Chapter 12 The stolen passbook
On the way home, Xia's mother wanted to speak and stopped.
"Mom, what do you want to say?" Xia Youzhi sighed lightly, Xia Mu had already peeked at her many times.
"Anyway, don't be too long-winded with your mother, but your mother still wants to ask you, do you really plan to sell breakfast?" Xia Mu asked worriedly.
"Mom, I don't sell breakfast, I'm going to sell something else, I'll go back and try it tonight, and then you'll know if it works."
Xia Youzhi knew that no matter how good she said, it was better to make the roasted brine first, and Xia Mu would judge.
Xia's mother was worried about Xia Youzhi's whole things, and she didn't want to go to school if she was ambitious, but when she saw her determined eyes, she swallowed what she wanted to say again.
That's it, let her fix it if she wants to, and persuade her more when the time comes, she shouldn't give up her studies.
The mother and daughter didn't dwell on this issue anymore, and went home after talking and laughing all the way.
When I walked to the head of the village, it was already evening, and I saw Grandma Liu waving towards Xia Youzhi from a distance.
Xia Youzhi stepped forward quickly, "Grandma Liu, did I let you keep the pork belly?" ”
Grandma Liu looked around and lowered her voice, "I left it, and I also got you a big bone." ”
Xia Youzhi was a little helpless, Grandma Liu often gave her more, and she was a little embarrassed.
In order to improve the family's food, Xia Youzhi often asked Grandpa Liu to come back from the town to help bring meat, and recently the family's face has become much more ruddy.
For the money to buy meat, Xia Mu stuffed the money to Xia Youzhi several times, but Xia Youzhi blocked it back.
"Aunt Liu, how embarrassing it is." Xia Mu was also a little embarrassed.
"What are you talking about, it's for the children, not for you." Grandma Liu pretended to be angry and glared at Xia's mother.
Grandma Liu turned her head, looked at Xia Youzhi on the side, and said with a smile, "Zhizhi, the meat is placed on the kitchen basket." ”
This child is kind-hearted, and every time she cooks soup, she puts a big bowl for her and Lao Liu, and she is very happy in her heart.
Xia Youzhi nodded, and after sincerely thanking him, he went home with Xia's mother.
As soon as he entered the house, Xia Youzhi noticed that something was wrong, the door at home was obviously locked, how could he directly push it open just now?
"What's wrong? of these. Xia Mu walked behind and saw Xia Youzhi staying motionless at the gate, so she asked suspiciously.
"Mom, did you lock the door when you went out this morning?" Xia Youzhi frowned and asked.
"It's locked, what's wrong, what's wrong?" Xia Mu looked at Xia Youzhi in confusion.
"I just pushed it and drove it away." Xia Youzhi looked around.
"It can't be a thief, right?" Xia Mu's face suddenly changed.
Xia Mu hurriedly pushed open the gate of the courtyard, looked around the courtyard, and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that there was no change.
"Mom, go back to your room and see if anything has been taken." Xia Youzhi had a calm face, turned around and went into the kitchen, she was not as optimistic as Xia Mu.
Xia Youzhi stepped into the kitchen and looked at the bamboo basket hanging above the kitchen.
Nothing?!
Grandma Liu clearly said that she put the meat in the bamboo basket, Xia Youzhi wrinkled tightly, it seems that there are indeed thieves in the family!
Xia You's heart sank, his expression was serious, and he turned around and ran towards the gate again.
I looked at the door lock, and the door lock was intact, which means that it was not a pick, but a lock that was opened with a key.
At this time, Xia Mu ran out in a panic, her voice with a cry, "Zhizhi, the money is lost." ”
Xia Youzhi's face sank, "Mom, don't worry, how much money has been lost at home?" ”
"The passbook is gone, and all the money in the family is inside." Xia Mu's lips trembled, "More than three hundred yuan, what do you say?" ”
At this time, there is no password for the passbook, so Xia's mother has been collecting the passbook to death, which is the child's reading money.
Xia Youzhi hurriedly ran to Xia Mu's room.
The contents of the room were turned into a mess, and the iron box in the innermost part of the old-fashioned wardrobe was also opened.
"Well, what's the matter, that's your brother's money for studying." Xia Mu's face turned pale, and her legs were weak and she was holding on to the door frame of the room.
Xia Youzhi took a deep breath, "Mom, don't panic, do you remember the key to our house, who did you give it to?" ”
"Huh?" Xia Mu looked at Xia Youzhi in a daze, not understanding why she asked so.
"I just took a look at the lock outside the yard, it's not like it's smashed, someone should have opened the lock directly, but it can't be ruled out that a thief will open the lock." Xia Youzhi's eyes were cold, and he said gloomily.
"The keys to the house? The keys to the house are only our own. Xia Mu said anxiously, "Ah! I remember, I also gave it to your grandma. ”
When Xia Youzhi heard this, he chuckled in his heart.
Her grandmother lives with her uncle's family, and her aunt Huang Lianzhi has such a character, is it really Huang Lianzhi's stem?
Xia Youzhi thought about it and decided to go to her uncle's house, if it was Coptis chinensis, the passbook should not have been transferred so quickly.
Xia Youzhi told Xia Mu his opinion, and Xia Mu was frightened.
Although she usually doesn't deal with Huang Lianzhi, she is also a concubine, so she won't do this no matter what, right?
"Mom, if it's her, we'll find out when we go to Uncle's house." Xia Youzhi said coldly.
Xia Mu nodded.
Before going out, Xia Youzhi ran back to his room and rummaged through the money he had left.
Fortunately, the money was not taken, and it is estimated that the thief did not expect that she had so much money on her.
Only Xia Mu's room suffered, and the other rooms were not turned over, which can only show that this person is very familiar with their home.
Xia Youzhi was almost certain in his heart that this thief was the person they were familiar with.
Uncle Xia's family lives in the center of the village, and Xia You's family lives at the end of the village, which has to pass through the village chief's house.
When passing by the village chief's house, Xia Youzhi had an idea in his heart.
She asked Xia Mu to go to the village chief first, told everything about the matter, and took the village chief to the uncle's house.
Xia Mu's head was chaotic, and she had no idea, so she could only listen to Xia Youzhi's words and do it.
When Xia Youzhi arrived at Xia Lao's house, the gate of the courtyard was closed, and she sneered.
She had just returned from the town, and when she passed by Xia Lao's house, the gate of the courtyard was still wide open, and after a while, the gate was closed.
I really did something wrong, and I didn't even dare to open the door.
In the evening, many neighbors had already eaten in front of their doors with bowls in their hands, and when they saw Xia You, they all looked curiously here.
Xia Youzhi smelled the smell of meat wafting from the yard, calmly stepped forward and knocked on the door.
"Who?" Huang Lianzhi's shrill voice sounded in the courtyard.
"Auntie, it's me, the youngest." Xia Youzhi said loudly, his expression cold.
"What are you doing here?" Huang Lianzhi's voice was a little panicked, but he still didn't open the door.
This time, Xia Youzhi is even more sure that his house was stolen, and it is definitely inseparable from Huang Lianzhi.
When Huang Lianzhi came back from the town, she happened to meet her and Xia Mu going to the town, knowing that there was no one at home.
"Auntie, my house was stolen, and I want my uncle to come over and take a look." Xia Youzhi pretended to be in a hurry.
The neighbors were shocked when they heard this.
"Your house was stolen, you find someone else to go, your uncle is not at home, you go back." Huang Lianzhi's voice floated out of the courtyard again.
The neighbors shook their heads when they heard this, this Xia boss is really unkind to do this, his brother's house was stolen, and he didn't even take a look.
"I just saw Xia Dazai, you lied to the ghost, Huang Lianzhi, my brother doesn't care." The next-door neighbor said sarcastically.
Xia Youzhi turned his head, isn't this the person who was called Zhang Er's bald man by Huang Lianzhi last time?
"Uncle Zhang, my house was stolen, and now I can't even eat." Xia Youzhi lowered his head and pretended to be sad.
"Youzhi, don't be afraid, it's all from the same village, and my uncle will accompany you to find the village chief." Zhang Erbald couldn't stand it, and thought about finding the village chief to solve it.
Inside the door, Boss Xia glared at his mother-in-law viciously.
He didn't understand why he wasn't allowed to go out, and let him pretend he wasn't at home.
Just now, the big fat ran back and said that when she saw Youzhi walking this way, she actually closed the gate of the yard directly.
When the grandmother of the Xia family heard Xia Youzhi's words outside the hospital, she was also anxious, what happened to the third family?
"I warn you, no one can go out, and whoever wants to open the door, I will fight with whomever I want." Huang Lianzhi said viciously, glaring around.
"Uncle Zhang, my mother went to find the village chief, I guess I can't find out, I want to go to the town to call the police, I heard that the police can find clues." Xia Youzhi deliberately said loudly.
Zhang Erbald was stunned for a moment, the people in the village always asked the village chief to solve anything first, and never thought of finding the police.
"Youzhi, otherwise, let's find the village chief first and see what the village chief says."
"Uncle Zhang, the door of my house was not pried, it is estimated that someone opened it with a key, and this matter will only be known when the police come."
Huang Lianzhi was sticking to the gate of the courtyard, and when he heard Xia Youzhi's words, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
Do you need the police to do this?
In the past, other people's homes were stolen, didn't they all fail?
Huang Lianzhi paced anxiously in the courtyard.
When Boss Xia saw his mother-in-law like this, there was something he didn't understand.
He thought that she didn't keep her mouth open and her temper was a little worse, but he didn't expect it...... She even stole from his brother's house.
Boss Xia is usually honest and fearful, but he is not a big traitor, a person who does not distinguish between right and wrong.
"Say, did you steal something from my third brother's house?" Uncle Xia grabbed Huang Lianzhi's hand and was angry, but he still lowered his voice.
Huang Lianzhi was startled when he grabbed his arm, came back to his senses, and glared at Boss Xia indifferently.
"Why don't you just take a piece of her meat? As for it? They usually eat and drink well, I take a piece of meat from her, and eat it, even if it is not in the face of her uncle and aunt, it is also in the face of her grandmother. ”
"You really just took a piece of meat from the third brother's family?" Boss Xia glanced at Huang Lianzhi suspiciously.
"Of course, what else can I do with her, the family is poor like this." Huang Lianzhi was furious and yelled at Boss Xia.
After listening to this, the uncle of the Xia family, although he was annoyed with his mother-in-law, also felt that Xia Youzhi was making a big fuss, and now everyone knows about it.
"Why do you have the key to the third family?" Uncle Xia thought about it and felt that something was wrong.
Huang Lianzhi didn't squeak and glanced at the Xia family's grandmother.
The grandmother of the Xia family only now understood that the third daughter-in-law felt sorry for them, and she thought about them and let them eat at home, so she deliberately left a key for them.
The grandmother of the Xia family was very guilty, the third child wanted to send the three children to study, they couldn't help much, and now they are still causing them trouble.
Alas.
