18 Chapter 18 I did it on purpose
On the way back, the ox cart was still very quiet. Even though the sun was sunny today, it didn't warm up the mood of the others in the cart.

Li Changsheng didn't leave until he sent them to the door of his house. Lin He rubbed his numb waist and watched Li Changsheng's back driving the ox cart.

"It's too far to go here, and the time is not convenient. In the future, our family will also buy a cow by ourselves, and we can go to the town anytime."

You don't have to rush to ride an ox cart, and if you miss it, you have to wait another hour.

Li Changhui carried his things on his back and held Li An in his arms. He didn't put it down all morning, and he didn't even cry out that he was tired.

While responding to Lin He's request to buy an ox cart, he strode back to the house.

As soon as he reached the middle of the yard, he paused, and then continued as if nothing had happened: "Yu'er Haoer, go back to your room and have a look, there are burglars in the house."

Lin He was shocked: "What? A thief has entered?"

That voice was almost like shouting with a loudspeaker.

Of course, she did it on purpose. It was getting late, and the neighbor's worker had already returned home with a hoe, and the old lady who bought the pheasant yesterday was choosing vegetables in the yard.

"What! My pocket money!" Li Yu screamed and rushed to her room. As soon as she reached the door, she was angry: "Father, our door lock was broken!"

Except for the pigsty, every room has a lock. Except for Lin He and Li Changhui's room, which was left open on purpose in the morning, all other rooms are locked.

After all, they didn't expect that someone would go to the children's room to steal things, just like no one would think that Lin He gave the children pocket money.

Li Changhui saw it in the yard just now, so he specially greeted his two sons.

The two sons were very angry and ran back to the room quickly. As soon as Lin He arrived under the eaves, the two sons hugged their clay pots and ran out again.

"Mom, the pocket money you gave us is gone, it's all been stolen."

The child couldn't think too much, all he knew was that the money was gone, and his eyes were red with grievance.

Li Changhui also came out of the main room with a sullen face at this time: "Our house is gone."

Probably because Li Changhui's angry look was too obvious, Lin He was taken aback: "What, didn't you put..."

Before he finished speaking, he looked up and saw the earthen pot on the beam, still in its original position, Lin He was taken aback, and looked at Li Changhui.

Li Changhui shook his head slightly, his expression relaxed a lot.

That's right, Li Changhui did it on purpose, the only thing left is their own pocket money.

There was a flash of inspiration in my heart, and seeing the red eyes of the two sons, I could only pretend to be angry.

"How could it be? Why did thieves break into the good house? Could it be that someone knew that we sold the prey yesterday and waited for us to go out today to steal the money!"

Lin He seemed to be forcibly suppressing his anger.

"Although I came to Xiang'an Village just now, I also know that the ten miles and eight villages near Yonghe Town are all simple and honest people, and there hasn't been a single incident of stealing chickens and dogs in the past few years. Why, how come there are such people in Xiang'an Village!"

Lin He intentionally, when speaking, deliberately turned towards the aunt's house next door, and the voice was transmitted directly, and his eyes were red, and he was about to cry.

Li Changhui, Li Yu and Li Hao were all taken aback by Lin He's reaction, so, why did you cry?
"Mother, don't cry. From now on, you and dad will go to town, and my brother and I will stay at home. We will never let thieves come to our house to steal things again!"

Li Yu couldn't care less about being angry anymore, and hurriedly comforted her mother.

Li Changhui frowned slightly and pursed his lips. He was not sure if the little cook had misunderstood. What was gone was only a few pennies of their pocket money, and all the other money was still there.

Just as she was about to explain, the aunt next to her who folded vegetables couldn't help it anymore: "Changhui's family, don't talk nonsense, the atmosphere in our village has always been very good."

Lin He sobbed, choked up and looked at the auntie: "My family, brother Hui bought five taels of silver from hunting yesterday, and kept four taels at home, all of which were stolen."

Li Changhui could see that this girl was just pretending.

The aunt held back two breaths, but in the end she couldn't hold back.

"That has nothing to do with other people in the village. Not long after you left in the morning, I saw Changhui's mother and two younger siblings arriving at your house. They also broke the lock of your house."

Lin He's eyes widened all of a sudden: "What! It's mother-in-law and younger siblings! How is it possible!"

Li Yu was also shocked: "Why did grandma break the lock of our house?"

But in the next moment, Li Yu understood: "Grandma took the second and third aunts and stole our family's money!"

Li Yu made a conclusion on this matter in an instant, and before anyone else could react, Li Yu pulled Li Hao up.

"Mother, don't cry. My second brother and I will get you back the money. The younger brother still needs to buy rice for food. Grandma has so much silver at home. I saw them hiding several big silver ingots last time. Dad came back this time. I gave her two, and now she still comes to steal things from our house!"

Li Yu angrily pulled Li Hao and rushed out. By the time he finished speaking, the two brothers were already on the road.

It was only at this moment that Lin He came to his senses, and hurried to catch up: "Yuer Haoer, come back."

Just as he took a step, he was pulled back, it was Li Changhui.

Lin He shook it twice and didn't shake it off, a little anxious: "Why are you dragging me, go and call Yu'er Haoer back, there are so many people in your parents' house, what kind of money are they two little ones going to ask for, and they were beaten what to do!"

"It's okay, let them try it, it doesn't matter if they want to come back, just let them not hold their breath."

Lin He was stunned for a moment, but he didn't realize what Li Changhui meant.

On the contrary, a few people from the neighbor's house came back and just heard what Li Yu and Lin He's mother and son had said, especially the information Li Yu said, which was really surprising.

"From Changhui's family, what Gou Shenger said is true, your mother-in-law's family is so rich?"

Dog Leftover, before Li Changhui named Li Yu, everyone in the village called it that way. The new name was only chosen yesterday, and other people in the village didn't know it yet.

Lin He frowned slightly, she didn't like to call children like that.

"Auntie, the eldest of my family is now called Li Yu, the second is Li Hao, and the third is Li An."

After correcting the aunt's address, she explained with a calm face.

"Brother Hui used to have people send several taels of silver back every year. The previous two times when he came back by himself, he also gave his parents 20 taels. This time, he also gave them the only 20 taels he had with him."

The aunt was startled: "Really, with so much money, why haven't you heard your mother-in-law talk about it?"

Lin He lowered his eyelids: "I don't know, I only found out after listening to Brother Hui. I don't know anything about the past either."

Li Changhui looked on in amazement. He used to think that the cooking of this little cook was much more delicious than that of his mother and two younger siblings.

I just found out today that this girl is actually so good at deceiving people.

Glancing at the family on the opposite side, the discussion has already begun. Although I don't know what the purpose of this girl is, but it should be almost the same now, so I dragged people to the kitchen.

"Don't think about that, let's cook first, it's getting late, Yuer Haoer must be hungry too."

Sure enough, as soon as he was pulled closer to the kitchen, the pretendingly miserable expression on Lin He's face disappeared, replaced by a smile.

Li Changhui shook his head inwardly, and explained: "No one has touched the earthen pots on the beams."

Lin He went to cook with a smile: "I know, I did it on purpose."
