Chapter 1445: Honest Woman 28

There were no clues, and everyone suspected that Zhou's father and mother had embezzled the money, so the matter of stealing the money was eventually left unresolved.

As soon as the police left, Liu Yuxiang burst into tears, "Dad, Mom, why did you steal my money? I only have that little money left, and you took it all away. What should I do if I need it urgently?"

"Mom, where did you hide the money? Give it back to me."

Liu Yuxiang cried and went to put the luggage of the two elders away.

Zhou's mother sat on the ground in a daze. "I didn't take your money. My money was also stolen. Woohoo... What should I do now? I don't have a penny left. How can I live?"

"Mom, stop pretending. Tell us where you put the money." Zhou Dabao shouted impatiently, "I saw a house this morning and negotiated the price with the owner. I will go to transfer the ownership tomorrow. Please give me all the money."

Zhou's mother cried, "Dabao, the family's money is really lost, wuwu... not a cent left, and your brother's pension is gone too."

Zhou Dabao's face turned pale. "Really...are they all lost?"

Zhou's mother cried and took out a pair of scissors to cut the clothes she had sewn money into pieces. "I sewed all my money inside, and now there is not a single cent left. It's more than 2,000 yuan. Oh my god, I am so heartbroken."

Mother Zhou was so angry that her eyes rolled back and she fainted.

Zhou's father became anxious and quickly asked Zhou Dabao to carry Zhou's mother to the hospital.

After losing more than 2,000 yuan, Zhou Dabao was so shocked that he sat on the ground. He had no strength to carry anyone. "Dad, there is no money left at home. Mom went to the hospital, but they wouldn't take her."

"Dad, how much money do you have?"

"Your mother is in charge of the family's money. Where would I get the money?" Zhou's father pinched Zhou's mother's philtrum with his fingernails.

Not long after, Zhou's mother woke up in pain.

Since all the money was lost, the Zhou family had no appetite for dinner that night and only spent five cents to buy a steamed bun for Zhou Yaozong.

The next day, Zhou Dabao couldn't afford the money to buy a house, so he took his mother Zhou and Liu Yuxiang to get back the ten yuan deposit.

The deposit was originally non-refundable, but Zhou's mother and Liu Yuxiang lay at the door of the house crying, making a fuss, and even threatening to hang themselves. The family was afraid of them and returned the deposit.

After getting the deposit back, Zhou Dabao canceled the two rooms in the guesthouse.

Zhou Dabao originally paid ten yuan for the room, and after staying for a few days, he got four yuan back. Together with the little money they had on them, the total amount was thirty-six yuan.

Zhou Dabao held the money and said to his parents, "Dad, Mom, I decided to stay in the city to find a job. You two should go back to the village first. When I find a stable job, I will come back to pick you up."

Mother Zhou was stunned. "Son, do you not want me and your father anymore?"

"Mom, you are my parents, how could I not want you? I was thinking of making a lot of money in the city and bringing you here to enjoy a good life." Zhou Dabao said with embarrassment, "It's just that our family doesn't have much money now. If you want to stay in the city, you have to rent a bigger house. And this little money is not enough for our five mouths to feed for a month."

"Dad, Mom, I don't want you to stay and suffer. If you go back to the village, you can plant land and raise chickens. You won't lack food and you can fill your stomach anyway. But in the city, if you don't have money, you will starve. Dad, Mom, I can't bear to let you suffer with me."

Father Zhou's eyes were red. "Okay, I'll go back with your mother."
