"Lu Jinbao! How much money did you sneak into my house and steal? Even if you stole the money, why did you set fire to my house so viciously! How did our family fail you?" Lu Ziwan saw Lu Ziyuan.
Jin Bao woke up and asked with a fierce expression.
"I didn't mean it! I really didn't mean to set the house on fire. I just saw a half-cleaned fish in the kitchen. I was greedy and wanted to cook it myself. I squatted in the kitchen and ate the fish.
I thought that the sparks would accidentally fly to the haystack nearby. When I knew it, the fire was already very big. I really didn't mean to burn down the house." Lu Jinbao was frightened by Lu Ziyuan and explained quickly.
"Who can believe this! It must be you who ran into my house to steal all the money. After stealing all the money in my house, you even had evil intentions to burn down my house, just to see that we had no place to live and no money to live.
! You just can't see how well our family is doing!" Lu Ziyuan looked completely unbelieving, "I'm going to file a complaint with the official. Stealing people's money and houses is a serious crime. You must be punished by the official.
Beheaded!"
"No!" Lu Jinbao was frightened and cried. "You are talking nonsense. I didn't mean it. I was really careless. Moreover, I didn't steal all the money from your family. I turned over the third aunt's money."
I found three taels of silver in the house, only three taels of silver!"
Lu Ziyuan crossed her arms and looked at Chen Guihua. She had known for a long time that Lu Jinbao was not frightened, but was timid and afraid of death. As long as he was frightened, he would say anything, so she had a confident tone and temperament that knew everything.
He even brought out the official and the beheaded man. As expected, Lu Jinbao was so frightened that he said everything on his own.
"Chen Guihua, evidence, this thief admitted it in front of everyone, what more evidence do you want?" Lu Ziyuan looked at Chen Guihua with a sneer.
"Hey! How could this Brother Bao do such a thing? No matter how poor he is, he can't steal other people's money. Look at what kind of evil he has done. The new house that was just built last year was burnt down like this.
Everything inside was burned away!"
"The clothes, money, and house were all burned down. This really deserves to be killed by a thousand cuts. You can do such an immoral thing!"
"Brother Bao is 14 this year, why are you still so ignorant?"
The people who were watching began to accuse Lu Jinbao one after another. Lu Jinbao was so frightened that he quickly got up from the ground and ran towards Chen Guihua to hide behind her.
Originally, everyone had already criticized Lu Jinbao. Unexpectedly, Lu Jinbao's words afterward shocked everyone even more.
After Lu Jinbao hid behind Chen Guihua, he was no longer afraid. He took out three taels of silver from his arms and spread it in front of Chen Guihua's eyes, saying, "Mom, I looked for Third Aunt's house and Sister Wan's house.
I found three taels of silver in the house. How could it be as much as the one or two hundred taels you mentioned? Our family has more than that. Their family must have spent all the money on buying big fish and meat every day."
"Brother Bao, what are you talking about? When did mother tell you how much money they have?" Chen Guihua jumped anxiously upon hearing this and kept winking at Lu Jinbao.
It's a pity that Lu Jinbao is still not smart enough, and he still asks for credit stupidly, "Mom, you told me this morning. When I climbed the wall, you said, as long as I steal the money from my third aunt's house, you will give it to me too."
Buy candied haws and fish! Mom, you can’t lie! I stole three taels of silver, you have to buy me food!"
