The younger sister-in-law falsely accused the sickly uncle and ran away with the baby

Qin Wanrou pulled Shen Jiaojiao behind her and said angrily, "How dare you! You can't keep an eye on things and throw dirty water on others. She just likes that little fox!"

At this time, Master Li came over from the side and knocked the ground fiercely with his cane. "My dear wife! Since everyone says that this little girl stole it, then it must be this little girl who stole it. You can't be so ungrateful. Do you still suspect that it was me, an old man?"

Qin Wanrou was a little surprised by Master Li's sudden joining, "Dad! I didn't say you stole it, but it definitely wasn't Shen Jiaojiao."

When the Shen family and the Yu family heard the noise, they rushed over quickly.

Yu Tian pulled Shen Jiaojiao to his side distressedly and said righteously, "Shen Jiaojiao would never do such a thing. Their family has no shortage of food. It's you who can't control it. Why are you throwing dirty water on her?"

Shen Jiaojiao pulled Yu Tian's sleeve with red eyes, feeling very aggrieved.

Village Chief Shen also quickly said: "I think there is a misunderstanding. My daughter is definitely not the kind of person who would steal things."

Shen Chengye said coldly, "Dad! I think what Master Li said makes sense. Jiaojiao comes here every day and always brings back some strange food, but never shares it with me and his sister-in-law! Isn't this a guilty conscience?"

Zhang Huiyun also echoed: "Dad! Jiaojiao has been spoiled by you. She just came here to steal food."

Shen Jiaojiao was so angry that tears immediately came down, "Brother! Sister-in-law! That was given to me by Ruyue!"

Shen Chengye frowned and interrupted her, "Jiaojiao! You're not a child anymore. What's the point of crying all day? Besides, Yu Ruyue is just a peasant girl. Where did she get all those exotic foods? Take the peach you ate a few days ago, for example. It's not something someone like him can afford. Only someone like Master Li can afford it!"

Upon hearing such compliments, Master Li straightened his back, raised his head, and said proudly, "That's right! How could a lowly peasant like Yu Ruyue have such exotic food? Everything belongs to my Li family."

"However! My Li family is wealthy and powerful, so I won't pursue this matter with you."

Qin Wanrou frowned. Her father-in-law had always been stingy, so how could he possibly say he wouldn't pursue the matter? And it was clearly not Shen Jiaojiao's doing. How could she, alone, steal the rations for more than a dozen people?

Just as she was about to speak, Yu Ruyue walked out from the crowd and said, "Even if you don't pursue the matter, Jiaojiao will."

"You're just talking nonsense? Do you have any evidence to prove it?"

When Shen Jiaojiao saw Yu Ruyue coming, she immediately abandoned Yu Tian, hugged Yu Ruyue, and cried so hard that her body was shaking.

Yu Tian watched from the side, clenching his fists in anger, wishing he could beat up all those who slandered Shen Jiaojiao.

Master Li sneered, "Anyone with a discerning eye can see that. What more evidence do you need?"

Yu Ruyue snorted coldly, "Who figured it out? How come I didn't know? Why don't you just say it directly, Master Li?"

Master Li opened his mouth and pointed at the little fox next to him, "She comes here every day to watch the little beast, can't that be considered evidence?"

Yu Ruyue looked at Master Li's vacant eyes and said sarcastically, "I often come to see the little fox, so am I also a suspect? If so, in order to rid myself of suspicion, I am willing to help the eldest young lady catch the thief."

To be honest, Master Li was a little frightened by Yu Ruyue's pointed gaze. To prevent her from finding out anything, he tried to stop her with a smile, "This is my family's personal business. How can you trouble Miss Yu? It's just a little food. We have plenty of food."

"We're all just trying to survive, so why would we be so fussy? Okay, I'll make the decision. Let's just drop this matter here. No need to investigate further."

Yu Ruyue smiled and refused, "No! If I don't investigate thoroughly, whoever loses food will blame me. Then what's the point of living? For the sake of my reputation, I must get to the bottom of this matter."

Master Li cursed in his heart. He never threw any dirty water on this dead girl from the beginning to the end!

Moreover, her reputation was extremely bad throughout Lu County.

Many people came to her house and told her to die! But she not only refused to listen, but also went back to those people's homes, kicked the door one by one, cursed at them, and said they had no male ethics.

A person like this still cares about his reputation?!

Moreover, such matters naturally should not be interfered with by others, so he quickly gave a wink to his eldest daughter-in-law.

But Qin Wanrou acted as if she didn't see it and took Yu Ruyue's hand. "Then I'll trouble you, sister."

Mr. Li was so angry that he knocked the ground hard with his cane. However, no one paid any attention to him. He turned around and left in anger.

After everyone left, Qin Wanrou patted Shen Jiaojiao's hand again and apologized to her solemnly, "Sister Jiaojiao! I'm so sorry for making you feel wronged."

After she finished speaking, she took off a green bracelet from her wrist and put it on Shen Jiaojiao's wrist.

Shen Jiaojiao's eyes were red. Although she felt very aggrieved, she also knew that this had nothing to do with Qin Wanrou, so she hurriedly refused. In the end, Yu Ruyue held their hands together, and Shen Jiaojiao took the bracelet and went back first.

Beside them, Shen Chengye and Zhang Huiyun looked at the emerald green jade bracelet, their teeth itching with jealousy. "Wow! How can sister Jiaojiao be so lucky? She stole other people's food and now she can get a jade bracelet."

Shen Chengye snorted coldly, "Our family is not so poor that we can't even afford to eat. How can you still do such sneaky things? Jiaojiao, you really disappoint me."

To be honest, Shen Jiaojiao has always felt guilty, thinking that it was her fault that led to the separation of the family, so she tried to make amends and wanted her father and eldest brother to reconcile as before, but now she found that no matter how hard she tried, her eldest brother would never be able to go back to the way he was before, unless she had nothing, heard that her eldest brother and sister-in-law arranged for her to marry an old man, or she died!

But why?

What did she do wrong?

Just when she was about to open her mouth to retort, Yu Tian stood in front of her again, blocking her from that vicious gaze. "I've never seen a brother or sister-in-law take the initiative to throw dirty water on their own sister!"

"Why? You can only be happy if Jiaojiao is killed by you."
