Mo Bei held a red couplet in his hand and gestured on the wooden door.
Gu Anran led Leilei and stood five meters away, watching, "No, it's too high. Come down a little more."
Mo Bei's hand moved downward, "Is it aligned like this?"
"Well, it's almost done this time, stick it on!"
Leile suddenly broke free from Gu Anran's hand and ran while shouting, "Mom! Dad!"
Leilei threw herself into Yang Tao's arms and pulled her to see the red fire all over the yard.
"Look, my second uncle and second aunt and I made these together."
"Leilei, be good." Yang Tao's voice was choked with sobs. She didn't want Leilei to see her crying, so she turned away and wiped away the tears that fell.
Gu Anran's eyes followed Leilei, and she could see the strangeness of Yang Tao and his wife at a glance.
"Brother and sister-in-law, what's wrong with you? What happened?"
Mo Bei also came over, "Why do you have this expression?"
Yang Tao took a deep breath to hold back the tears of disappointment, raised her arm and bumped Mo Guangshen, "Just tell me."
Mo Guangshen sighed, "This year our work has been in vain!"
Is it so serious? Mo Bei and Gu Anran looked at each other, and Gu Anran asked Leile to help her grandma carry firewood for cooking.
After sending Leilei away, Gu Anran gathered Jin Feng's collar and whispered, "Let's go to the house and talk. Don't let mom hear and worry about it."
The four of them entered the house, and Mo Guangshen explained in detail the reason why the couple was frustrated.
Isn't it the end of the year? They only had a few hundred yuan left at home for the New Year, and all the remaining money was withdrawn from the bank to pay employees and settle accounts for the fabric factory.
The most important thing is that Yang Tao has just decided on a larger factory and pre-purchased more equipment. After the New Year, he plans to expand his business and go big. He has paid the deposit and is waiting to pay all the money.
The new equipment can be moved to the new factory building.
In the morning, the sewing workers in the workshop came to the store to pay their wages. Star Tao opened the locked drawer, only to find that the money that had been prepared inside was missing!
This time, Star Tao was frightened. How could this happen? The drawer was locked! The key was in her pocket!
The employees are still waiting to get their wages and go home to have a good New Year! The boss of the fabric factory is also waiting for the money they have been waiting for, as well as the factory buildings and equipment for which they have paid a deposit. If they cannot pay the full amount, it is a breach of contract.
, the deposit paid previously cannot be returned.
"Have you called the police?" Mo Bei took a cigarette and handed it to Mo Guangshen.
Mo Guangshen held the cigarette in his mouth and approached the small flame held in Mo Bei's hand. He squinted his eyes and took a deep breath. The smoke entered his lungs and was slowly exhaled through his nose.
"The police were called. They came and checked the lock. There was no sign of it being broken. They also searched everyone in the house and found nothing. What they meant was that maybe your sister-in-law simply forgot to lock the lock and let people have it.
It’s hard to find people like this if you take the money and run away.”
"I'm sure I'm locked, I can absolutely guarantee this!" Star Tao said tremblingly, "I only have the key, and I've been carrying it with me today."
"What the hell!" Mo Guangshen lowered his head and smoked, one puff after another, and soon a cigarette ended up between his fingers.
He pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray and said angrily, "I went to the clothing workshop to take a look, and when I came back, I pasted some big red words "福" on it, and there was such a big thing in the store!"
"What do you mean? I didn't think of such a thing! I can see that you are blaming me for this!" Yang Tao burst into tears.
"When did I say it was your fault?"
When something like this happens, I'm in a bad mood and it's easy to get into trouble while talking.
"Brother and sister-in-law, don't be impatient. Calm down, I have a few questions to ask you." Gu Anran heard some loopholes in Yang Tao's words.
She looked at Yang Tao, "Sister-in-law, what did you mean by what you just said? What do you mean you have been carrying the key with you today? What about before? What about normal times?"
Yang Tao wiped his tears and looked a little confused, "Usually? Usually the key is stuck in the drawer. There is change in the drawer, which is convenient for finding change."
The lock can be opened easily, and the time when the crime is committed is when there is the most money in the drawer. In most cases, acquaintances commit the crime. Basically, it can be ruled out that they are customers buying things.
Besides the customers, there was only one person - Wang Qingxia, who had just started working in the clothing store!
"Sister-in-law, think about it carefully. Did Wang Qingxia have the opportunity to secretly take this key and match it? Also, does she know that there will be so much money in your drawer today?"
"Wang Qingxia?" Yang Tao looked stunned. She remained motionless, but her eyes kept rolling. It seemed that her brain was spinning rapidly, recalling some relevant fragments.
"I remembered that I lost this key a few days ago. I couldn't find the key that day. Just when I was thinking about changing the lock the next day, I found it on my desk the next day.
I saw the key. At that time, Wang Qingxia said that I was dizzy because the key was clearly on the table but could not be seen. And today, Wang Qingxia saw me putting money in the drawer."
"Did she do it?" Mo Guangshen slapped the table angrily, "This white-eyed wolf! We kindly took her in to work in the store, but she actually did such a thing! But it was also a lot of money, and she never had it.
How did she hide the money after leaving the store?"
"I know!" Yang Tao jumped up from the stool, "At that time, a few old customers came to the store to pick up the clothes they ordered. I was busy at the time and didn't pay attention to what Wang Qingxia was doing. When those old customers had left,
I saw her carrying a garbage bag and said she was going outside to throw away garbage. Looking back now, it was very wrong! The garbage is taken out before closing every day. It was early this morning. Where did so much garbage come from? "
"She must have put the money in a garbage bag and hid it temporarily!" Mo Guangshen said.
Mo Bei took out his gloves and put them on his hands, "Don't waste time! Let's go find her now!"
The four people hurriedly came out of the room. Wang Shuzhen came out of the kitchen carrying dishes and stopped them, "The food is ready, where are you going?"
Gu Anran chatted, "Mom, isn't it New Year's Eve tomorrow? Let's go visit our uncle."
Last time Wang Huaien was here asking for money to buy a house, it was very unpleasant. Wang Shuzhen wanted to ask them to visit their uncle, but she was embarrassed to say that now, the children actually took the initiative to say that they wanted to visit their uncle.
.
"Then you have to finish your meal before going. Mom will bring you food!"
Mo Bei stopped him, "Mom, we're not even hungry. Let's eat when we get back."
"Wait a minute!" Wang Shuzhen went back to the house and took out a bowl of meat. She wanted to ask the four of them to bring it to Wang Huai'en. When she brought the meat out again, she saw that all four of them had disappeared.
Mo Bei and Mo Guangshen's bicycles flew off. When several people rushed to Wang Huaien's house, their family was about to have dinner. Everyone except Wang Qingjiang was there.
When Wang Qingxia saw the four of them in a hurry, she lowered her head with guilt and turned pale.
