The dog was barking, and my mother said they were entering the house. But when I turned to look, I saw that the gate was shut. Other than the barking of a dog, there was no other sound. Could it be that someone was trying to climb the wall? I looked around the top of the wall, but I didn't see anything out of the ordinary. Could it be that someone was hiding under the wall, waiting for the right opportunity to make a move?

"Mom, could it be that someone secretly followed us and secretly spied on us?" I said nervously.

Mother said, "I was afraid something dirty would come into our house!"

"Dirty things are nothing to be afraid of, at most we can just blast them out with firecrackers. The door is pasted shut by a god. "I'm just afraid that someone might break out of our trap and take the chance to look at our bamboo shoot!" "No," I said.

"Then what should we do?"

"Open the gate and let go of the dog. "Let the dog bite and see where he can run to!" "No," I said.

"Take this box of money inside first!"

"You … Don't even mention the money in this box! The walls have ears, it would not be good if someone heard and thought about it! " I shouted under my breath.

"Look at you, you're so anxious, like a monkey baring its fangs!"

My mother and I carried the box of money into the hall and sat on it while my mother went out to put the dog away.

Very quickly, I heard the sound of dogs and wolves running in circles in the yard. He could not help lifting the curtain and going out to look, he saw that the gate of the yard was open, but the wolfhound was not running outside, only jumping and jumping about in the yard, biting wildly, as if chasing something we could not see.

"Alright, close the gate!" If there's anyone outside, the dog will run out and bite it! " "No," I said.

After closing the door, his mother ran over and said with a trembling body and a crying face, "Look, did I guess right? Our house is full of dirty stuff! Could it be that Zhao Xinxin died with grievances and her soul refused to leave his body? "

I said I had no firecrackers at home, so I let it go.

Mother said no.

I said, "Beat the gong."

So my mother went into the kitchen and got the lid and the little stick that she had used to smash garlic, and she kept beating on the pot as she walked around the yard. Boom! Boom! Boom! The price was so high that it shook the heavens. He scared the wolfhound so much that it stopped biting him and went back to its nest with its tail between its legs. East Room and the lights in the west rooms all lit up.

Zhao Xinxin's angry shout came from the west wing: "You're crazy! Hit your mother. Forced! It's so late in the night and people can't sleep! "

From within the East Room came the dissatisfied cry of Big Sister Jin Yuxia, "Mother! Don't knock anymore, your ears are about to fall off! "

Mother stopped beating the gong, and when she saw that the dog had stopped barking, she thought she had banished the filth. He went back to the main room, closed the door, and bolted it. Looking at the big box, he gasped for breath, both of his eyes shone, baring his teeth he laughed and said: "Shier, we're rich, it's like a dream!"

I played it down and said, "It's only one million yuan. Look at how excited you are!"

Mother said a million is not too much, so how much is enough for you to be satisfied?

I said, "Money is just money. That's not what I'm after!"

"Alright, it's enough to just pretend when I see you. Go to sleep, don't hold it down! " My mother pushed me away from her on the suitcase and dragged it into her bedroom.

"Eh, what are you doing?" I reached for the trunk.

"I'll hide it!"

"Where are you going to hide it?"

"Can you hide under my bed?"

"Stop hiding, let me hide! You should go to sleep first! " "No," I said.

My mother stared at me. I looked back at her. Both of them tightly gripped the handles on the large box without loosening their grip.

Half a minute passed while they looked each other in the eye.

"Shier, what do you mean?" His mother seemed to be getting a little angry. She pursed her lips and bared her teeth.

"What else could it mean? I just don't trust you!" I simply laid out my cards.

The mother sneered. "You don't trust me, I don't trust you!"

"You have to understand that I earned this money!"

"Without me, what can you do!"

In the end, my mother and I decided to split the money equally, at five hundred thousand dollars each. The box was hers. I found a snakeskin bag and put the money away. She dragged the suitcase back to the bedroom and slammed the door. I pulled the snakeskin bag of money onto the bunk and used it as a pillow.

With money, the pain in his body seemed to have lessened. But I didn't dare to sleep too deeply, for fear someone would steal the money away. However, as time passed, he could no longer control his drowsiness. Unknowingly, I closed my eyes and fell asleep.

I jerked awake, dazed, and reached under my head for the snakeskin bag, which was still there, hard and full of money. Only then did he heave a long sigh of relief. His heart was finally at ease. When he looked again, the sky outside was already clear.

He saw that the door to the living room was open. I couldn't help feeling annoyed. This mother is really something. She doesn't know how to close the door for me when she goes out! Don't you know that I'm asleep in the living room, with five hundred thousand dollars under my head! It's a good thing I woke up early. If I woke up too late and someone stole the money for me, I wouldn't even know!

But his mother was gone, and he couldn't find her at home. She did not come back from outside until noon. The whole family was waiting for her to cook! Zhao Xinxin cursed my mother countless times. Er Nizi had already started to eat raw vegetables. Yang Dabao carried a kitchen knife from the kitchen and was about to kill my old hen. However, he was stopped by Jin Yuxia, the eldest sister, saying that after killing the chicken, there would be no eggs to eat.

I had a bad feeling. Mother ran away. She had abandoned her home. I went to her bedroom and looked under the drill bed. I opened the cabinet and looked inside, but there was no money box. There was also a lot less clothes in the closet. The Electric Tricycle was also taken away by her.

She didn't come back until dark.

The family has lost its backbone.

Yang Dabao knocked out her big sister Jin Yuxia and stomped twice on her body, preventing her from getting up. He finally killed an old hen. He was sitting with Zhao Xinxin by the well in the courtyard, pulling off the feathers and peeling off the innards. He said that the big plate of chicken he stewed was very delicious, even better than the ones he sold in the restaurant. Zhao Xinxin was extremely happy.

Second Sister Jin Yuhong was close to going insane. She squatted beside Yang Dabao and guarded, her eyes staring at the chicken that had lost its feathers emitting a green light. Zhao Xinxin was afraid that she would snatch the chicken from him, hence she placed a shovel behind her to guard her. She raised her arm, as if she was going to pat the shovel on Second Sister's head.

I was really worried that Zhao Xinxin would actually dare to swing the shovel and smash Second Sister Jin Yuhong to death.

There was also her big sister, Jin Yuxia who was lying on the ground crying. Her hands were clutching under her ribs and her expression was twisted.

But I didn't have time to think about it now. I lifted the curtain from the hall, walked around the door, and went back into the house to sit on the snakeskin bag with the money. He was afraid that he would accidentally lose the snakeskin bag that was holding the money.

When I opened the curtain again and stood at the entrance to look, Yang Dabao had already plucked all the feathers from the chicken clean. Using a knife, he cut open its stomach, reached inside and pulled out a lump of internal organs, throwing it onto the ground. Second Sister Jin Yuhong quickly picked up the organs from the ground and stuffed them into her mouth. She didn't even chew much before gulping them down.

Yang Dabao scolded loudly: "Scram! "Don't leave it here to make people sick!"

"Bam!" Zhao Xinxin smacked the shovel down, causing Second Sister Jin Yuhong's head to bleed. Second Sister Jin Yuhong cried out in pain, she held her head and jumped up, running towards the path where the dogs were. It just so happened that the wolfhound was shitting a pile of dog shit next to the nest. She threw herself to her knees, ready to grab the shit. I immediately shouted to stop. Second Sister turned around and looked at me. The corner of her mouth was still smeared with chicken blood and her eyes were filled with tears.

I noticed that although she had eaten a lot, it had only been a few days. The flesh on her face had lost a lot of weight, almost to the point of being skin and bones, but her belly was very big. Feeling pained, I asked, "Do you eat instant noodles?" Second Sister quickly nodded, saying that he would eat, is that true? I said I'd give you two hundred dollars. Go out and buy it yourself.

The Second Sister Jin Yuhong stood up from the ground and stretched out her hand towards me. "Where's the money? "Brother!"

"Wait here, I'll get it for you! Stand here and don't move. Don't come in with me! "

Before returning to the house, I looked at Yang Dabao and Zhao Xinxin. I found the two of them staring at me, as if with ill intentions. I had to get out of this house, too, and don't let them give me the money.

I pushed aside the curtain and went into the hall. I quickly closed the door, bolted the door, and went to squat beside the floorboard. I opened the snakeskin bag and fished it out.

Something was wrong with his hand, why was it so big?! He slowly took it out and saw that it was actually a piece of white paper!

I suddenly felt the world spin around me.
