Quick Wear: I've never been a good person

Chapter 175: Becoming a Blackmail Tool in the 7th Generation (8)

Li's mother was kneading the dough vigorously. It was not pure white flour, but reddish-brown in color.

This is how the wheat flour is here, ground into flour together with the husk.

Rice is the staple food for people in the south, so they don’t grow much wheat, most of which is used to pay the public tax.

Even if some of the dough is left, they won’t be used to make any noodle products. At most, they can be used to make pancakes or tung leaf cakes.

When Li's mother saw Shuangshuang got up so early, she asked in surprise.

"Why did you wake up?"

"I remembered to get some dry food for Brother Manyi, but I didn't expect you to be here before me."

Mother Li sighed, “I was used to it before.

His family was poor at that time, so he went out to join the army when he was less than 16 years old.

I remember the first time I went out, there was really nothing to eat at home.

Before leaving, I cooked some sweet potatoes for him and put them in my pocket.

He even boasted about this to us when he came back to visit his family.

He was considered relatively lucky, as many of his comrades boarded the train with empty stomachs and nothing in their hands.

Later, with his financial support, the family's life became better and better.

Every time I go out, I try to find a way to get some more dry food.

No matter whether the food is delicious or not, we can’t let him starve in the car.”

Shuangshuang stepped forward to take over Li's mother's work, "Mom, it's still early, why don't you go back to your room and rest for a while."

Mother Li shook her head. "Don't get your hands dirty. I'm almost done. Just watch the fire."

After the eggs were cooked, Shuangshuang put the pot on the stove and boiled a pot of water.

After the water boils, fill Li Manyi's military kettle first.

He quickly baked a dozen pancakes in the small pan on the stove at the back, wrapped them in oil paper, and put them in his bag along with three eggs.

When Li Manyi woke up, his mother quickly gave him some noodles.

Li Manyi was used to it and always told his mother not to get up so early.

Nowadays, you can buy food on the train, but she just doesn't believe it because she is worried that she will go hungry.

After eating, I quickly left the house with a heavy heart of maternal love.

After seeing him off, Shuangshuang finally pulled the little orange out.

"Little Orange, it's time to get to work. Go check on Wu Tiezhu and Liu Zhaodi and see how much private property they've hidden."

Speaking of this, Little Orange became interested.

"I thought Liu Zhaodi took your man's 100 yuan betrothal gift and just gave it away for free."

"Do you think this is possible? Come on, don't say anything and get to work."

Soon Xiaojuzi came back and said to Shuangshuang angrily.

"That Wu Tiezhu is really not a human being."

"what happened?"

“He’s rich, he’s very rich!

I counted them and there were more than 600 yuan!

And he not only has money, I also saw that he has a wooden box full of gold bars and silver dollars.

But he actually didn't give money to save the original owner's wife's life. That's really too much."

After hearing this, Shuangshuang fell into deep thought.

There is such a passage deep in the original owner's memory.

Wu Tiezhu was not at home in the middle of the night, and there was a sudden thunder and heavy rain that night.

The original owner was so scared that she went to look for her parents, only to find that her mother was the only one at home.

At that time, her mother hugged the original owner and cried silently, whispering softly.

"If your uncle were still alive, he wouldn't dare to bully us so blatantly."

At that time, the original owner was frightened by the thunder and didn't think too much about it.

But according to the original owner's later memory, Wu Tiezhu at that time should have already hooked up with Liu Zhaodi.

It's just that Liu Zhaodi's man was still fine at that time, but in order to beat the big guys, it was common for him not to come back for three to five days.

If you count it this way, it's not certain whose father Chen Dabao, the so-called posthumous child, is.

According to the original owner's memory, her mother did not look like an ordinary peasant woman from a farming family.

If this is true, then it will be clear who those gold bars and silver dollars belong to.

If it really was the original owner's mother, then her death would not be so simple.

After all, no matter how underdeveloped medical care is, it is impossible to cure a minor cold.

The original owner's mother couldn't run away, and couldn't even run out to shout for help.

Put these aside for now and keep asking.

"What about Liu Zhaodi?"

"Good boy, Liu Zhaodi also has money, and she has even more, as much as seven or eight hundred yuan.

She even cries about being poor every day, and doesn't let the original owner go to school. That's really too much!"

"Okay, don't be angry. No matter how much is saved, it's still ours."

"It's true!"

At night, when everyone in the Li family was asleep, Shuangshuang followed Xiaojuzi to Wujia Village.

He quietly collected all the money and the small wooden box that Xiaojuzi mentioned.

Before leaving, Shuangshuang suddenly remembered that after Liu Zhaodi came in, she snatched a jade pendant from the original owner's neck.

Now the jade pendant should be worn around the neck of her daughter Chen Daya.

"Xiaojuzi, go take a look around Chen Daya's neck. Is there a half-moon-shaped jade pendant?"

"She didn't have it on her neck, but Chen Dabao did."

"Okay, as long as it's there, no matter whose neck it's on."

Shuangshuang quickly went to Chen Dabao's room and took off the jade pendant.

I didn't think of carrying it with me, so I put it in my main body space for the time being.

After returning to Li's house, he lay down and went to sleep as if nothing had happened. No one noticed that he had gone out at all.

The next day, when Shuangshuang woke up, He Xiangcao and Li's mother had already prepared breakfast.

They thought Shuangshuang got up late because she couldn't sleep because Li Manyi left.

No one blamed her, He Xiangcao said softly.

"Sister-in-law, hurry up and wash up and come over for breakfast."

After dinner, the family went to school or work as usual.

Only Shuangshuang has never gone to work.

Li's mother thought she was too thin because she had done too much work in the past.

Therefore, as long as she helps take care of the house, it will be fine. After all, she has the work points for the whole family, so she will not starve.

Since the Li family members were so kind, Shuangshuang had no intention of going to the fields to show her presence.

So Shuangshuang continued to raise chickens, feed pigs and clean the yard at home as usual.

Of course, with the gossip-loving Little Orange around, we watched a good show early in the morning.

Wu Tiezhu was half asleep when he heard Chen Dabao running into their room and yelling.

"Dad, Mom, our house was robbed!"

Liu Zhaodi jumped up and said, "What's wrong? Don't be anxious, just talk."

"My jade pendant is missing."

Wu Tiezhu was the most annoyed and shouted.

"It's so noisy so early in the morning. The jade pendant is missing and you don't know how to find it!"

"I looked, even under the bed, but I couldn't find it."

Liu Zhaodi was very anxious after hearing this, because she knew that the jade pendant looked transparent.

Don’t think that these gold, silver and jade items are worthless because people nowadays think that cutting them off is a capitalist tail.

It should have been worth a lot of money in the old society.

"Did you drop it when you went out yesterday and didn't notice?"

"No way, I was touching it before I went to sleep."

So the couple couldn't sleep anymore and got up to find the jade pendant for him.
