"What?"

In her previous life, Lu Jiaxin heard about the old man being defrauded of his money. She asked, "Fifth sister-in-law, are you sure your parents really have savings?"

Ma Lili nodded and said, "Yes. My dad has a high salary, and we are very frugal. I can't say how much, but I'm sure I've saved three to five thousand."

Lu Jiaxin said, "Then maybe their money was defrauded a long time ago, and they didn't dare to let your eldest sister know, so they lied and said they lent it to you to buy a house."

Normal people would not do this, but Ma's parents were obsessed with the continuation of the family line. They could not afford the money and were worried that Ma's husband and wife would change their mind and let the child change back to their original surname, so it was possible that they made up a lie to please Ma's husband.

Ma Lili was so angry today that she had no time to think about this matter. After listening to Lu Jiaxin's analysis, she quickly calmed down: "You are right, I have to find out where their money went first."

Lu Jiaxin felt very sorry for Ma Lili. It was unfortunate to have such parents and sister. It was really unacceptable to beat the child just because Qiangqiang accidentally let the cat out of the bag. Isn't this taking out anger on the child? However, as the sister-in-law from the next room, she couldn't say much. When the fifth brother comes back, she must remind him to pay more attention to the child's psychology and not to create any shadows.

Lu Jiaxin didn't pay much attention to the Ma family's affairs. After all, every family has its own problems. She herself was accused of being unfilial! However, she had no feelings for Lu Hongjun. As long as he didn't say anything about him in front of her, she didn't care.

After taking the prescribed medicine, Lu Jiaxin took Qian Xiaoxiao to see the doctor for a follow-up checkup the next day. There were no seats on the bus, so she stood in the aisle. At the next stop, a young woman in her twenties with a pretty face squeezed in next to her.

"ah……"

A scream rang in Lu Jiaxin's ears, scaring her. Turning around, she saw Qian Xiaoxiao holding the hand of the woman next to her.

The young woman tried to struggle, but couldn't get free.

Seeing Lu Jiaxin looking at her, Qian Xiaoxiao explained: "Sister Xin, this is a thief. She used a razor blade to cut your bag and tried to steal your money."

Although she was two years older than Lu Jiaxin, he was her employer, so she followed Xue Mao in calling him that.

Lu Jiaxin looked down and saw that her backpack was indeed slashed, and she hadn't noticed it at all. This thief's stealing skills were quite advanced.

When the passengers heard that she was a thief, they all checked their bags. One man shouted that his wallet was missing and suspected that the young woman had stolen it.

Qian Xiaoxiao reached out and touched the woman's body, and unexpectedly found two wallets on her waist. Because it was cold now and everyone was wearing too many clothes, it didn't look strange to put two wallets in her waist.

Just as the man reached out to take the big wallet, Lu Jiaxin took the wallet in her hands first: "Tell me, what's in your wallet?"

The man paused and said, "I just put some money in."

Seeing his expression, Lu Jiaxin suspected that he was trying to take advantage of the situation: "How much money is in the bag?"

The man said he put in several hundred dollars, but he didn't remember the exact amount.

Seeing that he couldn't even tell how much money he had, Lu Jiaxin wondered how she would give him the wallet: "We are going to send her to the police station now. I will give the wallet to the police. If you want the wallet back, talk to the police!"

The man originally wanted to frame Lu Jiaxin for embezzling his money when he saw that she refused to give him the wallet, but he shut up after hearing this.

When the bus stopped, the man got off and ran away. Qian Xiaoxiao couldn't chase the thief because he was holding her captive, so she could only watch him run away.

A policeman from the police station took their statements, first praising Qian Xiaoxiao for being brave, then reminding him and Lu Jiaxin to seek help from other passengers if they encounter bad guys again and not act rashly. The main reason is that the two of them have young faces and can be seen at a glance that they are in their teens.

Qian Xiaoxiao said nonchalantly: "No need to ask for help, I'm not afraid of ten people like this."

The police officer looked sideways.

Lu Jiaxin explained: "Her grandfather is a martial artist. She has been learning martial arts from him since she was a child. She can defeat three adult men by herself."

The police officer looked at the skinny Qian Xiaoxiao with a look of doubt on his face: "Really?"

Qian Xiaoxiao hated being questioned the most, so she immediately stretched out her right hand and said, "If you don't believe me, let's try arm wrestling."

Lu Jiaxin pulled her arm and said, "Uncle Public Security, we still have things to do. If there's nothing else, we'll leave."

After the two men left, the policeman saw the thief holding his right hand and crying in pain. At first he thought he was being hypocritical, but when the thief rolled up his sleeves and revealed a bruise, he finally understood why Qian Xiaoxiao wanted to arm wrestle with him. With such strength, he couldn't win! After leaving the police station, Qian Xiaoxiao pouted and said, "You shouldn't have stopped me just now. That policeman looked down on me. I have to let him know how powerful I am."

Lu Jiaxin said, "It's enough for you to know your own abilities. There's no need to prove it to everyone. Also, like the wallet incident just now, you should verify it before giving it to him."

Qian Xiaoxiao got angry when talking about this: "How shameless! He even tried to claim the wallet. If I hadn't caught the thief, I would have chased him and beat him up."

Because of this incident, it was already past three in the afternoon when she returned home from the follow-up checkup with the doctor. When she opened the door, she saw Ma Lili washing the sheets and quilt covers.

Lu Jiaxin was a little surprised: "Fifth sister-in-law, why didn't you go to work?"

Ma Lili said that she had taken a day off and it was not worthwhile to go back to work: "Jia Xin, have you eaten? If not, I will make it for you."

Lu Jiaxin waved her hand and said, "No, Xiaoxiao and I are eating outside. Fifth sister-in-law, you have been busy these days and it's hard, go back to the house and have a good rest! Leave the housework to Xue Mao and Xiao Qiu."

Both of them were restless and even discussed selling lunch boxes at Xiushui Street, but this idea was suppressed by Lu Jiaxin. Now that Xiaoxiao was here, she took over all the heavy work.

Ma Lili said she had no problem doing this kind of work.

Lu Jiaxin has the habit of taking a nap. Her biological clock is very scary. She didn’t sleep today and now she is very sleepy. She yawned and prepared to go back to her room to rest.

When she walked to the door and found Ma Lili following her, she knew that she had something to say to her. After entering the house, she smiled and asked, "Fifth sister-in-law, what's the matter?"

Ma Lili found it difficult to speak.

Seeing her like this, Lu Jiaxin had a bad feeling, so she said, "Fifth sister-in-law, call Fifth Brother! If there is anything, talk to him carefully. If it really doesn't work, ask him to come back and handle it."

Ma Lili shook her head and said, "Now the family owes so much debt, we are relying on him to make money to pay off the debt."

Lu Jiaxin nodded to show that she was right, and then yawned. It was obvious that she was going to sleep.

Seeing this, Ma Lili spoke up: "Jia Xin, I asked my parents, and they refused to tell me at first, but after repeated questioning, they told me the truth. They lent three thousand yuan to my cousin to start a business. But my cousin is not good at business, and he lost all his money and is still in debt."

Lu Jiaxin asked curiously, "It's not shameful for your parents to lend money to your cousin. Why didn't they just tell your eldest sister, but instead said they lent it to you?"

Ma Lili smiled bitterly and said, "Jixiang changed his surname to Ma only last month. If my eldest sister and brother-in-law knew that the family savings were gone, they would take the child back and change the surname back to Yan."

Lu Jiaxin was speechless. It wasn't like the Ma family had an heir to the throne, so they needed a male heir to continue the family line. But this was the Ma family's business, and she didn't want to meddle in it.

After saying "oh", Lu Jiaxin yawned again: "Fifth sister-in-law, I'm sleepy, I'm going back to the room to sleep for a while."

Ma Lili shouted, "Jia Xin, wait a minute."

With a sigh in her heart, Lu Jiaxin turned around and asked, "Fifth sister-in-law, is there anything else?"

Ma Lili hesitated for a moment before finally saying, "Jia Xin, my parents begged me to admit it, but I refused. But they knelt in front of me and begged me, and I, I couldn't refuse."

What do you mean you can't refuse? If you have the ability to fill this hole, then you can just do your filial duty. But you have no money but still accept it? It's fine if you accept it, but why do you come to her and tell her something? Why, she looks like a sucker.

For Lu Jiajie's sake, Lu Jiaxin still tactfully reminded: "Fifth sister-in-law, if you admit this, you have to pay back the money. Three thousand yuan is not a small amount of money."

Ma Lili said with red eyes: "I know, but I can't just watch them die."

Lu Jiaxin really wanted to die quickly, but reason made her control her impulse.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Ma Lili said with gritted teeth: "Jia Xin, Jia Xin, can you lend me the money first? Don't worry, I will pay you back as soon as possible."

I wanted her to back off, but she still spoke. Lu Jiaxin was a little angry and spoke rudely: "Fifth sister-in-law, if you want to help your mother's family, you can find a way yourself. My money didn't fall from the sky. I earned it with my sick body. If anyone wants to help me, I will give it to them. I won't leave any bones for them."

Why did she give three thousand yuan to Ma Lili as soon as she came back, and also offered to lend them money if they didn't have enough money to buy a house? That's because Lu Jiajie loves his original self and is doing his best to protect her. In return, she took the initiative to help Lu Jiajie when he encountered difficulties, and was willing to help him make a fortune. But what are the Ma family and the Yan family? They are two families that people want to avoid. Lending money to them, what are you dreaming about! After leaving this sentence, Lu Jiaxin went into the house.

Ma Lili looked at the door that slowly closed, her face burning. She thought she could borrow the money if she asked, after all, Lu Jiaxin was very generous to their family, but she never expected that she would be so ruthless.

Lu Jiaxin didn't take it to heart and fell asleep as soon as she lay down. When she woke up, she didn't get up immediately, but thought about the Ma family's affairs.

After searching her memory, she found that Ma's parents were very frugal. They were reluctant to buy meat dishes. Lu Jiajie and Ma Lili could only buy meat, chicken and duck by themselves if they wanted to eat meat. It was the same. The two of them had only saved more than 2,000 yuan after six years of marriage. She doubted that the couple, who were so frugal, would lend such a large sum of money to their nephew? Even if Ma's father was willing, would Ma's mother be willing?

Since there is doubt, we must clarify it.
