Jiu Yang Zhu Zhu
Qiao Liancheng said doubtfully: "My memory is not bad, so I can't be wrong. I saw you playing with it when I went back to visit relatives a few years ago!"
That watch is mechanical and can move as long as it is turned on.
Therefore, Li Hongmei was worried that it wouldn't break, so she occasionally took it out and wiped the dust with it to try harder.
Li Hongmei's face became even more ugly.
Jiang Wan snorted: "You're really stingy. Our old Qiao gives you so much living expenses every month, but you don't even give me a watch!"
Li Hongmei's head was filled with anger and she blurted out: "That watch is a family heirloom. I want to pass it on to my grandson. Don't even think about it!"
Jiang Wan raised her eyebrows: "Family inheritance? You have so many children, who are you going to pass it on to?"
After speaking, Jiang Wan turned to look at Qiao Liancheng: "How long have you been mailing living expenses to your family?"
Qiao Liancheng replied silently: "I have been a soldier for several years, and I have mailed it for several years!"
Jiang Wan smiled and reached out to pat Li Hongmei's face: "Your eldest son has mailed several years of living expenses. Are you upset?"
"He has been supporting the family for so long. It can be said that you are able to raise your son and daughter because of him. Why, you are not happy to ask for a watch!"
Li Hongmei panicked. She shook her head desperately and cried like crazy:
"No, no, I won't give it to you. Don't try to steal my watch."
"No, I won't give it to you even if I die!"
Li Hongmei's crazy resistance not only did not frighten Jiang Wan, but made her more and more convinced of Bai Yuxiu's words.
She turned to look at Bai Yuxiu.
Bai Yuxiu quickly looked away.
Jiang Wan also knew that forcing him now would not bring good results.
It's just a watch. As long as she is here, she will find a way to get it.
Finally, she snorted softly: "It's fine without a watch!"
Seeing that Jiang Wan suddenly became so talkative, Li Hongmei was momentarily confused, looked at Jiang Wan in disbelief, and asked cautiously and tentatively:
"You, you don't want it anymore?"
Jiang Wan raised her eyebrows: "I want it, how can I not want it? If you don't give it, what can I do?"
Then he looked at Qiao Liancheng and asked, "When will your third brother take the college entrance examination?"
Qiao Liancheng replied: "Next year!"
Jiang Wan snorted: "Then your living expenses will be paid until he finishes the college entrance examination next year. After that, your younger siblings will be adults and can make their own money, so we don't need to pay them any more."
Qiao Liancheng thought so too. He nodded: "Okay!"
Li Hongmei was dumbfounded. She was stunned for a moment and then retorted loudly: "No, he is the eldest son of the family. If he doesn't support the family, who will?"
Jiang Wan sneered:
"Who will support you? Why do you keep your second son? He has hands and feet and can't make money to support the family?"
"Now I'm in charge of Qiao Liancheng's family. I've been supporting the family for so many years. Why should I support your family with a giant baby?"
"In short, you have two choices now, either give me the watch, or stop asking for our money in the future."
Li Hongmei was dumbfounded. At this moment, various thoughts were intertwined in her heart, and she definitely couldn't give her a watch.
Because that is the only clue to find his daughter.
When their daughter was taken away, the family cared about her so much that they would never dislike her just because she was a girl.
Moreover, that family seemed to be rich and powerful.
My daughter must have had a good life over the years.
If you find your daughter with a watch, it will not be difficult for her to find a good job for her two brothers and one sister, but it will be much better than this useless boss.
Thinking of this, Li Hongmei made a decision and said coldly:
"If I don't give it, I won't give it. But we have agreed that we will continue to give money until the college entrance examination ends next year."
Jiang Wan snorted coldly. He could tell her thoughts at a glance and even guessed her plans.
She narrowed her eyes and replied with a cold snort: "Okay, it's a deal!"
Although Li Hongmei was very angry, she had to hold her nose and admit it in order to keep her watch.
Because the watch was right next to her, there was really nothing she could do if she pissed off this fat bitch and turned it out and took it away.
After the business was done, Jiang Wan didn't bother to stay here any longer and took Qiao Liancheng to leave.
She had to go back and think about how to get the watch back in her hand.
She turned to leave, but was stopped by Li Hongmei:
"Don't leave. We agreed to give us living expenses once a week. It's been a few days."
"Do you want to starve us to death?"
Jiang Wan raised her eyebrows and asked, "That's not right. We agreed to pay living expenses once a week, but it's less than seven days!"
"Besides, I gave you several dollars. It's enough to buy groceries and eat. What you ate is gone so quickly!"
Li Hongmei glared at Qiao Lianye fiercely when she heard this: "Anyway, it's time to finish eating!"
Jiang Wan noticed her gaze and seemed to have thought of something and asked:
"So, Wuyang said that someone was stealing in this town, was it really you who did it?"
Li Hongmei's heart trembled and she looked away with evasive eyes:
"It's not us, don't talk nonsense!"
Jiang Wan suddenly laughed at her attitude. If it weren't for her, according to Li Hongmei's character, she would definitely jump and scold her.
Now she is giving a neither salty nor bland response, obviously she feels guilty!
She touched her chin and analyzed slowly: "Wu Yang said that someone was stealing in the town, and the time was on the third day after I left."
"In other words, you will have spent all your money by then."
"So, what did you do with the money?"
Li Hongmei didn't say anything, Jiang Wan's mind moved, and she suddenly said:
"If you don't tell the truth, I won't give you any more living expenses."
"Otherwise, no matter how much money you give, it will be a bottomless pit, and there will be no end!"
Li Hongmei became anxious when she saw this, and shouted angrily: "He's not the second child yet, he went to gamble."
When Qiao Lianye heard this, he shouted aggrievedly: "It's just my bad luck. When I get better, I'll win everything back for you!"
Li Hongmei was so angry that she glared at him fiercely.
Jiang Wan silently raised the corners of her lips and smiled faintly: "That's it, you should have told me earlier!"
"The second child is not a child anymore. It's nothing to get upset and play with it occasionally!"
As she said that, she took out three yuan and handed it to Li Hongmei.
"This is your week's living expenses. Watch it carefully and don't let me gamble anymore, otherwise I won't give it to you again if you lose everything!"
Li Hongmei hurriedly agreed, grabbed the money and put it directly into her pocket.
Jiang Wan left with Qiao Liancheng, and before leaving, she glanced at the second child with a meaningful look.
After the two of them went out, Qiao Liancheng said a little depressed: "It seems that she won't give us watches. We can't do it if we insist on it."
Jiang Wan smiled: "It doesn't matter, there will be a way."
"You go back to the compound first and test Jiang Cheng to see if he knows about the elder Jin Gang who died."
Qiao Liancheng was confused: "What about you!"
Jiang Wan smiled calmly: "I'm going to see the butcher brother. I want to see if Mrs. Chen has been out at the stall these days. I also need to ask about the current price of rice, flour and oil."
"Otherwise, how will we negotiate with people when we enter the city tomorrow morning!"
Qiao Liancheng thought about it and immediately separated from Jiang Wan and returned to the army.
Seeing Qiao Liancheng walking away, Jiang Wan came back again and again, waiting near the only exit of the street at home.
She hid herself behind a big tree. Fortunately, the tree was thick enough, otherwise it might not have been able to block her.
That watch is mechanical and can move as long as it is turned on.
Therefore, Li Hongmei was worried that it wouldn't break, so she occasionally took it out and wiped the dust with it to try harder.
Li Hongmei's face became even more ugly.
