Chapter 036 Why is it always their family that loses things?

As it turned out, Li Mumu was too worried. Gu Yuru didn't think much about it and was just happy. She hugged Li Mumu again.

She wanted to say something, but Li Yuan came over. He had put on the shackles again, "Yu Ru..."

When Gu Yuru saw him, she felt disgusted, especially when he shouted, "Mumu, mother is going to cook."

Li Mumu nodded obediently. Is her scumbag dad starting to regret it now?

Isn’t that too fast?

Li Mumu felt contempt in her heart, so, a scumbag father is a scumbag father.

"Mumu, what did your mother say to you?" Li Yuan asked in a low voice.

Lin Siyan happened to come out to get the vegetables she had just bought, but she didn't see this side. Li Mumu said loudly: "Dad, did you ask what Mom said to me?"

Li Yuan frowned and cleared his throat, "Dad is just concerned about you."

"Oh, Daddy is concerned about Mumu, not Mom."

"Ahem..." Li Yuan's face showed more embarrassment.

After Li Mumu was sure that Lin Siyan's eyes seemed to want to bite them both to death, she smiled even more happily. With her around, her mother would never come back, but she could let Xiao San experience this feeling.

"Mom told Mumu to have a good meal tonight."

"Gone?" Li Yuan asked again, obviously he was a little skeptical.

Li Mumu nodded, "Yes."

"You were pretty quick at calculating before."

Sure enough, Li Yuan still had doubts.

Li Mumu cannot show her abilities, at least not before she leaves the Li family, otherwise it will only bring trouble to herself when she returns to her mother's arms.

"My mother taught me."

Li Yuan's eyes grew more serious. "Did your mother teach you this? What else did she teach you?"

"Recite poetry."

"Then recite a line for me." Li Yuan knew nothing about his daughter. He had gone out to fight in wars when she was still in his womb. He only knew from books that his daughter was mentally retarded.

"I slept through the spring without knowing the dawn." Li Mumu said crisply.

Li Yuan nodded, his face relaxed, "Continue."

"Spring sleep is so deep that I don't wake up until dawn. Mosquitoes and insects are everywhere. When a big bad wolf comes at night, no one can escape!"

After Li Mumu finished speaking, she eagerly waited for Li Yuan's praise, "Daddy, did Mumu carry it well?"

"Is this what your mother taught you?" Li Yuan's face darkened. He and Gu Yuru had been married for ten years, and he knew very well that she was a talented person who had read a lot of books and would never teach her daughter like this.

Li Mumu bit her lip and looked like she was about to cry the next second.

"Anything else?"

Li Mumu nodded vigorously, "Yes."

"back!"

"Oh!" Li Mumu puffed out her cheeks, "I slept through the spring without even realizing it..."

"Not this one, change it."

"Spring cotton doesn't wake you up until dawn..."

Li Yuan was overwhelmed by what he heard. "That's enough. It seems I'm overthinking it. Maybe you're just good at counting."

He walked away with a look of disappointment on his face and ignored his little daughter.

That night, both families had a full meal. Li Rong went to sleep after eating. After all, she was weak and didn't have time to cause trouble for Gu Yuru.

In fact, there is no point in looking for her. The Gu family heard that the child in her belly was killed by evil spirits and it had nothing to do with Gu Yuru.

Before going to bed, Mrs. Li repeatedly reminded me to take good care of my things. Although I couldn't guarantee that I would return to the capital to live a good life one day, until then, these were the only belongings I had left.

She slept with the rice bag in her arms, and the other clothes, meat, and medicinal herbs were distributed to different people, so that they could hold them in their arms if someone wanted to move.

After arranging all these, Mrs. Li was exhausted. After all, she was injured. She was too lazy to move and didn't see a doctor before. If she had known that the money would be used to ward off disasters, she would have gone.

My chest and back hurt right now.

But the next morning, the items were still gone.

After getting up, Mrs. Li wiped her drool and found that the rice bag that was supposed to be under her head was gone.

When he looked again, the things allocated to his children were gone.

"Don't sleep anymore. If you continue to sleep, you'll die."

"What are you making such a noise for so early in the morning? Do you want to get beaten?" the bailiff shouted angrily.

"Sir, sir, something bad has happened. Thieves have come again and all our things are gone." Old Mrs. Li said in a crying voice.

The yamen runner had one eye open and one closed, clearly still asleep. "Lost? Could it be that one of your people got greedy and stole some?"

"Who stole the food?" Old Mrs. Li looked at everyone, and everyone shook their heads and said it was not them.

"Sir, even if he stole the food, he wouldn't have eaten dozens of kilograms of rice." Li Yuan said.

"Just throw it away." The bailiff said, turned over and continued to sleep.

"We can't throw it away. It's our lives."

The next second, she was slapped by the yamen runner. She whimpered in pain and said, "Shut up."

With such a loud noise, the Gu family had woken up long ago. When they heard that there was another thief, they checked their things immediately and were relieved to find that they were all there safely.

But Gu Jian was also puzzled. Could this thief be a kind and righteous person?

He knew that the Li family was vicious and only stole from them, and he followed them here to steal, otherwise, two different thieves couldn't have the same modus operandi, right?

Zhao poked her husband, and Li Sheng said impatiently, "What are you doing? All your things are gone. What are you going to do in the future?"

Zhao gestured for him to go check on the Gu family. "How come they're okay?"

Li Sheng nodded, and just as he blurted out a word, he swallowed it back. He didn't want to be whipped. "Yeah, why did we lose it and not them? Could they have stolen it?"

This is what Zhao meant, but she didn't dare say it for fear of being beaten.

Li Sheng quickly found Mrs. Li and told her the couple's speculation.

When Mrs. Li saw the pile of food at the Gu family, her eyes sparkled with jealousy, but she also knew that the pile at the Gu family was just this big yesterday and not much more.

But why did they only steal from the Li family?

"Sir, Sir."

"Tsk... you haven't had enough beatings!" said the bailiff as he was about to swing the whip, but this time Mrs. Li dodged it.

"Sir, I want to report this. You see, both times things were stolen from our family, but nothing happened to the Gu family. This... this must be a problem."

The yamen runner opened his eyes impatiently and looked at the Gu family, "Is your belongings not lost?"

Gu Jian nodded, "No."

"Sir, look, I wasn't lying. The thief only stole from our house and not theirs. This... is really problematic."

The bailiff took a deep breath. This was indeed strange.

"Wait, I'll go find the boss." The bailiff said and hurried inside to look for someone.

Zhang Xiang arrived late.

When Old Lady Li saw him, she burst into tears and wailed, "Sir, you have to help us. Someone is colluding with the thieves and stealing our things time and again. They're trying to kill us."

At this time, Li Mumu stretched and saw this scene. She realized that she woke up at the right time. She was really exhausted last night.
