Chapter 131 Stealing Corn (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Zhang Cui had recovered and calmly replied, "It's just a marriage. Since it's not suitable, it's better to break up sooner rather than later."

Zhou Tianyu was unhappy, "Mom..."

Zhang Cui was also very upset. In this day and age, whoever gets divorced will be gossiped about behind their back for the rest of their life.

But she had no choice. Zhou Qiang had already said he wanted a divorce. If she showed that she disagreed, even if she could continue the marriage with Zhou Qiang, his attitude towards her would definitely not be the same as before.

Some people have speculated on the reason for the couple's divorce.

"Is it because Wang Xiaohu revealed that Zhang Cui had a lover before marriage that Zhou Qiang is so angry?"

"It's not impossible."

"No wonder Zhang Cui is coming to Wang Xiaohu for money now. I guess Wang Xiaohu did steal her money before. Because she didn't want Wang Xiaohu to reveal her secret, Zhang Cui didn't pursue it. Now that everything has been exposed, she's given up."

Zhang Cui readily accepted, "That's right. Before, I was indeed afraid that Wang Xiaohu would say something he shouldn't have. Even though I knew he stole my money, I didn't teach him a lesson right away. But now I have no more scruples. He must take back the money he stole from me."

Zhou Tianyu glared at Wang Xiaohu, "You're a bad person."

Zhang Cui led Zhou Tianyu away, and no one stopped her.

Wang Xiaohu was still unconvinced and tried to rob the money, but Zhang Cui kicked him to the ground.

Wang Xiaohu fell flat on his face, but still stubbornly got up from the ground.

"Give me the money, it's all my money."

"You still owe me forty yuan. I'll come back to ask for it in a couple of days."

After saying that, Zhang Cui ignored Wang Xiaohu and continued walking forward.

The people around Wang Xiaohu looked at him with disdain or contempt.

Some people felt sorry for Wang Shuncai, thinking he was such a good person, how could his child be so disappointing?

As the people around him gradually left, Wang Xiaohu got up from the ground, feeling both tired and hungry.

He rummaged through the house and found nothing edible but a few eggs and some cornbread. However, he didn't know how to cook, so he couldn't eat these things.

He stood there crying, lamenting how miserable his life was.

At this point, he set his sights on Lu Ting.

He had given Lu Ting a lot of money before, but the meals they ate were not worth that much at all.

Logically, he should still be able to eat at Xu Qingmo's house.

Thinking of this, Wang Xiaohu got up from the ground and went straight to Xu Qingmo's house.

Xu Qingmo was roasting corn in front of the stove. The corn in her space was already ripe. She put a few in the fire, and soon they emitted a fragrant aroma.

Xu Qingmo took out the corn, and because it was too hot, she put it on the ground to cool it down.

Wang Xiaohu entered the house following the aroma and swallowed hard at the sight of several roasted corns.

"Wang Xiaohu? What brings you here again?" Xu Qingmo looked at the newcomer with displeasure.

Wang Xiaohu chuckled and rubbed his hands together, pointing at the corn on the ground, and pleaded, "Could I have a piece of corn? I'm so hungry, I haven't eaten all morning."

“There are plenty of people who haven’t eaten. If I give them all corn, what am I supposed to do?” Xu Qingmo retorted irritably.

“No one else will ask you for it, you only need to give it to me, and I promise I won’t talk to you while we’re eating corn,” Wang Xiaohu continued.

Xu Qingmo refused outright, "I made it very clear before, don't come through this door again. Don't you understand what I'm saying?"

"We're neighbors in the same residential compound, you don't have to be so mean to me, do you?"

"I don't owe you any corn, Wang Xiaohu. Does not giving it to you mean I'm bad? You're shameless. Get out of here." Xu Qingmo pointed towards the door, and Wang Xiaohu left reluctantly.

Xu Qingmo picked up the corn and cleaned it off. The fragrant corn was in front of her. She lowered her head and took a bite. The delicious taste exploded in her mouth.

Wang Xiaohu watched as Xu Qingmo ate half of it. He swallowed hard, realizing for the first time that corn could taste so good.

Xu Qingmo ate two roasted corns in a row and put the rest away.

Wang Xiaohu stared at Xu Qingmo's figure. Taking advantage of her leaving, he immediately ran into the house, hugged the rest of the corn to his chest, and ignored the black husks rubbing against his clothes. He then ran out of Xu Qingmo's house.

Xu Qingmo was very dissatisfied and hurriedly chased after him.

Wang Xiaohu deftly tore open an ear of corn and quickly stuffed it into his mouth.

"Wang Xiaohu, you're a thief! Who gave you permission to come to my house and steal food?" Xu Qingmo shouted angrily.

Ignoring everything else, Wang Xiaohu hurriedly stuffed corn into his mouth.

Zhang Cui happened to be passing by and called over the others, saying, "Everyone, take a look. Wang Xiaohu hasn't changed his ways. He not only steals money, but he's also stealing corn here. We should be careful around any family this kind of kid goes to in the future."

Wang Xiaohu felt a chill run down his spine as so many eyes stared at him.

Zhang Cui continued, "Many people didn't believe Wang Xiaohu stole my money before, but they've seen what he's doing now, right? Do I need to explain in more detail?"

People around started talking. Some suggested waiting for Wang Shuncai to return and then telling him about Wang Xiaohu. Others wanted Cai Qinqin to take Wang Xiaohu away.

Otherwise, if Wang Xiaohu continues stealing like this, everyone in the family compound will suffer.

If it doesn't concern you, you can stay out of it; but if it does, no one can just sit idly by and wait for their doom.

"Wang Xiaohu's actions are too egregious. I think we should send him to the higher authorities for disciplinary action."

"Fifty yuan is not a small amount of money. He's over ten years old and he's not completely ignorant. We should send him to be reformed."

“There are also some slightly older children who have already gone to the battlefield, and someone like Wang Xiaohu will be ready in a few years.”

"But he's dishonest, so no one dares to give him an important position."

With so many people pointing and whispering, Wang Xiaohu suddenly felt that the corn in his hand didn't taste so good anymore.

He immediately explained, "I didn't steal the corn to eat. I gave Lu Ting a lot of money so I could eat at their house, but he wouldn't let me eat here before I spent all the money. I was so angry that I stole the corn."

Xu Qingmo rolled her eyes. "You should know how much you eat. Lu Ting only charged you once, which is enough for you to get your money's worth. You're just stealing now."

"I didn't steal it. I didn't steal these. Don't accuse me of this." Wang Xiaohu refused to admit it.

Xu Qingmo didn't argue with him, but Zhang Cui immediately fanned the flames from the side.

“Wang Xiaohu still doesn’t admit to stealing, which shows that he considers these things to be commonplace. He has long regarded stealing as a habit and doesn’t think there’s anything wrong with it. This kind of view is the most terrifying.”

Wang Xiaohu felt inexplicably uneasy because he was disliked by many people.

So many people began to be wary of Wang Xiaohu, fearing that he would sneak into their homes.
