Chapter 138: Speculative Arguments
So, Mother Fu put on a stern face and spoke in a cold voice to those who wanted to follow her into the house to check the situation.
"I'm going to check where I hid my money to see if it's been stolen. Why are all of you following me?"
"If you guys knew where I kept my money in my house, I would feel so insecure."
"You guys really have no sense of boundaries. Wait inside. I'll go inside the house and check the situation first."
Jiang Xin just watched Fu's mother perform quietly.
She thought to herself, she wanted to see how long Mother Fu could keep pretending.
It was really hard for her. She had to put on such a show in front of the villagers and the police.
Little did she know that she was so guilty now. Didn’t you see that she was trembling the way she walked? I don’t know how scared she was, but she had to pretend to be calm on the surface.
If you don’t know, you might think that the clothes in her closet were not stolen by her.
After Jiang Xin saw Mother Fu enter her and Father Fu's room, she turned around and continued to talk to the police:
"Comrade police, I think the thief came in through the window."
"This morning, when I went out, I locked the door of my room with a padlock. When I came back, I found that the door lock was not broken. So the thief most likely jumped in through the window."
"Of course, this is just my guess. Let's wait and see if my mother-in-law has lost any money. If not, then I must be the only one who lost something."
After hearing what Jiang Xin said, the police comrade immediately ran over to check the location of the window.
As expected, I saw several shoe prints covered in mud on the windowsill.
The imprint of the shoe sole is clearly visible on it.
Especially since it rained a little last night.
So it is difficult to keep the soles of the shoes away from dirt.
So it was soon confirmed that the thief jumped in through the window.
Now, everyone in this room is waiting for Mother Fu to come out.
Let's see how much property their family has lost in total, so that we can make a unified summary.
Fu's mother was inside the house, pretending to search, but in fact, she was the only one who knew that there was no thief in their house at all.
The thief was herself.
She came into this house now to check the financial losses, but it was just a cover.
She pretended to search the house.
Fu's mother came out of the room and, under the gaze of everyone, spoke to the police officer who was handling the case with a righteous look on her face.
"Comrade police, I have searched my room, and nothing is missing."
"Who would have thought that in this day and age, a thief could break into this house?"
"Fortunately, the place where I hid the things was relatively hidden, so the thief didn't find it at all."
After hearing what Mother Fu said, everyone instantly breathed a sigh of relief. After all, in this family, Mother Fu was probably the one who really managed the money.
Moreover, in this house, all the money must be placed in one place. If a thief finds it, he will definitely take away all the money.
At that time, the loss would have been huge, fortunately the place where she hid things was relatively hidden.
Everyone unconsciously felt relieved for Mother Fu.
After all, although her son can make money, the family background is the wealth accumulated over many years.
If this money is lost, it will be impossible to save so much in a short time.
What's more, even their house is made of adobe bricks that were built several years ago and looks like it's about to fall down.
If the money was lost, Fu's mother's wish to build a big tiled house would be dashed.
When everyone thought about this, they instantly felt that the poverty gap had widened again, and they couldn't help but feel a little jealous.
After all, they all knew that the Fu family was really rich.
For a moment, I felt a mixture of emotions.
People are always a little jealous when they see other families living better than theirs.
Of course I would feel uncomfortable.
When they heard Fu's mother say that the money in the house was not lost, they felt relieved, but at the same time they felt a little hopeful. If it was lost, wouldn't they just be able to watch the fun?
Otherwise, how can we say that people’s hearts are hidden?
On the surface, these villagers looked happy for Fu's mother.
In fact, I don’t know what I’m thinking inside.
Anyway, there are some regrets, but I just can't say them out loud.
Jiang Xin took in all the strange expressions on these people's faces.
After hearing Fu's mother say that nothing was missing from her house.
Jiang Xin showed a look of understanding.
But she still spoke, looking puzzled and confused, and said to Fu's mother:
"Then this thief is really strange."
"Why did you steal things from my house, and I locked it."
"Mom, you weren't at home all afternoon today? Don't you usually go out? Why weren't you at home today?"
"Logically speaking, the room on the east side is the elders' room."
"Generally speaking, in our village, aren't the elderly in the family responsible for managing the money?"
"This thief is really weird. He didn't steal from the old man's room, but chose to steal from a poor young man like me."
“It’s really quite rare.”
After Jiang Xin finished speaking, everyone who heard it also looked at Fu's mother with a puzzled expression.
After all, they all felt that what Jiang Xin said did make sense.
After all, in their family, the person who really manages the money is Mother Fu. Even if the thief wanted to steal, he would never be able to steal into Jiang Xin's house.
Moreover, from what Jiang Xin said, it seemed that she locked the house when she was at home. This is not normal. Who would lock the door when they are at home?
This is obviously because she doesn't want others to enter her room without permission when she is not at home. It is obvious who these others are.
Fu's mother was already feeling guilty, and after hearing what Jiang Xin said,
He just spoke in a stuttering tone.
"What...what are you talking about?"
"I don't understand. Don't bully an old lady like me. Who knows what happened to that thief? He stole your things."
"Or else, I hid the things so well that the thief couldn't find them, so he stole your clothes."
Fu's mother was over there, and even when she felt guilty, she still didn't forget to make excuses.
