When I feel sleepy, someone gives me a pillow. I can’t stop this luck!
Da Chun'er was very excited after hearing this: "Auntie, are you serious? Did Wang Cui'er come back after work yesterday?"
"How can this be false? I don't have anything to do. Why would I make up lies to lie to you? If you don't believe it, we can all go over and ask Wang Cuier!"
Seeing that Aunt Fang was so sure, Da Chun'er knew that there was no need for her to lie to her about this: "No need to go to Auntie, we are in a group. Now that something is lost, it's the grasshopper on the rope. I have it." Why don’t you trust aunt!”
"Then what should we do now? Should we tell our employer that the thing is missing? But there are only two of us in this house. Now that the thing is lost, will the employer think that we stole it and ask us to compensate? "
Second Aunt Fang had a grimace on her face and was very confused, fearing that if she couldn't explain the matter clearly, she would be blamed in the end!
"How about we just pretend we don't know about this?"
Da Chun'er didn't want to miss such a good opportunity: "Auntie, I think we still have to tell the landlady as soon as possible."
"But……"
"Auntie, think about it, if we keep this secret and wait for the boss lady to find out later, she will be the first to suspect us, then we will really jump into the Yellow River and we won't be able to clean up!"
Second Aunt Fang was still very hesitant: "But now that I have said it, don't you doubt us two too! What if we really have to pay for it ourselves? Besides... Besides, the boss lady may not be able to find out if she is right?" "
Da Chun'er was not too worried about being suspected. Fortunately, she had told the boss's wife earlier that there was something wrong with Wang Cuier. Now that Aunt Fang was still there to testify, it was absolutely impossible for the boss's wife to suspect the two of them. of.
It's just that Da Chun'er couldn't bring it up to Second Aunt Fang: "Auntie, don't worry, our landlady is a sensible person. As long as we tell everything that needs to be said, the boss will definitely get to the bottom of it."
As Da Chun'er spoke, she leaned into Aunt Fang's ear and muttered: "I think Wang Cui'er is the most suspicious, she might be the one who did it!"
"No way, what can she do with these knives of paper?"
"I don't know why she stole it, but if you think about it, Auntie, she has worked with others for several shifts, and she has to stay in this group. Why did she originally say she didn't want to be in this group? Besides, , she took leave at noon yesterday, and came back when she got off work. What was she going to do? How could it be such a coincidence that you saw her as an aunt yesterday, and you found her missing something early this morning? "
"According to what you say, we really have to tell our boss. We can't take the blame for Wang Cuier!"
The two of them discussed their words and hurried out of the house, heading straight to the paper money shop outside the gate.
As soon as Shen Luzhu opened the door of the shop and walked behind the counter to sit down, he saw Da Chun'er and another female worker opening the door and walking in one after the other.
"Sister-in-law Da Chun'er, what's going on?"
Da Chun'er closed the door tightly and ran to the counter in a few steps: "Mrs. Boss, something bad has happened. There was a thief in our workshop. A lot of the gold and silver paper that Aunt Fang and I took back yesterday were missing!" "
Shen Luzhu was surprised when he first heard that something was missing from the workshop, but then he turned around and thought about what Da Chun'er had come to talk to him about last time. He stabilized his thoughts and asked, "Sister-in-law Da Chun'er, are you sure? Don’t have any misunderstanding!”
"You can't be wrong, boss lady, when we got off work yesterday, we had at least eight or nine dozens of gold and silver paper left, but when we came this morning, there were only three dozen left in the house! And after we got off work yesterday, Wang Cuier even came back!"
Da Chun'er said, turning around and pulling Aunt Fang over: "If the boss lady doesn't believe it, you can ask Aunt Fang."
Second Aunt Fang nodded vigorously, as if Shen Luzhu didn't believe them: "Yes, yes, that's it!"
It's not that Shen Luzhu doesn't trust Da Chun'er and Aunt Fang, it's just that it's better to be cautious about this kind of thing, and doesn't want to label people as "thieves".
Seeing that Shen Luzhu had not expressed his position for a long time, Aunt Fang couldn't help but feel a little flustered: "Mrs. Boss, you have to believe
Us, this matter really has nothing to do with either of us! "
Shen Luzhu smiled reassuringly at Second Aunt Fang: "Auntie, I know about this. Auntie and Da Chuner's sister-in-law will go back first. Don't mention this matter to other people for the time being. Just treat it as such." It’s okay if Tsukuru doesn’t know about it.”
After the two left, Shen Luzhu didn't make any announcement about the matter. He only mentioned it to Chu Yi during the break. After discussing it, the young couple felt that it was not a trivial matter and it was better to be more cautious.
After discussing with Chu Yi, Shen Luzhu felt more confident. He concentrated on selling goods in the shop in the afternoon until Chu Ping came to deliver today's copper coins and burn paper, and took a seat in the shop.
After putting the paper money into the warehouse, Chu Ping and Chu Yi walked into the shop. As soon as they sat down, they heard their cousin ask the cousin behind them: "Have you told your cousin?"
Chu Yi shook his head: "Not yet, my grandpa was here just now."
When Chu Ping saw his cousin and his wife, they were chatting as if they didn't exist. He hurriedly tugged on Chu Yi's sleeves, trying to attract his cousin's attention. He was here, so if he had anything to say, he could just tell him!
"What do you want to tell me, cousin?"
"I wanted to ask you, after the workshop closed yesterday, did anyone come back to your yard?"
Chu Ping scratched his head: "This...I really didn't pay attention, what happened to my cousin, but what happened?"
"This matter has not been determined yet."
When Chu Ping heard what Chu Yi said, he became even more curious: "What on earth is going on? My cousin is just a sawed-off gourd. How can you say anything like this? It really kills me! Cousin, tell me Tell me?"
Shen Luzhu glanced at Chu Yi and didn't know how to tell Chu Ping. This was not a secret that couldn't be told, but firstly, the matter had not been finalized. Secondly, the workshop was opened in Chu Ping's yard, and she and Chu Yi both I'm afraid that my cousin's family will hear that something has been lost, and they will feel that it is their responsibility.
My grandpa's family has always been very good to the couple and helped them a lot. I really don't want Chu Ping's family to blame themselves too much.
"This morning, a female worker came to me and told me that the gold and silver paper they took back yesterday was short of a few dozen. She also said that she saw a female worker who came back after work, so your cousin and I thought I’m asking you to make sure that you don’t accuse someone unjustly.”
Chu Ping was really excited when he heard this: "What? I am really! You should have watched carefully. How could someone steal something under your nose? Cousin, wait for me, I will go back and ask my father now Auntie, let’s see if they’ve seen it!”
Chu Yi quickly held down Chu Ping who was about to run back: "I'm just afraid that you'll be like this, so I don't want to tell you!"
"That's right, opening a workshop in your home has already caused a lot of trouble. How can we ask you to watch over it for us every day? This matter has nothing to do with you. Don't blindly take responsibility for yourself."
Chu Ping scratched his head in embarrassment: "What about it? I'll go back and ask first?"
"Don't be in a hurry. Just mention it when you have nothing to do. Don't tell your uncle or aunt about missing something, so they don't have to worry about it."
They didn't want to let their cousins and aunts worry about this matter. They might as well let Chu Ping ask. If she and Chu Yi asked them themselves, it would be too serious, and it would easily arouse suspicion, which would be self-defeating. Beautiful.
During dinner that day, Chu Ping first asked his parents while chatting, but to his surprise, he was actually asked to ask them!
Suppressing his excitement, Chu Ping finally pretended to be nonchalant. He waited until dinner was over and hurriedly ran to the next door.
"Cousin, I asked, someone really came back, and my mother-in-law saw it!"
Shen Luzhu didn't expect the news to come out so soon: "Auntie, do you remember who it is?"
Chu Ping grinned and nodded: "My grandma said it was the one who left at noon yesterday. When my grandma saw her, the other female workers had already disappeared!"
The female workers in the workshop can ask for leave. If something suddenly happens at home or feels unwell, as long as they inform Shen Luzhu, they can end the day's work in advance and go about their own business, so from time to time Someone will take a leave of absence.
But it's such a coincidence that yesterday
Throughout the whole day, only one person asked Shen Luzhu for leave, and that person was Wang Cuier!
"Did Auntie say anything else?"
"My mother-in-law also said that when she saw her, the person came out of the first room and saw that she had two packages, one large and one small, in her hand. My mother-in-law went up and asked her a few words. Then The person said that he was in a hurry when he left at noon and forgot to take the package with food. He said that he took some things from his parents' house and only remembered it on the way back, but he didn't want to come back after returning home, so he carried the big and small bags. Enter the hospital and pick up the small package containing your own rice!"
The first house? Isn't that the same room where the paper cutting team usually works?
And that big package, if you look at it now, it's very likely that it's not something that your parents brought back, but the dozens of gold and silver papers.
However, Shen Luzhu really couldn't figure it out. Why would this man take the risk to steal the paper that he had not yet made into ingots?
It wasn't until Chu Ping went out to inquire about the news the next day and came back that he found out that Wang Cuier's natal family was actually from Wufang Village!
Only then did everyone understand that the secret behind Wang Cuier stealing the paper was that the Hu family didn't do what he wanted, but they didn't expect that the Hu family hadn't given up yet, and their methods were becoming more and more despicable.
Since that day, Wang Cui'er was cruel and stole five dozen gold and silver papers and bumped into Aunt Fang and Qian one after another. She has been living in a state of panic. She can't eat or sleep, and she can't even be interested in making money. .
But she didn't want to come to the Chu family's workshop, but she had to come. She had to stay in the Chu family's yard and always pay attention to what was going on outside, so that she could feel at ease.
Two days later, Wang Cuier saw that everything was calm and no one seemed to notice that the paper was missing, and then she slowly put her heart back in her stomach.
But before he could finally relax, the Hu family began to push for the next wave of gold and silver paper!
Wang Cuier is really in a dilemma now. On one side is the threat from the Hu family and the temptation of money, and on the other side is the fear every time she steals the paper!
Just like a gambler who is deeply attracted by the fantasy of getting rich overnight at the gambling table, Wang Cui seems to be addicted to this extremely risky but rewarding dangerous behavior, and seems to not steal anything every day. If you take some back, it's like losing money.
Just when Wang Cuier was sinking deeper and deeper and was completely unable to extricate herself, Shen Luzhu and Chu Yi, who had been observing her for a long time, were finally ready to fight back against the Hu family!
