Chapter 12 Something was stolen
The bride's family had to make preparations in advance and move all the things out of the house. No matter what the item was, it had to be wrapped in red cloth and tied with a bow, even on the cupboards.
After the big items are moved, the valuables and small items are moved last.
Xu Canlan went from jealousy at first to numbness later. When she saw Xu Weilan starting to take those valuables, her heart started pounding as if it was going to jump out of her throat.
She was very afraid that Xu Weilan would find out.
Of course, Xu Weilan also saw her little expression.
My aunt came over with a gift list and said, "Weilan, take a look. This is the gift list. No problem. We'll move the things out."
Xu Weilan took the gift list and glanced at it, then looked at the bracelet on her wrist, "Hey, Aunt, I think this golden bracelet with a dragon and a phoenix is more suitable for my wedding dress. Find which pair of bracelets I want to wear."
Xu Canlan didn't know that the bracelet he was holding was one of the pair of bracelets.
The aunt-in-law was not impatient with Xu Weilan's request and immediately helped to find it.
Open the treasure boxes one by one to find it.
Finally I found the box of gold jewelry at the bottom.
When my sister-in-law opened the box, she only saw three bracelets. She couldn't help but frown, "Wei Lan, why is there one bracelet missing?"
Her words fell.
My aunt took over the conversation, "Not only is there a bracelet missing, there's also a sapphire necklace missing here."
My aunt pointed to a line of words on the gift list and said.
Aunt Xu Da and Aunt Xu Er were stunned!
"Oh my God! There won't be any thieves at home, will there? Luckily her aunt-in-law knows how to do things and knows to check in advance. Otherwise, when she comes to pick up the bride later, she's afraid of delaying the auspicious time. Who would check this?"
Xu Ergu was a little panicked.
Aunt Xu immediately shouted, "Xu Tianming! Quick! Call the police! They've been robbed! Lan's gold bracelet and gemstone necklace are missing!"
Xu Tianming stumbled when he heard this, and nearly fell down. He stammered, "How... how could something be missing? How many items are missing?"
"Two!"
Aunt Yao answered the call.
Yao's mother folded her arms and said, "If it was really a thief, why did he only steal two items? I'm afraid someone in the family took them away."
She said this.
Suddenly, two bodyguards in black uniforms came out and said, "We have been guarding the Xu family these days, and no outsiders or suspicious people have approached the Xu family.
It can’t be a thief!”
Xu Tianming couldn't even stand.
He glanced around the scene in a panic, but didn't see Li Aihua. Instead, he saw the sneaky Xu Canlan!
His heart skipped a beat and he howled, "Quick! Search! Look everywhere in the house, make sure it's not left there."
Xu Canlan bit his lip when he returned to the house.
Someone from the Qin family will be coming soon.
The Qin family is so particular and they certainly don't want to miss the auspicious time.
As long as she doesn't take it out, they can't find it and they will give up.
Xu Canlan kept brainwashing himself.
But her hands couldn't help shaking so badly that she even wanted to hide the things somewhere else.
But there were too many people outside, coming and going. Aunt Xu and Aunt Xu had loud voices, and their shouting could be heard throughout the entire compound.
"Someone stole Lan Yatou's gold bracelet and gemstone necklace. Catch the thief!"
"What a sin, you damned bastard! The auspicious time is coming soon, we can't delay it!"
"Xu Tianming, tell me the truth, did you take it?"
Aunt Xu held up Xu Tianming's white shirt and questioned him in a cold voice.
Xu Tianming felt weak all over, thinking about the sneaky Xu Canlan, "I must be stupid for stealing my daughter's things! My daughter has no face in her husband's house, how can I have face!"
Aunt Xu thinks so too!
Then everyone who looked everywhere shook their heads and said, "It's not in these rooms! It's not in any of them!"
At this time, Xiao Mancang came running over while eating candy, "Little bastard! Little bastard stole the gold bracelet of my aunt. She discussed it with the vicious mother-in-law that day! Thief! It's her! She, she, she!"
As Xiao Mancang said this, he started banging on Xu Canlan's door!
Xu Canlan was startled and without thinking, she grabbed the two things and stuffed them into her underwear. As long as they couldn't find the things in her room, they couldn't say that she took them!
cannot!
Xu Canlan opened the door and looked at Xiao Mancang with vicious eyes. She was about to slap him, but Aunt Xu was quick to hug her nephew.
Aunt Xu raised her hand and slapped him, "You little bastard who is afraid of the light of day, you have the heart to lay your hands on a five-year-old child!
You are a thing born of a mother but not raised by her!"
Bang!
A slap hit Xu Canlan's face hard.
Aunt Xu is too strong. Xu Canlan has been in a bad mood these past two days and hasn't eaten much, so he feels top-heavy!
Aunt Xu slapped Xu Canlan to the ground.
Xu Canlan fell to the ground with distorted features, looking at Aunt Xu with vicious eyes. She had to remember the faces of everyone here clearly!
From now on, even if they kneeled on the ground and begged her, she would not give them a penny!
All the people here are beasts! Beasts!
Xu Canlan didn't cry or make a fuss. He just lay on the ground pretending to be dead, not moving at all!
Aunt Xu showed no mercy, "Her room hasn't been searched yet, come in and look for it!"
Second Aunt Xu, the eldest aunt, and the younger aunt all came in to look for him.
Xu Tianming looked at Xu Canlan lying on the ground and felt a little sorry for her. He wanted to pull her up, but Xu Canlan just glared at him fiercely and then crawled up from the ground.
Xu Tianming frowned and felt very annoyed.
He knew very well who took the things.
But he can't say it!
If he tells it out, his elder and second sisters will beat him to death!
He would insist that he was the one who instigated Xu Canlan to take it!
He is just stupid, marrying Li Aihua, a troublemaker, and taking in this little bastard!
Aunt Xu Da and Aunt Xu Er turned Xu Canlan's small house upside down, but in the end found nothing.
Xiao Mancang was still shouting: "The little bastard is a thief... a thief...!"
Yao's elder aunt and younger aunt rolled their eyes and tugged at the corner of Xu's clothes, "Could her elder aunt be on her?
A five-year-old child can’t lie! I believe Mancang!”
Aunt Xu glanced at the little Mancang in Aunt Xu's arms.
Aunt Xu also said immediately, "Our Mancang is the most well-behaved and won't talk nonsense. It must be her fault! She has always been jealous of Lan Yatou!
She must have taken Lan Yatou’s gold bracelet and jewel necklace!”
Aunt Xu looked at Aunt Xu II, and Aunt Xu II looked at Aunt Yao, and the four women exchanged glances and rushed forward in tacit understanding!
Xu Canlan was about to open her mouth to deny it, but Aunt Xu and Aunt Yao had already held her down.
Aunt Xu carried Xiao Mancang out, and Xu Tianming also went out, and did not forget to close the door. It was so embarrassing, so embarrassing!
Fortunately, the Qin family hasn’t arrived yet.
If the Qin family came, we would be disgraced throughout the country.
Xu Weilan looked at Xu Tianming, "Dad, why did Xu Canlan become like this? Don't you have any responsibility?"
Xu Tianming didn't say anything.
Xu Weilan smiled bitterly, "She is a stepdaughter, more important than your biological daughter. That's why she is so daring. She has affairs with men without any matchmaker, steals things, and is capable of anything!"
She didn't hold back.
She would have to stab him in the heart a few more times!
Let him reap what he sows!
Xu Tianming was filled with remorse, "I know! Lan, today is your good day, don't think about these unhappy things anymore!"
Xu Weilan snorted, "How can I not think about it! I will remember the harm you have done to my mother, me, my elder brother, and my sister-in-law for the rest of my life!"
Xu Tianming couldn't help but yell, "Xu Weilan! No matter what, I'm still your father!"
"Are you worthy?"
Xu Tianming was silent.
Xu Weilan did not argue with him any more and just smiled strangely.
The door of Xu Canlan's house was opened.
Aunt Xu started to complain, "Oh, what a bastard, born by a mother but not taught by her. He actually took Lan's gold bracelet and jewel necklace!
She actually hid it in her underwear!"
Xu Weilan was not surprised at all. She looked at the bracelet and gemstone necklace with a slight smile on her face. "Aunt, second aunt, uncle, and younger aunt, thank you for your trouble. Please check the gift list carefully."
"Don't worry, little girl Lan. Just sit there and wait for the Qin family to pick you up. Leave these little things to us!"
Xu Weilan was truly filled with gratitude.
Before she said she wanted to marry into the Qin family, Aunt Xu Da and Aunt Xu Er also treated her very well.
Well, who would like a bastard with no blood relationship?
After Xu Weilan goes to Qin's house later, Yao's eldest uncle and younger uncle will also go with her. Xu's eldest aunt and Xu's second aunt will not go because they have to stay here to manage her mother's family's wine.
After thinking it over again and again, Xu Weilan stuffed the red envelopes she had prepared in advance into the hands of her eldest aunt, second aunt, and third aunt.
"Eldest aunt, second aunt, third aunt, my mother passed away early, and my grandmother is old now. I have owed you three elders for worrying about my marriage. Weilan has nothing to give you, but this is a small token of my appreciation, and you must accept it!"
Not only did the Qin family bring so many good things, they also gave a betrothal gift of 38,000 yuan.
Thirty-eight thousand!
That's no small number.
The Xu family may not even have it in their entire lives.
Xu Weilan is not a stingy person, especially towards people who are good to her.
These elders have been busying around without taking a break since the day they proposed the marriage.
This little red envelope from her is nothing.
The eldest aunt, the second aunt, and the third aunt felt the thickness of the red envelope, their hands trembled, and they all looked flattered and surprised, "Lan girl, this..."
"What the hell! If you don't want to be my elder, just reject me!"
Aunt Xu was the most straightforward. "Miss Lan treats us as half a mother, so we naturally treat you as half a daughter. Be good! We accept you!"
"Thank you, eldest aunt, second aunt, and third aunt!"
Xu Weilan knew that Li Aihua didn't care about anything, so she had to worry about many things on her own.
After distributing the red envelopes to the three elders, she gave all the return gifts to other elders and neighbors to the third aunt.
My third aunt works as an accountant in the factory and is particularly good at accounting.
So it is most reassuring to leave it to her.
Men are never considerate and thoughtful when doing things, so Xu Weilan can only do things on her own.
The amount of red envelopes she gave to her eldest aunt, second aunt, third aunt, and two aunts-in-law was the same, all 88 yuan.
Other elders and peers who helped received red envelopes of 16 yuan.
Then give the kids red packets of six yuan each.
Then there are the return gifts, which are all red envelopes of RMB 3.6.
Some scattered small red envelopes are naturally 50 cents.
The Qin family is generous, so she naturally cannot be stingy.
Giving fifty cents in a small red envelope is really generous these days!
A big bag of red envelopes, packed into categories with the types written on them.
Auntie San took a look and couldn't help but say, "Although our little girl Lan is young, she is really smart and thoughtful. No wonder Boss Qian likes her.
Such a good lady may not be found even with a lantern."
