In the blink of an eye, Sister Xia was accused of bullying children.

Lin Minjun remained calm and said, "Sister-in-law, I didn't bully the children. Taking things without permission is considered stealing. Even if they stole my money, it is still Erwa's money."

"Okay, you say it was stolen, then produce the evidence. If you don't have any evidence, don't talk nonsense!" Mrs. Xia put her hands on her hips and started yelling.

When it comes to stealing, it's best to catch the perpetrator in the act, so that both the person and the stolen item are recovered. That's ironclad evidence.

And Lin Minjun just said that it happened two days ago, and Sister-in-law Xia took advantage of this to make a fuss.

Lin Minjun remained calm. She started by saying that the potato was missing, then told Mrs. Xia about how the two generals Heng and Ha had taken money from her kitchen, and recounted the whole story.

"I just asked the two children, and Zhuzi has admitted that it was his brother who opened the door and stood guard at the door, allowing him to go in and take the money." Lin Minjun said, "They also said that the money was used to buy candies, and the candies are still here. This is the evidence."

Mrs. Xia rolled her eyes, her eyes shrewd, "Is this money for Erwa to buy you fried potatoes?" [Read novels on the official account: Jiuju Push]

"yes."

"You didn't see these things with your own eyes, but he told you everything from beginning to end?" Mrs. Xia asked again.

Lin Minjun still nodded, "Yes."

She didn't understand why Erwa was involved again, when she heard Mrs. Xia clapped her hands, "That's right, I tell you, Erwa must have lied from the beginning to the end. Erwa stole your fried potatoes without paying, and framed my two children."

"What did you say?" Lin Minjun was simply confused by what she said.

Mrs. Xia suddenly smiled and came forward to pull Lin Minjun's gloves on to get closer to her.

Lin Minjun pulled her hand back. "If you have something to say, just tell me. You don't need to drag me. Why did Erwa lie?"

Mrs. Xia: "You just moved in, so you don't know. My two children are well-known for being obedient and sensible in the yard. Erwa has been fond of stealing since he was a child, and he also likes to secretly beat other people's children in the dark. If he didn't do this, who else could it be?"

"But you two kids have already admitted that they took the money." Lin Minjun glanced at the two generals Heng and Ha, and at that moment, as if she knew that she had someone to support her, she ran behind her mother in a flash.

But Erwa, knowing that he had no one to support him, stood alone at the door with his fists clenched, not taking a single step inside.

There are two different opinions. Who is lying?

Mrs. Xia snorted coldly, "What did you admit? Erwa is good at beating people. There is a saying that goes 'beaten into confession'. Erwa must have stolen something and refused to admit it, so he dragged my son to force them to admit it."

"Erwa, do you have anything to say?" Lin Minjun asked Erwa.

Erwa opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, he was interrupted by Mrs. Xia, "What's the point of asking him? You little liar, you just like to lie."

Pulling Lin Minjun over, Sister Xia spoke more and more vigorously, her mouth was like a machine gun, not only Erwa couldn't interrupt, even Lin Minjun couldn't say a word.

Sister Xia: "Minjun, listen to what I have to say. This child has a tough life. He has brought misfortune to his father, mother and brother. He has brought misfortune to all his family members, but he still doesn't learn his lesson. He bullies other people's children every day. Do you think such a person can speak the truth?"

In Xia's eyes, Erwa is simply a pest. Not only does he have problems as a human being, but it was a mistake even in the way he was born. In short, all the bad things in the world are because of Erwa.

Lin Minjun was most annoyed when people brought up superstition as an excuse, and she had just clearly seen Erwa had something to say, so he probably had other evidence.

But as soon as Mrs. Xia brought up the issue of bringing misfortune to his parents, the child lowered his head and stopped talking, as if he had really made a mistake.

"His mother was murdered when he was born, and a few years later his father also..." Mrs. Xia became more and more excited and outrageous as she spoke.

"That's enough!" Lin Minjun ran out of patience and suddenly raised her voice, which made her sister-in-law too lazy to shout, "What does what you said have to do with this matter? Now we are talking about who took the money. Now you say your child didn't take it, but where is the evidence? We found candy in his pocket."

This shout scared Mrs. Xia. She thought Lin Minjun was ignorant!

"You can't just say that I stole money to buy a piece of candy. I bought it for my child, is that not okay?" Mrs. Xia was aggressive again.

"Okay, you said you bought it, right?" Lin Minjun pulled Erwa in, and the two confronted each other, "Erwa, do you have anything else to say?"

Erwa went straight forward, stretched out his hand, and took out a bill from Shunzi's pocket while no one was paying attention. "I spent ten cents on the candy, and there's ten cents left. This is mine."

"Hey, this is really interesting. Is it what you said? Is your name written on it?" When Xia's wife saw that Erwa wanted to open his mouth and point at the coin to speak, she immediately poked his heart, "You bad boy, your parents are dead, and you still have the nerve to speak? Do you have the nerve to do that? Let me ask you."

"You're still glaring at me! Am I wrong? Oh, you're hitting me and kicking me." Xia's wife screamed as Erwa kicked and kicked her. She pointed at Erwa and yelled, "Xiao Lin, look, is this still a child? He's so young and he's already hitting people. Do you still believe what he says?"

As she said this, she raised her hand, as if she was about to give Erwa a slap.

What Mrs. Xia said just now was really unpleasant, and Lin Minjun couldn't bear to listen to it. Besides, she was tall and strong, and a child would be slapped away by her if she slapped him.

With quick eyes and hands, Lin Minjun pulled the second child behind her and patted him on the shoulders twice, signaling him not to move. She didn't know whether he understood or not.

Facing Xia's angry eyes, Lin Minjun asked back: "I don't believe anyone, but you just said that the dime was given to the child by you?"

"Yeah, what's the matter? Is it not possible?" Mrs. Xia's tone was still full of anger. She slapped and hit herself repeatedly, and it felt like her legs were broken by the kick.

"Are you sure?"

"That's the money I gave you." Mrs. Xia said it decisively.

Lin Minjun turned around and took the dime from Erwa's hand, looked at it carefully, and suddenly slammed the table, "It's really interesting, there's someone else's name written on this money."

The name written on this banknote is not Xia, but Yan Shao.

"It's my name." Erwa said silently, "I originally handed the money in to the school, but the teacher didn't want it and asked me to take it back."

There is no mobile payment in schools nowadays, so teachers will ask children to write their names on paper money so that they can count who has paid and who has not.

"Sister Xia, don't you think it's strange that the money you gave to the child was written in Erwa's name." Lin Minjun asked again, "Did you go to Erwa's house to get the money, or did your child steal Erwa's money?"

This is a life-threatening question. Either the adult stole the child's money, or the child stole someone else's money.

The situation reversed at this moment. Sister Xia was left speechless by the question. She opened her mouth for a long time but didn't say a word.

She had to choose the lesser of two evils. At this time, she could only say, "How could an adult like me take money from a child? Maybe Shunzi didn't know and took the wrong money?"

"How could he come into my kitchen and take something from under the bowl?" Lin Minjun asked again, "Taking something without asking, isn't that stealing?"

"You can't say such harsh words, can you?" Xia's wife said, trying not to yell any more. "I apologize, I apologize to you, okay? I'm sorry."

"You should not only apologize to me, you should also apologize to Erwa and Comrade Yan Shao." Lin Minjun pulled Erwa to the front, "And you should also pay money! This kid is taking a big blame."

Do I have to pay for it? Mrs. Xia took a deep breath, her eyes almost popped out, and she was on fire from head to toe. The child just played a joke, how could she not pay for it?

But Lin Minjun's next words were like a basin of cool water, cooling off her anger.

"To tell you the truth, Erwa just said he was going to the police station to report the case. Now it is said that he will be severely punished. Not to mention 20 cents, even if it is two cents, the police will conduct a strict investigation when they find out. By then it won't be as simple as paying compensation. It was me who persuaded Erwa not to report the case. You have to give him an explanation." Lin Minjun was scheming and said this deliberately, using the tiger's skin and pulling the banner.

After living a new life, Lin Minjun finally figured it out. If people were polite and kind to her, she should repay them with kindness and sincerity. If people were rude to her, why should she be kind? If she was too kind, she would be like Lu Deping's family in her previous life, who were taking advantage of her.

Mrs. Xia was frightened. "The child is only five or six years old. The police won't care."

"Who knows? How about calling the police to ask?" Lin Minjun threw the question back.

"No, no, no, don't call the police." Mrs. Xia didn't dare to gamble, and reached into her pocket to take out money, "If you want to lose money, then pay it. How much do you want?"

"Double!"

It hurts!

Mrs. Xia didn't dare ask them to report to the police, so she could only reluctantly give Erwa a few banknotes.

Lin Minjun: "I have to apologize. Otherwise, Erwa will get angrier and angrier when he gets home. What if I report him to the police?"

"I'm sorry! That's enough." Mrs. Xia squeezed out these words from between her teeth.

"Okay, let's go." Erwa shook Lin Minjun's hand.

The Xia family is indeed not easy to deal with. Although Lin Minjun has not yet met Aunt Xia, she has already decided in her heart to have less contact with this family in the future.

Erwa was walking in front, and she was one step behind. When she was about to walk out of the Xia family's gate, she heard Xia's wife yelling behind her. The voice sounded unwilling, "You really want to be a self-employed person, you are greedy for money! The child just took a little thing, but you have to be so fussy."

Lin Minjun paused, "Sister Xia, this is not just taking something, this is stealing. If you steal a needle when you are young, you will steal gold when you grow up. If you don't discipline him, the country will discipline you in the future, and it will be too late to cry then. And I am just like this. I may turn a blind eye to other things, but I must consider this kind of right and wrong!"

When I looked back before leaving, I saw Mrs. Xia still mumbling, obviously she didn't hear what I said.

Lin Minjun couldn't help but worry for the two generals Heng and Ha. Some people have been trying to have children for twenty years but still can't, and have suffered a lot. Some people become parents easily but don't raise their children well.

It is better not to have children than to give birth but not raise them.

However, this matter had nothing to do with Lin Minjun, and the thought only flashed through her mind as she and Erwa walked out of the yard one after the other.

Although Erwa is small, his legs are not short and he walks faster than Lin Minjun.

However, when they walked into the yard, Lin Minjun found that Erwa deliberately slowed down his pace and looked back at her from time to time, as if he had something to say.

The money will be returned, and his innocence will be restored. What else does he want to say?
