Zhang Hai and Lao Shi were like mute people swallowing bitter herbs, unable to express their suffering, saying, "We didn't take it."
"Confess now!"
Old Shi was almost in tears. "I really didn't take it. She found out as soon as I walked in the door."
"She lit sleeping powder in her room, and I passed out as soon as I went in," Chen Hai said with a mournful face.
Li Xiyue explained, "There was no smoke to repel mosquitoes, just mugwort to repel them."
When the police went to investigate, they indeed found some burnt mugwort leaves.
"Tell me the truth, where did you hide the money? Otherwise, you'll be in big trouble when we get back to the police station."
No matter how the police questioned them, the two insisted they hadn't taken it. In the end, the police had no choice but to take them back to the police station for questioning.
As night deepened, everyone dispersed.
"Dr. Li, thank you and Xiaobai for saving Lanlan."
The next morning, Sun Xia, along with her son and daughter-in-law, brought a thank-you gift to the clinic.
Xu Xiaolong and his wife received the news last night and rushed back overnight. Today, they specially brought gifts to express their gratitude.
They brought over a lot of things: a full basket of eggs, a five-pound pork, two pounds of brown sugar, a bolt of floral cloth, and a large rooster.
"Keep the rest of the things. Kill the rooster and feed it to Xiaobai. If it weren't for Xiaobai, my Lanlan might not have been found."
The rooster: You are so noble, you've accepted me as a thank you gift.
Xu Xiaolong and his wife pulled Lanlan aside and said, "Call him Uncle Dog. He's your savior, not your benefactor dog."
"Uncle Dog," Lanlan called out sweetly, reaching out to stroke the little white dog's head.
"Woof!" Little White responded without hesitation, and even licked the little girl's hand.
Sun Xia also slipped five yuan to Li Xiyue, saying, "Take this, it's just for Xiaobai, you can't refuse."
Li Xiyue, who hadn't originally planned to refuse, was speechless.
After Sun Xia's family left, the families of the other two families who had lost their children also came to express their gratitude.
Both families brought a lot of gifts, expressed their gratitude profusely, and even asked the child to recognize Xiaobai as his godfather.
Li Xiyue: "..."
noob:"……"
Finally, when the two families left, they each slipped Li Xiyue a few yuan.
Sun Xia's family and the other two families also brought gifts to Uncle Liu's house to thank Xu Guoqing. Xu Guoqing was overjoyed and became even more determined to join the army.
Looking at the pile of gifts and the money in his hand, Uncle Xu was more excited than ever before. He could hardly believe that these were things his unreliable grandson had fought for for him.
Pride, honor, glory.
Xu Guoqing had the illusion that his grandfather's gaze towards him had become much gentler.
Li Xiyue put her things away and the money into her spatial storage. She looked towards the direction of the commune, wondering how things were going with the police.
She wasn't just going to trap them; she was going to really screw them over.
They have to pay this thousand yuan, whether they want to or not.
Back in the county town, Chen Xiong was furious upon receiving the news. "Two useless good-for-nothings! They can't even handle a small matter. They even got themselves arrested by following someone. What use are they?"
"Brother Xiong, no matter how angry we are, we have to get him out of here. If the police trace it back to us, things will get really bad," Qian San'er said anxiously.
Chen Xiong was well aware of the implications of this situation. He wiped his face and said helplessly, "I'll go there myself and bring the person back."
"That girl said Chen Hai and his gang stole a thousand yuan from her," Qian San'er warned. "If they don't pay back the money, the police won't release them easily."
Chen Xiong was furious. "Two idiots, they got tricked by a little girl!"
Despite the criticism, we still have to clean up their messes; after all, he's their boss.
Chen Xiong, carrying a thousand yuan, stormed off to Chunfeng Commune in a fit of rage.
No sooner had he left than another person appeared.
Qian San'er didn't recognize him. "Who are you?"
