I am happy to be a mother in my 80s, but the factory director’s wife is ruined

Chapter 54 Want to cheat?

It turns out that Zhou Qiang is Xi Baiyang's deskmate. Because he is greedy and gets hungry easily, his family often asks him to bring some pocket money with him so that Zhou Qiang can buy something to eat when he is hungry.

Two days ago, Zhou's parents had to go out of town, so they gave him ten yuan at a time, which was enough for at least a week's expenses. Unexpectedly, when they came back early today, their son would ask for pocket money.

After Zhou's mother asked, she found out that Zhou Qiang had lost the money.

She felt that her son was not such a careless person. She asked Zhou Qiang to think carefully about where he had gone and whether anyone else had touched the schoolbag. Finally, she came to the conclusion that Zhou Qiang's schoolbag had never left her sight. Yesterday, he and When Xi Boyang was a student on duty, he went out to take out the trash. At that time, Xi Boyang was the only one left in the class wiping the blackboard. When he went back that night, Zhou Qiang found that his money was missing.

Zhou Qiang came to school in the morning and asked Xi Boyang directly in front of the classmates if he had taken any of his own money. Xi Boyang naturally refused to admit it, but this move also aroused discussion among many classmates.

After Teacher Zeng heard this, he quickly called the two of them to the office. However, based on Zhou Qiang's words, it was difficult to determine that it was Xi Boyang who did it.

She promised Zhou Qiang that he would ask the classmates in the class if they had picked up the money, but she didn't know what Zhou's mother said to him when he went back at noon. Zhou Qiang stopped Xi Baiyang again when he was leaving school in the afternoon and refused to let him go.

During the dispute between the two, Zhou Qiang pushed Xi Boyang and threw him to the ground. Because he was heavier, Xi Boyang was pressed to the ground for a while before he struggled to stand up.

Zhou Qiang took advantage and saw that he wanted to escape, so he reached out to grab Xi Baiyang's clothes and tore a hole in his clothes.

Xi Baiyang was furious and knocked Zhou Qiang to the ground with one fist. Then he sat on top of him and punched him two more times until a passing teacher pulled them apart.

Fortunately, Zhou Qiang has a lot of flesh, otherwise Xi Baiyang could knock him out with his teeth.

Before Teacher Zeng went to call the parents, Zhou's mother came over. It turned out that she had asked Zhou Qiang to stay in order to get the money back from Xi Baiyang in person.

Seeing her son being beaten, Zhou's mother made a fuss at school and asked for Xi Boyang's body to be searched. Teacher Zeng did so after seeking Xi Boyang's consent, but Zhou's mother still refused to let him go and insisted on seeing Xi Boyang's body. Only parents can do that.

Sang Yu looked back at Xi Boyang and didn't hear him mention this matter during lunch. If the teacher hadn't called, would Xi Boyang have said that he was bullied at school?
Xi Boyang's eyes trembled, and he struggled for a while before speaking, "I didn't steal."

After saying that, he quietly looked at Sang Yu, and when he saw that the other party was looking at him, he immediately lowered his eyes.

Suddenly, a hand patted his shoulder, "Raise your head, let's see who dares to say you are a thief."

Xi Baiyang was surprised. It turned out that she was not blaming herself just now.

He raised his chin as Sang Yu said, and his whole body seemed to relax a lot.

Sang Yu glanced at Zhou's mother who was not far away, "Just because of this, your son beat my child like this?"

"What do you mean this? Besides, it's your son beating my son now!"

"Wrong, it's obvious that your son can't beat him on his own. It's not that we, Baiyang, are too arrogant. Go back and let your son practice more. His body is full of weak flesh."

"..." The flesh on Zhou's mother's face trembled.

"Besides, the matter of Baiyang stealing money is even more false. Your son doesn't even know if he left the money elsewhere, so you accuse my child without any evidence. This is slander!"

"My son never lies, you are the one who slandered me!"

"Then do you dare to let me ask him?" Sang Yu said, "You have no evidence to prove that Baiyang stole money, but I can prove that your son is lying."

"Why should I listen to you?" Zhou's mother rolled her eyes. She had a pig's nose sticking a green onion in her nose. Why are you pretending to be here?

"In this case, we have nothing to talk about." Sang Yu raised her chin towards Xi Baiyang, "Let's go home."

"Wait a minute! What will happen to my son if you leave? Are you trying to cheat?"

"Sister, we did not take your son's money. If you are not convinced, you can go to the police and investigate as much as you want. But our Baiyang is injured, and I have to take him back for medicine quickly."

Mother Zhou grabbed her arm anxiously, "No, no one is allowed to leave unless you give me an explanation today!"... In the end, she agreed to Sang Yu's proposal.

Sang Yu borrowed paper and pen from Teacher Zeng and made sure that no one else could interrupt. Then she called Zhou Qiang to the side, "If I want to ask you next, you must answer truthfully and think carefully before answering."

Zhou Qiang glanced at his mother and nodded.

"First question, how much did your mother give you this Wednesday night?"

"ten bucks."

"Did you spend the money after you got it?"

"No……"

In the next half hour, Sang Yu asked him everything from where he put the money, what he bought, how much money was left after the purchase, etc., and wrote them down in detail on paper.

Zhou Qiang was able to answer it quickly at first, but in the middle he didn't know whether he forgot or for some other reason. The answer gradually became a little vague. Sang Yu was not in a hurry and waited patiently.

Even so, Zhou Qiang was hesitant, and in the end he could only rub his eyes and say that he didn't remember.

Seeing her son being tortured like this, Zhou's mother felt heartbroken, "Are you feeling better?"

Sang Yu just wanted her to shut up, but Teacher Zeng next to her had already dissuaded her in time. Not to mention, she felt that Sang Yu seemed quite professional.

Sang Yu asked Zhou Qiang to take a drink of water first, and then told him, "As long as you answer my questions well, I'll have some fried meat with bamboo shoots later."

Thinking that there was still meat to eat, Zhou Qiang couldn't help but swallow his saliva and quickly cheered up. Unexpectedly, Sang Yu asked the question again.

This time he answered faster, but he was still a little vague at the end, but Sang Yu did not coddle him as before, "Did you put the money you spent on Thursday afternoon in your schoolbag or in your pocket?

"It's in the schoolbag... It seems to be in the schoolbag." Zhou Qiang was a little dizzy. Which one did he answer just now?

"You still have seven dollars left at this point, don't you?"

"Ah."

“What did you eat on Friday morning?”

"Three steamed buns and a bowl of soy milk."

"What about noon?"

"Lunch...um...bread and soda."

"Just now you said you had dumplings for lunch, why did they turn into bread? Did you buy bread or not? Did you buy it after school at noon or in the afternoon?"

"I bought bread after school in the afternoon."

"sure?"

"Ah."

"Didn't your money disappear when school was over on Friday?" Sang Yu narrowed her eyes, "Then what did you buy for bread and soda?"
