When Zhao Fanye heard grandma's howling, he immediately opened the door and came out.

"Grandma? What did you say is missing?" Zhao Fanye stared in surprise. There is still money in the house?

Wasn’t all the remaining money in the house taken away by Uncle San?

Is there something wrong with her ears?

"The money in the house is gone, the last tael of silver." Zhao Bai was really angry now. As she spoke, her eyes turned white, her face turned red, and she was a little out of breath. Zhao Fanye was almost scared to death when he saw it.

While crying, she shouted loudly: "Grandma, grandma, what's wrong with you? Someone come, my grandma has fainted." Zhao Fanye, who was only 13 years old, was so panicked that her hands were shaking.

After shouting several times, someone finally came in. It was Zhao Chenshi. She went out to hide the silver, but when she came back she found Zhao Baishi fainted.

"Hurry up and go to your second uncle's house at the end of the village to call for help." Zhao Chen was also really frightened. She helped Zhao Bai pinch her Ren Zhong point and urged Zhao Fanye to go and call for help.

At this time, most people were selling bamboo shoots at the end of the village. Zhao Fanye ran out immediately after hearing this.

Soon, everyone at the end of the village came to Old Zhao's house, and Zhao Guocheng's family also came.

Suspend the sale of bamboo shoots.

Zhao Guocheng went to the next village to find a doctor.

"Doctor Li, how is my mother?" Zhao Guocheng asked nervously.

Many people in the village are here now, mainly Zhao Fanye who shouted all the way to the end of the village. Almost everyone in the village knows that the last ounce of silver of the Zhao family was stolen, and Zhao Bai fainted from anger.

This matter even alarmed the village chief.

"You are angry, your blood is not flowing smoothly, your lung gate is blocked, and your qi is stagnant. You should rest, worry less, keep calm, and don't get too excited. I'll prescribe some medicine for you, and you will get better soon." Doctor Li gave instructions after taking your pulse, then took out a pen and paper and quickly wrote out a prescription.

"Get the medicine according to this prescription, one dose per day, and drink it twice a day. If you don't know how to boil the medicine, I will teach you when you come back." Doctor Li looked at Zhao Guocheng.

"Oh, I understand, sister-in-law, you heard it. I'll go get the medicine first, and I'll leave it to you to boil it when I come back." After Zhao Guocheng sent Doctor Li back, he went to the town to get the medicine.

Of course, the medical fee was prepared by Wang Ronghua and given to Zhao Guocheng in advance.

Wang Ronghua looked at Zhao Chen.

"Sister-in-law, what happened? How did the money in our house get stolen?" Wang Ronghua frowned and looked at Zhao Chen in confusion.

Zhao Chen was flustered for a moment and didn't know how to answer.

After a while, she said, "I don't know the details. When I came back, I saw my mother fainted and my second daughter Fanye was crying and shouting. I didn't have time to ask what happened. I just know that the money was stolen." Zhao Chen said half-truthfully, tears streaming down her cheeks.

Wang Ronghua frowned and turned to look towards the gate.

"Fellow villagers, have you noticed the movement here? Those who sold bamboo shoots should have gone home early. Have you seen any suspicious people staying here? Or any suspicious things?" Wang Ronghua asked.

The villagers looked at each other and shook their heads, indicating that they didn't know.

Wang Ronghua was helpless at this time, as she definitely could not get the money back.

At this time, Zhao Shimin arrived holding Zhao Shiying. Mainly because she was holding the child, Zhao Shimin couldn't walk fast and was tired, so she walked slowly.

[Mom, I know who took the money.] Zhao Shiying's cheerful voice came, clearly seeking credit.

Wang Ronghua turned to look at Zhao Shiying and hugged her in her arms.

"Dear girl, tell mother who it is?" Wang Ronghua moved closer to Zhao Shiying and said in a low voice.

[It’s my great aunt Zhao Chen, she hid the money.] Zhao Shiying grinned.

He had an expression on his face that seemed to be praising me quickly and was smiling particularly happily.

However, this sentence had a huge impact on Wang Ronghua.

Sister-in-law?

Why did the sister-in-law steal her mother-in-law's money?

Wang Ronghua looked at Zhao Chen in shock. At this time, Zhao Chen was still wiping her tears and crying very sadly.

Could it be my sister-in-law?

But Nannan has never said anything wrong, and everything Nannan said before has come true.

Wang Ronghua found it incredible.

At the same time, Zhao Shimin, Zhao Shisheng and Zhao Shihui also stared at Zhao Chen with wide eyes.

Is my aunt a thief?

"What's wrong with my second brother's wife?" Zhao Chen paused to wipe her tears and looked at Wang Ronghua in confusion.

She was actually a little worried, wondering if her second brother and sister-in-law had discovered something. But it was impossible. No one was present when she took the silver, except for her second daughter Zhao Fanye, who was learning needlework in the room.

Impossible to be discovered.

If you ask how Zhao Shiying discovered it, you can just think of it as the little cute baby having such extraordinary ability.

Sometimes she is cute and adorable, sometimes she is clever and eccentric with endless clever ideas, and sometimes she knows the truth herself.

However, Zhao Shiying was a little unhappy because she didn't get any praise from her mother.

"Nothing, I just feel a little confused." Wang Ronghua did not tell the truth.

The main reason is that there is no evidence and it is hard to believe why Zhao Chen would steal money. His four children were all eating and drinking in the old house. Instead of working hard to make money, he stole money. What was he thinking?

"What should we do? Is the silver just lost in vain?" Zhao Chen looked anxious on the surface, but secretly happy on the inside.

The surrounding villagers were also talking about it.

While cursing the silver thief, he doubted whether the Zhao family really still had any silver. After all, Zhao Guoguang had lost a lot of money because of selling his niece, and he still hadn't paid it off and had to pay it off with his body.

The remaining money was used by the third son, Zhao Guochang, to take the imperial examination. It was said that the money was given quite a bit, so people hoped that the third son would pass the exam, so that the Zhao family could also stand out.

At this time, it was discovered that the Zhao family still had one or two taels of silver, which showed that they had a deep foundation.

The women who had a grudge against him were all secretly happy. In the past, Zhao Bai was so arrogant that she offended people everywhere. Now, she was targeted by thieves and became a pauper. She was even fainted from anger. She was really unlucky.

When the village chief arrived, he didn't know where to start after learning about the situation. After all, there were no witnesses, no clues, and no way to start investigating.

This matter can only be left unresolved.

However, because Wang Ronghua promised the villagers to harvest bamboo shoots, he asked Zhao Chen to look after Zhao Bai and then went back to continue weighing the bamboo shoots. After all, the villagers were waiting.

After everyone’s bamboo shoots were weighed and the bill was paid, Zhao Shimin prepared to cook.

Wang Ronghua then hugged Zhao Shiying and asked, "Dear girl, tell me, where is the silver hidden?"
