She became rich after being dressed as a group pet

Chapter 380 The bride price theft case ([-])

Hearing that he was robbed, Jiang Zhimian couldn't help frowning deeply.

Since the Great War five years ago, the Kingdom of Jin has been enjoying good times and prosperity.

Not to mention that the only bandit nest that threatened the people of Anchang Town was taken over by them not long ago.

Those who dare to be so arrogant are probably acquaintances.

After all, the Lin family's house is the worst in Dadong Village.

If you don't know that there is a bride price just passed at home, I am afraid that the thief will not go in when he comes to the door.

"Sister Miao Miao, don't cry yet." Jiang Zhimian comforted her, "Think about it carefully, who knows about our family giving your family a bride price?"

"No one, our relatives don't get in touch at all. My mother said to suppress the bride price, and there is no rush to talk about it after we get married. To the outside world, we just say that you gave me a silver hairpin."

A silver hairpin is not too rare among the betrothal gifts in the countryside, but it is definitely not too rich.

It is obviously impossible to take a risk for a hairpin.

So after much deliberation, Jiang Zhimian still felt that the news had been leaked.

"Don't worry, sister Miao Miao, think about it carefully." Jiang Zhimian said.

But even if Lin Miaomiao thought about it, she couldn't think of it.

The only thing I can do is cry helplessly.

She felt sorry for the Jiang family.

They also bought so many betrothal gifts with money!

"All of this was caused by me, Jiang Lin, I don't want to hurt you, so I don't want to marry you. I will work hard to make money and return those bride price to you," Lin Miaomiao said.

Jiang Lin glared at her angrily, "You are crazy, how can you pay back such a colorful gift?"

Yes, how should she pay back?
Lin Miaomiao bit her lips helplessly, her deer-like eyes were wet.

"I'll weave a few more willow baskets and straw sandals. I will try my best to return them to you."

Even so, Lin Miaomiao was still very clear in her heart.

With the little money she earned, it was not easy to pay off the bride price.

At the same time, Jiang Lin also held her hand.

Seriously said, "I don't want you to return the bride price to me, I want you to marry me."

"But I'm a loser." Lin Miaomiao lowered her head.

"You are not a mourner. Someone must have seen that your family was rich, so they stole it while you were away." Jiang Lin said firmly.

Mrs. Jiang also saw it very clearly.

"Stupid girl, if someone can snatch things from that person just because he is a funeral star, then what are we doing to make money? Find a fake half-immortal to make offerings, and let him say that the richest owner in the town is Zuo Zhuang. It's the dead star, shouldn't we just go in and grab things?"

It was others who were jealous and did bad things, and had nothing to do with Lin Miaomiao.

Hearing this, Lin Miaomiao raised her head while sniffling.

Looking around at the Jiang family in the room, they all looked at him with firm eyes.

A warm current surged through my heart, "Thank you."

"Don't thank me, sister Miaomiao, I'll take you back, and take a look at what's going on." Jiang Zhimian said.

Others said, "We will go too."

So, the Jiang family, who had just arrived home, rushed to Dadong Village again.

When they arrived in the yard of Lin Miaomiao's house, they saw Lin's parents sitting on the muddy ground with blank eyes, like puppets.

The house was burglarized, it was so sad.

So much so that the Jiang family entered the yard, and they didn't even know it.

"Father, Mother, Grandma Jiang and the others are here." Lin Miaomiao stepped forward and shouted with sobs.

Only then did Father Lin come to his senses.

He felt very guilty when he saw Mrs. Jiang's concerned eyes.

"Sorry, we lost the bride price, it's all our fault."

It's fine, why go up the mountain to cut willow branches.

It doesn't have to be three people together.

Okay now!
"It's a trivial matter. It doesn't matter if I give another gift. I don't care about Miao Miao. She deserves two gifts." Mrs. Jiang comforted.

Hearing this, Father Lin felt even more guilty.

According to the unwritten rules of the Kingdom of Jin, if the betrothal gift given by the man is to be given half to the daughter as a dowry on the wedding day.

It's all right now, the Jiang family took out two betrothal gifts, but they can only dowry a quarter of these.

The Jiang family suffered a great loss.

"I...I will find a way to get money." Father Lin said.

"No need." Mrs. Jiang refused.

Although it is true that two betrothal gifts are a bit much, there is no other way.

Could it be that Jiang Lin and Lin Miaomiao should not get married just because the bride price was stolen?

"Don't worry, you can get back this gift." Jiang Zhimian said aside.

Lin Miaomiao was very excited, "Mianmian, what can you do?"

As long as she can get back this gift, she doesn't have to feel guilty anymore.

She hopes to find these gifts more than anyone else.

Jiang Zhimian reached out to her, "Do you still have the list of betrothal gifts from before?"

"Yes, yes, it's under my bed. I'll get it for you." Mother Lin hurriedly said.

When the list of materials was brought, Jiang Zhimian read the items on it.

Except for 50 taels of silver, the rest are food and clothing.

"Have you lost the 50 taels of silver?" Jiang Zhimian asked.

Mother Lin's expression was suddenly sad, "Yes, I hid on the beam of the house, just touched it, and it was gone."

It's normal to be gone.

After all, silver is real and easy to carry, so it is the most suitable to steal.

As for other cloth, garments, porcelain, etc., it is estimated that they are still in the village.

"You mean, the villagers stole my dowry?" Lin Miaomiao asked in surprise.

Jiang Zhimian nodded, "Yes, the villagers."

It only took more than an hour to go up the mountain to cut willow baskets, and the Lin family encountered a heavy rain halfway, which shortened the time even more.

Those who can pinpoint the time of their departure and commit crimes quickly must be from the village.

Did not run away.

Go to the village head now, and search door to door, and you will definitely find it.

Ever since Village Chief Kim was arrested, the person in charge now is a man in his thirties.

He has a good relationship with the Lin family.

Hearing about this incident, he immediately became filled with righteous indignation and expressed that he would fully cooperate.

Then, with the people of the Lin family and the Jiang family, they began to search from house to house, even the cellar where the sweet potatoes were piled up.

But I searched many houses, but found nothing.

Jiang Zhimian was calming Lin Miaomiao when he turned around and saw Zhu Ruyi's face was heavy and nervous.

Follow her gaze and look forward, and you can see the Zhu family's house by the small river.

In a little while, they should have gone to Zhu's house.

Zhu Ruyi, is she worried that if she sees Zhu Baishi for a while, she will remember the sad events of that night?

Jiang Zhimian thought about it, and planned to give her some comfort.

Walking forward, with a sweet smile on her pink and fair cheeks, she stretched out her hand towards Zhu Ruyi.
