Chapter 22 Poor Child
"What?"
Aunt Yanhong didn't take it seriously at first, because her family didn't have any gold bracelets.
etc!
Her eyes fell on the coffin. She remembered that the old lady was wearing a bracelet on her wrist. The old lady had three sons and four daughters, and the bracelet was inseparable. Everyone discussed that since the old lady had worn this thing all her life, let her take it away.
Is this not what she thought?
Her face froze and her scalp went numb.
Trembling, he walked over and took a peek inside the coffin. He didn't dare look at the old woman's face because the sleeves of her shroud were too wide to cover her wrists.
Aunt Yanhong plucked up her courage and lifted the old lady's sleeve to take a look.
Good job!
The bracelet was indeed missing!
When people are extremely speechless, they really want to laugh.
Aunt Yanhong laughed angrily, that bastard!
Song Shuyan was confused when he saw her actions. Why was Aunt Yanhong acting so weird?
She couldn't figure it out.
Aunt Yanhong was afraid of scaring her, so she didn't say much. She just said she understood and let her go back to her seat.
Song Shuyan went back and sat down, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind while he was eating.
Oh my god!
Is this not what she thought?
Could it be that the gold bracelet was worn by the old lady when she was alive?
She felt a chill and patted her chest. Fortunately, she didn't even touch it.
Soon, she heard the child's loud cry and the sound of Aunt Yanhong beating and scolding the child.
"Tell me! Who did you give it to?"
The child was stubborn and refused to speak, "I didn't do that, you are wronging me!"
Other adults stepped forward to persuade and stop Aunt Yanhong from hitting the child. Aunt Yanhong was agile and pulled the child out from behind the umbrella.
"Don't stop me! Do you know what he did?"
"He took the bracelet off the old lady's hand and I don't know who he gave it to!" Aunt Yanhong didn't have the idea that family disgrace should not be made public.
Other adults: “……?”!!
This kid, ahem, is a talent.
He deserves a beating.
Aunt Yanhong broke two sticks, but the child still denied doing anything.
Some uncles and aunts were shaken, "Yanhong, could it be that you wronged the child?"
The old lady's children went to check if the gold bracelet on her wrist was still there.
"It's really gone!" exclaimed the old lady's eldest daughter.
"Could it be that my sister-in-law is crying thief?" The old lady's second daughter said sarcastically.
As soon as these words were spoken, the other sisters-in-law looked at Aunt Yanhong with distrust, and nodded, thinking that this was possible.
Aunt Yanhong was so angry that she was about to explode. "If I hadn't told you, you wouldn't have noticed the bracelet was gone! If I had taken it, would I have gone to such unnecessary trouble and added unnecessary details?"
She looked down at the child and hit him with the stick again, "Still being stubborn, aren't you?"
The child stiffened his neck and said, "I didn't take it! I didn't take it even if you beat me to death!"
Everyone who just thought that what Aunt Yanhong said made sense was shaken again. The child was beaten so badly, but he still insisted that he didn't take it. Could it be that Aunt Yanhong really wronged him?
"Auntie, even a tiger won't eat its own cubs, how can you even wrongly accuse your own child?" The old lady's second daughter continued to add fuel to the fire.
Aunt Yanhong threw the stick away and snorted coldly, "You little brat won't cry until you see the coffin, right? And you're still being stubborn. I have witnesses!"
She had received a few years of education, and before she got married, her family taught her that if a child made a mistake, they would point it out on the spot and ask him to correct it.
When Song Shuyan heard what Aunt Yanhong said, he knew that she needed to stand up and testify against the child.
Facing the child's tearful eyes, she felt inexplicably guilty. The child must have guessed what she had said to his mother.
"Song Zhiqing, come here!"
Sure enough, Aunt Yanhong started calling her.
In fact, Song Shuyan didn't want to cooperate with her. She didn't expect that Aunt Yanhong would beat the child in front of so many people. Doesn't the child have any dignity?
But if she hadn't been nosy, this matter wouldn't have gotten out of hand today.
Perhaps when the old lady's coffin is buried, they will not notice that something is missing from her wrist.
Naturally, the child would not be beaten.
Song Shuyan was in a complicated mood.
She felt that she did nothing wrong. When she found out that the child had valuables in his hand and wanted to give them away casually, shouldn't she tell the child's parents?
But she didn't expect that Aunt Yanhong would beat the child so harshly and the child would be so stubborn.
This kid is still a stubborn person and refuses to admit it.
He moved quickly. When she refused to accept it, he quickly changed someone else and gave the bracelet away anyway.
She condemned the man who accepted the bracelet from the child, saying how immoral he was!
The child was beaten so badly, and you still don’t take out the things and return them to the owner.
This face is thicker than the city wall, right?
Who is it?
She glanced around and found nothing unusual.
She was short-sighted.
Doesn't this person feel disgusted?
He even dared to accept the bracelet that was taken off from the old lady’s funeral hall. Isn’t he afraid that the old lady will appear in his dreams at night?
"Why did you call Song Zhiqing over?"
"What does it have to do with Song Zhiqing?"
Everyone was puzzled.
The child hurriedly shouted, "Don't shout Song Zhiqing! I'll tell you, I'll tell you!"
The little brother burst into tears. Song Zhiqing was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen. He had thought of marrying her when he grew up. What if he embarrassed himself in front of her and she laughed at him?
Damn it, Song Zhiqing must have seen him crying after being beaten by his mother, right?
It's a huge embarrassment.
He was dejected, like an abandoned puppy, sniffing and whispering the truth.
"I traded the bracelet for candy."
"Who did you exchange it with? How many candies did you exchange? Where is he?"
Everyone wants to know.
Who is it?
It's so immoral. He watched the child being beaten for a long time and yet he didn't stand up and return the things to the owner.
The kid continued to sniff, "I traded two candies with Qin Erliuzi..."
Qin Erliuzi is a gangster in the village. He has no father and no mother. He was picked up by an old widow at the end of the village.
"Where is Qin Erliuzi?"
Everyone looked for him but couldn't find him.
The little brother added, "He left the village and said he wanted to exchange the bracelet for some medicine for his grandmother." He was not stupid, so why would he agree to exchange the bracelet for two candies from Qin Erliuzi? It was because Qin Erliuzi's grandmother was sick, and candies could not be exchanged for medicine, but the bracelet could be exchanged.
Adults: “…”
"This... bracelet may never be found again."
"Even if I sell Qin Erliuzi, I can't afford the compensation."
"That won't do! Find someone to chase him. How fast can Qin Erliuzi walk with his two legs?" The old lady's relatives felt distressed. Everyone knew that Qin Erliuzi's family was poor. If he exchanged the things for medicine, he wouldn't be able to buy a bracelet even if he sold them.
"Don't worry. Once the bracelet is at the pharmacy, explain the situation clearly to the pharmacy staff, pay for Qin Erliuzi's medicine, and let him work in the village to pay off his debt. Isn't that enough..."
Song Shuyan was surprised.
Aunt Yanhong hit the little brother with a stick again, "I'll teach you a lesson! Are you the reincarnation of a greedy ghost? Eat, eat, eat, that's all you know how to do!"
She held her chest, unable to breathe.
It's a sin.
Qin Fei also found out who Qin Erliuzi was and gossiped about him with Song Shuyan.
"What a poor child..."
