Regardless of whether Lin Sanniu stole the money or not, he had to pay for it. Who told him to be a spineless man?
If the money was stolen by a thief in the house, it would be fine. Whoever stole the money would be exposed sooner or later. But if it was stolen by an outsider, the money would be gone. Therefore, someone had to make up for this loss, right?
Lin Sanniu’s family was the best candidate to suffer this fate.
Lin Sanniu was dumbstruck by Li Hehua’s question. Before he could react, Li Cuihua had already rushed up to him, beating and scolding him, “You ungrateful and unscrupulous thing. I provide you with food and a place to stay, and you steal from me? I’ll beat you to death. I really regret not strangling you to death when you were born. ”
Lin Sanniu’s face was red and swollen after being slapped by his mother. His body was also punched by Li Cuihua. However, Lin Sanniu seemed to be used to this kind of treatment. His eyes were calm and numb, and his expression was equally blank.
When Li Cuihua was done, she immediately asked again, “You ungrateful wretch, where did you hide the money? take it out for me.”
Lin Sanniu finally reacted. He replied in a daze, “Mother, I… I didn’t take it!” He lacked confidence.
“If you didn’t take it, who did?” Li Cuihua was forcing Lin Sanniu to admit it, “Didn’t eldest daughter-in-law say that she saw egg leftovers at the corner of your bastard’s mouth? If you didn’t take the money, where would your bastard get the egg?”
“No, mother, it was the village chief who gave Zu ‘Er some food yesterday. Mother, I really didn’t steal money.” Lin Sanniu explained in a daze.
Li Cuihua said disdainfully, “When has Lin Yiwei, that old coot, ever been kind to us? Plus, why would you take his donation? Are you a beggar? Do I not feed you at home?” Li Cuihua scolded Lin Sanniu and Lin Sanniu’s eldest son, Lin Dazu.
When Lin Dazu was scolded by his grandmother, he immediately hid behind his father. His eyes revealed an expression of fear and terror, and his face was also filled with panic.
Li Cuihua was furious when she saw him like this. She immediately went up to grab him and scolded him loudly, “you little brat, how dare you ignore your grandmother? It seems that if I don’t teach you a good lesson, you won’t understand respect!”
Then, she smacked Lin Dazu’s ass viciously. Lin Dazu immediately burst into tears.
“How dare you cry? I’ll beat you to death today, you little bastard!”
“Wuwu…”
“How dare you cry some more…”
“Enough!” Lin Laosan finally opened his mouth and shouted, “San ‘Er didn’t steal the money!” He was certain that his third son’s family would not have the guts to steal it.
Li Cuihua finally felt better after she vented her anger on Lin Sanniu and Lin Dazu. She shouted loudly, “if they didn’t steal it, who did?”
Lin Laosan’s face darkened. He suppressed his anger and shouted, “We’ll find out with evidence. Therefore, the culprit better admits it now, or else I won’t be polite even if I’m your father!” This money was for Lin Dazong’s education so it was very important.
No one stood out in admitting to the theft.
Lin Laosan’s eyes were sharp as he said sternly, “Fine. Since no one has admitted to it, then we’ll search the rooms one by one!”
He was very sure that it was definitely not stolen by an outside thief because it was impossible for a thief to know the places where Li Cuihua put her money.
No one dared to make a sound after hearing Lin Laosan’s words.
However, Liu Juhua’s eyes were filled with panic.
Lin Laosan looked at Lin Sanniu and said, “San ‘Er, we’ll start with your house!”
“Yes, father!” Lin Sanniu replied respectfully.
No one was allowed to leave until the thief was found. Li Cuihua brought the eldest and second daughter-in-law to carry out the search.
The house that Lin Sanniu’s family lived in did not even have any decent clothes, let alone money.
Li Hehua and Zhou Guixiang pursed their lips, looking down at Lin Sanniu and his family.
‘Hmph. This family is destined to be born to be our slaves.’
After that, they moved to Lin Siniu’s house.
