Chapter 115: It’s Hard to Guard Against a Thief Within



In the end, it was only after Mr. Liu gave the order that everyone accepted the money. Of course, they all planned to save the money and would not use it for the time being.

Although there were two rooms at home for Liu Chunping and Liu Chunling, there was still not enough space for so many people, so Liu Yanran took everyone to stay in a guesthouse. Fortunately, the guesthouse was not far from the Liu family. Liu Chunsheng took his wife and children home and sent them to the guesthouse.

Along the way, Joanna looked at Liu Yanran several times, wanting to say something but stopping herself. Liu Yanran, of course, saw it and took the initiative to say, "Aunt Anna, I just happened to be going to buy some toiletries. You are familiar with this place, so would it be convenient for you to take me there?"

Joanna readily agreed. The supply and marketing cooperative had already closed, so the only way to buy it was from the private market, which was once the black market, but now it's less strictly controlled. "Aunt Anna, just say whatever you want to say. We're all family."

Joanna looked around and made sure no one was around before she spoke. "Don't blame me for being nosy. I know you might not be short of money, but you still have to be careful living here. Hide all your money and valuables, and don't let the youngest woman use them to subsidize her family."

Liu Yanran frowned upon hearing this and looked at Joanna. She seemed hesitant about whether to believe this statement. Joanna saw that she was silent, thinking that she didn't believe it, and quickly explained, "Yanran, I don't mean any harm. I've observed this for a long time. That woman always sends things to her parents' home."

Liu Yanran was silent for a moment, then nodded gently, expressing her understanding. Seeing this, Joanna breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "I know you're a smart person and will definitely understand what I mean. While you're here, be sure to protect your property. If you encounter any difficulties, you can always ask me for help."

Although Liu Yanran didn't like Wang Guihong, she wouldn't listen to Joanna's one-sided words. "But you and she are both my aunts, and I can't just believe your words. Do you have anything else to say?"

Joanna seemed lost in memories, her eyes softening. "Let me tell you about Chunsheng and me! Our story is actually very simple, but it's full of warmth and perseverance. Although Chunsheng was a technical backbone of the factory, had a good salary, and was also good-looking, his parents didn't have formal jobs, he had a sickly older sister, and a younger brother who was an educated youth in the countryside. The family burden was too heavy, so many families were reluctant to marry their daughters to him."

Joanna's smile softened as she thought of something. "But I don't care about that. What I see is his hard work and kindness. My dad was his mentor, and they often worked together, so I had the opportunity to get to know him."

Joanna smiled shyly at this point. "Later, my father mentioned me to Chunsheng many times, but he always politely refused. Until one day, I decided to go to him in person. I told him that if he didn't have feelings for me, I would marry someone else immediately. As a result, the idiot couldn't say a word. From that moment on, our hearts were deeply connected."

"Well, but I heard that you and Uncle Chunsheng have been living in the house in the factory in the past few years and basically never go home." Liu Yanran is also a straightforward person and never speaks in a roundabout way, so she told him everything Liu Chuncheng had told her.

Joanna's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile. "That's not actually the case. We didn't stop going home. It's just that during the years they were in the countryside, we lived at home most of the time. And when they came back to visit, we would move in with my parents. However, in the past two years, after they returned to the city, Chunsheng and I happened to meet the factory's housing requirements, so we chose to live inside the factory. After all, if we didn't move out, there really was nothing we could do! When we lived at home, we kept losing money for unknown reasons, even the children's New Year's money would disappear. I told your Uncle Chunsheng about these things, but I didn't tell Chuncheng about them for fear of affecting their relationship."

Hearing this, Liu Yanran nodded in understanding. It seems that it is indeed difficult to guard against thieves in the house! "But no one can prove that she stole the money!"

Joanna tutted. "No one's stupid. Every time she comes back, the money we kept at home is gone. Who wouldn't be suspicious? Actually, it was your grandmother who asked us to move out. She said that since the youngest son finally got married, she wanted them to live a good life."

Joanna then went on to talk about another matter. "I have a colleague who is from the same village as her. She said that her parents built a new house this year. She has been back in the city for two years, and her hometown has already built a tiled house. It is the first family in the surrounding area. Her brothers and sisters are all farmers. If they had the ability, they would have built a house long ago. Her parents are so old and still have to take care of her who sleeps until she wakes up naturally. She thinks she is the daughter of a landlord in the past! We used to buy nutritional supplements for the elderly, but her parents told us not to spend money, saying that the food would not be eaten by them anyway. It was not because of the woman herself. Eat it or send it back to her mother's home, so we didn't buy it later. We could only secretly give her some money when she wasn't paying attention. I said so much because you are my own. You will understand it naturally after spending time with me. Anyway, you should not have the intention to harm others, but you must be on guard against others. No one's money comes from the wind. You should remind your brother, sister-in-law and sister Chunling! "After that, Qiao Anna took Liu Yanran to a farmyard and bought some daily necessities. Liu Yanran thought, it seems that this rat shit must be removed.
