Chapter 438 Exposed

Lin Xia went forward to take a look, and sure enough, the room was so empty that even a mouse would curse.

"Can they eat so much? I don't see them gaining any weight." Lin Xia was a little worried. They had eaten quite a bit at lunch and dinner, and it was not right for them to eat so many snacks.

Yang Hongmei thought of the two monkey-like figures of Dajun and Xiaojun, and she felt a little headache: "Who said it wasn't true?"

Lin Xia paused, "No!" and turned and left the kitchen.

"What's the matter?" Yang Hongmei followed behind Lin Xia.

"Look at the trash can." Lin Xia pointed into the trash can.

Yang Hongmei was puzzled: "What's wrong with the trash can?"

"It's too clean. If they really ate it, the trash can wouldn't be so clean."

"Has this trash can been cleaned before?" The children in the family have good living habits after being trained. Yang Hongmei thinks that maybe they have cleaned it before.

Lin Xia shook her head and said with certainty: "I dropped this rope yesterday morning. They never fell down."

"Then where did it go? Could they have eaten it out?" Yang Hongmei speculated.

Lin Xia turned around to look for something and saw Lele's bag on the sofa. After hesitating for a few seconds, she reached out and took it and opened it.

She has always respected the privacy of her three children at home. She usually doesn't go into their rooms to look at anything, and she hasn't looked at their school bags since elementary school.

Thinking about how these kids have been acting a little mysterious for a while, and also about the abnormalities occurring at home.

Lin Xia felt that it was time to investigate, otherwise these kids might make some big noise one day and catch them off guard.

"Isn't this bad? Didn't you say that we should respect children's privacy?" Yang Hongmei was very surprised to see Lin Xia searching the schoolbag. It was Lin Xia who told her to respect children and not do this.

"Special treatment is required in special times. Now it's these brats who are causing trouble." Lin Xia felt something was wrong as soon as he took it in his hand.

When the box opened, Lin Xia was stunned to see it was filled with snacks.

"This?" Yang Hongmei was stunned and turned to take Xiaojun's schoolbag. These two people were the only ones in the family who had such big hearts and liked to throw things around.

When Yang Hongmei opened it, she found that the bag inside was the same as Lele's. "Why do they put all the food in the bag?"

Lin Xia turned around and saw that other people’s backpacks were not in the living room. They were probably left in the room.

After rummaging through the two bags, Lin Xia's eyes narrowed and she reached out to take out a bag of candy: "I don't think we bought this candy?"

Yang Hongmei took a closer look and said, "I don't remember this."

"mom?"

Lin Xia turned around and saw Lele standing at the door, having just put down his hands that were rubbing his eyes.

When he saw the schoolbag in Lin Xia's hand, his face suddenly turned panicky.

Lin Xia smiled gently and asked, "Can you explain?"

Lele's face froze, then he explained with a flattering smile: "It's nothing, I just get hungry when I go out to play, so I put it in my schoolbag."

"What about this?" Lin Xia held up another schoolbag. "With so much food, are you planning to run away from home? How many days do you plan to eat it?"

"Ah?" Lele was stunned by the question.

Before he could react, Dajun and Xiaojun came out from behind him. When they saw the schoolbag in Lin Xia's hand, their expressions changed instantly.

"Do your two sisters know?" Lin Xia narrowed her eyes. It seemed that this was a gang crime.

"Go wake up An An and Ning Ning."

Seeing that the truth had been revealed, Lele went to knock on the door with a pale face.

When these brats sat in a circle dejectedly, Lin Xia looked above their heads and realized that this was a collective action, so she was not so angry anymore. However, her face was still cold, and none of them dared to raise their heads.

"Tell me."

Several people lowered their heads and looked at each other, trying to refuse each other with their eyes.

Seeing that they were not going to confess, Lin Xia knocked on the table slowly: "Tell the truth, don't even think about lying."

"An An, you go ahead." Seeing that no one looked up, Lin Xia directly called out their names.

An An saw Lin Xia's angry look with a bitter face, and she panicked and immediately ignored Lele's eyes that asked her to lie.

I closed my eyes and confessed everything: "We are making money."

"Making money?" Lin Xia was startled and looked at her schoolbag: "Making money by selling snacks?"

An An nodded: "We sell candies and biscuits to children. Those children have pocket money and cannot afford a box of biscuits. We can sell a biscuit for a few candies, which is very popular with them."

Lin Xia almost didn't hear it clearly at first, and after she finished listening, she couldn't help but look at Yang Hongmei.

Seeing that she also had a surprised expression, Lin Xia gradually adjusted her expression. She was not the only one who was surprised.

"How did you come up with the idea of ​​selling this?" Yang Hongmei really didn't expect these kids to be so brave. Even when she decided to do business, she hesitated for a long time, fearing that the wind direction would change.

Seeing that An An had confessed, Le Le no longer concealed the truth. "We saw that you guys were making money by opening a store, so we thought about doing something to make money. Then we found that we had so many snacks at home, so we thought about selling them."

Lin Xia really didn't expect this to be the reason. Seeing so many snacks in their schoolbags, she thought these kids were unhappy and wanted to run away from home.

"Did you make any money?"

Seeing that Lin Xia had calmed down and looked less angry, Lele said, wanting to make amends: "We made money! We made a lot of money!"

Lin Xia raised her eyebrows when she heard this, feeling a little bit unbelievable.

"I'll go get the bag!" Ningning jumped up and ran to the room.

After a while, he came out with a schoolbag, opened it and put it on the table. A handful of money fell out, and a lot of coins were rolling everywhere.

Lin Xia took a quick look and found that there were actually two yuan bills in it.

"We sell cookies for 5 cents for two pieces, and fruit candies for 10 cents for three pieces..." Lele counted on his fingers to tell Lin Xia their prices, his eyes sparkling.

The kids nearby also had happy faces, and you could tell at a glance that they were very proud of making money.

Lin Xia couldn't help but twitch her lips when she heard the price. This box of biscuits cost them several dollars, but this brat only sold it for two pieces for five cents. He was simply a great philanthropist.

In the end, they were still happy and thought they had made a profit, but Lin Xia found it simply unbearable to watch.

After hearing the accounts, Yang Hongmei's face suddenly showed a look of heartache.

Lin Xia and Yang Hongmei looked at each other, their eyes full of helplessness, and patiently listened to the children talk about what happened next.

"But later my business was taken away. That person was so despicable!" Lele said with anger on his face.

"What happened?" Lin Xia raised her eyebrows curiously.
