"I don't care! Anyway, I want to marry Miss Wang. You can figure it out on your own! If I can't raise enough gift money, then I will have to be a bachelor for the rest of my life. By the way, parents, you have to hurry up if you want to raise the money. Miss Wang has other things to ask for. People, if you don't hurry up, my wife will be gone..." Zhou Xiaoer said angrily to his parents. He is the youngest son, he is very pampered by his parents, he is selfish and does not care about what his parents have. Difficulties, anyway, parents have to solve problems, and this time the gift money is the same.
Aunt Zhou and Uncle Zhou were miserable. Looking at their scoundrel-like little son, they felt that everything was miserable.
"Where are your parents going to give you change..." Aunt Zhou said in a long voice with a frown on her face. Suddenly, the figure of Liu Shichu just appeared in her mind, and she was heartbroken. Isn't the neighbor next door, Ms. Liu, rich?
Aunt Zhou's heart moved, and she wanted to borrow money from Liu Shichu to collect a betrothal gift for her son. However, when she thought about how she had just openly and secretly ridiculed herself for not even having the money to collect a betrothal gift for her son, she seemed to pour cold water on her. Liu Shichu looked like that, He obviously looks down on himself and mocks himself bitterly, so how could he be willing to lend money?
But when she thought that Liu Shichu was an orphan but could live freely without having to work, she felt jealous. Why wasn't she the rich one? It would be nice if Liu Shichu's money was his own...
Yes, it would be nice if Liu Shichu's money was his own. When Aunt Zhou thought of this, her heart suddenly became excited. That bitch refused to lend money, so why not just turn her money into her own?
So what can I do to turn her money into my own? Aunt Zhou recalled Liu Shichu's previous beating of the gangster, and shrank back, feeling a little scared.
But her younger son's urging and complaints finally turned Aunt Zhou's fear into greed. She thought, since she would definitely not be able to borrow money, she would just do it secretly.
Aunt Zhou's eyes turned cold, and she waved to her husband and youngest son, calling them over, and told them her plan.
"What? Stealing the money from that fierce girl next door? No, she beats people so hard!" When Zhou Xiaoer heard this, he didn't agree.
Aunt Zhou stared at him: "You don't want the gift money to marry a wife?"
"I want to..." Zhou Xiaoer blurted out, but in his heart he was a little worried about Liu Shichu.
In the end, Old Man Zhou sighed and said with a high-sounding tone: "We just had a temporary difficulty, so we secretly 'borrowed' some money from Miss Liu. When our family recovers, we can quietly return the money to her, and she will be fine by then." It's a loss, but since we have decided to 'borrow', we have to be more cautious and not let her find out, so we have to think of a good way..."
After all, Old Man Zhou was smarter than his wife and younger son. After knowing that Liu Shichu was good at skills, he asked Aunt Zhou to find a way to lure Liu Shichu out of the house during the day. Then the father and son took the opportunity to break open the door and go to her house to "borrow money."
The three of them discussed the plan and decided to implement it the next day. After all, Miss Wang couldn't wait long. If her parents agreed to someone else's proposal, their family's efforts would be in vain.
Sure enough, Aunt Zhou made an excuse the next day, saying that she saw the shopkeeper of "Gewu" looking for her in the alley, but she went back to the store because of something urgent, and asked Liu Shichu to quickly go to the "Gewu" store to find him.
Although Aunt Zhou kept saying that Liu Shichu was just sitting around doing nothing, she secretly stared at him for so long and actually knew that Liu Shichu was really selling wood carvings in the "Gewu" shop, so this time she used the "Gewu" shopkeeper as an excuse. , used a trick on Liu Shichu to lure the snake out of the hole.
Liu Shichu didn't believe Aunt Zhou's words at first, but she happened to finish a wood carving, so she thought it would be okay to show the work to the shopkeeper, so she left home naturally and went to "investigate things".
Aunt Zhou's plan was crude and superficial. Didn't she know that Liu Shichu would know that she was lying as soon as he went to the store and told the shopkeeper? Moreover, when Liu Shichu came home and found that his property had been stolen, she would definitely be the first to suspect her, but how could she dare to plot against Liu Shichu like this?
Isn't it because Liu Shichu had no evidence in this battle? Moreover, ordinary people did not dare to report to the government casually. Aunt Zhou's family thought that Liu Shichu was also the kind of person who feared officials as much as a tiger. They felt that she did not dare to go to the government because they dared to be so bold.
When Zhou Xiaoer and his father saw that Liu Shichu had really left, they took an ax and other tools and smashed the door and the lock, and entered Liu Shichu's house, while Aunt Zhou stayed outside.
After Zhou Xiaoer and Old Man Zhou went in, they rummaged around to find the silver that Liu Shichu had hidden. However, they rummaged through the house and found nothing valuable except a few copper coins.
"Dad! Have you found the silver?" Zhou Xiaoer asked impatiently. He couldn't find it for a long time, and his temper got worse.
"I haven't found it. This girl hid her money very carefully. Please help her find it. Don't miss the bottom of the bed or the cracks in the wall..." Mr. Zhou reminded his son.
"I've looked for it! There's no such thing at all. Didn't that bitch spend all her money? She's a prodigal!" Zhou Xiaoer angrily smashed everything in Liu Shichu's house.
Seeing the time passing by, they still didn't even see the shadow of the silver. Even Old Man Zhou was getting angry. After taking such a big risk, wouldn't it be a big loss if he didn't even find a tael of silver? But no matter how anxious he was, it was useless. If he didn't find it, he couldn't find it. Finally, at the urging of Aunt Zhou, they had to leave Liu Shichu's home in disappointment.
Of course they couldn't find anything. Liu Shichu didn't know how to keep money at home. She kept all her money in her own space. Only space was the safest. Didn't she avoid their plot this time?
When Liu Shichu returned home, she saw her broken lock. When she entered the house and found it in a mess, she immediately laughed angrily. Without saying a word, she went directly to the Yamen to file a lawsuit. She said simply: She suspected that it was the neighbor Aunt Zhou's family who did it, and the reason was the excuse Aunt Zhou made today.
So before the Zhou family could get angry and get nothing, they waited for the ferocious government officials.
"Official, official, what are you doing?" Old man Zhou asked stammering, while Aunt Zhou and Zhou Xiaoer were trembling with fear and couldn't even speak.
"Your neighbor Miss Liu's house was robbed. Now I suspect that you are the murderer. Come back to the Yamen with us now." The leading Yamen servant said with a sneer, and then he locked them up and took them away without allowing them to plead or plead.
"Miss Liu?" A pleasant male voice suddenly sounded in the ears of Liu Shichu, who was called to the court. She turned her head to look and smiled immediately: "Master Du, what a coincidence."
"Miss Liu, why are you here?" Du Xiuzhu asked.
"My house was stolen, and I suspect it was a neighbor who did it. Will the person in charge of the case ask me to come and hear the case?" Liu Shichu said with a smile.
