Chapter 4 Who Stole the Money?
Although Su Ningning was not a very kind person, she could not bear to see someone being so pitiful, so she immediately helped Aunt Xu to find the lost ten yuan.
According to her memory of the plot in the book, she asked Aunt Xu where she had walked. Aunt Xu immediately said, "I came back from the post office and walked along the river in our village. Ningning, you young people have good eyesight, please help me find it quickly. If I can't find the money, my child will die of illness! If the child dies, I will die too! Tell me, his father is working hard to defend the country, why is it so hard for me to raise a child in the countryside?"
Su Ningning's heart ached as well, and she immediately said, "Don't worry, Aunt Xu. I'll help you find it right away!"
The book mentioned that Su Lanlan was washing clothes in a basin on the bluestone slab under a willow tree. As soon as she squatted down, she picked up an envelope. When she opened it, she saw ten yuan inside, which she immediately put into her pocket.
Su Ningning took Aunt Xu straight to that place, but when they arrived, Su Lanlan had already arrived and was stuffing something into her pocket.
Aunt Xu was so anxious that her voice was almost tearful: "Lanlan, did you see an envelope while you were washing clothes just now? There was ten yuan in it! My name was written on the envelope. It was sent back by my husband from the army!"
Su Lanlan glanced at Su Ningning and sneered in her heart, but said softly, "Aunt Xu, I didn't see it. I just came here to wash clothes and didn't see anything. Please look somewhere else."
Su Ningning stared at her: "You really didn't see it?"
She had just clearly seen Su Lanlan stuffing something into her pocket. This fellow lied in broad daylight without even thinking. This Su Lanlan was not the heroine of a true, kind and beautiful woman at all. From Su Ningning's point of view, Su Lanlan was a worthless person at all!
Su Lanlan spoke softly, with her signature gentle smile: "Aunt Xu knows, I don't like to lie, I didn't see it then I didn't see it. Aunt Xu, are you in a hurry? How about I help you look for it?"
Aunt Xu's lips trembled and tears fell: "I have searched this road several times. Where did it go? My child is waiting for help..."
It was heartbreaking to see that. Several villagers who passed by also became anxious and sighed. But Su Lanlan never wavered. She believed that what she picked up was hers. As for how the person who lost the money felt upset, it was all his fault. It was your own fault for not putting it away properly.
Su Ningning couldn't bear to watch it any longer. She went up and grabbed Su Lanlan's arm and said, "I saw you stuffing something into your pocket just now! And you still say you didn't see it? Su Lanlan, are you still human? Aunt Xu is waiting for that money to save her child's life!"
She pulled out an envelope from Su Lanlan's pocket. Aunt Xu was stunned and rushed over desperately: "This is my money, the envelope my husband sent back, inside is the life-saving money for my child! Damn it, Su Lanlan! Everyone in our village says you are a good girl, kind and smart, it seems that we have misjudged you!"
Aunt Xu got her money back, but she was furious. No wonder she couldn't find the money anywhere. It turned out that someone had picked it up and hidden it in their pocket. She cried and looked for it so many times, but Su Lanlan just pretended not to see it? ! Is she still a human being?
The villagers who were watching pointed and talked, and each of them found it incredible.
Grandpa Zhao shook his head and said, "Why is the eldest granddaughter of the old Su family such a person? This is the first time that such a person has appeared in our Sujiatun. If money is found in this village, it is obvious that it is lost by people in our village. We see it everywhere. How can you not have any shame?"
Mrs. Li Manyi rolled her eyes at Su Lanlan: "I really didn't realize that the eldest granddaughter of the Su family is so mean. If Aunt Xu doesn't find the money today, and something happens to the child, it's a life at stake! Aunt Xu, you should go and see a doctor for the child right away. You must keep the money. Otherwise, if it's lost again and some bad guy picks it up, he might hide it and not return it to you!"
