While Chen Xiangbei was hesitating, a woman's voice suddenly came from the open window, "Take it all, leave nothing behind. Don't hesitate, or you'll be trapped in the house and see what you can do."
Chen Xiangbei looked up suddenly and saw the head of a simple rural woman sticking out of the window. Her yellow and black face and rough hair, coupled with her slightly evil smile and arrogant words, made Chen Xiangbei feel very divided.
He recognized her as Ye Ping, Yin Shengge's former fiancée. She was said to be the second daughter of a senior executive at the meat processing plant, raised in the countryside. When they first met her, everyone in the compound was saying how unpretentious Yin Shengge was, that such a promising young man had found such an honest and dutiful wife from the countryside.
Although her father was a high-ranking official, her simple and reserved demeanor baffled everyone in the compound. Yin Sheng looked like a bright child, but was it possible that bright children nowadays tended to like introverted and reserved people?
At that time, Chen Xiangbei also thought that Brother Yin Sheng might have been threatened by the big boss of the meat processing plant, and was forced to marry someone or his future would be ruined.
But when Chen Xiangbei saw Ye Ping, who was watching the fun and not minding the trouble, by the window, he became interested. This person's inner qualities seemed too inconsistent with her appearance. Ye Ping was still quietly instructing him from outside, "Hurry up and get it. Then go to the bed and find a long hair of your stepmother and put it in the box. Then put the box back where it was, and then run."
If your dad finds out about this, he'll definitely start a fight with your stepmother. "Hurry up, hurry up, what are you doing? Don't you want to see them fighting? I'm telling you, your stepmother definitely has her eye on the money too. Rather than letting her cheat you out of it, you might as well take the initiative."
Ye Ping had been treated differently by her family since she was a child, and had suffered a lot of grievances. But the one she hated the most was her stepmother, her father's current wife. During the time when she was brought back from the countryside, she had caused countless troubles for her father with her honest and decent appearance, but they had never suspected her.
Ye Ping is very experienced in doing such dark and evil things.
Under her command, Chen Xiangbei stuffed all the money and bills into his arms, and then put the box back to its original place.
Just as he finished doing this, he heard some noise outside.
Chen Xiangbei's heart skipped a beat and he jumped out of the window, squatting in the corner facing Ye Ping.
Ye Ping gave him an admiring look and whispered, "I won't tell anyone. Don't worry. I have to go find Yin Sheng. Go do what you need to do."
She sneaked away and returned to the Yin family again, saying to Old Lady Yin and Yin Sheng, "Your compound seems quite interesting."
These words opened up Old Lady Yin's chatterbox and she began to talk. The Old Lady Xia she was talking about was of course an important person who deserved to be called such. Ye Ping felt very excited when she heard this.
Old Lady Yin had initially doubted her son's judgment, especially when some people whispered that her daughter-in-law wasn't up to par. But Yin Sheng brought her over several times, and every conversation with her was a delight. Soon, she selectively forgot about Ye Ping's appearance and felt that her future daughter-in-law was... quite good.
Chen Xiangbei ran down the street clutching his chest, feeling a bit panicked. This was the first time he had stolen so much money, and it was his father's. Most importantly, he had even learned to frame someone. This made Chen Xiangbei's conscience ache, and he even hesitated to see Old Lady Xia.
He felt a little sorry for his mother, who helped others every day, couldn't stand injustice, and had the purest heart. He felt his behavior was as shameless as a mouse's. If his mother knew, she would probably be upset in the middle of the night.
But, since he had already stolen it, he couldn't just give it back. Chen Xiangbei stopped while running, and when he came to his senses, he was already standing at the door of... his second sister-in-law's parents' home.
The money on his chest was so hot that even Chen Xiangbei's face turned red. Chen Xiangbei didn't know whether he should go in and ask his second brother to share the money, but it would feel weird if he did so.
Last time, the second brother took Yang Su’s money, but he hasn’t shared it with them yet. They are clearly in a cooperative relationship, so why did he just pocket it? Chen Xiangbei hesitated again.
In the past, he didn’t care whether his second brother’s actions were right or wrong, but now Chen Xiangbei believes that he still has some ability to distinguish right from wrong.
So, when Tang Jiao came out with her bulging belly and called him, he said hello and turned around and ran away.
Once again, Tang Jiao couldn't guess what her brother-in-law Chen Xiangbei was thinking about every day, so she simply ignored it.
While running, Chen Xiangbei first went to Grandma Xia's compound and found that there were many people in her house. He felt that it was not a good idea to go to her with so much money. Moreover, his mother obviously did not want to have anything to do with his father. If he gave the money to his mother, he would definitely have to explain the source of the money. If he said it was stolen, his mother might be furious.
Giving it to mom is not an option either, Chen Xiangbei was in a dilemma.
He walked on the road with a sad face. The clothes he was wearing were the spring clothes that Old Lady Xia made for the whole family last year. They were tattered and no one would have thought that he had such a large bundle of banknotes hidden on him.
"Xiangbei, why are you here?"
When Chen Xiangbei turned around, he saw the big guy Qiao Shan approaching with his tool bag.
"Brother Qiaoshan, why are you here?"
Qiao Shan chuckled, "Master and I finished our work early today, and he told me to go home and rest for the night. I was just about to go home."
Chen Xiangbei's eyes lit up, "What about Sister Qiao Yi?"
Qiao Shan: "She should be at home today. My dad picked her up yesterday."
Chen Xiangbei: "Then I'll go home with you."
Qiao Shan was stunned for a moment: "Ah? You were kicked out by my Master Xia?"
Chen Xiangbei rolled his eyes at him and said, "Brother Qiao Shan, you don't even have many nice words to say now. How could my mother chase me away? I... I just want to talk to Sister Qiao Yi about something."
"Okay, let's go." Qiao Shan didn't doubt him and asked Chen Xiangbei to follow him back.
The two of them slowly came to Qiao's house. Chen Xiangbei thought a lot along the way and finally came up with an idea that he didn't know whether it was smart or stupid. After having dinner at Qiao's house, he pretended to leave. When it was dark, he came to the back door of Qiao's house and hid the money on the roof of their back room.
But just as he jumped down, Chen Xiangbei slapped himself again. Since he could hide the money on someone else's roof, why not hide it at his mother's house? He could just not tell her.
After working for most of the night, Chen Xiangbei finally hid the wallet in an oil-paper bag under the eaves of Old Lady Xia's house in the backyard.
To this end, he checked it up and down, left and right several times, making sure that no one could see it, and then left with satisfaction.
