Chapter 98: Oscar for Best Actor
Before dawn, Su Chen and Jiang Yu took the thief to the yamen. As long as he admitted to the theft, the yamen would put him in jail and the news would not leak out.
Su Wan, feeling grief-stricken, found a Feng Shui treasure land to bury Wang Chai. When he brought it back, he never thought that it would have such an end. It was also the fault of Village Chief He, the sixth one, for being such a bad person.
In order to achieve his goal, he did everything he could, but he was really stupid. His trick of covering his ears and stealing the bell was too obvious. He thought he would not be recognized if he covered his face.
Early in the morning, Su Yun and Su Yi woke up feeling dizzy and not quite awake.
Especially after hearing that his house had been robbed, Su Yun almost exploded on the spot.
"What about the money we worked so hard to earn? It was stolen."
He worked hard, carrying a load to make shaqima every day without complaining about the hardship or tiredness, and the capital he had saved with great difficulty was gone.
Isn't this forcing him to become evil?
Seeing how excited he was, Su's mother quickly explained it to him and told the two brothers not to leak it out.
Hearing that Yin Zi was fine, Su Yun finally felt relieved. He lay back on the bed, covered himself with the quilt, and looked exhausted.
"That's good, Mom and Dad. Is Su Wan okay? Did she not get drugged? The aftereffects are quite strong. I feel weak all over!"
He was still thinking about Su Wan. This low-quality smoke was quite harmful to the human body, but fortunately he didn't inhale much.
"She's fine, but Wang Chai is in trouble. Someone poisoned her yesterday. No wonder there were thieves at night but no one heard her barking. Fortunately, Master Jiang was alert, otherwise our family would be..."
Su's mother was also frightened. If it was other money, it would be fine, but what if even the money for her eldest son's exam was gone?
Their whole family's hopes are pinned on Ajing, hoping that he will bring honor to the family!
Hearing that Wangcai had died, Su Yun jumped up again:
"What? My dog is gone."
This blow was no less severe than before. He was a person who loved small animals, sob…
"Wanwan has already buried it. Lao Si, promise mom that you won't keep a dog anymore, okay?"
It’s such a sin that they can’t keep a dog at home.
Su Yun nodded dejectedly, lay back down like a dead body, and covered his head.
"Mom, are you all okay?" Su Yi's reaction was not as big as Su Yun's.
Mother Su shook her head:
"Except for you two, we are all fine. Just take a good rest. The mother at home can do it!"
Mother Su looked at her two good sons lovingly and comforted them.
As for Su's father, he went straight to the He family with an anxious look on his face.
At that time, three people in the He family were feeling uneasy. Village chief He squatted under the eaves, but when he couldn't squat any longer, he stood up and paced back and forth.
"Old He, it's bad, something big has happened!"
Father Su's voice came unexpectedly. When the He family heard it, they all ran to the yard. They heard the voice before they saw the person. The He family felt very guilty when they heard his voice.
Especially when Father Su stepped into the yard, they didn't know whether he came to call them to task.
"Old He, this is terrible! My house has been robbed. Over a hundred taels of silver are gone!"
When they heard the news, their hearts were filled with joy.
Great, now is their chance to perform.
"How could this happen? Has the thief been caught?" Village Chief He asked again worriedly.
"No, he got away. Old He, what do you think we should do? Over a hundred taels of silver, it's all gone!"
Father Su pretended to be anxious and stared into his eyes deliberately. Seeing him so hypocritical, his heart suddenly turned cold.
"I'm going to visit your house with you, let's go!"
When he heard that the thief was not caught, Village Chief He cheered inwardly, but pretended to be very anxious on the surface.
Jujube Flower He Jiaolan couldn't hold back and went to watch the fun together.
When they arrived at the Su family, everyone looked like they were in a state of drama. Su's mother looked very sad, and Su Wan was comforting her.
The couple's room was faked to look messy and had been ransacked, as if it had indeed been robbed.
"How could this happen?" Village Chief He still looked ignorant, because he was the Oscar winner for Best Actor.
"I don't know. The thief stole more than one hundred taels. What should we do?" Father Su clapped his hands, meaning that it was all gone.
After saying that, she stopped looking at him and turned her back. He almost couldn't continue acting.
"Have you reported it to the police?" At this time, Dazaohua interrupted.
"My third brother has already reported to the police, but I don't know if they can catch the person!" Su Wan answered first.
"Generally speaking, this silver cannot be recovered. After all, no one has seen his true face, and he is not from our village, so it is even more difficult to find." There was a hint of joy between the lines of Dazaohua's words.
Upon hearing this, Su's mother turned around and couldn't help rolling her eyes.
"How did you know he was from another village?" Su Wan asked a soul-searching question.
Seeing that Dazaohua choked when asked, her daughter He Jiaolan immediately pulled her sleeve, signaling her not to talk nonsense.
"What I mean is that the people in our village are all kind-hearted and there won't be such people."
"That's not necessarily true. There are always some people with bad intentions. They may be nice to you on the surface, but who knows how evil they are behind your back."
Su's mother couldn't help but complain, which made the He family members feel a little uneasy, as they always felt that they were scolding them.
"Sister-in-law, don't think too much. I didn't say anything about you!" Su's mother explained again, and Su Wan almost couldn't help laughing.
As expected, these mothers are the best at being sarcastic.
Dazaohua's face looked a little ugly, but she still forced a smile.
"Old Su, is there anything I can help you with?" Finally, it was Village Chief He who spoke up to break the deadlock.
Father Su waved his hand, saying it was not necessary, then walked into the house dejectedly and closed the door. If he had a cigarette at this moment, he would have smoked it.
He didn't understand, he really didn't understand, why did his old brother of many years do such a thing to stab him in the back? If it wasn't for money, what was he doing it for?
That bastard said that the man didn't take a penny of the stolen money, just to see him continue to be poor?
Village Chief He and his men went back, and not long after, Su Chen and Jiang Yu also came back.
That bastard was from Dayang Village, and his home was dozens of miles away from here. Logically, he had nothing to do with us, so the He family had put a lot of effort into it.
Because he attempted theft but failed, the government only imprisoned him for a month and gave him ten beatings with boards as a warning to others.
Su's father was very depressed the whole day and stayed in his room and didn't want to come out. Some people in the village who were familiar with the Su family came to comfort them when they heard that the Su family had been robbed.
In the afternoon, the He family came again.
The couple came over with He Jiaolan, fifty taels of silver, and their abacus.
