Chapter 218 Clearing Suspicion
Zhong Chengyi chuckled dryly, "Well, that's quite a lot..."
After all, he only stayed here for half an hour, but his mother had been selling things here all afternoon!
The bag containing the money was bulging.
Zhang Chunxue ignored him.
Song Xingzhi frowned and asked, "What, you want to borrow money?"
"No, no!" Zhong Chengyi quickly interjected, "I... I wanted to ask my mom something..."
Zhang Chunxue scoffed, "Oh, what's so important that you, Zhong Chengyi, had to come all the way to the county town to find me?"
However, she had a pretty good idea of what was going on. The reason Zhong Chengyi was in such a hurry to find her was probably because he realized that she was the one who had dug up the treasure he had buried!
However, Zhang Chunxue remained remarkably calm.
Zhong Chengyi had no evidence of this, and as long as she didn't admit it, there was nothing he could do about it.
Zhong Chengyi glanced at Song Xingzhi riding his bicycle, then chuckled awkwardly, "It's something important... Mom, I'll talk to you about it privately later."
"Oh?" Zhang Chunxue's voice remained calm. "You're not thinking of mooching a meal at my house, are you?"
Zhong Chengyi choked.
"Of course not..."
Seeing Zhang Chunxue's composed demeanor, he felt a little uneasy.
If Zhang Chunxue really did take that box of things, he even came to my door and deliberately asked to talk to me alone... Zhang Chunxue would definitely have some emotional fluctuations, right?
But right now, Zhang Chunxue really seems to know nothing at all.
Could it be that this matter really has nothing to do with his mother?
“Mom…you…” he hesitated, unable to speak.
Zhang Chunxue was getting impatient: "What is it?! Just say it! Get to the point! Stop dawdling, it's so annoying!"
Zhong Chengyi said somewhat aggrievedly, "I didn't mean to..."
Zhang Chunxue snorted coldly: "What is it? Is it something you want to talk to me about alone?"
"Then just tell me! Anyway, I won't hide anything from Xingzhi."
Zhong Chengyi opened his mouth.
His mother is being completely wrong in taking precautions against Song Xingzhi.
However, after thinking for a moment, he tentatively began, "Mom, I buried something in Dad's grave before..."
In the darkness, Song Xingzhi, riding a bicycle, squinted.
Is Zhong Chengyi... starting to doubt his sister Chunxue?
Upon hearing this, Zhang Chunxue immediately stopped the tricycle, her face filled with shock: "What did you say?"
Her voice immediately turned angry: "Zhong Chengyi! Are you out of your mind? What are you burying in your father's grave?"
"You actually dug up your father's grave?"
Are you even human?
Zhong Chengyi didn't expect Zhang Chunxue to scold him without saying a word. Seeing that Zhang Chunxue got off the tricycle, clearly wanting to find something on the roadside to beat him up, Zhong Chengyi quickly jumped off his bicycle and stopped Zhang Chunxue.
"Mom! Calm down! Calm down! Don't go into the grass! There might be poisonous insects..."
He glanced at Song Xingzhi, who had already stopped his bicycle, pulled Zhang Chunxue aside, and lowered his voice: "Mom, I buried some things that can't be left outside..."
Judging from Zhang Chunxue's reaction just now, Zhong Chengyi felt that this matter had nothing to do with his mother.
His mother didn't care what he buried; she was just angry that he had disturbed his father's grave.
Zhang Chunxue's voice rose: "You shouldn't touch your father's grave no matter what you do..."
Zhong Chengyi panicked: "Mom! Keep your voice down!"
He glanced at Song Xingzhi again and saw that Song Xingzhi was hesitant but did not come over. He thought to himself that Song Xingzhi was quite sensible.
His voice was even lower: "Mom? You really didn't touch anything in Dad's grave?"
Zhang Chunxue glanced at him, then turned and walked towards the roadside.
Seeing that Zhang Chunxue was clearly about to find something to hit him with, he quickly pulled her back: "Mom! Mom, calm down!"
Zhang Chunxue said she was very calm.
She looked at Zhong Chengyi and said sternly, "Let's not talk about why you buried something in your father's grave. Tell me what it was."
Zhong Chengyi hesitated.
If his mother doesn't know about this, and this gets told to her, how can he possibly be okay?
However, it is clear that he will not get better unless he tells his mother.
Because Zhang Chunxue was clearly looking for something to hit him with again.
Zhong Chengyi felt a chill run down his spine and quickly pulled Zhang Chunxue aside for the third time, whispering, "It's...it's some things I secretly hid...they're all treasures!"
Zhang Chunxue immediately gasped: "Are you crazy?"
Her voice rose several decibels: "Are you looking for death?"
"If you want to die, your mother will grant your wish right now!"
When Zhong Chengyi saw Zhang Chunxue's gaze fall on the spot on the tricycle, he was startled and quickly reassured her.
"Mom! Don't worry, I haven't let anyone know..."
"There's no such thing as a secret that can't be kept hidden forever! You can't hide fire with paper!" Zhang Chunxue reached out and pinched Zhong Chengyi's arm hard.
She then became even more ruthless: "You've done such a heinous thing, and you might even implicate us!"
The more she talked, the angrier she became, and the harder she hit him: "I never agreed to you doing this kind of thing in the first place! You wouldn't listen! You wouldn't listen!"
Zhong Chengyi screamed and cried out as he was being pinched, but he dared not make a loud sound.
"Mom! I was wrong! I was wrong!"
Of course, he didn't think he was wrong.
Zhang Chunxue spoke again fiercely: "What? You think I dug up the things you buried in your father's grave?"
She said ominously, "If I really manage to steal them, I'll destroy them all immediately! I won't leave a single trace behind!"
Zhong Chengyi touched his aching arm, feeling somewhat helpless.
He knew it!
He knew that if it was really her mother who dug it up, then this box of things was definitely doomed!
Seeing Zhong Chengyi's expression, Zhang Chunxue knew that his suspicions about her had completely dissipated, so she pinched him a few more times.
Consider it revenge for my past life.
"Get out of here if you have nothing to say!" Zhang Chunxue threatened fiercely. "If this gets out and the police come after me, I'll say I know nothing about it!"
She snorted and sat back down on the tricycle.
Zhong Chengyi chuckled dryly twice more: "Okay, okay..."
He sat back in the back seat of Song Xingzhi's car, his face full of flattery: "Dad, could you please give me another ride?"
