Chapter Seventy-Three: Holding the Sheep
Literature was talking, seeing that Wen Cai listened to him so quietly this time, I was afraid that Wen Cai would really encounter something difficult. Literature stopped accusing and asked lightly: "What is borrowed for?" ”
"Didn't I find a job? When I went to hand over the statistics to the boss today, I accidentally broke an antique vase in his office, and they asked me to accompany 2000, otherwise I would lose my job, and I would be handed over to the police station. ”
This writer is really a master of lying, he played on the spot and made up such a seamless reason.
"What vase? It's going to be so expensive, let's go, take me to see if I've been cheated. As he spoke, he grabbed Wencai's arm and asked him to take him to meet their boss.
Wen Cai was in a hurry, and hurriedly shook off the hand of literature, "If you don't want to borrow it, forget it, why bother to find such an excuse, a big boss of a state-owned enterprise, will spend energy to pit me, a nobody?" ”
Literature thinks that Wencai is not unreasonable, but he doesn't know that this so-called state-owned enterprise does not exist at all.
He took out his wallet and gave all the money in his wallet to Wencai, "Take it, this is all your brother's belongings, you also know that the financial power of our family is in your sister-in-law, not to mention 2000, even 200 must be reported to your sister-in-law." ”
Wencai excitedly took the money and counted it, and he didn't have the heart to listen to literature seriously.
Wen Cai finished counting the money and pulled his face, obviously the money did not reach the amount he expected, "It's only 1159?" ”
"What? It's too little, and if it's too little, bring it. Literature said, deliberately reaching over and grabbing it.
Seeing this, Wen Cai quickly put the money in his pocket. Without saying a word of thanks, he turned around and went to the courtyard.
Less is less! It's better than nothing, and the rest will be thought of other bibimbaps. I, Li Wencai, are so smart, this money shouldn't be difficult for me.
is really a white-eyed wolf, as soon as he got the money, he didn't even say thank you.
Wen Cai was thinking about making money, and even when he saw Shumei, who was so ruthless before, he didn't react at all when he saw it. The whole person seemed to have lost his soul, and he looked like he had lost his soul.
After lunch, everyone was chatting in the living room as usual, and Shumei was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks in the kitchen.
The literary talent, who usually talks the same thing, sat on the sofa without saying a word, thinking in his heart how to make up enough money for admission. Even when the old lady praised him to his brother and sister-in-law, he didn't react at all.
Even when I was in a hurry, I kept holding it back, until I couldn't hold it anymore, so I got up and went to the toilet like sleepwalking.
Seeing this, the old woman asked lukewarmly, "Wencai, where are you going?" ”
"Oh! Go to the toilet and you continue to talk. Wen Cai came back to his senses, returned lightly, and continued to walk towards the toilet.
When he entered the toilet door, he was amazed by a large gold ring and a women's watch on the sink.
He didn't bother to go to the bathroom, and a bad thought rose in his heart, so he grabbed the ring and watch, and smiled weirdly in the mirror in front of the sink. Haha, God help me, God wants to help me! Sister-in-law's watch is a good product, it's a big deal, when I make money, I'll buy another one and return it to my sister-in-law!
He looked at himself in the mirror and stroked his face, which was obviously an extraordinary face; One can be a blockbuster; A face that makes everyone look up.
He kissed the watch in his hand and said, "Sister-in-law, thank you!" "I put my watch and ring in my trouser pocket and pee and hum a little tune.
When he finished going to the toilet and opened the door, he saw Meng Li standing at the door, Wen Cai was not prepared, and he was so frightened that his body twitched.
"Oops! Sister-in-law, what are you doing standing here quietly? The three souls and seven spirits were almost scared away by you. ”
Wen Cai's face turned pale with fright, and when he saw that it was Meng Li standing outside, his body relaxed slightly, he breathed a long sigh of relief, patted his chest, and asked Meng Li in a trembling voice.
This writer has no manly spirit in his bones, except for lying and lying, his courage is pitiful, and he was forced to be helpless this time, so he took the sheep with his head.
"Look at your virtue, is your sister-in-law and I so terrible? It scares you, like you've seen a ghost. Meng Li never spoke politely to him, an unsuccessful little uncle, and when she talked to him, she would not add any embellishments, but would be more direct and not save him the slightest face.
"No, no, no, sister-in-law, you are as beautiful as a fairy, how can you be terrible? My brother married you, which was a blessing from his previous life. If I want to marry a beautiful daughter-in-law like you, I will wake up laughing when I fall asleep. Sister-in-law, you need to go to the toilet! You please. ”
Wen Cai let go out, bowed slightly, and stretched out his right hand to make a respectful look.
"Yo hey! Today the sun is coming out in the west! It's the first time I've heard you speak so well. Meng Li smiled and walked into the bathroom and rummaged around the sink.
Wen Cai saw her actions and knew that she must be looking for a watch and ring, and his heart was pounding with fright.
Calm, calm, now you can't mess around, you can't slip away, you have to stay calm, otherwise your sister-in-law will be suspicious.
Wen Cai originally planned to leave, but he thought that at this time, he had to shout to catch the thief in order to completely remove his suspicion. They won't go too far to search themselves! The most dangerous place is the safest place.
Wen Cai deliberately asked curiously: "Sister-in-law, are you looking for something?" ”
"Have you ever seen a watch and a ring?"
"Watches? Ring? I didn't see it! ”
Meng Li looked at the empty sink, scratched her head, and said to herself: "That's right! I remember that I put it here, how could it be gone? ”
"Sister-in-law, if you think about it carefully, will you remember misremembered and put it somewhere else."
"No way, you know, your sister-in-law and I are famous for having a good memory, how can I remember wrong. If you really can't find it, it's a thief in the family, it's too annoying, and when I find out this thief, I will definitely not show mercy. Meng Li said, rummaging under the sink again.
Hearing Meng Li say this, Wen Cai was a little scared, it seemed that it was not safe to put things on his body. His sister-in-law, but the guy who didn't recognize his six relatives, he didn't say anything, and slipped into his room lightly, thinking up and down, where to hide these things!
Nightstand? No, it's too obvious here. Wen just opened the drawer and closed it again.
Under the pillow? My sister-in-law is a woman, and she can easily think of this kind of place. Wen Cai lifted the pillow and put it back again.
……
He is like an ant on a hot pot, in a hurry to go around the house, put it and take it out, take it out and find another place to put it. Eventually, he found the perfect place in his pile of stinky socks.
He actually thought of such a funny place, because it was really admirable.
Without Shumei to wash the clothes, Wencai's socks were piled up a lot, and they were worn and replaced for two days, and they didn't have to be worn again. Wear it like this repeatedly, the smell of dirty socks, ordinary people can't stand it, and his method is really good.
Meng Li came back from the toilet and sat down on the sofa angrily.
"Daughter-in-law, who provoked you and made you angry like this?" Li Wenxue saw Meng Li's dark face, and asked her with a smile and a joke.
"Who else? There was a burglar in the house, and the watch and ring I put on the sink were missing. ”
"No, it won't! There are no outsiders in this house! Do you remember where you put it, I'll help you find it again? Li Wenxue said, and prepared to get up and go to the toilet.
Meng Li pulled him back on the sofa, "Sit down, I'm about to dismantle the toilet, do you still have the ability to fly away, and you can't dig three feet into the ground?" ”
"That ...... Then I'll accompany you to buy another one tomorrow, buy a more beautiful one, forget it, don't be angry anymore, ah? Baby. Li Wenxue grabbed Meng Li's hand and persuaded her with kind words.
Meng Li strives for perfection in everything, how can she rub the sand in her eyes, she can't swallow this evil breath.
In her heart, she has pointed the finger at Shumei, she thought twice, if this matter is really done by Shumei, she can no longer leave her at home, this kind of nanny with unclean hands and feet, staying is a regular **, maybe one day the family will be turned upside down. More importantly, she was worried about the safety of her little stone.
Wen Cai has been hiding behind the door, crawling on the door, eavesdropping on the movement outside.
"What's it? I'm going to have to find out this thief today. You go, go and call everyone in the family into the living room. Meng Li pushed Li Wenxue and asked him to call someone.
Li Wenxue squirmed, with an embarrassed expression on his face.
"Isn't that right? It's all a family, why bother to be so serious, in case ......"
"What a family, you are so sure that you are a family, isn't there an outsider? Go ahead, don't rub around. ”
Meng Li sharply interrupted Li Wenxue's words and loudly scolded him to go quickly. Li Wenxue had no choice but to get up and call Shumei and the others.
Li Yushu, who was sitting in a rocking chair not far away, heard Meng Li's scolding, turned his face around, and asked in a puzzled tone: "Meng Li!" What's wrong? ”
"Dad, there was a burglar in the house, and my watch and ring were stolen."
"What? A thief? Li Yushu sat up from the rocking chair and his eyes widened in shock.
Li Wenxue called Shumei, who was busy in the kitchen, to the living room, and called Wencai who was eavesdropping in the room.
Wen Cai also yawned deliberately, looked sleepy-eyed, and sat down on the independent sofa chair. He kept muttering to himself: What is the national event? I can't sleep even if I take a nap, people are dreaming!
Shumei, who didn't know the inside story, walked into the living room while wiping her wet hands on the cloth.
Li Wenxue sat on the sofa and said next to Meng Li: "Daughter-in-law, they are all called, if you have anything to say, just say it!" ”
"Go, go and call Mom in."
"Meng Li, you're a bit too much! Do you even doubt my mother? ”
"Suspect what? Mom is the elder in the family, she has the right to know, go quickly. ”
Literature, which was still a little indignant just now, was deflated again, walked to the door, and called the old woman who was chatting in the courtyard with a small stone into the house.
There was only Shumei who didn't know the inside story in the room, her face was relaxed, and the rest of the people were full of gloom.
As soon as he heard that there was a thief in the family, Li Yushu's first thought was Wencai, he knew that his daughter-in-law's temper would not give up if he did not find out the truth. If this matter gets out, he doesn't know where to put his old face.
Of course, Li Wenxue is also very aware of her daughter-in-law's temper, what he is worried about is that if this thief is not Shumei, isn't her daughter-in-law slapping the faces of the two old men? So his face was no better than Li Yushu's.
And Meng Li, the expression on her face is rich, angry? Wrath? Impatient? Anyway, the face was surprisingly ugly.
As soon as the old woman entered the door, she was shocked to see such a family.
"What are you? What's wrong? Everyone is sad, weren't they all okay just now? ”
Meng Li couldn't wait to tell the old aunt about the situation, "Mom, there is a thief in the house, and the watch and ring I put on the sink are missing." ”
The old woman's reaction was the same as when Li Yushu and Li Wenxue knew the news, and she refused to believe it at all, and suggested that Meng Li look everywhere again.
"Mom, my eyes are good! I've looked for it countless times. My judgment is absolutely not wrong, there is indeed a thief in the house. ”
Out of thieves? Shumei was also shocked when she heard this, and she quickly set her eyes on Wen Cai. All she could think of was that this must be another bureau deliberately set up for her by Wen Cai in order to drive her away.
Wen Cai saw Shumei's questioning eyes, he quickly turned his head to avoid it, and didn't dare to look directly at Shumei.
The old woman swept through the people in the living room, and her expression became solemn.
"Okay, it's all here, I don't think I need to say more, if you take out the things now, I won't embarrass you, give you five minutes, if you don't take it out after five minutes, don't blame me Meng Li for being polite."
Meng Li pulled Li Wenxue's arm over, looked at the watch on his wrist, and began the countdown.
These five minutes were simply too long for Wen Cai, and he almost stood up and admitted it in the middle. But when he thought about the battlefield two days later, he still gritted his teeth and endured it.
Time passed minute by minute, the room was unusually quiet, and even the child in the old woman's arms seemed to sense something, looking around with her eyes open, not crying or making trouble.
"Okay, it's five minutes, I gave you a chance, but you don't know how to cherish it, don't blame me for not showing you mercy." After Meng Li finished speaking, she got up and walked to the TV cabinet and picked up the phone on the cabinet, "I'll call the police now and let the police search for it, and it's clear who did it." ”
"Meng Li, you're too exaggerated, family, why do you have to look at it so bluntly, saying that the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, you are lifting a stone to shoot yourself in the foot." Seeing this, Li Wenxue rushed over and pressed down the phone that Meng Li was already holding in his hand.
"What family? What kind of ugliness should not be publicized? I don't think so, I gave her a chance, but she didn't want it, I had to let the police calm this bad breath in my heart. ”
Meng Li and Li Wenxue quarreled, and the two old ones didn't know how to persuade them, but they were in a hurry.
From Meng Li's words, Wen Cai heard a little eyebrows, and he seemed to understand that Meng Li regarded Shumei as a thief.
