Chapter 245: Fetching water from a bamboo basket is in vain
Jian Xun thought it was an illusion caused by being too tired, so he raised his head and drank the remaining half glass of water.
The moment I drank the water, it seemed as if all the fatigue and turbidity in my body were washed away, leaving only relaxation and comfort.
Now, Jian Xun was sure that this was definitely not his imagination. This water really had miraculous effects.
He calmly glanced at Yun Mo, who was talking to Zeng Fang, and put the cup into his coat pocket.
After everyone in Yunmo left, the young man pretended to have just returned home and shook Li Li and Zhu Hongping awake.
Li Li and Zhu Hongping woke up one after another. Before the mother and daughter could react, the young man immediately explained: "I'm really sorry for keeping you waiting for so long. My friend has something to do."
After he went out, I waited for a long time before he came back, but I didn't expect that you all fell asleep while waiting."
With that said, the motorcycle boy handed 30 yuan to Li Li, "Sister, please keep this money, plus the 20 yuan given at the beginning, the total is 50, which is the amount we agreed on."
Seeing the money, Li Li and Zhu Hongping immediately became energetic and forgot about other things.
After Li Li pocketed the money, the young man on the motorcycle said attentively: "It's so late, and my legs are inconvenient. Where do you live? I'll take you back on my motorcycle."
Li Li and Zhu Hongping would certainly not refuse free rides.
It was already late, there were no pedestrians on the road, and the motorcycle quickly arrived at the door of Ling's house.
Seeing Zhu Hongping holding his grandson Ling Jiale in his arms, he couldn't help Li Li, so the motorcycle guy took the initiative to help Li Li out of the car.
"Sister, aunt, you go back and have a rest early, then I will leave first."
After struggling all night, Li Li and Zhu Hongping were both tired, so they let each other leave after a few lectures.
Ling Jiang had just returned home from doing business and was boiling water in the kitchen to take a bath. When he saw Li Li limping back from outside, he subconsciously asked with concern: "What's wrong with your foot?"
"Hit by a motorcyclist."
Hearing that Li Li had been hit by a car, Ling Jiang stepped forward and helped her into the house, then looked at her fixed ankle and asked, "Is the injury serious?"
Li Li glanced at him and said, "The doctor said that you need to stay in bed and not work."
"Then you should have a good rest these days. I will do the work at home."
Hearing her husband's words, Li Li felt quite comfortable.
Zhu Hongping put the sleeping Ling Jiale on the bed, covered him with a quilt, and turned to wink at his daughter.
Li Li said to her husband Ling Jiang knowingly: "My mother is taking care of you in the house. Go and boil more water. You have been working all night and your body is covered in sweat."
"good."
After Ling Jiang went out, Zhu Hongping immediately closed the door and turned to Li Li to whisper: "Li, I'm telling you, don't tell your son-in-law about the money."
Li Li nodded, "I know."
Thinking of the warm 50 yuan, Li Li felt so happy that she stretched her hand into her pocket and was stunned.
Where's the money?
She quickly touched the other pocket, but it was still empty.
Li Li was a little anxious. She lowered her head and touched all her pockets and trouser pockets, but there was still nothing!
Seeing her like this, Zhu Hongping on the side asked hurriedly: "What's wrong?"
Li Li was anxious and angry, "Mom, the money is gone..."
"Why is it missing? Didn't you put it in your pocket?"
As he spoke, Zhu Hongping turned over Li Li's pockets and trouser pockets with his own hands. They were all clean and there was no sign of a penny.
"Did it get lost somewhere?"
Li Li and Zhu Hongping carefully searched the room and bed several times, but couldn't find it. They lit candles and walked all the way out, even looking outside the door, but still couldn't find it.
Zhu Hongping thought of something and hurried into the kitchen, "Son-in-law, did you pick up anything just now?"
Ling Jiang shook his head blankly, "No, what's wrong?"
Zhu Hongping didn't believe that the money was lost like this. She thought that her son-in-law must have picked it up and immediately went to search her body.
Ling Jiang couldn't stop him, so he had to let her search.
Some money was found, but it was not the money that Li Li had lost.
All the money given by the motorcycle boy was 5 yuan and 10 yuan in lump sum, and all the money Ling Jiang had was the 1.5 cents he received from selling trinkets.
Zhu Hongping didn't believe in evil and ran to search in the house where Ling Jiang lived. After searching for a long time, he couldn't find it, so he ran to Ling Chunhua's room to look for it.
Ling Chunhua was already asleep, but she was pulled up from the bed by Zhu Hongping.
The entire Ling family was turned upside down by Zhu Hongping, and there was still no trace of the 50 yuan.
This made Li Li and Zhu Hongping very angry, "What the hell, can you still get away with that money?"
"Did it get lost on the way back?"
Upon hearing Ling Jiang's reminder, Zhu Hongping immediately took Ling Jiang out to help look for him.
Ling Jiang had no choice but to borrow a flashlight from someone and accompanied Zhu Hongping along the route the mother and daughter took back.
Li Li had a leg injury and could only wait at home, but she was not idle either, racking her brains to recall the details of her return.
As she was thinking about it, she suddenly remembered that when she got off the car, the young man on the motorcycle helped her and his hand seemed to have touched her waist.
He must have stolen the money!
—
The motorcycle boy's name is Xu Gang, he is Xu Lixue's distant nephew, and he now works for Xu Lixue.
After Xu Gang completed his mission, he got on his motorcycle and turned around to meet Xu Lixue and Yun Mo.
"Uncle, Miss Yun, I got the money back."
After parking the motorcycle, Xu Gang immediately returned the 50 yuan that he "touched" from Li Li's pocket to Yun Mo.
Yun Mo didn't answer, but smiled and said to Xu Lixue: "Boss Xu, you have worked hard today. Let this money be regarded as your hard work."
Seeing Yun Mo's generosity, Xu Lixue and Xu Gang's uncle and nephew were particularly happy.
"Thank you, Miss Yun."
"You're welcome. Li Li and Yun Yao, please keep an eye on me and let me know if there is any trouble."
"sure."
After a few words of explanation, Xu Lixue took Xu Gang and left, while Yun Mo turned around and returned to Yao Cheng's car.
"Cousin, take Momo home first. She lives over there on Guoxing Road."
After the car started, Zeng Fang took Yun Mo and asked, "Momo, please tell me, boss, how much did they spend? You ran all over the place to help me. I can't let you spend any more money. I will give you the money tomorrow."
for you."
"Don't worry about the money. We'll wait until this matter is completely resolved."
Zeng Fang held her arm and rested her head on her shoulder in emotion, "Momo, thank you. If it weren't for you this time, I really can't imagine what the consequences would be."
Yun Mo smiled and touched her face, "Don't worry, even without me, there will be other heroes who will come down to earth to save you from the fire and water."
Zeng Fang was amused, "How should I thank you this time, my unparalleled hero?"
Yun Mo smiled, "I owe you for now."
"Oh, then I owe you a lot. I don't even know when I will be able to pay it back."
While talking, Yun Mo saw a familiar figure in the distance with her peripheral vision, and quickly asked Yao Cheng to pull over.
