Chapter 25: Stealing Money (3)

The village chief smiled: "Uncle believes in you, but can you take out the money and show it to everyone." ”

Li Jiaman didn't want to take it out, but everyone around her stared at her, hesitated for more than ten seconds, and still took out the money in her pocket.

More than a dozen banknotes were displayed in front of everyone.

The village chief counted quietly, there were more than a hundred yuan in total, and he was a little surprised, this is a huge amount of money for children.

He knew Li Jiaman's parents and family, and recalling what Li Peng said just now, he felt that the money was not coming from the right way.

"Sister Jiaman is innocent, the village chief's uncle lost forty yuan, and she is not worth forty yuan in her hand." Mingyan stood in the middle of everyone, she was small, her voice was soft and glutinous, but she inexplicably attracted everyone's attention.

As soon as Li Anan saw her talking, he changed his state of watching the play, and echoed: "Sister Mingyan is right, Sister Jiaman is innocent, and the one who stole the money must be someone else." ”

Li Didi: "Whoever stole the money should hand it over immediately." ”

The children were in a hurry to clear themselves again, and they didn't hold on to Li Jiaman anymore.

The village chief looked at them and sighed, he was soft-hearted, he couldn't see that these children were suspicious of each other for this matter, and the bigger the trouble, the more the children who stole the money did not dare to return it.

He decided to forget it, and just donate the money to accumulate a blessing.

The village chief waved everyone to disperse and go home, and the children immediately ran home, not wanting to stay for a second longer.

The village chief's wife wanted to wait for the children to leave before venting her anger, but it turned out that there were still three children who had not left.

The Li brothers looked at Mingyan who was staying, and whispered, "Sister Mingyan, let's go home." ”

Mingyan: "You go out and wait for me first, I have something to tell the village chief uncle." ”

"Okay."

The Li brothers didn't ask anything, and left as they said.

After they left, Mingyan looked up at the village chief and his wife, and said glutinously: "Uncle, auntie, I know who took the money." ”

The village chief's wife immediately asked, "Did you see that?" Who is it? ”

"He is the tallest little brother, and I have seen him enter the house, and I have seen him have money in his pocket."

She hadn't seen the boy enter the house, but she noticed that every time everyone was in a hurry to get out of the way, he kept his head down and put his hands in his pockets.

It is too unreasonable to conclude that he stole money based on these alone, and what made her directly confirm was that he took advantage of everyone's attention to Li Jiaman, bent over with his back to everyone, and quietly stuffed the money in his pocket into his shoes.

She was not the only one who saw this scene, Mingyan also saw several other children see it, but none of them suspected him.

Or he didn't take it to heart, just glanced at it for a while, and continued to stare at Li Jiaman, not caring about what he was holding in his hand, and he clenched his hands into fists, and he wouldn't be suspicious if he didn't keep staring at the process of putting the money into his shoes at the end.

The village chief's wife: "You kid, why didn't you tell him just now, now let him go, and if you go to him again, you will definitely pay the bill." ”

Mingyan smiled slowly, "Because I'm afraid that if I said it at the time, he would feel ashamed and scolded by everyone, uncle and aunt, you can talk to him privately." ”

The village chief's wife said coldly, "If you dare to do such a shameful thing at a young age, you have to have the courage to bear the consequences." ”

The village chief waved his hand, "That's right, if these children were adults, then I wouldn't be polite to them, but they are still children, and they need a chance to mend their ways. ”
