Chapter 70: Jiaojiao is spoiled by the rough man

Since the couple locked themselves in Zhao Ying's room after breakfast early in the morning, you can't blame her for doing something else during this time.

She speculated that the reason why Zhao Ying and Jiang Shuzhen avoided her so deliberately and even sent her to wash clothes or clean the yard must be because the two of them secretly found some lucrative jobs without her knowledge and were unwilling to take her with them.

Since they can make money, where will they put their money?

Thinking of this, Jiang Panhua's eyes turned, and she suddenly suppressed her inner ecstasy, tiptoed across the hall, and went directly into the room of her eldest brother Su Gao and Jiang Shuzhen.

Houses in the countryside are usually not locked during the day and are only bolted at night, so it was suspicious for Zhao Ying and Jiang Shuzhen to be alone in the bedroom in broad daylight.

The room where my eldest brother Su Gao, Jiang Shuzhen and several children lived was a large bunk bed with bedding stacked on it. There was also an old cabinet on the kang. The cabinet was old and yellow, and the paint on it had peeled off a bit, but it was full of things.

After she gently opened it, she found that in addition to several people's clothes, there were also some daily necessities all piled in a grid. Jiang Panhua very gently took out some sewing needles and threads and scraps of cloth, and actually saw a small square wooden box underneath!

The wooden box was not locked, but it was buried under so many things, obviously containing valuable items.

Jiang Panhua's hands were almost shaking, but without making a sound, she took out a pile of change wrapped in silk and roughly counted it. Suddenly, she opened her eyes wide -

There are actually three or four yuan in this pile of change!

Quickly stuffing the change into her trouser pocket, Jiang Panhua wasted no time and quickly put everything back in place. Then she quietly walked out of the hall and headed straight for her room to the west.

These three or four yuan should not be the money that Big Brother Su Gao earned from farming. If it was money earned from work points, there would be various grain coupons and meat coupons in it, but it is obvious that there is only change in this silk.

She hasn't made new clothes for more than half a year.

"Mom, what are you doing?"

Thinking secretly, this might be the money that Jiang Shuzhen and Zhao Ying earned from doing something behind her back. Jiang Panhua was thinking about how to hide the money to prevent it from being discovered. Suddenly, a childish voice came from the corner.

Qinggui rolled her big, round eyes, put half a finger in her mouth, and looked at Jiang Panhua in a baby voice.

"Little bastard! Didn't you go out to play with your brothers?"

Startled by the sudden noise, Jiang Panhua's heart beat faster and she turned her head and scolded in a low voice.

Qinggui in the corner was so frightened that she froze. She retracted half of her finger into her mouth, and her little body seemed to shrink into the corner.

"Say it."

"I just finished using the bathroom and was about to go out and play with them, but they had already left." Qinggui was as afraid of Jiang Panhua as his brother Qinghe. Every time he was questioned in such a harsh voice, he would tremble with fear.

"Useless things."

Jiang Panhua glanced fiercely at Qinggui in the corner, then took a deep breath and counted the change in her hand again.

"You didn't see anything just now, you know? If anyone from them comes over and asks if you saw me taking the money, just say you knew nothing."

As soon as Jiang Panhua finished speaking, Xiao Qinggui nodded subconsciously.

With so much money suddenly in her hands, Jiang Panhua looked around the small room but couldn't find a safe place to hide the money.

"Get up, change your clothes and go back to grandma's house with mom!"

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Panhua suddenly walked up to Xiao Qinggui, scaring him so much that he trembled, and then he was roughly picked up from the ground.

Before Qinggui could react, Jiang Panhua had already opened the cabinet door on the kang and took out two new clothes that she had made for him last year.

Qinggui could only wear the newly made clothes when he went out. When he saw his mother holding out the clothes for him, he immediately put them on happily.

"Where is grandma's house?"

Since Qinggui was born, as far as he can remember, he seems to have never returned to his grandmother's house.

Hearing the child's question in a baby voice, Jiang Panhua felt inexplicably annoyed and patted Qinggui on the head, "Why waste so much time talking? The conditions at your grandma's house are much better than here. You can have whatever you want to eat when you go back to your grandma's house."

She quickly packed her package and carefully hid the four dollars in the deepest part of the bag to make sure it was safe. Then Jiang Panhua changed into bright clothes, put on the bag, and walked out of the west house with Qinggui.

The reason why she chose to take Qinggui back to her parents' home was because the child had just seen her counting money.

If the child was left alone in the Su family, once she left, the Su family might find out that the money was gone and ask Qinggui about it.

As for taking Qinggui back to her parents' home, not to mention that three-year-old children are always forgetful and there will be no today after tomorrow, and there is a child of the Su family in her hands, the Su family dare not just shut her out and let her go back to her parents' home and never come back.

"Mom, what are you doing? Why do you keep the door closed?"

The two people in the bedroom reacted quickly. Jiang Shuzhen picked up a thin blanket from the kang and covered everything on the table, while Zhao Ying walked calmly to open the door.

"Where are you going to dress like this?" As soon as he opened the door, Zhao Ying looked Jiang Panhua up and down, with undisguised disgust in his eyes.

"Mom, I have already cleaned the yard. I plan to take Qinggui back to my parents' home to get money from you." Jiang Panhua pretended to smile.

"Where can I get the money to give you? Didn't the salary of the third brother be given to you? Can't you just take it yourself?"

When Zhao Ying heard that Jiang Panhua was going home, his expression immediately eased a lot.

"Mom, what are you talking about? Didn't my husband give you almost all of his wages? He said he would build a house for us when he had the chance."

"That was before I married you. Now that I have you, why have you ever given me money? Wait... are you going to take Qing Gui away with you?"

Zhao Ying's sharp eyes softened immediately when they were on Qinggui, but her tone did not change at all. She said to Jiang Panhua, "It's your own business if you want to go back to your parents' home, but the child can't be with you. It's too dangerous outside, and the child's father is not at home. How can I explain myself if I let you two go like this?"

Jiang Panhua's expression remained unchanged. She reached out and touched Qinggui's head. "Mom, since I married and gave birth to Qinggui, I haven't taken the child to see his grandmother. I don't want to take the child away. After all, it's not very convenient on the way. But just now in the hut, the child cried and said he wanted to go with me to see his grandmother. You can't bear to see the child who hasn't seen his grandmother since he was born, right?"

As she spoke, Jiang Panhua picked up Qinggui from the ground, reached one hand into Qinggui's loose shirt, and pinched Qinggui's thigh hard where Zhao Ying couldn't see.

Qinggui, who was tortured by the pain, immediately burst into tears and looked like she was really wronged.

Jiang Panhua's words immediately left Zhao Ying speechless, and he was unable to speak for a long time.
