Chapter 412 Leave it alone
She told him everything that happened yesterday, including the fact that she had lost her silver.
"What?" Si Chengren and Si Chengyi exclaimed in unison. One thousand taels of silver were gone just like that.
"Then have you gone back to look for it?" Si Chengren felt heartbroken, that was one thousand taels.
"Why are you so careless?" Si Chengyi stood up from the stool in a hurry.
"I don't know what happened. When I woke up, I was outside the gate of Chengyang County, and the silver was gone." Wang Qiuhuo was very upset. This amount of silver was all her belongings.
When she came from the capital, Wang Qiuhuo pawned all her belongings. She only had these things in total, and they were all gone at once. She was more anxious than anyone else.
"It must be the person who let you take the carriage who stole the silver, otherwise why would you be unconscious? Do you still remember what that person looks like? Let's go and report to the police now." The more Si Chengren thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
"Yes, let's go now." Si Chengyi also agreed. His mother's money is his money, right?
"But I can't remember what that man looks like clearly. He looks too ordinary." Wang Qiuhuo's mind flashed with the man's gentle appearance again. She instinctively knew that it was not him who did it, so she didn't want to go to the yamen.
How could that man, whose smile was as gentle as her first love, steal her silver? It must have been stolen by someone else when she was unconscious. She was unwilling to doubt him in her heart.
Si Cheng gritted his teeth out of righteousness. His mother actually forgot what she looked like at the critical moment. How could he find the money? He sat back in his seat angrily.
"Mom, please think about it carefully. We can't let others cheat us for nothing." Si Chengren was also angry and wanted to roll his eyes.
"I really can't remember. That person looked too ordinary and I don't know how to describe him." Wang Qiuhuo turned her face away guiltily, not daring to look at them.
I couldn’t even remember what the person looked like, so how could I report it to the police? In the end, the matter would be left unresolved.
So Wang Qiuhuo settled down in this small courtyard. She didn't want to go back to that village because the living conditions there were too poor.
There is also that couple whose tempers don’t get along with mine. It makes me sick just thinking about it. They won’t end up well there.
The first few days were relatively harmonious. Because Si Chengren and Si Chengyi had money, Wang Qiuhe asked them for money and then went to the street to buy food, which she would not do on her own.
Before she got married, she was a young lady, and after she got married, she was the lady of a marquisate. It can be said that she had never done any housework and had never done any work.
Even after getting here, she still can't do it. The key point is that she doesn't want to learn. Her hands are white and tender. If she does those rough work for a long time, her hands will get calluses, so she doesn't want to do it.
She spent several days like this, having to buy meals for three people every day. As the food was all good, she spent a lot of money.
Gradually, Si Chengren and Si Chengyi didn't want to spend money anymore. They had two hundred taels of silver every month, but a trip to a brothel would cost them several taels.
Wang Qiuhe does nothing, but Si Chengren still has to provide her with meals three times a day. How much money will it cost over time? When she asked for money again, Si Chengren's face immediately fell.
"Mom, didn't I just give you five taels of silver? You spent it so quickly. Don't you know our current situation? You can't spend it like this."
"I didn't spend money recklessly. I only bought daily necessities and three meals a day. I bought the cheapest rouge and powder." Speaking of this, Wang Qiuhuo felt angry. Her son only gave her five taels of silver at a time. What could she buy with five taels of silver?
"The month is only halfway through, and we still have a total of forty taels of silver. How are we going to get through the remaining half month?" Si Chengren complained.
"Son, why don't you not go to the brothel? It costs too much money there. Forty taels of silver is enough for us to eat." Wang Qiuhuo also knew where her son spent his money, so naturally she didn't want them to go.
Life was tight, so why should she spend that money? She had always wanted to buy a maid, but had never asked for it because she was afraid they would not allow her to do so. One more person would mean one more person to feed.
"The money was given to us by our father. We can spend it however we want. You don't have to lecture me." Si Chengren looked impatient.
"I know this, but things are different now. We need to save some money. What if something happens to your father one day and no one brings him back? What should we do then?" Wang Qiuhuo's concerns were not unreasonable.
But Si Chengren didn't think so. Even after coming to Chengyang County, he was never worried. He only had two sons, and he would bring them back no matter what.
It's only a matter of time. Maybe they will go back next month.
"Don't say anything more. If you continue, go back to the farm and don't bother us here!" Si Chengren glared at her impatiently, turned around and walked away. When he reached the door, he slammed it shut as if to vent his anger.
Wang Qiuhe was left alone sulking. She only had a few copper coins in her hand, which was definitely not enough to buy vegetables for lunch. She sighed angrily and went to find Si Chengyi.
The two of them always went to the brothel together. The two brothers had a deep brotherly love. They had hung out in the brothel all night yesterday and only came back in the morning.
Si Chengren just got up at noon, while Si Chengyi was still sleeping soundly.
After knocking on his door, Si Chengyi's voice came out vaguely: "What are you doing? I'm still sleepy."
Hearing the sound coming from inside, Wang Qiuhe knew he was awake. She pushed the door open and walked to the bed: "It's already noon, it's time to get up."
"I understand. You can go out first." Si Chengyi turned over and continued to sleep, not taking her words seriously at all.
"Well." Wang Qiuhe sat on the edge of the bed without moving, hesitating on how to start.
It took her a long time to muster up the courage: "Son, you must be hungry. Give me some money. It's already noon. I'm going out to buy some food."
Si Chengyi, who was originally drowsy, opened his eyes immediately when he heard the word silver, and his sleepiness was gone. Because his back was facing Wang Qiuhuo, Wang Qiuhuo didn't see it.
Just last night, the two brothers were discussing this matter. Originally, they lived a good life here. Two hundred taels of silver a month was just enough for them to spend, and sometimes they would even owe a little.
But his mother's visit not only did not bring them any benefits, but also asked the two brothers to manage her money. How was this possible?
So they discussed a countermeasure last night. When Wang Qiuhuo asked them for money again, they would just not give it to her. She was sent to the farm, so why should she get entangled with them? They didn't owe her anything.
"The money is in the hands of my eldest brother. Go ask him for it."
