The legitimate daughter of the marquis, Lin Ran, who had just experienced the loss of her mother and the only relative in her maternal family, was plotted against by her father and stepmother, but ...
Wang Zhaodi's face froze for a moment when she heard this, but she still stammered and tried to make a final struggle.
"Mom, I earned all that money by taking huge risks and relying on my own abilities. Do I have to hand it over?"
Shen Wenfang sneered when he heard this.
"Why? Didn't you sell things from home? Didn't the rice, pickles, and the cloth you used for your hair flowers come from home?"
"But there are also wild mushrooms in it that I worked so hard to pick from the mountains behind. They can't be from home, right?"
Wang Zhaodi still refused to give up and exposed all her past secrets.
But she forgot a saying: old ginger is always wise. How could she possibly defeat her own mother-in-law?
Shen Wenfang scored the winning goal with just one sentence.
“You didn’t eat the wild mushrooms at home?
So, what about the work points you earned from taking leave and slacking off? How do you calculate that?
Stop talking nonsense and hand it all over to me!"
Now Wang Zhaodi was completely speechless. She could only go back to the house with a wronged look on her face and work hard to dig out the watch that she had just buried.
In fact, Shen Wenfang did this for Wang Zhaodi's own good. Only by taking all the money would Wang Zhaodi have no motivation to take risks again.
Shen Wenfang counted the money in his hand. Wow, it was quite a lot, more than ten yuan.
No wonder speculation is so dangerous, yet so many people still do it.
Wang Zhaodi has only been there a few times and has earned ten yuan, which is almost enough for half a year's work.
But even though she thought so in her heart, she still remained calm and confirmed again and again:
"Is that really all you have? You haven't hidden any more?"
"That's all. I really don't have any hidden stuff."
Wang Zhaodi was really about to cry.
In fact, she also wanted to hide some, but the things she stole were all there, and coupled with the wild mushrooms that she had revealed herself, Shen Wenfang could guess the approximate amount by just a casual calculation.
Of course, the extra dollar she left as a reward should be fine, right?
Thinking of this, Wang Zhaodi felt a little uneasy.
Fortunately, Shen Wenfang did not delve further into the matter.
The main reason was that she had roughly calculated the value of those things in her mind, and it was about the same as the ten dollars.
Even if Wang Zhaodi really hid some, it wasn't much.
She couldn't push people too hard.
After ordering, Shen Wenfang put the ten yuan into his trouser pocket.
To be honest, if this happened in the past, she would have had to hold the ten dollars several times.
It’s because my family is so poor.
But her perspective is different now. After all, she also owns gold bracelets and gold bars.
In her eyes, the ten dollars were just icing on the cake. Although she was happy, it didn't cause much of a stir.
She was more concerned with something else.
"This watch looks similar to your aunt's, but it feels more refined and beautiful than your aunt's."
Lin Ran took it and took a look, and found that they were indeed Shanghai license plates.
However, this one is obviously more high-end and probably more expensive.
As Shen Wenfang spoke, she began to worry.
"This watch doesn't look cheap, but what should I do with it? Should I return it?"
After all, this thing was snatched from Zhou Manman by Wang Zhaodi, and it was really hot to hold.
Boss Lin stared at the watch in Lin Ran's hand with envy and couldn't help but say:
"But we just proved tonight that my second brother's wife didn't steal the watch. If we return it now, wouldn't it be a waste of effort? We'll even be branded a thief for nothing."
I think it’s better for us to keep it for ourselves.
Anyway, this cannot be blamed on my second brother's wife. It is Zhou Zhiqing himself who has bad intentions.
If she hadn't been so greedy and repeatedly threatened my second brother's wife, she wouldn't have taken her watch."
Could Shen Wenfang still not see Boss Lin's subtle thoughts? She glared at him unhappily.
"What? Can you return it in a big way? I'm sure you'll return it quietly!"
Besides, keeping this hot thing in your hand is like being a thief, who would dare to take it out and wear it?"
Having his thoughts exposed, Boss Lin touched his nose in embarrassment and dared not say another word.
However, Wang Zhaodi was still a little angry.
"But Zhou Manman threatened me like that, so am I just going to let it go like this?
If she hadn't come over tonight to make trouble, I would never have gotten back the money she took."
Speaking of this, Lin Weiguo and Shen Wenfang both looked unhappy.
But their family was in the wrong, because it was Wang Zhaodi who was engaged in speculation.
But this watch is indeed a bit difficult to handle. They feel uneasy if they keep it, and there are risks involved, but they feel unwilling to return it to Zhou Manman.
I was a little confused for a moment.
In the end, it was Lin Ran who came up with the idea.
"Mom, leave the watch with me for now. I'll just throw it away in the back mountain one day. Whoever finds it will own it. It has nothing to do with my family anyway."
Shen Wenfang's eyes lit up immediately when he heard this.
"That's a great idea! Ranran is really smart!"
Anyway, she didn't want the watch, so it was just right to get rid of the trouble.
Moreover, Zhou Manman's disturbance today had made her lose all good feelings towards Zhou Manman, so naturally she didn't feel any guilt.
Even Lin Weiguo agreed to this idea without hesitation.
But Boss Lin and Wang Zhaodi suddenly became anxious.
This is a watch, it's worth at least a hundred dollars. Are you just going to throw it away?
The two of them rolled their eyes and quickly rushed to say:
"Mom and Dad, why don't you let me throw it away? I go to the back mountain to pick mushrooms occasionally, so it's convenient."
Boss Lin was not willing to be outdone.
"Mom and Dad, I think it's better for me to go. I often go to the back mountain to collect firewood, so I know where it's more secluded."
