Seeing Ye Wangshu go to the kitchen, Li Xiaoxia felt uncomfortable no matter how she thought about it.
I didn't get any benefit from this incident today.
"No! Absolutely not! That old immortal must have completely fallen for that vixen, Ye Wangshu. I have to find a way to make everyone lose their good impression of that vixen. Who knows... maybe... that old immortal will see that I'm thoughtful and give me the jewelry!"
The more Li Xiaoxia thought about it, the more excited she became. She quietly walked to the window and stared at the kitchen and Zhou's mother's room.
Seeing Zhou's mother and Zhou Xiaohong carrying baskets out of the yard, and Ye Wangshu busy in the kitchen, Li Xiaoxia hunched over and entered Zhou's mother's room.
"I don't know where this old man puts his things." Li Xiaoxia frowned and began to rummage through the drawers.
After searching for a long time, I finally found a small red-painted box at the bottom of a clothes box.
Li Xiaoxia held the box and shook it, then suddenly had an idea and raised the box and smashed it against the bed leg.
With a "pop" sound, the box opened.
Lying inside were the jewelry that Zhou's mother had taken out today.
Li Xiaoxia was delighted. She picked up the jewelry and put it in her arms, then went into Ye Wangshu's room.
Looking at the brand new wardrobe and various items in Ye Wangshu's room, Li Xiaoxia was very jealous.
When she got married, there weren't so many good things!
Suppressing the bitterness in her heart, Li Xiaoxia opened the wardrobe and stuffed the jewelry into Ye Wangshu's pocket.
"Oh! Who moved my box!" When Zhou's mother returned to the room, she saw the small box thrown on the ground and her eyes immediately turned red.
She walked out holding the box, looking a little shaky.
"Mom, what happened?" Zhou Jinrui looked at his mother who looked sad and dejected, and hurried over to support her.
"Son! Our house has been robbed. Someone took out my box and stole all the jewelry inside!" Zhou's mother felt weak and leaned against Zhou Jinrui, as if she had lost all her energy.
Everyone heard the noise and rushed over.
Zhou Jinrui helped Zhou's mother to sit in the main hall, and looked at Zhou Xiaohong with a dark face, "Little sister, you are at home today, did you find anyone?"
Zhou Xiaohong shook her head and raised her hand to wipe her mother's tears.
At this time, Li Xiaoxia walked in with her son, and then looked at Zhou's mother with an exaggerated expression.
"What's wrong, mother?"
"There was a thief at home, and my mother's jewelry was stolen." Zhou Jinrui let out a long sigh, his voice full of helplessness.
"I'm afraid it's a thief!" Li Xiaoxia slapped her thigh and then pulled her son over. "Son! Tell me, what did you see?"
"After grandma and my aunt left, I saw my aunt go to grandma's room and take something back to her own room. There were two bracelets and earrings."
"Zhou Zhanpeng, is everything you said true?" Zhou Jinrui looked at his son, his heart burning with anger.
"Dad, I really saw it!"
Zhou Zhanpeng raised his little face and spoke in a very firm tone.
"Impossible! Mother even said today that she wanted to trade her jewelry for my second sister-in-law's wild ginseng. If my second sister-in-law really wanted it, she could just take it. Why would she have to steal it?!"
Through today's interactions, Zhou Xiaohong realized that Ye Wangshu was not who she thought she was, and she even developed a lot of good feelings towards her.
Seeing that Ye Wangshu was wronged, she spoke up to defend him.
"If she took it herself, how could she give it to her poor lover? It was stolen, and no one knew she had it, so she could just take it away!"
Li Xiaoxia's words were so convincing that Ye Wangshu sneered, "Sister-in-law, where do you think this thing is?"
"It must be you who hid it! Jinrui, go look for it in the second brother's room! You will definitely find it."
"Really? But I followed mother and younger sister out shortly after they did. Mother and younger sister saw it all." Ye Wangshu stared at Li Xiaoxia, his eyes full of cruelty.
Li Xiaoxia felt like she was being stared at by a poisonous snake. She couldn't help swallowing, "No, it's impossible. I saw you watching the pot in the kitchen when mother and sister-in-law went out!"
"My second sister-in-law said that food supplements are better than medicine supplements. She left the house almost at the same time as us, so she didn't have time to look for anything."
"Could it be that you, sister-in-law, are trying to frame me?" Ye Wangshu said with a sullen face, grabbing Li Xiaoxia's arm. "Tell me, where did you hide the things?"
Seeing everyone looking at her, Li Xiaoxia decided to give up. Her eyes turned red, she broke free from Ye Wangshu, sat on the ground and started crying.
"You are so biased! I have been married to your Zhou family for so many years, and what have I gained?"
"I have worked hard over the years, even if I haven't done anything meritorious! I gave birth to children, but I don't even have a piece of jewelry."
"Look at how many good things there are in the second son's room! My poor son doesn't even have a decent bed. If the second son hadn't married that vixen, my son would have been able to go to a good school!"
"Boss, why don't you say something? Why are you being so cowardly at this time? You are just a useless person who only knows how to watch your wife and children suffer!"
Zhou Jinrui felt sorry for his wife, but he also knew his wife's character. If he said anything, it would only make her more presumptuous.
Seeing his own mother crying so hard, Zhou Zhanpeng raised his fist to hit Ye Wangshu.
As soon as Zhou Jincong returned home, he saw his nephew about to hit his wife, so he ran over, grabbed Zhou Zhanpeng's collar with his uninjured arm and lifted him up.
"You bully my wife when I'm not at home?" Zhou Jincong threw Zhou Zhanpeng into his elder brother's arms and stared at Zhou Jinrui's family.
"What's going on?"
"It's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding. Second brother, don't be angry." Zhou Jinrui sighed and opened his mouth but didn't say a word.
"Second brother, the eldest sister-in-law wrongly accused the second sister-in-law, saying that she took mother's jewelry."
"Sister-in-law, I've always been so good to you, and now you're criticizing me because I got a little benefit. You've forgotten my kindness! I have such a miserable life~"
Seeing that everyone was on Ye Wangshu's side, Li Xiaoxia cried even more miserably.
After Li Xiaoxia had cried enough, Ye Wangshu finally spoke: "Sister-in-law, where did you put the things? If you tell me, we will pretend that this never happened. If you don't tell me... I will call the police and let them interrogate you."
Ye Wangshu could go look for it herself, but she was afraid she would be blamed if she found it. It would be better to threaten Li Xiaoxia directly and ask her to tell her where the jewelry was.
When she heard they were going to call the police, Li Xiaoxia immediately panicked, fearing that if she was a step too late, the police would find her. "It's in the pocket of the clothes in the closet."
"It was indeed my sister-in-law who hid it!" Ye Wangshu said this and turned into the room.
After handing the jewelry to Zhou's mother, everyone started to eat. The meal was eaten in silence.
"Don't be sad." Seeing Ye Wangshu's sad face, Zhou Jincong felt upset. "I'm sorry for making you feel wronged. I didn't expect my sister-in-law would do such a thing."
"It's not because of this, it's because of mother..."
"Did your mother bully you?" Zhou Jincong looked at Ye Wangshu in disbelief. His mother was a soft-hearted person and would never do anything to bully her daughter-in-law.
"What are you imagining?" Ye Wangshu pinched Zhou Jincong's face and then said, "Mother didn't bully me, it's just that her health isn't very good."
