How could the daughter he raised be a thief?

"Dad, what did you lose?"

Li Hongwei asked Li Pingwang again.

He knew that there were still some old things in the house, such as the candlesticks, silver locks, copper coins used by his grandparents when he was a child, silver dollars from the Republic of China period, etc. Did they lose these things?

Liu Lanxiang snorted and said sarcastically, "What else can be lost? Is there anything valuable in that old house?"

Li Hongyan had already moved all the valuables to her own home. What else was left in the old house except the shabby and worn-out furniture?

She glanced at Li Hongyan, and the meaning was self-evident.

Li Hongyan didn't want to compete with Liu Lanxiang now, so she said to Li Hongwei, "Some very important things were lost. Call Xiaoyu right now and ask if she took them."

"If she took it, ask her to return it immediately."

She was very afraid that those things would fall into Chen Xiaoying's hands. What would she do if she threw them away?

Whenever Li Hongyan thought about how old she was, she wondered if her mother Liang Xiuqing and Li Pingwang and Chen Xiaoying, who were of the same generation and were already in their sixties or seventies, were still alive.

She was very anxious.

Because if she died, no matter how rich her mother was, she would not get any benefit!

Li Hongyan looked like something was wrong. Not to mention Liu Lanxiang, even Li Hongwei felt something was wrong.

"Dad, what did you lose?"

Li Pingwang sided with Li Hongyan: "I can't explain it to you clearly, so don't ask. Your elder sister asked you to call, so hurry up and call."

Li Hongwei felt aggrieved and glanced at Liu Lanxiang.

Liu Lanxiang said with an unpleasant expression: "Dad, look at what you have done. It is impossible for Xiaoyu to steal your money. What do you want to ask?"

Do you think your granddaughter is a thief?

"Why are you talking so much nonsense? I told you to fight quickly, so you just fought quickly. Or are you hiding something from yourself?" Li Hongyan was the most anxious person. She had bad intentions to begin with, and had already regarded Chen Xiaoying, who raised her, as a villain with a dark mind who would destroy her evidence of recognition of her relationship, not to mention Liu Lanxiang.

"Did Xiaoyu give you the things he stole to hide?"

When Li Hongyan said this, Liu Lanxiang was furious: "You are talking nonsense. My Xiaoyu is not that kind of person. How can she steal anything? My family is very rich now. We have leased more than 100 acres of land and make money every year. Xiaoyu even opened a store. She never asked us for a penny when she was in college. What could she steal from our father?"

"If you have nothing to hide, then just ask. Call her in front of us and ask her." Li Hongyan subconsciously no longer regarded Li Hongwei and Liu Lanxiang as brothers or sisters.

She is not the daughter of Old Li's family, her mother is someone else.

So, these are all outsiders, and it is not worth it for her to control her temper.

Liu Lanxiang was so angry that every time she saw her elder sister-in-law, she found that she had become more shameless and more vicious.

"Listen to her and call Xiaoyu now." Li Pingwang said angrily.

Li Hongwei also felt uncomfortable, but he knew that his daughter Li Yutong was not such a person.

"Hit them, and let them see."

They refused to tell anyone what they had lost. Who knew what the father and daughter were planning behind their backs?

Liu Lanxiang first called the hot pot restaurant, but no one answered.

Li Hongwei said, "Xiao Yu said that the store will open on the tenth day of the first lunar month. I guess there won't be anyone in the store today."

Liu Lanxiang called Chen Xiaoying again. Chen Xiaoying answered the phone and listened to what she said.

Something was lost in the old house. Li Pingwang and Li Hongyan told her about it. Someone saw Xiaoyu go to the old house yesterday and wondered if Xiaoyu took anything. They asked her to return it as soon as possible.

Chen Xiaoying smiled and said, "Press speakerphone. I'll let that shameless old man listen to it too."

Li Pingwang, who was listening nearby, suddenly became angry and started to curse: "Who are you scolding, you old woman?"

Li Hongyan was a little nervous and quickly pulled the corner of Li Pingwang's clothes: "Dad, talk to Mom properly."

From what she heard, it seemed as if there was something else behind the words, as if something had fallen into her hands.

In order to preserve those things, I can't make her angry again.

"You talk, I'm listening." Li Pingwang said angrily.

Chen Xiaoying said, "Don't tell Xiaoyu about it. I asked her to find the things. Li Pingwang, Li Pingwang, you shameless old beast, you hid it so well. You have deceived me and hurt me all my life. There is no other beast with a sick brain like you in the world."

Li Pingwang's face darkened, and he became angry and embarrassed: "You, what are you talking about..."

He understood that it must be Chen Xiaoying who knew.

At this moment, his eldest son Li Hongwei and eldest daughter-in-law Liu Lanxiang were standing next to him. Li Pingwang has always been concerned about his reputation and did not want them to know about his youth.

Chen Xiaoying laughed sarcastically: "You are still pretending, that's good, I don't know anything either."

After saying that, she hung up the phone.

Li Hongyan was anxious: "Dad, what should we do?"

Li Hongwei and Liu Lanxiang looked at each other, not understanding what was going on.

But I could tell something was going on, that the lost things had nothing to do with money, but were some shameful things of their father Li Pingwang. These things should also be related to Li Hongyan, otherwise why would she be more anxious than their father?

It was still early in the morning, and the father and daughter hadn't eaten yet. However, because they were in a hurry, they didn't feel hungry at all.

"Let's go find her," said Li Pingwang.

The father and daughter ran back, rode their bicycles, and went to find Chen Xiaoying panting.

Liu Lanxiang was stunned: "Hongwei, what's going on? They are going to look for our mother like this, won't anything happen?"

Li Hongwei was also worried: "I'll go over and take a look, you can eat by yourself."

After he came back, Liu Lanxiang asked him about what happened at his mother Chen Xiaoying's house yesterday. He just casually said that he wanted to divide the family property again, but his mother didn't agree, and he didn't say anything else.

Liu Lanxiang didn't take it seriously. Li Hongyan had instigated Li Pingwang and Li Hongqiang, father and son, to divide the family property, something that had happened many times before.

Li Hongwei rode his motorcycle quite fast, and in less than twenty minutes, he arrived at his mother Chen Xiaoying's house.

Li Yutong was holding her chubby little cousin Li Sihan. When she saw her father coming, she called out and then said nothing.

Li Hongwei frowned, thinking that his eldest daughter was becoming more and more daring. She went to her grandfather's house to rummage through things, and did not even tell him, her father, what she found.

"Brother, have you eaten yet?" Li Hongxia had just come out of the kitchen after cleaning up the dishes when she saw her elder brother Li Hongwei: "There's still rice in the pot. I'll bring it to you."

Li Hongwei went to work in the fields at dawn in the morning. He worked hard and got hungry quickly.

At this time, my stomach was a little empty: "Just take a steamed bun and a bowl of soup."

That being said, Chen Xiaoying never compromises herself. The food she prepares is much better than that prepared by Liu Lanxiang, who doesn't like cooking and only likes to make do with what she has.

So, what Li Hongwei saw was eight-treasure porridge, locust flower meat buns, boiled eggs, fried dough sticks and so on, which whetted his appetite.

He had a good meal and waited until he was done.

Chen Xiaoying asked him, "Are your dad and his family here?"
