As she spoke, she pulled the roll of money out of her pocket—which was actually a hidden compartment in her pocket.
Su Tong froze for a few seconds, then quickly bolted the door, removed the rubber band, and counted the items.
"Two hundred and ninety?"
He held the money, looked at it for a long time, and then picked up the rubber band.
"Fourth Brother, this must be the money you lost! The thief took ten yuan, probably for pocket money! But why would he hide it on my roof beam?" Su Ruyi felt completely overwhelmed.
Su Tong shook his head and sighed: "This thief is terrifying! Either he's trying to hide in your room and take it after you leave, or he's trying to drag you and your second brother into this mess. His ability to muddy the waters is truly amazing!"
Su Manao stared intently at the rubber band in Su Tong's hand. Suddenly, both of them blurted out—
"This is a rubber band made of agate!"
"This rubber band is made of Sumanao!"
Upon closer inspection, one could tell that the rubber band in Su Tong's hand was the most expensive kind sold at the supply and marketing cooperative; it was darker in color, thicker, and more resilient than ordinary rubber bands.
At home, only Su Manao uses this kind of rubber band, because the rubber bands she has are all "found".
Ordinary rubber bands no longer meet Su Manao's standards.
"Did Su Manao steal your money and then hide it in my room?"
Su Ruyi rested her chin on her hand, "So you even know how to frame Su Jin?"
"This little girl is something else!"
Su Tong laughed, "But you're even more amazing! Even rats risked their lives to help you!"
"Haha! I'm clearly trying to help you!"
After Su Ruyi finished speaking, a plan suddenly came to her mind.
She told Su Tong to keep the money safe, saying that she would be moving out tomorrow and that Su Tong should move out with her.
Su Tong agreed, rolled up the money with the rubber band, and put it in his pocket: "I won't take it out to sleep."
Su Ruyi returned to the storage room, bolted the door, and went directly into the space.
Thinking back to her past life, when she gave even the agate beads to protect this little sister, she wished she could rush back to that past life and beat up that brainless version of herself.
Thankfully, in this life, that little rascal Su Manao can no longer fool her!
She deftly took a stack of paper for wrapping Chinese medicine from the clinic on the first floor, counted 29 sheets, cut them into pieces the size of a 10,000-yuan note, and took them out.
This paper is grayish-yellow, with a texture like straw paper and a color like joss paper. It doesn't look like something from the living world. Su Ruyi was startled when she first saw this paper for wrapping medicine yesterday.
Taking out the rubber band she had just seized, she bundled the 29 pieces of yellow paper into a roll using the same method Su Manao had used, and placed it back on the roof beam while standing on a stool.
After finishing this, she almost burst out laughing—how terrified Su Manao would be if she found out her money had turned into yellow paper?
