"Old Li, all our family's money is gone." Xu Ziying spoke hurriedly, with a faint cry in her voice. The more than 2,000 yuan saved by her family and the 1,000 yuan betrothal gift from the Shu family were all gone.
"How is that possible? Weren't they all still there yesterday?" Li Gang remembered that the money was still there when he took it out of the box yesterday.
Feeling a little uneasy, he dropped his pipe and hurried forward to search in the box, but he couldn't find a penny, and the bills were gone too. Reluctantly, he hurried to open the cabinet, and seeing the empty space inside, panic flashed in his eyes. He exclaimed in disbelief: "How is it possible?"
Xu Ziying, who was standing aside, looked at the empty cabinet and asked anxiously, "Where are my bacon, rice, flour, wine, and malted milk?" She pushed Li Gang aside and looked at all this in despair, feeling extremely sad.
Li Gang looked at the bacon, rice, flour and other good things in the cabinet, all of which disappeared, and he became even more panicked.
He hurriedly rubbed the wall, quickly removed two bricks, and looked at the hole in the wall, which was also empty at this time.
He staggered and fell to the ground. He had saved all these years, but it was useless. He was the only one in his family who knew where he hid the money. No one else should know about this.
He tried to think if there was any unusual movement last night, but there wasn't. He and his wife went to bed early and got up early, so they didn't hear any noise. I checked the locks of the boxes and cabinets, and there were no signs of them being pried open. This was strange. Where did all these things go?
"Nothing." Li Gang stood on the bedside, his eyes gloomy, wondering who came to steal the money at home.
"Old Xu, have you ever left your keys?" Li Gang saw that there were no signs of the lock having been pried open. Looking at Xu Ziying, he knew that she did not have the courage to transfer the property.
"No, the key has always been worn around my neck and has never left my body." Xu Ziying replied firmly. She even wore the key when she took a bath and slept.
"Old Li, let's call the police!" Xu Ziying felt heartbroken when she thought about the more than a thousand yuan in cash and expensive food that had been stolen.
"No, I'll check it myself privately. It seems that this thief is not an ordinary person. There will be no clues even if we call the police now." Li Gang's face looked even uglier. They should not have any contact with the police.
At the same time, I was also thinking about who I had offended over the years and who among them had this ability.
Xu Ziying saw Li Gang's livid face, and as if he remembered something, his face suddenly turned pale, and then he said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
"Mom and Dad, what happened?" Li Minglang heard his mother screaming in his room, and rushed to their room, where he saw his father frantically rummaging through things. But he found nothing. It seemed that something had happened that she didn't know about, and he was a little worried.
"Minglang, all our money and expensive food are missing. You have been at home these days. Have you seen any suspicious people around our house?" Li Gang saw his son and wanted to see if she had any clues.
"What? How much was stolen?" Li Minglang was also shocked. She knew that there was not much money and delicious food in the family.
"Everything was stolen. Think carefully about whether there was anything unusual last night." Xu Ziying also had a look of heartache and resentment on her face. If she knew who did it, she would never let that person go.
"No, I didn't find anything unusual. It couldn't be that my sister and brother-in-law took it away, right?" Li Minglang pondered for a while, and really didn't think of anything suspicious.
Xu Ziying thought, yes! There was something unusual in their home these few days. Not only that after Li Yanyan got married, Shu Chengzhi moved into their home, but the rice and flour were not free items. How did he take them away?
"It's not them." Li Gang said with certainty, because after the couple left, he opened the cabinet, looked at the money in the box, and saw money and gold bars hidden in the wall on one side. All these things were there at that time.
Whenever the couple wanted to leave the room, they would immediately lock the door. Both keys were with them, so how were the money and other things stolen? He has no suspects now, and it is difficult to find the thief, but what he does not lack is patience.
Mom, are you feeling better? "Xue Zhiqiang hurried back home, and the moment he walked into the courtyard, he saw his seriously ill mother, who was now in high spirits, scolding his eldest sister-in-law in the courtyard.
At this moment, he felt helpless. It seemed that his mother was getting impatient with urging him to go home and get married. He really didn't like Li Yinyin. That girl's eyes were too greedy. Ever since the last time he had an accident, her attitude towards him immediately changed.
"Zhi, Zhiqiang, come back." Zhang Fengying felt a little guilty and a little happy when she saw her son appear. After all, she was pretending to be seriously ill and was caught by her son. She hurriedly opened the door and welcomed him into the house.
"Mom, am I here at a wrong time?" Xue Zhiqiang said with a serious face.
"Hmph! It's you. You're already old enough to get married, so why don't you come back and get married earlier? If you tell your mother to come back earlier, would I, your mother, have to pretend to be sick?" Zhang Fengying straightened her back instantly.
"Mom, freedom of marriage is advocated now, and I want to find someone I like. Besides, you all know my situation. Li Yinyin doesn't like me because of my physical condition. I don't want to get married and live a noisy life every day." Xue Zhiqiang hurriedly expressed his attitude. He didn't want to live a chaotic life in the future.
"It's not Li Yinyin. She is now the granddaughter of the mayor of Kyoto." Zhang Fengying glanced at her son and said unhappily. She actually hoped that her daughter-in-law would be Shu Ruxue.
"What?" Xue Zhiqiang looked at his biological mother puzzledly. Hadn't she been urging him to marry Li Yinyin since a year ago?
"Brother, Li Yinyin, my name is Shu Ruxue now. She was just born in the hospital and her identity was swapped with someone else. She found her biological parents. Your current fiancée is the educated youth Yun Siying." Xue Zhigang said with a smile.
"No matter who it is, I'm not interested. Mom, please cancel this marriage!" Xue Zhiqiang put down his luggage and said while sitting on the bench.
"That educated youth is so pretty. It must be the style you like. You will definitely like it when you see it tomorrow." Zhang Fengying said affirmatively. She knew clearly that her son liked beautiful things.
"No." He picked up his luggage and went back to his room.
"Hey! You dead child, mom is doing this for your own good, why don't you appreciate it at all?" Zhang Fengying took off her own shoes and wanted to throw them at Xue Zhiqiang, but unfortunately she saw the door was closed, which made her very angry.
