After transmigrating into the body of a widow, I became the richest man in the capital.

Chapter 348 The Widow Steals Jam

Su Xiaoxiao spoke to Su Wangcai privately, telling him to keep a low profile for now.

Leave this matter to her to handle. Don't make a fuss about it yet. After all, Su Xiaoxiao still needs to deal with the fact that there's a thief in the house. Otherwise, as the saying goes, "You can guard against a thousand things, but it's hard to guard against a thief in your own home," and that's absolutely true.

She dared not make a fuss. She hadn't even told Su Ping'an about it. She knew that the people in the workshop were all long-time employees who had worked for Su Xiaoxiao for so long. She knew their temperaments and character very well. She would never hire someone with questionable conduct.

The only newcomer here is Widow Bi, who successfully blackmailed Su Xiaoxiao by using the small stone to spy on her.

This woman's bad reputation wasn't just limited to her lifestyle. Who would have thought she'd also commit petty theft? At this moment, Su Xiaoxiao felt she had to find out the truth and catch this thief.

So, Su Xiaoxiao asked Xiao Taohua to keep an eye on Widow Bi's whereabouts these past few days.

Little Peach Blossom quickly provided the information, saying that Widow Bi would pretend to go to the toilet during her lunch break these days, when everyone was out of the workshop, and then sneak back to the workshop for a while.

During those days, Su Wangcai was out delivering goods and couldn't stay in the warehouse to keep watch, so he didn't know the specific situation inside.

It seems that Su Xiaoxiao's guess was correct; the problem likely lies with Widow Bi, who recently joined their workshop.

Little Peach Blossom also said that every time she saw Widow Bi walking out of the workshop alone, the hem of her dress would always bulge out a lot.

Su Xiaoxiao knew what was going on and told Xiao Taohua not to make a fuss; she was planning to catch the thief when she had the chance.

This day also happened to be the day the goods were delivered to town, so let's take this opportunity to see if we can catch this big scoundrel.

Everyone went out for their lunch break, and sure enough, Widow Bi returned to the workshop alone. She looked very suspicious, which aroused Su Xiaoxiao's suspicion.

Su Xiaoxiao initially couldn't believe it was all true, but Widow Bi's whereabouts were too suspicious.

At noon, everyone in the workshop goes home for lunch, and an hour is set aside for the workers to go home and eat.

However, everyone had gone home by then, and the workshop door was locked. How did Widow Bi manage to get into the workshop?

Su Xiaoxiao saw that Widow Bi had climbed in through the window, and she herself had done it without any trickery.

After she skillfully climbed over there, Su Xiaoxiao was left questioning her life. Was Widow Bi a master of unparalleled lightness skill? Did this woman know lightness skill?

No one expected that she would quickly enter the workshop's warehouse after climbing onto the windowsill, and when she came out, there was a large bulge inside her dress.

Perhaps she was afraid of being discovered, which is why she hid. Su Xiaoxiao saw her very skillful movements in the yard, a series of actions as smooth as flowing water.

It seems she's done this kind of thing quite often, so Su Xiaoxiao really feels sorry for Widow Bi now. Such good lightness skill wasted!

Now things got awkward. When Widow Bi landed on the ground as lightly as a swallow, she ended up facing Su Xiaoxiao.

Su Xiaoxiao pretended to be very puzzled and said, "Why didn't you go to eat? Why did you come back and jump out the window?"

Widow Bi was terrified; she was naturally afraid that her secret would be exposed.

"Why has your belly gotten bigger? You're a widow!" Su Xiaoxiao pointed at the widow's dress in front of her. She hurriedly pulled her dress up and said with a flustered smile, "No, I've just gained weight recently."

Su Xiaoxiao said in a very disdainful tone, "Anyone who doesn't know better would think you're pregnant again."

Widow Bi's face turned red and white, unsure how to explain herself.

But when Widow Bi saw that Su Xiaoxiao was alone, she began to feel less afraid. After all, in her eyes, Su Xiaoxiao was just an innocent little girl.

Widow Bi was a seasoned veteran and not particularly afraid of such a small situation; she simply felt that Su Xiaoxiao probably couldn't do anything to her.

She hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said, "Actually, it's like this. I left my key in our workshop, and if I go home for dinner now, I can't get inside!"

Upon hearing this, Su Xiaoxiao thought to herself that Widow Bi's ability to react on the spot was not bad; she was able to come up with such an excuse to fob her off.

Thinking of this, Su Xiaoxiao didn't expose her, but kindly reminded her, "Oh, is that so? You can just ask me for the key later. If you climb that high by yourself, be careful not to fall. Hey, why are you holding up your skirt the whole time? Aren't you tired?"

Upon hearing Su Xiaoxiao's words, Widow Bi felt a little uncomfortable, and then dodged the question, "Well, I'll go back and cook first, so as not to delay my work this afternoon!"

She had only taken a few steps when she was approached by Su Wangcai, Su Pingan, Xiao Taozi, and some other employees from the factory.

I don't know why, but now everyone has come back together. Instead of going home for dinner, they've come here to watch a good show.

However, this performance was carried out behind someone's back. Although the other factory employees didn't know the specific details, they were all invited to watch the show.

At first, they were kept in the dark, but now they see why Widow Bi was surrounded and prevented from leaving.

Finally, everyone started wondering what had happened.

Actually, everyone was still in the dark. Why weren't they going home for lunch? What kind of show were they trying to put on?

Widow Bi's face began to look unpleasant, increasingly resembling a purple sheep's liver.

"What are you..."

Su Xiaoxiao walked up to her and raised her hand in front of her as if she was about to slap her. Widow Bi quickly covered her face with both hands, but realized that she had made a mistake. The hands that were holding her skirt and supporting the two jars of jam had to let go, and the two stolen jars of jam fell to the ground and broke.

Orange marmalade was spilled all over the ground. The marmalade was incredibly sweet, and the air was instantly filled with its aroma.

At this moment, everyone began to understand what had happened. "So, it turns out that Widow Bi took advantage of her lunch break to go back to the workshop and steal jam!"

"That's a thief!"

Widow Bi's face flushed red instantly, and she lowered her head.

Just now, she was leaping up to that high windowsill with the agility of a swallow.
Now, however, he seems like a little chick, too afraid to speak in front of others.
