"What's the matter? What did Qinqin say, what happened? Why is there such a face?" Just as Chen Xiaohua put down the phone, Xiang Chen came up to him and asked carefully. It was Chen Xiaohua who answered the phone with a very ugly expression, which made Xiang Chen have to worry.

Chen Xiaohua gave Xiang Chen a guilty look, and told Xiang Chen everything Qinqin told her on the phone.

After Chen Fang made a fuss with Zhao Qinqin that day, there was nothing left to say. Although Zhao Qinqin was worried, she was at ease with Grandma Zhao's words. , don't be afraid this time.

Although we have to guard against the Chen family, life still has to go on, Zhao Qinqin's family still goes to work and goes to school as usual.

No one expected that Chen Youcai and Cai Zhen would be so courageous that they would sneak the door and pick the lock.

Because Qinqin's father had suffered a work-related injury in his early years, when Qinqin reached his age, he retired and gave his job to his daughter.Qinqin's mother has no job and has been taking care of the elderly and children at home. In addition to Grandma Zhao, there are usually three people staying behind in the Zhao family.

It was also a coincidence that Qinqin's mother suddenly received news from her hometown in the country that Qinqin's grandmother was ill, and Qinqin's father sent her back to her natal home, leaving only Grandma Zhao at home.

Chen Youcai stared at Zhao's house for two days without doing business, and finally seeing such an opportunity, he hurried home to look for Cai Zhen, and Cai Zhen followed after hearing about it.

The family home is said to be lively, but in the middle of the morning, people who go to work and go to school usually stay at home with old men and women doing some needlework to clean up the house, and there are not many people wandering outside.

Cai Zhen came over with Chen Youcai, still worrying about how to get Granny Zhao away. It happened that an old lady from the courtyard next door called Grandma Zhao at the gate, asking her to help her look at the shoes. Grandma Zhao closed the door and followed.

Cai Zhen and Chen Youcai were overjoyed, thinking that God was helping them when they saw that their property had been robbed.

The two entered the family courtyard on tiptoe. There was an old lady sitting at the door washing vegetables. She was old and her eyes were not good. She thought it was Qinqin's parents who came back, and greeted them: "Grandpa Zhuang Zhuang, why are you so angry?" Are you back early?"

When Chen Youcai was full of ambition, how could he be afraid that such an old lady who had lost all her teeth would give the old lady a fierce look, and said viciously: "It's none of your business! Damn old lady..."

Cai Zhen was still a little guilty, she replied vaguely, pushed Chen Youcai to let him not make trouble, the two of them ignored the stupid old lady who was being scolded, and went directly to Zhao's house.

Grandma Zhao just went to the yard next door. There were old neighbors in the yard, so she didn't even lock the door. She just closed it casually and hung the outside lock on it.

Chen Youcai fiddled with the lock, and found that the master key he brought was useless. He smiled complacently at Cai Zhen, thinking that everything went well for him today, and he was about to get rich.

The layout of each house in the family courtyard is similar. There are many Zhao family members. In addition to Qinqin's father's work-related injury and the factory's subsidies, their house is a small two-bedroom house with a size of about [-] square meters, which is larger than the Chen's house.

Cai Zhen glanced around jealously, touched this and looked there, and deliberately wiped the ashes she touched on the clean door curtain.

The Zhao family's room was also separated by a door curtain, and three beds were set up, which were Qinqin's parents, Zhao Qinqin's husband and wife, and Zhao's grandma sleeping with her two little grandchildren.

All their belongings are stored in their own space. For example, Zhao Qinqin placed two wooden boxes beside Zhao Qinqin's bed, which Sun Qi made for her. Inside were her and Sun Qi's clothes, as well as some important things of hers.

Chen Youcai was thinking about money, and searched after entering the door. The room was not big, so he turned around quickly, but found nothing.

Cai Zhen came to help, based on her usual experience of hiding things, she rummaged under the pillow under the mattress and under the bed, found a few coins wrapped in a handkerchief under Grandma Zhao's pillow, and Chen Youcai snatched it and stuffed it into her pocket .

But apart from these, they saw nothing of the big money they imagined.

The Zhao family did have more than this little money, but Chen Xiaohua really didn't send any money back to Zhao Qinqin, except Zhao Qinqin's private money, which was used as travel expenses for her at the beginning. Even if she gave it, Zhao Qinqin would not accept it.

Chen Youcai and Cai Zhen had always been certain that Zhao's family took Chen Xiaohua a lot of money, but they couldn't find it, so they were angry and anxious, cursing, and their hands became louder, and they even deliberately lifted up the family's mattress and threw it on the ground, searching for it at will. , trying to find where the money is hidden.

Soon Cai Zhen found two locked boxes, one by Zhao Qinqin's bedside, and the other in Qinqin's mother's room.

Chen Youcai took a few glances, then patted the new one: "Open this one first."

He thought that if he had money, he would definitely prefer to pack it in a good box, unlike that old one, the paint was almost peeling off, ugly and old.

In fact, that old box was passed on to Qinqin's mother by grandma Qinqin, and it contained the savings of the Zhao family. After saving for so many years, there are more than 1000 yuan, which is a huge sum of money.

Instead, the new box contained only some of Zhao Qinqin's beloved and important things, such as the fashionable silk scarf Xiang Chen sent her and locked it in the box because she was reluctant to use it, the harmonica Chen Xiaohua gave her, and the things they had been with over the years. Letters and more.

These are all Zhao Qinqin's treasures. However, after Chen Youcai opened the box, he was disappointed. He rummaged through the box randomly, not to mention a huge sum of money, he didn't even find a cent.

Chen Youcai was panting with anger, his eyes were red as if he was about to eat people, Cai Zhen hurriedly comforted him: "There is another box, let's open it and have a look."

Chen Youcai kicked the bed to vent his anger, then went back to look at the old box sullenly. He learned the lockpicking skill from a gangster, and he didn't learn it very well, and he opened it very slowly.However, the locks at this time are all old locks with a single style, which is easy to use.

He was in a bad mood at the moment, and his movements were unavoidably irritable, and unlocking was a delicate job, the more anxious he was, the harder it would be to open it.

While comforting him, Cai Zhen flipped through the letters in Zhao Qinqin's box. She thought she might just put the money in the envelope.

After opening a few letters, Cai Zhen unintentionally scanned the first few words: "...will be in the capital..."

Cai Zhen had studied before, and although she only went to elementary school, she could read a few words. She hurriedly called Chen Youcai to come and see.

Chen Youcai frowned and looked at it for a while. Nine-year elementary school was not a waste of time. At least he recognized some words, and read out the content half-bakedly and half-guessingly: "He said he would go to the capital to stay for a few months and meet a man named Xiang Chen. Sending the letter to the one surnamed Xiang probably meant that.”

"Bah, I just said that this brat is not a good guy, he must have abducted two white-eyed wolves!" Cai Zhen cursed when she heard Xiang Chen's name, Chen Youcai was still young when Xiang Chen left, so she didn't have much impression of this name , Cai Zhen still bears a grudge in her heart.

Chen Youcai asked curiously, "Who is Xiang Chen?"

"A little boy with no father and no mother." Cai Zhen said bluntly: "You were not born back then, and your grandma bought him from human traffickers for a lot of money to be our child. This white-eyed wolf actually called someone Deal with us, we are his savior!"

After speaking, Cai Zhen shook the letter paper and became angry again: "I didn't expect this little brat to go to the capital. It's a loss that I didn't kill him."

Chen Youcai rolled his eyes: "Then let's go find him, the capital is full of rich people, our family saved his life, so we can't give him any reward!"

Cai Zhen was stunned for a moment, her heart fluttered, and then she thought of Xu Hengzhou. She always thought that the Song family was a bit scary, and the way she looked at her was cold and condescending, just like she looked at the ants on the side of the road. , always makes people uncomfortable.

"Open the box first." Cai Zhen changed the subject, feeling very repulsed to deal with Xu Hengzhou.

"Mom, look for the address of that surname Xiang." Chen Youcai's mind was spinning quickly at this moment: "I think the time of the letter just now is very close. My third sister must still be at the house surnamed Xiang, so don't look for him. My sister can do it too."

Cai Zhen slapped her thigh, she didn't know Chen Xiaohua's address, otherwise she would have looked for it long ago.So he quickly searched, and soon found that a stack of envelopes placed alone contained a letter from the capital, and the last signature inside was Xiang Chen.

Cai Zhen folded the envelope and put it in her pocket, and went to urge Chen Youcai. Chen Youcai poked it into the keyhole with a thin wire, muttering: "Okay, okay."

Just at this time, Grandma Zhao came back. After she finished talking about the shoes with the old lady next door, the other family chatted about other gossips, so she stayed in the next door for a while.

Back in her own yard, the deaf and dazzled old lady at Dongtou said to her, "Grandma Qinqin, your son is back, why is he so fierce today, he even scolded me."

Grandma Zhao felt strange, her son had a good temper, why would he yell at his elders, and he came back too early.

She apologized to the grandmother next door, walked to her house, opened the door, and found that her house was turned into a mess.

Grandma Zhao was shocked, and rushed inside immediately. At this moment, Chen Youcai poked open the box, and before she had time to be happy, Grandma Zhao came in.

Sneaking into someone's house to rummage things, and bumping into the owner's house head-on, Cai Zhen felt guilty for a moment, but Chen Youcai was completely shameless, and even rummaged through the box in front of Grandma Zhao.

Grandma Zhao was so angry that she almost jumped up, she yelled loudly and stopped Chen Youcai, and then let Chen Youcai stagger.

Hearing this, Xiang Chen asked worriedly, "Is Grandma Zhao okay?"

Chen Xiaohua frowned and looked sad: "Qinqin said that she hurt her leg, but everything else is fine, but I think the old man is old, so he can't stand bumps."

It was her blood relatives who hurt others, but it was her benefactor who cared for her and treated her well. Even this innocent disaster was due to her, so Chen Xiaohua couldn't feel at ease.

"Then what about Cai Zhen and Chen Youcai? Are they arrested?" Xiang Chen called them by their first names, even if Chen Xiaohua didn't want to hear him say "your mother, your brother".

Chen Xiaohua was even more worried, and there was still a bit of anger on her face: "I caught it, but they didn't steal money when they killed it. They said they... missed me."

Chen Xiaohua was obviously disgusted when she said this, but she could only bear with it and continued: "But the Zhao family didn't want to tell the address, so they had to find it by themselves."

The police only found a few dollars of Grandma Zhao's money from Chen Youcai. They hadn't got the big money yet, and Cai Zhen had a letter from Chen Xiaohua in her pocket as evidence.

Cai Zhen's father even approached the leader of the machinery factory to mediate, saying that this is only a family matter, and the police comrades should handle it lightly.
