C11 You Actually Stole Money from Your Family

After leaving the pawn shop, Soong Qiu'er didn't have any clue about Ah Mu's background. She sighed softly, turned around and aimlessly walked around the town.

Suddenly, Soong Qiu'er smelled the smell of roasted chicken. She touched the silver coins in her pocket and bought a roasted chicken and some side dishes.

Even if they didn't find Ah Mu's family background, the two of them had to eat and drink well. Somehow, Soong Qiu'er's depressed mood eased a lot when she thought of Ah Mu's hairy hands on top of his head.

"Right, right, right. Let's do it this way. Turn around a little faster!"

Soong Qiu'er heard Madam Qian's sharp and complacent voice the moment she entered the house. She looked up and saw Madam Qian ordering Ah Mu to pull the millstone!

"This is too much!" Soong Qiu'er immediately went up and looked at Madam Qian, "How can you fool Ah Mu like that, using him as a donkey?"

Madam Qian's complacent smile froze on her face. After being angered by Soong Qiu'er, she actually felt a bit afraid. However, she heard Soong Bao'er block her path and say, "What do you mean by that? Since this man of unknown origin has used his strength to help the family do some things, it is only right that he eat our Soong Family for nothing. "

Hearing Soong Bao'er's words, Madam Qian also reacted, "You have some guts to start pointing fingers at me?"

"No matter how strong Ah Mu is, he's still human." Soong Qiu'er said coldly.

"He's just a wild man from who knows where. If you can't find his origins, then I'll find someone to sell him to tomorrow." Madam Qian paused and continued to mock him, "This wild man has great strength, he can make you serve him so well and sell you for a good price tomorrow."

Soong Qiu'er ignored the mother and daughter. She went up to Ah Mu and untied the rope. She held Ah Mu's hand and was about to leave, but at that moment, Soong Qiu'er's sharp eyes caught the bag in Soong Qiu'er's hand.

"Mom, look." Soong Bao'er pointed at the item in Soong Qiu'er's hand as she spoke softly to Madam Qian.

Madam Qian snatched the roasted chicken from Soong Qiu'er's hands. "Heh, alright, enjoy it. While you're fooling around with those wild men, you even bought these things to enjoy!"

Madam Qian thought of something and said sharply, "You damn girl, you actually stole the money from our family!"

These words were a bit too serious. Stealing was the taboo in the countryside, especially for someone like Soong Qiu'er who had a criminal background. If this crime was proven, then Soong Qiu'er would not have a place in the village.

"What did Aunt say?" Before Soong Qiu'er could react, a crime fell from the sky.

Stealing money from home? Soong Qiu'er couldn't help but sneer in her heart. Wasn't the biggest money in this family exchanged for Ah Mu's jade pendant?

"If you didn't steal the money from home, where would you get the money to buy these things to eat?" Madam Qian smelled the roasted chicken and was furious.

He hadn't even eaten anything good yet and this girl actually dared to steal money to enjoy herself like this!

With a change of her thoughts, Madam Qian had actually come to the conclusion that Soong Qiu'er was stealing money.

Soong Qiu'er was careless for a moment because she didn't hide the roasted chicken when Madam Qian fooled Ah Mu. She didn't expect Madam Qian to pick up the evidence.

"Auntie, you're thinking too much." Soong Qiu'er shook her head, "The money to buy the roasted chicken is for Ah Mu."

"Oh?" Madam Qian's eyes swept across Ah Mu's body as if she wanted to take out some silver from him.

Soong Qiu'er looked at Madam Qian's expression as she stared at Ah Mu with annoyance. She took a step forward and blocked Madam Qian's sight, "Ah Mu remembered something this morning. He found three taels of silver at the place where he was injured. It seems like it was during the fight."

"Where is it?" Madam Qian asked.

But before Soong Qiu'er could think of anything, she saw Ah Mu point towards the back of the house and say, "The mountain over there."

If it wasn't absolutely necessary, very few people would go there. Soong Qiu'er heard Ah Mu actually cooperating with her, and immediately cooperated: "Ah Mu said that at that time, he had quite a bit of silver in his pocket, but he couldn't find any other people, so he only found three silvers. When he saw a poisonous snake, he quickly ran back to give it to me."

This sentence was reasonable. Madam Qian, who was half believing in Ah Mu, remembered that the jade pendant Ah Mu was wearing was worth two hundred taels of silver, hence she believed him a little. She looked at Soong Qiu'er and Ah Mu suspiciously, but didn't say anything more.

"What is he doing?" Soong Dazhuang pushed open the door and asked when he saw Madam Qian and Soong Qiu'er standing together.

"Hmph, go ask her." Madam Qian snorted coldly, but didn't tell Soong Dazhuang about how she said Soong Qiu'er stole the money.

However, Soong Dazhuang naturally knew his wife's temper. He assumed that Madam Qian was bullying Soong Qiu'er again, so he laughed and said, "Qiu'er is still young, don't bother with her."

Hearing Soong Dazhuang's words, Soong Qiu'er knew that her eldest uncle was a wife and slave. She didn't even ask clearly what had happened and directly judged that she had offended Madam Qian.

Although Soong Dazhuang was trying to smooth things over, he didn't stand on Soong Qiu'er's side at all.

Forget it. Soong Qiu'er lowered her head to cover the emotion in her eyes. Soong Dazhuang being able to smooth things over and protect her was already not an easy matter. Why make things difficult for this loyal and honest uncle?

"Since you said so, I won't bother with this little b * tch anymore." After saying that, Madam Qian turned to Soong Bao'er and said, "Bao'er, let's go back to our room, don't stain the door with something that shouldn't be stained."

Soong Bao'er wanted to ask Madam Qian more about Ah Mu, but she heard Madam Qian's words about going back to her room. She could only suppress her emotions and follow Madam Qian back to her room.

"Qiu'er …" Soong Dazhuang was about to speak, but he saw Madam Qian's gaze and quickly followed behind her. The family of three went back to their room.

In the woodshed, Soong Qiu'er brought Ah Mu back to her room and looked at each other. Only then did she remember: "Ah Mu, why do you want to tell aunt that you picked up the money in the back mountain?"

Soong Qiu'er looked carefully at Ah Mu's expression, hoping to find some traces that Ah Mu had recovered his memory and shrewdness.

However, what disappointed Soong Qiu'er was that Ah Mu still looked confused. He rolled his eyes and said, "The auntie next door said yesterday that she wants to throw Ergou to the back mountain."

Ergou was the grandson next door. Every time the next door's aunty threatened Ergou, she would throw him into the back mountains to feed the poisonous snakes. Ah Mu heard that and instinctively felt that it was a very dangerous place at that time.

Hearing Ah Mu's words, the light in Soong Qiu'er's eyes dimmed.

That's right, how could he recover his memories so quickly … It was enough that he could hide from Madam Qian this time. He could only take things one step at a time.

Sighing, Soong Qiu'er carefully hid the silver she brought back into the cave. Her mind kept spinning as she thought about where to break through to find Ah Mu's background.
