Chapter 32 Proving Your Innocence
After saying this, Lu Qiaoge went to talk to Mrs. Li again: "Grandma Li, I think the weather must have been very good on the day you lost your gold ring. The sun was shining brightly, and you happened to get up a little late. Were you the only one at home, and the window was open without a curtain, and you were sleeping at the time?"
Mrs. Li’s eyes widened instantly. She remembered what happened that day very clearly.
But how come Lu Qiaoge said it as if she had seen it with her own eyes?
Lu Qiaoge frowned slightly. This old lady was too suspicious. She even suspected her?
No wonder the thing has been found but the problem is not over yet.
Lu Qiaoge continued, "The swallow happened to be out foraging at that time. When it passed by your house, it saw the golden ring shining in the sun. You were sleeping soundly, so it flew in and took the ring away." After saying this, Lu Qiaoge asked Mrs. Li with an innocent look on his face, "Grandma Li, am I right?"
Then he said enviously: "My grandma can't sleep in, she gets up at six o'clock every day."
An old lady said, "Mrs. Li, you don't make breakfast every day, you eat ready-made breakfast and you sleep in. Your two daughters-in-law don't say anything, what do you want? Don't make trouble for no reason. Are you happy if you mess up your good life?"
Lu Qiaoge asked again: "Grandma Li, is my analysis correct?"
Mrs. Li said nothing.
Li Zhenhui said angrily: "Mom, yes or no, why don't you say anything?"
Lu Qiaoge chuckled: "Oh my god, Grandma Li, you didn't suspect that I was standing in front of your window that day, did you?"
The crowd laughed.
No one noticed Director Hu outside the crowd and Captain Jin who rushed over after hearing the news.
Captain Jin is Cui Min's cousin, and he is here to support his sister.
This is my second uncle’s only daughter. After he passed away, my second aunt remarried and worked in another military factory. She left Cui Min in his house, just like her own sister.
He wanted to go forward, but was stopped by Director Hu who happened to pass by and told to wait.
But I didn’t expect Lu Qiaoge to be here.
This girl is quite interesting!
Lu Qiaoge blinked her bright peach eyes and said, "I remember you lost your gold ring on May 19th, but that day I was at the Third Residential Committee helping everyone make matchboxes. I went there before dawn and didn't get home until after eight in the evening."
At this time, someone in the crowd loudly gave proof.
"Yes, I know this. This girl has been in the third neighborhood committee that day."
Mrs. Li blushed and said quickly, "Yes, your analysis is correct."
Lu Qiaoge smiled: "That's good."
After saying that, Lu Qiaoge brought a ladder. It was not completely dark yet, but Qi Shuang still took a flashlight and a kitchen knife. Next to him was a basket prepared to hold a swallow's nest.
Old Hu thought Lu Qiaoge wanted to say a few more words because he found that this girl was quite talkative.
Unexpectedly, Lu Qiage really took down the swallow's nest and put it carefully into the basket.
He didn't say another word the whole time.
At this time, the naughty swallow finally flapped its wings and flew out.
Lao Hu nodded secretly in appreciation, saying that a smart person who knows when to advance and when to retreat will have a good future.
In today's matter, Lu Qiage is a complete outsider and does not hold any position yet. She is currently not qualified to preach to the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Besides, I have said everything that needs to be said. It would be bad if I said more.
Old Hu thought he had seen through Lu Qiaoge, but Lu Qiaoge looked at Cui Min with a solemn expression, "Sister Cui, you just said that you were going to jump into the river to prove your innocence. I hope you were just saying that. I almost drowned a few days ago. It was such a painful feeling. Then I suddenly remembered a comic book I read before. It said that in ancient times, there was a big bully who wanted to occupy the land of a poor family, so he falsely accused the youngest son of the family of eating the big goose. Do you know what the final result was?"
After a lot of trouble, Cui Min's anger had long since subsided, and she was now attracted by the story told by Lu Qiaoge.
The kids gathered around loved listening to stories the most. The crowd originally came to watch the fun, but now they were all looking at Lu Qiage.
This story hasn't been published yet, so almost no one knows about it.
The little boy who wanted to eat roasted bird eggs just now was about eight or nine years old. He chased Lu Qiaoge and asked, "What's the result?"
Lu Qiaoge hesitated for a moment, but still said, "As a result, the child's mother was forced to cut open her son's stomach with a knife, so that the bully and others could see whether her son had stolen the bully's goose or not."
The little boy's face turned pale, he held his stomach and asked in a trembling voice: "...But then what..."
Lu Qiaoge glanced at the people who were concentrating on the matter and said angrily, "Then there must be no such thing."
There was a dead silence at the scene.
Many people looked at Lu Qiaoge with indescribable expressions.
The story this girl told was so scary.
Lu Qiaoge pretended not to notice the crowd's reactions, but she was afraid of scaring the little boy, so she smiled and said to him, "It's just a story, it's not real, don't be scared."
But at this time, Mrs. Li's face turned pale.
She seemed to have heard a similar story before, when she was a child?
It’s hard to describe Lao Hu.
It's really a combination of coaxing and scaring.
He thought Lu Qiaoge would continue, but Lu Qiaoge acted as if nothing had happened. She smiled and said to Qi Shuang, "Sister Qi, I took the swallow's nest away."
Qi Shuang wanted to ask her where to take it, but when he saw the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law next door who didn't say a word and whose faces changed drastically, he swallowed back what he was about to say.
Even if he moved to the Lu family, what would happen? Lu Qiaoge obviously didn't care.
Lu Qiaoge walked out of the Qi family's yard holding the basket and smiling.
The crowd dispersed, and Cui Min, who looked dazed, and Old Lady Li, who looked pale, both returned home.
At this time, Lao Hu had already left, and Captain Jin went next door.
After a while, Captain Jin's scolding voice came from next door, but he was scolding Cui Min.
Cui Min: "Brother, I was just saying that out of anger. I won't die to prove my innocence."
The yard was very quiet. After a while, Mrs. Li said, "I...I won't make random guesses anymore."
Qi Shuang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
When I looked outside again, Lu Qiaoge had already walked far away.
By the time Lu Qiaoge got home, Huang Juan had already left.
But the Lu family members were all there, and they all looked at her happily.
Then, Lu Qiaoge knew that she was admitted.
Lu Qiaoge grinned, well, he was still very happy.
But she still showed the basketball hoop to her family and told them about what happened between Qi Shuang and the Li family.
Mrs. Lu was very happy: "Swallows are good. They not only eat insects but also flies and mosquitoes."
If it were any other day, Meng Xia would have scolded Lu Qiaoge for meddling in other people's business.
But I was so happy today that I forgot everything else.
She happily instructed her eldest son: "Go get the ladder and secure the swallow's nest now."
Finally, the location was chosen under the eaves of Old Mrs. Lu.
Because it is the most suitable place to shelter from wind and rain.
Meng Xia looked at her second daughter happily and said, "Go to bed early. You still have to report to work and fill out forms tomorrow. There are so many things to do."
Oh, my second daughter finally has a stable job and won’t have to worry about her life anymore.
Lu Da was also happy.
The second daughter got first place!
Keep asking for support! What I love most now is all kinds of votes~
