Transmigrated Into the Vicious Stepmother in a Historical Novel - Chapter 190

Old Mrs. Lu asked Jixiang and Ruyi.

The two children shook their heads in the same way, both saying that after putting the money in their pockets, they didn’t take it out.

By the time they got home, they had been scared all night and then they went home and fell asleep.

So Old Mrs. Lu and Lu Jianguo analyzed that the money must have been lost on the way when the two of them left home.

It should be like this, no mistake.

“So when you left home, did you meet anyone on the road, meet any of the aunties and grandmas in our village, or meet any of the grandpas? Did you meet anyone?”

“No, we didn’t notice, and I don’t know.”

“I don’t know either. I and my brother don’t know, we didn’t meet anyone. After we went out, when we came back, we found the money was gone. Anyway, it’s just a few bills. You can earn it again.”

Jixiang and Ruyi really didn’t have the concept of how much money it was. They only knew that money could be spent, but how much money was it?

How much could it buy? How long did they need to save and earn? These two children didn’t know.

So the two children were forced to cry by Old Mrs. Lu. They wiped the tears from their faces and expressed great grievance.

Seeing these two children still feeling aggrieved, Old Mrs. Lu was so angry that she wanted to beat them up right now. How could they be so naughty, wanting to play with everything, wanting to try everything, and even take the money.

“I’m telling you, even if you take those things, or even if you take the food away, I won’t say anything.

It’s just a little bit of food, it can be bought again, but do you know how long I have to work to earn that money? Do you know that’s my hard-earned money? How could you just take it all away? Do you know how angry I am?”

Jixiang and Ruyi were frightened by Old Mrs. Lu’s attitude.

They looked at each other and wiped the tears from their faces.

“I don’t know, I didn’t do it on purpose. The money was taken by my brother.”

“Brother, how can you accuse me like this? Grandma, let me tell you, the money was taken by my brother. He told me to take it, so I took it.

I didn’t want to take it. It was my brother who forced me to. And after I took the money, it was all taken by my brother, he kept it.

And originally I couldn’t even reach the money, it was my brother who told me to get a stool to reach it. I almost knocked over the jar when I was grabbing the money. All these were my brother’s ideas. He said we should take the money, so that even if you get angry, there’s nothing you can do. We’ll spend all the money.”

When Lu Ruyi heard Lu Jixiang accusing him in front of Grandma, he immediately spilled all the plans to Old Mrs. Lu.

Old Mrs. Lu widened her eyes. She didn’t expect that it was Lu Jixiang’s idea.

These two children are getting harder and harder to manage as they get older. She looked at Lu Jixiang.

“Jixiang and Ruyi, you two tell the truth. Was the money lost, or was it spent by you, or was it stolen or tricked by someone? Was your money stolen by someone? Seeing that you had money, they tricked you and stole it.”

They say that where there is poverty and hardship, there are wicked people. In their small village, those small thieves are hard to guard against.

Even if it was really stolen by some thief, that was also very likely.

TL: I checked the raws and previous chapter, no mistake. Lu Jixiang is indeed the one who reached for the money jar and almost stumbled in the process, but now it is Lu Ruyi.
