Chapter 177 I would actually steal money?
"What?" Ye Xiaomei's scalp tingled and her heart rose to her throat. She looked at Li Xiaochun in shock:
"Did you lose your money?"
"I lost fifty yuan, a whole bill, and you took it." Li Xiaochun raised his neck and tears as big as beans fell down.
"You... which eye of yours saw me stealing your money?" Ye Xiaomei was puzzled. There were some things she knew very well and didn't care about. She was also too lazy to play such house tricks with these people who looked older than her but were actually just children in her heart.
"Pa pa!" Wang Liang patted the corner of the table.
Ye Xiaomei glanced to the side and saw that the physics book was opened. There was indeed a fifty-dollar bill inside. It was new, with only a crease in the middle.
"What else do you want to say?" Wang Liang was so angry that his heart ached:
"I have always valued you, Ye Xiaomei. In the past few days, the principal and I have been running around with Professor Qin to ensure that you can continue to stay in school. You have committed illegal and disorderly acts such as stealing other people's property in school. Do you know that this stain is enough to prevent you from ever setting foot on campus again in your life?"
Wang Liang slammed his textbook on the table and said, "If you make a big fuss, this won't be a small amount. You'll go to jail."
Ye Xiaomei shuddered suddenly, but she was not scared. How could Ye Xiaomei, who was familiar with the Civil Code, not know the outcome?
She just suspected that Li Xiaochun deliberately harmed her to completely eliminate any possibility of her staying in school.
She tried hard to recall the details. She remembered that she had indeed been near Li Xiaochun's seat during the break yesterday. That was to discuss developing a new flavor of dumplings with Shang Zhen. She didn't even touch Li Xiaochun's desk.
Then after school she would leave her schoolbag in the dormitory and go out to set up her stall. Of course, she would lock the door because she would keep some of the change she earned every day as change and for buying meat and other things the next morning.
The whole bill will be deposited in the savings bank, so it is too insecure to leave the door unlocked.
When they returned to the dormitory, it was certain that no one had been there. However, Ye Xiaomei went out to make a phone call in the evening and went to sleep after returning.
"You were the one who put the money in my book, right?" Ye Xiaomei recalled briefly.
"Me? I put my own money into your book? I'm stupid, that's fifty yuan, not just a few yuan. If you find out and don't admit to spending it, what should I do? Wouldn't I be paying my grandma?"
Li Xiaochun gritted her teeth in anger and said, "Don't be a thief and then blame others. You must have never seen such a large amount of money since you came from the mountains. Otherwise, why would a pregnant woman set up a stall in front of the school to make money? You must be crazy."
There was no loophole in this statement. Then Li Xiaochun cried and said, "Teacher Wang, this is my pocket money for ten days. If you hadn't given me justice, I wouldn't even have money to buy a pen."
"Please keep this money first." Wang Liang saw that she was crying and looked like a jerk, so he quickly handed her fifty yuan.
"Thank you, Teacher Wang." Li Xiaochun was so angry that he quickly added, "We can't just let this go. She is a thief."
Ye Xiaomei knew very well that if she was labeled a thief, she would not have a chance to turn things around:
"I didn't steal it. Although I came from the mountains, your fifty dollars is really not enough for me."
"Stop bragging. If you had money, why would you sell dumplings? I think you are just greedy for money and pretend to be kind." Li Xiaochun interrupted quickly: "You stinky thief, I am ashamed to be in the same class with you."
"If you feel embarrassed, you don't have to go." Ye Xiaomei thought that educated people would not have such bad character. Suddenly, she remembered what a man said before, that some people are very educated but do things worse than animals:
"Teacher Wang, I think you should ask the students in the class. There are so many eyes watching us, and I don't believe that everyone can see the truth."
When saying this, Ye Xiaomei looked at Li Xiaochun subconsciously. She was surprisingly not surprised and even supported him:
"Okay, I agree. Ye Xiaomei has good grades, and everyone trusts her. Don't be such a ruthless little top scholar who thinks I have bad grades and wishes her the best of luck."
She wasn't afraid at all? Why?
I thought that I would not be able to attend the first class of this morning.
Wang Liang stood on the podium and gave an opening speech: "I'm sure you all have heard something, so I won't tell you directly. Tell me, did anyone see Li Xiaochun putting money into Ye Xiaomei's schoolbag yesterday?"
As soon as these words were spoken, there was a long sigh.
——It seems that the money that Li Xiaochun lost was really found in Yip Xiaomei’s schoolbag.
——That's right. Didn't you see that? I felt sorry for her before. It's not easy to go to school while pregnant, and she also has to set up a stall to earn a living. But now——tsk tsk tsk tsk.
Even Shang Xuetang didn't dare to support Ye Xiaomei. Everyone thought the same as him. They set up a stall while attending school because they were poor, and they would definitely want to take their classmates' money for themselves because they were poor.
"Be quiet." Wang Liang patted the table and said, "Zheng Manyue, you two are often together. What did Li Xiaochun do yesterday?"
Zheng Manyue stood up and told everything: "In the morning, we went to the restroom during the break. During the other break activities, we were skipping rubber rope with the girls from Class 2. We walked together after school. She came to the front row during the break of the second class in the afternoon, but she was there to ask Zhou He for advice. Zhou He can prove it."
Zhou He stood up and said, "Yes, she doesn't understand my deskmate's book."
After Zhou He sat down, he looked at Ye Xiaomei with gentle eyes. He was just telling the truth. But if it was really Ye Xiaomei who took the initiative to steal and hide it in the book, then it was just a presentation of reality.
"Bullshit, can this prove that Ye Xiaomei stole money?" Shang Zhen was so angry that she planned to go back and have a good lesson with Ye Xiaomei. It was useless for her to just think about living a good life. There were always many scumbags looking for trouble:
"Ye Xiaomei came to my seat yesterday and didn't touch Li Xiaochun's desk. As soon as we got out of school, we had to rush back to make dumplings at noon. In the evening, as soon as we got out of school, we rushed to the dormitory as if boiling water was boiling. We had to set up a stall."
When talking about this, many female classmates smiled. They thought that all the students in the school, including the teachers and the principal, were not as busy as them.
"Just keep your words to yourself, but don't swear." Wang Liang patted the desk helplessly.
"So you two have no connection with each other, then how did the fifty yuan end up in Ye Xiaomei's book?"
"She must have stolen it when no one was paying attention, otherwise the money would have grown wings..." Li Xiaochun insisted.
After saying this, Ye Xiaomei suddenly turned around and looked at Li Xiaochun who was sitting in the back seat.
Li Xiaochun felt a chill in his heart, and was so frightened by the coldness in Ye Xiaomei's eyes that he suddenly stuttered: "Could it be that I flew to her...her book?"
Ye Xiaomei slowly stood up, turned around, turned her back to the podium and faced Li Xiaochun and other classmates:
"Li Xiaochun, don't act so righteous. It doesn't matter whether the money flew into my book or someone stuffed it into my book. What matters is that you found a chance to put the money into my schoolbag. It's not as simple as just in class."
Li Xiaochun's face was obviously pale, but she cleared her throat and raised her head and said:
"If you still don't admit it, then send it to the Academic Affairs Office. If the Academic Affairs Office can't handle it, then let the police handle it."
"You have fifty dollars, and you think you can call the police? It's not even as much as I make from selling dumplings in a day."
——Ah? No way? Do you make money like that?
——I thought it would be great if I could make a dozen or twenty dollars a day.
Li Xiaochun's face was extremely ugly. If she could earn so much in a day, why did she wear the kind of flowered shirts that people in the countryside wear? Even her sweater was made of a lot of old wool.
It’s even more colorful than the flower beds at the entrances of government agencies.
