Qin Huairu returned to the courtyard in a daze.

The three aunts who were blocking the door asked, "Qin Huairu, what's wrong with you? Were you bullied?"

Qin Huairu hesitated for a moment and stopped: "Third Aunt, the bank no longer exchanges old money. Did you know about this?"

When the three aunts heard this, they felt it was a bit boring.

After a few months, everyone who needed to change their money had done so. Everyone had new money in their hands, and they would accept new money when buying things, not old money.

Who still has old money now?

"Isn't this normal? If you take your old money out now, no one will want it. By the way, why are you asking this?"

Qin Huairu wanted to cry but had no tears.

Others don’t have old money, but she still has old money.

When she heard He Yuzhu say at the meeting that old money would be very valuable in the future, she kept it in mind and kept hesitating about exchanging the money.

Later, I had a miscarriage and was hospitalized. Since I had enough money, I forgot about it.

When she went out today and heard other people talking about it, she realized that banks no longer exchange old currency.

If you keep the old money in your hands, it will become waste paper.

"I still have some old money in my hand that I forgot to change."

When it comes to this, the three aunts deeply agree.

"Not only you, I also have an old hundred-yuan bill in my hand. I couldn't find it when I was changing the money. I found it when I was cleaning the house two days ago.

I feel so sorry for you. How much do you have in your hand?

Qin Huairu has no empathy at all.

The third aunt said it was one hundred yuan, which would only be one cent if converted into new currency, which was far from the money she had left.

She couldn't say it, so she could only say, "I don't have much at home, just 20,000 old money."

When the third aunt heard this, she knew that she was not the only one who was being taken advantage of, and she felt more at ease. She pulled Qin Huairu aside and told her about her mental journey during this period.

Qin Huairu was extremely annoyed, but she couldn't dislike the third aunt, which was so awkward.

The third aunt pulled Qin Huairu aside and said that she was not satisfied yet, so she asked Zhou Sujuan who had just left: "Do you still have old money at home? Banks don't exchange it now."

After listening to He Yuzhu's words, the Li family did keep a little, but not much.

There is no need to tell this to the three aunts.

Zhou Sujuan said, "We didn't have any money at home. We didn't have much money at all, so how could we keep it? I searched the house and exchanged all the money."

Soon a lot of people gathered in the yard, chatting about the gossip they had heard.

Saying things like so-and-so forgot to change the money he put somewhere at home.

Qin Huairu was even more sad after hearing this. Others at most forgot to exchange old notes worth hundreds of thousands, but she had more than one million, which would cost more than a hundred yuan in new notes.

Jia Dongxu couldn't earn that much money even in half a year.

An old lady heard the noise outside and came over to join in the fun.

She saw that Qin Huairu's face looked bad, and remembered that Qin Huairu had some old money in her hand that she forgot to change, so she thought that she was afraid of being punished by Jia Zhang.

The first lady said to the people in the yard, "Keep your voices down. Don't let the old sister-in-law hear it. If she knows, she will torture Huairu again."

Everyone was afraid of being blackmailed by Jia Zhang, so they all kept their mouths shut and didn't mention the matter.

A lady comforted Qin Huairu: "Twenty thousand yuan is not a lot. It is much better than the money the Guo government gave out before liberation. Back then, it was a scam.

Your uncle and I saved up money for several years, and it was all wasted. "

Qin Huairu was reluctant to tell the aunt the truth, so she just answered her perfunctorily and left an emergency contact message before going home.

After three cat meows, the lights in the cellar came on a few times.

"Huai Ru, what happened? Why did you send me an emergency code?

When I saw your secret code after get off work, I wanted to rush to Jia's house to ask you. "Qin Huairu didn't say anything, but started crying first: "Uncle, why is my life so miserable?"

Yi Zhonghai comforted Qin Huairu in a panic: "What happened? Did your sister-in-law embarrass you again because of Sha Zhu's cooking?

Don't cry, I'll talk to Dongxu and ask him to take care of my sister-in-law."

Qin Huairu continued to cry, and the more she cried, the sadder she became.

Yi Zhonghai was completely helpless and could only scare Qin Huairu: "Huairu, don't cry. If others hear us, we won't be able to explain ourselves even if we have eight mouths."

Qin Huairu was also afraid that others would find out, so she could only stop crying: "Uncle, no one in the market will exchange old money now, what should I do with the money I have?"

Yi Zhonghai had heard about this from Auntie when he was having dinner. He praised Auntie for her good work and didn't let Jia Zhang know.

"You only have 20,000 old notes in your hand, right? That's not a lot. There are quite a few careless people in our workshop who forget to change hundreds of thousands of old notes."

Qin Huairu sighed: "Uncle, it's not twenty thousand old money."

Yi Zhonghai looked at Qin Huairu with some confusion.

The money of the Jia family was all in the hands of Jia Zhangshi, who would only take out a small portion of it every month for living expenses, and would not take out the rest even if she starved to death.

This is also the reason why the Jia family does not have enough money to spend every month.

As far as she knew, Qin Huairu shouldn't have much money.

"Could it be that your mother-in-law didn't exchange the money at the beginning, and now she is causing trouble for you again?"

Qin Huairu was about to cry again, and Yi Zhonghai was so scared that he quickly reminded her not to waste time.

She had no choice but to wipe away her tears and said, "It's not my mother-in-law. It's me. I lived frugally and saved 1.38 million old money, hoping to save it for Banggeng to marry a wife."

Hearing about so much money, Yi Zhonghai's mind exploded.

He couldn't save that much money in two months.

"Everyone else is exchanging money, why don't you do the same?"

Qin Huairu said: "Uncle, when we had the meeting, Sha Zhu told Uncle Xu and the others that these old coins will be very valuable in the future.

I thought it was a big loss to exchange 10,000 yuan for one, so I kept it. I never thought that banks would not accept these old notes.

I……"

Yi Zhonghai was so angry that he didn't know what to say.

He could only point at Qin Huairu and say, "You are usually quite smart, how can you believe what Sha Zhu said? Don't you remember what the Guomindang did before liberation?
That money is not even worth the waste paper. You..."

Qin Huairu defended herself, "At that time, our family was poor and I was young, so I didn't know these things."

Yi Zhonghai thought that Qin Huairu was from the countryside, so it was not easy to argue with her.

If Qin Huairu had less money in his hand, he would grit his teeth and pay for the exchange himself.

But this is not a small amount. He can't save that much in two months.

Yi Zhonghai is the best at pushing bad things onto others and taking good things for himself.

"You said you heard it from Shazhu?"

Qin Huairu knew Yi Zhonghai very well and knew that he asked this question most likely to push this person to He Yuzhu.

So Qin Huairu told Yi Zhonghai what he had heard that day.

Yi Zhonghai confirmed it again and again, and Qin Huairu also repeatedly assured that he did not lie.

"Since Shazhu told you, he should take the responsibility. Don't worry, I will make him pay the price for harming you."

Qin Huairu felt a little uneasy, but it was soon replaced by greed in his heart.

That was the money he had saved with great difficulty, and it must not become waste paper. She didn't care what Yi Zhonghai did, as long as he could change her money into new money.

Yi Zhonghai thought about it and felt that this was a good opportunity to teach He Yuzhu a lesson, so he said, "It's getting late now. I'll find Lao Liu and Lao Yan tomorrow and have a meeting together to criticize Sha Zhu."

Qin Huairu quickly pulled him away: "Uncle, don't do that. I saved that money secretly. I can't let my mother-in-law and Dongxu know about it. If they find out, they will beat me to death." (End of this chapter)
