Madam Cao's Private Money Was Confiscated

Editor: Atlas Studios

Madam Sun was afraid that if she said that she did not steal Old Madam Yu's money, Old Madam Yu would not believe her.

The more Madam Sun struggled, the tighter Yu Ziyi pulled. Seeing that Madam Sun's clothes were about to be torn apart by Yu Ziyi, Yu Changhe stepped forward and slapped Yu Ziyi's face.

"You little brat, how dare you pull your second aunt? Let go of her!"

Yu Ziyi was stunned by Yu Changhe's slap. Madam Sun took the opportunity to rush into the house. As soon as she entered the house, she saw that the things in the bed cabinet had been dug out by Yu Changfu. She thought to herself that it was over and fell to the ground.

Yu Xiaolian walked over and helped Madam Sun up. She secretly massaged Madam Sun's palm. Madam Sun looked at Yu Xiaolian and saw her winking at her. She immediately understood what Yu Xiaolian meant.

She was no longer in a hurry. She stood there and watched Yu Changfu rummage around. "Brother, if you don't find any money, you have to pack up all the things you messed up. You have to restore the place back to its original condition!"

When Yu Changfu saw Madam Sun's sudden change in expression, he was already certain that Madam Sun had stolen the money. Now that he couldn't find it in the house, he couldn't help but feel that he was overthinking.

Seeing that Yu Changfu was still biting the bullet and starting to flip through the house a second time, Yu Xiaolian also said, "Uncle, the only money my family had is all gone. This morning, we returned it to Old Zhao's family. We don't have a single cent left. If you can find a single cent, we have to thank you!"

Yu Changfu thought of Madam Sun's frightened expression earlier. It was indeed suspicious.

However, at this moment, he had already searched this small dilapidated house twice, but he could not find a single cent. He could only go out dejectedly and tell Old Madam Yu that he had not found it.

Old Lady Yu shot an eagle-like gaze at Yu Xiaolian. "Hurry up and search the Little Unlucky Star. She was in the room just now. Perhaps she hid the money on her when she heard that we were going to search the rooms."

Yu Changhe stopped Yu Changfu, who was running towards Yu Xiaolian. "Big Brother, as an uncle, it's not good for you to search your niece, right?"

Yu Changfu blushed and hesitated for a moment.

Madam Cao volunteered, "I'll search!"

At this moment, Madam Sun's heart was in her throat again. She didn't find anything in the house, so the silver must be on Xiaolian. Wouldn't she be exposed if she was searched?

Madam Sun was just about to stand in front of Yu Xiaolian when Yu Xiaolian pulled her aside and said to Madam Cao, "Eldest Aunt, you can search me. I have nothing to hide, so I'm not afraid of anything."

Madam Cao walked over and touched Yu Xiaolian's entire body. Other than her skinny body, there was nothing else.

Old Madam Yu whispered to Father Yu, "What should we do? Should we search Boss's house?"

Father Yu's face darkened. "Since Second Brother has already searched, let's be fair. Search Eldest Brother too. I'll go find him myself!"

Old Father Yu put the tobacco pipe and pot on the cloth belt at his waist and ran towards the house where Yu Changfu and the others lived. Madam Cao's expression changed and she hurriedly said, "Mother, let me say this first. I do have private money, but that's my dowry. You can't take it away, right?"

Old Madam Yu scolded, "Bullsh*t. You've been married for more than 20 years. Haven't you already spent all the dowry your family gave you?"

At this moment, Madam Cao felt like crying. It seemed that her mother-in-law was clearly going to confiscate her private money.

Father Yu went in and in a few moments, he found a clay jar beside the brick cave. There was half a jar of copper coins in it, and a few pieces of silver. This was not much. He opened the red cloth bag, and there was a silver hairpin and a silver bracelet inside.

Madam Cao snatched the clay pot away. "Mother, this is my private savings for so many years. You can't take it away!"

Old Madam Yu pulled out another tobacco pipe and pot from Father Yu's waist and punched Madam Cao a few times. "Look at what's going on at home! You're still only concerned about your private savings. Your brother-in-law is about to lose his wife."

Although Madam Cao was in pain, she could not bear to let go of the clay pot and give it to Old Madam Yu. It was Yu Changfu who walked over and snatched the clay pot away and handed it to Old Madam Yu. "Mother, no matter what, it's more important to get Third Brother a wife."

Seeing Yu Changfu hand the clay pot to his mother, Madam Cao immediately broke down. She hit Yu Changfu crazily. "Are you crazy? Mother has already lost all her belongings. If you give this money to Changyu to marry, what will happen to our Zishu's studies? Our Zishu's studies are so good. Can you bear to let him go to the farm?"

When Yu Changfu heard Madam Cao's words, he remembered that he still had an eldest son who was studying in town. He hit his head hard twice and squatted down. "Then what do you want me to do? On one side, it's my biological brother, and on the other side, it's is my son."

Old Madam Yu suddenly said to Madam Cao, "In my opinion, Changfu did the right thing. Zishu won't die if he doesn't study. If Changyu doesn't marry a wife, he'll have no descendants!"

Old Madam Yu carried the clay pot and left. As she walked, she muttered, "Madam Cao has only saved up this little money for so many years."

Madam Cao was also furious. She shouted at Old Madam Yu, "If you think it's too little, return it to me!"

In the past, although Madam Cao was sly, she did not dare to talk back to her mother-in-law.

After all, the financial power was with Old Madam Yu. The tuition fees for her two sons also depended on Old Madam Yu, but at this moment, she was really about to go crazy.

After Old Madam Yu and Father Yu left, Madam Cao kicked Yu Changfu a few times.

Yu Changfu did not retaliate. He let Madam Cao hit and scold him without saying a word.

It was not until he saw Madam Cao packing her clothes and calling Yu Ziyi to go back to her family that he came back to his senses. He went forward to try to persuade Madam Cao to stay, but Yu Ziyi pushed him away.

In the past, Yu Ziyi had often complained that Old Madam Yu was biased. Now that Old Madam Yu had snatched his mother's private savings for so many years, he hated his grandmother even more.

Of course, he also hated his useless father.

As soon as Madam Sun entered the house, she closed the door and asked Yu Xiaolian in a low voice, "Where's the silver? Where did you hide it?"

Yu Xiaolian ran to the rice bag and took out a cloth bag containing silver, handing it to Madam Sun.

Madam Sun asked in surprise, "Your uncle clearly searched the rice bag just now. Why didn't he find it?"

Yu Xiaolian thought to herself. Of course he couldn't find it, because she had used the rice bag as a cover to take out the silver from her space.

"When my uncle searched the rice bag, I was also shocked. However, my uncle was too careless. He didn't search carefully and let us escape."

Madam Sun walked over and picked up the rice bag. She muttered, "I've been grinding this rice for more than half a month. Why isn't the amount decreasing?"

Yu Xiaolian quickly changed the topic. "Mother, this house has become messy because of my uncle. Shall we quickly tidy it up?"

As Madam Sun folded her clothes, she said to Yu Changhe, "I can't feel at ease leaving this money at home. Why don't we return the money we owe to my mother and brother? Otherwise, my mother might search us at any time."

Yu Changhe felt that what Madam Sun said made sense. If the money was confiscated and he didn't return the money he owed his mother-in-law, he would be devastated.

Seeing that Yu Changhe had agreed, Madam Sun brought Yu Xiaolian back to Shanghewan Village in the afternoon.

It was noon, and Yu Xiaolian was really unwilling to accompany Madam Sun out. However, Madam Sun had money on her, so she was afraid and asked Yu Xiaolian to go with her.
