Chapter XVII: The Hypocrite
Deciding to go to Donglin Town, Wen Ruyan began to work on the preparation of the medicine needed by Yiqing Hospital.
At the beginning, she extorted a sum of medicinal materials, many of which she prepared for herself, such as drugs to strengthen the body, especially the last time Yu Qiu died and lived, she wanted to make some anesthetics.
Now she has to go far away, although she doesn't think that she has anything to rob in her profession, but to be safe, she has to get some poison or something.
Most of the things that need can be found in the Pleasant House and the brothers in the house, and there are some rare things that can only be bought in the pharmacy.
Wen Ruyan returned to her room and reached under the pillow.
Usually when she goes out, she keeps her money bag with her, but as long as she goes home, she puts things under her pillow according to her habit.
The money used to rent a house and rent a land was allocated to buy some daily necessities and ingredients on weekdays, and a little bit was spent in total, and there were eight taels of silver left.
She reached under the pillow, fumbled back and forth for a moment, and lifted it.
The place where the money bag was originally hidden was now empty.
Her face darkened.
"Sister-in-law, it's time to eat."
Tang Li shouted outside with a grin, and knocked on the door and entered the house without hearing a response.
Wen Ruyan had a cold face, and her eyes were as cold as ice.
Seeing her like this, Tang Li restrained the smile on the corner of his mouth and looked at her with a straight face: "What's wrong?" ”
Wen Ruyan had already thought about it just now, the people she saved money before were Tang Li and Gu Zaoli, although Gu Zaoli knew, she never asked where the money went, and after getting along during this time, she also believed Tang Li.
Then it is only possible that you have discovered it by accident, or heard something.
"Who has been in my house during this time?"
In the past few days, she has been tinkering with those things every day, and she has hardly been in the house, and she has not noticed whether anyone is coming in or out.
Tang Li looked at Wen Ruyan and looked at the simple house.
This house is really dilapidated, all the furnishings can be seen at a glance, Wen Ruyan has always been easy-going, basically I haven't seen her angry, combined with Wen Ruyan's words, Tang Li also guessed that it was not far from ten.
His face sank, and he clenched his fists and asked Wen Ruyan, "The money was stolen?" ”
There's nothing to hide about this, Wen Ruyan nodded.
Tang Li instantly jumped like thunder, turned around and rushed outside with a pair of red eyes.
There was laughter outside, everyone was smiling and chatting over dinner, and so was Cai'er.
He carried a bowl of rice with some vegetables on top, and mixed in with the crowd to listen to everyone talk about the farmland, and then giggle along with everyone when he heard something funny.
"I met a frog today," said the speaker, gesturing in the air with a swagger, "and then I stood behind it and pounced on it, and the frog was caught by me at once." ”
He successfully amused everyone by dancing with his hands, and only then did he laugh and pluck the rice from the bowl into his mouth.
Before he could chew, Tang Li slammed a fist over, and then countless fists smashed towards him angrily, smashing his head and covering his face.
When he came back to his senses, he directly fought with Tang Li, who was riding on him.
"Pull them away!"
As soon as Wen Ruyan arrived, he saw that the two of them were eager to break each other's necks, and hurriedly shouted to stop.
Everyone didn't react to this sudden change before, and when they heard Wen Ruyan's words, they hurriedly stepped forward and pulled the two apart.
Cai Er was beaten inexplicably, and the circle was also aroused bloody, and he looked at Tang Li fiercely with a pair of wide eyes, as if he could break out of the shackles and kill in front of Tang Li in the next second.
Both of them had blue noses and swollen eyes, and they were angry and wanted to fight again.
"Tang Li." Gu Zaoli came out of the kitchen with a bowl of rice, and Zhang Ju was also attracted by the movement outside.
Gu Zaoli looked at Tang Li, not angry and arrogant.
Tang Li stopped struggling and looked at him with red eyes, his forehead bursting with bruises.
Seeing that Tang Lixiao had stopped, Cai Er also quieted down.
"Tang Li, what's going on?"
Gu Zaoli knew that Tang Li would not be the kind of person who caused trouble, so his eyes fell on Cai Er.
Someone asked, Tang Li told him about the loss of money, and he glared at Cai Er: "Everyone has been busy with farm work outside these days, how can anyone else enter?" Yesterday I saw Cai'er sneaking around here, and he must have taken it. ”
Tang Li was still young after all, and his bean-sized eyes fell down as he spoke, but he was still glaring angrily with red eyes.
He was very aggrieved in his heart, others may not know Wen Ruyan's hard work, but he has been busy following Wen Ruyan, and everything is in full view.
"Sister-in-law's dedication for everyone should also be obvious to all, at first digging wild vegetables and digging back pain did not tell you, and then in order to develop the cream to get the second half of the night, wait until everyone falls asleep and give everyone laundry socks, these money are earned by sister-in-law's hard work."
He choked up and couldn't speak, and after a pause, he continued: "Originally, when I came to see the house, there was a better house, and we didn't have any blood relationship with her, but she still gave up a good life and rented such a big yard for everyone to live in, she just hoped that everyone could have a good life, but as a result, Cai'er stole her sister-in-law's money, and she was simply a white-eyed wolf." ”
Wen Ruyan looked at Tang Li silently, she was suddenly glad that she didn't suspect Tang Li just now.
Money can be made again if it is gone, but if people's hearts are cold, it will be difficult to recover.
She deliberately didn't stop Tang Li from talking just now, because she had been observing Cai Er's facial expressions, and his gaze had been dodging with guilt.
After Tang Li's explanation, you can be regarded as understanding the whole thing, they are grateful to Wen Ruyan in their hearts, but at the same time, they are not as reckless as Tang Li, they just look at Cai Er with suspicion and condemnation.
"I didn't take it!" Only then did he stump his neck.
"You look at me." Wen Ruyan slowed down and walked towards Cai'er step by step, and the people around him looked at the two of them silently.
"I want to know the truth."
Cai Er opened his mouth, stared at her with big eyes, and said, "I didn't take it." ”
His voice was a little weaker, a little more powerful than just now.
After all, the child still couldn't hide his thoughts, and some older people saw through his lies at a glance and shook their heads helplessly.
"Cai'er, you are confused."
Wen Ruyan nodded towards Cai Er: "Since this is the case, then you can only search, after all, there are still eight taels of silver." ”
After speaking, Wen Ruyan stood up straight and walked towards the house.
Cai Er looked at her back in astonishment, bit her lower lip tightly, and suddenly shouted: "Don't look for it, I took it." ”
