Chapter 369
After the refugees settled their families, Chenjia Village has another scene: thatched houses on the river.

In order to survive, the refugees planned to open up wasteland and reclaim land, but there were no crops in the north. They asked the local villagers. Seeds such as wheat can only be bought in the city. Southerners seldom grow these, so they planned to go to the city I bought some here, but the money they brought out was almost used up.what should I do?Immediately, a villager said that they could borrow it from Qinglu. Qinglu was a rich man in Chenjia Village. The refugees sent two respected old men to look for Qinglu. to them.

"Mr. Zhou, we want to buy some seeds, but we don't have any money. Can we borrow some from your family first?"

"How much do you want?" Zhou Wenqian just paid his salary a few days ago for the sake of face. If the refugees don't need much, he can make the decision.

"At least it costs ten taels of silver. We have about a hundred families." The refugee representative said.

Twelve taels of silver is nothing to Qinglu, but to Zhou Wenqian, it is a huge amount, but for the sake of saving face, he had to search in the drawer, only to realize that the 12 taels of silver that Qinglu gave every month were all taken away. He spent it all, he was embarrassed to come out, so he rummaged in the drawer, and he found a 20 tael bank note, which Qinglu planned to buy daily necessities for the children, and he didn't tell him, he thought It was kept so hidden, Qinglu must have forgotten it, so she took it and gave it to the refugees.The refugees were very grateful and said they would definitely return the money if they had it.

That night, Zhou Wenqian forgot to tell Qinglu about the refugee borrowing money. A few days later, Qinglu planned to ask Chen Bopi to go to the city to buy some things, so she went to look for the drawer. The whole drawer was taken out of the cabinet. I've looked for them all, but the 20 taels of banknotes have disappeared.

"Xiaozi, do you remember where I put the 20 taels of silver notes?" Qinglu called Xiaozi, who knew where Qinglu kept a lot of money.

"Didn't you put it at the bottom of the drawer?" Xiaozi said softly.

"No, I've searched all over." Qinglu shook her head.

"Could it be a thief?" Xiaozi said in amazement, "Could it be that refugees came in and stole your money?"

"Impossible, we have Ah Da and the others guarding our house, not even a fly can get in." Qinglu shook her head, "The refugees don't seem like criminals, they don't know where my money is, It’s impossible to just take that bank note.”

"Then?" Xiaozi was surprised, "Could it be a family member?"

"I think I know who it is." Qinglu was extremely calm, she guessed it must be Zhou Wenqian, he had done such a thing before, and after he explained it, she forgave him.

That night, when Zhou Wenqian wanted to make out with Qinglu, Qinglu avoided him, he approached again, and Qinglu avoided again.

"Qinglu, what's the matter with you today?" Zhou Wenqian was puzzled. Although Qinglu was angry with him before, she would still make husband and wife rituals with him. This time it's very strange.

Qinglu sat down and looked at him calmly, "Wen Qian, have you played with those teachers again recently, haven't you?" Didn't he say that he would not play around this year and just go home to farm obediently?It seems that the man's words are really unbelievable.

"No, how can you think of me like that?" Zhou Wenqian was very angry, crossing his arms and said, "I am also a teacher after all, and I will definitely do what I said. You can't look down on me like this."

"Then why did the 20 taels of silver note I put on the bottom of the drawer disappear?" Qinglu was certain that Zhou Wenqian had taken it away.

"Qinglu, you say I'm a thief?" Zhou Wenqian forgot about giving money to the refugees, and when he heard that Qinglu didn't trust him, he immediately exploded, "I Zhou Wenqian, how can an upright man do such Sneaking things? I will definitely tell you if I really want to take it. "

"Wen Qian, you don't have to be so excited. That's the money I made clothes for the children. You know, as the two children grow up, they can't wear the clothes they used to wear. I also thought about making them bigger clothes. , but they are loose and fall easily when worn on the body. Our family is not too poor, so we simply make clothes that fit them. I haven’t been in business recently, and the money is still a dividend from the bean bag shop. You are spending a lot of money, if this continues, our family will be ruined." Qinglu was very calm, she always thought that she married a fake husband, he couldn't carry his shoulders and hands, and did farm work at will; he couldn't Earning money depends on her struggling alone. Sometimes she will be tired and needs a man to rely on. However, her own man really cannot be relied on. Sometimes she feels that her choice is Wrong, but after thinking about it, it was really not that easy to marry a good man with such a name back then, so I felt much more at ease.

"Where do children need to buy so many clothes? Many people in the village say that you can take old clothes for our children." Zhou Wenqian was a little unhappy. The one or two pieces I got were bought by Qinglu out of mercy, and the quality was not good.

"It's not Baijiayi, how can I wear other people's clothes?" Qinglu said patiently, "The clothes of the children in the village are all patched, and they are torn if they are not careful. They are not suitable for our children. For climbing, the coarse cloth I bought is not expensive, but it can last for a long time."

"Children's clothes are really a waste." Zhou Wenqian tried to instill in Qinglu the idea that "clothes should be recycled".

"Zhou Wenqian!" Qinglu was really angry, and shouted loudly, "What on earth do you want to do? I told you about the disappearance of money, why are you talking about the child? "

Zhou Wenqian was really taken aback, he had never seen Qinglu get so angry, he couldn't help feeling a little guilty, "What's wrong?"

"What's the matter? Zhou Wenqian, do you think I'm easy to bully, so you keep touching my bottom line?" Qinglu stood up and looked down at Zhou Wenqian, "You don't need to say anything, and don't think I'm slandering you You, you feel wronged, I think you took the money, you have a criminal record, we are husband and wife, I don't care about many things, you tell me, if it is reasonable, I will not say anything about you, if You took it and spent it, and I will definitely ask you to return it."

"Me?" Zhou Wenqian suddenly thought of what happened a few days ago, and said hesitantly, "Yes, I took it, and I lent it to the refugees to buy food."

"Then you said you didn't take it?" Qinglu became angry, "Beware of house thieves, from today onwards, all your expenses will be taken from me, I won't put money in the drawer anymore." After speaking, he pushed Zhou Wenqian out, "Don't sleep with me these few days, you should reflect on yourself." Closed the door.

"Qinglu!" Zhou Wenqian lamented at the door, very pitiful, but no one said anything nice to him.
