Chapter 88: Killing a chicken to scare the monkey
Is there a thief in your house?
But the money and everything was there! You only stole two bars of soap?
Yu Miaomiao asked: "Did you lock the house before you went out yesterday?"
"No. I was in a hurry to leave and forgot about it! When I came back last night, the house was not turned over. It must be a thief." Su Tang's sweet face was slowly shrouded in dark clouds.
Do you think she's easy to bully?
If he steals two bars of soap today, he will steal money and other things tomorrow!
Absolutely intolerable!
"Let's go and tell the captain!" Su Tang said angrily.
Yu Miaomiao picked up the big wooden sword: "Let's go!"
Li Lan heard about the soap and asked hurriedly, "Second sister-in-law, third sister-in-law, what happened?"
"Two bars of soap were missing from my room. I'll go talk to the captain first. If I can't find out clearly, I'll report to the police station." Su Tang said.
Li Lan was very upset: "It's just two bars of soap, you guys are making such a fuss."
"Sister-in-law, two bars of soap are also 55 cents. That's not a small amount." Yu Miaomiao stared at Li Lan.
Did she steal it?
After she and Su Tang left yesterday, only the old man and woman and Li Lan and her husband were left at home.
And Li Lan has been going to her parents' house to ask for a favor for soap for a long time!
"Don't tell anyone, I know who did it." Li Lan smiled mysteriously, stepped forward with her pregnant belly, and whispered, "My mother took it and gave it to my uncle and aunt."
"Did sister-in-law see it?"
"No. We were supposed to go out together, but mom suddenly wanted to sweep the yard, so she asked us to go first. Sweeping the yard right after changing into new clothes is not mom's style."
Li Lan was feeling strange yesterday. Why would Grandma Mu be willing to sweep the yard in her new clothes?
It turned out that they were sent away so that they could steal things!
"My parents haven't received the soap I made yet, but someone else is enjoying it first." Su Tang sneered, "There must be an explanation!"
"Third sister-in-law, forget it! Don't make things too ugly between the two pieces of soap. Our mother has always valued her reputation among her brothers, and it would not be good if the quarrel gets out of hand." Li Lan advised.
Su Tang firmly disagreed: "I pretended not to know that two bars of soap were stolen today. Will I continue to steal next time?"
"Lock the door tightly..." Li Lan said.
"It's hard to guard against thieves in the house! Do I have to lock the door when I go to the toilet?" Su Tang put her hands on her waist, and the more she thought about it, the angrier she became. "It's a blatant theft! Do you think I'm a fool? How much is counted every day? My second sister-in-law and I keep accounts! If it weren't for you, my eldest sister-in-law, speaking up for me, what if my second sister-in-law thought I hid the soap? Should we still continue our partnership business?
Li Lan was speechless.
I have to say that this move of my mother was really clever. Not only did she gain an advantage, but she also caused discord between my second and third brother's wives.
But, mother would never have thought that Su Tang would insist on reporting to the police just for two bars of soap!
"Well, either mom gives an explanation, or the team leader can speak." Yu Miaomiao compromised.
It's mainly to make an example of someone, not really to make the family's dirty laundry known to the public.
"Okay! I'll go to the field and call my mother back to tell her!"
Su Tang brought Ah Huang with her to help, and went to the field to find Grandma Mu in high spirits.
Li Lan was terrified: "Third sister-in-law, please don't give me away!"
Su Tang didn't even turn her head and just made an OK gesture.
"Second sister-in-law, third sister-in-law, won't you tell anyone about me?" Li Lan was extremely worried.
Yu Miaomiao nodded: "No."
…
Old Mrs. Mu was bragging to the villagers in the field about how cute her nephew's grandson was. Suddenly, she saw Su Tang coming over with a gloomy face. Her heart skipped a beat.
An ominous premonition came to my mind!
Found that the soap is missing?
"Mrs. Mu, your third daughter-in-law is here." Aunt Sun stood up and waved to Su Tang, "Xiao Su, your mother-in-law is here."
Old Mrs. Mu wanted so much that she wanted to kick Aunt Sun into the ditch!
Before Su Tang could speak, Old Lady Mu said, "Su Tang, go home and cook first. I'm busy in the fields!"
"Mom, I've already asked for leave for you. Come home with me now." Su Tang stood at the edge of the field, her clear voice resounding.
The wind blew up her black hair, and her delicate face was tense. It was beautiful, but it felt prickly!
"You kid, why would you ask for leave when I'm fine?" Although Old Mrs. Mu smiled, she felt more and more uneasy.
"Of course I have something to tell my mother."
"If you have anything to say, wait until I get off work. Go back quickly! Don't delay me from earning work points."
Obviously, she didn't dare to talk about it.
Su Tang sneered: "Okay, I'll stand here and talk to mom. There are two bars of soap missing from my room!"
Like thunder coming out of nowhere, Aunt Sun and others who were working nearby stopped what they were doing and looked at Su Tang in shock.
"Xiao Su, was there a thief at home? Was no one hurt?"
"Your sister-in-law is pregnant. Are you not scared?"
"Oh, it's not the New Year yet, how could there be thieves? Our village has always been peaceful..."
“…”
Everyone was talking about it, feeling scared and angry.
Su Tang didn't answer, just looked at Old Lady Mu coldly.
Old Mrs. Mu: It’s over, it’s aimed at her!
What a stupid girl! It's just two bars of soap, but she's making a scene in the field!
If the whole village knew about this, they would think that her mother-in-law was a thief in the family!
Old Mrs. Mu didn't dare to delay any longer and finished her work quickly: "It's not a big deal! Go home and tell me!"
"Old Mu, tell me what's going on later! If there really is a thief in the village, the whole village must be on guard."
"It's just, it's scary."
“…”
Old Mrs. Mu didn’t even dare to turn her head!
After Shang Tiangeng, he glared at Su Tang fiercely: "Shame on you! Go home!"
"Mom, do you think I'm embarrassing? Let everyone judge and see if I'm the one bringing shame to the Mu family!" Su Tang held her breath and decided not to leave!
Old Lady Mu pulled her and said, "Let's talk about it when we get home!"
Su Tang dodged nimbly and avoided her muddy hands.
"Mom said I was embarrassing, but I don't agree. I lost something, how can I be embarrassed?"
"I can't argue with you. Just assume that I said something wrong, okay?"
Old Mrs. Mu couldn't persuade Su Tang, so she had to give in first.
Su Tang glanced at her coldly.
The sun was shining brightly, but Old Lady Mu felt as if a chill was rising from the soles of her feet.
"Let's give face to Third Brother today!" Su Tang left a message and turned to go home.
Old Mrs. Mu followed behind, thinking hard about a solution.
That's right! She took the soap.
But who saw it?
Without any witnesses or physical evidence, it is slander!
She must find some excuse to cover up this matter perfectly!
When the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law returned home, Yu Miaomiao was playing with a big sword in the yard. Wherever the sword passed, it was fierce and powerful.
Old Lady Mu, who had just entered the yard, was so frightened that she jumped on the spot and barely avoided the blade: "Ouch, murder!"
"Oh, mom is back. I have nothing to do at home, so I'll practice some kung fu."
Yu Miaomiao calmly put away the knife, her words were light but with an indescribable taste.
The calm feeling of madness is even more terrifying!
Old Mrs. Mu looked at her and suspected that she had been married to the Second Brother for too long and that he had infected her with madness.
Looking at Su Tang again, her fake smile is also scary.
Old Lady Mu was deeply frightened and regretted coming back alone.
We should call the old man along!
