Chapter 8 The Little Black-Hearted Jacket
???
It's good for you to have a few copper plates to buy candy, how can you have gold leaves?
Li Ren stood up in surprise and said, "Xin'er, you don't lie to Uncle Ren, it's not a good boy to deceive people!" ”
"Hmph, Xin'er doesn't lie, I don't believe you come with me." Li Xin'er grabbed Li Ren's big hand and walked to her house.
Li Xin'er's home is located in a small courtyard on the east side of the Hejian Palace, and the small courtyard covers a large area.
Outside the small courtyard was originally an extremely beautiful garden, which could be transformed into a magnificent martial arts arena by Jiang Ruolan, who loved martial arts.
Only a patchwork of bamboo forests is left next to the martial arts arena, showing the peerless beauty of the past.
At this moment, in the inaccessible bamboo forest, two heads, one big and one small, emerged, sneaky, I don't know what they were doing, if you look carefully, it is Li Ren and Xin'er.
"Uncle Ren, you have hidden it in the bamboo forest, don't be discovered." Li Xin'er patted Li Ren on the shoulder and asked in a low voice.
Hiding here? If you go back to your own house and don't be a thief, why do you have to hide?
Could it be that Xin'er is going to do something bad?
In an instant, Li Ren felt a little bad in his heart. Hurriedly asked, "Xin'er, what are you going to do?" I tell you, don't do anything bad......"
"Shhh, be careful, it's troublesome to be found by A-Niang." Xin'er blocked Li Ren's mouth with her small hand and explained, "You wait here, Xin'er will go and get you money." ”
After speaking, Li Xin'er lowered her head and bent her waist, walked on her short legs, and slipped into the courtyard from the gate in an instant. Quietly, it didn't alarm the people in the small courtyard at all.
The agile figure and the degree of proficiency were no less than that of a thief, and Li Ren was dumbfounded.
Seeing this scene, Li Ren was sure that Xin'er, the ghost elf, must have done something bad. Nine times out of ten, she just went to steal her sister-in-law Jiang Ruolan's small vault.
However, she didn't want to think about it, how could her sister-in-law's money be so easy to steal? If my sister-in-law finds out and I take Xiao Xin'er to steal money, wouldn't I die a miserable death?
In an instant, a deep fear from the sister-in-law involuntarily emanated in the bottom of my heart.
But, for some reason, this fear was mixed with this little excitement. Is this the stimulus to do bad things?
In an instant, Li Ren's heart was in turmoil.
When Li Ren was struggling with whether to run or not.
Xiao Xin'er was sneaky, a thief, a cat holding a small box at her waist, and ran out of the small courtyard with a sigh.
The small box is not large, but it looks not light, and Xiao Xin'er has a little difficulty holding it.
It's only a short journey, and I'm tired and red.
"Uncle Ren, let's go. Don't be discovered. Xiao Xin'er handed the box to Li Ren, took the lead, and ran outside on her short legs.
Yes, now it can be confirmed that Xiao Xin'er went to steal money.
Li Ren hurriedly took the box from Xin'er's hand, pulled Xin'er, hid, and came to a somewhat barren rockery with great caution.
"Xin'er, are you sure you haven't been found?" Li Ren stuck out his head to make sure that no one was following.
"Well, Xin'er is so smart, how can she be discovered?" Li Xin'er raised her face stinkily, extremely proud.
"Fortunately, fortunately, it was not discovered, and it is estimated that there is still a possibility of saving." Li Ren patted his chest and breathed a long sigh of relief.
As long as the money is returned before the sister-in-law finds out, it is not a big deal.
"Uncle Ren, take a look, is this money enough to open a restaurant?" Li Xin'er gasped for a while and calmed down her rapid breathing. couldn't wait to start urging Li Ren.
Li Ren didn't open the box, but looked at Xin'er with a solemn face, extremely stern, "Xin'er, no matter how short of money you are, you can't steal your aunt's money!" Uncle Ren told you a long time ago that those who steal things are bad boys, don't you listen to Uncle Ren? ”
"Xin'er didn't steal anything, Xin'er took her own money." Xin'er looked at Li Ren suspiciously, not understanding why he was angry.
"Your money? How can you have so much money as a little brat? Li Ren opened the small box, revealing that it was full of gold leaves, which were roughly estimated to be worth hundreds of yuan.
"This is Xin'er's money, it's Xin'er's dowry" Li Xin'er pouted, also a little angry. "This is what Aya (Dad) prepared for Xin'er."
"This money belongs to you? Not your mother's? Li Ren was very surprised, in his impression. His eldest brother has always been a penniless and bitter image. All his income is controlled by his sister-in-law, and it is impossible to have this huge amount of money.
"This is what Aya gave to Xin'er, A-Niang's money is all copper plates, locked in a big box, and Xin'er can't move it at all. Moreover, Xin'er didn't dare to touch A-Niang's money, otherwise A-Niang would definitely beat Xin'er's ass! Xin'er explained. The tone was full of grievances.
That day, Xin'er saw Aya hiding something in the cabinet, and Xin'er thought it was delicious, so she wanted to ask Aya for it.
But Aya said that in the small box was a dowry for Xin'er, which was a lot of money, not delicious.
also said that the dowry could not be told to A-Niang, otherwise, Xin'er would have no dowry. ”
……
This...... I've figured it out.
This money is the big brother's private money! Xin'er "ransacked" her eldest brother's small vault.
Li Ren touched his chin and gradually restored the situation at that time.
That day, when the eldest brother was hiding his private money, he was accidentally discovered by his daughter.
The eldest brother knows the character of his daughter's "big horn", and in order not to alarm the sister-in-law, he hides the secret of his private money. He had to lie that the money was a "dowry" for Xin'er, and it was money for Xin'er. and asks Xin'er to keep it a secret with him.
He thought that his daughter was still young and would definitely forget about the "dowry" in a few days. Your own little coffers will certainly continue to be safe.
But he didn't expect that Xin'er inherited the character of her sister-in-law "Pixiu", and what belonged to her would always be firmly remembered in her heart. Never forget.
This time, the little girl is short of money. Naturally, I remembered her "dowry". "Take" all this shady huge amount of money.
No wonder Xin'er was like a thief just now, and she also knew that this money would not be seen.
If it is seen by the sister-in-law, it will definitely be confiscated.
Li Ren looked at his niece who was looking at the ghost in surprise, his eyes full of disbelief.
It's pitiful, I don't know what my eldest brother has gone through, so he can secretly hide these hundreds of times. Just because you're a little kid short of money, you've been wiped out?
It is said that the daughter is the father's intimate little padded jacket. But you Li Xin'er is a black-hearted little padded jacket!
The old lady's money didn't dare to move, and the father's money didn't leave a penny. You're really a clever little ghost who "bullies the weak and fears the hard".
In an instant, Li Ren was full of slander in his heart.
"Hmph, Uncle Ren doesn't believe Xin'er's words, Xin'er ignores you, Xin'er doesn't invest in this restaurant, I have to tell A-Niang, you bully me." Saying that, Xin'er picked up her "dowry" and snorted angrily to sue her mother.
"Hey, my little ancestor, if you let your aunt know about this, we will die." Li Ren hurriedly stopped Xin'er
If you let your sister-in-law know about the existence of this money, then you still have it? When the time comes, if you don't peel off a few layers of skin for me and my eldest brother, she will not be the famous "eldest sister of Chang'an".
"Hmph, Xin'er is angry, the kind of sugar gourd that can't be coaxed." Li Xin'er crossed her hands on her waist, and her milk was fierce.
"This is Uncle Ren's fault, and Uncle Ren misunderstood Xin'er. Uncle Ren must make a lot of delicious food for Xin'er to make up for his mistakes. Li Ren hurriedly confessed.
"Hmph." Li Xin'er twisted her head to the side, pretending to be unhappy, but where Li Ren couldn't see, a treacherous smile appeared on her quirky little face.
"You can't blame me for that, after all, I don't understand the situation. Moreover, your Uncle Ren and I are righteous people with a strong sense of justice and no sand in their eyes, how can they watch their niece make mistakes? Uncle Ren is caring about you, not suspicious of you. Li Ren continued to explain with a bitter face.
"Drop, strong doubts from Li Xin'er, questioning value +3"
Then. The system, which had been silent for a day, suddenly rang out.
Oppugn? Question what? I didn't brag about it just now! It's all heartfelt words, what's there to question?
Li Ren was puzzled. looked at Xin'er in surprise.
At this moment, Xin'er's eyes were full of contempt when she looked at Li Ren, "Uncle Ren, is the way you looked just now what A-Niang said stinky and shameless?" ”
???
What do you mean? Did you say that about your uncle?
Was that shameless just now? That's all true,
Could it be that I am a 21st century talent who takes saving the common people as his own responsibility?
Isn't he a righteous person with a strong sense of justice?
In an instant, Li Ren felt that his niece was no longer cute, and turned into a black-hearted little padded jacket that hurt him deeply.
