard. "We might not be heading to the county town, but I can take you to Lejia Town, and from there you can take a bus to the county town! By the way, little girl, isn’t there supposed to be one more person with you?"
"There is one more right here!" Zhao Yu bent down to pick up Dapang.
The old grandpa laughed, "Haha! You’re quite an interesting little girl!"
He had thought Zhao Yu had a companion when she said ’we’!
He didn’t expect her companion to be a cat.
