Chapter 63 Not your biological brother
Su Qiumei was worried that she read too quickly and missed the sentence about pensions.
She looked at it again, but the result was still nothing?
Why is it different from the plot in the book she knows?
Su Qiumei was a little panicked. If it was always different, then she was waiting day and night for the system to be bound...
No, she didn't dare to think about it any further. She couldn't accept that fact.
The old lady saw that Su Qiumei's face was getting worse and worse, thinking that she was too sad to hear the news that Su Tiecheng was gone.
The old lady couldn't bear to see her daughter who was so hurt that she felt so sad, so she comforted her:
"Daughter, I know that you and your third brother had the best time in the past, so don't be sad. Just think that your third brother is not your biological brother, and you won't be so sad."
Su Qiumei suddenly raised her head and looked at the old lady. When she saw on her face, she really didn't have that sad look on a mother who had lost her son. She believed it.
She was thinking, could this be a hidden plot?
"Mom, what's going on? Brother, does second brother know?"
"When your father picked up your third brother, your eldest brother was already four years old. He remembered things at that time, but your second brother probably didn't know.
If he was my biological child and the government came to arrest people to serve as soldiers, how could I be willing to let the youngest him go? "
The old lady took Su Qiumei's hand and patted it gently: "Although I raised him, he has never kissed me. Since he was a child, he has only kissed your father, and then you.
But it has been eight years since he left. If it weren't for the third daughter-in-law, my mother would have forgotten that she had such a son.
Su Qiumei is not the original body, so she has no feelings for the original Su Tiecheng. What's more, now it is said that he has no blood relationship with this body?
Even better, there is no need to even pretend to cry.
Su Qiumei recalled her original memory. No wonder, among all the Su family members, this Su Tiecheng looked the least like the Su family.
Not only he is tall, he is also very handsome. The original person always liked to play with him in the past, which is why he is so handsome.
"Mom, last time we went to town to sell dried mushrooms, I heard people talking about it in the restaurant.
He said that if someone dies as a soldier, their family will receive a pension, which is similar to the burial expenses. "
She was afraid that the old lady wouldn't understand, so she explained some things later.
"I didn't hear what the village chief said. Is it because the village chief has been cheated on?"
When she heard that her money might have been taken away by others, the old lady stood up and looked like she was going to the village chief to ask for money.
"Mom, I don't think the village chief is that kind of person." She couldn't say that the letter didn't mention it, so the village chief wasn't the one who took the money.
Su Qiumei could only stop the old lady.
Su Qiumei guessed that the person who wrote the letter should have taken the money.
I just don’t know who got it, the messenger? Or the people above Cycad City?
Only these people have the opportunity to take money without mentioning it in the letter.
"Then what should we do? Who should I ask? Report to the official?"
Su Qiumei shook her head: "There is only one mayor in charge of things in the town, and he can't take care of this. If we report it to the official, we have to go to the county to find the county magistrate.
The mountain is high and the emperor is far away. If the county magistrate is greedy for money.
We want to ask him to come and check. It is estimated that the money given to him is much more than the pension. What we are most afraid of is that even if we give him money, he will not really do things? "
There was too much darkness in ancient officialdom, especially the farther away from the emperor, the darker it became.
"Is this money just gone in vain?"
Su Qiumei nodded bitterly.
"Daughter, how much is that gold thing you mentioned?" Although the old lady knew that the silver would be hard to come by, she still asked without giving up.
Su Qiumei was so angry that she forgot to think about the old lady's cruel temper, and blurted out without thinking: "Ninety taels."
"What?" When the old lady heard this, her heart throbbed violently, her vision went dark, and she fell down.
"Mom, mother..." Su Qiumei hurriedly helped the old lady onto the bed, and then pinched her vagina hard.
In a big house.
"Second brother and sister, are you telling the truth?" After listening to what Wang said, Qian felt that what Wang said made sense.
"Of course, I saw it very seriously, and that's why I came to see you.
They acted like they were afraid of being seen by others. As soon as they got the letter back, they went into the house and closed the door tightly.
Do you think other than the third child, who else in our family can write letters to our family? "
"The third child has also been serving in the army for eight years. He has never sent any money to his family and has never come back. Now that he suddenly comes back with a letter, will he really send a banknote to his family?"
The more Qian thought about it, the more likely it was that the old lady would not let them know only about money matters.
"Let's go see the old lady. Didn't you just say that she looked bad when she came in? How can a daughter-in-law not care about her mother-in-law?"
"Yeah, yeah." Mrs. Wang also smiled and followed behind Ms. Qian.
The old lady woke up and heard Qian and Wang knocking on the door outside.
"Mom, how are you? Do you want to see them?" In this family, the only person Su Qiumei cares about is the old lady.
"Open the door! Tell them to call everyone back. When everyone is here, tell them that your third brother is gone."
The old lady was so weak that she seemed likely to faint again soon.
When she thought of the ninety taels of silver that she had never dared to think about in her entire life, she was so heartbroken that she shed tears.
And the tears were like a dam opening its gates. Once the gates were opened, they began to surge out.
Ninety taels of silver, ninety taels, can almost build an ordinary, larger brick house in the village.
Or, in the future, when my daughter gets married, a dowry will be given to her, and her daughter will be the first girl in the village to get married with a rich dowry.
From now on, in her husband's house, who would dare to look down on her daughter?
Is his role in raising Su Tiecheng so big just to prevent her son from having to serve as a soldier? She couldn't even get ninety taels of pension money. Wasn't her life in vain?
In the original memory, Su Qiumei had never seen the old lady shed tears many times. When she suddenly saw this, Su Qiumei felt unspeakably uncomfortable in her heart.
She couldn't tell whether this was the original feeling or hers? A voice in her heart told her that she wanted the old lady to be happy, so she would make more money in the future.
When everyone arrived, the old lady who saw them was already in tears.
Everyone was frightened by the appearance of the old lady. Wang and Qian looked at each other. Isn't it about money?
If the old lady got the money, she would definitely smile so hard that her mouth would not be flat.
Li Qingluo and Su Ling looked at each other. Would the old lady be so sad after receiving the news that Su Tiecheng was gone?
