Chapter 142 Stealing
From that day on, Xia Jinkuo got his job in the Archives Department as he wished.
Obviously it was a good thing, but Xia Yaoyao felt that her relationship with the Sangqi family seemed to be becoming increasingly distant.
Sang Qi hired a nanny to take care of the child at home. Zhang Xiaoqin did not agree at first, but the nanny was capable, looked after the child at home during the day, and did the housework very well.
Gradually, she stopped saying anything.
Xia Yaoyao took advantage of Zhang Xiaoqin's vacation and asked for leave to go to the Sang family.
She walked in with something in her hand, "Aunt, this cake tastes good. Many people are lining up to buy it recently."
Zhang Xiaoqin hummed and took the things. "Aren't you going to work today?"
"I felt a little uncomfortable this morning, but I feel better now." Xia Yaoyao changed her shoes and sat on the sofa. "Aunt, I came here to ask if my uncle has been very busy at work recently?"
Zhang Xiaoqin picked up the bottle of warm water and poured her some water. "Your uncle is always busy. He only has one or two days off a year. What's wrong?"
"Is that so?" Xia Yaoyao picked up the cup. "I thought my uncle was avoiding me on purpose. I always felt that he was different from before."
Zhang Xiaoqin's heart skipped a beat and she hurried to comfort Xia Yaoyao.
"How could that be? There are just too many people speculating recently. You don't know that people in those alleys are all setting up stalls. It's like a guerrilla war. They seize one store and move to another. Your uncle is also very busy."
Xia Yaoyao paused. As a person who was reborn, she naturally knew that it would be opened soon.
The crackdown is not strict now, and most people turn a blind eye to it. Why are they suddenly cracking down strictly again?
She asked carefully and found out that there was a leader above her with old-school ideas and she had to ask questions from time to time.
Sangqi did not think this was a serious matter. On the contrary, judging from the speeches of leaders in the daily newspapers, there were signs of opening up business.
But he had no choice but to accept the pressure from his superiors.
Zhang Xiaoqin tried hard to explain for her husband, and she heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Xia Yaoyao's understanding expression.
"That's good. If there is any misunderstanding between my uncle and me, you must tell me, aunt. I always treat you as my own aunt."
Xia Yaoyao took a sip of hot water and spoke in a coquettish tone.
Zhang Xiaoqin picked up the cup and took a sip of water guiltily, using the cup to hide the guilt in her eyes.
"Definitely."
Then Xia Yaoyao continued to chat with Zhang Xiaoqin as usual, thinking that she was no longer needed at home.
Xia Yaoyao suggested going shopping in the afternoon to take a rare break.
Zhang Xiaoqin has no friends in Suzhou, only colleagues. She seldom goes out shopping, and when she does, she takes her children with her, making a lot of noise.
Now that there is someone willing to go shopping with her, she is naturally happy.
She quickly agreed and went in to pick out some clothes for the afternoon. - Wind Chasing Island.
As October approaches, the black panther is getting bigger and bigger. Now when it goes out, people often turn around and stop to look.
The nest made for the black panther is a bit small. If it is stuffed with straw or waste cloth in the winter, it will not be able to stretch out when lying down and can only curl up into a ball to barely fit in.
Xia Mi had no choice but to go to Carpenter Wei's house again.
Black Panther also followed her.
The amount of exercise it needs now is much greater than before. Xia Mi rides the bike and Black Panther follows behind.
Before arriving at Carpenter Wei's house, I could hear a loud noise from afar.
Xia Mi parked the car and shouted to Black Panther, "Black Panther, sit down and wait for me here."
The Black Panther has received basic training, and it knows how to do things like sit, hold, lie down, and follow.
Black Panther sat upright, sticking out his tongue and looking at Xia Mi, as if to say, I'll be waiting for you here.
Xia Mi patted its head and said, "You are so good. I will cook some bones for you tonight."
After saying that, Xia Mi turned and entered Carpenter Wei's house, only to hear the noise still going on inside.
Because she was far away, Xia Mi thought someone came to find Carpenter Wei to break something, but when she entered the house she found that they were arguing.
"My child didn't take anything from you, stop talking nonsense."
"What about my child's tuition and the set of rulers? These are things we bought at the supply and marketing cooperative. My second child said that your son was the only one in the classroom at the time. Who else could it be if not him?"
The woman was extremely excited, spitting everywhere, and her face turned red from the exertion.
Carpenter Wei was protecting a child who was as tall as his shoulders.
"Wei Erwa said he didn't take it. I believe him."
"Who asked you whether you believe it or not? What's important is whether I believe it or not!" The woman rolled up her sleeves, ready to fight. "Today, either you pay back the money, or return the things and tuition fees in full."
"Aunt Niu, it's not me who took it, why should we compensate you?"
The child behind Carpenter Wei was unwilling to give in.
"Who else could have taken it if it wasn't you?"
This is like a dead end, it's impossible to explain it clearly and it doesn't make sense.
Carpenter Wei noticed Xia Mi standing at the door, and his expression changed instantly, "Comrade Xia, are you here to break something?"
Xia Mi nodded, "Yes, I also want to ask you to help me make a doghouse like last time. The previous one was too small. Do you still have the blueprint?"
The woman was interrupted in the middle of an argument and looked at Xia Mi with dissatisfaction.
Carpenter Wei pushed the child behind him and said, "Go back to your room first."
"Remember, what size do you want to make this time?"
Xia Mi hadn’t thought about it either, she fell into deep thought.
The woman whispered, "It's so rich that a beast can live in a house."
These words happened to fall into Xia Mi's ears. In fact, she suspected that they were said to her on purpose.
"I'm not sure either. How about this? I'll bring the dog here and you can help me take a look." Xia Mi was originally worried that the black panther would come in and scare people.
Now, there is something dirty in here, and it really needs to be scared.
Carpenter Wei said yes.
"Black Panther, come in."
When Black Panther heard Xia Mi's order, he stood up and walked slowly into the house.
When the people in the yard saw the black panther, their eyes widened and they were shocked by the black-backed Kunming dog in front of them.
Black Panther often eats rice mixed with meat soup, and Xia Mi occasionally gives him bones. As a result, he has always had enough nutrition, and he has developed well and has a strong body.
The woman took two steps back when she saw the black panther. "How come this dog is so big?!"
Carpenter Wei is over 50 years old after all. "This must be a military dog. It looks very majestic."
“It’s not a military dog, but most military dogs are of this breed.”
Carpenter Wei's eyes lit up as he looked at the dog. He quickly determined the size and said, "I roughly know the size. You can come and get it when the time comes. But it may be a little big, so you have to call your husband over."
With Black Panther's physique, he naturally needs a big house.
Xia Mi nodded, "Okay, I'll come get it in a week."
According to the previous rules, Xia Mi paid a 30% deposit before she handed the money to Carpenter Wei.
A hand suddenly appeared and snatched the money.
The woman held the money tightly in her hand and said, "This money is not enough for you to compensate my son for his ruler and tuition. You are still short of six dollars."
Xia Mi's hand was scratched by the woman, and red marks appeared on the back of her hand, which was burning with pain.
"Are you a police officer? What you say is true. You said that Carpenter Wei's son stole your son's tuition and ruler. Then show us the evidence."
