Chapter 205
Cui Li was furious and heartbroken. She had no way of defending herself: "I didn't steal the money! I..."
She suddenly thought of something and pointed at Liang Tianxiong and said, "It must have been Liang Tianxiong who stole it!"
Liang Tianxiong didn't expect Cui Li to push the blame on him. His expression of watching a good show paused, and he shouted, "It's not me! It's my stepmother!"
"It's you!" Cui Li insisted, "I saw you secretly hiding and eating egg cakes and peach cakes!"
Although Liang Tianxiong is very spoiled at home, he can be described as lawless. However, the Liang family is very tight on money and will not easily buy snacks for Liang Tianxiong. Even if they do buy some for him, the family will know about it and will not buy it for him secretly.
Aunt Liang didn't believe Cui Li's words and said in disgust, "Don't put the blame on Tianxiong. If you stole it, then it's yours. Don't try to wrongly accuse Tianxiong!"
"That's right!" Liang Tianxiong said angrily, "I didn't steal the money, it was you, stepmother!"
"If you don't believe me, go and search Liang Tianxiong's house yourself!" Cui Li looked at Liang Nan and said.
What she had just said was not a lie; she had indeed seen Liang Tianxiong secretly eating the egg cake and peach cake. Liang Tianxiong had discovered her and quickly put away the uneaten egg cake and peach cake, glaring at her fiercely and saying, "What are you looking at!"
She guessed at that time that the egg cake and peach cake were probably of unknown origin, and were not secretly bought for Liang Tianxiong by Aunt Liang or anyone else, otherwise Liang Tianxiong would not have reacted so strongly.
However, she didn't take it too seriously at the time, nor did she think of reporting it to Aunt Liang or Liang Nan, because she didn't want to cause trouble for herself.
Now that I think about it, Liang Tianxiong must have bought those egg cakes and peach cakes with money he stole from home!
Although Cui Li was not completely sure, she could not think of anyone else who would steal Liang Nan's money except Liang Tianxiong.
After hearing what Cui Li said, Liang Nan rushed to Aunt Liang and their family's room - Liang Tianxiong, Aunt Liang and Liang's father slept in the same room.
Cui Li, Aunt Liang, and Liang Tianxiong went together.
There are two beds in Aunt Liang's room. Aunt Liang and Liang Nan sleep on one, and Liang's father sleeps on the other.
Liang's father had heard their quarrel in the house. When he saw Liang Nan rushing in and searching everywhere, Liang's father didn't say anything.
Liang Tianxiong stared at Liang Nan nervously and said in a loud voice, "Dad, you really believe what she said and don't believe me!"
Aunt Liang hugged Liang Tianxiong and disagreed, "How could Tianxiong steal money? You don't even trust your own son, but you believe the words of an outsider."
Cui Li also stared at Liang Nan nervously. She wasn't entirely sure that Liang Nan would be able to find anything.
Liang Nan searched the house thoroughly but found nothing.
Liang Tianxiong became excited: "See? I told you I didn't steal the money, but you still don't believe me, Dad!"
"Now you should believe that Tianxiong did not steal the money. How can you doubt your own son?" Aunt Liang said dissatisfiedly.
After a pause, she continued, "If you ask me, it's likely that Cui Li stole your money."
Cui Li didn't say anything, but started searching the house.
Aunt Liang was furious: "What are you doing! This is not your house, why are you rummaging around? Stop pretending, you must have stolen Liang Nan's money!"
"I saw Liang Tianxiong eating egg cake and peach cake with my own eyes. I didn't lie." Cui Li replied, thinking carefully about the scene when she caught Liang Tianxiong secretly eating egg cake and peach cake that day.
"You're still pretending!" Aunt Liang yelled, "Don't think you can put the blame on Tianxiong just because he's a child. Liang Nan, I don't think she'll tell the truth unless you teach her a lesson!"
Cui Li suddenly thought of something and knelt on the ground awkwardly, trying to touch the wall.
Seeing this, Liang Tianxiong got anxious and ran over to push Cui Li: "You evil woman! It was obviously you who stole the money, but you wrongly accused me! You evil woman, you evil woman, I'll let my dad and grandma beat you to death!"
Liang Tianxiong cursed, pushed and pulled Cui Li, and none of Aunt Liang and the other three came to stop him.
Fortunately, Cui Li really touched something.
There was a loose brick under the wall where the table was. Cui Li took it down, reached inside, and pulled out an oil-paper bag.
She took out the oil paper bag.
Seeing this, Liang Tianxiong became anxious and pounced on her to grab the oil-paper bag.
Cui Li's belly was already very large, and her movements were clumsy and slow. Liang Tianxiong pounced on her so hard that she fell back and hit the table leg, hissing in pain.
Liang Tianxiong successfully snatched the oil-paper bag, but in a moment, the oil-paper bag was taken away by Liang Nan.
Neither Aunt Liang nor Father Liang had expected an oil-paper bag to be hidden there. They didn't even know there was a place where something could be hidden. Everyone's attention was focused on the oil-paper bag, and no one paid attention to Cui Li, who was hissing in pain.
Liang Nan opened the oil-paper package with a sullen face. Inside were a few peach cakes and egg cakes. Considering Liang Tianxiong's overly excited reaction just now, it was clear what he couldn't understand.
"Where did these peach cakes and egg cakes come from?!" Liang Nan yelled at Liang Tianxiong, "You stole money from home and bought these things?!"
"I..." Liang Tianxiong blushed and was unable to defend himself.
It was indeed he who hid these peach cakes and egg cakes there, and it was indeed he who bought them with money he stole from home. But he did not steal Liang Nan's money, he stole Aunt Liang's money!
Moreover, he only stole a few cents each time, and Aunt Liang didn't notice.
If Cui Li hadn't remembered that when she ran into Liang Tianxiong eating peach cakes and egg cakes that day, there was a brick on the ground, and the brick was under the table, Cui Li would not have thought of touching the wall under the table to try her luck.
"These things are not mine, I didn't steal your money!" Liang Tianxiong could only shout like this.
How could Liang Nan believe him anymore? He slapped Liang Tianxiong in the face, making half of his face numb, and after the numbness, he felt a piercing pain.
"You dare to steal money from home at such a young age!" Liang Nan said viciously.
Liang Tianxiong was beaten so hard that he started crying and sobbed, "I didn't steal your money..."
He was about to say, "I stole my grandma's money to buy these." Aunt Liang was heartbroken to see her most beloved grandson being beaten. She pulled Liang Tianxiong into her arms and said, "I bought these things for Tianxiong and asked him to hide them secretly. Is that okay?"
Seeing that Aunt Liang was defending him so much, Liang Tianxiong could only swallow his words and sob.
