Under Wen Qiao's persistent questioning, Lü Yazhi finally revealed what she secretly did when she went out to buy groceries.
“I was also thinking of earning more money, Xiao Qiao. Mom didn’t lie to you. I’ve only been away for a few days and I’ve already earned thirty yuan. I’m going to sell tea eggs outside the train station.”
"I can make this. I used to eat it all the time when I was little. I can make it taste just like this. Mom just cooked a few. Try them."
Wen Qiao was indeed a little tempted.
I was still angry a moment ago, but then I heard my mom say that she had earned thirty yuan in the past few days.
Wen Qiao's words softened.
"Mom, did you really earn that money selling tea eggs at the train station?"
Lü Yazhi said in a low voice:
“You’re my own daughter, would I lie to you? But it’s best not to let Ji Chuan know about this. He’s a deputy division commander. If people find out that a deputy division commander’s mother-in-law is selling tea eggs, it doesn’t sound good.”
Before Wen Qiao could speak, Li Qin, who was standing at the door of the main room, leaned forward and asked.
"What do you mean it's not good to say?"
Wen Qiao and Lü Yazhi were both startled by Li Qin.
But Li Qin was smiling, and it seemed that the money that had been stolen from her had been recovered.
"Sister Li, did you get your money back?"
Li Qin hurried forward, smiling excitedly as she said:
"Wen Qiao, I must say, your young mind is really sharp. You told me to hurry up and chase after them, so I asked Lao Wang to lend me his car. I went to the city train station right away, and I actually managed to corner them."
"Who stole the money?" Wen Qiao asked.
Wen Qiao felt that Xia Keke must have stolen it.
Li Qin said, "I didn't find it on Xia Keke, but I found my money in the pocket of a piece of clothing that Su Mei often wears in her bag."
“At that time, the mother and daughter got into a fight. Xia Keke said she didn’t steal it, and Su Mei looked at the money and couldn’t say anything to explain. Do you know what Su Mei said in the end? She told me to call the police.”
Wen Qiao paused for a moment.
"Did you call the police, sister-in-law?"
Even if calling the police doesn't arrest Xia Keke, it can at least intimidate her.
Li Qin said, "My husband already thought I was making a fuss. I figured I'd gotten my money back, so I didn't call the police and rushed back home."
Wen Qiao nodded; this was in line with Li Qin's style of handling things.
"This money must have been stolen by Xia Keke. Su Mei is not the type to steal."
Having attended university, she naturally possessed a certain air of sophistication. Although she was now down on her luck, she remained meticulous in her cooking and plating.
Wen Qiao said she wanted Su Mei to help her with her homework.
Su Mei does tutor Wen Qiao when she has time.
Moreover, every time Su Mei went to tutor Wen Qiao, she would change into clothes that didn't smell of oil and smoke, and wash her hands thoroughly with soap.
A person who respects cultural refinement, respects themselves, and constantly reminds themselves that they are a cultured person would not allow themselves to steal.
The only plausible explanation is that Xia Keke stole the money and stuffed it into her mother's clothes.
She never expected that Li Qin would drive to ambush them after discovering the money was missing.
After blocking them, Li Qin found the money.
Xia Keke then took the opportunity to say that she hadn't stolen any money.
But she didn't say that it was her mother who stole the money.
Those who don't know the truth will naturally assume that Su Mei stole Li Qin's money, since Xia Keke is just a child.
How could a little kid have the guts to steal two hundred yuan?
Su Mei was outsmarted by her own daughter.
Wen Qiao felt no pity or sympathy, only that he had brought it upon himself.
