Chapter 169 (1/2)

”Who said that!” aunt Jinhua seemed to be trampled on her painful feet. She said, ”who is talkative? Don't listen to her. How can I be the one who does that kind of stealing.”

”Ah, aunt Jinhua, haven't you passed my garden? But others say you did?” Fang ruxiu looked disappointed and said, ”I thought you would know the clue.”

Hearing Fang ruxiu's words, aunt Jinhua knew that she misunderstood Fang ruxiu's meaning. It turned out that Fang ruxiu thought she would meet a thief.

”That's what you mean, niece ruxiu.” aunt Jinhua turned her eyes and said, ”I got up late tonight and haven't been to your garden, so the person who told you must be crazy about money. I haven't been there at all.”

”Oh.” Fang ruxiu nodded, stood up and turned around in front of aunt Jinhua. This is an ordinary earth brick house, but it is much better than the mud embryo house of ordinary people. At least aunt Jinhua's house is built into two floors with mud embryo, with upper and lower floors, which can generally be used to stack some sundries.

This room is very spacious and long. It is divided into two parts. In front of this room, there are tables and chairs for eating, but behind it is a stove. Because firewood is burned all year round, the second half of the room is blackened. Looking up, there are some firewood on the upstairs. It seems that Aunt Jinhua's house is fairly rich.

”Aunt Jinhua, have you been to the well this morning?” Fang ruxiu asked again.

”No, No.” aunt Jinhua quickly shook her head and said she had not been there.

”Oh.” Fang ruxiu went over and opened their water tank. She said, ”but the water tank is full? If aunt Jinhua didn't draw water in the morning, how can the water be full?”

”I picked it up this morning.” aunt Jinhua felt a little uneasy talking to the little girl Fang ruxiu.

”Oh.” Fang ruxiu sat down again and looked at Aunt Jinhua and said, ”I thought aunt Jinhua would see the thieves who went to our house to steal vegetables if she got up to fetch water in the morning. In this way, aunt Jinhua, you can get two liang of silver from our house.”

”Oh, hehe, it seems that these two liang silver have no fate with our family.” aunt Jinhua pretended to be a little disappointed and smiled.

”Aunt Jinhua, your house is one of the best in the village.” Fang ruxiu said to Aunt Jinhua again and even praised her house.

”No one can compare with your family. You don't know how many people in this village envy your big house.”

Aunt Jinhua was still chattering there, but Fang ruxiu had already gone to their room. She looked at the ladder leading to the second floor standing in their room and squatted down.

There's some wet under the ladder. It must be because of the snow this morning. Now as soon as the snow melts, it's wet.

At this moment, Fang ruxiu doesn't know where she is. Aunt Jinhua is the thief who stole their house.

”Aunt Jinhua, did you move this ladder this morning?” Fang ruxiu asked unintentionally.

”No.” aunt Jinhua's first reaction was to shake her head.

”Oh, no, why are the two feet of the ladder wet?” Fang ruxiu stood up and pointed to the two feet of the ladder to Aunt Jinhua. However, her tone was not as good as before. She said with a smile: ”aunt Jinhua, your ladder had wings this morning, and then flew into our vegetable garden.”

Hearing this, aunt Jinhua's smile was a little stiff, and her face became a little stiff: ”what are you talking about, niece?”

”My meaning is very clear. Aunt, where did you go this morning?” Fang ruxiu said with a smile: ”early in the morning, where did you and uncle carry the ladder?”

”I didn't go anywhere, I didn't go anywhere!” aunt Jinhua still shook her head. She said angrily, ”what are you talking about? You mean aunt stole your food?!”

”I didn't say anything, but aunt you said it yourself.” Fang ruxiu said with a smile: ”moreover, aunt, if you are brave enough, let me search your house. Maybe there are vegetables in our house under the bed now!”

Fang ruxiu rushed to the bed. Sure enough, she lifted the hanging tent. Sure enough, there was a basket of vegetables under the bed. The room was a little dark, but such a big basket of vegetables could be seen by a blind man.
