Chapter 87 Go to the old house to talk

"Mom, we've had breakfast." Lin Ping'er was a little disdainful, but she still wanted to save face, so she had to force out a smile.

When the old lady heard that the three of them were not here for a meal, her expression became much brighter, but her eyes towards Bai Ruozhu were still not very friendly.

Bai Ruolan was washing up in the yard. When she saw Bai Yihong and his wife, she didn't scream. She just snorted coldly, which was completely rude. Bai Ruozhu knew that this cousin didn't like her, so he didn't bother to pay attention to her.

The old man was drinking porridge in the house. When he heard the noise, he couldn't help but poke his head out. He frowned and asked, "Second brother, why did you come here so early in the morning? Did anything change yesterday?"

Bai Yihong was stunned. Unexpectedly, the old man misunderstood and said hurriedly: "It's not that, it's..." He paused and looked at Bai Ruozhu.

Bai Ruozhu was already sobbing and said, "Grandpa, the jade pendant that Changsheng left to me as a token of engagement was stolen!"

"What?" The old man was a little surprised. He naturally knew the importance of that jade pendant to Bai Ruozhu.

But before she could speak, Mrs. Wang walked out of the east room, yawned and said, "Why did you look for the old man when you lost your things? Is it possible that you still doubt the old man?"

Bai Ruozhu wanted to give her a big look, but she held it back, "How could it be? Grandpa is the elder of the family. I came here to see if he can help me find him."

The old man nodded, "That jade pendant has a different meaning, I have to find it back."

It seemed that the old man didn't know, and his expression at the moment didn't want to show off. Bai Ruozhu breathed a sigh of relief. If the old man acquiesced in this matter, it would be difficult to get the jade pendant back. Fortunately, she was overthinking, maybe the old man Talking about Wu Xiucai like that last night made her subconsciously think a little bit of the old man.

"There have been so many people coming and going in your house recently. I'm sure the person who built the house for you stole it." Mrs. Wang said angrily, "It's okay to build a house. If you have a little money, you have to use it. Now it's troublesome." Are you coming?"

Lin Ping'er couldn't bear it any longer, and glared at Mrs. Wang and said, "Why is my family so worried about having a house? When the boss gets married and doesn't have a house, do you want to wrong the girl from the Wang family? You said it's easy, how can we explain to the Wang family? "

"Hmph, marry a chicken and a dog and you will follow a dog. Why is she so precious?" Mrs. Wang did not dare to offend the Wang family, and her voice suddenly became much lower.

Bai Ruozhu pulled her mother to stop her from talking nonsense to Wang, so as not to divert the topic.

"Do you have any ideas?" The old man frowned and asked. He went to the house to have dinner. The people he invited were all good. He couldn't say which one he had doubts about.

"Where's Sanlang? He went to my house yesterday. I wanted to ask him." Bai Ruozhu said.

Mrs. Wang jumped up when she heard this, "What do you mean? With so many people going to your house, why do you suspect my Sanlang?"

Bai Ruozhu glanced at Mr. Wang calmly, "Why are you so excited? How could I be suspicious of Sanlang? It was my eldest brother who saw him going to my house. I want to ask him if he saw anything suspicious." "

Wang's expression calmed down, "Then if you don't explain clearly, people still don't know what to think about my Sanlang. What should I do if a good child has a bad reputation?"

Now the old man couldn't listen any more. He felt that Mrs. Wang was messing around, so he waved his hand to Mrs. Wang, "Go help your mother wash the dishes, don't talk nonsense here!"

Wang left reluctantly, her eyes still a bit sinister. Bai Ruozhu felt that Wang might not know about this.

After driving away the Wang family, the old man called Sanlang out, but Sanlang heard the noise and came out of the house, looking sleepy. How could he have the diligence of a young man from a farmer's family? The old man felt that he couldn't lose face, so he had to scold him.

"Are you up so late? You see, your brother has already gone out to cut pig grass." The old man said with a serious face.

Saburo hated it when others compared him with his two cousins, because every time he was compared, others would say that he was inferior in this or that way, that he was far behind in this or that way. This had even become a long-standing worry for him.

"Since Brother Da Lang is so filial, why didn't he cut some pig grass for me?" Sanlang muttered in a low voice.

Bai Ruozhu had no patience to waste time with them and said directly: "Sanlang, what did you do at my house yesterday?"

Saburo's face suddenly turned pale. After all, he was young and not so calm yet. He felt a little guilty when he was asked about it.

"I went to call Xiaosi to go home, and then left. Why? Are you still checking me?" Sanlang tried to calm down, his tone carrying a bit of a ruffian's tone.

The old man frowned, "Why are you talking to your sister? No matter how old or young you are, if your sister asks you, just tell her well. Have you seen anyone suspicious?"

"How could I see it? I went and left immediately. Who knows who took her jade pendant?" Saburo shouted.

Bai Ruozhu's eyes narrowed slightly. She made eye contact with her parents, and all three of them heard something suspicious. When Bai Ruozhu told the old man that the jade pendant was lost, his voice was not loud. Later, Sanlang shouted from the room, obviously he had just woken up. How did he know that the jade pendant was lost? It can be seen that he might be the first person to know that the jade pendant is missing.

"It seems that no one knows who stole it, so I have to report it to the official." Bai Ruozhu said helplessly, "That jade pendant is a token left by Changsheng. If he is seriously ill and cannot survive this test, then the jade pendant is The only thought he left for his children is so I have to find the jade pendant no matter what."

As she spoke, she took out the greeting card from her second brother, and added: "Fortunately, the county magistrate is a very smart and honest official. When the time comes, he will send someone to check clearly. There are so many neighbors in this neighborhood, someone must have seen it."

The old man frowned, "Isn't it good to report to the official? Aren't you going to offend someone?"

"If we can find out the real thief and let him go to jail, then we can really prove his innocence to the uncles who come to help at home, so that everyone will not be upset in the future." Bai Ruozhu said and handed over the greeting card. Her father said, "Dad, I can only trouble you to make a trip."

"The second brother is going to the town? Is there going to be a meeting in the village?" The old man still thought about Bai Yibo becoming the teacher, and he suddenly became anxious.

Bai Yihong shook his head, "If I can't find the jade pendant of immortality, I won't be able to explain it to the child in Ruozhu's belly. I can't wait for this matter. If it takes a long time, it will be even harder to catch the thief. I'd better go now." He made a gesture to leave.

Bai Ruozhu pretended to mumble unintentionally: "Let Mr. Li help me catch the little thief who killed a thousand swords. That jade pendant is still a bit valuable. I can definitely serve him in prison for a few years and make him suffer. I heard that in prison If you stay in there for a long time, you may not be able to come out again. Not only do you only have rotten food every day, but you are often beaten by the jailer and the villains in the prison at night. It is really not worth it to sacrifice your life for a jade pendant."
