Zhang Guilan lowered her head and thought for a while, then suddenly raised her head and began to search the crowd with her eyes.
When she saw the Qin family, she immediately rushed over and grabbed Qin’s mother’s arm, refusing to let go. “It must be you! When we left the village this morning, we happened to meet you going out to use the toilet.”
“And, it must be because you lost two hundred yuan yesterday and felt uncomfortable, so you deliberately came to our house to steal!”
Qin’s mother was originally grinning and watching the excitement in the crowd, feeling quite happy.
Suddenly being accused of being a thief, she immediately tried to break free. “Are you crazy? How could I have such great skills to climb over such a high wall in your house!”
Zhang Guilan pointed to Qin Yunfeng beside her, “It’s not him, he’s quite capable.”
Qin Yunfeng’s eyes had been on Su Yi since they returned.
Being suddenly accused of being a thief, his face immediately darkened.
“Auntie, this matter can’t be casually mentioned. We already admitted our mistake and paid the money yesterday. This matter should be put to rest. I couldn’t have done such a thing.”
Soon, someone came forward to testify for Qin Yunfeng, “This kid was out jogging on the main road outside the village this morning. He ran for a long time before returning home. I saw it with my own eyes.”
With the testimony, Qin’s mother immediately started gloating, “Zhang Guilan, you deserved this. You shouldn’t take advantage of others. Even the heavens can’t stand it anymore.”
Zhang Guilan didn’t let her finish speaking and directly lunged at her, grabbing her hair.
The two women quickly started fighting.
Seeing this, the village chief stomped his foot, “Enough! You two are either fighting or arguing all day long. It’s almost New Year’s Eve, what does this look like!”
“Everyone, go home!”
The Su family had been making a scene since morning, without any progress.
The crowd had also had enough of the excitement and went home one after another.
Only the Su family was left behind, closing the door and sighing at home.
As the eldest son, Su Dahai had to step forward to comfort his parents.
“Although we don’t have the money, everyone is still safe and sound. We can earn it back slowly in the future.”
Zhang Guilan was too exhausted to shout anymore, “I was planning to let the second son go on a blind date before the New Year. What should we do now?”
Su Erqiang immediately followed with a howl, “I don’t even have a bicycle, should I walk to a blind date? I’m not going!”
Zhang Guilan glared at him, then turned to Su Dahai and Wang Fang, “Eldest son, I need to discuss something with you two. Right now, the second son’s marriage can only depend on you.”
Wang Fang immediately gave Su Dahai a warning glance.
Both of them knew it wasn’t going to be good.
As expected, Zhang Guilan opened her mouth and said, “I see you two have two bicycles, you can just leave one for the second son to use. Solve this problem first.”
Wang Fang couldn’t directly refuse, so she winked at Su Dahai.
Su Dahai coughed awkwardly, “Mother, it’s not that I don’t agree, but these bicycles were borrowed from my father-in-law’s house. We were late yesterday and haven’t returned them yet.”
“Then give your bike to the second son.”
“What will I ride then?”
“Ask your father-in-law’s family to borrow one when you need it.”
“…”
Wang Fang’s face immediately turned black. “Mom, what you said is strange. This bicycle was my dowry, why should it be given to the second son for free? Have you ever seen anyone using their sister-in-law’s dowry to help their brother?”
Zhang Guilan snorted. “Look at you two, you don’t act like elder brother and sister-in-law at all. You’re not even willing to lend a bicycle. Fine, just borrow it. You can return it after the second son gets engaged, okay?”
Before the eldest son and his wife could respond,
She started crying again.
Seeing this, Su Dahai didn’t know what to say. He pulled his wife Wang Fang and wanted to leave.
In the end, they left a bicycle behind.
While everyone was arguing over a bicycle, Su Yi sat on the side, swinging his legs and watching the drama unfold.
Previously, only the original owner was bullied in the family.
Everyone else got along well.
Unexpectedly, when things got serious, this old woman even dared to cheat her most proud eldest son.
Although the eldest son and his wife left,
The family meeting continued.
It was still about the second son’s marriage. After talking about the bicycle, they started talking about money.
Su Erqiang, seeing that he had a bicycle, felt a little more confident. “Mom, you should have some savings, right? Take it out to tide us over.”
Zhang Guilan snorted angrily. “I don’t have any money!”
Su Erqiang rolled his eyes. “Then why don’t you call that relative in Beijing and ask for some?”
Su Yi, who was eavesdropping, was shocked: !!!
Oh, when did the Su family have a wealthy relative in Beijing?
Remembering those gift boxes she found under the wardrobe, Su Yi finally understood.
According to the second son, those things should have been sent by their relative in Beijing?
She continued to listen with curiosity.
But Zhang Guilan slapped the second son on the back. “What are you talking nonsense about? When did our family have a rich relative? Even if we did, they wouldn’t just give you money to spend.”
Su Erqiang wanted to argue.
Zhang Guilan interrupted him directly. “Alright, shut up. I know what I’m doing. You just go and meet the girl, I’ll figure out the money.”
Su Yi didn’t understand what was going on, and felt a little disappointed.
However, after this incident, the Su family became much quieter.
They had been picking on her, but now they didn’t have the energy to target her anymore.
After two days of peace, Su Yi decided to go to the village chief’s house to inquire about the household relocation.
Remembering Zhou Jinchuan’s instructions, Su Yi specially took a bottle of good wine and a box of malted milk from her space before going.
Taking advantage of the fact that there were few people in the village in the morning, she went quietly.
The village chief and his wife were at home playing with their grandson.
Their son and daughter-in-law had gone to the hospital for a prenatal checkup that morning.
The two were surprised to see Su Yi coming.
However, after the two previous incidents, the village chief had a good impression of Su Yi and quickly invited her into the house to talk.
Su Yi directly took out the wine and malted milk from her bag and placed them on the table. “Village chief, I bought these things from outside, I specially came to show respect to you.”
The village chief was pouring water and turned his head, startled.
His wife also hurried over.
“You child, why did you get such precious things? Quickly take them back.”
Su Yi grinned. “Uncle, Auntie, I found a job in the army, and I bought this specially to show respect to you. Luckily, I hid it under my bed as soon as I got home, so my parents didn’t take it away. You have to keep this a secret for me.”
Mentioning this, the village chief immediately asked about the theft at home the other day.
Su Yi then told him about her door being pried open and her snacks being stolen.
“It’s all my fault. I was planning to take them out and eat them together during the New Year reunion, but I didn’t expect them to be so impatient and sent them back to the Zhang family before dawn. If they hadn’t gone out, they wouldn’t have encountered this.”
