Rebirth: The whole family travels through time together: Fubao Koi is busy eating melons
Chapter 155 Absconding with Money
Whenever this matter is mentioned, Old Man Zhang feels like there is a fire in his chest. When Zhang Dawa boasted about himself, he was half-believing and half-doubting.
Unexpectedly, the family members were completely fooled by the kid, especially his mother. Wherever she went, she praised her grandson for being extremely smart and saying that he would soon become the top scorer in the imperial examination and be appointed as a marquis or a prime minister.
Many people in the village actually believed it and were eagerly awaiting the results of the county examination.
As a result, good news came that Zhang Sanwa from Zhangjia Village quietly got the first place in the exam, while Zhang Dawa, let alone getting the top spot, didn't even make the list!
This time, Old Man Zhang's family lost all face. There have been rumors about them outside for the past few days. Old Mrs. Zhang and her family didn't even dare to go out, for fear of being pointed at.
The money was gone, and the face was also lost. The instigator of all this, Zhang Dawa, even had a sour face towards the family. He spent the whole day eating and lying down. How could old man Zhang not be angry when seeing this?
Although Old Man Zhang's words were harsh, no one in the family dared to refute them. After all, these were indisputable facts. After the family split up, life was indeed very tight.
Zhang Dawa heard it clearly in the house, and his eyes flashed with coldness and resentment.
This hatred is not only directed at his second uncle and third uncle, but also includes his own parents and grandparents.
In his opinion, if his second and third uncles had not caused the family business to split up, he would have been able to live a good life even without studying, and the villagers would not have laughed at him.
If his parents and grandparents were not incompetent and could not hire better teachers, he would not have failed even a small county exam.
It's all their fault, I'm not at fault at all!
Just wait, when he becomes successful and holds power in the future, he will make them pay!
The night was as dark as ink, quietly shrouding Zhangjia Village. Zhang Dawa took advantage of the cover of darkness and quietly sneaked into the old woman's room and swept away all the money that old lady Zhang had saved with great difficulty.
The next morning, Mrs. Zhang discovered that her grandson was missing and all the money in the house was gone.
Just when she was extremely anxious and was about to report to the police, Old Man Zhang found a note in his son's room.
After asking someone to read it, we found out that the silver was taken away by Zhang Dawa. He said in the note that Chengguan County was too small and there was no future for him. He wanted to go to a more prosperous place to make a living, and asked the Zhang family to wait for the day when he would return home in glory.
When Zhang Dawa left, it was as if he had disappeared from the face of the earth. No one in the village knew where he had gone.
His absconding with the money was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for the Zhang family.
At first, they couldn't believe it. They pulled their neighbors together and searched almost every corner of Chengguan County, but they couldn't find even a hair of Zhang Dawa. They were left with a series of unanswered questions and deep despair floating in the wind.
After some difficult inquiries, I finally learned from a seemingly inconspicuous old man in a teahouse on the corner of the street that Zhang Dawa was actually following a caravan loaded with goods and crowded with merchants, heading towards the unparalleled prosperous city.
The provincial capital was a place that people longed for. Its prosperity was so different from the small county town where they lived that it was hard to imagine.
The old couple of the Zhang family lived in a small village all their lives. They couldn't even see the outline of the county town clearly, let alone go to the distant and unfamiliar provincial capital to look for their son. To others, this idea was undoubtedly a fantasy.
The family looked at each other in despair, and could only swallow the pain silently, dragging their heavy steps back to the familiar yet slightly dilapidated home.
When I opened the door, a feeling of coldness and desolation hit me in the face. The rice jar at home was empty. The few remaining grains of rice made faint echoes at the bottom of the jar, as if telling of the hardships of life.
The couple began to search around their home, hoping to find some forgotten copper coins to solve their urgent problem.
After some effort, they only found a few lonely copper coins scattered in the corner, which looked particularly desolate.
Just when the two of them were looking worried, the two sons of the Zhang family, the second and third sons, seemed to have telepathic connection and appeared at the door almost at the same time, each carrying a heavy bag of grain.
They didn't say much, but just silently put the food on the ground, then turned and left, leaving behind a firm and warm back.
Although Mrs. Zhang secretly blamed her sons for not giving enough, she was more grateful. She was thinking about when to ask her two sensible sons for help again.
This scene was seen by the villagers, and they all gave thumbs up to Zhang Laoer and Zhang Laosan. They felt sorry for them for having such a pair of worry-free parents, and also admired them for their loyalty and righteousness.
Those families who usually followed the second brother to work felt even more at ease, thinking that such a filial person would definitely treat outsiders like them well. Following the second brother was definitely the right thing to do!
At the same time, in Xu Liyun's parents' home, a storm was quietly brewing.
The cause of this incident was that several daughters-in-law who had married into Wuli Village accidentally witnessed and spread the news when they returned to their parents' home to visit.
When they were visiting the Xu family, they happened to witness the outbreak of the family storm.
The story began because Xu Guishan owed a large debt, and the creditor came to his door and demanded repayment.
The Xu family was already poor, and Xu Guishan was heavily in debt. How could Old Xu come up with so much money?
When the creditor was about to take Xu Guishan away to pay off the debt, Xu Guishan suddenly announced that his mother had secretly hidden a large sum of silver.
When these words were spoken, not only Old Xu was shocked, but even the villagers who were watching cast curious glances at him.
Naturally, Xu's mother flatly denied it. She was so angry at her son's words that she asked the creditor to take her son away to pay off the debt.
"What happened next? What happened next?"
Someone in the crowd couldn't wait to ask.
The daughter-in-law who was telling the story secretly glanced at Xu Liyun and saw that she was also curious and had no intention of defending her parents, so she continued: "Xu Guishan is also a ruthless character. Seeing that his own mother would not help him, he simply led the creditors into his parents' bedroom and forcibly searched out all the private money that my mother had hidden!"
When everyone heard this, they were all dumbfounded. Could it be that Xu's mother really had hidden the money?
"That was a huge sum of money, and Xu Guishan only used half of it to pay off all his debts. Aunt Xu cried and begged not to touch the money, but the creditor brought many helpers, and no matter how she struggled, the money was forcibly taken away. We all thought that the matter was over, but as soon as the creditor left, Uncle Xu asked about the source of the money. Aunt Xu hesitated and tried to put all the blame on Xu Guishan, saying that he got the money. Xu Guishan was unwilling to take the blame, and the mother and son quarreled in front of everyone and almost came to blows."
The daughter-in-law told the story vividly, as if she were re-enacting the scene.
The wealth of unknown origin was too conspicuous, and eventually, under repeated questioning by Old Xu and Xu Guishan, Xu's mother accidentally leaked the secret.
