As they were talking, someone shouted, "Tao Chunhua and Huang Niu are back."
Everyone automatically made way.
When Tao Chunhua looked up, she saw the gloomy face of Old Mrs. Huang.
She shivered subconsciously and quickly hid behind the yellow ox.
The yellow ox was also frightened by the look in Old Lady Huang's eyes.
He quickly took a few steps back, but Tao Chunhua kept hiding behind him, leaving him nowhere to hide.
I had no choice but to lick my face and say, "Mom, what's wrong with you?"
Old Lady Huang sneered, "Where did you go? What did you take away?"
Huang Niu waved his hands quickly, "No, mother. We were weeding in the fields and just came back. Hehehe..."
"fart!"
The woman who had exposed the couple to Old Lady Huang before spat at them and said, "You clearly left the village and headed towards Tao Chunhua's parents' home."
Tao Chunhua's heart sank. She had been very careful and cautious, yet she was still seen by someone.
"Even if I went to my parents' house, how can I prove that I was the one who cheated?"
Old Mrs. Huang sneered, "Tao Chunhua, how do you know that my things were stolen?"
Tao Chunhua was stunned for a moment, then said: "I was just guessing, seeing that everyone was there, I thought maybe something was lost."
Old Mrs. Huang snorted coldly and said, "Do you think I will believe your nonsense?"
Tao Chunhua acted like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water, "Mom, you said I stole something, you must have evidence, who saw me stealing?"
This is not the case, but judging from her reaction, Mrs. Huang has already determined that she stole the money and things.
She asked the woman, "Sanqing, you said you saw them returning to their parents' home, but did you see what she was holding?"
The woman called Sanqing said: "It was far away, so I couldn't see clearly, but there should be a basket on his back. I don't know if there is anything in it."
Old Mrs. Huang cast a cold gaze at Tao Chunhua and said, "You should know that whether you steal money from home or steal from others, you will be arrested by the government!"
Tao Chunhua's eyes were obviously flustered for a moment, but she still refused to admit it.
Old Mrs. Huang said, "Since you don't admit it, let's leave it as it is for now. Thank you for your cooperation."
Muramasa stepped forward and said with a worried look on his face, "Sister-in-law, what are you going to do?"
"Let's leave it at that for now. I'm really sorry to bother you guys."
Everyone knew that Tao Chunhua must have stolen all the things and money.
Although there is no evidence, it does not affect the spread of the news. It is estimated that in two or three days, everyone in the surrounding area will know about it.
Tao Chunhua originally thought that Old Lady Huang would continue to pester her and was thinking about sneaking away.
But Mrs. Huang did not insist, but said calmly: "Make dinner!"
Tao Chunhua quickly pulled Huang Niu into the kitchen, where the two of them whispered to each other, occasionally accompanied by laughter.
Chen Jingui quietly asked Old Lady Huang, "Mom, what should we do if the silver is lost?"
Old Mrs. Huang smiled and said, "Just focus on your pregnancy. These things have nothing to do with you."
Although that’s what he said, how could Chen Jingui do it?
She kept feeling guilty, thinking that if she hadn't been lying down in the afternoon, this might not have happened.
Old Mrs. Huang knew what she was thinking and comforted her, saying, "It's okay, I just lost some loose change, about one or two taels of silver in total."
After hearing this, Chen Jingui's tears fell again. One tael of silver could help to save a little.
Old Mrs. Huang smiled and said, "Silly child, I will find it back."
As she spoke, she felt truly fortunate.
At that time, she had a bad premonition, and quickly exchanged all the copper coins for silver, and then divided the silver in the house into several parts.
He dug several holes under the bed that night and hid the silver coins in the holes.
This is how theft can be effectively avoided.
Chen Jingui asked, "Mother, how are you going to find it?"
