Chapter Thirty-Eight: Victory
Now that she has lost her money, she can tell Shui Yao that she can't act rashly now, and if she wants to catch the real thief, she must first endure this loss and observe it silently, otherwise sometimes a sentence will startle the snake and arouse the vigilance of the thief, and the efforts made before will be in vain. After thinking about it for a long time, Shui Yao finally thought of a good way to lure the snake out of the hole.
So in the next few days, every time Shui Yao sent his younger brother to school, he deliberately did not lock his hut, not only that, but especially the small wooden box containing the money was still placed in the original position by Shui Yao, and even the time when Shui Yao went home was the same as before, without making any changes.
It's just that every time someone wants to go home to take inventory, they find that more and more money is lost in the box. From the beginning of the one or two cents a day less to seven cents and eight cents. But in the face of such a change, Shui Yao didn't even mention it during the meal, as if nothing had happened.
In a blink of an eye, it was Friday again, and on this day, Shui Yao carried a basket of eggs and two boxes of pastries to Fang Peinan's house as usual to learn needlework from Yu Xiulian. Although Shui Yao has almost never touched a needle and thread in his previous life, it seems that women have a special talent in sewing and mending. When Yu Xiulian saw it, she was naturally happy in her heart, so when she was leaving the spa, she instructed Fang Peinan to dig up a lot of potatoes and give them to her.
Because Fang Peinan dug too many potatoes, Fang's mother looked at Shui Yao's thin and small body, and estimated that she couldn't take it back, so she asked her son to help carry the things to the Shui family.
"Brother Pei Nan, I'm really sorry today, I want you to come over again, do you want to go in and have a cup of tea?"
Although Fang Peinan is a big and small man, the sack of potatoes on his body is really not light, and he will have to eat twenty or thirty pounds, to say the least. In addition, he carried this all the way, and when he finally arrived at the Shui family, a layer of fine and dense beads of sweat appeared on Fang Peinan's forehead. Therefore, for Shui Yao's proposal, Fang Peinan did not refuse.
"Then I'm bothering you. However, if there is something missing in the future, you can come to my house to see, my mother has always been a straightforward and fast-talking character, there is no bad heart, you will follow to learn needlework in the future, if my mother has something to say to make you unhappy, don't go to your heart. ”
When Shui Yao heard this, his heart warmed, and he quickly nodded with a smile, and then planned to open the door. But as soon as I looked up, I found that the door was not locked at all, but it was not yet the day when Shui Daquan came back, Wu Chunhua went to work in the production team early in the morning, and there should be no one at home at this time. Besides, Shui Yao remembered that when he went out, he was obviously locked up well......
Could it be ......
A bold idea suddenly popped up in Shui Yao's mind: It seems that this thief can't sit still, there must be a situation today! So he didn't care about anything else, and hurriedly pushed the door in.
"Who! Who's there? What are you doing in my house! ”
As soon as Shui Yao entered the door, he saw a woman wearing a black homespun shirt, a red scarf around her head, and mud legs sneakily closing the door of her bedroom.
Wu Chunhua, who was named by name, heard Shui Yao's loud shout, and her footsteps immediately stopped, and she didn't even hold the basket in her hand steadily, and almost fell to the ground, her voice was quite empty.
"Yo, are you still willing to come back? I haven't said anything about you when I run out every day, but you're embarrassed to dare to yell at me? Are you a ghost? The old lady warns you that you ...... If you scare me to death, you must not have a good life, don't believe it and we'll see! ”
Shui Yao looked at it, it turned out that Wu Chunhua was back, and when he saw her carrying a basket in her hand, he immediately had an alarm bell in his heart, and immediately turned on the combat counterattack mode.
"Wu Chunhua, you have it! Did you sneak into my house and take something from me? You're embarrassed to intimidate me here. Did you know that stealing people's things is a crime and going to jail? When the time comes, if the whole production team knows about it, then you are in the team...... Gee. ”
When Wu Chunhua heard this, she was immediately annoyed: "You dead girl, what are you talking nonsense here?" What did I take from you? Keep your dog's eyes open and see that there's nothing in the basket! ”
After speaking, Wu Chunhua also deliberately raised the empty basket in her hand. was about to open his mouth to "fight to the end" with Shui Yao, but at this time, he found Fang Peinan standing at the door. After seeing that he was carrying a big ~ sack in his hand, he immediately started to think crookedly, his eyes rolled, and the extremely mean words were like a cannon, crackling out of his mouth, and smashed straight into Shui Yao.
"Hey, hey! I said that you are a little girl, you really have a long ability, no wonder you don't look down on Zhou Guang, it turns out that you have already secretly hooked up with your father behind my back! Scold! The old man in this village said that what he said was not bad at all, that if there is a mother, there must be a daughter. I think that at the beginning, your mother was an old ~ sassy ~ goods that men from all over the country hooked up with, it seems that you are really carved out of a mold with your cheap mother, the same will hook up with men, the same sassy! ”
I don't know why, although Shui Yao has nothing to do with the mother of the original owner who has died, and they haven't even met in person, but hearing Wu Chunhua scold like this, the fire in Shui Yao's heart bubbles up.
"Wu Chunhua, you don't spew blood here! Did my mother eat you or drink you, if you slander her like this, aren't you afraid that after she dies, she will be beaten down to the eighteenth layer of hell and never be reborn? But I see that you haven't done a good job in the production team, aren't you afraid that I will tell my dad in a few days, and he won't let you stay in this house? ”
As soon as Shui Yao's words fell, Fang Peinan, who had been standing at the door, listened to Wu Chunhua's unbearable sentence, and his brows furrowed tightly. So, I didn't care that the quarrel between Wu Chunhua and the spa belonged to the family affairs of the Shui family, and I couldn't interfere in this reason, so I suppressed my huge anger and explained it word by word.
"Aunt Wu, the reason why I can still call you an aunt today is because I see that you are older than me and because of my elders. However, this doesn't mean that you can rely on being a generation higher than me, spraying people here with blood, and slandering my relationship with Shui Yao! ”
"Today, Sister Shui Yao came to my house to learn needlework from my mother. I just helped her get some potatoes this time, and we were innocent. Sending her back was approved by my mother, and the potatoes I had dug myself from the backyard were not something to be seen in the dark. I also hope that you don't say these words that don't conform to your identity, if others hear it, you will drag Uncle Shui and lose people in vain! ”
Wu Chunhua saw that even such a poor boy with horns dared to come out and ride on his head to, and he couldn't hold back at all, thinking that he had suffered so many grievances in the production team in vain these days, Wu Chunhua looked at Shui Yao now, it was simply a thorn in the flesh. The new hatred and the old hatred made her want to tear Shui Yao apart!
"Where are you a wild boy from the horns, what do you know, and you dare to accuse me here? Seeing that the rice you eat is not as much as the salt I eat, I advise you, Shui Yao, this little vixen is not a simple thing, you are less deceived by her appearance, this little girl looks very pure on the surface, but in fact, it is all pretended! ”
"Look at me and I don't say anything else, just she went to your house, and she got a lot of benefits, I said that you are too good to talk to your mother, and you give it away without blinking your eyes. I naturally don't have anything to say about the people you send to the side, but this girl? Hehe, that's famously more dense than a hornet's nest! You actually came here today, just listen to my words, be with her, be careful of being deceived, don't blame me for not reminding you when the time comes, I regret it! ”
Seeing that Wu Chunhua was going to continue, Fang Peinan's patience was completely exhausted, he glanced at Shui Yao with apology and distress, and then walked to the door to put the basket on his back, and warned him again before leaving.
"Aunt Wu, I finally know why Shui Yao jumped into the river after being forced to marry by you at that time, in fact, even if you didn't force her at that time, I think Shui Yao has not been happy for so many years! In fact, in the final analysis, I am just an outsider, and I am not qualified to comment on the affairs of the Shui family back then. Besides, Shui Yao is also your stepdaughter, after all, they have lived together for several years, I'm afraid it's not right for you to say that? ”
"I hope you can keep some morality, and don't be so mean, what kind of person is Shui Yao, I have my own judgment, I believe my mother also sees it in her eyes, so you don't need to worry about telling me anymore." If you spread the word of slander against your stepdaughter, you will be looked down upon by others! ”
After Fang Peinan finished speaking, he glanced at Shui Yao, and then regardless of Wu Chunhua's reaction, he took his things and left the Shui family without looking back.
Seeing that Fang Peinan was gone, Shui Yao also completely tore his face with Wu Chunhua now, he had a lot of words just now, it was really difficult to say it in front of Fang Peinan, and he couldn't care about his father Shui Daquan not being at home at the moment, Shui Yao stepped forward and grabbed Wu Chunhua and was about to walk out of the door.
"Wu Chunhua, have you been living so well recently that you forgot how you promised my father at that time in order not to leave the Shui family? Do you think I won't dare touch you if my dad is not here today? ”
"Now, my dad has only been gone for two days, and you are starting to be lazy, taking advantage of the fact that we are not at home, secretly running back from the production team, what do you want to do? I not only heard what you said just now, but also memorized it in my heart. You slandered my mother, slandered my reputation, and now you're driving away important guests from the house. If my dad finds out about this today, you'll see! ”
