The boy who brought water to soak Bai Erlang's feet saw his young master running out covered in dust. He immediately put down the tub and ran up, "Second Young Master, Second Young Master, why are you so dirty? Didn't you just take a bath?"

Bai Erlang finally found the person, grabbed him and said, "There was a burglar in my house, and my things are missing!"

The boy suddenly understood, "Is it the box under the bed?"

Bai Erlang glared, "How do you know?"

"My wife took that away," the boy said, "Tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival, and early this morning my wife sent her sisters to clean the room and spread realgar powder, and they found a box under the bed."

The boy whispered: "Master, your box was not locked. The sisters opened it as soon as they opened it. Then my wife came and she had the box moved away."

Bai Erlang was stunned, "My mother didn't say anything when we were eating just now..."

The boy said uncertainly: "Maybe I forgot?"

Bai Erlang's eyes turned red and he ran towards his parents' main house.

The boy couldn't help shouting, "Master, please don't bathe your feet anymore. The old lady said that there are strong evil spirits in May, so you have to bathe your feet before going to bed..."

Bai Erlang rushed into his parents' room and asked his mother directly, "Mom, where is my money?"

Mr. Bai, who was soaking his feet, looked up when he heard this and asked, "What money?"

Mrs. Bai ignored Mr. Bai for now, but said softly to Erlang Bai: "Erlang, it's not safe to leave so much money with you. It's better for my mother to keep it for you. If you want to use it in the future, ask your mother."

"

"No, Manbao and the others kept their money by themselves, why can't I keep it by myself?" Bai Erlang was very angry and felt that his mother had greatly offended him by taking the money without his consent, so he

He yelled: "It was like this before. You gave me the New Year's money, but then you took it back!"

Mrs. Bai frowned slightly, but still said softly: "Mom, it's for your own good. You spend money too lavishly..."

Bai Erlang shouted: "That's my money too!"

Mr. Bai listened to the argument between mother and son, his face darkened, he wiped his feet and threw the towel into the basin, and said angrily: "Erlang, who taught you to talk to your mother like this?"

The mother and son were quiet for a while.

Mr. Bai put on wooden clogs and came over with a clattering sound. He said, "No matter what, you shouldn't be so loud with your mother. Didn't Mr. Zhuang and I teach you etiquette?"

In the past, Mr. Bai would not have said such words, but after seeing Mr. Zhuang teach his children many times, he also knew that sometimes it was useless to just rebuke.

You still have to reason with your children, even if it doesn't make sense or the children don't listen, you still have to speak.

Seeing that his eyes were red and full of tears, Mr. Bai finally calmed down. Then he looked at his wife, frowned and asked, "Tell me, what's going on?"

Separated by a wall, Bai Shanbao had fallen asleep. Suddenly, a loud cry of "Ah woo" made him jump. He jumped on his hands and feet and opened his eyes.

He sat up in confusion, and then vaguely heard loud crying coming from the next door. Although it was not clear, there was only one person in the next door who could cry like this.

Bai Shanbao got out of bed immediately, and Daji, who lived next door, also opened the door and came out.

Bai Shanbao stood on tiptoes, looked in the direction of the Bai family, and asked, "Daji, what's wrong with Bai Er?"

Daji pricked up his ears and listened, then shook his head and said, "I don't know. Why don't you send someone to ask?"

"Go quickly, go quickly."

Daji immediately went to find someone.

At this time, it was already dark, and everyone in the Bai family was preparing to go to bed. Although it was a landlord's house, we couldn't waste lamp oil, right?

But at this moment, lanterns were lit up in the main courtyard, and many places were lit up. Bai Erlang shamelessly sat down on the ground, closed his eyes and cried loudly.

Mrs. Bai was so angry that she felt distressed but couldn't bring herself to beat him. She could only keep comforting her, "Okay, okay, can I give you a pill?"

"I don't want it, I want it all, it's all my money."

Mrs. Bai's rare insistence was, "What do you, a child, do with so much money?"

Bai Erlang was about to roll on the floor when he suddenly remembered what Bai Shanbao and Manbao said. He immediately gave up on his mother and turned to look at his father. He was obviously crying so hard, but he still grabbed his father's trouser legs intermittently.

Said: "Dad, I hold the money of Shanbao and Manbao myself..."

He sobbed: "In the future, when the farm asks for money, I will have to contribute a share..."

Mrs. Bai immediately said: "If you need money, tell mother, and mother will definitely give it to you."

"No, I want to get the money myself," Bai Erlang insisted. "It feels uncomfortable to reach out for the money, and I don't want to ask my mother for money, nor do I want to ask my father for it!"

Master Bai squinted his eyes as he listened and was about to speak. An old lady said outside the door: "Master, madam, the old lady asked what's going on?"

Mr. Bai said: "It's okay. Erlang had some troubles. It will be over in a while. Mommy, please go back and serve your mother. Don't let her be frightened."

The old grandma took a look into the room and saw that the second young master was intact, but he was sitting on the ground. He might have been wronged.

She felt relieved and agreed with a smile, as long as she didn't do anything.

Mrs. Bai hurriedly went to see the person off, and mentioned the reason by the way. Knowing that it was the matter of managing the money that caused the trouble, the old woman didn't ask any more questions.

Mrs. Bai breathed a sigh of relief before returning to the house. Mr. Bai said to her: "Give Erlang the money. Let him take care of his own money."

Mrs. Bai was shocked and lost her voice: "How can this be done? There is so much money."

Mr. Bai insisted, "Give it to him. The child is already old, and he is now managing a farm. How can he not have any money? Besides, he earned the money himself."

"That's what I earned from you," Mrs. Bai insisted, "this kid can't have so much money."

Mr. Bai frowned, obviously unhappy. The matter finally came to Mrs. Bai. Now it was not Mr. Bai who was making trouble, but Mrs. Bai.

The couple quarreled at that time, and the noise became louder and louder, and finally the old woman came again.

This time, she took the whole family of three to the old lady's yard.

The old lady's hair was down, and she was obviously about to go to bed. She simply pulled her hair back, sat on the couch and asked, "What are you family doing tonight? No one is stopping."

Mrs. Bai told the story with grievances and wiped her tears, begging the old lady to make the decision for her. She cried: "Erlang is my son, how can I still harm him? Mom, you don't know that this child made trouble in the past two years."

I wanted to get the lucky money for myself, but what happened to him?"

Mrs. Bai said: "That much money was all spent in less than half a year, and it was all given to others."
