Chapter 1037: Evil people have their own trials and tribulations
Hearing this, Old Lady Xu smiled awkwardly, "I... I'm far away, I don't know where they are, how can I care? But if they come back and don't see me, it's wrong, it's unfilial."
Aunt Xu was stunned when she heard this. Her face turned pale with anger. She snatched the basket from Old Lady Xu's hands and said, "I originally thought that Second Xu's arrogance was unprovoked, but now I know the root of the problem lies with you. You are heartless!"
Old Mrs. Xu's expression kept changing. She thought that she had offended her distant sister-in-law and that her life would be difficult in the future. If she didn't give Zhang Xiufang's money, wouldn't she be at a disadvantage?
"Sister-in-law, don't be angry, I just miss Chongyang too much. It's a pity that I haven't refused for a long time. I really miss it."
Aunt Xu's anger subsided a little. "Forget it. You can't count on your youngest son anyway. Maybe you can still count on Chongyang in the future. We've been sisters for decades. If you don't listen to my heartfelt words, that's your problem."
After saying that, Aunt Xu took the steamed buns down, placed them on the stone mill in the yard, and left in a hurry.
Old Mrs. Xu looked at Aunt Xu's back as she left, and quickly opened the red envelope, which actually contained a thousand yuan.
Just as she was about to pretend, she saw Xu Laoer's wife, Wang Hongmei, rush in and snatch the red envelope from her mother-in-law's hand. "Where did you get this? You old woman, you actually hid the money? Don't you know that your second son is almost beaten to death by that bitch Zhang Xiufang?"
As Wang Hongmei spoke, she opened the red envelope and found that there was actually one thousand yuan inside.
Old Mrs. Xu felt distressed and wanted to snatch the red envelope away, "Hongmei, that's mine, give it back to me quickly."
"Yours? Which one is yours? This is all mine. You eat and drink our food, and you still want to save your own money. You are such a greedy old woman. Your son is in pain all over his body. Take him to the hospital. This money will be used as medical expenses."
After saying that, Wang Hongmei turned around and left, running very fast.
Old Mrs. Xu was so angry that she sat on the ground, slapped her thigh, and cried with tears and snot.
After getting the money, Wang Hongmei quickly pulled the cart and took Xu Laoer to the county hospital.
After examination and X-ray, except for serious skin injuries, everything else was fine.
The bodyguards acted with discretion, only teaching Xu Lao Er a lesson, not killing him.
Upon learning that his mother had a thousand yuan, Xu Laoer immediately sat up from his bed and said, "Zhang Xiufang must have sent her the money, but she can't read. Where can she get the money?"
Wang Hongmei thought for a moment, "I saw the Party Secretary's wife go to your mother's house... Could it be that Zhang Xiufang sent the money to Party Secretary Xu, and then he took it out and asked his wife to deliver it to your mother?"
When Xu Laoer heard this, he thought of Zhang Xiufang coming to worship the ancestors today, and Secretary Xu was also there. He immediately ignored the pain in his body and said, "Let's go back. I need to ask clearly."
Wang Hongmei held him back, "The doctor said you need to heal the wound. Otherwise, it will rupture and you'll have to spend a lot of money and suffer. Your mother can't get away anyway. When you're better, we'll go back and ask."
The couple was shameless and tried their best to squeeze out every last bit of value from Old Mrs. Xu.
Sure enough, a week later, when Xu Laoer came back, he went to ask his mother.
Old Mrs. Xu was extremely scared in front of her son, and she told him everything like pouring beans out of a bamboo tube.
"How much do you get paid per month?" asked Xu Lao Er.
Old Mrs. Xu replied: "Fifty!"
"Zhang Xiufang is so rich, how could she have so little?" Xu Laoer's voice suddenly rose. "Did that old village chief embezzle it?"
Old Mrs. Xu hesitated. "I don't know either. Anyway... that's all."
Xu Lao Er stretched out his hand, "Give it to me."
"What should I give you?" Old Mrs. Xu was puzzled and took two steps back, feeling uneasy.
Xu Lao Er frowned, "Of course it's money. Even if it's fifty a month, that's six hundred a year. Calculating it over four years, that's two thousand four. I don't want two thousand four, just give me two thousand."
Old Lady Xu was dumbfounded. She pointed at Old Second Xu and cursed, "You bastard! I work for you, and you don't give me food. I don't want to eat? Am I supposed to live on wind?"
Xu Lao Er looked embarrassed. "How much can an old lady like you eat? You don't know how to live at all. I'll get the money from the branch secretary later. Oh, is there only fifty? Is our money being withheld by the branch secretary?"
Originally angry, Old Lady Xu was about to curse, but when she heard her son's relief, her eyes rolled, "Who knows! I can only give you a thousand this time, fifty a month, which is indeed a bit low. Go ask!"
Xu Lao Er nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go ask. All the money I get will be mine."
Old Mrs. Xu thought for a moment and said, "Good things should be kept within the family. If you can take it, it's yours, but you must give me fifty yuan every month. If you don't, I, the Party Secretary, will tell Zhang Xiufang not to send it anymore."
Xu Laoer felt that his mother had become treacherous, but this was not the time to dwell on it. "I'll go to the Party Secretary's house first."
Xu Laoer ran to Secretary Xu's house, crying and making a fuss, "You embezzled all the money my sister-in-law sent me. I'm going to report you..."
So many people surrounded Secretary Xu, making him so angry that he gritted his teeth and said, "Second Xu, you are a coward. Fine, you said I embezzled money, I will show you the remittance slip..."
After saying that, Secretary Xu returned to the house, took out the remittance slip, and threw it to Xu Laoer. "Take a look. I've been sending it since three years ago. It's only fifty yuan every month! If you don't believe me, go to the post office and check."
Xu Lao Er checked and found that it was indeed fifty per month. He laughed like a fool and said, "It's all because of my mother. She doesn't want to eat or drink, and always feels that the money is not enough."
"Get out!" Secretary Xu shouted angrily and ordered people to kick out Xu Laoer. He was very disgusted with the fact that Old Lady Xu had leaked the information about sending money.
People like this have no idea what's going on in their heads and should starve to death.
When Secretary Xu returned to the house, he wrote a letter to his son and asked him to forward it to Zhang Xiufang to tell her about the situation at home.
After receiving the letter, Zhang Xiufang handed it to Xu Chongyang and asked, "Chongyang, what do you think we should do?"
After reading it, Xu Chongyang pondered for a moment, "Mom, you have no obligation to my grandma. Don't pay any attention to her, and don't send her money. I'm Dad's son, and I have grandma's blood in me. From now on, I'll deduct fifty from my pocket money every month and give it to my grandma. I'll take care of her in her old age on behalf of my mom. As for who she gives the money to, that's her freedom. Even if she starves to death or dies of exhaustion in the future, it has nothing to do with us."
After hearing what her son said, Zhang Xiufang smiled and said, "Okay, this is your business."
Xu Chongyang nodded, "Yeah!"
Xu Chongyang is the best evidence that Xu Jianguo has ever been in this world, and he is also the most precious person.
Similarly, Xu Chongyang did not let down his blood ties with Xu Jianguo.
Liu Meilan was right next to him and patted Xu Jianguo on the head. "Boy, you are very good, responsible, and not foolishly filial."
