"I really know how to read fortunes!"
Zuo Xiaoduo had a strong will to live. "Dad! My dear dad! You don't know this, but your son has received an extraordinary inheritance. I can see through a person's fate. I really can … "
Zuo Changlu said calmly, "Tell me, how much did you earn?"
Zuo Xiaoduo trembled. "One … one thousand …"
"One thousand. Your little stash only has five thousand in total. You earned one thousand today, but why did you say that you earned more than ten thousand? Do you think that your dad is stupid? That I can be easily fooled by you? "
Zuo Changlu roared like a tiger roaring in the forest. His momentum was shocking.
His eyes stared as if he wanted to swallow the kid in front of him.
Zuo Xiaoduo's mind went blank. Facing the old man's stare, he instinctively cowered like a little quail in the cold wind. "One … ten thousand …"
"Ten thousand!"
Zuo Changlu sneered. "I've believed in everything in my life, but I don't believe in liars! I've believed in everything in my life, but I don't believe in fortune-telling … I can believe in the whole world, but I can't believe in you, Zuo Xiaoduo! Go to hell, you coward! "
With a whoosh, the entire belt was pulled out!
Zuo Xiaoduo screamed and hugged his head with both hands. His body curled into a ball out of habit, but his butt was exposed. He reflexively got into a posture to be beaten. He screamed miserably, "Be gentle …"
"Ahem!"
Wu Yuting coughed and said lightly, "Let's eat first. Today's banquet is a celebration. What are you doing? Let's talk after the meal! "
Zuo Changlu thought for a while and slowly put away the belt. He nodded and said, "That's right. Let's eat first. We'll talk after the meal."
…
The banquet resumed.
Zuo Xiaoduo and Zuo Xiaonian sat side by side. However, the two of them looked unsatisfied. They looked at each other from time to time and saw the regret in each other's eyes …
Sigh …
She shouldn't have pitied her father for working so hard to support the family. She wanted to help, but in the end, she sold herself …
For a moment, the siblings were both vexed and regretful.
Zuo Xiaoduo, in particular, secretly scolded himself for being a pig. He clearly knew that the money he had "earned" should not be exposed. Once it was exposed, he would be in big trouble. Why didn't he keep his mouth shut? The nature of the meal had changed. It was no longer a celebratory feast, but a last meal. The only thing he didn't know was whether it would be a men's singles match or a mixed doubles match. It was more likely to be a mixed doubles match …
He didn't dare to think any further. It was too terrifying!
Wu Yuting poured a glass of wine for Zuo Changlu and said, "Nian, you have two hundred thousand yuan now. The family is indeed quite tight during this period of time. It's good that you take some money out to supplement the family, but don't take it all out. Girls need to keep some money with them to deal with emergencies. "
Zuo Xiaonian, who was flattered, immediately sat up straight and said flatteringly, "Mom, I have three hundred and sixty thousand yuan in total. I'll leave three hundred and fifty thousand for Dad, and I'll keep ten thousand for myself."
"Oh, so it's not two hundred thousand yuan, it's three hundred and sixty thousand …"
Wu Yuting nodded and said, "Then you can take out three hundred thousand yuan. You're an adult now. When girls go out, you have to treat yourself better. How can you not have money? "
Zuo Xiaonian nodded as if she had been granted amnesty. "Yes, Mom. Okay, Mom. I'll take it out now, Mom. "
Then, she took out her card, tapped on her phone, and transferred the money to her father. Only then did she feel a little safer.
Looking at Zuo Xiaoduo's pitiful eyes for help, Zuo Xiaonian gave him a look that said, "Good luck to you." Then, she focused on eating. Her heart gradually calmed down, and her face cleared up.
Even if Dad and Mom were still angry, the dog was in front of them. They could beat him first.
Xiao Duo's mistake seemed to be more serious. Hee hee hee … I spent three hundred thousand yuan. This beating, I should pay for it, right?
"And Xiao Duo …"
Wu Yuting picked up the wine pot and poured a glass of wine for her son. She said with a smile, "Xiao Duo is now a Samurai. Congratulations. Mom won't limit you from drinking today. Drink with your dad."
Zuo Xiaoduo's hand that was holding the wine glass was trembling. His face was pale and he stammered, "Mom, I really earned it by looking at the face. I didn't steal or rob …"
"Well, Mom believes you. You're my son. Why wouldn't I believe you?"
Wu Yuting immediately said, "Where's the money you earned? Take it out and let me see. I don't believe you earned more than ten thousand yuan. That's more than ten thousand yuan!"
Zuo Xiaoduo hurriedly got up and ran into his room with his tail between his legs. He opened the hollowed-out journal and took it out as if he was presenting a treasure. He said, "Mom, look. This is five thousand yuan. And this is twelve thousand yuan …"
Wu Yuting: "It's not more than ten thousand yuan. This is at least twenty thousand yuan."
Zuo Xiaonian coughed repeatedly. She turned around and kept signaling Zuo Xiaoduo with her eyes.
Don't betray me, don't betray me …
Zuo Xiaoduo hesitated for a moment. Under his mother's gaze, he only hesitated for two seconds before betraying Zuo Xiaonian. "Yes … I asked you for money one day and you didn't give it to me … Sister Nian Nian gave me ten thousand yuan … Then I bought a piece of jade and spent eight thousand yuan …"
Zuo Xiaonian's expression darkened again. She bit her lower lip and looked at the traitor with resentment.
Wu Yuting glanced at Zuo Xiaonian meaningfully and said, "Oh, I see. It's fine."
She picked up the money in her hand and counted it. "Seventeen thousand and twenty yuan? What's up with this twenty yuan … "
Zuo Xiaoduo gulped. "It's a small amount … small change …" He didn't dare to say that he earned it from fortune-telling anymore.
Wu Yuting said, "You don't need so much money for school … Your sister gave you ten thousand yuan and you actually spent eight thousand yuan. You … are a little too extravagant …"
Zuo Xiaoduo looked at the money in his mother's hand in despair. The corners of his eyes twitched and his heart felt like it was being cut by a knife. "So …?"
"So, I'll keep it for you."
Wu Yuting naturally placed the money in her small purse. She thought for a moment and said, "But you're also a warrior. It's not right for you to not have some pocket money when you go to school. Here, take this twenty yuan change. Spend it wisely."
Zuo Xiaoduo took the twenty yuan in a daze. He felt a surge of emotion in his heart.
She left sixty thousand yuan for sister …
She left twenty yuan for me …
This ratio …
But it's okay. Sister Nian's money is my money, isn't it?
If I can escape a beating, it's worth it. He tried to comfort his heart that was about to bleed from the pain. He turned his grief into appetite and began to eat and drink again.
Sure enough, Zuo Zhanglu and Wu Yuting didn't pursue the matter any further. The whole family was joyous and harmonious. They toasted each other and finished the meal in a harmonious atmosphere.
Zuo Xiaonian and Zuo Xiaoduo's uneasy hearts slowly calmed down.
Zuo Xiaoduo was even thinking about handing over the twelve thousand yuan ill-gotten gains. He had planned to do so anyway. But was it possible for him to get back the five thousand yuan he originally had? If it was possible, how should he tell his mother?
Zuo Xiaoduo thought hard and considered the words carefully. The money was originally saved by him over the years.
They had painstakingly saved up money and then turned it all into new banknotes with serial numbers. Everyone in the family knew how hard it had been to go through all of this.
So, the possibility of him getting it back was not small …
While thinking, he picked up the wine glass and drank. Before he knew it, he had drunk a lot.
They had truly eaten and drunk to their heart's content!
"The five thousand …"
Wu Yuting said.
It's going to be returned to me. Zuo Xiaoduo's spirit was shaken, his eyes sparkling.
"I'll keep it for you first. It depends on your performance. If you do well, I'll return it to you, "Wu Yuting said.
"Okay. Mom really loves me. "
Zuo Xiaoduo flattered her without hesitation. His heart calmed down a lot. Yes, there was still hope.
There was still a lot of hope …
"Well, isn't this salted fish your favorite?" Wu Yuting said, "Don't just eat one side. Turn this salted fish over."
Zuo Xiaoduo hurriedly did as he was told.
But … he felt that there was something wrong with this sentence.
Zuo Xiaonian had already burst out laughing.
At this moment, Zuo Changlu was already a little tipsy.
He was smiling happily.
Zuo Xiaonian wasn't as optimistic as Zuo Xiaoduo. The intuition of a high-level martial artist made Zuo Xiaonian vaguely feel that the crisis seemed to be still faintly existing, brewing, and rising …
That meant that this place wasn't safe!
Seeing that they had finally finished eating, Zuo Xiaonian put down her chopsticks and stood up. Her pretty face was serious. "Dad, Mom, I still have to practice. I'll go first …"
"Don't be in a hurry."
Zuo Changlu raised his eyelids. "You're a girl. You're already so old. Do you only know how to eat? Don't you know how to clean the table after eating? "
Zuo Xiaonian's face was gentle and pleasant. "Yes, Dad. I'll clean it now … Mom, put it down. I'll wash it …"
Zuo Xiaoduo hurriedly helped. The two cleaned up the dishes together while exchanging glances.
"What should we do? Quickly think of a way to escape … "
"Escape to where?"
"Anywhere is fine, but the biggest problem now is whether or not we can slip away …"
"I don't know what to do …"
"… Me too …"
…
Finally, the two siblings cleaned up the house. After a long while, they came to the living room and were about to say that they wanted to go back to their room.
But before they could say anything, Zuo Changlu spoke first.
"I'll leave Zuo Xiaonian to you. You're a big girl now. You two can deal with it yourselves." Zuo Changlu said to Wu Yuting, "I'll deal with Samurai Xiao Duo."
"Okay."
Wu Yuting waved the thick ferule in her hand. She reached out and pulled a bench over in the living room. With a cold face, she said to Zuo Xiaonian, "Lie on it!"
