Chapter 214 It’s hard to guard against domestic thieves

Yan family.

Yang Ruihua sat on the bed with his clothes on and said to Yan Bugui:

"Did you hear what I just said to you?"

"The Jia family put the mourning hall in Shazhu's home. No matter how I think about it, I feel it is inappropriate."

Yan Bugui was wearing glasses and fiddling with his fishing gear.

I plan to try my luck in the wild river in a while to see if I can catch a few fish to improve the food for my family.

He pushed his glasses up slightly and asked:

"Did you persuade him?"

Yang Ruihua said:

"I told you!"

"I also told Lao Yi that it was inappropriate to do so."

"In the end, Lao Yi scolded me harshly."

Yan Bugui smiled softly.

Isn’t this Yi Zhonghai’s usual style?

He said clearly:

"okay."

"You've said what you should have said."

"If Silly Zhu is happy, what else can others say?"

Yang Ruihua was still a little depressed, but after thinking about it, he felt that what Yan Bugui said made sense, so he sighed and said nothing.

At this time, Yan Bugui also packed his fishing gear into the bag.

The couple was getting ready to go to bed when they suddenly heard a loud noise breaking out in the yard outside.

Jia Zhang carried the wooden box in one hand and dragged Qin Huairu to the yard with the other, shouting:

"Come out and take a look!"

"I can't survive! I can't survive! God is going to kill me!"

She cried and said:

"Come and have a look, no matter how hard you try, you can't prevent a thief from roaming your own home!"

Qin Huairu didn't say anything and let her pull her and cry.

It was already night, and many people in the yard were getting ready for bed.

But when they heard the noise, many people came out wearing their clothes.

Seeing people gathering around her, Jia Zhang pushed the empty wooden box in front of them and cried,

"Neighbors, look, this heartless person is trying to kill me!"

Yan Bugui stepped forward and said:

"Dongxu's mother, what's going on?"

Jia Zhang said:

"I was doing some work for Dongxu today, so I wasn't home all day. But when I went back just now, guess what happened?!"

"There's not a penny left in my box. It's all gone!"

Everyone was surprised:

"Ah, what's going on!"

Jia Zhang glared at Qin Huairu with her triangular eyes and said:

"What else could it be! It must have been stolen by that shameless little bitch!"

After hearing this, everyone shook their heads secretly.

I think there is something wrong with Jia Zhang. When the money disappeared, her first reaction was not that it was stolen, but that she suspected that her daughter-in-law had taken it.

Yang Ruihua curled his lips and said:

"Dongxu's mother, don't say that first."

"I don't think your house has been robbed."

Jia Zhang stared and said:

"Yes! It's true that we have been robbed, and it's a thief in our house!"

At this time, Sha Zhu also heard the noise outside and heard Jia Zhang's voice. He guessed that she must be looking for trouble with Qin Huairu again, so he quickly ran outside to see what was going on.

When she arrived, she just heard Jia Zhang pointing at Qin Huairu's nose and scolding her.

Sha Zhu couldn't help but say:

"That's too harsh to say."

"Why are you slandering me without asking any questions?"

"Why do you say that she took the money?"

Jia Zhang snorted:

"Let her speak for herself!"

"Does she dare to say that she didn't take the money?"

At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu met everyone's gaze, slowly raised her head, and said something that surprised everyone:

"Yes, I took the money."

This time, even Shazhu was stunned.

Everyone looked a little embarrassed.

Just now everyone thought that Jia Zhang must have wrongly blamed Qin Huairu, and they all felt very sympathetic towards her.

Now the way people look at Qin Huairu has changed a little.

"Listen, did you hear that?"

"It's not even the seventh day of Dongxu yet, and you've already taken all the money. What do you want to do? Huh?"

"I discovered this early. If I had seen you, you would have taken the money and run away the next day. How would an old lonely woman like me live?"

As she said this, she sat on the ground, slapping her thighs and howling.

Although Jia Zhang's reputation was not very good, her words still aroused the sympathy of many people.

Yang Ruihua stepped forward and asked:

"Huai Ru, did you really take your mother-in-law's money?"

"Listen to Auntie. If you really took it, return it to your mother-in-law immediately and forget what happened today."

Qin Huairu turned her head towards Yang Ruihua. Before she spoke, tears were already streaming down her face:

"Auntie, neighbors, please listen to me."

"I took this money, but I didn't take it for myself!"

She wiped away her tears and said:

"Dongxu asked me to keep this money."

After she said this, everyone's eyes widened and the crowd began to talk.

"You, what do you mean?"

Qin Huairu said:

"Originally, I didn't want to talk about this."

"Now that my mother-in-law has made a fuss, I might as well tell everyone the truth."

She took out a key from her bosom, showed it to everyone and said:

"This was given to me by Dongxu when my mother-in-law and I went to see him for the last time that day."

Jia Zhang's eyes turned red with anger and she said:

"You bullshit!"

"How could Dongxu do this?"

"It's obvious that you stole it!"

Qin Huairu ignored her and continued:

"My neighbors, everyone has seen what my mother-in-law does on a daily basis."

"If there is food in the house, Xiaodang will have to go hungry until she is full."

"The last time Dongxu and I went back to Qinjiagou, how did she treat Xiaodang?"

"She ate meat buns herself and made Xiaodang eat leftover porridge every meal. When Dongxu and I came back, Xiaodang had lost a lot of weight."

As she spoke, she wiped her tears with her sleeve.

Many people have heard about this incident, and Jia Zhangshi cannot deny it.

Jia Zhang looked embarrassed, but still said firmly:

"She's just a little girl, it's good enough for her to have porridge to drink!"

"She still wants to eat meat buns, does she deserve it?"

Qin Huairu's eyes were red: "That's your granddaughter, right?"

"If Dongxu and I came back a few days later, would you have starved Xiaodang to death?"

"Dongxu saw all of this."

"He was worried about you and that we would suffer, so he let me take the money from the family."

Jia Zhang pointed at Qin Huairu and said:

"You said yes?"

"Everyone, don't listen to her nonsense!"

"For so many years, Dongxu has handed his salary to me, how could he give it to her?"

Qin Huairu was not to be outdone:

"Dongxu has seen everything you have done over the years."

"He knows that if the money is kept with you, Xiaodang and I will have no way to survive, so he let me keep it!"

She picked up the key in her hand and said:

"This key was handed to me by Dongxu himself. Doesn't that explain everything?"
