"Auntie, there's a thief! I was sleeping, and the thief went through my pockets. The money I earned from selling my work during the day is gone. I woke up instinctively and grabbed the scissors from under my pillow and stabbed him." Qiao Wanyue was trembling as she hugged Aunt Taohua.
Liang Xiu: ?
He Shu: ?
Are they thieves?
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law exchanged a glance and instinctively hid their injured arms behind their sleeves.
But no matter how quickly you hide, someone will eventually see you.
"Wanyue, are you sure someone broke into your room and stole your money?"
Qiao Wanyue nodded with absolute certainty, "Yes, Second Uncle, it's a thief. My house was robbed a few days ago. I was afraid they would come again, so I deliberately put a few pieces of paper in my pocket and a few pieces of yellow paper under the bed. When you catch the thief, you can check if they have any paper in their hands."
"Look, Liang Xiu's hands are bulging."
Under everyone's gaze, Liang Xiu subconsciously let go of her hand, and a piece of scrap paper fell down.
Everyone: ......
He Shu instinctively hid behind her mother-in-law.
She had hidden the few "big unity" bills she found in Qiao Wanyue's room in her sleeve, but they fell out in her excitement.
Everyone: !!!
There are thieves there.
It was clearly theft by himself.
Just then, Qiao Sheng rushed out, shouting, "Thief! The quilts at home have been stolen, and the large trunks I made for Shanshan are also gone!" He had made furniture for Qiao Shanshan before marrying Liang Xiu, but it hadn't been delivered when the thief stole it. It was only delivered today, preventing it from being stolen again, and now…
"Second Uncle, what's wrong?" Qiao Sheng asked, looking at his second uncle's gloomy face.
Second Uncle was an elder in the Qiao family brigade, and everyone respected him.
He was also an extremely kind elder.
In his eyes, Qiao Sheng was a decent junior.
His eyes were filled with disappointment.
"What's wrong? Did you lose something again?"
Qiao Sheng didn't understand the disappointment in his second uncle's eyes. "The suitcase I made for Shanshan and the quilt I just bought are all gone. Second Uncle, you've come at the right time. Please find someone to help look for them, quickly."
Qiao Sheng was really anxious. They hadn't even stolen all the money in the house yet. The newly decorated items were made with money that Liang Xiu had secretly kept and money given by their eldest son. If they lost all of that, the Qiao family would really be starving.
"Qiao Sheng!"
The second uncle held up his cane as if he wanted to poke his head open.
Qiao Sheng was bewildered. "Second Uncle, what's wrong?"
"Your wife goes to your own daughter's room to steal things, and you're going to cooperate?"
Qiao Sheng: "What stealing? How could I..."
He caught a glimpse of Liang Xiu, He Shu, and Qi Xue hiding in the corner of the wall, with two small holes in their arms.
Qiao Sheng: ?
He felt guilty and dared not look at his second great-uncle.
"Second Uncle, let me explain."
Second Uncle said coldly, "Explain what? Explain that you stole your daughter's money, explain how you were biased, or explain that you didn't want to prepare a dowry for Wanyue and that you made up this excuse."
"Second Uncle, no, my house really was robbed." Qiao Sheng was heartbroken.
Although he really didn't prepare anything for Qiao Wanyue, his house was indeed robbed again.
Second Uncle sneered, "You're not going to say that while you're at home, that thing just disappears in the blink of an eye, are you?"
Qiao Sheng nodded vigorously, "Yes, Second Uncle."
