The soft white moonlight of the paranoid gangster at 80

“It’s not worth anything if it’s broken.”

Jiang Chen's simple words successfully made Ruan Dajiang stop.

In order to prevent Ruan Xiuxiu from escaping again, Ruan Dajiang tied Ruan Xiuxiu tightly with hemp rope and locked her in the granary.

There are no windows in the granary, only a door. Once the door is locked from the outside, Ruan Xiuxiu will be unable to fly even with her wings.

After learning that Ruan Xiuxiu was locked up, the father and daughter did not speak for a while.

Ruan Xiuxiu is purely self-inflicted and deserves no sympathy at all.

After sitting for a while, Ruan gently pulled Jiang Chen to accompany her to the toilet.

Because of the experience of being bitten by a mouse when she was a child, Ruan Qingqing had a great shadow of the dry toilets in the countryside. In addition, it was night, and there were no electric lights in the toilets. It was dark and eerie. If he couldn't hold it in any longer, he would She really didn't want to go to the bathroom.

With Jiang Chen guarding the door and holding a flashlight for her, Ruan Qingqing felt safe for the first time when going to the toilet in a rural area.

After using the toilet, Ruan Qingqing did not return to the mourning hall immediately, but asked Jiang Chen about the 5000 yuan.

Although she didn't think Jiang Chen would be deceived, she felt at ease after asking clearly.

Jiang Chen looked at her with a smile in his black eyes, "Sister, there is only one person in this world who can defraud me of my money."

"Who?"

"you."

Ruan lightly blushed.

The light was too dark, Jiang Chen couldn't see the expression on her face clearly, but he could guess that her cheeks must be red. He loved his sister's shy look very much.

If the timing wasn't right, he would have really wanted to hold her in his arms and kiss her tenderly.

……

Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and with Li Yulian's body buried, the funeral was finally over.

After the funeral banquet, everyone sat down to discuss supporting Ruan Hongfa.

Some relatives of the Ruan family and village director Guo Degang were also present, as well as some villagers watching the fun.

Ruan Dajiang was the first to express his plan: "According to the rules, I am the boss and I should provide for the old man until his death. My idea is that from now on, the old man will live with me and Guilan. Dahai, you will give the old man [-] yuan in living expenses every month." .”

After saying this, the relatives and villagers present looked at each other in shock.

Guo Degang said, "Isn't one hundred a month too much?"

One hundred a month, which is one thousand two a year. Most families in the village do not have this income in a year.

Relatives also spoke fair words to me.

"Three and fifty yuan a month is enough. During the holidays, I can buy some food and clothing."

"Yeah, the old man can't eat much."

Ruan Dajiang turned a deaf ear to the sounds around him and only stared at Ruan Dahai, "Dahai, say something."

Liu Guilan and her husband were of the same mind, "Dahai, you run a factory and earn tens of thousands of yuan a year. It is easy for you to use one thousand and two yuan to support your old man."

Ruan Qingqing sneered in her heart, one thousand and two dollars a year was as much as a young man could earn from working part-time in a year. It was clear that she regarded her father as a cash cow.

"Mom, my father's income and the expense of supporting my grandpa are two different things. If he earns more, he needs to pay more. If he earns less, can he pay less or not at all?"

This was recognized by relatives and villagers.

We are not fools, so how can we not see that Ruan Dajiang and his wife's plan is nothing more than to get more benefits in the name of supporting the elderly.

One thousand and two dollars a year, the couple really dares to think.Ruan Qingqing was too lazy to talk nonsense with Ruan Dajiang's family and directly took the initiative. "Put aside the alimony issue first and talk about grandma's funeral expenses first."

In front of everyone, Ruan Qingqing listed the costs of the coffin, building the mourning hall, candles and paper wax, burial, and funeral banquet. The final total cost was 570.

"Uncle and aunt, please take out the silk money and settle the accounts for grandma's funeral first."

Liu Guilan reluctantly went back to the house, took out the money bag containing the silk money, and poured the money on the table.

"It's all here."

Looking at the pitifully few bills on the table, Ruan Qingqing sneered in her heart.

Relatives of each family plus people in the village, there are at least forty or fifty families giving gifts. Even if one family only gives ten yuan, it is still four to five hundred.

But the money on the table is probably enough for three hundred.

Ruan Qingqing was too lazy to talk to Liu Guilan and took out the account book recording the silk money.

"In my free time in the past two days, I kept a record of the silk money sent by each household. I received a total of [-] silk gold."

In the face of Ruan Dajiang and his wife, who looked as ugly as eating shit, Ruan quietly settled the accounts, "...Auntie, you need to give my dad 620 nine yuan."

After hearing Ruan's gentle report and looking at the silk gold on the table, which was obviously half missing, the relatives looked at the couple with contempt.

I haven't paid a penny for my mother's funeral, and she still wants black silk and gold, and her appearance is too ugly.

In full view of everyone, Ruan Dajiang's face turned pale and red, but he was really thick-skinned. While asking Liu Guilan to put away the silk gold on the table, he said to Ruan Dahai: "You know what's going on in my family. I'll spend this money for a while." Give it to you again.”

Ruan said softly, "Uncle, since you are tight on money, you don't have to give this money to my dad."

Hearing this, the couple couldn't help but be secretly happy. However, the words Ruan Qingqing said later completely extinguished the couple's secret joy——

"Just think of it as the alimony that my father paid to my grandfather. The amount will be deducted according to the monthly amount."

The couple was reluctant, but could not refute.

Ruan Qingqing continued to talk about alimony, "My father will bear half of grandpa's monthly food and clothing expenses, including the cost of grandpa's medicine and medical treatment in the future."

This is fair, and relatives and village directors nodded in agreement.

Ruan Dajiang's face turned ugly.

All the family's money was defrauded, and his mother died. He could only make up for the loss by getting some money from his younger brother through the old man.If he went by what his niece said, he wouldn't be able to make a penny off.

This doesn't work!
Ruan Dajiang couldn't sit still, "Dahai, if you think the alimony of one hundred is too high, tell us the number and we will discuss it."

Ruan Dahai looked at Ruan Hongfa with a withered face and felt very uncomfortable.

During the days of the funeral, Ruan Hongfa barely said a word. He either sat in a daze every day, or looked at Li Yulian's portrait and wiped his tears. He seemed to have aged ten years in an instant.

As a widower who lost his wife early in life, he can understand Ruan Hongfa's grief.

He stood up and walked to Ruan Hongfa, "Dad, from now on I will give you [-] monthly expenses. If you don't want to farm anymore, you can come and live with us in the city, okay?"

Ruan Hongfa raised his sunken gray eyes, looked at Ruan Dahai for a while, and nodded.

Ruan Dajiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fifty a month is seven hundred and fifty a year. With this income, their family's life can be much easier.

Just when everyone thought that the alimony matter was settled, Ruan Hongfa suddenly stood up tremblingly and said something.

One update for the next few days. I want to take a good rest for two days. Then I need to save the manuscript for another book. I will resume two updates when I get better.
