Chapter 312: Chapter 313 A Huge Sum of Money2

Lin Xiuwen, standing beside her, repeated: "One thousand and forty-two yuan."

That much money was indeed a bit too much.

He and his wife, one a school teacher, the other a salesperson in a department store, were already earning decent wages.

But even so, the money they had managed to save over these years was just shy of nine hundred yuan. Little Brother had drawn so much money at once...

Chen Honghong also began to think of the worst, swallowing nervously she said, "Mom, don’t jump to conclusions; it might not be what we’re thinking."

Lin Xiuwen also quietly comforted, "Yes Mom, perhaps Fourth Brother has done something meritorious, and this money is a reward from the higher-ups."

Hearing this, Ma Xiulian felt somewhat reassured, "Honghong, help me write a letter to send over and ask what is going on."

"Sure, I’ll write it now."

Chen Honghong held her hand, the palpable coldness of her mother-in-law’s icy hand with cold sweat on them, supporting her to sit down inside the room.

Lin Xiuwen immediately brought over some writing paper.

Whatever Ma Xiulian said, Chen Honghong wrote.

The old lady Lin sitting next to them understood the whole situation after hearing their conversation and once the letter was written, she held Ma Xiulian’s hand in comfort, "Big Sister, you are amazing, and the children you have brought up are equally impressive. Honghong needs no mention; everyone in our family commends her and you with thumbs up. Not to mention your son. This money must be a reward for Fourth Brother’s achievement in the army!"

Both being mothers, she certainly understood Ma Xiulian’s feelings at this moment.

So she chose to speak of the more optimistic possibilities, to keep her from worrying too much.

"May your auspicious words come true."

Ma Xiulian nodded her head, got up holding the envelope, ready to leave, "I’m going to post the letter now."

Chen Honghong immediately stood up to follow, "I’ll go with you."

"No need!"

Ma Xiulian rushed in hastily and left the same way.

After posting the letter, she went to the cooperative store and bought quite a lot of things before hurrying home.

It would take half a month for the letter to be delivered and replied to; no matter how anxious she was, she would have to wait.

As soon as she got home, she pulled Chen Dazhu into the room and spoke in a hushed tone about the matter.

"I’ll go out for a smoke."

Chen Dazhu, his face darkened, walked out and sat on the doorstep, lighting a dry pipe and taking a violent puff he remained silent, lost in his thoughts.

While Ma Xiulian held her young granddaughter tightly in her arms, trying to draw strength from her.

Praying in her heart that God would protect Fourth Brother for Guibao’s sake, he must be safe!

Helian Qiao sensed her restlessness, her big black eyes wide open, her little hands on her grandmother’s face she asked in her tender voice, "Granny, what’s wrong?"

Ma Xiulian immediately held her even tighter, "Guibao, your father will surely return safe and sound, right?"

Although Guibao was adopted by Fourth Brother, they had not met each other at all. She feared the good luck from Guibao wasn’t enough to bless him.

All she could hope for was divine intervention.

"Hmm! He will definitely come back safely." Helian Qiao patted her grandmother’s hand with her soft little hand and nodded hard.

With this assurance, Ma Xiulian was finally less worried, but her complexion did not improve.

At dinner, all the members of the Chen family noticed something was off. There was something wrong with Mom’s demeanor!

All of the family knew that besides sending Chen Honghong back home today, Ma Xiulian also went to the post office to retrieve money.

Usually, every time she would return with the money, she would be beaming with joy, but this time she was silent and her face did not look too good.

Could it be that something happened in Honghong’s family?
