"Zhang Hongmei, stop slandering people. You're the one who brags about it every day, saying that your Li Xin has found a rich partner and that he gave more than 1,800 yuan as a betrothal gift. Just think about who in this village doesn't know about this, right?" The woman was not one to be trifled with, and she retorted with a glare.
The neighbors came over to see what was going on, but Zhang Hongmei pointed at their noses and scolded them, and even accused them of stealing. Naturally, some of them felt unhappy.
He Beichen gave so much betrothal money, not to mention it was placed in Guangyuan Village, even if it was placed in the town, this amount of betrothal money would be ranked among the top!
Zhang Hongmei was very proud and had been showing off this matter in the village a lot during this period.
When some people are envious, naturally some people will be jealous. In addition, Zhang Hongmei has a bad character and has quarreled with many families in the village. Some people have long been dissatisfied with her.
"That's right. They say wealth should not be shown off. If you keep telling everyone about it, everyone will know that your family is rich. If thieves don't rob you, whose house will they rob?" Someone in the crowd immediately responded.
"Bah! I think you deserve it. This money doesn't belong to you, so even God couldn't stand it and took it away from you!"
The neighbors retorted angrily, and it was clear from their conversation that it was because Zhang Hongmei was too high-profile that she attracted thieves.
They had been unhappy with Zhang Hongmei for a long time and had been talking about the betrothal money every day, so instead of sympathizing with her, they even took the opportunity to mock her.
After all, apart from one's own family, who would want others to live better than themselves?
Zhang Hongmei was so angry that she had a heart attack. She picked up an empty bamboo basket on the ground and threw it towards the crowd at the door.
"You are just jealous. I will tear your stinky mouths off!" Zhang Hongmei cursed angrily, rolled up her sleeves and rushed forward to fight with these people, looking like a shrew.
Li Jianping was standing next to him, and his face suddenly became even darker.
"Mom, what time is it now? You are still in the mood to quarrel? Look at yourself, is now the time to quarrel?" Li Xueping hurried forward to pull Zhang Hongmei. It was already heartbreaking enough that everything in the house was stolen, and now Zhang Hongmei was acting like a hooligan and wanted to fight with others.
"These people are just watching the fun and making a fool of themselves. They are all laughing at our family!" Zhang Hongmei was dissatisfied.
Zhang Hongmei was filled with rage after her house was robbed and she was mocked by her neighbors in a sarcastic manner.
Li Xueping pulled her and pointed to Li Jianping's direction.
Zhang Hongmei was not too stupid. She looked in the direction her eyes were pointing. After seeing Li Jianping's expression, she immediately fell silent and dared not say anything more.
"Okay, okay, there's nothing to see in our house, you all can go back." Li Xueping said to the neighbors outside the door and quickly closed the door.
"If you ask me, her family deserves it. I don't know how proud Zhang Hongmei was a few days ago. Good thing, her eyes were almost on the top of her head. She was so cocky. Now look what happened. She's been targeted by thieves, right?"
Outside the door, there were voices of gloating.
"Alright, it's none of our business. There's more going on at the Li family, and there's no rush. I'm going back to eat first!"
"Hey, do you think they won't even have anything to eat tonight?"
The people outside were laughing and talking for a while before they finally dispersed.
…
"You bitch, I'm so unlucky to marry you. You always complain about everything. Why didn't I get rid of you?" Li Jianping stretched out his index finger and poked Zhang Hongmei's head.
Zhang Hongmei: “…”
Isn't she too happy?
The betrothal gift is 1,800 yuan. The ancestors’ graves are about to smoke. Why can’t she show off a little?
"Dad, it's getting late. If we don't go to the town to report to the police, we'll have to wait until tomorrow! The longer we delay, the harder it will be to find the lost things." Li Xueping was also anxious. After all, her review materials were also stolen.
"I'll deal with you when I come back!" Li Jianping said to Zhang Hongmei angrily and left home in a hurry.
The entire Li family home was in a mess. Li Zhisen was still crying in his room over his little toys and White Rabbit milk candies, but no one cared about him at the moment.
After watching this wonderful show, Li Xin turned around and walked towards his room.
Li Xueping was behind her, looking at her deeply, wondering what she was thinking at the moment. The Li family was suddenly robbed, was it really nothing to do with Li Xin?
Li Xin returned to his room, closed the door, and entered the space.
All the things moved from the Li family were piled outside the research institute. Li Xin spent some time to tidy them up before walking into the research institute.
All the ingredients were given to Sanmao, who prepared a sumptuous dinner tonight. Li Xin thought that the Li family might not have enough to eat, so he felt extremely satisfied with the meal.
"Mom, I'm hungry and want to eat." Li Zhisen cried so hard that his body twitched. He touched his rumbling stomach with a wronged look and walked out to find Zhang Hongmei.
"There is nothing to eat at home now. That unkind thief didn't even leave any seasoning. He must be poor!" Zhang Hongmei couldn't help cursing when she thought of the kitchen that had been emptied.
Seeing that she didn't go to cook, Li Zhisen started howling again.
"Why don't we go to our neighbor's house and borrow some vegetables and rice? We have to eat dinner at night." Li Xueping felt even more annoyed when she heard her brother crying.
"How could they, who only care about watching us have fun, be willing to lend it to us!" Zhang Hongmei listened and shook her head to refuse without thinking.
Not to mention that she simply couldn't bring herself to do that, even if she went to borrow from those women, she could guess that those gossipy women wouldn't give it to her!
