I wish you a long life and good health, and great merits.

When Luo Meihua left, the bag containing her jewelry was a little wrinkled.

When Meng Guolei saw Luo Meihua coming back, he immediately went to greet her.

"Where's Qingqing? Why didn't she come with you? Did she go back to the bridal chamber? I even froze a watermelon for you guys to eat when you get back."

"I just finished buying jewelry, and she received a work call, so she went to deal with the work first, so I came back first."

Meng Guolei stared at the bag with fiery eyes, "How is it? How much?"

"With me here, what are you afraid of? 38."

"so much?"

"This is just for our family of four. Qingqing also spent 16 yuan to buy two for herself, a total of 54 yuan."

"Take it out and see how the bag got wrinkled."

"Of course I have to hold on to something worth 54 yuan. It's in great condition. I'll take out your 8 yuan and show it to you."

Luo Meihua took out Meng Guolei's bracelet box with a smile on her face, but was stunned when she opened it. There was a black stone in the box.

It's not just black, the key is that it's ugly.

Meng Guolei's mouth twitched, "This black thing is worth more than 8? Where did you buy it? You got cheated." This thing is worth more than 8, and I don't even want it if it's sold to me for eight yuan. What kind of thing did you choose? What kind of vision?

Luo Meihua was so anxious that she started to cry, "This is not what we bought. It's wooden beads and golden Diaochan."

Luo Meihua quickly reached into the bag and took out another item. When she opened it, it was still a black stone.

Luo Meihua did not give up, so she poured out all her jewellery and opened the boxes in a hurry, only to find that they were all black stones.

"How could this happen? We clearly bought gold jewelry, three gold bracelets, two bracelets, and two necklaces. How come they all turned into stone? Wuwuwu..."

Meng Guolei also realized the seriousness of the matter, "Shut up! Why are you crying? Is now the time to cry?

Let me ask you, are you sure Qingqing bought gold jewelry? Did you see her put the gold jewelry into the bag with your own eyes? "

"Are you sure? I spent 54 to buy it, and I put it in right under my nose. There must be no problem."

"What about the bag? Did it ever leave your sight? Was it swapped?"

"No, although Qingqing was carrying it at the beginning, I was with her the whole time and I never took my eyes off the bag. I have always been very careful to protect it. I don't know how it was replaced. I didn't feel anything at all."

"After Qingqing left, what about you? Think about it quickly, it will be too late if you are late."

"When I came back, I saw the lottery and tried my luck, but I was keeping an eye on the bag..."

Luo Meihua was interrupted by Meng Guolei before she could finish her words. "Are you stupid? Why are you hanging around with something worth more than 50 yuan? How much is that prize worth? Call the police right away. Maybe we can get it back."

Meng Guolei immediately took Luo Meihua to the police station to report the case.

The Public Security Bureau was also very helpful and immediately retrieved the surveillance footage of Luo Meihua after she came out of the gold shop.

It looked fine at first, with no major problems. But then when we got to the lottery venue, it was so crowded that we could only see half of Luo Meihua's head.

Luo Meihua shouted, "I'm holding it well."

Meng Guolei looked at the crowded crowd and felt that most of the problem lay here. He even wanted to slap Luo Meihua, the brainless one.

There are so many people and it’s crowded. If they are holding a bag of gold jewelry, who else would they target if not you?

When the police heard what Luo Meihua said, they continued to check the video after the lottery. Luo Meihua had no problems on her way back.

The police said, "The problem should be with the lottery, but because of the surveillance, Ms. Waiga Luo was standing in the crowd. I couldn't see what happened at all. It's a bit difficult to recover it through surveillance, so I can only try fingerprints."

But the fingerprints on the box were all correct, and the stone only had the fingerprints of Meng Guolei and his wife. In the end, Meng Guolei and his wife worked for most of the day, only to be told to go back and wait for notification.

"What should I do? How should I explain? I was clearly holding the bag with both hands, how did it get switched? Can the police find it back?"

"What should I do? Just ignore it? 54 yuan, just gone like that. There are so many people, and we can only see the backs of their heads. How can we get them back? Gone, all gone." Meng Guolei felt heartbroken just thinking about it.

"I really didn't mean it, wuwuwu... Why was I so greedy to join in the fun? 54 is gone just like that." Luo Meihua was also heartbroken and slapped herself twice.

"Alright, cry, cry, what's there to cry about? Now think about how to explain to Qingqing. I'll call Ji Yuan to discuss it."

When Meng Jiyuan heard that Song Qingqing spent 54 yuan to buy gold jewelry today, he didn't have time to be happy before he found out that the 54 yuan worth of gold jewelry was taken away by Luo Meihua. Meng Jiyuan's heart sank immediately.

"Dad, you're kidding, right?"

"No, we've called the police, but the raffle was so crowded that we couldn't see anything except the back of their heads. There were many people whose faces we didn't even see after the event ended, so there's little hope of getting them back."

"What are you doing, mom? You're holding something so expensive, aren't you paying attention?"

"I scolded your mother, and she regretted and blamed herself. Should we tell Qingqing about this? You tell us? Or should we tell her?"

"Let mom talk. Let mom pretend to be sick and get sympathy..." Meng Jiyuan's voice stopped abruptly, because Meng Jiyuan suddenly thought of what Song Qingqing told him a few days ago about Wei Xiuxue and her mother-in-law.

If Mom said this to Qingqing, would Qingqing be more vigilant? Would she suspect that Mom was cheating her out of money just like Wei Xiuxue's mother-in-law? If Qingqing's suspicion was aroused and Qingqing's attention was drawn to her, would she still give the money so easily if she asked her for it later?

No, no, Qingqing cannot know about this for the time being.

"What's wrong? Ji Yuan? Why aren't you talking?"

"Dad, I just thought about it again and again. Qingqing can't know about this."

Meng Guolei frowned, "But the item is lost. I can't spend 54 to buy it again, right? Even if I want to buy it, my family doesn't have that much money. We only have 30 in savings."

"Dad, Qingqing just got married and this is the first time she's spending money on us. If something goes wrong, I'm afraid it will attract Qingqing's attention and make her feel disgusted, and then we'll lose more than we gain.

Some time ago, Qingqing's colleague was tricked into buying a gold bracelet by her mother-in-law. She said it was lost right after she bought it, but in fact she had given it away.

This topic is already sensitive in their office, and we are also doing this. Isn't this just arousing speculation for no reason? What if Qingqing lets it slip and arouses suspicion from her colleagues, and Qingqing starts to be wary of our family? "

"We don't have any money, we can't borrow it, right?"

"If it's Qingqing's, just buy her a real one. If it's ours, just take a photo and make a silver-gilded one.

We can also make a fuss about this matter in the future. When the time is right, we can say that we couldn't bear to make Qingqing unhappy, so we borrowed money to buy her a new one. When Qingqing is touched, won't she return the money? "

"Okay, Dad will listen to you."
