Chapter 886 Cheap Uncle 2
The shop owner continued to tell Zhao Yunting, "At first, the eldest son was very filial, trying to coax the old lady into telling him where the remaining burial objects were buried. But when he learned that the old lady didn't know where the old man had buried them, he couldn't pretend to be filial to her anymore."
"I heard last year that his old lady was starving to death, and the utility room was dirty and smelly. The old lady was lucky to have survived until today."
Zhao Yunting then asked, "What about his other two sons? What kind of people are they? How do they treat the old lady?"
The shopkeeper thought for a moment and said, "The third brother is a good person, but he is insignificant and has no ability. He can't even feed himself, so how can he take care of the old lady?"
"His second son is even worse. He's good at eating, drinking, whoring, gambling, and smoking. He gives all his mining earnings to the young widow or spends them on the poker table!"
Li Moer took out a bottle of Moutai from her bag and put it on the counter. She said to the boss, "Thank you for letting me know. This bottle of wine is for you. I wonder where the old lady lives now?"
The boss's eyes lit up when he saw the Moutai. He quickly lifted a hinged wooden board in the middle of the counter, walked out, and pointed to a three-story brick building about 400 meters away. He said, "Look, that tallest brick building is the boss's house."
Li Moer's mind covered the room and saw eight people, seven men and one woman, sitting at the table drinking.
The main seat was occupied by a man in his fifties. Li Moer thought he looked familiar. After thinking about it, she realized that Xiaohu looked about the same as him.
I guess this person must be her adopted uncle. Next to him is a woman in her thirties with heavy makeup. The rest of the people, except for the one with a pointed face and monkey cheeks, are glancing at the woman with their eyes.
Li Moer sneered and muttered, "If this man's wife is beautiful and coquettish, then he must have a lot of friends!"
What puzzled her was that the old lady was not found in the three-story building, and she didn't even find her in the basement. However, she found a lot of cash and several large yellow croakers in the basement.
That amount of cash must be at least tens of thousands. It seems that this cheap uncle really has some money. No wonder a few decades later, coal bosses can spend hundreds of millions to marry off their daughters, and invite many A-list celebrities to join in the fun!
The cheap uncle stood up, holding a glass of wine and said, "Hey guys, as long as you keep a close eye on those poor guys and don't let them slack off, and dig up more coal, you will definitely benefit. Come on, let's go!"
At this time, a man came out from the brick and tile bungalow next door. He looked about 60% similar to his cheap uncle, but was five or six years younger. Li Moer guessed that this should be his cheap second uncle?
The cheap second uncle entered the cheap first uncle's room and saw a table full of delicious food and wine. He swallowed his saliva and said, "Brother, you are too stingy. You didn't even ask me to drink with you. You are really stingy the more you have!"
The cheap uncle glanced at him and said, "What the hell are you talking about? You drunkard, you've been drinking all day. Sooner or later you're going to die from the alcohol, or from a woman's belly. Look at you, your cheeks are drooping. I think you might not be able to resist that old man."
Hearing this, Li Moer was so angry that her teeth were itching. "You are so poor and you are showing off when you have two cents. When I find out the situation, I will rob you and see if you can still show off. You are so vicious. I will not let you beg for food for the rest of your life. I will be sorry for you, such a heartless thing."
The cheap second uncle didn't care about what his brother said at all. He happily moved a chair and sat at the table. He poured himself a glass of wine, tilted his head back, and drank almost two taels of white wine in one gulp.
Li Moer's eyes were wide open. Good guy, he is really a drunkard. His cheap second uncle, who had just had a drink, asked, "Brother, how is the old lady? Can she make it through the New Year?"
The cheap uncle said, "Huh, the old thing is really tough. She only eats one steamed bun every two or three days. She can't even freeze to death in such a cold storage room. She's really tough!"
But I guess it's just a matter of the past few days. These past few days, she's been constantly talking about that damned little sister, saying how sorry she is for not stopping the old man and us from selling her off. She never thought about how we could have survived without that bag of brown rice. Is it really necessary to hold a grudge against a money-loser for the rest of her life?
