Chapter 26 Evidence is here

If there weren't so many people around, Xia Qingxi would have immediately applauded the man in front of her. This man is really awesome.

"What salary?" Lu Lidong looked puzzled.

"Oh, Lidong, your brother really doesn't appreciate my kindness to this family at all. He only cares about money..." Seeing that Lu was shocked and wanted to pay back the money himself, Wang Mingfang started to morally blackmail him again.

For a while, there were voices of talking, crying, and discussion... continuously.

Just when the yard was in a mess, a steady male voice came over:

"What's the fuss?"

As the voice stopped, Lu Baichuan walked into the yard. He was an elegant intellectual. He didn't look dignified, but as the head of the family, his words carried weight.

The person in charge finally came back, and Xia Qingxing breathed a sigh of relief. Wang Mingfang had no choice but to give her the salary she had earned before.

Looking at the people in the courtyard and the crying Wang Mingfang, Lu Baichuan frowned and asked,

"What's going on?"

Xia Qingxing took the initiative to step forward and told her the whole story. After understanding the cause and effect of the matter, Lu Baichuan looked at Wang Mingfang and said,

"Qingxing, let me see your account book."

Wang Mingfang held the account book in her hand and handed it over reluctantly after a long time.

Lu Baichuan looked down at the account book until he turned to the last page. After reading it carefully, he asked,

"Qingling has deposited a total of 478 yuan with you over the past two years. Now that she wants to keep it for herself, you should take out the money and return it to her."

Wang Mingfang got anxious when she heard this. Asking her to spit out so much money at once was more painful than killing her. She quickly explained,

"No, Old Lu, you don't know. I put the children's money together for household expenses. Look, the sewing machine, radio, and bicycle in the house were all bought with my money..."

"Auntie, did you remember it wrongly? The radio in our house was my eldest sister-in-law's dowry, and the sewing machine was a reward from the factory when I was named an excellent female worker last year." Xia Qingqing directly exposed her lie and said with reason.

"What about the bicycle? I paid for it, several hundred yuan." Wang Mingfang seized the last opportunity and retorted.

Xia Qingxi looked at her and pretended to be puzzled and asked:

"But I have never ridden a bicycle! Do you want me to pay for it too?"

"The bicycle is parked there, and I didn't say you can't ride it. How about this, I'll let you ride it in the future." Wang Mingfang turned to look at He Shanshan:

"Shanshan, give the key to Qingxi."

Xia Qingxi raised a mocking smile at the corner of her lips. This person is too shameless. He said a broken and old second-hand car was worth a few hundred yuan, and now he wants to use this broken car to shut himself up. It's a nice idea.

At this time, He Shanshan had already walked over and reluctantly took out the car key and handed it to Xia Qingxi.

Xia Qingxiang didn't answer. She smiled at Wang Mingfang and said,

"Auntie, I think it's not necessary."

"Look, it's not that Auntie doesn't let you ride it, it's you who doesn't want to ride it." Wang Mingfang immediately seized the opportunity to say.

Xia Qingxiang raised her hand and pointed to the corner of the yard, turned her head and looked at Wang Mingfang and said,

"Jingqi bought me a new one, so I won't ride your bike anymore."

Wang Mingfang and He Shanshan followed Xia Qingxiang's finger and found a brand new bicycle parked in the corner of the yard. The colorful "Phoenix" logo was particularly dazzling in the sunset.

Wang Mingfang was surprised, while He Shanshan was full of envy and jealousy.

Lu Baichuan was surprised that he actually bought her a bicycle, a Phoenix brand one!

"Stop talking, go get the money and return it to Qingxi." Lu Baichuan spoke again.

Now Wang Mingfang had no reason to occupy the original body's money and refused to return it. She walked into the house very reluctantly.

After a long time, she finally came out reluctantly, holding a stack of banknotes in her hand, and handed it to Xia Qingxi, and changed into her usual Japanese face mask:

"Qingxi, these are all the money that auntie has. Take it first, and auntie will give you the rest later."

Xia Qingxi glanced at the money in her hand. The ten-yuan bills were stacked together, which looked like a thin stack, and it was estimated that there were only more than a hundred yuan.

You think you can get rid of me with just this little?

This old bitch won't be so quick to return the money. She said "later", but there will probably be no later. If I don't let her return all the money today, I'm afraid there will be no chance in the future.

Xia Qingying hid the smile on her lips and said in a puzzled manner:

"Isn't the key around your neck? How come there is no money?" Then she seemed to think of something and became nervous:

"Ah, maybe your cash box was stolen too? I'll go get it out for you, open it and have a look." As she said this, she was about to go into the house.

Wang Mingfang was a very thoughtful person. She never had the habit of keeping money in the bank. She only kept it by her side. This way, she could see and touch it, and she felt at ease.

Every time the original body gave her money, she would keep it in a small wooden box in her room's closet, because she thought the original body would not dare to have any thoughts, and occasionally when he put money in it, he did not avoid her, so she knew very well where her money was.

When Wang Mingfang heard that Xia Qingliu was going to take her own safe, she panicked and immediately said:

"Oh, look at my memory, how could I forget this." She didn't want others to know how much savings she had, so she hurried forward and grabbed Xia Qingliu:

"Auntie will help you get it now." After that, she walked quickly into the house.

After a long while, Wang Mingfang finally came out of the house, controlled her facial expression, and handed the money to Xia Qingxiong with a smile:

"Qingxiong, auntie never thought of asking for your money. It was all out of kindness. I was afraid that you were young and ignorant and would spend it recklessly, so I saved it for you. Look, 478 yuan, not a penny less, all here." As expected,

Wang Mingfang was the one who changed her attitude according to the situation. Seeing that there was no room for maneuver, she put on a generous and magnanimous look again.

Xia Qingxiong raised her hand to take the stack of money from Wang Mingfang's hand. The other party stared at her with a motherly smile on her face, but her fingers were secretly fighting, unwilling to let go, which showed how reluctant she was to give the money.

Xia Qingxi said "Thank you, Auntie" with a smile on her face while pulling the money over.

Holding a heavy stack of money in her hand, Xia Qingxi felt extremely happy.

"Qingxi, your salary has been settled and handed over to you now. You must keep it well. Don't let someone take it away like Shanshan, or I will have nothing left." Wang Mingfang said in a sinister tone.

After all, she not only lost her life but also her money today. If she didn't vent her dissatisfaction, how could she swallow the anger in her heart?

"As long as my aunt doesn't worry about it, it won't be lost." Xia Qingxi didn't get used to her and directly retorted.

Hearing her mother mention that she had lost money, He Shanshan looked at the money in Xia Qingxiang's hand, and suddenly walked up to Xia Qingxiang and said,

"You have so much money now, you should return the ten yuan you stole from me."

She still refused to give up. After all, it was only ten yuan, not a small amount, and she had saved it for more than a month.

Xia Qingying's face turned cold. She didn't expect that He Shanshan still wanted to continue to frame her. She only heard her cold voice say:

"I have just proved that the money for buying things was given by Jing Jing. You framed me and insulted me in front of so many people. Shouldn't you apologize to me?"

"My money was stolen, why should I apologize to you and admit my mistake?" He Shanshan looked disdainful and continued:

"You can ask me to apologize to you, unless you produce evidence. If you can prove that the money was not stolen by you, let alone an apology, I will even kneel down to apologize."

She was sure that Xia Qingying could not produce evidence. If she had evidence, she would have produced it long ago. Would she have endured it until now?

"I don't want you to kneel." Xia Qingqing said softly, with a pair of bright eyes flashing brightly, and then he continued:

"Just give me back the 28 feet of cloth coupons you took from me in the past two years."

Asking her to kneel would not benefit her in any way, and she would be known as a mean person. It would be better to do something practical.

She now has money in her hands, but she lacks cloth coupons. Because He Shanshan has to buy clothes every month, she bought a lot of cloth coupons on the black market and stored them.

"I'll give it to you." He Shanshan agreed without hesitation, and then said shamelessly:

"But if you can't produce evidence, then it means you stole it, and you have to return the ten yuan to me." Then she added:

"I'll give you one day. After one day, if you don't have evidence, you have to return the money to me."

Just as He Shanshan finished speaking, a woman's voice suddenly came from outside the courtyard gate:

"Excuse me, is Professor Lu at home?"

Xia Qingling looked back, a faint smile appeared on his lips, and he said confidently:

"It doesn't take one day, the evidence is here."
