Chapter 8 Li Yanhong Steals Money



Good morning, Aunt Wang!

Ye Xiaoxiao greeted him with a smile, deliberately raising her voice.

"What are you going to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy?" Ye Xiaoxiao asked, noticing the bamboo basket she was carrying.

"That's right!" Wang Ailing shouted.

"I heard there's meat today, let's hurry and line up."

"Then you'd better hurry, or they'll all be gone!"

Ye Xiaoxiao had intended to get rid of this loudmouth Wang, but unexpectedly, she turned around and sat at the door of her house.

Looking at Li Yanhong, whose face was as red as a steamed bun, she earnestly advised her:

"I heard that you, Yan Hong, are going to the Chen family every day. That's really outrageous."

If word gets out, people will talk. According to old customs, couples can't see each other for a month before the wedding.

Li Yanhong's face turned bright red; she felt ashamed.

Wang Ailing is known as the village's gossip queen; she knows all about this.

That doesn't mean the whole village knows about her affair now. Thinking of this, she glared at Ye Xiaoxiao again.

It must be her. She's been gossiping behind people's backs. When her parents come back, she'll make sure they beat her to death.

"Oh dear, Aunt Wang, you can't say that! Where did you hear that? Yan Hong just went out to do some odd jobs the other day to earn some pocket money. That's not true!"

Ye Xiaoxiao had no idea what Li Yanhong meant by glaring at her, but she hadn't actually spread those words herself.

"That's what Gou Shengzi from the village entrance said. He sees Yan Hong riding her bicycle westward every morning."

Isn't the west the direction of the Chen family? Gou Shengzi even said that he saw Chen Dashun bringing Yan Hong back this afternoon.

The two were still riding bicycles. Hey Yan Hong, you should be careful. You're not married yet, don't be hugging and cuddling like that.

As Wang Ailing spoke, she covered her mouth and laughed at Chen Yanhong.

"I was just joking, don't mind me, okay?"

[That Wang Ailing has such a sharp tongue, if I were your sister-in-law I'd slap her.] The system actually started complaining in Ye Xiaoxiao's mind.

Wang Ailing was laughing, but Ye Xiaoxiao pursed her lips, trying not to laugh out loud, because she saw that Li Yanhong's face was now flushed red.

"That Gou Shengzi is like a gossipy woman, spreading all sorts of nonsense!"

Ye Xiaoxiao glanced at Li Yanhong, who was practically fuming with anger, as if to say, "See, I didn't spread these rumors."

You don't even care about the impact, do you think everyone else is blind?

"That's right. Gou Shengzi knows Chen Dashun. As soon as he started talking, Chen Dashun said that his family had found a good wife, but they weren't married yet. He was always thinking about helping his family. He looked so proud of himself."

As Wang Ailing spoke, she pulled Li Yanhong's hand and patted it:

"Yan Hong, your aunt watched you grow up. You need to be careful. If you're too eager, people won't take you seriously in the future."

Okay, don't be angry. Your aunt is just trying to help you. I need to go buy some meat.

Wang Ailing left. Li Yanhong was furious; she didn't even hang up the washed clothes to dry, and stormed off to the kitchen.

"I...I'll go start the fire and cook."

Li Yanhong's face flushed red and then turned pale. Chen Dashun actually said these things to others. Even if she was stupid, she could understand what he meant. He was saying that she was giving herself away.

You could say she's eager to help others. But she quickly changed her mind:

"Definitely not. Brother Da Shun definitely doesn't think that way. It's all just rumors spread by those people. Brother Da Shun always praises me."

That's right. Li Yanhong convinced herself to go back to her original path again.

If Ye Xiaoxiao heard these words, she would laugh her head off.

Ye Xiaoxiao had just hung the clothes she had washed outside to dry when she heard her voice coming from the kitchen:

"Sister-in-law, could you help me wash the vegetables? I can't manage by myself."

"You've been cooking at home for over ten years, you're too busy. Dad told me to rest. I even hung up the laundry for you, don't try to boss me around!"

Ye Xiaoxiao was sitting on a tree in the yard watching her.

Tongzi also said that the girl was going to steal money later.

She needs to keep a close eye on this matter, and it would be best to have another eyewitness.

"Hmph, sister-in-law, you're so lazy. What wife is as delicate as you when she's pregnant? They can all cook and do chores, can't they?"

"You don't have the life of a city dweller, but you want the life of one. Let's see how long you can be so smug!"

Li Yanhong was just thinking of taking some time to go to the Chen family to question Chen Dashun about whether he had been talking nonsense to anyone.

But feeling guilty for not helping out at the Chen family's house today, she thought she'd go to her mother's room later to get some money.

In the past, I would buy some sugar and other groceries for my future mother-in-law. Thinking of this...

Then he glanced at Ye Xiaoxiao sitting in the yard. If she took the money and her mother asked, he would say that Ye Xiaoxiao stole the money.

Let's see if my brother can't beat her to death.

[Host, your sister-in-law is planning to steal money later and then frame you.]

It's true what you humans say, "A daughter is like a tree that grows up and leaves home," she's stealing money from home to buy food for her future in-laws.

When is she planning to steal the money?

Ye Xiaoxiao suddenly felt the urge to urinate; their family's toilet was located at the very edge outside the main gate.

Going to the toilet will probably take two or three minutes. I'm worried that if she leaves, Li Yanhong might steal money.

[Host, your younger brothers will be bringing back wheat soon, and then you'll be like this...]

Ye Xiaoxiao heard the plan from the system and gave him a thumbs up, promising to catch her red-handed.

Let everyone know about the awful things she's done, so that she can get revenge for the original owner being wronged by her.

She had originally planned to catch her red-handed when she came back from the restroom, but then she thought that if only she saw it, others might not believe her and might even think that she was deliberately framing her sister-in-law.

After all, compared to the Li family, she was an outsider. And her family wasn't even here. No one was there to support her.

After waiting for a while without seeing Li Chenyang and the others return, she started to have a stomachache and needed to go to the toilet.

Only then did she realize that there wasn't even any toilet paper, so she immediately ran to her brothers' room.

I found the backpack, which I didn't even know belonged to, and tore a few sheets of paper from the notebook inside. Then I ran to the bathroom.

It might be a side effect of that beauty-enhancing fruit, a detoxification process. But the rural toilet really caused her to vomit and have diarrhea.

[Host, Li Yanhong has begun her operation!]

Upon hearing the system's notification, Ye Xiaoxiao immediately wiped the paper with the notebooks, muttering to herself as she did so:

"Tongzi, next time bring me some toilet paper, or I can't survive."

She had just come out of the restroom when she saw Li Chenyang and the others returning with a cart full of wheat.

Seeing them return, Ye Xiaoxiao immediately ran over and pulled Li Chenyang into the house.

"What's wrong?"

Li Chenyang obediently followed his wife. However, Ye Xiaoxiao did not answer him.

Only when they reached the door of her in-laws' house did they point to Li Yanhong's figure inside.

Li Yanhong just took out a stack of bills from a small drawer in the cabinet.

I was hesitating between taking five yuan or ten yuan, but in the end I just took ten yuan and put it in my bag.

What are you doing?
