Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

Chapter 1517 Good Luck Continues (6)
Linlang, who had already reached the courtyard, heard Grandma Li's words and pretended to be incredulous, saying, "Grandma, weren't you the best to me, saying you loved me the most? I've worked so hard to save up so much money over the years and it's gone. I wanted to call the police to get it back, why are you stopping me? My sister already said she didn't steal it. Since that's the case, I'm going to call the police to find the thief and get the money back. Why are you stopping me? Were all the things you said about loving me all these years just lies?"

Linlang wanted to take this opportunity to publicize what Li Qiuyun had done, and also to expose the bad things Grandma Li had done to the original owner.

Let her be hypocritical, always making empty promises and giving fake smiles to the original owner every day, making the original owner think that her grandmother is very good to her, but in fact she has never given the original owner anything, only to her eldest granddaughter.

Although the original owner knew that Grandma Li had treated her badly after this incident, the matter in the Li family hadn't become a big deal, so outsiders didn't know. Outsiders still thought that Grandma Li was good to the original owner.

So Linlang deliberately made a big fuss this time so that outsiders would know that Grandma Li was not good to the original owner at all, so that it would be normal for her to ignore her in the future.

Seeing that Linlang was about to leave, Grandma Li became furious. Forgetting all about appearances, she sat down on the ground, slapped her thigh, and cried, "You jinx! You're bringing trouble to our family! If you leave this house today, I'll kill myself right here and let everyone know that you drove your grandma to her death!"

Linlang was heartbroken after hearing Grandma Li's words. She said, "Grandma, why are you doing this to me? I lost so much money and tickets, and you won't let me report it to the police. Why?"

A neighbor asked Linlang, "How much money and tickets did you lose?"

They were very curious about how much money Li Qiuyun had stolen from Linlang.

Speaking of which, Grandma Li threatened to kill herself to prevent Linlang from reporting to the police. Besides Linlang looking aggrieved, Sister-in-law Li, Brother Li, and the neighbors couldn't help but mutter to themselves, thinking that Li Qiuyun must have really stolen Li Linlang's money. Otherwise, why would Grandma Li stand up for her and stop Linlang from reporting to the police? After all, true gold fears no fire. If she didn't steal the money, let the police come.

Look, Li Qiuyun is now experiencing the bitterness of not being able to explain herself. She clearly didn't steal anything, but everyone around her thinks she did, only her sister hasn't made a fuss about it.

Of course, she did try to steal, but she failed, so she can't be considered innocent.

Upon hearing her neighbor's inquiry, Linlang naturally wanted to give Li Qiuyun a good shout-out, saying, "There's six or seven hundred yuan, and dozens of tickets of all kinds. It's money I've painstakingly saved up for several years... Waaah..."

Upon hearing this, everyone gasped in shock. With so much money involved, it was no wonder Li Linlang was heartbroken.

Meanwhile, many people subtly glanced at Li Qiuyun, who stood to the side with a grim expression, thinking that it was no wonder Li Qiuyun had returned early today for no apparent reason; it was to steal Li Linlang's money, wasn't it?

Since Li Qiuyun had returned to the courtyard early, naturally some people knew about it.

He inexplicably returned early, and no one believed it was without reason; it turned out he wanted to steal money.

Now that Li Qiuyun has so much money, I wonder if anyone will be interested in marrying into her family. No, I'm afraid no one will be willing. After all, Li Qiuyun is extravagant and not good at managing money. People who want to marry into her family are all looking to live off her. Who wants to be with someone who can't manage money? When the money runs out, life will be tough.

The matter was dropped because Grandma Li threatened to commit suicide.

But this was only a superficial resolution. Behind the scenes, that very evening, Linlang told her family that she was going to rent a place outside and stop living at home.

When Li's mother heard that she didn't plan to stay at home, she became anxious and said, "You're living perfectly well at home, why are you renting a place outside? It's not safe for a girl like you to live outside."

Linlang glanced at Li Qiuyun and Grandma Li and said, "Where is my home now? All the hard-earned money I've made over the years is gone."

Upon hearing this, Li Qiuyun's face turned ashen. She wanted to say that there was nothing in the pillow and that her money was missing, but if she said that, wouldn't she be admitting that she had searched Linlang's pillow? So even if she knew, she couldn't say it.

Meanwhile, Li's mother, unaware of Linlang's situation, thought that Linlang's money was really lost. She understood that her daughter wanted to move out because of this, but it was too unsafe for a young woman to live alone. She couldn't rest easy about it, so she said, "Mom knows your predicament. How about this, I'll put a lock on that drawer in your wardrobe? You can keep your important things in that drawer from now on."

The original owner and Li Qiuyun shared a wardrobe in their room. It had two drawers, one for each of them.

At this moment, Linlang heard what Li's mother said and said irritably, "Didn't we pretend to have it before? What's the use? Someone is smart enough to pick the lock and steal the things inside. Anyway, I don't live at home anymore. We have thieves in our house. We've been robbed so many times. Why would I still live at home? Unless I'm stupid."

Otherwise, why would the original owner hide the money in the pillow, assuming that Li Qiuyun didn't know? In the past, the original owner hid it in the drawer and locked it, but the things were still lost.

When Li's mother heard Linlang say this, she said, "Okay, I'll think of a way to help you create a separate room. Don't go to live outside; it's not safe outside."

Today's events naturally sided with Li's mother, who wanted to report it to the police. However, her mother-in-law threatened suicide, and her husband pretended to be a good person, remaining silent. Only Li's mother stood by her daughter, insisting on reporting it to the police, which was useless. In the end, the matter was dropped, leaving Li's mother looking very upset. She knew her daughter was frugal and knew she must have saved a lot of money, which Li Qiuyun had stolen. It was infuriating, but she was powerless to do anything, letting her daughter suffer such bullying without being able to seek justice. She already felt very guilty. Now, her daughter was risking everything to stay outside in order to avoid Li Qiuyun. How could this be allowed? Losing money was a small matter, but if something happened to her daughter, that would be a big deal.

But Li Qiuyun insisted that she hadn't stolen it, and she couldn't get her to return the money. That was all she could say for now.

If the drawer is locked, Li Qiuyun can open it. If it's the door, there should be both a lock and a padlock. That way, even if Li Qiuyun comes to cause trouble, it will be much slower, and her family will be more likely to find out. Also, the places where valuables are kept can be locked to slow down her unlocking speed, so that she won't have time to take the things before she's caught red-handed. That way, there's no need to rent a place outside.

Linlang shook her head after hearing what Li's mother said, and said, "Our house is only so big, we can't spare any more space."
