Chuan Shu 80: I am doing scientific research on the island

Chapter 22 The Great Secret

She was illiterate, but she only knew that the place with the big green tube was the post office, where she could contact people.

What are they doing here?
Dissatisfied with her father-in-law, she drove Zhao Yuqin to follow him to see what happened.

She hid behind the pillar and saw her father-in-law and the old branch secretary muttering to each other. The person in the window handed them a piece of paper and took out a wad of banknotes.

The two looked around nervously, and when they walked to a corner where no one was around, Lu Youshan took out a few tickets and handed them to the old branch secretary.

This scene fell into Zhao Yuqin's eyes, her palms and forehead were sweaty from nervousness, and there were a hundred question marks in her mind.

The two didn't stay too long. After sharing the money and going out, one went east and the other went west. They parted ways as if they didn't know each other.

Unable to bear curiosity, Zhao Yuqin went to the window tremblingly, summoned up courage and asked, "Excuse me..."

"Comrade, do you want to send it by regular mail or registered mail?"

"I-I'm not..."

Zhao Yuqin was so panicked that she was sweating, mumbling, and couldn't say a complete sentence for a long time.

"Don't be nervous, speak slowly."

The attitude of the other party was very good, probably because she had seen a lot of bumpkins like her who had never seen the world. It was clearly a good intention, but in Zhao Yuqin's eyes, it became a mockery.

"I'm from the island, my father Lu..." She raised her voice.

"Oh, Lu Yunting's letter has been taken away, who are you?"

Ok?
Zhao Yuqin's eyes widened in surprise, "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law."

"Someone just took away Comrade Lu Yunting's letter and the salary he sent back..."

"Work, work, wages?"

"Yes, 50 yuan per month."

Fifty?

???

Zhao Yuqin almost dropped her jaw. Lu Yunting sends 50 yuan home every month?

God, why so much money?What is he doing outside?Printing money?
After thanking the salesperson, Zhao Yuqin left the post office in a daze.

My dear, Lu Yunting is so rich, fifty per month, one year is... just...

It took a long time to figure out that 51 and [-] were added up, and it was [-] yuan a year.

One thousand eight hundred yuan for three years. Oh my God, she had never seen so much money in her life.

This money... All this money went into the pockets of the father-in-law and the old branch secretary? !

Upon discovering this shocking secret, Zhao Yuqin was so frightened that her scalp went numb, she covered her mouth and did not move for a long time.

No wonder the old dog smokes [-] cents a pack of cigarettes.

No wonder Lu Chunjuan, who is lazy and greedy, often eats cakes and jelly beans.

No wonder the old party secretary could afford a sewing machine, a bicycle, and a new watch on his wrist.

These may be spent on Lu Yunting's money. Poor his parents died on the kang because they had no money for medical treatment. If he knew...

Zhao Yuqin returned to the alley in dismay. At this time, most of the conch shells were still unsold.

Those who bought it went home and found that there were a lot of dead and smelly knockoffs mixed in, and they all came back to settle accounts with Lu Zhiqiang, almost smashing his stall.

At this time, he was squatting on the ground, picking and complaining to his mother. He couldn't steal the chicken and lost the rice.

Zhao Yuqin sat down on the ground.

"Why did you come back so quickly?"

When he turned around and saw his wife's pale face, Lu Zhiqiang was shocked.

"Why are you dripping? What happened? Are you sick?"

Zhao Yuqin's eyes finally focused on her husband, she couldn't help but sneered, "Lu Zhiqiang, Lu Zhiqiang, you idiot, your parents sold you, and you still help them count the money."

The boss Lu Zhiqiang was unhappy and pouted and said, "Don't bury me. Why did my father and mother offend you? You are the daughter-in-law and you should respect them. Don't say bad things about my parents all day long."
