90s: Koi beauty reborn and became rich

Yi Congxin hurriedly lifted up the entire mat and searched every corner, including under the pillows and quilt, but there was no trace of the money.

She quickly put down the mat and lifted a corner of the water jar with force. Fortunately, the oil paper was still there and the money inside was not missing.

She put a few hundred-dollar bills back into her pocket and looked at the empty room. This was the room she shared with her younger sister. Could it be her younger sister... ?

Yi Congxin sighed.

In the original owner's memory, the younger sister Yi Caiting had the problem of dirty hands and feet since she was a child.

The adoptive father scolded Yi Caiting several times, but in the end he would still blame himself - if he were not so poor, the children at home could eat whatever they wanted and buy whatever they wanted, so who would steal?

Yi Caiting also burst into tears at that time, crying and shouting that she would never dare to do it again.

Could it be that her old illness has come back?

Yi Congxin felt bad, but she knew in her heart that no matter who took her money, she would probably never be able to keep it at home again.

In fact, it would be better if she didn't show up in this house. She goes out early and comes back late every day, smelling of medicine. Anyone can guess that she goes to collect herbs to make money.

The room is so empty that there is no place to hide anything.

She didn't want to work so hard for two months only to have the money she earned disappear for no apparent reason.

That was the money she used to repay the original owner and take revenge!

Since you have decided to leave, do it as soon as possible.

Yi Congxin quietly packed out a few sets of clothes, a set of worn thin bedding and some daily necessities, and also packed her school bag and textbooks.

After everything was packed up, she walked out of the hut, crossed the yard, and came to her foster mother's house.

Yi Congxin was about to push the door open when she heard a sarcastic voice from inside: "Mom, you're so kind! I finally borrowed some lard today and wanted to cook a meat dish for you, but I didn't expect you to eat alone here."

Wu Guiyue has always been two-faced in public and behind other people, and this has become even worse since her father-in-law passed away. She has become increasingly rude to her mother-in-law who has lost her support.

Yi Congxin sneered.

Wu Guiyue said it nicely. It turned out that she hid the meat and didn't give it to her family. Now she has the nerve to blame her adoptive mother?

"Sister-in-law, can you please speak nicely? This ginger duck is my gift to our mother." Yi Congxin pushed the door open and said loudly.

There was a dish of stir-fried bamboo shoots on the table, without a trace of meat in it. Was this the meat dish that Wu Guiyue cooked for her adoptive mother?

How dare she say that!

The ginger duck was placed on the table. The lid of the lunch box had just been opened, but the foster mother hadn't touched it at all.

"Oh - are we college students making money on our own? If you really want to make a lot of money, why don't you marry that big boss? What are you talking about here?" Wu Guiyue said sarcastically.

My aunt Yan Silan introduced him to such a good family. What’s wrong with being over 50 years old? His annual income is over ten thousand!

Just for this reason, she wanted to marry him.

As the saying goes, "A man you marry provides you with clothes and food." Ever since Wu Guiyue got married, she has been dissatisfied with the extremely poor Yijia family, especially Yi Congxin, her elder sister-in-law who studied in the city and only knew how to spend money but not earn it.

But the whole family, especially the father-in-law, was completely obedient to Yi Congxin.

Now that her father-in-law, who was a heavy burden on her, has passed away, her husband is working away from home, and her mother-in-law is useless, it is obviously up to her, Wu Guiyue, to be the head of the family.

Wu Guiyue had a lot of complaints, but now she no longer had to hold them in. She didn't even bother to pretend to be kind on the surface.

Yi Congxin didn't look away, walked straight to Yan Erping, and put the chopsticks in her hand, "Mom, this ginger duck is bought for you alone, it's delicious."

Wu Guiyue became anxious when she heard this. Her face turned pale and her voice was piercing: "What do you mean? Do you still have me, your sister-in-law, in your eyes?!"

Her look made Yi Congxin feel inexplicably refreshed!

"No, there really isn't anything at all!" Yi Congxin told the truth without blinking.

"you you!"

Wu Guiyue almost vomited blood and couldn't utter a word.

Yi Congxin, who used to be so impervious to criticism, is now speaking so harshly?!

Wu Guiyue picked up the plate of fried bamboo shoots and slammed the door and walked out. She didn't even feel the soup in the plate splashing all over her.

Yi didn't care about it at all and was too lazy to deal with this sister-in-law.

Yan Erping's lips trembled, and she couldn't pick up or put down the chopsticks in her hand. "Follow your heart, we won't get married, so don't argue with her. I can't finish this by myself."

She became increasingly confused about her adopted daughter, and her mind became even more confused.

Sometimes I feel like I'll be relying on my eldest son and daughter-in-law for support for the rest of my life, and I absolutely cannot afford to offend them. Sometimes I think about not letting my adopted daughter down, as it's clearly the eldest daughter-in-law who's skimping on food and clothing, and she's clearly on my side...

No matter what happened in her life, she never had a definite idea.

In the past, her husband had the final say, but now that he is dead... Yan Erping feels like she has lost her backbone. Everything she does is difficult and nothing goes right.

"If you can't finish this meal, you can continue eating at the next meal. You can finish it after two meals." Yi Congxin advised.

She sat next to her adoptive mother and looked quietly at the white hair on her temples. After her adoptive father passed away, she seemed to have more white hair than before.

"Mom, I came here to tell you that I want to move out."

Yan Erping was shocked. "What's wrong with you? Why do you say such things?"

"The money I put under my pillow is lost. I don't know who took it, or maybe someone stole it." Although Yi Cong was annoyed, he couldn't lose his temper out of consideration for his adoptive mother, so he just spoke briefly.

The original owner also made money by working as a tutor when she was in college. Apart from the tuition fee which was paid by Yi Huaizhong, she had to pay for the rest of the accommodation and living expenses by herself.

Every time the original owner returned home, he would bring back ten or twenty yuan to honor his parents.

So the whole family knew that she always had some money on her.

Yan Erping didn't say anything.

I was actually a little nervous.

Before she went to work in the fields during the day, she saw her youngest daughter Yi Caiting walking out of the house with a red cloth bag in her arms, her eyes flickering. Could it be that Caiting... She often secretly gave her youngest daughter pocket money, although it was only a few cents.

"From the heart... maybe you put it somewhere else and forgot about it?" After a long while, Yan Erping said tremblingly.

She didn't dare look at Yi Congxin, and just lowered her head to look at the ginger duck.

Yi Congxin didn't say anything. Every time there was a conflict, her adoptive mother would just try to smooth things over. Compared to the original owner's adopted daughter, Yi Caiting, her biological daughter, was naturally more important.

It's human nature, she has nothing to say.

Although she also wanted to fulfill her filial duty to her adoptive mother...

Forget it, let’s use other methods.

"Mom, I just came to tell you something. Don't worry, I will not miss a cent of what I owe you. I won't say anything else. Please take care of yourself."

After saying that, Yi Congxin stood up. As soon as he reached the door, he saw his younger sister Yi Caiting entering the yard.

On Yi Caiting's feet were a pair of brand new, shiny little red leather shoes.
