Yang Su waved his hand and said, "Brother Chen, I really haven't taken it. If all else fails, contact the police. I really haven't taken it."
Old Chen knocked on the table and suddenly asked, "Old Third, I didn't tell you I lost the money. You just came back, so how did you know I lost the money?"
Chen Xiangbei's face froze, his eyes wide open, his mind racing. Didn't his father mention the lost money? Then what did he say before?
Oh, he was asking if he had ever been into his bedroom.
Chen Xiangbei broke out in a cold sweat and silently took a small step behind his second brother.
Chen Xiangnan was also shocked. He was actually led astray by the third brother. He didn't even notice such an obvious loophole and continued to follow the third brother's words.
He swallowed, clenched his fists, then relaxed his body, smiled, and said, "Dad, why do you say that as if the third child stole it? We've all seen this box. When you divorced Mom, you took it out and said that there was a stack of money in it that belonged to us brothers and sisters, and you would divide it among us when the time comes."
Now the box is on the table, and it's empty. If you ask Lao San the same question again, anyone would think that the money is lost. Isn't that right, Lao San?"
Chen Xiangbei nodded, and then said, "Dad, you really make me sad. Why do you always blame us every time something bad happens? We are your biological children. You will share the money with us in the future, right? Why risk breaking off all ties with you by stealing it now? I didn't think about stealing before, and I won't think about it now.
I ended up eating at my second sister-in-law's family, and they were so nice to me. Unlike you, you didn't even think about how a jobless kid like me could survive out there. You didn't even think about whether I'd starve when my family didn't leave me any food, but you only thought about whether I'd stolen your money. How could you be like that? Outsiders treat me better than you do, so where are you putting your thoughts now?"
Chen Xiangbei sounded very aggrieved when he said this. Although he really took the money, the things he said later were real. Old Chen never cared about them, his children. If he had cared, he would never have thought that Chen Xiangbei would starve to death without money.
Old Chen was indeed furious: "There's food at home, who told you to run out instead of eating?"
Chen Xiangbei: "You're out of your mind. This damn old woman locked up all the food. You want me to just chop the cabinet open with a big axe, right? If I really do that, you won't be happy. You're a difficult old man too. After marrying a new wife, you wish your previous sons were dead."
Old Chen slammed the table, "You're talking nonsense."
Chen Xiangbei: "You fart, you fart, your head is full of farts."
Old Chen was furious again. He took out the little money he had left from his pocket and slammed it on the table. "What do you mean I won't give you money? Take this money. It's enough for you to spend for a while."
Chen Xiangbei took a big step onto the table, took the money from Old Chen's hand, and stuffed it all into his pocket. "Thanks, Dad. I finally don't have to go around eating for free recently. Although my second sister-in-law's family is very polite to me, it's embarrassing to go there all the time."
Old Chen had just given all his remaining money to Chen Xiangbei in a fit of rage. Now his savings were gone, and he was completely broke. He felt a bit regretful. But the good news was that his third son's words made sense, and even showed some trust in him as a father, so Old Chen believed him.
But if we can find out who stole the money and return it, then there will be no problem. So Old Chen asked: "Did you take the money? As long as you tell the truth, I won't bother you."
His eyes swept over everyone present, even the three children of the Wang family were looked at several times by him. No one said a word, and Chen Xiangbei had even hidden behind his second brother to count the money.
Chen Xiangnan: "Dad, what do you have to ask? I just said that our family has not lost money in the past 20 years. They lost money as soon as they came. Isn't this an obvious fact? My eldest brother and his wife rarely come home, and they don't have a key to the front door.
Tang Jiao and I haven't been back much lately, not even staying here, so it's impossible for us. The third brother is out all day, and when he's home you're all there. He only comes back in the middle of the night to sleep, so there's no way he could steal anything."
Chen Xiangbei nodded again. Yes, yes, although the two idiots Wang Ming and Wang Xian were at home on the day he stole the money, he came in quietly, stole the money quietly, and left quietly without alarming anyone, except for the girl who was Yin Shengge's girlfriend that day - the village girl.
But it was obvious that the female comrade was on his side, and Yin Sheng's entire family was on his mother's side, so there was no way they would tell his father that he had stolen the money.
So, the conclusion is that there is absolutely no way his family would know that it was him who stole the money, except for the second brother. The second brother is a shrewd man. Although he has a bad heart, he has a smart brain, and he must have guessed it.
Old Chen was silent for a moment, not knowing what he was thinking, and then asked, "Yang Su, you know how I feel about you. Just tell me what you want. Your son needs a job, and I went to great lengths to find him one. You asked for a betrothal gift, and I gave it to you. I didn't even ask you to bring a dowry.
You said your eldest son was getting married and needed a house, so I gave you my eldest son's old house. I even kicked my third child out to Xiang Hong's room. I kicked Xiang Hong out just to make room for your two sons. I can give you anything you want, so why did you steal money?
It's not like I can't make money. I also told you that the money tied up in red string is for my children to use for their big events. It's been saved for a long time and was divided up between their biological mother and me before they divorced. I've made it very clear to you that besides that money, you can use anything else I have.
The money I earn every month is enough for everyone in my family to have meat every day, so why would you steal money?"
Yang Su looked at the old man in disbelief. He had just said that his son stole the money, and now he said it was him. Does this old man have any brains? Just like he said, there was no need for her to steal the money. Why would she take such a big risk just by talking?
Even though it has been explained so clearly, he still thinks that she stole it. She is not that kind of brainless woman. She is still relying on Old Chen. How could she break up with him? Since she has no intention of breaking up, it is even more impossible for her to steal the money.
Yang Su felt that in all his years of life, he had never felt as aggrieved as he did today.
In the past, if anyone dared to frame her, she would go up and start pulling their hair. She would pull the hair and slap the woman in the face, and she would fight the man with a brick. Anyway, the strong ones are afraid of the fearless ones, so who is afraid of whom?
But she couldn't treat Old Chen like this, as her two sons' jobs depended on him.
When Yang Su raised his head, tears were already streaming down his face. "Brother Chen, I wish I could die to clear my name."
