Chapter 1 I didn't steal the money! Little black skinny monkey

"Bad guy! Thief! You stole Guoguo's money, and Guoguo will punish you when he comes back!"

When Jiang Tang was confused, she could hear the child's accusing voice in her mind, which made her frown.

With a buzzing sound in her ears, she slowly opened her eyes and looked straight at a little black monkey in front of her, which was staring at her with its big bulging black eyes.

Two dark arms were stretched out in front of her, with a big head and an incredibly thin body, looking like a skinny monkey.

He stared at her like a wolf cub.

Jiang Tang's heart felt empty for a moment.

She clearly remembered that she had saved some money with great difficulty and planned to return to the countryside to build a small country villa of her own and enjoy a carefree life!

I didn't expect that she would have a car accident on the way home, so she should be in the hospital, but now something is obviously wrong.

Jiang Tang's brain moved mechanically. What was going on with this strange little boy and this shabby, old house?

This old-style house was eliminated more than 30 years ago, and this dirty child is unusual and weird.

Jiang Tang didn't dare to act rashly. She looked at the child in front of her and spoke tentatively.

"Where's your brother?"

She seemed to vaguely hear the child say that he had a brother and that he stole his brother's money?

Qin Chuyang stared at the bad sister-in-law in front of him with his eyes wide open, pointed at the thing in Jiang Tang's hand with his shaking little finger, and threatened her fiercely with his mouth wide open, "Guo Guo will be back in two days, I will tell Guo Guo that you stole the money!"

Jiang Tang blinked and lowered his head, only then did he notice that he was holding a light blue cloth bag in his hand. He felt a thin texture in his palm, which should be the money that the child mentioned.

Moreover, in addition to the unfamiliar environment around her, the floral dress and a pair of white mesh shoes she was wearing did not belong to her.

Jiang Tang realized something very quickly. Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his head, and a memory that did not belong to him was forced into his mind.

She traveled through time!

To be more precise, she traveled into a book and became a cannon fodder in a period novel.

The original owner had the same name and surname as her, also called Jiang Tang.

In 1982, the country implemented family planning. After the infertile adoptive mother miraculously became pregnant, she had to reluctantly send the original owner back to the Jiang family.

The heroine of this book is the original owner's younger sister Jiang Cui. Jiang Cui was originally engaged to the original owner's current husband Qin Xiao, but the heroine is a high school student with secondary education and advocates free love, so she is unwilling to marry the cold-tempered Qin Xiao.

The kind-hearted heroine didn't want to hurt Qin Xiao and was in a dilemma for a moment.

At this time the original owner was sent back, and after learning about her sister's engagement, she took the initiative to propose to marry Qin Xiao.

The original owner had been quiet for only a few days after marrying Qin Xiao. She stole the money Qin Xiao left at home while he was out. She originally planned to go back to find her adoptive parents after stealing the money.

Who would have thought that Qin Xiao's younger brother, Qin Chuyang, who was only four years old, would discover the situation. In a panic, the original owner accidentally pushed Qin Chuyang down and hit the doorstep, then ran away in a panic.

By the time Qin Xiao was called back, it was too late. Little Qin Chuyang had already been accidentally killed by the original owner.

In the end, the original owner was also madly retaliated by Qin Xiao and ended up miserably.

As a cannon fodder for the heroine to marry Qin Xiao, the original owner only received a sentence of "she deserved it" and a sigh of regret when the hero and heroine were living happily in the end: If the original owner could be content to stay with Qin Xiao, even if her life was not as good as the heroine's, it would not be too bad. Unfortunately, there is no if.

The little black monkey in front of me is Qin Xiao’s younger brother Qin Chuyang?

She traveled back to the time when the original owner stole money.

Thinking of the original owner's fate, Jiang Tang's heart shuddered and he felt a little frightened.

She cherishes her life very much and doesn't want to die.

Jiang Tang took a deep breath and suppressed his wildly beating heart.

Don't panic. Now that Qin Chuyang has just caught you, nothing serious has happened yet. There's still time for everything.

She squeezed the cloth bag in her hand and handed it to Qin Chuyang without hesitation. She bent down to make her eyes level with the boy's and forced a warm smile on her face, "Chu...Chuyang, I didn't mean to steal the money. I just wanted to take some money to buy Chuyang something delicious."

Qin Chuyang looked at the bad sister-in-law in front of him suspiciously, and then stared at the money she handed over, shaking his head like a wave drum, "You stole the money, this money is a pot."

Jiang Tang's voice became softer. "Your brother and I are a family, right? So his money is my money. It's not stealing if I take money from my family."

Qin Chuyang's eyes widened in shock at her words. Just when Jiang Tang thought she had convinced him, the little guy stretched out his black little claws and grabbed the cloth bag in Jiang Tang's hand.

"No, Guo Guo said that the money was for my aunt to take care of me when I was hungry. You are not allowed to take it!"

Jiang Tang was speechless. This little guy remembered his brother's words very well and it was difficult for her to comfort him.

I was afraid that I might accidentally push the little black kid, so I had no choice but to let go.

Qin Chuyang hunched his little body and held the cloth bag tightly in his arms, looking at Jiang Tang warily.

"You go out first."

Jiang Tang couldn't help laughing out loud, but suppressed his smile at the warning look from the young man and left the room on his own initiative.

Turning to look at the little guy twirling his hands and feet to close the door, Jiang Tang shook his head helplessly.

Then he looked at the yard where he was. Except for an old water tank beside the wall, the yard was desolate and empty.

The old house built in 1982 still has large black tiles and stone brick walls. The morning sunlight is not glaring. Looking out from the yard, there are a few trees standing outside the gate nearby, and in the distance there are mountains surrounding it, all green.

The summer morning breeze blew by. Jiang Tang was stunned for a moment, then slowly walked to the kitchen nearby.

The kitchen was big enough. She stood woodenly in front of the stove and looked around the kitchen. The room was large but empty, and there was nothing to eat.

There was only an old stove and an old-fashioned cupboard covered in dust. The top layer of mesh had holes in it, and the ceiling was pitch black with traces of smoke from a low fire.

Jiang Tang sighed in frustration. She wanted to go back to the village, build a small country villa, and enjoy life.

The current situation is very rural, but there is no money and no villa.

Jiang Tang's life went on as planned, and his mood did not change much. Even though such a big accident happened, he was lucky to be still alive.

There is no other way now but to take it one step at a time.

"What are you doing!"

The sudden voice frightened Jiang Tang so much that he trembled all over.

When she turned around, she saw that the young man had hidden the money and was now looking at her warily.

Jiang Tang relaxed and became a little restrained. She really had no experience in dealing with children, especially such an aggressive child.

It's not that he was afraid of the other party. The child was just too thin and weak. His whole body was dark, except for his pair of eyes that looked like a wolf.

She was afraid that the other party might accidentally bump into her and cause trouble, and she couldn't bear Qin Xiao's revenge.

"Let me see if there's anything to eat at home. Aren't you hungry, Chuyang?"

As soon as the words fell, a gurgling sound suddenly came from the quiet space.

Jiang Tang looked over and saw the little guy's face was dark red, with his dirty little paws covering his belly in embarrassment.

It was really hilarious, and she tried to negotiate with the child, "Chuyang, take out the money, and I'll take you to the county town to buy some delicious food, okay?"

Before the young man could respond, someone outside the yard shouted, a middle-aged woman's voice.

"Chuyang, open the door for Auntie, Auntie is here to bring you breakfast."

Jiang Tang was a little curious, so she turned to look outside the door. The young man next to her snorted at her and trotted out.

Jiang Tang followed him out. The young man opened the gate for him. Outside the gate stood a thin, dark woman with a flowered scarf on her head and a basket in her hands. She was touching the young man's head lovingly.

When he noticed Jiang Tang, the smile on his face stopped and his voice was cold, "Comrade Jiang Tang, I'm here to bring food to you and Chu Yang."

It is completely different from his attitude towards Qin Chuyang and Yu.

Jiang Tang simply didn't care about her attitude and nodded in sudden realization. The original owner of this woman remembered that after Qin Xiao left home to work as a laborer in the brick factory some time ago, she would come to deliver meals to her and Qin Chuyang every day.

It should be that Qin Xiao asked her to look after Qin Chuyang, and she was just a sideline employee.

Auntie Tian came into the house carrying a basket, put the basket on the table, and carefully brought out the food she had brought.

A bowl of stir-fried vegetables without any oil or water, and two bowls of corn porridge.

The young man tilted his head and looked at Auntie Tian, ​​"Auntie, I'll go get you some money."

Jiang Tang saw the kid who had been on guard just now quickly run back to the room, then come out with two small bills, tiptoeing and handing them to Aunt Tian.

Auntie Tian took it with a smile as if it was nothing new, and carefully put it into her inner pocket.

Jiang Tang noticed that this breakfast cost only two cents.

Auntie Tian said, "Okay, you guys eat first, I'll bring you dinner in the afternoon."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Jiang Tang as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he said nothing and left with the basket on his shoulder.

Jiang Tang could understand what she had left unsaid.

It was nothing more than wanting to persuade her to live a good life with Qin Xiao. However, he had said it openly and secretly before, but was ignored by the original owner, so he was too lazy to say it again now.

Jiang Tang closed her eyes. The boy ignored her completely and sat on the pony, eating the corn porridge in one gulp.

It was hard for her not to notice the shiny benches and the tarnished wooden table, but she didn't sit down.

I reached out and picked up the corn porridge. There were still some black stains in the light yellow porridge. It should be the porridge cooked in an iron pot, and the rust from the pot was left in the porridge.

She frowned as she watched the little guy eating with gusto, blew on the porridge at her lips, and tentatively took a sip despite the discomfort.

The porridge without anything added to it tasted really bland and a bit irritating to the throat. Jiang Tang frowned and swallowed the porridge in his mouth with difficulty.

Not caring about the waste, he put the porridge back on the table intact.

I picked up the chopsticks and took another bite of the stir-fried vegetables. The oil was negligible and the whole dish only had a light taste of salt.

She put down her chopsticks.

The young guy glared at her with disdain clearly in his eyes.

Jiang Tang choked and felt a little embarrassed.

Although she had lived in the village as a child, she had never suffered any hardship and had never eaten such tasteless food. Now that she was despised by the little brat, Jiang Tang never forced herself to eat again.

It was tasteless and unclean, she just couldn't accept it.

Really not being welcomed by the young fellow, she turned around and followed the original owner's memory to the original owner's own room. As soon as she entered the room, she noticed a package on the messy bed.

She knew that the original owner had intended to steal the money and run away.

She looked around the original owner's room, then looked down at her clean floral dress and white shoes.

I feel a little helpless. The original owner is really a clean-cut person. This room is really dirty and messy, but the original owner was able to clean it up himself. It's quite a skill.

Jiang Tang touched her smooth face, somewhat curious about her current appearance. She looked around before she pulled out a bright red plastic-shell mirror from the messy wooden cabinet. The mirror was so dusty that she couldn't see the features clearly. She blew on the mirror, then picked up a rag to wipe it clean, and carefully examined the face in the mirror.

The original owner was actually 70% similar to her.

The only consolation now is that he looks a little younger, a few years younger than her, just in his twenties, pretty and beautiful, with a lively appearance.

After carefully observing his current face and putting down the mirror, Jiang Tang walked to the bed, opened the package, and searched carefully before he managed to find five yuan and forty cents from his pocket.

This amount of money is not even enough to buy a train ticket back to the capital. No wonder the original owner wanted to steal the money Qin Xiao left for Qin Chuyang.

Logically speaking, even if the original owner was sent back to the Jiang family by his adoptive parents, it wouldn't be just this little money.

The adoptive father was also a small cadre in the capital and gave the original owner a lot of money. However, after the original owner returned to the Jiang family, the Jiang family was afraid that she would go back to find her adoptive parents, so they kept an eye on her and withheld her ID.

The heroine, on the other hand, is kind-hearted. Every time the original owner sees her going to the city, she will give her money, hoping that she can help her contact her adoptive parents.

As time went by, the money was all gone, and every time the heroine came back sighing, she would bring her bad news.

Jiang Tang carefully wrapped the money in a handkerchief and left the room.

It was still early, and she planned to go to the county town. The young man concluded that she wanted to steal money, so she could only take the remaining money to the county town and then buy things and bring them back intact to dispel the young man's suspicion.

Before she went out, a small black shadow suddenly appeared in front of her.

Qin Chuyang glared, "Guo Guo said that if you want to go out, send me to your aunt's house."

Jiang Tang was slightly startled. Did Qin Xiao expect the original owner to run away? He made preparations in advance.

He was not afraid that the original owner would run away, but he told his younger brother to send him to Aunt Tian's house if the original owner left home.

Jiang Tang was in a complicated mood, so in fact, if the original owner had not been caught by Qin Chuyang while stealing the money, even if she really ran away, Qin Xiao would not have planned to care about her.

The little black boy in front of him was stubborn and fierce. Jiang Tang sighed, "Chu Yang, do you want to go to the city with me?"

"I didn't lie to Chuyang. I just wanted to take the money so that I could go to the city with Chuyang to buy delicious food."

Qin Chuyang's eyes lit up, and he hummed softly in embarrassment.

"go."

The bad sister-in-law wanted to take him to the city, and he followed her. He was afraid that the bad sister-in-law would secretly go home and steal the money from the pot, so he wanted to stay with the bad sister-in-law.

Absolutely...definitely not why he wanted to go to the city.

Jiang Tang breathed a sigh of relief. As long as this little guy didn't insist that she stole the money and went to Qin Xiao to complain, Qin Chuyang was still alive and well, and she had also attempted to steal the money but failed!

As long as she can change the little guy's bad impression of her before Qin Xiao comes back, Qin Xiao will have no reason to retaliate against her.
