Chapter 142: Gold
The Yang family was eating happily here, but the atmosphere in the Chen family, who was separated by a flight of stairs, was not so good.
Xu Baoju was busy in the kitchen with a sullen face, chattering non-stop: "Whose daughter-in-law lives such a comfortable life? She has to be served by a mother-in-law every day. She has everything she wants. She really knows how to enjoy life. What's the difference between her and the capitalist?"
Chen Dabing, who was about to pour a cup of water, couldn't help but tremble when he heard the word capitalist. He put the teacup down heavily and scolded, "Can you control your mouth and stop talking nonsense? Do you want to die? She is a capitalist, then what are we? A capitalist's in-laws?"
Xu Baoju was frightened by her husband's scolding. She whispered, "I just can't stand it. How can a mother-in-law serve her daughter-in-law? How can that make sense?"
"Alright, alright, you're pregnant with your grandson, so just bear with it and everything will be fine after the baby is born." Chen Dabing comforted her with a few words and went out. It was the same few words that they kept saying every day, and he was tired of hearing them.
In the room, Chen Chao was lying on the bed with an irritated look on his face. Zhang Hong was leaning over the door and looking out. Then she pouted her lips and realized that her mother-in-law had complained to her father-in-law again.
She closed the door gently, then nudged her husband and asked, "How is it? Did you find anyone?"
"What the hell, it's less than ten minutes, who knew it would just disappear like that." Chen Chao couldn't figure it out, how could it be stolen?
Zhang Hong glanced at the person next to her and asked, "Don't you suspect Yang Jinsheng? What do you think? Does he feel guilty?" She felt very sad about losing such a big bag of jewelry, as it was all money!
Chen Chao shook his head. "I carefully observed his expression. He doesn't look guilty. It shouldn't be him."
"Then who could it be? I've also tried Xia Ju and Ding Li. They went to the toilet that night because they had diarrhea, but they also said they had never seen five dollars. Their expressions didn't seem to be fake." Zhang Hong thought about everyone in the compound in her mind, but still couldn't find the person who stole their things.
Chen Chao pounded the bed board fiercely and said angrily: "It's better not to let me catch you, otherwise, hmph..."
At this time, Zhang Hong looked at Chen Chao hesitantly and whispered, "I have something to say..."
Chen Chao frowned and said unhappily, "If you have anything to say to me, just say it."
After hearing what her husband said, Zhang Hong immediately expressed her guess, "Do you think it was the man you were with who stole it? Maybe he did it on purpose."
After hearing this, Chen Chao thought silently, then shook his head, "It shouldn't be. We left directly after hiding it. We originally planned to come back to get it in the middle of the night, but later we thought it was still unsafe, so we planned to hide it in another place. During this period, he was with me the whole time and didn't have the time."
"That's hard to say, maybe he has an helper!" Although Zhang Hong didn't know who hid the things with her husband, that person was the biggest suspect at the moment.
"Probably not. Okay, don't say anything. Pay attention during this period of time. If anyone's family suddenly becomes generous with money, tell me." Although Chen Chao said that he did not doubt his companion, he was still thinking about him in his heart.
Zhang Hong nodded. "Hey, do you know the family my mom used to work for? It's the Li family. They used to run a textile factory."
"I know. What's the matter?" Chen Chao was a little confused. Why did he suddenly bring this up?
"Well, isn't this what my mother told me? The male owner of the Li family took his second wife and their children abroad, leaving behind his first wife and two daughters. In the past, they sent money back every month, but later on, there was no more. Now the situation is tense, and people like them who have overseas connections are the most troublesome."
Chen Chao was getting impatient. "What on earth do you want to say?"
Zhang Hong rolled her eyes at him. "Why are you in such a hurry? Even though the Li sisters ran away with their mother, the house is still there. Maybe there are some good things hidden inside. Do you want to go take a look someday?"
"Tsk," Chen Chao laughed disdainfully, "I thought you were going to say something. Do you think everyone is like you? You don't get to take away the good things. Are they stupid? They won't take them away. Besides, the house must have been given to people who don't have a house. How are you going to get in? So that they can sue you for trespassing, right?"
Zhang Hong blushed, "I just feel sorry for the bag and want to make up for it..."
"Alright, alright, just give birth to my son. And don't tell my mom about these things. She has a bad mouth."
Chen Chao was also helpless towards his mother Xu Baoju, because whenever something happened at home, she would show it off, so many things were usually kept from her.
"I know. How could I not know what my mother is like?"
Li Fengyue, who was far away in Hong Kong, never thought that after such a long time, someone would still be thinking about their things. Fortunately, they had moved out all the things, so no one could take advantage of her.
On this side, Yang Jinsheng and Jiang Xinbai went straight back to their home after lunch.
After the doors were closed, Jiang Xinbai dared to speak out: "I didn't expect it was Chen Chao, I really couldn't tell."
"What's so obvious about this? Haven't you heard that you can't judge a book by its cover?" Yang Jinsheng knew that Chen Chao couldn't suspect him at the moment. Anyway, he felt that his behavior was normal.
"Oh, I have to keep that bag of stuff well. Even if I want to sell it for money in the future, I have to go somewhere far away."
Jiang Xinbai thought about the future in her dream. As long as she could endure for another ten years, when the world was open, their lives would be better. But when she thought about the fact that she would be in her thirties by then, she felt a little unhappy.
Yang Jinsheng noticed his wife's mood change and thought she was afraid, so he hugged her and comforted her: "Xiaobai, don't think too much. Anyway, we won't use that bag for the next ten years. I don't believe Chen Chao can keep an eye on it for more than ten years."
Jiang Xinbai couldn't say that she wasn't worried about this, so she could only hug her husband back and said in a muffled voice: "Jinsheng, don't do things like this in the future. You're so nervous!"
"Yes, yes, it was just a coincidence. It won't happen again in the future." Yang Jinsheng raised his hand and promised.
"Gold." At this moment, Yang Jiabao, who was sitting and drinking milk silently, suddenly blurted out the word "gold", which scared Jiang Xinbai and the others.
"Xiaobao, what did you just say? Say it again to your mother." Jiang Xinbai squatted in front of her son and looked at him and asked. But Yang Jiabao ignored her and drank milk by himself.
Yang Jinsheng was relieved when he saw his son didn't respond. He smiled and said, "We must have heard it wrong. Xiaobao is only nine months old. How could he speak..."
"Gold, money, woooo, wow..." Yang Jiabao started talking again as if he wanted to slap his old father in the face. Before Yang Jinsheng had even finished his words.
