Zhao Ling felt a "sigh" in his heart, and he couldn't care about comforting people, so he asked everyone to quickly count things.

When Zhao Xiaohe saw Zhao Ling coming back, he had a backer in his heart, wiped away his tears and hurriedly took the dowry list.

Zhao Ling pulled Mrs. Zhao up and said in a deep voice: "Mother, it's useless to cry at this time, it's better to finish counting things first and find the third brother." ”

Mrs. Zhao's face turned gloomy, she burst into tears, held Zhao Ling's wrist and said, "Ning Ning...... How did your third brother become like this? How could I have given birth to such a son? ”

"You don't know how obedient he is at home during this time, and he still helps with things. I thought he had suffered a little loss and finally knew that he had changed, but I didn't expect him to be like this......"

The more Mrs. Zhao spoke, the more uncomfortable she became, and she couldn't breathe.

Zhao Ling knew that the old man's heart was probably a little bad when he was stimulated, so he hurriedly asked Zhao Lao Er to help Mrs. Zhao into the house.

Afterwards, she said to Qi Shu: "You find someone to go to Changle Fang in the town and tell Yu Ye that if his people see Zhao Laosan, they will be tied up directly." If he dares to sneak away, he will break his other leg as well. ”

Qi Shu frowned slightly, looked at the restless people in the room, and nodded.

Before leaving, he comforted Zhao Ling again: "Don't worry, he broke a leg and won't run too far." ”

As soon as Qi Shu said this, Zhao Ling suddenly paused, and then she pondered for a moment, and called Zhao Xiaoshan and Zhao Xiaochuan brothers: "You go to the village and ask the children to inquire, see if anyone has come to look for your third uncle recently, and come back and tell me quickly." ”

The two children were very obedient, nodded and immediately walked out of the yard.

Zhao Ling entered the door at this time, looked at Zhao Xiaohe with a white face and counted the dowry, and found that the whole box of jewelry was missing more than half, at least worth forty taels of silver.

Lin cried beside him: "He must have known that Xiao He didn't put any money on him, so he hit the idea on the jewelry." My mother has been keeping it in the cupboard, why was it taken away by him? ”

Zhao Ling heard some resentment from this, but the matter was not resolved yet, she just glanced at the Lin family.

Zhao Xiaohe's mood was much more stable at this time, and after she sorted out the missing things, she handed the list to Zhao Ling: "Sister-in-law, it's all here." ”

Zhao Ling asked her: "When Ling Gongzi left, did he leave a group of people for you, saying that you could find them if you had something?" ”

Zhao Xiaohe nodded, understanding what Zhao Ling meant: "Does my sister-in-law want them to find the whereabouts of the third uncle?" Then I'll go and tell them. ”

"Yes, tell them that they will tie up as soon as they find someone. Count all your belongings, and then we'll take the people. ”

Zhao Xiaohe pursed his lips and nodded, and then whispered: "Sister-in-law, what are you going to do with it after catching the third uncle and bringing him back?" ”

When Zhao Ling heard this, he was silent for a long time.

Lin Shi said angrily beside him: "What's the use of breaking one of his legs? Dogs can't change eating! ”

Boss Zhao pulled her, but the Lin family was still indignant: "The younger sister and the third child are brothers and sisters of the same mother, so they naturally want to protect each other." Little sister, it's not me who said, these forty taels are not a decimal, this is still Xiao He's dowry, which is different from ordinary money......"

Halfway through Lin's speech, Zhao Xiaohe raised his voice and shouted: "Enough! The third uncle is the third uncle, and the sister-in-law is the sister-in-law, do you have a temper with the sister-in-law? ”

Lin knew that his daughter was stubborn, but he didn't expect to be angry with himself in public.

She was silent for a while, and then she couldn't hold back her tears and began to shed tears: "I'm not wrong, if it weren't for my mother to keep it for you, how could this happen?" The good things in this house, every time my mother has to lock them in the cabinet, so that we can't look at them. She is the only one who has the key to the cabinet, and we don't usually dare to touch it, so the third child can still take away so much jewelry......"

Zhao Ling looked at the Lin family and said lightly: "Do you suspect that my mother gave the third brother the key?" ”

Lin's words came to an abrupt end, and Zhao Xiaohe hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law, my mother is confused, don't take it to heart." ”

Zhao Ling bowed his head at her, then looked at Lin and said, "Sister-in-law feels uncomfortable, I can understand it." But the cabinet was smashed open, and the things were stolen, and my mother was also the victim of this. If you are dissatisfied with your mother-in-law's style of doing things, you can say it directly, and you don't have to insinuate like this. ”

After Zhao Ling finished speaking, he turned to Yang and said, "Second sister-in-law, I bother you to take care of my mother, I'll deal with this matter." ”

After Zhao Ling finished speaking, he left, Zhao Xiaohe looked at Lin and said angrily: "Mother, what are you doing to your sister-in-law?" Grandma was also kind at the time, otherwise the dowry would be remembered so much, even if the third uncle didn't steal, someone else would steal, you would have to make people angry for no reason! ”

Lin was scolded and couldn't help but say: "Then your sister-in-law is rich, if your third uncle doesn't come back the things, her two brothers and sisters, can't your sister-in-law help make up for it?" ”

Only then did Zhao Xiaohe understand what the Lin family meant, and her eyes widened in shock.

Yang was also a little stunned, he didn't expect that his sister-in-law, who looked soft and cowardly, would have such a heart.

Sure enough, it is an honest person, and he cannot be disrespectful.

Zhao Xiaohe was so angry that he couldn't speak.

She was aggrieved because that thing was given to her by Ling Yehan, or a dowry, and its meaning was much more valuable than its value.

But what her mother was thinking was money......

Compared with the forty taels of silver, the sister-in-law gave her much more than the forty taels.

The house was messy, but Zhao Ling was very calm in his heart.

She glanced at the old man Zhao in the corner of the courtyard, who looked dull and sluggish and couldn't even blend into everyone, and then looked at the dilapidated old courtyard of the Zhao family, and a thought suddenly came to her.

It's just that no matter what the next step is, it's better to find Zhao Laosan first.

Zhao Ling mobilized several forces to find people, and soon responded.

First, the children in the village said that they had seen Zhao Laosan and were picked up by the Laizi in the village, and the two were obviously complicit.

Later, I heard from the ruffians in the town that Zhao Laosan and the others did not go to Changle Fang, but went around the county seat. It seems that he is planning to run away from the county seat.

But they didn't expect that the rich people in the world could more or less climb some relationships.

Although the gambling house in the county town and the Changle Fang in the town are not the same, they also know Lu Pei. After Yu Ye got Zhao Ling's words, he quickly asked his younger brother to find someone.

As expected, Zhao Laosan was caught in the county gambling house.

Fortunately, his luck is not bad, not only did he not lose money today, but he also won a few small handfuls.

Zhao Xiaohe's dowry jewelry was also preserved.

Yu Ye's people, after saying hello to the gambling house, tied up Zhao Laosan and left without saying a word. Seeing this, Laizi originally wanted to slip away, but was tied up by Yu Ye's people.

As soon as it got dark in Hedong Village, when the atmosphere of the Zhao family was still depressed and dull, Zhao Ling lit a torch and brought people over, saying that Zhao Laosan had been arrested.

Zhao Xiaohe's jewelry was also brought back.
