The eyes of everyone in the room were glued to Li Qiu, and Li Qiu was so frightened that he involuntarily took a step back.
"I'm just telling you, why are there so many good things missing from my house? It turns out that you, a thief, stole them!"
Mrs. Liu patted the edge of the kang, stared at the old eyes, and cursed the beginning of autumn.
"Little bitch, did you steal all the good things and move them to Gu Laizi? Why are you so cruel! Our old Zhang family has raised you for so many years, so I am sorry for you this time, just this time. We were not cruel enough to sell you, and you have been holding a grudge until now. You are just an ignorant white-eyed wolf! Hand over your things quickly, or we will beat you to death!"
It's really baffling.
Li Qiu was confused: "Does anyone in your family talk to you? What did I get?"
She knew that the Zhang family would continue to cause trouble.
But she didn't have a nightmare last night.
Li Qiu calmed down. It was a good thing that she didn't have nightmares, which meant that she would not be in danger today.
But what if God takes away the grace given to her?
Beginning of autumn became restless again.
Her restlessness caught the attention of the Zhang family, who thought she had really stolen something.
"Li Qiu," Zhang You pretended to be kind and patiently advised Li Qiu, "I understand that you have never seen these good things before, and you are greedy and want to hide them and bring them to Gu Changan's house for your own use. This is human nature, saint. As the saying goes, people are not grass and trees, how can they have no faults? But there is no greater good in correcting one's faults."
"As long as you hand over the things, no one will blame you, but if you keep hiding them..."
He changed the topic and his smile turned cold.
"What you took is not a small amount. If I report it to the official, your fate will be worse than being sold into a brothel."
Li Qiu only panicked for a short while and then felt relieved.
She didn't do anything, the Zhang family just wanted to throw dirty water on her.
Report to the official, report to the official, she Yuan Liqiu is not afraid of the shadow, she does not believe it, the world is so big, there is no place for her to reason!
"Third brother is right, go report it to the official!"
Li Qiu's attitude was very resolute, and he pulled Zhang You's sleeve and walked out.
"We borrowed a big car and rushed to the county in the dark. We stayed at the gate of the county government office. Early tomorrow morning, as soon as the county government office opens, we will go to Mr. Qingtian and have a good talk."
"Wait a minute," Zhang Laowen coughed a few times, "Liqiu, are you really not the one who took this thing?"
Li Qiu sneered: "I still don't know what riddles you and your family are playing. What exactly is missing from the house? You refused to tell me. As soon as I walked in, you blamed me. Could it be that you regret it?" You don’t want to give me a dowry, so you stage this show on purpose, right?”
"Still..." Li Qiu laughed mockingly, "Still, for a plate of bacon and a bowl of egg custard, dad, you have to hold a grudge and have to find a reason to harm me, right?"
She shouted loudly, silencing the Zhang family.
"Don't talk about these things, eggs and bacon, now the gold is gone! Gold!"
Gold? Where is the gold in the Zhang family?
Mrs. Liu is so stingy, and Zhang Laowen is quite good at making money. Maybe Mr. Liu has actually saved some gold over the years.
No wonder the whole family is anxious. If the gold is lost, it must be reported to the official.
"Let's report it to the official." Li Qiu became more determined to report to the official. "Lost gold is not a trivial matter. It's better to ask someone from the yamen to check it out, so that the family members can avoid suspicion."
"Yes, yes, report it to the official," Chen Yunfang echoed repeatedly, "It's not just gold that's missing at home. Third child, what else is written on the list sent by the Huang family? Ginseng, right? That thing is very valuable. Bah! A thief with a bad heart dares to steal into our old Zhang's house. If you catch him, you must cut off his hand!"
Li Qiu figured it out.
After a long time of commotion, something sent by the Huang family was lost.
Mother Hu came in the morning. She saw her off at the beginning of autumn and never stepped into the Zhang family's door. She came back from Aunt Sun's house after it was dark. The only ones in the house during this time were Liu and Yu Cuihua. Oh, by the way, Chen Yunfang also came once.
If the things were not stolen by outsiders, then they could only be taken by the Liu family.
The beginning of autumn is the first time to focus on green flowers.
Just now, all these people wanted to eat her, but Yu Cuihua was the only one who remained silent. This was not in line with Yu Cuihua's character.
Tsk tsk, I didn’t expect Yu Cuihua to be so courageous and steal so many things at once. If she was found out, Zhang Dalang would not only beat her to death, but also divorce her back to her parents’ home.
"Why are you reporting to the official? We are all a family," Mrs. Liu whispered, "Who took it? If you hand it over now, the family will not pursue it. What are the lost things? A pair of gold bracelets. Bar?"
"It's not just that!" Chen Yunfang shouted loudly, "Third brother, take out that list and check it again to see what else there is! I just remembered that there is a ginseng."
Zhang You corrected her gently: "Second sister-in-law, it's not ginseng, it's a pack of ginseng slices."
He took out a piece of red and gold paper from his sleeve, thought for a while, and handed the paper to Li Qiu: "You come and read it."
Li Qiu could tell at a glance that Zhang You had evil intentions. He probably still didn't believe that she could read and write, so he wanted to test her.
She took the paper without hesitation and scanned it from beginning to end.
Oh, the Huang family gave me a lot of things.
It's a pity that they were all fed to a family of beasts.
Mr. Huang's money was wasted.
"Second brother and third brother, bring over the gifts from the Huang family and I will read them. You are all right."
"No, it's too troublesome." Zhang Erga was unwilling to move. "If it's really our family who took it, I'll give you an idea. Let's keep the box in the wing tonight and let's all go to bed early. The one who stole it People, just return the things and let’s pretend this never happened.”
Zhang Erga's eyes kept looking at Mrs. Liu's face, and even Zhang You glanced at Mrs. Liu from time to time.
The mother-in-law is more like a son.
Could it be that Mr. Liu stole it?
Li Qiu lowered his head and thought for a moment. In the afternoon, only Liu and Yu Cuihua were at home. Chen Yunfang's arrival was too short. Judging from Chen Yunfang's behavior, it was impossible for Chen Yunfang to steal it, so there were only Liu and Yu Cuihua.
Mrs. Liu is stingy to the point of being outrageous. She covets the gifts sent by the Huang family, and it is impossible to say that she secretly hides one or two.
After all, the Huang family gives gifts on a per-head basis, so the gift is worthy of everyone.
Maybe Mrs. Liu saw that the Huang family prepared better gifts for others, so she took them away.
The Zhang family unanimously agreed to Zhang Erga's proposal, especially Liu and Yu Cuihua who echoed the loudest.
Li Qiu knew for sure that these two people were thieves!
The boxes and cages were returned to the wing, and everyone went back to their rooms.
Liqiu stopped Yu Cuihua: "Sister-in-law, the kitchen hasn't been cleaned up yet. Please help me."
Yu Cuihua waved her hands impatiently: "You can't clean it up yourself? Don't bother me. I've been tired for a day and I'm going to rest."
"Sister-in-law, are you sure you don't want to help me?" Li Qiu blinked at her, "If sister-in-law doesn't come, don't regret it in the future."
