"You still dare to lie? Gou Dan and the others said you were rummaging through the house. You even let them throw all their bedding on the floor and let them pee on it. You're really a scoundrel. That's your sister. She used to send so many things to the family. How could you do something like this?"

Everyone in the village knows about Lin Yue'e's past.

In order to subsidize her family, Gu, the educated youth, eventually left, and even abandoned his beautiful wife, Lin Yue'e. Although recently everyone has been saying that Lin Yue'e shouldn't have caused trouble with her family, everyone knows perfectly well who is right and who is wrong.

"Don't talk nonsense. You're just saying my son stole this money. If anyone saw it, I'll say it was your child who took it."

Seeing that everyone was pointing the finger at her son, and remembering how she had interrogated him for so long and how Jinbao had denied taking the money, only to immediately turn around and accuse her, Zhang Guifen concluded that these people must have stolen the money. Someone must be lying.

"Exactly, I didn't go alone yesterday, your kids all went together, and I even gave them candy. I never expected that someone would steal money and not tell me."

Lin Jinbao now shares the same thought as his mother: he's given out candy, but these brats have secretly stolen money from him and aren't even sharing it with everyone.

No, that money should be given to him directly. It's his sister's money, so it's essentially his own.

"What? You even took out candy?"

Zhang Guifen immediately rushed back into the house. Oh no! That candy was for this kid's wedding the day after tomorrow, and he actually took it out and gave it to these brats without even telling her. What a spendthrift!

Seeing his mother's strong reaction, Lin Jinbao cursed himself for blurting out the story of stealing candy from home.

He looked at his sister at the back of the crowd. "Sis, I really didn't steal the money. I... I couldn't even find it."

"I don't care, my money is gone. You say you don't have it, and they say they don't have it either. You can decide for yourselves who stole it. If they don't return the money, I'll go to the town and find the police. I refuse to believe I can't get my money back. Besides, you're getting married the day after tomorrow, so let the Li family know what kind of person you, Lin Jinbao, are."

No sooner had she finished speaking than Zhang Guifen rushed out of the house in a panic, and immediately began to beat Lin Jinbao mercilessly.

"You idiot! The candy we bought was for your wedding, and you gave half of it away. How could I have given birth to such a useless thing like you?"

Zhang Guifen was so angry that her face turned red and her neck bulged.

"Oh, Mom, it's just some candy. We'll share it with everyone anyway, so let's not talk about it now. My sister says she's going to report me. What should I do?"

Lin Jinbao would call his mother whenever he needed something.

"What? You brat, are you crazy? This is your brother, your own brother! You want to sue him? You dare to sue him? I'll fight you to the death!"

When Zhang Guifen heard that Lin Yue'e was actually going to sue her son, how could she not get angry? She shouted at Lin Yue'e from the back of the crowd.

"I'm going to sue the person who stole my money and food. Whoever stole it, I'll sue them."

Lin Yue'e had long since broken ties with the Lin family and didn't care about Zhang Guifen at all.

"Lin Jinbao, hand over the money and grain right now! How could you have such family members? Yue'e is pregnant. You can't be so heartless. You stole all of her belongings. Do you not want her to live?"

Grandma Gou Dan is quite a fighter. Anyway, she can't let her own child get involved in this.

"I really didn't take it, I... I just took some mixed noodles. Mom, let's just give the noodles back to her. As for the money, that's none of my business."

"If you didn't take it, who did? A whole bunch of you came into my house. Tell me, who took my money?"

Lin Yue'e looked at the children.

They were so frightened that they immediately waved their hands and rushed to answer that it wasn't them.

"I didn't even go inside. I just saw Gangzi urinate on your blanket. I didn't go into your room."

"I went in and stomped on it a few times, and then I... I came out after stomping on it."

One by one, the children were so frightened that they denied it. Some of the younger children were so timid that they burst into tears.

When Gou Dan Nai heard that it was indeed his own Gangzi who had peed on someone else's blanket, he started hitting Gangzi on the buttocks.

The sounds of slapping continued. Gangzi was only about eight or nine years old. He was being hit and crying loudly.

Lin Xiuhua, who lives next door, saw so many people as soon as she came out of her uncle's house.

Those kids were the ones who smashed up Lin Yue'e's door yesterday with Lin Jinbao. Then, seeing Lin Yue'e standing behind them, they immediately understood that someone had come looking for them.

"We really didn't steal any money. We just followed Lin Jinbao in. Only Lin Jinbao was ransacking the house. How could we dare to do that?"

After Gangzi was scolded by his grandmother, he immediately started crying and pointed at Lin Jinbao.

As if remembering something else: "And Uncle Tiedan, Uncle Tiedan went too."

"Yes, yes, and Zhang Tiedan too."

Lin Jinbao hadn't taken the money himself, and since the money was missing, and none of the younger children dared to steal it, he immediately suspected it was Zhang Tiedan. At the time, there were only the two adults in the house.

Zhang Tiedan suggested throwing all the bedding off the kang (a heated brick bed) so that people couldn't sleep, which would leave Lin Yue'e with no choice but to give in.

Now another person has been dragged into this. Lin Yue'e frowned at the thought of Zhang Tiedan; that bastard had flirted with her yesterday. She might as well drag him in and give him a piece of her mind.

"I'll go get him."

Dog Egg was afraid that his grandma would beat him again like she beat Gangzi, so he immediately ran to find Zhang Tiedan.

The village wasn't very big, and it didn't take long for Zhang Tiedan to arrive as well.

Seeing so many people, especially in front of the Lin family's house, made Zhang Tiedan feel uneasy.

"It was him. Yesterday, he made us throw all of Sister Yue'e's bedding on the ground and stomp on it. He even made me pee on it. He said it was okay, he'd take responsibility if anything happened."

Gou Dan cried until his eyes were swollen. He covered his buttocks with one hand and pointed at Zhang Tie Dan with the other.

Zhang Tiedan immediately became uneasy.

"Don't talk nonsense. You want it yourself..."

"You, Zhang Tiedan, dare to say you didn't instigate this? You're never involved in good things, but you're always involved in bad things. No wonder you can't find a wife."

Grandma Gou Dan thought that her family might have to compensate Lin Yue'e for new bedding, and she hated Zhang Tiedan even more.

"Now tell me, who stole my money? It was you guys. I don't care, if you don't hand over the money, I'll report you to the police in town, and I'll get the police to arrest you. A hundred yuan is no small sum."

That money was returned to me by my mother. Besides, Lin Jinbao, don't even think about not paying it back. If you don't, I'll go to the Li family and tell everyone in Xinghua Village about all the shady things you've done.

Let the people of Xinghua Village see what Li Chunlan has found.

"How dare you, Lin Yue'e! When will you ever stop? You're always causing trouble. We're your family. How can you treat your own family like this?"

Zhang Guifen didn't know how to persuade Lin Yue'e. She had already said what she needed to say, but her daughter simply wouldn't listen.

"Sis, it really wasn't me. I just wanted to teach you a lesson, but I really didn't steal your money."
