169.

In the small courtyard, Tian Chengyu didn't have the heart to read today, and was teaching Dong Yanya to read and write. said that he was teaching her, that is, let her take a calligraphy and copy it, and if there was something she didn't know, she would just ask him for advice.

So he wasn't very busy, staring at the inkstone in front of him, thinking about what had happened before. Judging by Zhao's reaction, the pendant should not have been taken by her. But who else will take it from the Tian family except her?

He didn't have a mind, and Dong Yanya didn't have a mind. He held a brush in his hand, but the brush couldn't fall for a long time, and the ink on the tip of the pen was almost lower.

With a "snap", the ink really dripped onto the paper, and it also brought back the thoughts of the two.

"Smoke Aya?" Tian Chengyu asked.

"Hmm!" Dong Yanya really didn't have the heart to write, so she put the brush on the inkstone, "Didn't you say that you have a big piece of clams in your house?" Now that such a small pendant is gone, it should be ......"

"It's not a matter of how many things are lost, it's that there are thieves in the house, isn't that a terrible thing?" Tian Chengyu frowned.

"Perhaps, the person who stole the thing has her troubles?"

"What's the problem? If you have a hard time, you can say it, why use stolen ones? Tian Chengyu disagreed.

Dong Yanya didn't know how to answer, so she lowered her head and whispered, "Yes." Either way, it's not right to steal. ”

Tian Chengyu nodded, and said with some anger: "I will definitely catch this thief." ”

"And what happens when you catch it?"

"Of course, it will be sent to the government."

"The government is not necessarily fair." Thinking of his cousin, the county magistrate of Yancheng, Dong Yanya sighed leisurely.

"That's right. However, I believe that justice will always be there. For now, I'll catch this thief first. ”

Dong Yanyan stopped talking.

Tian Chengyu was thinking about how to catch this thief, Jiang Wanbai was also thinking, and she was thinking about who was most likely to be the thief.

The first person to suspect is naturally Dong Yanya. Not for anything else, just because she is an outsider. This is also the first reaction of a normal person after encountering something.

And I believe that not only is she suspicious of Dong Yanya, but other people will also doubt her after calming down.

Another coincidence is that since Dong Yanya appeared, the Tian family's Zizhi sauce has appeared counterfeit. It's not that there are no coincidences in the world, but when there are many coincidences, it becomes a little strange.

Which little girl could it be? Thinking that she always looked preoccupied, Jiang Wanbai was really a little suspicious. A little girl of her age is a peasant girl, how can she have so many things on her mind.

The second person who is suspicious is the Zhao family. Although Zhao has repeatedly said that this matter has nothing to do with her, he does not rule out the possibility of her bluffing.

And then there's Wang. Although Wang gave up having children, she was still very silent every day, making people not know what she was thinking, and perhaps, it was not impossible for her to come up with some strange thoughts.

And then ...... Jiang Wanbai shook her head, she really didn't want to doubt the people of the Tian family. Once the seeds of doubt are planted, it is not so easy to pull them out later. For such a small piece of clams, it is simply not worth it.

Let's think about how to catch the thief.

What is the black box with carbon inside, let everyone reach out and touch it, whoever has a weak heart, whose hands are not black?

It feels a little funny, and it seems to be good on TV, but if you really want to use it, I don't know if it will work.

Or trick the thief and say that the pendant he stole was fake? It seems to be okay. But as a family, it is not good if it is really out of control in the end.

It's better to take a softer approach first. After thinking about it, Jiang Wanbai made a decision, stood up and went to the back room.

In the evening, the Tian family gathered in the living room, Jiang Wanbai looked around, and then said: "Everyone also knows, the clams I put in the third daughter-in-law are gone." ”

Everyone wanted to open their mouths and prove their innocence. But before they could speak, Jiang Wanbai waved her hand and said, "We've lived together for so long, can I still not believe you."

I believe that the person who takes this pendant must have a hard time, so I will give this to you now. As she spoke, she took out a cloth bag and took out pieces of walnut-sized things from it and distributed them to everyone.

When everyone saw it, they couldn't help but be a little surprised, because what Jiang Wanbai gave them was nothing else, it was a piece of crystal clear clams.

"Mother, what do you mean by that?" Tian Lao Er held the clam and asked.

That's what it means. I don't want to watch people get suspicious of each other over this and end up like enemies. After all, even big hatreds and grudges develop from small things.

Besides, this clams are owned by everyone in the first place, and I don't want to make the family unhappy because of it. Now I will give it to everyone, and I only hope that the person who took the pendant will quietly return it tonight.

That way, I can act as if nothing happened. Jiang Wanbai said with a smile.

The clams she got were the size of a water tank, and even if everyone had a slice, only one corner of the clams had been removed. Use it to make the Tian family more united, and give the person who stole a chance, Jiang Wanbaijue's value.

Of course, if that person really doesn't cherish this opportunity and gives him a shameless face, she also has a way to make him pay a painful price.

As soon as she said this, the Tian family suddenly felt ashamed. After they learned that the clams were lost, they all suspected others, and even resented others, such as the Zhao family and the Zhang family, they almost forgot that they were a family, a family that shared weal and woe.

"Mother is right, we shouldn't have a grudge over this. I took it. As for today's events, if that person still has a shred of conscience, he should know how to do it. Tian Lao Er was the first to express his attitude.

Although the rest of the people didn't say anything, their expressions also said a qiē. If the thief doesn't return it, they will find him and get rid of him, even if they dig three feet into the ground.

"In that case, let's disperse." Jiang Wanbai said, got up and went back to the room.

In the dead of night, Dong Yanya sat by the window, looking at the clams in her hand that were a little brighter than pearls, and she was very sad. This is a precious and valuable clams, but the Tian family gave it to her so lightly, so what were the things she did before?

Despicable and shameless, Dong Yanya has never felt that she is so ugly. In vain, my father taught me to read so many books and understand so many truths, so I fed them all to the dogs.

Tears crackled and fell, but they couldn't wash away the shame in her heart. After a while, she suddenly made a decision.

Coming to the corner of the backyard, she found a piece of soft dirt, dug it with her hands for a while, and dug up a broken jar. The broken jar was exactly what she used to hide her eyes.

So, she's smart and thoughtful. If the average person is looking for something, it is impossible to dig in the ground. Even if he did dig it, if he dug up this broken jar, he would stop, but he didn't know that what was under the broken jar was what he was looking for.

After digging deeper, she finally saw the familiar wooden box. opened the wooden box, and inside was the clams pendant that Jiang Wanbai had lost.

Holding the pendant tightly with her hand, she staggered to the door of Tian Laosan and his wife, put the pendant on the steps of the door, and then wanted to turn around and leave.

But as soon as she turned around, she saw a person, someone who was both unexpected and expected.

"Did you already know that I stole this pendant?" As soon as the qiē was debunked, Dong Yanya not only didn't feel scared, but felt a sense of relief.

Jiang Wanbai shook her head, "Only seventy percent suspect you, but there is no evidence either." ”

"Seventy percent? That's enough. Dong Yanya smiled indifferently, as beautiful as a midnight fireworks.

"If you can come, it proves that you are still a good person and worthy of forgiveness."

"Forgiveness?" A hint of gleam flashed in Dong Yanya's eyes.

Can it really be forgiven? I guess it works! She chose to return the pendant, in fact, she knew that the Tian family was giving her a chance, she wanted to seize this opportunity, and she wanted to stay in the Tian family, so she came. In the end, he is still a person who wants to get more and is not greedy enough.

Dong Yan Ayajue's self is really hypocritical and ugly.

"You're not the daughter of a farmer's family, are you? Mind talking about you. Jiang Wanbai said softly.

Dong Yanya told a story that was both ordinary and extraordinary. Her surname is Dong, and she is a distant relative of Dong County. Originally, although the family was not wealthy, there was no problem with eating. Unexpectedly, the world is impermanent, her mother suddenly became seriously ill, spent all the family's savings, and finally died.

His father couldn't stand this double blow and fell ill not long after. And because the family had no money, the disease dragged on and on, and it turned into tuberculosis.

His father's biggest worry was that he died, and she had no one to take care of, so he wanted to find a support for her, so he thought of Dong County's order.

In fact, she didn't want to come, the favor was weak, they were so ruined, if Dong County Ling didn't care about them at all, wouldn't it be even more difficult for them.

But his father said that he had something in his hand, and he promised that Dong County Ling would take them in when he saw it.

couldn't resist his father, so she took his father to Yancheng to join Dong County.

At first, Dong Xianling was reluctant to see their father and daughter at all. Later, his father didn't know what to say to those officials, so Dong County Ling came out to welcome them in and entertained them warmly.

However, this enthusiasm only lasted a few days. He seems to have been asking his father for something, but his father insisted that he would not give it to him until Dong Yanya got married and had something to rely on. In this way, the two often quarreled.

After the quarrel, Dong Xianling completely ignored their father and daughter, a bit of a meaning of leaving them to fend for themselves. Until a few days ago, he suddenly came to her and told her the news of Tridacnida, and the price was that she wanted to help him steal the secret of Tian Jiazizhi sauce.

"My father's tuberculosis has not been good, the doctor said, the disease has the effect of calming the mind, replenishing yin and reducing deficiency fire, if it can be worn for a long time, maybe my father's disease will have a turnaround." Speaking of sadness, Dong Yanya covered her face and couldn't cry.

A teenage girl, her family has changed dramatically, she has been displaced, and she has seen all the warmth and coldness of the world, she definitely has a reason to cry.

"And what are you going to do now?" Jiang Wanbai waited for a while, and waited for her mood to calm down a little, and then asked softly.
