Seeing the old lady so happy, Lin Xiujuan couldn't help laughing, "Mom, what's the matter, did something good happen?"
"That's right! Didn't I go to touch the snails with Jianlin and two children last night? I actually touched dozens of catties, and there were dozens of catties of eel and loach. I sold it for more than 50 yuan today. My daughter's full moon wine can be done!"
"Really?" Lin Xiujuan was overjoyed. She thought it would be great if she could touch a dozen catties, but she didn't expect it to be so much!
More than fifty yuan is not a small amount.
"Ninny, it must be your blessing to grandma, dear grandma!" Old Mrs. Shen kissed the little girl in her arms again.
Fu Bao smiled at her, revealing her pink and tender gums without teeth.
Seeing her smile, Mrs. Shen's heart melted and she became even happier. And when she, the backbone, was in a good mood, the whole family resumed their laughter.
Mrs. Shen hugged Fubao for a long time before she was willing to let go and went to prepare lunch for the family. After lunch, I went out again in a hurry, and went to the tailor in the village to ask him to make a better set of clothes for Fu Bao, and wear them when the full moon is drunk.
Mrs. Shen thought she was lucky enough, but she didn't expect that when the evening approached, two people in uniforms came and said they came to return the things.
Mrs. Shen welcomed him into the yard, and asked in surprise, "You just said you wanted to return the things? Our house didn't lose anything."
A man took out a small blue cloth bag, handed it over and said, "Old lady, do you think this is from your house?"
When Mrs. Shen saw it, she was stunned and couldn't speak for a while.
This... isn't this her purse
She quickly took it over, opened it to look, and found that thirty yuan was a lot.
The man explained: "Old lady, your money was stolen, right? The thief wanted to steal other people's money, but we caught him. Your old man used to sell medicinal materials on the street, and the thief knew him. When I asked him whose money he stole, he said it belonged to your family, so we sent it back to you."
Another man said indignantly: "That thief is too vicious! Knowing that your family is in trouble, but still stealing money, we will not let this kind of person go, we will definitely let him go to jail, old lady, you can rest assured."
Old Mrs. Shen's eyes turned red all of a sudden, she never thought that the stolen money would come back to her!
"Thank you, thank you very much..." Her voice trembled with excitement.
This is Shen Jianlin's salary for one month, so there is no need to worry about the family's rations!
In order to express her gratitude, Mrs. Shen took out five yuan to give to the two of them. The two refused to accept it anyway, fearing that the old lady insisted on accepting it, they turned around and ran away.
When she returned to the house, Mrs. Shen couldn't help but wiped her tears again.
Shen Jianlin was teasing Fu Bao in the back room, and when he heard the old lady sobbing, he thought something had happened again, and immediately became nervous, and hurried out and asked, "Mom, what's the matter? What did those two people come for?"
"It's okay! I'm so happy!" Mrs. Shen wiped away her tears and took out the small cloth bag, "Look, our money is back!"
"What?" Shen Jianlin's eyes widened suddenly, with a look of surprise on his face, "He came back unexpectedly, my God, our family is lucky!"
Fu Bao lay in Lin Xiujuan's arms and closed his eyes quietly, feeling happy in his heart.
With the money, Mrs. Shen didn't stop for a moment, and immediately dragged Shen Jianlin and the two older children, and went to the town to buy meat and vegetables, and invited two people to prepare tomorrow's full moon wine.
