"That's right. Our area is so poor, how come thieves are targeting us?"

"The worst is the Zhou family. They stole the money that was used to save people's lives. How wicked!"

"This damned thief will be beaten to death when he is caught."

In the past few years, thieves have been appearing frequently in this area of ​​the old street, and more than half of the households have lost valuables. Everyone has long been complaining about this, and now hearing that the Ling family has been robbed again, everyone is indignant.

"What are you doing? Why are you standing outside my house in the middle of the day?"

Seeing Li Li coming back, the neighbors made way for her and said, "Li Li, your house has been robbed, go back and check it out."

When she heard that there was a thief, Li Li ran into the house and asked, "There was a thief? What was stolen?"

Seeing the two police officers looking at Li Li in confusion, Ling Jiang quickly introduced, "Comrade police officer, this is my wife."

Upon learning that Li Li was the mistress of the house, one of the police officers walked up to her and questioned her.

"Has anyone come to your house recently?"

Li Li shook her head. "No, we are alone at home, no one else comes."

After saying that, Li Li couldn't help but ask the police, "Did my house really get robbed?"

The public security officer said in a businesslike tone, "We received a report from your husband and came to investigate the scene. You can check with your husband about what was lost."

Ling Jiang directly said to his wife: "There are 205 items missing from our house. Go back to your room and check if your things are missing."

After hearing what her husband said, Li Li's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Ling Chuan kept his wife's reminder in mind and carefully observed Li Li's every move since she returned home.

Seeing Li Li's face change immediately after hearing that the goods were lost, he had some vague guesses in his mind.

"Sister-in-law, do you know where the lost goods are?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the two police officers and Ling Jiang all looked at Li Li.

Li Li smiled awkwardly and said, "Oh, this is all a misunderstanding. The goods were not lost. A few days ago, a friend came to me and wanted to take some goods, so I gave them to him. Afterwards, I forgot to tell Lao Ling that it was all a misunderstanding. There was no burglary in the house."

Upon learning that it was just a misunderstanding, the police severely criticized Li Li and left.

Seeing that there was nothing exciting to watch, the neighbors dispersed one after another.

"Someone came to you to get the goods, why didn't you tell me first?"

After the police left, Li Li became bolder and didn't take her husband's questioning seriously. "You're out doing business every day and you're not at home. What can I say?"

"Then why didn't you tell me when I came back at night?"

"I forgot. There are so many things to do every day. How can I remember so much?"

Hearing this, Ling Jiang stopped talking nonsense and directly stretched out his hand to his wife, "Where's the money from selling the goods? Give it to me."

"I haven't received the money yet. I'll give it to you when I get it."

“Who’s the one who picked up the goods?”

"Why are you asking so many questions? You wouldn't know me even if I told you."

Seeing his wife still acting like a scoundrel at this time, Ling Jiang also became angry and shouted: "Tell me! Who is it!?"

Li Li was startled and looked at her husband in fear. "You, why are you so angry? I help you sell the goods for the sake of our family. Otherwise, do you think I am willing to manage your business?"

"Don't think you're the only one who's smart and everyone else is a fool. If you don't take out the money today, you can't live like this anymore. Get out of this house!"

No matter how fiercely they had quarreled before, or even threatened to divorce, her husband had never said the word "get out" to her in front of her.

Li Li felt guilty and scared for a moment, so she just tried to get away with it by crying, making a fuss, and threatening to commit suicide.

"Mr. Ling, do you have any conscience? When I first married into our family, there wasn't even a decent piece of furniture. Did I ever say anything disrespectful to you? Now that you've become rich and wealthy, you want to drive me away. You're so heartless and ungrateful, aren't you afraid of retribution and suffering..."

Listening to Li Li's crying, Ling Jiang felt no guilt or pity, only sadness.

"Isn't this just retribution for me? What debt did I owe in my previous life that I ended up marrying a lazy, greedy, and selfish woman like you?"

Hearing this, Li Li exploded immediately, "You complain about me being bad in this and that, but how good are you? You spoil your daughter to the sky every day, and your son is just like an adopted child. You earn so much money every day but don't spend a penny. There is no such stingy person as you in the world. Even if I sold your goods, so what? If I hadn't worked hard to run this family, would you, Ling Jiang, be where you are today?"

No matter how angry Ling Jiang got or how harshly he threatened her, Li Li just refused to take out the money.

In the end, Ling Jiang had no choice but to temporarily put the remaining inventory in the Siheyuan.

Yun Mo was not surprised at all to learn that the goods were indeed "stolen" by Li Li.

In fact, as early as she knew that Ling Jiang was in charge and would no longer hand over his income to Li Li as before, she had anticipated that Li Li would have the idea of ​​stealing the goods.

"Please invite Big Brother to come over for lunch on Saturday, and bring Chunhua along as well. I want to see how her handwriting has improved recently."

Since his daughter-in-law cared about his niece's studies, Lingchuan naturally agreed with joy.

—

Ever since learning of his true condition, Yun Huan has been refusing to cooperate with treatment, which has caused a lot of headaches for Yun's family and medical staff.

For this purpose, Jiang Yu specially found the best psychologist in Jiang City to help Yun Huan with his counseling, but the effect was minimal.

Finally, at the suggestion of the psychologist, Jiang Yu had to go to the Su family and want Su Mingan to go to the hospital to accompany his little daughter.

Yun Huan likes Su Mingan, and with Su Mingan's encouragement and company, she may be able to cheer up.

"The psychiatrist said that Xiao Huan has lost the will to live. If she continues like this, her body will collapse at any time. Old man, Peirong, please treat it as a plea from me to save Xiao Huan. I will even kneel down before you."

Having said that, Jiang Yu was about to kneel down in front of the Su family.

Song Peirong quickly supported the man and said, "Don't be like this. Let's talk it over."

Jiang Yu took the opportunity to grab Song Peirong's hand, her red eyes full of pleading, "Peirong, you are also a mother, you can understand my feelings best. Xiao Huan is only 15 years old. When I think of her illness, my heart is broken. In the past half month, I have not been able to sleep well at night, for fear of waking up to hear bad news. I really have no choice..."

Although she didn't like the daughter of the Yun family, Song Peirong felt uncomfortable seeing Jiang Yu crying.

But no matter how uncomfortable it was, she had to harden her heart and put forward conditions.

Although it is very immoral, she would rather bear all the blame for her son's future.

"I can let Ming'an go to the hospital to accompany Xiao Huan, but I have a condition."

Seeing Song Peirong relax, Jiang Yu was overjoyed, "You say."

"I want to cancel the engagement between Ming'an and Xiaohuan."
