I

u001eJiang Xun heard a few sneers in the darkness and was quick to sense that the sounds came from the direction of Aunt Liu's house.

"Li Li, I know who did this." Jiang Xun pointed towards Aunt Liu's house.

"He must be holding a grudge against Jiang Hao for beating Xiao Hu, and he's trying to get back at us. Judging from this childish way of revenge, it must have been Xiao Hu who did it."

Ye Li's guess was only half right. The lock of their house was blocked. It was indeed to retaliate against Jiang Hao for beating Xiao Hu. But besides Xiao Hu, Aunt Liu also blocked the lock.

"Mom, where is our mousetrap?" Ye Li asked Zhao Xingmei.

"Why are you looking for a mousetrap? I haven't seen any mice recently." Although Zhao Xingmei asked, she had already handed the mousetrap to Ye Li.

Ye Li put the mousetrap in front of Aunt Liu's door and then went back to the front of the house and said loudly: "Jiang Xun, look! Why is there five dollars in front of our door? Who dropped it here at night?"

"I don't know. It wasn't there when we went out, right?" Jiang Xun said cooperatively.

...

...

"Yeah, I don't know who dropped it in front of our house, I can use this five dollars to buy something delicious tomorrow!"

As soon as Ye Li finished speaking, he heard the door of Aunt Liu's house open.

Aunt Liu said hurriedly, "Ye Li's five dollars is mine!"

"No way, how can the money in front of my house be yours? This money is missing a small corner, is it yours?"

"It's mine! Give it to me quickly!" Aunt Liu just stepped out of the door and screamed the moment she stepped on the ground.

"My feet! Who put the mousetrap at my door?" Aunt Liu was wearing big sandals, and her five toes were clamped tightly by the iron clamps. She sat on the ground in pain and pried the mousetrap open with both hands.

Suddenly several toes turned red.

"We must have offended someone in our courtyard. They blocked the locks and set mousetraps." Ye Li spoke first when he saw this.

Aunt Liu wanted to curse at first, but after hearing Ye Li's words, she felt guilty and followed suit: "That's right, putting a mousetrap at someone's door is obviously revenge!"

"I don't know who is using such a childish method to take revenge. It's just a lock, so just replace it with a new one. We have to be careful these days. If we find anyone suspicious, we must catch him! Give him a good lesson!" As soon as Ye Li finished speaking, Jiang Xun pried open the lock. Ye Li turned around and was about to go back to the house.

"Hey! Ye Li, don't be in such a hurry to leave. Give me back the five dollars!" Aunt Liu shamelessly stretched out her hand to ask Ye Li for money.

"Oh." Ye Li took out five yuan from his pocket and was about to hand it to Aunt Liu, but suddenly she pulled her hand back.

"What's going on? Give it to me quickly!" Aunt Liu stretched out her hand to take the five dollars from Ye Li.

"Aunt Liu, please don't snatch it! I found a problem!" Ye Li pushed Aunt Liu's hand back.

"You don't want to admit it, do you? These five dollars are mine!" Aunt Liu was anxious. In order to get the five dollars, her five toes were caught red by the mousetrap. If Ye Li refused to give it to her, she would not settle the bill.

"It's not that I don't admit it, it's that I found out that the money is not yours!" Ye Li suddenly said.

"It's mine. I was walking around in the yard tonight and dropped it right at your doorstep. I was wondering why I couldn't find the five dollars anywhere." Aunt Liu kept talking nonsense as if it were true.

"Aunt Liu, your five-yuan bill is missing a corner. You just said that, but I found that the five-yuan bill in my hand is not missing a corner."

Ye Li spread out the five dollars in his hand and waved it in front of Aunt Liu.

"Oops, I remembered it wrong. My five dollars is not missing a corner." Aunt Liu quickly corrected herself.

"Aunt Liu is not like you. Anyway, the five dollars is definitely not yours. I will ask who lost it tomorrow." Ye Li put the five dollars back into his pocket and turned back to the house.

"Hmph! Damn, this little girl is so annoying!" Aunt Liu didn't get the five yuan, and her foot was pinched. She limped back to the house, feeling that it was not worth it.

After returning to the house, Aunt Liu kept scolding Ye Li. Zhou Lin, who had just returned, heard it. She frowned and said to her mother, "Mom, can you please stop causing trouble? Ye Li didn't provoke you, so why do you scold her so harshly?"

"The mousetrap at our door must have been set by Ye Li! This woman is so abominable, she must have used the five dollars to lure me into the trap!"

Aunt Liu suddenly came to her senses and realized that all this was Ye Li's conspiracy.

"If you weren't greedy and didn't go out to claim the five dollars, the mousetrap wouldn't have caught you. Ultimately, it's your fault."

Zhou Lin criticized her mother mercilessly.

"Why are you always so stubborn? What kind of magic potion did Ye Li give you to make you defend her every day? Even your own mother can't compare to Ye Li, right?"

Aunt Liu was furious when she saw Zhou Lin hanging out with Ye Li all day.

"I'm just on the side that has reasons. Mom, move Xiaohu to his bed. I want to get something." Xiaohu slept in Zhou Lin's bed tonight. Zhou Lin's passbook was in a wooden box under the bed.

"Don't make trouble so late at night, just go to Xiaohu's bed and sleep." Aunt Liu couldn't hold the sleeping Xiaohu. Although he was young, he was almost as heavy as Zhou Lin. He was a real little fat boy.

"I need to get something urgently! You and I will carry him back to the bed together."

Aunt Liu rolled her eyes at her daughter and followed Zhou Lin to carry Xiaohu back to her room.

"What do you want?" Aunt Liu came forward to see what Zhou Lin was doing, but was pushed out by Zhou Lin.

"Don't look at it! There's nothing to see." Zhou Lin pushed his mother out of the room and locked the door.

But Aunt Liu didn't leave. Through the crack in the door, she saw Zhou Lin take out a passbook from the wooden box under the bed.

"My goodness, he says he has no money every day. But he still has a passbook!" Aunt Liu was immediately angry. A few days ago, she borrowed money from Zhou Lin to buy something for Zhou Xuan's girlfriend, but Zhou Lin said she had no money and didn't give her a penny.

"Zhou Lin, open the door quickly, I saw the passbook in your hand!" Aunt Liu knocked on the door hard.

"Why are you shouting? Aren't you afraid that your house will be robbed?" Zhou Lin immediately opened the door and covered his mother's mouth.

"The money in my passbook is useful. It's useless even if you see it." Zhou Lin signaled his mother to stop shouting and took his hand away from her mouth.

Unexpectedly, Aunt Liu was quick-witted and snatched the passbook from Zhou Lin's hand, opened it and saw the numbers inside.

“Oh my god, how did you save so much money!”
