Mrs. Ye couldn't stop crying, and kept blaming herself for her carelessness in her heart.
How can we let our guard down just because the Qin family has booked the inn?
Although what was lost was fifty taels of silver, for Mrs. Ye, what was also lost was her recent plans and aspirations for her future life.
Ever since she got the banknotes, she has been thinking about what to do with the money.
After returning to your hometown, if you separate and live on your own, you can use the money to buy a house or build a small house.
Save the rest and use it as a dowry for Qingtian later.
If we don't split up, then keep it all for Qingtian.
She had imagined various uses for it, but she never imagined that the banknote would be lost.
The children who were originally surrounding Qingtian were frightened by Mrs. Ye's sudden crying, and all looked towards her.
When Brother Ye heard the banknotes were lost, he ignored the injury on his waist and struggled to get up and asked, "Where did you put it? Look carefully. The Qin family has rented the entire inn, so no outsiders will come in. It shouldn't be lost."
Sister Ye shook the clothes in front of her and cried, "I put them here. I've looked everywhere, but they're gone—"
Qingtian didn't know why Mrs. Ye was crying, but when he saw her tears, he immediately ignored his own sadness. With his eyes still red, he crawled over and threw himself into Mrs. Ye's arms, stretching out his little hands to wipe her tears.
"Mom, don't cry, I don't want candied haws anymore!"
But Mrs. Ye couldn't stop crying at this time. She hugged Qingtian in her arms but still couldn't stop crying.
Qingtian didn't understand what was going on and started crying with her.
Seeing this, the other children did not dare to ask, so they quietly slipped out under the leadership of Ye Changxue.
Ye Changxue also thoughtfully helped them close the door.
Old Man Ye half-raised himself and searched his clothes and bag inside and out several times. After confirming that there were no banknotes, he frowned.
There's something fishy about this matter.
First of all, there were no signs of disturbance in the house.
This means that this person already knew where Mrs. Ye hid her things, and he went straight for the bundle as soon as he entered the house.
Secondly, the gold and silver jewelry in the bundle were not touched, only the silver bills were taken away.
If it was an outsider, wouldn't it be better to just take the bag away?
But now this thief is only after the banknotes.
What does this mean?
This means that it was not an outsider at all, but an internal traitor in the family.
Gold and silver jewelry are difficult to hide and can easily be caught red-handed, so only the silver bills were taken.
And when I think of the word "traitor".
The first person that came to Brother Ye’s mind was Guo’s figure.
"Don't cry, look for it again." Ye Laodao said, "I'll go talk to mom first."
As Boss Ye spoke, he stood up with difficulty and walked towards Old Lady Ye's room.
When he passed by Ye Laosi's room, he saw the door was half open, and he couldn't help but take a look inside.
Guo was just about to leave when she saw Boss Ye. Her expression suddenly became a little unnatural. She quickly raised her hand to cover her hair and greeted him with a smile, "Big Brother, are you looking for the fourth brother?"
Boss Ye stared at her for a moment, and seeing Guo's evasive gaze and increasingly unnatural expression, he felt even more that she was hiding something.
Guo was almost annoyed by his gaze, and then she heard him say, "I'm not looking for the fourth child. I'll go to my mother's room to take a look."
"Oh, haha, big brother is really filial." Guo responded casually, turned around and went back to the house, slamming the door.
Boss Ye became more and more suspicious, but he had no evidence.
When Old Lady Ye saw her eldest son coming, she was just about to ask about his injuries, but when she heard that the banknotes were lost, she almost fainted.
She pointed at Boss Ye's nose and cursed, "Are you and your wife stupid? Why are you leaving things like that when no one's in the room?"
"We are going to the market, but there are too many people here and we are afraid that our things will be stolen..." Boss Ye was so depressed by her scolding that he could only defend himself in a low voice.
Old Madam Ye said angrily, "Even if you leave your things in my room before you leave, I will keep an eye on them for you! How can I take advantage of your money?
"How dare you two leave banknotes and gold and silver jewelry in the room?"
"I just thought that since I'm surrounded by my family, nothing will happen..." Boss Ye became less and less confident as he spoke, and his voice became as soft as a mosquito at the end.
I only heard Mrs. Ye say: "You'd better pray to the Buddha for help, this is a thief from within!
"If this thief is inside our house, I'm 80% sure I can help you catch him.
"But if this thief isn't one of our family, then he could be a servant of the Qin family? Or he could be from outside.
"We don't have the ability to catch outsiders, and the Qin family has helped us so much, I don't have the face to ask them about this. You can only suffer this loss by yourself!"
Boss Ye understood this logic in his heart, and whispered his doubts to Old Lady Ye.
Upon hearing this, Old Lady Ye frowned and said, "The fourth son's wife is indeed not a good person and is rather selfish in her dealings with others, but I never noticed that she had any dirty hands before...
"This is no small matter, if you don't have evidence, you can't just talk nonsense.
"Not only will you wrongly accuse someone, but you might even ruin the relationship between you and the fourth brother."
Although Old Lady Ye did not like her daughter-in-law, Guo, she was always a reasonable person and would stick to the facts.
At least after such a long time since they got married, I haven't found any problems with the fourth son's wife, so it's naturally not right to wrongly accuse her.
"Mom, what do you think we should do now?" Ye Lao Da sighed. He really had no other choice. "Qingtian and her mother are still in the house, hugging each other and crying!"
