All-round way to money

When Xiao Yu said it when he went home to pick up people, the family members were all in a daze.

How did he die?

No illness or disaster, such a strong living person, dead?

"Let's go back first."

Don't care if you have lost contact with each other, they are also brothers.The old couple have to go back, the four elder brothers and their daughters-in-law go back to see what's going on.Arrange for the children, spend 200 yuan, charter a small passenger car at the bus station, pull the whole family, and drive to Shijingzi.Before leaving, Chu Ran hadn't forgotten that she went to the store to get some white cloths, so white cloths are not required for funerals, and the family didn't know there was a mess, so it must have been unprepared.

The driver did not drive slowly, and arrived home in two hours.

If there is no chaos as imagined, the benefits of having more brothers will be reflected at this time.There are dozens of cousins ​​in the Xiao family, and there are more than a dozen of them who stay at home to farm. They don’t look at the face of the monk but at the face of the Buddha. In addition, Boss Xiao’s popularity is actually not bad, and they all come to help maintain it. There are many people watching the excitement.There is no coffin yet, and the person is laying it on a straw mat in the yard, and his body is also covered with a straw mat.

Three children, the eldest is eleven years old, the second is nine years old, and the youngest is six years old.The six-year-old daughter was not in front of her, and the two older sons were kneeling next to the dead body, burning paper. They looked dumbfounded and didn't know how to cry.

The boss is sitting on the edge, smoking non-stop.Except for the village chief secretary of the village, all the elders and relatives of Xiao's family accompanied him, and none of the sister-in-law's natal family.No one spoke, they all sat in silence.

The car entered the yard, and the old couple got out of the car with their brothers, and everyone started to move and say hello.

In this case, don't ask.

When asked, people don't know what to say.

The root of everything stems from the word greedy.

When the family property was divided before, didn’t the elders leave five boxes, and the boxes were useless and broken.The eldest daughter-in-law divided the box into two, put soil on it, went to the commune to collect flower seeds, and used it as a flowerpot.When I’m free, I like to play with those boxes of roses. At present, the woman who loves to grow flowers in the village often raises roses and September chrysanthemums. Water, the water season is not very good, but she still likes to take care of it.After a long time of contact, let her see that the rust on the box is water rust, not earth rust.No matter what, she grew up by the water, and she still knows what the rust soaked in the water looks like.

Remembering that Mrs. Xiao said that things were taken out from the ground, she became suspicious. She suspected that the old lady was lying, that the gold, silver and jewelry were not only distributed, but also hidden, or secretly given to the fourth and fifth children. separated.She asked the boss if she knew where the thing was hidden. After taking everything out, there was nothing to hide, so the boss said it was hidden in the mud of Paozi.

But his daughter-in-law misunderstood it. She didn't expect it to be underwater. She thought it was mud from the swamp.

Why is Zhaluopao called Pao and not Lake?Because it is shallow.The deepest place is less than ten meters.But it has a large area, and the reason why the aquatic plants are particularly abundant is that it also has a particularly large wetland.According to information in the county annals, the water surface area must be [-] square kilometers, and the wetland area exceeds [-] square kilometers.Wetlands are particularly fertile, with a lot of mud and little water, and it is even better to regulate the climate.But there is another name for a wetland, which is a swamp.

Everyone in the swamp knows that it is difficult to get out if you get stuck in it, which is very dangerous.The villagers living around Paozi all know which swamp is especially dangerous, and even children have been told to stay away from it since they were young.Whoever's geese and ducks went in, no one looked for them, and they waited for themselves to come out, and it was fine if they couldn't get out.

Therefore, no one goes to the most dangerous area.

The eldest daughter-in-law thought that her mother-in-law's treasures were buried there.It's safe if no one goes.Then people diverged their thinking, thinking about this bubble, in the Song Dynasty, it was the hunting ground where the emperor of the Liao Kingdom came to hunt every year. It has been 2000 years, and there have been many dignitaries and dignitaries. The old prince can know where to hide gold and silver. , Don't other dignitaries know about it?Therefore, even if the mother-in-law did not hide the adulterer, there might be gold and silver treasures hidden by others.

So, in July, when the weather was hot and the water was no longer cold, she ran to the swamp in the middle of the night to fish for treasures.It's so hard to die, she really got a gold ring inlaid with gemstones.This time it was even worse. At first, I was just on the edge, bending over to touch the mud.Then go further and further in.Don't you just get stuck in it?

Boss Xiao began to think that she got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom.At dawn, he went to bed and didn't see anyone coming back, so he went out to look for it.After searching all morning, I even scoured the cesspit of the toilet with a hoe to make sure it didn't fall into the cesspit. I asked all the people who could talk to her a few words, but they couldn't find it.It was almost noon, and a child in the village came home from school for lunch, saying that he got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, and saw Aunt Xiao went to Paozi.

In the middle of the night, there are many people going to Paozi to catch loaches with nets. This is nothing new, and the children didn’t take it seriously.Didn't mention it to anyone.When I went home for dinner, I heard his parents chatting about the loss of Boss Xiao's daughter-in-law.

Only then did the people from the Xiao family look for the paozi again.I searched all the places around where I used to cast nets, and there was no place where I often fished and picked up pheasant and duck eggs.Finally, I went to the swamp to try to find it.From a distance, I saw a navy blue floral coat covering the mud.The clothes were washed and faded, one piece was blue and the other was white, that is to say, the eldest daughter-in-law didn't mind being ugly, so she still wore it.Everyone in the village knows the clothes.Looking at the place again, the hearts of those present were chilled.

No one dared to go in and find someone directly.The eldest was about to go in, but his third uncle held him back with his arms around his waist.Someone went back to the village to get the rope.Several people tied around their waists and went in to fish at the same time.After more than ten hours, people fished it up, and it was hard.

The old branch secretary arranged for people to carry the body home, and at the same time sent people to go to the commune to report to the police. He must have an explanation if he went in by himself or was killed.Normal people, well, who will go to the swamp?Everyone in the village knows that their family is rich, and there are objective conditions for being killed.After all, the old branch secretary was his own uncle, and he didn't want her to die in vain.Also asked the person who went to call the police to send a letter to the second elder of the Xiao family and the brothers of the eldest.It is necessary to arrange someone to fix the coffin. There is no preparation for the sudden death, and there is no ready-made coffin in the coffin shop.I have to nail one for her now, and after nailing it, I have to paint it with oil, and it will take a few hours anyway.Therefore, when Chu Ran and the others rushed back, they were lying in the yard, and the coffin hadn't been finished yet.

It took a long time for the man to bring her back, and the boss finally came to his senses. Now the police are here. After all, they have been married for more than ten years. He said that she must have gone to fish for treasure and drowned herself.Then people don't have to ask, why did they go there to get the treasure, the boss said, she suspected that the mother-in-law hid adultery, and the treasure was hidden there but was not brought out.The police also examined the body and found the ring in her hand, which was tightly held until death.There was no scar on his body, and it really didn't look like he was murdered.In addition, a pocket sewn with cloth was found on the underwear, and a passbook was found inside.The words on the passbook were all soaked in water, and I could see a lot of digits, but I couldn’t be sure whether it was tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands. Anyway, it’s just a lot of money.

He didn't lose anything on his body, and the gold ring in his hand was also there, so the possibility of being killed was even smaller.I visited the village again, and now seven or eight out of ten of Shijingzi's strong laborers have gone to the city to work on the construction site of Lao Xiao's house. The rest of the village are old and weak women and children. The strong man who can't live is at home at night, and there are neighbors to testify, so he didn't hear the sound at night.No abnormality was found in the questioning.Basically ruled out the possibility of homicide.

Coupled with Boss Xiao's rhetoric and her usual behavior, almost everyone thinks that it is very likely that she made a mistake and drowned.

No, even the Xiao family who came back to attend the funeral and listened to the whole process felt that way.

Chu Ran also found it credible.There are people who are greedy for money, so who would harm her?Who would have thought that she could sew her passbook onto her panties in summer?Those who want to be greedy for money should also look for it at home.Moreover, there is another very important reason. Mrs. Xiao is middle-aged, and she has not been hungry for the past two years.She is short at first, with a height of 1.5 meters, coupled with a weight less than [-], she is already spherical. Whoever wanted to harm her, how did she get transported to the swamp?At this time, few people even own bicycles.She is a living person again, won't she scream?It's just that he passed out, so there must be movement for such a big living person, right?And the child proved that she walked over by herself.Just to make people feel sick, she went out to have a private meeting with someone in the middle of the night, and that person is going to be afraid of her, can she keep silent?Whenever she yells, people who go out to get off the net in the middle of the night can always hear her, right?You can't just have a private meeting in the swamp, can you?Besides, the eldest daughter-in-law is not good at this and that is not good at all, but no matter who says it, she won't do it.

After thinking about it for a while, no matter how I think about it, it is impossible to commit homicide. It depends on Master. Master has learned a lot, so maybe he can have a different opinion.The master just shook his head.Killing people is not so easy.There are very few people who kill someone completely without any abnormality, and don't run or hide.If there was such a thing, someone would have discovered the anomaly and sent a letter to the family.The eldest daughter-in-law is not popular, but the eldest is not bad, and there are other people in the Xiao family's face. If someone finds something, they will not ignore it.It would be even more impossible if a stranger did it. If a stranger came to the commune, the police station would know everything about it that day.Not to mention the nearby villages, it's even more impossible.

Therefore, after analyzing various reasons, she drowned herself.

Then tell me what happened.

If there is such a number at the stall, everyone in the Xiao family counts as one, including Chu Ran, who are all very annoyed.That's really not human at all, they just mess around, these little ones have to look at the face of the old man, and they can't leave them a part of anything, who doesn't feel angry?

But she left so suddenly, and the body was carried back for several hours, and no one from her natal family came over, and no one even came to ask a question. The people who reached out to help, except for the village head and the old branch secretary, were all from the Xiao family , and the two of the oldest ones are younger.Looking at the big and three small ones left behind, I feel weird.No matter how annoying she is, no one wants to let her die.

How can this house be organized?

Yes, what about the eldest brother and three children?

It was also at night when the coffin was delivered, filled with people, carried to the cemetery and buried. There was no funeral or anything. She was young and died violently. She couldn't do it, so she was buried very simply. She died in the ancestral grave Those who are not allowed to enter have to be buried next to the ancestral grave.

The second sister-in-law took a few sisters-in-law, and asked the eighth aunt next door to help, arranged a meal, and sent all the helpers away without losing courtesy.The three children also went to sleep in the back room.It was already dark in the morning, and the whole family was in the outhouse, sitting on the kang, and looking for stools on the ground, crowded into a room, who dare not feel sleepy, have to think about what to do next?

The elder brothers are used to listening to the command of the fifth child, and the master is indeed the most promising in the family. The old man followed him and lived with Chu Ran, and now he has to talk, "Brother, take the children and come to the city with us. Right. My parents live in that house and we don’t live there now. You live there first. It’s convenient for your children to go to school, and your parents can take care of you. You can do whatever you want on the construction site. No matter what Can earn a living."

This word, he said yes, and the old couple would have scruples if they said it, and they would think about whether they were willing or not.But when he said so directly that the second elder would help take care of the child, the second elder must be willing in his heart.

But the eldest brother was unwilling, and shook his head, "I can live with my children. The eldest and second child have both gone to school, and the third child can also go to kindergarten starting next semester. The eldest and second child will go with them. I will not delay my work. Just cook the rice, and I will do it. I haven't helped you all these years, and I haven't been filial to my parents, so I can't make trouble for you anymore. "

Annoyed Father Xiao, he opened his mouth and scolded, "You bastard, what are you talking about. If you let you stay home with three children, your mother and I will miss you? We are two dead heads Gourd? It’s not your filial piety to let us stop worrying about you? These years, your brothers and daughters-in-law have been filial, and the old couple has nothing to say. I have to cry a few times, which one is not because of you? No matter how much your daughter-in-law is, and no matter what I do with your mother, I don’t want you to lose your home. The fifth arrangement is not for the child, but for you? Me and your mother? What are you so stubborn about?" The more he talked, the more he got angry, he took the broom to sweep the kang and hit the boss, no one stopped him, it was like that, it was true It's time to fight.

The boss endured it silently, and when his father was tired from beating him, he knelt down and told his parents, "Father, mother, my own life is not good, and I didn't marry a good wife. I have been coerced by her for these years, and I feel ashamed of you two elders and your younger brothers. It's not that I never thought about not getting along with her, but she can let go and make trouble, but I can't let go. Today, I should suffer Yes. I accept my fate. If I continue to drag you down, I won’t be at ease for the rest of my life.” As he spoke, he took out the passbook that had already been spent from his pocket, and pointed at Xiao Yu’s side, “Old Five, Big Brother knows that you have Menlu, you can help my brother buy a house or a shop in the city, and it will be reserved for the three children in the future."

The passbook was no longer usable, and besides it was so hidden, it was impossible for Chu Ran to let the master continue, so she said directly, "Brother, you can buy a house or shop, but the passbook has been soaked and needs to be replaced with a new one. Tomorrow we will take you to the bank to exchange for a new booklet."

Hearing what she said, brother Xiao put away the passbook again.Then he got up again, went to the kitchen to get a kitchen knife, and frightened the big guy. He thought he was going to do something, but he went straight to the kang, went to the bottom of the kang, raised the mat, and smashed the kang.

"Son, what are you doing? What are you doing picking up the kang? Where do we sleep at night?" Mrs. Xiao whispered softly, worried that her eldest son might be crazy.

Of course not.

After a few blows, a hole was smashed in the kang, and a tin box was taken out from it, which was exactly the four thousand silver dollars.

Boy, this place is well hidden.
