"You can wash it if you are told. It's not too much to bury someone!" Lao Yangtou urged impatiently, and Mrs. Tan obediently washed her hands.
Then, Yang Ruoqing invited Teddy to come over and sniff. After sniffing, Yang Ruoqing looked around the east room again, pointed at a small cabinet used by Tan and Lao Yangtou to store clothes, and showed Teddy, and finally dismissed Teddy. go out.
Teddy ran around the yard and then headed straight for the front yard.
Everyone followed him to the front yard again, and saw Teddy running straight into Li Xiuxin's house.
Li Xiuxin's house is the only one among the houses in the front yard that is not locked.
Why isn't it locked?
Because of the things about Li Xiuxin in it, Lao Yangtou ordered Mrs. Liu to sort them out in the past few days, and planned to throw them all away.
"Oh, you can't go to that house. There are so many people in that house!" Ms. Liu suddenly exclaimed and was about to chase the dog away.
Yang Ruoqing quietly stretched out her foot, tripping Ms. Liu to the ground and causing her to chew on the mud.
"Fourth Aunt, are you okay? Why did you fall? Come on, let me help you up."
Yang Ruoqing hurried forward and supported Ms. Liu.
Mrs. Liu grinned from the fall and her hair was all scattered.
"Xiu'er left that house. His soul may not be gone yet. Get the dog out quickly. You can't go into that house!" Mrs. Liu yelled urgently, trying to break away from Yang Ruoqing's hand.
Yang Ruoqing's hand was like an iron cage, and Liu couldn't break free at all.
"Fourth Aunt, Xiu'er has finished her Qiqi and has been reincarnated long ago. Don't talk nonsense!" Yang Ruoqing said.
"It caused my grandma's sadness and hurt her body, but it's your responsibility." She added.
Mrs. Liu stopped talking, but was still struggling. Suddenly, someone beside her exclaimed: "Look, what's in Teddy's mouth?"
"Wooden box!"
Yang Ruoqing followed everyone's gaze and saw Teddy rushing out of the house with something tied in a baggage roll and running happily towards this side.
The bundle roll failed to cover the whole wooden box, and a corner was exposed. What else could it be if it wasn't a wooden box?
"Hahaha, I finally found it. Let me just say that the teddy tamed by my baby is amazing. It's really good!"
Yang Ruoqing let go of Liu's hand, ran to Teddy with a smile, reached out to take the package in its mouth, and touched its head.
"You're so awesome. I'll go back and make you some pickled elbows at noon!"
After receiving this promise from Yang Ruoqing, Teddy stood up in excitement, put his front paws on Yang Ruoqing's body, and stretched out his tongue to lick the palm of her hand.
Feeling numb and itchy, Yang Ruoqing giggled, and everyone returned to the east room and handed the wooden box to Mrs. Tan.
Mrs. Tan held her in her arms, and first reached out to touch the lock on the wooden box to make sure that the lock was intact. Mrs. Tan then picked up the wooden box and shook it a few times, listening to the sounds inside and weighing the weight. The old lady's heart finally fell.
"My coffin is finally back!" Ms. Tan held the wooden box in her arms, and the joy and excitement of finding it made her burst into tears.
"Mom, you don't have to open the lock to see if there is any money?" Yang Huaming asked.
Mr. Tan shook his head: "Don't worry, I know the quality of this sound well."
Ouch, amazing!
"Mom, you'd better open it and take a look. You'll feel more at ease." Yang Huazhong also said.
Yang Huaming continued: "Mom, don't worry, we don't care about your money. When you count the money, we will turn our backs and promise not to peek."
Mrs. Tan wiped the tears on her face: "My coffin has been stolen, and you still promise not to peek? It's hard to guard against thieves day and night. I still don't know who the thieves are. I can’t believe anyone who is so heartless and steals my money!”
Everyone looked at each other, embarrassed.
Yes, the wooden box was found, but who could the thief be?
"Qing'er, who do you think did this?" After being silent for a while, Old Yangtou quietly looked at all the people he suspected in the room, and then asked Yang Ruoqing.
Yang Ruoqing smiled and said, "The bundle belongs to Li's mother in Li Xiuxin's house, and the wooden box was also found in Li Xiuxin's house..."
"Oh my god, could it be Xiu'er's soul causing trouble?" Ms. Liu suddenly exclaimed.
"You're talking nonsense!" Old Yangtou shouted directly.
The bloodshot eyes were bulging, and Mrs. Liu was so frightened that she shrank her shoulders and hid behind Mrs. Sun.
"It can't be those tricks. Someone must have bad intentions. He stole the wooden box of my milk and hid it in Li Xiuxin's house." Yang Yongqing suddenly stood up and shouted.
"This person is very cunning. She knows that something like that happened in Li Xiuxin's house. Everyone thinks that house is unlucky, so usually no one goes there. It is the best place to hide the wooden box, and our old Yang Who can enter that house these days? Apart from my father, who is the head of the family, it is the fourth aunt!"
After Yang Yongqing finished speaking, he raised his hand and pointed directly at Mrs. Liu: "Fourth Aunt, honestly admit that you stole the wooden box?"
Madam Liu was so angry that she jumped out from behind Madam Sun and slapped Yang Yongqing on the head.
"What are you talking about, you talkative guy? I tidied up Li Xiuxin's house because of your grandma's instructions, so I'm not afraid of bad luck and work hard without complaining. I didn't expect that someone would frame me for it. It's unjust!" Mrs. Liu was so aggrieved that she started shouting.
Yes, what if the thing is found?
No one saw her stealing with their own eyes, so it would be fine if she refused to admit it!
"Fourth Aunt, please stop looking aggrieved here. You stole this wooden box."
The person who said this was none other than Yang Ruoqing.
"Girl Qing, I didn't offend you. Don't blame me. I can't afford it!" Ms. Liu said sternly.
Yang Ruoqing shook her head, "Fourth Aunt, I only speak based on facts. I have evidence."
"What evidence? Bring it out!" Ms. Liu said bravely.
Yang Ruoqing took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and gently opened it, revealing a piece of wood wrapped inside.
"I found this piece of wood on the broom in my fourth aunt's west room. Grandma, could you please bring the wooden box over," she added.
Mrs. Tan pricked up her ears and was listening so much that she temporarily forgot to curse.
When Yang Ruoqing made a request, the old lady handed the wooden box to Yang Ruoqing very simply.
Yang Ruoqing took it and lifted the lock, revealing a chipped place under the lock for everyone to see.
"The fourth aunt must have wanted to pick the lock and take away the money inside, but the lock failed and a piece of the outer skin was peeled off the wooden box," she said.
Yang Huazhong knew wood well. He came over to take a look and said, "I've seen this wound. It was made recently."
Yang Ruoqing nodded, "The fourth aunt couldn't pick the lock, and it wasn't easy to hide the wooden box in the west room, so she thought of Li Xiuxin's house. She must have wanted to move to that house first, and then quietly take her out of the village to the town after the storm had passed. Go find a locksmith to open the lock and get the money, then throw the wooden box away!"
