Chapter 45: Be prepared
Seeing An Xiabai and Lu Li, Liu was like a ghost, and took three steps back in a row, his face as white as a piece of paper.
"I suddenly remembered that there was something going on at home and wanted to go back and deal with it." Liu lowered his head and said in a snort, "Isn't this that I am afraid that continuing to stay here will cause trouble to you, I want to reduce some pressure on you." ”
An Xiabai sneered and said: "Sister-in-law, I don't like to hear what you say, the person who wants me to help is you, and the person who said that there is something at home that is ready to go back to deal with it is also you, you can't help but look down on me too much, can I really come and go as I like to be in and out of a hotel here?" ”
Liu Shi remembered the small note he saw in the cabinet, and secretly hated in his heart, so he grabbed Liu Caiyue's hand and wanted to run, but was stopped by Lu Li before he could take a step.
She was afraid that she would suffer a lawsuit, so she fell back directly, sat on the ground and pretended that she couldn't breathe, and said loudly: "What are you doing, don't you see that I am uncomfortable, even if you hate me in your heart, you can't stop me from going to the hospital!" You're murdering! ”
If you want to act in the play, An Xiabai was quite impressed, and said with a half-frown: "Sister-in-law, don't move around if you are not feeling well, I will ask the doctor to come over." ”
The more anxious Liu is, the more she doesn't want her to go, how can she let go of a good show that she has been waiting for!
Liu's shouting attracted other people in the restaurant, and they all came out to take a look, but when they saw Liu and An Xiabai talking, they retracted their heads again.
At this time, Zhou Hedong also rushed over, and when he saw the scene of the dispute, he was stunned at first, and wondered: "Mrs. Lu, what happened in the restaurant?" ”
Liu Caiyue heard his voice, thinking that she had seen a savior, and stared away as if she was begging for help, Zhou Hedong's heart was half crisp, and she mustered up the courage to say: "If this lady is not feeling well, let's not detain her in the store, it will cost her her life, why don't you send her to the hospital?" ”
No wonder Liu Caiyue would pick on him, the scholar's ears are soft.
An Xiabai gently pressed his faintly aching temples, and said calmly: "There are some words, let's talk about them in front of everyone in the restaurant today." ”
As early as when Liu Caiyue came to the restaurant to sell miserably and beg to be taken in, An Xiabai was paying attention to her usual behavior, and found that she had nothing to do every day, not only rarely helping the people in the restaurant, but also often pestering the scholars who managed the accounts. Several times she eavesdropped while they weren't paying attention, and when she heard the scholar explain all the accounts, she paid more attention.
Later, as soon as Liu came over, she guessed that their mother and daughter would steal money and run away, so she deliberately prepared a small note and put it in the cabinet.
The later drama has to be left by Liu and Liu Caiyue to continue!
"Isn't it difficult for my sister-in-law's family recently, I promised to take in my sister-in-law and cousin, and I will definitely do it, if you want to leave now, don't you slap me in the face and deliberately embarrass me."
An Xiabai said as she asked Lu Li to go to the account room to inspect the cabinet, and sure enough, it had been opened, and her face turned cold.
Liu also wanted to pretend to be sick, so he sat on the ground and shouted louder: "Someone, help!" ”
"I was so kind and wanted to help my sister-in-law's family, but it was sad that you treated me like this." An Xiabai lowered her face and pretended to wipe her tears, and said in a lamented voice, "My sister-in-law wants money, just ask me to take it, why sneak up on the key to the account room?" ”
Zhou Hedong was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly went to look through the key in his drawer, but it was indeed gone, and his heart was cold.
"Mrs. Lu, I didn't know at the time...."He furrowed his brows and tried to explain to An Xiabai.
The latter waved his hand, so that he didn't need to say more: "You should know about the recent theft in the restaurant, and I don't want to believe that my relatives are not clean, but now that it has happened, I don't believe it, I have to have a suspicion, sister-in-law, if you want to clear your suspicions, come with me to the yamen, Lord Shen is an upright person, and he will definitely not shield anyone." ”
Where did Liu dare to go, she really wanted to steal money, and when she went to the yamen for interrogation, wouldn't she want to show her stuffing, so she immediately lay down on the ground and snorted loudly: "No, I'm going to die, you send me to the hospital quickly!" ”
The onlookers talked a lot, all saying that people are invincible in the world.
And An Xiabai had long expected that she would definitely not give in easily, so she sneered and called a few security guards brought by Ruqing: "Sister-in-law, if you don't get up, let them carry you?" ”
Liu raised his eyes and glanced at it, and his face turned as white as paper.
An Xiabai, this little slut, seems to want to play for real, and she plans to hold on to her own mistakes, what can she do!
Before she could come up with a way, An Xiabai asked one of them to pull up Liu: "Anyway, the restaurant is not far from the yamen, sister-in-law, you can lie down on the road, you can go out, and I can too." ”
After all, the fault is on her side, Liu is really afraid, but now it is too late.
An Xiabai asked Lu Li to stay in the restaurant, and he led people to escort Liu and Liu Caiyue to the direction of the Yamen, during which Liu Caiyue kept crying, and occasionally said two words that were a family don't make too much trouble, but An Xiabai rejected them one by one: "When you stole the silver taels from the account room and gave my husband Zhang Luona as a concubine, I never thought that we were a family." ”
When they came to the Yamen, it happened that Shen Ya had just arrived at the place, and when he saw this, his expression was slightly abrupt, and he was quickly promoted to the court for trial.
That Liu Shi bowed her head and knelt on the ground, where had she seen this kind of battle when she had been arrogant and domineering for most of her life, her legs were frightened and weak, and she didn't dare to raise her head to look at Shen Ya.
An Xiabai was much calmer, and after telling Shen Ya everything about the matter, Shen Ya was shocked, and asked in a solemn voice: "Is it true that you opened the account room and stole other people's keys to open the door of the cabinet and steal money?" ”
Liu can barely maintain her composure, but Liu Caiyue is different, after all, she is just a little girl, and she was so frightened that she burst into tears when she saw this scene, and she was already crying into a tearful person.
"It's true, but don't you think your words are a little ugly, my lord, we are a family, what's the point of taking some money," Liu admitted calmly, but he still wanted to change the concept to argue for himself, "Her money is our family's money, what if we take it, we raised her to such a big age, shouldn't we get paid?" ”
Housework is the most difficult to judge, Shen Ya pursed his lips, and turned his eyes to look at An Xiabai.
An Xiabai's expression was still calm: "Sister-in-law, I think this matter needs to be clarified with you, the restaurant is not my personal asset at all, but the Mo family, and Mo Simin is the shopkeeper of the restaurant." Besides, sister-in-law, didn't I tell you before, if you need money, you can tell me directly, you are stealing like this, and the case is serious and you will go to jail. ”
Liu Shi was really panicked this time, and said several times that he didn't know, and asked Shen Ya to include himself not to blame.
"Mrs. Lu is right, your actions can indeed be called theft." Shen Ya said solemnly, "Even if the restaurant is opened by Mrs. Lu alone, it is not right for you to steal property without the consent of others." ”
"I know it's wrong, Lord Shen, you can spare me this time." Liu cried and cried, "My daughter is not married yet, and I will be guilty of it, she can't be involved, otherwise how will she marry in the future, even if she is really married, what do the people of her husband's family think of her?" ”
"Mother...."Liu Caiyue cried a handful of snot and tears.
Shen Ya's expression was solemn, and after thinking for a while, he sentenced her to a crime of stealing, as for Liu Caiyue, for the sake of her young age, Shen Ya just made her lose some money.
After the case was closed and everyone in the public hall dispersed, An Xiabai suddenly stopped Shen Ya: "Can Lord Shen take a step to speak?" ”
Shen Ya's heart moved, and he took her to the inner courtyard.
An Xiabai didn't dare to entangle with him more, so he asked straight to the point: "Lord Shen seems to be familiar with Lord Zhou, do you know the situation in his family?" ”
Why did she suddenly ask about it? Although Shen Ya was puzzled in his heart, he still made it clear to her everything he knew, such as Zhou Wensheng was a son-in-law, and his wife in the family was extremely fierce.
The situation was exactly what she wanted, An Xiabai took out a letterhead from her sleeve and handed it to Shen Ya: "Lord Shen, can you do me a favor and give this letter to Mrs. Zhou?" ”
"Pardon me, what's in the letter?" Shen Ya asked, holding the letter.
"Regarding what Lord Zhou has done in the past few days, it's all the truth, Lord Shen doesn't need to be afraid," An Xiabai said with a smile, "I will definitely not slander it." ”
Zhou Wensheng has been in and out of the restaurant recently, Shen Ya knows a little about it, and he originally wanted to send a letter to Mrs. Zhou, but he always put it on hold because of his busy business, but now that An Xiabai has written the letter himself, he will worry less about it, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Lu, don't worry, I will definitely deliver this letter to Mrs. Zhou." ”
An Xiabai got a satisfactory answer, so he took his people back to the restaurant, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Zhou Hedong greet him, and said with a ashamed expression: "Mrs. Lu, I have already packed up my things." ”
"What are you packing up for?" An Xia Bai asked confusedly.
Zhou Hedong lowered his head in shame, and only dared to stare at the tips of his shoes: "I feel ashamed in my heart." ”
It turned out that after An Xiabai left the restaurant with people, Zhou Hedong had been very tormented, and after he strung things together and figured it out, he felt that he was ashamed of An Xiabai and betrayed the trust of others, so he wanted to resign and leave.
Hearing this, An Xiabai couldn't cry or laugh: "The responsibility for the matter is not yours, if you want to blame them, you can reflect on yourself and learn a lesson in the future, you can still do this job." ”
Zhou Hedong raised his head suddenly, and couldn't believe that An Xiabai was willing to keep himself: "Thank you, Mrs. Lu!" ”
An Xiabai patted him on the shoulder and said softly: "Do your part well, even if you repay me." ”
