【Quick Wear】My Years as a Mother-in-law

Chapter 152 The Impoverished Mother-in-Law in the Period Literature 32

Mechanical watches require regular calibration, which is very convenient and hassle-free.

"Here, give one to each adult, and one to Niuniu, the children. Hide it and don't show it off. Buy one for your daughter too."

Yun Xi asked for eight.

Wang Lili: "Mom, what souvenirs do you want to buy?"

"Scarves and ties? Ties are not practical. Let's buy leather gloves, which are warm. Belts and leather shoes will also work. Then buy clothes and jewelry, even a watch will do. Buy skin care products for women. If that doesn't work out, buy nutritional supplements like milk powder. Buy local specialties like Beijing roast duck, famous dim sum, etc." Yun Xi thought for a moment and said, "My family won't buy anything for your parents. You can decide for yourself. If you don't have enough money, come to me. I'll buy three roast ducks, one for Lin Xiaobei's family, one for the village chief's family, one for Lingling's family, and a gift for Ran'er. That's all."

The Zhou family's closest neighbor is Lin Xiaobei's family. On the other side is a piece of wasteland with no one living there. They gave it to the village chief's family because more gifts means faster things get done, and they gave it to Zhou Lingling's family because the two families are good partners, and they also want Lingling to teach the children English attentively.

Zhou Fu said, "I'll buy a roast duck and some dim sum for Big Brother's family, and the same for Big Dog and Second Dog's families."

"Ah? Then I'll add a snack too."

Yun Xi felt that it was not good to favor one over the other.

Zhao Guohong scratched his head and said, "Mom, I don't want it anymore. I don't want to go back to my parents' home."

"Okay, you can buy some food you like and eat it back home."

Wang Lili picked quite a few.

After the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, the festive atmosphere faded a little. The key point was that many shops were open. Yun Xi asked the children to go out and play every day. On the Lantern Festival, the lanterns in the city quietly appeared, lighting up the cold night sky.

Fireworks are set off every night on the 15th and 16th of the first lunar month.

Carrying lanterns, watching the lanterns, guessing lantern riddles and eating Yuanxiao, after sixteen years, everyone prepared to go back.

It was easy to come but difficult to go back. I bought a lot of gifts and had to keep an eye on the children to prevent thieves. Yun Xi gave the system a gift and asked it to help keep an eye on them.

"No problem, don't worry, I'll monitor you 24 hours a day and wake you up if there's any problem."

"thanks!"

On the train, six adults took three shifts to look after the children. After lunch, Yun Xi closed her eyes to rest. When she was half asleep, she felt a sharp pain in her head.

"Wake up! A thief is stealing your youngest son's private money!"

Yun Xi didn't bother to curse and looked at her second son behind her. Unexpectedly, she met a pair of vicious and obscene eyes. Zhou Guanxue seemed to be studying the instruction manual of the camera and didn't notice.

The owner of those eyes was stunned for a moment, then glared at her fiercely and threatened her.

Yun Xi, who had a bad temper, said, "Second brother, are you dead? Turn your head and look behind you! There's a pickpocket!"

As she said that, she stood up, picked up an umbrella that belonged to someone nearby, and hit the man hard. There were so many people in the carriage that it was impossible to move. The pickpocket seemed to have not expected that she would dare to shout, and he retreated in a hurry.

Zhou Guanxue reacted when his mother called him, turned around quickly, and punched the other party quickly, accurately and fiercely!

"You stole it from me!"

Wang Lili was still shocked that her husband had some private money, and she didn't realize how powerful her husband's punch was, knocking the other person down with one punch.

The noise caused a commotion among the passengers, and they all searched their bodies to see if they had lost their money.

“My money is gone!”

"mine too!"

"And I!"

When the conductor came over, the pickpocket was lying on the ground trying hard to get up. The conductor saw this and quickly roasted the man first.

"We'll stop at the next station for an hour. We'll contact the local police station and have the person who lost the money write a statement. You too, need to write a statement."

Yun Xi nodded, no problem.

The next stop was a big one, and the original plan was to stop for forty minutes to give passengers getting off and getting on ample time to act, but twenty minutes were added, probably because of the thief.

Sure enough, when the train stopped, the local police were already waiting. She, who discovered the thief, and Zhou Guanxue, the victim whose thief was not robbed, quickly finished their statements and went to the toilet before returning to the train.

Zhao Guohong's eyes were filled with worry, "Mom, you haven't slept yet, have you?"

"It's okay. Do you want to go to the bathroom? There are a lot of toilets here and they're not crowded."

"You want what you want."

The children were also anxious and watched eagerly.

Only a few minutes had passed, and there was still time. Yun Xi asked Zhou Guanxue to look after the luggage and took them to relieve themselves.

"Come on, this way."

As expected, there were not many people in the toilet. The two little ones even took a poop. After solving their physiological problems, everyone returned to the train, feeling much more relaxed.

The rest of the journey was not so boring. The people who lost their money came back and said that they had got their money back.

"The police didn't just say they would return the money to whoever lost it. They also explained what the money looked like and whether there were any special markings on it. Finally, they conducted a surprise interrogation of the pickpocket, and only then did they cautiously give us the money."

"This is perfectly normal. Public security officials should be more cautious. If someone else claims our money, it would be disastrous. It would be difficult to recover our money."

"Yes, I heard that the pickpocket is a habitual criminal. He's very skilled. He steals money from people as he walks by at some train stations. He has to keep looking for the owner of the extra money."

"Don't talk about this. Everything I put in my waistband was cut open with a knife and stolen."

"Who isn't? Damn thief, it feels like my money isn't safe anywhere I put it."

"Put the soles of your shoes on."

"On your chest."

"Hide them separately."

……

The carriage became lively.

Wang Lili pinched her husband and whispered, "Where did you get the money? Didn't you give it all to Mom to buy a house?"

Zhou Guanxue coughed lightly and said, "It's a long story. I'll tell you when we get back."

"What's the matter? Why can't you tell me now?"

Wang Lili muttered something, but didn't insist on it. She wondered where her husband got the secret money from.

Yun Xi was also thinking that if people at home wanted to spend money, they could just ask her for it, but she had never given them a fixed amount of pocket money. Her second son had to help with the purchase and delivery of goods for the braised meat stall, and would occasionally go out to sea with them, so he had no chance to earn extra money.

"By the way, do you know about the system?"

System: "Guess."

"And let me guess, that electric shock of yours nearly sent me to hell in pain, and I haven't even settled the score with you yet."

The system was embarrassed. "Haha, who told me to wake you up no matter how much I called you? It's an emergency, so I just had to act decisively. By the way, you want to know where your second son got his private money, right? Actually, it was when he was in Nanyang that the farmer's daughter forced him to do something and stuffed some jewelry into his pocket to tempt him.

Later, in his haste to escape, he forgot about it and kept it there. He recently bought a camera, so he sold the three pieces of jewelry and planned to keep the money to buy film.
