Chapter 341
Leng Zexi said softly, and at the same time reached out and took the money jar full of coins from Ningning's small palm.
He explained to Ningning seriously and solemnly: "Ningning, can you please give this to Dad?"
"If you don't play with it, you won't hear the tinkling noises, and your little heart won't feel sad or hurt."
However, despite this, Leng Zexi was still a little worried, so he added: "Tomorrow, Dad will take you to the hospital for a comprehensive physical examination to see if there is any problem with your heart."
After that, Leng Zexi deliberately used his other hand that was not holding the money jar to gently point at the position of Ningning's heart on her chest, and asked Ningning with concern: "Ningning, tell Daddy, your little heart is right here, do you feel uncomfortable now?"
At this moment, Ningning's big watery eyes were staring straight at Leng Zexi in front of her.
He was already feeling aggrieved for losing so much pocket money, and now seeing his father still wanting to confiscate his silver coins and asking him questions, the sadness in his heart instantly surged out like a flood.
Finally, Ningning could no longer control her emotions and burst into tears.
Tears rolled down his cheeks like beads that had broken off the string, and he sobbed and shouted to Leng Zexi: "Dad, doesn't your conscience hurt?"
Ningning's sudden cry was so earth-shattering that even Xia Ruoan, who was cooking in the kitchen, was startled.
She hurriedly turned off the flame on the stove and hurried out of the kitchen to check what was going on.
The two little guys, Sui Sui and Nian Nian, seemed to be infected by their brother's emotions. They nodded vigorously and echoed in unison: "Yes, Dad, don't you have a guilty conscience?"
Lin Cai looked at Leng Zexi suspiciously, his eyes were so sharp that they seemed to be able to penetrate the other's soul, and he asked, "What on earth did you do wrong? You actually made the child cry like this!"
At this moment, Leng Zexi felt that he was more wronged than Dou E. Seeing his wife walking out of the room, he waved and explained anxiously: "Ruo'an, this is really none of my business!"
"It was the little guy who started crying for no reason. It had nothing to do with me."
It happened in the blink of an eye. When Ningning saw her mother appear, she was like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins.
He ran forward quickly, hugged his mother's thighs, pouted his little mouth, and cried with tears in his eyes: "Wuwuwu...Mom, Dad bullied me!"
Hearing this, Leng Zexi was really at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and quickly explained: "I didn't."
However, Ning Ning didn't buy it at all. She turned around abruptly and pointed at Leng Zexi with her chubby little hand, accusing him angrily: "You are a bad guy, you have no conscience, and you lied to children."
What Leng Zexi didn't expect was that Sui Sui and Niannian also joined in the fun, echoing Ning Ning in unison, "You have no conscience, you lied to children."
For a moment, the shouts of the three little brats came one after another, echoing throughout the entire yard.
Faced with this situation, Leng Zexi was completely speechless. He crossed his arms, shook his head helplessly and sighed, "Who did I offend?"
"I just got home, okay? It was you little brats who fell down accidentally, and I was the one who picked you up one by one! Why are you blaming me now?"
Xia Ruoan stared at Leng Zexi, who obviously had not yet realized his mistake, and reminded him softly: "Zexi, what are you holding in your hand?"
Hearing this, Leng Zexi couldn't help but lower his head and cast his eyes on the object he was holding tightly in his hand, a small and cute money jar.
He frowned slightly, a look of confusion appeared on his face, and he slowly answered: "This... This is Ningning's piggy bank."
Xia Ruoan nodded slightly, indicating that he agreed with his statement, and then asked, "What's in it?"
"It's Ningning's pocket money." Leng Zexi replied.
"How much is in it?" Xia Ruo'an looked at him with a teasing smile and asked, "Well, since you know so much, why don't you tell me how much money should have been in this piggy bank? And now, how much is actually left?"
These words flashed through Leng Zexi's mind like a bolt of lightning, leaving him stunned for a moment.
Leng Zexi opened the money jar and examined the silver coins inside. He finally understood what Ningning meant. He also understood why he said he felt distressed and even blamed him for having no conscience.
A barely perceptible embarrassment appeared on Leng Zexi's face. He coughed lightly, trying to hide his guilt.
However, when he met Ningning's little eyes full of grievance and resentment, he couldn't help but feel a trace of guilt deep in his heart.
Unexpectedly, this little guy noticed the clues so quickly.
Lin Cai, who was standing aside, was full of confusion. He was completely confused by the silent communication between the two people in front of him.
He couldn't help but ask, "What on earth is going on? What are you two talking about?"
At this time, Sui Sui turned around, looked at Lin Cai with clear and serious eyes, and began to explain in detail: "Third uncle, this is what happened."
"Dad is such a bad guy! He only used a silver coin worth one dollar to cheat Ningning out of the hundred dollars. He cheated her out of all the money. In this way, Dad made a huge profit of ninety-nine dollars."
After hearing Sui Sui's words, Lin Cai was stunned at first, and then all kinds of complicated emotions suddenly emerged in his heart.
He looked at Leng Zexi in disbelief, opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he just shook his head helplessly. For a moment he didn't know how to comment on this matter.
After a while, Lin Cai took a deep breath, looked at Leng Zexi again, and asked with a reproachful tone: "Really?"
Leng Zexi just nodded somewhat embarrassedly, indicating his agreement.
Seeing Leng Zexi admit it, Lin Cai could no longer suppress his dissatisfaction. He frowned and said speechlessly: "I think you are a little too cruel."
"And you even want to cheat children out of their pocket money. How dare you do that!"
"I am completely impressed by you. You are really amazing. You can think of such a thing. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes today, I wouldn't have believed it." Lin Cai shook his head.
Lin Cai loves money, and if anyone dares to cheat him like this, he will fight to the death with that person.
