Transmigrated Into the Vicious Stepmother in a Historical Novel - Chapter 178

She asked Lu Jianguo, and there was no one seen at home.

Not having seen any outsiders, that could only mean it was Xu Yuxia and Lu Jiefang.

Old Mrs. Lu still knew what kind of person her own son was.

Her son Lu Jiefang did not value money much. Sometimes when he needed to spend money he would just ask her for an advance, but this daughter-in-law always wanted to keep the money.

There had long been contradictions between the two sides in terms of saving money.

Every time it came to whose hands the money should be kept in, they would quarrel. Previously after Xu Yuxia married Lu Jiefang, she wanted Lu Jiefang to give her the money he earned.

Unfortunately, at the time Old Mrs. Lu was very strict in management and was unwilling to do so. Whenever Lu Jiefang didn’t give her money, she would create a big fuss, saying he was unfilial and did not want his mother after marrying a wife.

Lu Jiefang was worn out by Old Mrs. Lu, so he could only give the money back to Old Mrs. Lu.

It was precisely because of this that Xu Yuxia often had a bad attitude towards him. Now the first person Old Mrs. Lu suspected was Xu Yuxia.

Because she felt that it was impossible for anyone else to take it.

“Mom, what are you saying? I was able to earn a few money too, and our Jiefang can also earn some money, but ever since you said that last time, all my money has been kept with you.

We really don’t have any money on hand, and you’re saying I stole it. Isn’t the most important thing now to go find Jixiang and Ruyi? Why are you saying this about me? Do you know how hurtful your words are?”

Xu Yuxia was so angry at Old Mrs. Lu that she was at a loss.

“If it’s not you, then who else could it be? My money has always been kept here, and our Jiefang couldn’t have secretly taken the money behind my back. And Jixiang and Ruyi have gone missing, you say they couldn’t have taken it either.

Aside from you, who else could it be? Unless a real thief has broken into the house, my lifelong savings are all gone. Damn the thief, if I catch you I’ll kill you. Yes, I’m going to report it to the police. I’m going to report it to the police right now.”

After wailing for a while, Old Mrs. Lu felt that she should now go to the county to report it to the police. Her grandsons were missing, and the money was gone too.

She really felt that life had no hope.

Old Mrs. Lu took the initiative to question Xu Yuxia, and Xu Yuxia had no way to defend herself. She didn’t know what was the reason, lately she always made mistakes. It was if every time she clashed with Sheng Fei, she was always angered by Sheng Fei.

Losing to Sheng Fei, could it really be an ill-fated year?

“Okay, then let’s tell the police and ride our bikes to the county, but it’s so late now, will that still work?”

Although they wanted to report it to the police, it was already deep into the night now. Even if they reported it, would the police be able to dispatch people to search right away?

It would be better to have a few villagers help search.

Although their interpersonal relationships were not very good, after all, it was a shared difficulty, they would help each other. Their children were missing, so the villagers were also willing to help search.

The most important thing now is not to get distracted about who took the money, but to find Jixiang and Ruyi first.

After all, they were just two little children. If they accidentally fell into the water or fell down the hillside, it could be life-threatening.

“Mom, let’s not get caught up in the money issue first. Let’s go look for Jixiang and Ruyi. I’m afraid that since these two children have been out for so long, if something happens to them, I feel like the sky is going to collapse on me. Even if you resent me, I have to find them first.”
