Guo left Boss Ye's house and ran back to her own room in one breath.

She slammed the door shut and leaned her back against it.

Then he slid down the door panel weakly, sat down on the ground, and gasped for breath.

Guo was truly regretting her decision at this moment.

Come to think of it, that was fifty taels of silver, not five taels. Who would just give up on that?

If she had known that her elder brother and sister-in-law would report her to the police, she should have run away as soon as she got the banknotes.

With so much money in hand, you can live anywhere, so why do you have to stay in Old Ye's house?

But now that the banknotes have been discovered, Captain Zhang seems to have begun to suspect her, which has really blocked all her paths.

When Guo thought of the long knife on Captain Zhang's waist, she couldn't help but shiver.

It seemed as if the knife would be placed on his neck in the next moment.

If it was true as Captain Zhang said, that she would have to spend ten years in prison after being caught, she might as well just die.

Guo sat on the ground, hugging her knees and trembling.

The fear of going to jail has been deeply engraved in her heart since she was a child.

When she first remembered things, her uncle was arrested for committing a crime and was imprisoned for two years before being released.

A farmer who was exceptionally strong and sturdy when he was arrested, was so thin that he staggered when he walked, and looked twenty years older when he was released home two years later after serving his sentence.

My uncle's health was completely ruined. He couldn't do any farm work. He died of illness within two years of returning.

So when Guo thought that she might be thrown into prison, she became extremely panicked.

Now she just hoped that this matter could be resolved within her own family and not be brought to the government office.

The door was suddenly pushed from outside, hitting her back and failing to open.

Guo was so frightened that she thought it was Captain Zhang who came to arrest her.

"Who, who?"

"Are you in the room? Why is the door stuck and can't be opened?" Ye Laosi's voice came from outside the door.

Mrs. Guo breathed a sigh of relief, got up from the ground, opened the door a crack, looked around, and seeing that there was no one else, she reached out and pulled Ye Laosi into the house.

"Why are you acting like a thief..." Before Ye Lao Si could finish his words, he saw Guo's face covered with tears that she hadn't had time to wipe away. "What happened?"

"Boss!" Guo knelt down in front of Ye Laosi.

"What are you doing!" Ye Laosi was so scared that he almost jumped up.

"Boss, please save me!" Guo hugged Ye Laosi's legs and cried bitterly, "I really was just confused for a moment..."

Guo cried and told how she was bewitched by the devil and stole the banknotes, and how she hid the banknotes in the pear tree. She denied it last night out of fear, but now her elder brother and sister-in-law have called the captain of the police. She is scared and regrets it, and does not want to go to jail.

Ye Laosi was so angry at her that his heart ached.

"How dare you be so bold? That's fifty taels of silver, and you dare to steal it?"

"Boss, I felt like I was possessed by a ghost, I didn't even know what I was doing.

"Actually, I didn't really want to steal the banknotes, I just felt that my mother was being unfair in handling this matter.

“Since the family hasn’t split up, why should the eldest brother’s family take all the money?

"The more I thought about it, the angrier I got. By the time I came to my senses, the banknote was already in my hand...

"Think about it, if I really intended to steal this money, would I not run away as soon as I got it, or stay here and wait for someone to catch me?"

Compared with Ye Laosi, Guo's eloquence is obviously much better.

She fooled Ye Laosi with just a few words, and for a moment he even felt that what Guo said made some sense.

To put it bluntly, it was because he still had feelings for Guo, and they had not been married for long, so he had not yet completely recognized Guo's true face.

He knew that Guo did like to find fault and stir up trouble, but he always felt that she would not dare to do anything too outrageous.

While crying, Guo paid close attention to Ye Laosi's reaction. Seeing that his expression had softened, she immediately pleaded, "Master, I really know I was wrong.

"As the saying goes, a marriage lasting one day brings a hundred days of love, and a marriage lasting a hundred days is as deep as the sea. How much more than a hundred days have we been together?

"If you don't save me this time, I'm really finished."

Ye Laosi's heart was gradually softened by her tears. He sighed, reached out and helped Guo up, saying, "Now that things have come to this, how else can I save you?"

"Please help me talk to my mother and ask her to speak well of me to my elder brother and his wife.

"We're all family, and the banknotes have been found, so let's not pursue this any further, okay?

"Do you really have to put me in jail?"

When he heard Guo mention Old Madam Ye, Ye Lao Si suddenly came to his senses and immediately shook his head and said, "No, if you are truly repentant, I can accompany you to find your eldest brother and his wife to admit your mistake.

"How could you think of using your mother to pressure your elder brother and his wife?

"Besides, do you think that if you go to my mother to plead for us, she will speak for us?"

Ye Laosi's words reminded Guo that, indeed, compared with Old Madam Ye, Sister Ye was the one who was easier to talk to.

"But, but your elder brother and sister-in-law have even called the police chief. Can they forgive me?"

Guo tried to test the waters, wanting Ye Laosi to plead for her first.

After all, the four brothers of the Ye family have always had a good relationship.

When Mrs. Ye came into the family, Old Fourth Ye was still a little kid who had just learned to run.

Ye Laosi himself always said that his elder brother and sister-in-law took care of him like their own son.

If he is willing to help speak up, there might still be a chance for this matter to turn around.

Unexpectedly, Ye Lao Si said sternly, "Whether or not Big Brother and Big Sister-in-law can forgive you, you should first sincerely admit your mistakes and apologize."
