Song Shuyu felt like the sky had fallen. Ye Youmeng was clearly destroying the bridge after crossing it. "Mengmeng, we are not good sisters anymore? Have I not been good to you? Are you going to break up with me?"
Ye Youmeng always kept her parents' words in mind, "I'm getting married soon, and we'll have to separate sooner or later. I have my own life, don't worry, we can still be friends even if we separate."
Seeing that the mama's girl was determined to drive her away, Song Shuyu had no choice but to grit her teeth and agree.
She used the excuse of going back to pack her things, secretly hid Ye Youmeng's passbook seal in the sole of her shoe, and put her watch in her underwear, "Here, check it out. Sisters have to settle accounts."
Ye Youmeng opened the passbook locally after she came to Shuiqing Brigade. She was worried that she had too much money and would be targeted by others, so she opened a local passbook. She deposited about a thousand yuan in the passbook, and Ye Youmeng only kept ten yuan on hand to withdraw after she had used it up.
Apart from a few of Song Shuyu's old clothes and quilt covers, there were only about twenty yuan in scattered amounts.
Ye Youmeng saw that there was no problem, so she let Song Shuyu leave.
Song Shuyu didn't take her luggage with her. Instead, she went to the captain's house, gave some money to Aunt Guihua, and rented an empty room next to Gu Wanwan.
Now that I have money in my pocket, I don't have to worry about spending it. I will withdraw the money tomorrow and go to the black market to sell the watch.
The next day, Song Shuyu went to the commune early and announced to the public that he was going to the commune post office to mail a letter.
Ye Youmeng asked the team leader for a few days' leave, planning to take her parents and Ke Qi to the commune. When she searched her wallet, she found that her passbook and watch were missing.
"Who stole my passbook? I saw it yesterday morning, but today my money is gone. One thousand yuan..."
She searched the entire room but couldn't find the passbook and watch. She usually hid them under the bed, and even Song Shuyu didn't know where they were. What was certain at the moment was that the passbook was probably lost at the new educated youth site yesterday.
Her family is not short of money, but one thousand yuan is not a small amount, and it is still painful to lose it.
Although Song Shuyu was the most suspicious, Ye Youmeng and Ye's parents did not suspect her because they had personally checked Song Shuyu's luggage and found no passbook in it. Moreover, before Song Shuyu went to bed last night, she specifically told Ye Youmeng that she was going to the commune to mail a letter this morning, so she should not be the suspect.
Ye's parents now have a new suspect: Gu Peichuan and Gu Wanwan's family. Apart from Song Shuyu, the only person who can enter their daughter's room is Gu Peichuan. It is said that Gu Peichuan often gives things to their daughter.
He is from a poor family, how could he have so much money to buy food and gifts?
Furthermore, Gu Wanwan and the twins spent only one or two hundred yuan yesterday. At that time, they were wondering where the siblings got the money. It turned out that they stole it from their daughter.
"It must be Gu Peichuan and Gu Xiaomei. Let's go and settle the score with them." In an instant, Lin Shiwei had lost her teacher's manners and composure. She just wanted to find a chance to vent her anger and kill the arrogance of Gu Wanwan and her sister so that her daughter could see Gu Peichuan's true face. "Mengmeng, look at how bad your vision is. You've chosen a thief's house. Now you steal your money, and tomorrow you'll steal the Ye family's property."
"No, Pei Chuan is not that kind of person. It's Gu Xiaomei who has bad character. But Gu Xiaomei has only been here for two days. She has never entered my room, and Pei Chuan has never come here either. Every time he delivers something, he only delivers it to the door." Despite saying this, Ye Youmeng was somewhat disappointed with Gu Peichuan. Her parents would not wrongly accuse the Gu brothers and sisters for no reason. Could it be that his girlfriend was really a suspect?
Once the seeds of suspicion were planted, they would soon take root and sprout, especially when Ke Qi fanned the flames. "Mengmeng, they are indeed suspicious. Uncle Ye told me that the Gu brothers and sisters carried several hundred yuan with them. It is impossible for poor people to have so much money. They are either speculating or stealing money."
Ye Youmeng was in a state of confusion and pushed open Gu Wanwan's door without her consent. Gu Peichuan and Sheng Chuxuan were also in the room, and they were plotting something.
"Gu Xiaomei, return my passbook and watch. I can tolerate you targeting me, but I can't tolerate you stealing things. If you want, you can tell me why you stole my money. Have you ever thought about whether I would die if I have no money?"
"That watch is a gift from my parents for my birthday. Look at what you are wearing on your hand. What do you have to say?"
Gu Wanwan touched her watch and said, "Omega, Constellation series. Is this the watch you want?"
Ye Youmeng choked. Her ordinary watch cost three or four hundred yuan. The point was not this. How could Gu Xiaomei afford such an expensive brand-name watch? "Not this watch."
Gu Wanwan took out another Rolex from her bag and said, "You don't think my Rolex is yours, do you? I have my name engraved on it."
Ye Youmeng was completely confused. "Where did you get your watch? Did you buy it with my money? Give me back the money!"
Gu Wanwan raised her eyebrows, "How much money did you lose?"
Gu Peichuan then asked, "What evidence do you have to prove that my sister and I took it? Can you convict someone based on your one-sided statement?"
Ye Youmeng was shocked and angry. "You question me? I was the one who lost the money. She is lazy and never works to earn money. How can she afford to buy expensive watches? I lost a thousand dollars. I don't want to make a big fuss, so I won't report it to the police. If I report it, Gu Xiaomei will definitely go to jail. I consider her innocence and our relationship, so I don't want to make things too serious."
"But what about you? You are indiscriminate. You are my girlfriend, and it's fine if you don't believe me, but you are also protecting Gu Xiaomei. Do you think that besides my girlfriend, you can make the decision for me? Gu Peichuan, I really misjudged you."
"If you don't give me an explanation today, don't blame me for reporting to the police."
Gu Peichuan was well-known for being a crazy sister-protector. He didn't care about the threats from his girlfriend. "Then go and report it. When the police come, they have to have real evidence. You can't just arrest people just because you say so!"
Gu Wanwan calmly said to her, "You said you lost a thousand yuan. Can you buy an Omega Constellation or a new Rolex with your thousand yuan? Are you sure that Shengli Commune sells such high-end luxury goods?"
Ye Youmeng was so angry that she was not willing to listen to the arguments of the brother and sister.
Seeing this, Ye's parents were afraid that the world would not be in chaos so they spread the word that Gu Peichuan and Gu Wanwan were thieves.
Aunt Osmanthus and the chatterbox immediately rushed to the battlefield, while the other villagers dropped their work and gathered together to eat melons.
"One thousand yuan, how many years does it take my family to earn that much? Little Sister Gu is really suspicious. She just cheated Aunt Guihua out of one hundred yuan last time. She has a motive to commit the crime!"
"Gu Xiaomei earned her money in an honest way. She gave all the wild boar meat to us. She is such a generous person, she doesn't look like a thief."
“…”
Aunt Guihua took the lead in standing up under the banner of justice, "As the captain's wife, let me say something fair, little sister Gu, do you dare to ask someone to check your room and your bag?"
"Why not?" Gu Wanwan took out the things in her bag in front of him.
Ye Youmeng pointed at the passbook and said loudly, "You still say you don't have it? That's my passbook. What do you have to say?"
