Chapter 22



"Tsk tsk, who knows whether you really lost the money or just pretended to lose it? Maybe you didn't lose any money at all, and you just wanted to trick us when Yunbo went to your house." Su Maner said lightly, with a mocking tone.

"You..." Li Cuihua wanted to refute, but Su Maner snorted and said, "After all, you are so shameless. You have done many shameless things before."

When the villagers at the gate of the courtyard heard this, they all nodded.

Yes, Li Cuihua had even stolen Grandma Chi's money before. Such a shameless person might really cheat Chi Yunchen and the others. Maybe the truth is just as Su Maner said.

The villagers watching at the door seemed to believe Su Maner. Li Cuihua gritted her teeth, feeling angry and furious.

She glared at Su Maner fiercely and said angrily, "Don't throw dirty water on me. I really lost money this time! I lost fifty yuan! Fifty yuan! I saved it for a long time, but it was all stolen from me. Not a penny is left!"

Thinking about her money being gone, Li Cuihua was so angry that her eyes were about to turn crooked.

"Mom, don't be angry. Chi Yunbo must pay back the money today!" Dai Qiaoqiao walked up to her mother-in-law and patted her back, comforting her.

After comforting him, she turned to look at Chi Yunchen and said to him, "Fifty yuan is not a small amount, so we can't just let it go. Chi Yunchen, you must compensate us. I think you should give us all the pheasants, rabbits, and mushrooms you have, and give us another forty yuan, and we can put this matter behind us."

Look at what she said, it seems like she has done Chi Yunchen some great favor.

Su Maner sneered.

Those mushrooms and pheasants and rabbits are worth at least 50 bucks!

Dai Qiaoqiao not only wanted their pheasants, rabbits and mushrooms, but she also asked for 40 yuan! She really asked for too much!

Su Maner glanced at Dai Qiaoqiao coldly and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, are you asleep?"

Dai Qiaoqiao: “…”

She was a little confused. What did Su Maner mean?

Su Maner curled her lips and said, "If you weren't asleep, how come you were dreaming? Look at what you just said, wasn't it just a dream?"

Dai Qiaoqiao: ! !

It seemed that Su Maner was scolding her in a roundabout way, scolding her for daydreaming!

She looked extremely unhappy and scolded, "Who is talking to you in your sleep? You stole our money, shouldn't you pay for it? Those mushrooms and pheasants..."

"Let's not talk about the fact that we Yunbo didn't steal. Even if he did, you are asking for so much. Don't you think you are asking for too much? Oh, that's right. People like you don't know what it means to ask for too much. You only know how to ask for money and how to cheat us more." Su Maner interrupted Dai Qiaoqiao and glared at her with extremely sarcastic eyes.

"you!"

"Dai Qiaoqiao, it's really too much for you to ask for so much. Those mushrooms, pheasants and rabbits are worth at least 50 yuan according to the market price. You took their things and then asked them to compensate you for 40 yuan, which adds up to more than 90 yuan. And your mother-in-law only lost 50 yuan. You lost 50 yuan but you are asking for 90 yuan. Aren't you asking for too much?" A villager who couldn't stand it said kindly.

After this was said, a villager echoed: "Yes, they are very close relatives. It is really too much for you to cheat them of their money like this."

"Besides, he didn't steal anything. I think Chi Yunbo is an honest man. He would never steal anything."

“I don’t believe Chi Yunbo would steal either. Last time I walked in front of him, I dropped 8 yuan, and he picked it up from behind and gave it back to me immediately. How could someone who would immediately return the money he picked up steal money? Maybe Li Cuihua didn’t lose any money at all, she’s just cheating!” A woman in her fifties remembered that Chi Yunbo had picked up her money and returned it to her, so she immediately spoke up for Chi Yunbo.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes on Li Cuihua changed.

Obviously turned into sarcasm and contempt.

This Li Cuihua is really a dog that can't change its nature. She has bullied Chi Yunchen's family again and again! It's really unlucky for Chi Yunchen to have such a relative!

"You...you shut up!" Li Cuihua was so angry that her chest rose and fell violently. She glared at the villagers and said with her eyes wide open: "I put my money under the pillow and there is not a penny left. If this is not stolen, then what is it? Today, Chi Yunbo came to my house to take back his bowl. There was no one at home at that time, only Jiayu and Jiaheng. He must have seen that they were young, and when they were not paying attention, he ran into my room to steal things! Chi Yunbo is just pretending in front of you! He pretends to be kind and weak. But in fact, he is just a conscienceless thief, he is just a thief!"

Being insulted and scolded by Li Cuihua, Chi Yunbo, whose already poor health was, became so angry that he was about to fall down.

Seeing this, Chi Yunchen quickly put down his backpack and the things in his hands and went forward to support him: "Don't be afraid, you didn't steal anything, we will clear your name."

Chi Yunchen comforted him, and his comfort made Chi Yunbo look a little better.

Dai Qiaoqiao looked at all the good things placed on the ground, her eyes flashed, and she quickly walked towards those things.

But Su Maner stood in front of her.

Su Maner glanced at her indifferently: "Why, do you want to steal something?"

Dai Qiaoqiao gritted her teeth.

She stared at Su Maner who was standing in front of her and said unhappily, "What do you mean by robbing? If you don't want to give these things to me, then pay me back! Anyway, our family lost the money, so you must pay me back!"

"Haha!" Su Maner laughed, "You guys lost your money and came to our house to ask for it. Do you think we owe you money?"

"If I don't ask you, who else should I ask? At that time, only that short-lived guy Chi Yunbo had been to our house!" Dai Qiaoqiao said hurriedly.

The three words "short-lived ghost" made Su Maner's face darken instantly.

Su Maner stared at Dai Qiaoqiao without blinking, and after two seconds of silence, she said, "You keep cursing others for a short life, be careful that the curse will come true on yourself!"

"you……"

"God sees some things. For a wicked person like you, your curse will never come true on others. God will only punish you and make you fulfill the curse yourself!" Su Maner said sarcastically again. Every word was like a stone, hitting Dai Qiaoqiao, Li Cuihua and Sun Simo. After all, the two of them often bullied Chi Yunchen's family and often took Chi Yunchen's things for themselves.

Many villagers at the gate are Buddhists.

So some villagers looked at Dai Qiaoqiao and said, "Dai Qiaoqiao, you should do some good deeds. How can you have the heart to curse a child like that?"

"Yes, you are also a mother, why don't you have any compassion?"

"Hey, be careful that the curse will come true on your child. If it comes true on your child, you will cry."

These words would make Dai Qiaoqiao extremely angry.

Especially since some people said that the curse would be fulfilled on her child.

She stared at the man with eyes wide open and roared, "Stop talking nonsense! My child wants to live a hundred years! He wants to live to be a hundred years old!"

The villagers curled their lips. With a wicked mother like you, maybe the retribution will really come to your children. It is probably impossible to live a hundred years.

Li Cuihua knew that they couldn't waste any more time here. The longer they wasted time, the more disadvantageous it would be for them.

Su Maner was so sharp-tongued that she coaxed the villagers at the door into a frenzy and made them all speak for her.

If the villagers helped her in a while, it would be almost impossible for them to get the money back.

Therefore, we must resolve this matter quickly and get the money and leave as soon as possible!

She rushed towards the mushrooms, pheasants and rabbits with a ferocious look: "I won't waste my words on you! I'm going to take all these things away! These things can be regarded as the exchange for the fifty yuan, and I won't ask you for extra money!"

These rabbits and pheasants are both good stuff. They are more expensive than pork and can fetch a lot of money if sold in town.

Mushrooms are also excellent game. They are very expensive in summer and autumn, the same price as pork. Now it is winter, and in this winter when mushrooms are not produced at all, they are a rare commodity. If this rare commodity is sold in the town, it will definitely be much more expensive than pork.

So if these things are sold, they can fetch at least 60 yuan.

They lost 50 yuan and got back 60 yuan in the end, so they made a profit in the end!

Seeing Li Cuihua rushing towards the game with determination, Chi Yunchen's eyes darkened.

He quickly stepped forward, stopped Li Cuihua and said, "Get lost! If you want to go wild, go back to your own home and stop making trouble here!"

Chi Yunchen was very imposing, and his cold and stern look immediately frightened Li Cuihua.

Li Cuihua's breathing quickened, her pupils shrank, and she looked at Chi Yunchen with some fear in her eyes.

Sometimes she was really afraid of this nephew. When this nephew got angry, he was like a cold-faced Yanluo, which was particularly frightening.

but……

She, Li Cuihua, also knows how to deal with him!

She gritted her teeth, sat on the ground, slapped her thighs and howled: "Oh my God, this is bullying. How could my nephew and his family bully an old woman like this? I have saved money for so long with great effort, but it was stolen by that heartless Chi Yunbo. How could these heartless people have the heart to steal money from an old woman like me? Oh my God, please open your eyes and look at these heartless bastards!"

The villagers at the door frowned as they watched Li Cuihua acting funny.

This Li Cuihua is really a shrew! No, she is even more shrewish than a shrew. They all felt bad for Chi Yunchen when they met such a difficult person.

Chi Yunchen's face was tense, and his hands were clenched into fists.

He was trying hard to restrain himself from hitting anyone!

He glanced at Li Cuihua and said coldly, "This is the same trick again? Do you think you can control me with this trick?! Have you forgotten what Grandma Qin and the others said yesterday?!"

Li Cuihua: “…”

She immediately remembered what Qin Sufang said to the villagers at the gate of the courtyard yesterday.

Qin Sufang said that if she makes trouble again in the future, she can let Chi Yunchen kick her out. After kicking her out, no one in the village will say that Chi Yunchen’s beating was inappropriate, nor will they say that Chi Yunchen, as a nephew, is committing a crime of insubordination.

Chi Yunchen looks so bad now, is he going to hit her?

Is he going to kick her out?

She frowned and gritted her teeth, "What's the matter? You really want to hit me! Chi Yunchen, you conscienceless thing, if you dare to hit me, I will never let you go!"

After a pause, he howled again: "My money was obviously stolen by you, but you just won't admit it!"

Pointing in the direction of Chi's grandmother, he said, "Today, Mom went to Butcher Li and bought two kilograms of meat. People who haven't bought meat for hundreds of years are suddenly buying meat. They must have used my money to buy it! You are too much. You stole my money to buy meat!"

"Cuihua, don't talk nonsense! The money was given to me by Yunchen! Yunchen thought that Maner liked to eat meat, so he gave me some money this morning to buy meat. The money is not yours, don't accuse me wrongly!" Grandma Chi was talking busily while leaning on her crutches. She felt very uncomfortable thinking about her grandson being wronged.

"Who is talking nonsense! Why didn't you buy meat yesterday? Why did you buy it today? It's obvious that you bought the meat because you stole the money. You didn't steal the money, you just didn't have the money to buy it!" Li Cuihua roared viciously, and she was certain that Chi Yunbo had stolen the money.

Chi Yunchen's eyes were cold. He stared at Li Cuihua and asked word by word: "You lost money, right? What is the denomination of the money you lost?!"

Li Cuihua didn't quite understand why Chi Yunchen asked her this question.

But she glanced at Chi Yunchen and replied, "Four ten-dollar bills, and five two-dollar bills."

"Really? But the money I gave grandma was five yuan a piece!" Chi Yunchen said with a gloomy face. After that, he turned his head and looked at a villager at the gate of the courtyard: "Butcher Li happens to be here too. I think Butcher Li may still remember the denomination of the money my grandma gave when she bought meat?"

Butcher Li was a middle-aged man in his forties, tall and strong, with a rough and tough face.

He listened to Chi Yunchen's words and said hurriedly, "I remember that your grandmother gave me a one-dollar bill. I still have that money in my pocket. If anyone doesn't believe me, I'll take it out and show it to you."

As he said this, he took out a wad of money from his pocket.

The money was all in small change, and the largest denomination was only one dollar.

Butcher Li's words convinced the villagers that Chi Yunbo did not steal money. Li Cuihua was just making up a false accusation.

"Did you hear that? My grandma didn't use your money to buy meat! What else do you have to say now?!" Chi Yunchen's voice became a few degrees colder, and he asked word by word.

Li Cuihua's breathing was slightly sluggish.

She thought the money the old woman used to buy meat was from her family, but now it seems that it is not the case?

She was startled, thought for two seconds and said, "You stole the money anyway! Maybe you didn't use the money to buy things today, but maybe you will go to town to spend the money tomorrow, you..."

"Come on, stop wasting time here. Auntie, we are talking to you for so long because we are relatives, otherwise, we would have kicked you out long ago!"

Su Maner suddenly spoke in an extremely cold voice.

After she finished speaking, she snorted and continued, "Your money may really be lost, and I sympathize with you. However, that money was not stolen by Xiaobo, so you can't blame Xiaobo!"

"If he didn't steal it, then who stole it? My money doesn't have legs, it can't run away by itself!"

"Haha, have you forgotten that there's one more person in your family now?" Su Maner smiled nonchalantly, raised her eyebrows, and her tone became a little casual: "This morning when Yunchen and I went up the mountain, Hu Yujiao caught up with us and wanted to borrow money from Yunchen. But Yunchen didn't lend her money at that time. If she didn't get the money from Yunchen, she would definitely think of other ways. I guess she must have set her sights on you. Your money should be with her now."
