Chapter 506: Anyone can betray in the face of interests
"In order to bribe me, my stepmother treated me very well." As soon as Jia Lianhua arrived at the Xu family, she immediately found Lin Mo and told her about her stepmother.
At this moment, she was looking disdainful:
"I asked for three buns, and they gave me money without hesitation to buy them. They also asked me to go home in the evening and said they would stew meat for me.
I don't believe her. Even if it's real stew, I won't get to eat it."
In order to win me over, Liu really spared no effort.
Jia Lianhua's face was full of sarcasm.
Lin Mo chuckled, "It's okay, she will definitely listen to you until she achieves her goal.
You can give her a hard time now, just to vent your anger."
Jia Lianhua smiled maliciously, "That's exactly what I meant."
She wanted to make her stepmother regret her decision after losing more than she gained.
The two talked for a while, and then Jia Lianhua went downstairs to take care of her own business.
When only Lin Mo and Xu Xianyu's sister-in-law were left in the hall, Xu Xianyu, who had been silent all the time, finally spoke.
"Sister-in-law, do you think what Jia Lianhua said is credible?"
Lin Mo picked up the tea on the table beside her and took a sip. "It depends on whether she is smart or stupid."
Anyone can betray when faced with enough benefits.
Therefore, Lin Mo just listened to her words of thanks and did not take them to heart.
How many young girls who have never experienced anything big can resist temptation?
Xu Xianyu looked outside the hall thoughtfully. Will Jia Lianhua betray them?
Lin Mo put down the teacup and called Xu Qing in.
After whispering something in his ear, he let Xu Qing make the arrangements.
Xu Xianyu, who was standing by, was curious, "Sister-in-law, what did you ask Xu Qing to do?"
"It's nothing. I just asked him to check on a few mice and notify people to catch them." Lin Mo said calmly.
Xu Xianyu didn't understand, so he didn't take it to heart. Instead, a smile appeared on his face:
"Sister-in-law, wait for me here. The bird's nest is ready. I'll bring it to you."
After saying that, without waiting for Lin Mo to speak, he hurried towards the kitchen.
Both Nanny Qin and Nanny Yun said that when you are pregnant, you should eat more bird's nest, which is good for your health and also for the baby.
Her sister-in-law is so thin, she really needs some nourishment.
Lin Mo wanted to stop her, but it was too late and she could only let her go.
She felt like they were treating her like a pig, feeding her either this or that.
As long as she is at home, she never stops talking.
Not long after she had breakfast, the bird's nest was served.
Looking at her waistline, Lin Mo felt melancholy. She estimated that she would become very fat by then.
Lin Mo shuddered at the thought of gaining weight.
Forget it, I'd better go out for a walk.
…
pain!
Li Xianlie reached out to touch his head in pain, and when he opened his eyes, he realized something was wrong.
Why is he sleeping on the ground?
He didn't even know he fell under the bed. What's going on?
Also, it’s already so bright, how long have I slept?
He rubbed his aching and swollen head and slowly got up from the ground.
When Li Xianlie saw the tilted pillow on the bed, he was shocked and quickly reached out to take the pillow away.
When he saw that there was nothing under the pillow, his heart sank.
Where are the banknotes?
Where are the banknotes you put under your pillow?
That’s fifteen thousand taels.
Li Xianlie rummaged through the tent with a gloomy look and shouted, "Butler Li."
But no matter how he shouted, no one responded.
He searched the tent but couldn't find any trace of the banknotes, and no one outside responded to him.
Li Xianlie then walked out angrily, then turned and walked into the tent next to him.
Li Xianlie's heart sank when he saw Butler Li and others sleeping soundly on their simple beds.
They were still sleeping so soundly at this time. There was no doubt that someone had drugged them.
The reason why he slept so soundly on the ground was probably because he had been drugged.
Li Xianlie couldn't help it and stretched out his hand to hit them directly in the face:
"Get up, you bastards.
You idiots, you're still sleeping.
I'm afraid that someone will steal all my valuables, or even kill me. I see that you losers don't know anything about this. Get up now."
…
Butler Li and others felt pain and woke up from their sleep.
When they saw the angry Li Xianlie, they all stood up and landed directly without even bothering to put on their clothes:
"Master, I'm sorry I overslept. I'll prepare breakfast for you right away."
"Master, I'll go out and check the situation right away."
…
"Stop, why are you still having breakfast? It's late." Li Xianlie's face was gloomy, and his eyes swept over them coldly:
"Did you notice anything wrong last night?"
Butler Li was stunned, but still shook his head, "Master, did anything happen last night?"
He remembered that after helping his master to sleep last night, he went back to the tent to sleep.
Then I slept until now, waking up occasionally in the middle.
Butler Li subconsciously looked up outside the tent. The sky...
His face darkened. It was already noon.
What's going on?
How could they all sleep until noon?
Li Xianlie quickly gave him the answer.
"We were drugged last night and all of us passed out, and all the banknotes I put under my pillow were taken away." Li Xianlie's face was horrific.
"What!" Butler Li was surprised.
"Who is so bold as to steal from you, Master?"
"You ask me, who should I ask?" Li Xianlie stared at them sinisterly.
“You guys, aren’t you supposed to protect me?
Now tell me, I was knocked unconscious and my money was stolen, what should I do?"
Butler Li frowned, "Master, how about reporting it to the police?
The incident happened in Zhaojia Village. If someone had attacked us last night, someone would have seen it."
Li Xianlie roared, "Since you know to report it to the police, why don't you go and do it quickly?"
After roaring, he began to breathe heavily.
Damn, it’s more than ten thousand. How long will it take him to earn that much money?
The more Li Xianlie thought about it, the more distressed he felt.
Butler Li on the side did not dare to delay and rushed out immediately.
The others immediately rushed out.
"Master, I'm going to the village to inquire about the situation now."
"I'll go ask the others if anyone saw anyone coming over to our area last night!"
…
Looking at the people who ran away, Li Xianlie returned to his tent with a grim expression.
After he dressed again, he looked around the tent again, trying to find any clues.
But no matter how hard he looked, he could not find any clues.
Li Xianlie could only walk out angrily.
He looked at Zhaojiacun with cold eyes. Who was it, who on earth was so bold as to drug them and steal his money?
Is he from Zhaojia Village or Xu's family?
It shouldn't be someone from the Xu family. People from the Xu family are not that despicable, and they sneaked in from outside the village, so it would be easy for people to see them.
Li Xianlie first excluded the Xu family.
Then they can only be from Zhaojia Village?
Thinking of the greedy eyes of those people in Zhaojia Village yesterday, Li Xianlie's face turned ugly.
Could it be that these people in Zhaojia Village are greedy for money?
I don’t know how long it took, until the sun began to set, and the guards who had been said to be going out to inquire about the news came back one after another.
"Master, there is news." Zhang Youcai took a breath:
"I heard that several people from Zhaojia Village came here last night."
"Who." Li Xianlie's voice was terribly gloomy.
"Village Chief Zhao, Zhao Dashan, and Anzi." Zhang Youcai lowered his head and directly told the information he had heard.
They came here, but he didn't know if they were the ones who did it.
He only knew that if he didn't push the person out, they would be the ones who would be in trouble.
Li Xianlie narrowed his eyes dangerously. He was afraid that something bad was going to happen if he came here in the middle of the night without sleeping.
"Let's go and ask them for an explanation."
Li Xianlie strode forward, and a murderous intent flashed in his eyes. "Village Chief Zhao, you should give me an explanation, otherwise don't blame me for being rude."
"Master," Zhang Youcai hurriedly stopped him:
"If you want to see Village Chief Zhao, don't go, he's not in the village right now.
I asked someone and he went out early in the morning and hasn't come back yet.
In addition, Zhao Dashan and others also left the village at noon and are no longer in the village."
Li Xianlie narrowed his eyes dangerously, "What a coincidence, you all left the village together?
Have you checked why they left the village and when they will return?
"Master, we can't find out. Their families don't know where they went. They didn't tell their families." Zhang Youcai shook his head.
“But I asked someone, and they were heading towards Mocheng.
And when they left, each of them was carrying a package."
Absconding with the money?
There were more than ten thousand taels, which was divided among several people. Each person got almost two thousand taels, which was enough for them to live a luxurious life.
Li Xianlie's face was gloomy. "Send a message back to Mocheng and have our people keep an eye on their whereabouts. Stop them immediately if you see them."
Zhang Youcai nodded and hurried outside.
Li Xianlie stared at the direction of Zhaojia Village with sinister eyes. "Village Chief Zhao, you are so bold! You actually dare to touch my things. You are looking for death!"
…
Ha Qiu!
Village Chief Zhao yawned several times in succession, then reached out to rub his nose.
Who is scolding himself?
"Village chief, does that girl miss you?" Zhao Dashan teased, "Look at you, you're yawning so hard."
Village Chief Zhao gave him a cold look and said, "Stop talking about this useless stuff and get on with your journey."
After saying that, he strode forward.
Zhao Dashan touched his nose in boredom and followed.
It's getting harder and harder to joke around. It's so boring!
