Chapter 76: the truth
Chapter 76 The Truth
Du Shi's face no longer had the arrogant look on his face when he confronted Murong Lingran just now, and said with a trembling voice, "I...I just feel that my appetite is not very good today, and I just want to save it for dinner, nothing else."
"Save it for dinner?" Granny Sun glanced at her left wrist and frowned, "I remember you've been wearing a silver bracelet? Where did the silver bracelet go?"
Du Shi quickly covered his wrist, "I...I just didn't wear it today."
"Then go find it now."
"I asked my kid to take... and bring it back yesterday."
Grandma Sun roared sharply, "Miss Du, you're still not telling the truth!"
Murong Lingran said calmly: "Let me tell her for her, I don't know the environment of her home, maybe the family is suddenly short of money, so I took the silver bracelet for it, and the children couldn't eat well, so I thought about the chicken legs. leave it to the children."
"The weather is hot right now, and the chicken thighs will go rotten soon. It's noon. She should have informed her family in advance. Later, she will probably give the chicken thighs to the children for convenience or something."
"Is what she said true?"
For the sake of saying this, Mrs. Du knew that as long as Xiu Zhuang sent someone to visit her house, it would be clear to her. At this time, it was useless for her to quibble. She lowered her head and said, "Yes, it's similar to what she said..."
Her husband had a conflict with others some time ago, and he injured several people with a knife on a whim, but fortunately they were all minor injuries, not life-threatening.
But the other party said, either pay the money or go to jail.
If she goes to jail, her family will collapse.
The family smashed pots and sold iron, she became a dowry and borrowed some money from relatives and friends, and finally settled the matter.
But the news of her husband's injuries was passed on. No one dared to buy meat from her family, and no one dared to sell the whole pig to her husband. Naturally, the business would not go on.
Since then, her husband has been devastated, staying at home dejected every day and doing nothing.
The children have to eat every day, so yesterday I saw Yang's purse, and I had a crooked mind.
"That's the way it is. Mrs. Yang put her purse under the pillow several times before, and didn't find out until night."
"Last night, while she was sleeping, I stole her purse and wanted to find an opportunity to send it home. I didn't expect Mr. Yang to find out so early today, so I would be suspicious, so I had to do it first and wronged Mr. Xiao. ."
The truth finally came out, Xiao Shi finally breathed a sigh of relief, looking at her daughter with gratitude, "Aran, thank you."
Until this moment, she felt that her daughter had grown up and could protect her.
"Auntie, you don't have to be so polite, this is what I should do." Murong Lingran smiled shyly.
A woman smiled and said, "This child's eyesight is also very good, and he actually found something hidden in Du Shi's stomach."
Murong Lingran patted her head embarrassedly, "Actually, I heard the book said that thieves call to catch thieves, who made her jump the highest here, I carefully observed her, and smelled meat on her again. , Guess casually, who knows that she really has something in her stomach, it is lucky."
Everyone suddenly realized that this was the case.
Mrs. Yang looked at Mrs. Xiao with some envy. It would be great if she also had such a smart daughter who would protect her.
"Sister Xiao, I'm sorry, I actually doubted you just now." Mrs Yang said a little embarrassedly.
