Chapter 231
C231 – Who Is the Thief
“I think it’s an act. It’s probably for the sake of avoiding suspicion.” Lee Xiuyu said in a weird tone, “No matter what, he must return my silver.”
Actually, silver was secondary. This golden bracelet and golden lock were not a joke. The reason he didn’t dare to use it for so long was just to be safe. If people knew that this was Xiang Tian, then perhaps … Things would not be so easy to end.
He also knew that these were all the remnants of his grandfather. His family’s mother-in-law knew that he would definitely not be finished with it, and now, he was only begging Ouyang Ling to return everything back to him.
“Old Lord, how is the truth of the matter? The Village Chief and the others will always give their opinions.” old grandma said with an ugly expression. He did not know how much money the old master had, but with so much money gone, what should he do about the old boss? Thinking of this, his heart felt extremely uncomfortable.
Everything had gone in a bad direction. Currently, he lived in the the youngest and would only come to visit the boss when he had time. All of these things were inseparable from the boss’ men.
Lee Xiuyu really hated his mother-in-law. He obviously did not live in his own home, but now he was meddling in other people’s business.
Lin Yuxing originally wanted to leave, but he felt that Lee Xiuyu was hiding something from everyone. Moreover, when he thought about Xiang Tian’s background, he treated him like a passerby.
Not much time had passed before Zhang Xiuyun came out with the pale-faced Ouyang Ling, who obviously had an angry expression on his face, “Oh my god, Lee Xiuyu, this is truly how a thief calls a thief! My one thousand taels of silver have actually disappeared without a trace!”
If he did not have the money, he would become a pauper in essence. In other words, he did not even have the money to travel back, which filled his heart with hatred towards Lee Xiuyu and his family.
This man had clearly given away his money, but in the end, it had all been his fault. He really shouldn’t have come to find Xiang Qixuan, otherwise he wouldn’t have caused him to suffer such injustice, and even lost so much silver.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
“Ouyang Ling! You stole my silver! Don’t play dumb here! ” Lee Xiuyu said with a sharp look, his eyes wanting to kill the person in front of him.
“Do you have any proof, country teacher, that I stole your money? “But I live here. Other than you stealing my money, who else would it be?” Ouyang Ling was still dizzy, but he was exceptionally clear-headed.
An unmarried brother of his had found his way here, and what of it? Thinking about his own actions, he felt that it was laughable. Perhaps his situation was much better than his current one, at least his Ah Yao would not leave him alone.
When village chief Xiang Gongyi and the clan elders saw that they were about to start an argument again, the former shouted loudly, “You don’t need to say a word, I’ll say it! “Speak one at a time.”
Seriously, they were all accusing the other party of stealing the money, so there could only be one truth.
Lee Xiuyu said with hatred, “Village head, do we still need to say this? I, Lee Xiuyu, have never wronged anyone, this… ” He didn’t finish his sentence. After all, everyone was clearly looking at him with disbelief.
“To the Bagui’s Family, these words make everyone blush!” The villagers already knew how many times this person had wronged the two of them from Xiang Tian and his husband. Now, he actually had the face to say such words.
Lee Xiuyu shut his mouth and did not say anything, and could only moan in defense, “There’s absolutely nothing wrong with it this time! “Would I joke about my money?” He also hoped that the villagers would stand on his side, or else he would really fall into despair.
“Alright, this brother here, tell me what happened to your banknotes.” Did you remember the wrong place? ” Village Chief Xiang Gongyi had an ugly expression on his face as he asked.
This person was an outsider. If the village lost their money, their village wouldn’t be able to get out of their relationship. If they were to report this to the government, their village’s reputation would be very bad.
Ouyang Ling saw the village chief’s expression and knew what he was thinking, so he said in a sharp voice, “How can I remember in the wrong place? How could he remember something as important as this silver tael in the wrong place? I’ve been living at home all my life. Is there anyone else besides them? Or rather, who in your village stole my money? “
“If you don’t give me a very good answer, I will definitely report this to the government. It was your people from Xiang Village who stole it!” He had already gone all out and did not have much money on him, but it was still okay to report it to the government.
“Brother, how can you be like this?” A old grandma said in a bad tone.
“That’s right, there’s also no one who asked you to come to Xiang Village, yet when you lost your own money, you blame it on everyone. As expected, it’s a family.” Another old grandma said rudely.
They did not have any good impression of this Ouyang Ling, after all, he had wrongly accused the two of them of coming here a few days ago, and he even wanted to marry Xiang Qixuan.
Zhang Xiuyun also expressed his stance, “My family has never done such a thing.” He really did not expect that he would be the target of this disaster. He was usually very aggressive, but he would never do something like this.
Xiang Qihan’s face turned gloomy, “That’s right, when Ling says these words, it’s better to consider them carefully.” This concerned the reputation of a family.
The wooden house at the bottom of the mountain was already being built, and it wouldn’t take long to build it. When the time came, they wouldn’t need to live with Ah Yao and the others, and they wouldn’t need to endure these rumors and smelly faces when meeting the villagers.
Ouyang Ling’s face was pale white, “I am not accusing you unjustly, I was just speaking the truth, where did my thousand silver go?”
“Lee Xiuyu was the one who said that I stole his money, he obviously has a guilty conscience!”
“Stop quarreling. What you’re saying is that both of your money are gone?” One of the clan uncles asked slowly, only to receive the two nodded their heads at the same time, “Strange kid’s family, let’s see if your money is still there.”
Previously, Xiang Qihan and Zhang Xiuyun did not even think about their own family’s money. However, the moment the clan elder reminded them, the latter immediately ran back, and upon seeing that his money was still safe and sound, he finally heaved a sigh of relief.
Lin Yuxing looked at Ouyang Ling, and then suggested: “As a doctor, I suggest that you not be too angry, or else it will not benefit your brain, and will easily leave behind side effects.”
Ouyang Ling was startled, then nodded gratefully. After all, there was not a hint of disgust in his eyes.
When Zhang Xiuyun came out, he explained, “Village head, clan elders, we did not lose our money.”
After Xiang Qihan heard husband’s words, his heart had finally returned to its original position. Otherwise, the few silver they had saved up with all their effort would have turned into bubbles.
“In other words, only the two of you will lose your silver.” Village Chief Xiang Gongyi’s face turned ugly, “There’s a traitor here.”
“Why didn’t I see Qi?” When he reminded them, the rest of them looked at each other. That’s right, something so big had happened, but they actually did not see Xiang Qixuan.
Seeing that they had already brought up the topic of conversation with Xiang Qixuan, Lin Yuxing smiled and revealed a sneer, “Such a big thing happened in this house, but not a family member, you can imagine …” There was no need to continue, but the meaning of his words was very clear.
“Impossible!” Lin Yuxing, don’t lie to my Qi. It is impossible for him to steal money, absolutely impossible! ” Lee Xiuyu bellowed, his entire body trembling, his eyes filled with fear.
Although he said that, no one, other than Qi, knew where the silver and gold bracelet was. Even the person in charge of the bed did not know.
Actually, I find it strange. If it was just a few taels of silver, this Xiang Qixuan would not have taken all of father’s money, right?” Lin Yuxing’s voice was very calm and gentle, just that it was like a large stone had been thrown into a calm lake, causing a thousand ripples.
“Yu is right, this Xiang Qixuan has disappeared for so long, he must have taken the silver and fled, this person is really …” Many people did not have a good impression of Xiang Qixuan, but they never thought that this person would be so vicious like this.
“He stole a thousand taels of silver from the Ling. Would his own family, the Ah Yao, be reluctant to part with a few taels of silver?” A man asked.
Lee Xiuyu’s face became pale, but old grandma had always been paying attention to this son-in-law, so he suddenly thought of the matter of the boss telling him to take the things, but in the end, there was nothing, “Alright, Lee Xiuyu, you bitch! “Speak, aside from silver, there is also the inheritance left by my old man!”
Before his old man died, he let him see a rock. At that time, he was too sad, and when he finished dealing with his master’s affairs, he went to see it, but found nothing. At that time, he was still resentful, and instinctively thought his master was muddled; otherwise, how could he say such words?
“Ah Yao, what inheritance? This thing is not from the dad, okay? ” Seeing that his mother-in-law looked like he was about to eat someone, Lee Xiuyu felt guilty and unconsciously said that out loud.
“Why isn’t it your old man’s? “Tell me, what did you take under the bricks?” old grandma’s entire body was trembling, he felt that he had been toyed with by this son-in-law for many years.
Lee Xiuyu shut his mouth and did not say a word, he did not want to say anything, so he looked at the eyes of the crowd and was afraid, “It’s just that … It’s a gold lock and a gold bracelet! “
When these words came out, everyone widened their eyes in disbelief. Everyone knew what kind of family background these villagers had, how could they have such a thing for the old tutor?
