In the years of famine, the knife in my mother's hand is not bad either

At his mother's command, Wang Tianci took the key in his hand.

Insert the lock cylinder and twist gently.

Just listen to a 'click' sound.

The lock hanging above the money box was opened instantly!

As Wang Tianci pulled out the lock, the money box was completely unprotected.

Wang Wu shook the money box lightly, and the lid opened directly!

Revealing the situation inside!

Dozens of stones lay quietly in the box after colliding.

There are a few copper coins between the stones.

In the huge courtyard, several pairs of eyes were staring at the money box at the same time.

There was complete silence for a moment.

It's just that the sound of breathing becomes heavier as time goes by.

"money!"

"Fuchi!"

"Where's the money?" Wang Tianci looked at his second sister Wang Miaomiao with eyes full of resentment, breathing rapidly and shouting loudly.

Wang Miaomiao was frightened by his sudden voice, her body went limp and she fell to the ground.

A pair of eyes looked ahead, empty and lifeless.

He murmured in disbelief:

"Impossible...Absolutely impossible!"

"I've never opened the coin box, how could the silver inside be..."

"how come..."

Suddenly, Wang Miaomiao, who was muttering to herself, raised her head.

With eyes full of anger, he stared at Shen Qian and screamed like a madman:

"It's you!"

"You filled the money box with stones before you gave it to me!"

"All this was planned by you!"

Shen Qian looked at Wang Miaomiao's mad look and sneered in her heart: Even if I placed the stone in advance, what if you can guess it? But... who would believe it except you?

I originally thought that you had reformed and would no longer spy on Lin Jia Sanlang.

I didn't expect that he hated me so much in secret and was plotting to instigate those selfish people to rebel at home.

It's not my fault that I'm asking for trouble:

"Are you crazy?"

Just five words directly broke down Wang Miaomiao's fragile psychological defenses.

She was even more convinced that Shen Qian had planned this in advance and was waiting for her to take the bait.

But... she couldn't understand why her mother could plan this!

Seeing Wang Miaomiao's collapse and screaming but unable to utter any real words, Shen Qian's cold voice once again reached everyone's ears:

"I haven't touched the box where I kept my money since it came into your hands."

"Where did you hide the silver? I'll only give you tonight. If you don't see it by breakfast tomorrow, I'll report it to the police."

Seeing this, the neighbors started to speak:

"Hey! Wang Shenshi, that's not necessary! Miaomiao has been bewildered for a moment. Just ask her to take out the money!"

"Yes, yes, yes. Don't let this kind of thing ruin the child's reputation! Otherwise, it will be difficult for Miaomiao to find a husband in the future."

"Miaomiao, hurry up! Give the money back to your mother and stop making trouble!"

"..."

Listen to everyone's advice.

Wang Miaomiao looked ashen.

If she really took it, then taking it out again would not be a problem.

But the problem is... she has never touched the money, and she has no idea where it went!

Perhaps she was too desperate, and the scene of the evil mother returning home and questioning Qian Xia flashed through her mind.

It gave rise to hope in her heart again!

"Then report it to the police!"

"I found this money box at my mother's door this morning!"

"The thief must have taken the money by then, and left the cash box behind to trick us into not pursuing him!"

Her voice was frantic, but powerful.

The neighbors who were watching were stunned by what they said.

Some neighbors who knew what had happened before believed it immediately!

He also explained it to those around him who didn't understand.

But they believed it.

The eldest sister, Wang Qingliu, didn't believe it! She had watched Wang Miaomiao carry the money box out of her mother's room, so there was no thief.

When Wang Wu and his other brothers saw this, they were all confused.

Were there really thieves? Didn't my second sister, Wang Miaomiao, proactively discuss with them and try to take the money box from my mother?

When they were confused, they saw Wang Qingliu frowning and shouting at Wang Miaomiao:

"Second sister!"

"At a time like this..."

"Call the police!" Wang Miaomiao shouted loudly!

At this time, with so many people watching, Wang Qingliu must not be allowed to say it out loud.

Her chance of survival lies in reporting to the police!

Because only she herself knew that she really did not take the silver from her mother's money box!

"It seems that what Wang Miaomiao said is true." A neighbor walked closer and gently shook Shen Qian's arm.

Shen Qian glanced at her, then shouted to Wang Miaomiao:

"In that case, I'll go to the town and report it to the police in a few days!"

"I hope you didn't steal it!"

After saying this, Shen Qian apologized to the neighbors around her:

"I've wasted everyone's time and watched a misunderstanding."

"I'll report this to the authorities when I have time. In the meantime, remember to keep an eye on your money boxes. After all... food prices have skyrocketed for over a month, and many people can't afford to buy food."

"Hey! That's true. I have to find a way to transfer my money!" An old woman who was about the same age as Shen Qian said as she walked home on her own.

He also shouted to the other onlookers:

"It's all gone!"

Watching the neighbors disperse in front of my door.

Shen Qian sat in the yard and started eating as if nothing had happened.

The entire huge yard was filled with the sound of her chewing.

Wang Wu wanted to reach out to grab the dishes and chopsticks, but when he saw that the dishes and chopsticks were all next to Shen Qian, he was so scared that he withdrew his hand.

After eating and drinking, Shen Qian left the yard directly.

The seven sisters were left in a heavy atmosphere!

I watched my mother's back disappear completely from my sight.

The boss Wang Qingliu couldn't suppress his anger and shouted at Wang Miaomiao:

"Second!"

"If you don't explain the reason today, we will never forgive you!"

You know, this is related to his college entrance examination next year!

The money was embezzled by Wang Miaomiao. If she is willing to give it to me for my own use and for reference next year, it can be forgiven.

Wang Wu, Wang Tianci, Wang You and Wang Liang also stared at Wang Miaomiao.

From what my eldest brother said, there are no thieves at all.

It was Wang Miaomiao who took the money from the cash box!

"Kachi!"

"Kaka!"

In this depressing atmosphere, the sound of chewing lotus root suddenly reached everyone's ears.

Follow the sound.

I found out that it was the youngest sister, the seventh sister, who was eating with a bowl in her hand!

As if all this had nothing to do with her.

But when they thought about the age of the seventh sister, they felt relieved.

Children under ten years old have no use for money, so naturally they have no clear idea of ​​the significance of losing money.

Wang Miaomiao saw that everyone's eyes were still on her, as if they were interrogating a prisoner.

He slammed the table hard:

"boom!"

The loud noise frightened the third brother Wang Wu so much that he shrank his neck and dared not look at her again.

Wang Tianci stiffened his neck, not afraid of Wang Miaomiao at all, and shouted loudly:

"Second sister! You definitely can't keep this money by yourself!"

"Why don't you take it out and divide it equally among us brothers? Then when the police come, we will all speak up for you!"

When Wang You and Wang Liang heard the proposal of their fourth brother Wang Tianci, their eyes suddenly lit up!

Everyone agreed!

Although the eldest brother Wang Qingliu felt sorry that his younger brothers were squandering and wasting the money, he was reluctant to ask for it for himself.

This solution was accepted by default.

Unexpectedly, Wang Miaomiao also did the same as Xiaoqi, picked up the bowl and chopsticks and started eating by herself!

Answer... just one sentence:

"Report to the official!"

"I didn't take it anyway."
