Chapter 2581 Hesitant to speak
Because no words can comfort Qing'er's sadness.
"You don't need to comfort me, I'm fine," Yang Ruoqing said, seemingly guessing Zhao Liuer's hesitation.
"You feed Hong'er first, and I'll go to the backyard to give Laba porridge to grandma and the others. I'll come over to see you later," she added.
Zhao Liuer nodded and watched Yang Ruoqing leave.
Yang Ruoqing came to the east room of the backyard and explained her purpose to Lao Yangtou and Mrs. Tan.
Because of the incident of breaking into the house, stealing money, and pushing Jin to unconsciousness, the atmosphere in the east room was a bit low and depressing at the moment.
Old Yangtou and Mr. Tan were sitting at the table facing each other, one was smoking a cigarette and the other was talking to himself.
After listening to Yang Ruoqing's words, Old Yangtou directly pulled out the dry tobacco stick from his mouth and said: "Say thank you to your mother for me. You will always think about us two old people no matter what you eat."
Yang Ruoqing nodded and turned to leave, but was stopped by Old Yangtou.
"Qing'er, who do you think did this?" he asked.
Yang Ruoqing was stunned for a moment and shook her head: "It's hard to say."
Lao Yangtou said: "Then do you think you are an outsider or one of our own?"
Yang Ruoqing smiled and said, "It's hard to say. After all, there is no ironclad evidence."
Old Yangtou sighed and put the dry tobacco stick into his mouth again.
Tan said: "How can there be such a lawless thief? I think it's probably a mole!"
Old Yang glared at Tan. Although Tan couldn't see it, Old Yang still glared deeply.
"What are you talking nonsense? None of the children and grandchildren of our old Yang family have ever had such a person!" Old Yang said.
"If you don't have any children or grandchildren, it doesn't mean that you don't have any of those with other surnames." Tan said directly.
"The guy in the room opposite has never had clean hands and feet."
"The fourth child has been away for half a year and hasn't sent back even half a penny. It's the end of the year and I can't keep it all. The lazy and greedy woman couldn't bear it anymore, so she went back to her old job."
"She used to steal eggs and old hens. How can she not steal this money? It must be her!" said Tan.
Old Yangtou said: "When you speak or do something, you must have evidence, and you cannot rely on suspicion."
Tan said: "Those things that happened in the past are evidence. Qing'er, do you think what I said is right?"
Yang Ruoqing said: "The fourth aunt's hands and feet are indeed not very clean, but this time, I personally feel that it was not her who did it."
"Ah? Are you helping her clear her name?" Tan asked in surprise.
"In the past, she often stole eggs and lard from your third wife, and you helped her clean up her name!" Mrs. Tan said angrily.
Yang Ruoqing shook her head, "The fourth aunt's behavior before did not sound like she had a guilty conscience. I can tell that she didn't do it."
"Moreover, the aunt didn't even look at the fourth aunt. If it was really the fourth aunt who recommended it, the eyes and expressions of both of them would be abnormal."
Tan groaned and said, "I still think she looks like a thief!"
Here, Old Yang took over the conversation, "Qing'er, what do you think we should do about this matter?"
Yang Ruoqing said: "It depends on what you plan to do."
"What do you mean?" the old man asked.
Yang Ruoqing smiled and said: "If I want big things to be reduced to small things and small things to be nothing, then forget it."
"I'd like to remind you all to close the doors and windows and pay attention to the safety of your property. The two taels of silver from Third Brother's side are just bad luck."
"If I have to find out that person, let's just set up a situation and let that person reveal himself."
"It's just that Grandpa is mentally prepared, because if he can't protect that person, it's true as Nai said, he's either an outsider or an insider."
"If that's the case, it won't look good, so it depends on what you think." Yang Ruoqing said.
After hearing these words, Old Yangtou was silent for a moment.
Then, he finally spoke up.
"That's all, I won't pursue it this time. Let's give everyone a heads up, and also give that person a heads up. If there is another time, it will really not look good!" he said.
Yang Ruoqing pursed her lips and guessed that the face-loving old Yangtou would definitely answer like this.
I left the east room and returned to the front yard.
Zhao Liuer's mood has improved a lot and she is cleaning up the messed up house.
Hong'er was sitting on the bed, eating a snack with a piece of snack in his hand.
Yang Ruoqing and Zhao Liu'er exchanged a few words and then left. When they passed Jin's house, the door was open.
She glanced inside and saw Mr. Jin sitting on a stool, looking straight at her, as if she had not recovered from her consciousness.
Yang Yongxian stood behind Jin, holding a bottle of wound medicine powder in his hand and applying it to Jin's head.
Yang Ruoqing looked inside again and didn't see Yang Yongqing.
She glanced at Yang Yongqing's house again. The door was locked, which showed that he was not in the house.
Where are you going this early in the morning?
A trace of doubt flashed across Yang Ruoqing's eyes.
After returning home, I found that Mrs. Sun hadn't eaten the porridge either.
"Why don't you eat?" Yang Ruoqing asked.
Sun said: "I was afraid that Xiao An would be hungry, so I gave him a bowl first. I'll wait for you and your father to come back and eat together."
"My father hasn't come back yet?" Yang Ruoqing asked.
Mrs. Sun said: "I'm going to give it to your sister-in-law. I think she'll be back soon."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Huazhong strode in from the outside, humming a little tune and looking in a good mood.
"Okay, your father is back, let's start eating too," said Sun.
Sisters Xiaohua and Xiaoduo gave Laba porridge to Xiao Yaxue and Yang Ruolan, and Mrs. Sun gave it to Lao Luo and Tuoba Xian.
By this time, the gifts were almost done, and everyone sat down in a relaxed mood to start enjoying themselves.
Yang Ruoqing told Yang Huazhong and Sun what happened at the old house.
"What? Is there such a thing?" Yang Huazhong and Sun were shocked.
Yang Ruoqing nodded, "I asked everyone to pay attention and be on guard."
Yang Huazhong frowned and remained silent.
Sun was shocked and scared, but her curiosity was also aroused.
"Qing'er, is there anyone who has doubts?" she asked.
Yang Ruoqing shook her head, "Auntie must know, but Auntie doesn't want to give any hint."
Even if she is deaf and mute, she can tell everyone who pushed her down if she wants to.
The person who pushed her must be the person who stole Zhao Liuer's money.
"My grandma also asked me this before, but I didn't say anything because there was no evidence." Yang Ruoqing continued.
"But actually, I think there is someone who is very suspicious," she said.
"Which one?" Sun asked quickly.
Yang Ruoqing said: "Little cousin Yang Yongqing."
"Ah?" Mrs. Sun was shocked and opened her mouth wide.
"No way?" the woman asked.
Yang Ruoqing said: "There is no evidence, but I have a feeling that it is him. Otherwise, Auntie would not defend him like this and refuse to tell anyone who pushed her!"
"Qing'er is right." Yang Huazhong, who had been silent, spoke up.
