Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

Chapter 1524 Good Luck Continues (13)
Actually, Li Qiuyun's earlier suggestion to call the police was just to scare Li Zhiguo and his wife; she didn't really intend to call the police because she was afraid it would expose her theft of Linlang's money.

Li Zhiguo, however, was not intimidated at all and let her call the police, leaving her in a difficult position with no choice but to call the police as well.

Fortunately, Linlang didn't take this opportunity to call the police. Otherwise, if she had, and the police had found out about her, it would have been troublesome.

Now it's all over. Reporting it to the police is useless. Her money hasn't been found, and she's living in fear of being investigated by the police for stealing Linlang's money. It's really a case of losing more than she gained.

Speaking of which, did Li Zhiguo and his wife really not steal her money? Otherwise, how come the police couldn't find any trace of it?
If it wasn't Li Zhiguo and his wife who stole it, then who was it?
Li Qiuyun considered all the suspects, from her mother to Linlang, but she couldn't believe it was those two who stole it, since they didn't have the opportunity to do so.

As for Li's father, grandfather, and others, Li Qiuyun naturally had no doubts, since these people would never steal her money.

This person doesn't look like it, that person doesn't look like it either, so who stole it? The police couldn't find out, and she herself couldn't possibly guess.

In fact, she had considered suspecting Linlang, since she had tried to steal Linlang's money before—although she failed, she had intended to—and Linlang had discovered it. If she wanted revenge, she might very well steal Linlang's money after hearing that she was rich.

But since no evidence has been found, she can't just say that someone stole it.

Despite repeated investigations, the police were unable to uncover the truth and the case was eventually dropped, becoming an unsolved mystery.

Although the police have classified it as an unsolved case, both Li Qiuyun and her future in-laws, the Cao family, believe that someone from the Li family stole it. After all, it's practically impossible for an outsider to steal from such a large family living together.

With such a large sum of money lost, Li Qiuyun naturally told her future in-laws, the Cao family. When the Cao family heard that the eight hundred yuan her grandmother had given her was gone, they were naturally anxious, since the money belonged to Li Qiuyun and might become theirs in the future.

With so much money, Li Qiuyun couldn't possibly spend it all by herself. They could then use the excuse of borrowing it to get some money from her. They wouldn't need much, just two or three hundred yuan, which would be enough for Lao San's bride price to get a wife.

If the family's resources are insufficient, then the bride price can be used to make up for it.

—In the original world, the Cao family naturally didn't do such a thing, because initially, the fact that Li Qiuyun had received money from her grandmother was not exposed. She was very shrewd; she was the only one who could take advantage of others, while others couldn't take advantage of her. Therefore, she certainly wouldn't tell Cao Li about her secret stash of eight hundred yuan. So, in the original world, since the Cao family didn't know about this sum of money, they naturally never asked Li Qiuyun for two or three hundred yuan. Of course, Qiufeng beat her quite a bit, but given Li Qiuyun's character of only taking and never giving, he couldn't beat her.

Now that Li Qiuyun has lost her money, she told the Cao family about it. Naturally, the Cao family got excited and immediately said that they should support her and go to the Li family to make a scene and demand that the person who stole the money hand it over. They said that Li Qiuyun's mother was not around and she had a stepmother, so she was afraid that no one would support her and that she would be bullied.

Li Qiuyun actually had someone backing her up. After all, her grandmother, who raised her, always stood by her side, and her father, influenced by her grandmother, also stood by her side. They were always on guard against the original owner of the body and her mother, afraid that they would bully her. As a result, in the Li family, the original owner of the body and her mother were actually the weaker party, because the two people in the family who held the power, Li's father and Li's grandmother, did not stand by their side, and they were invisible in the family.

But Li Qiuyun would never say such a thing. In public, she would still act pitiful. After all, this would not only garner sympathy but also allow people to criticize her stepmother and sister. Why not? Outsiders don't know their family situation, but in most people's minds, stepmothers are not good people. So when they see her looking pitiful, they will naturally criticize her stepmother. She finds it very comforting, so she always acts pitiful in public.

Hearing what the Cao family said, without explaining her status in the family, she immediately agreed to let them support her. Anyway, both families had already met each other's parents and started discussing when to hold the banquet, so it was acceptable for Cao's parents to stand up for her, after all, she was an orphan.

—In fact, Li Qiuyun said that people without mothers are happier than those with mothers, after all, how many mothers are willing to give up their jobs to their daughters, while most people give them up to their sons.

Immediately, Cao's parents, Cao Li, came to their door to cause trouble.

As a result, they ran into Uncle Li and Aunt Li, who also came to make a scene with their son and daughter.

It turned out that Uncle Li and Aunt Li, who lived in another alley, heard that Grandma Li had given eight hundred yuan of her private savings to Li Qiuyun. Uncle Li's personality was similar to that of his father, and he always listened to his parents. He was too embarrassed to make a fuss, but he couldn't stand the dissatisfaction of his wife, son, and daughter, so he had no choice but to come over.

He just doesn't speak; it's his wife, son, and daughter who do.

His wife started by yelling at Grandpa and Grandma Li: "Aren't we your sons, grandsons, and granddaughters? You only give the money to Li Qiuyun? I don't care what you do, give us the eight hundred yuan first, otherwise this isn't over, we're not leaving, we're staying here."

Grandpa Li was relatively fair to his sons, but only to his sons and grandsons. He wouldn't give his daughters and granddaughters a single penny because he favored sons over daughters. So when he heard Aunt Li's insults, he immediately said, "That was all your mother's idea, not mine. I will definitely find a way to make it up to you."

Li Dasao, who was standing nearby, immediately chimed in, "Grandpa, don't forget our family. We're the eldest son's family, so we should also receive compensation."

Grandpa Li nodded and said, "That's for sure. I'm trying to figure something out, but I don't have that much money on hand to give to your two families right now."

Aunt Li and Sister-in-law Li calmed down a bit after hearing what Grandpa Li said, but not completely, because in their opinion, Li Qiuyun, a mere girl, had no right to take any money and should not take a single penny.

So Aunt Li started talking about Grandma Li right then and there. Her husband and children were too embarrassed to say it, but she wasn't afraid of her.

"What do you mean? You have three grandsons and four granddaughters, how can you just give eight hundred yuan to Li Qiuyun? If Dad can't come up with a way to make up eight hundred yuan for our family, you have to find a way to make up for our money. Otherwise, I'm not leaving here."

Actually, Grandpa Li gave the job to Li Zhiguo, which made Aunt Li unhappy. Although they had given their family money and used it to smooth things over so that their son could also get a job, one job is not the same as another.

Grandpa Li worked at the food station, which was considered the best job these days. The job her son found couldn't compare to it at all. So Aunt Li had been unhappy for a long time, feeling that they shouldn't be compensated with the money they would earn for an ordinary job on the market, but rather with the compensation they would receive for finding a job at the food station.

In the end, they didn't offer much compensation; they just helped her son get a job and that was it. That won't do.

She was already dissatisfied with the old couple, and now that she heard that Grandma Li had given eight hundred yuan to a young girl, she was even more dissatisfied. No wonder she's making such a fuss now.
