Chapter 220: 220 Accomplices with the Robber (Second Update)

The Su Guisheng family, due to the theft of money in the house, neither spouse got up for breakfast and were currently sprawling on the bed like corpses.

The more Ma Donghua thought about it, the more it seemed wrong; she sat up abruptly and tapped Su Guisheng, "Guisheng, the more I think about this, the more it seems off. The adversary said Xiaofeng had hidden the real one and given us the fake, which means the real one is still on Xiaofeng."

Who would have thought that Xiaofeng, previously unnoticeable, was so cunning?

The key issue now was how Xiaofeng had known they would come to her door with people and when she had hidden the real thing; she couldn’t have swapped it right under their noses.

She had watched Xiaofeng remove the bracelet; there could be no mistake, when was it?

Su Guisheng thought of Liu An and his eyes shifted, "I think this definitely has something to do with Liu An; he must have tipped off Xiaofeng beforehand."

"You explain."

"This Liu An, he’s always been a lazy good-for-nothing; he was advising us on one hand and tipping off Xiaofeng on the other. This way, Xiaofeng would surely be grateful to him. Who knows, maybe last night’s culprits split some of the money stolen from our house with Liu An."

If not for Liu An, how would they have known there was money in his house.

"The more you talk about it, the more sense it makes," Ma Donghua thought about it more, and it indeed seemed plausible, "That Liu An, he’s truly despicable. Is he banking on us keeping quiet?" She felt weak thinking about her own ten thousand yuan gone just like that, too dispirited even to work.

Saving for over ten years, to be back to square one in a single day, who could accept this?

"No matter what, whether it’s Liu An or Xiaofeng, they made it hard for us to live well, we cannot let them live well either." If it weren’t for Liu An’s sly suggestions, their cash couldn’t possibly have been stolen.

"You want to deal with Liu An?" Su Guisheng shook his head, "Setting aside the fact that he’s a scoundrel, consider that he’s now Su Changgeng’s son-in-law; do you think Su Changgeng would agree to us dealing with him?"

Though Su Changgeng doesn’t talk much in the village, he’s ruthless in his actions, that’s why Hu Xiulan could be so audacious there too.

Ma Donghua fell silent.

How could this be; suffered a loss but couldn’t settle scores with anyone.

Su Guisheng also couldn’t sleep, getting up from the bed, "All things considered, it still points back to Xiaofeng. If Xiaofeng had just shared the items earlier, would any of this have happened? She was heartless first, so she can’t blame us for being ruthless towards her."

"Right." Ma Donghua also felt it was all Xiaofeng’s fault, "Our money is gone, she has to return it to us."

"Don’t worry, we definitely must get our money back from her, but not now. We can’t make a commotion about this anymore; we need to figure this out ourselves." If it weren’t for Liu An meddling, things wouldn’t have turned out this way.

"Su Guisheng, what are you planning to ask from me?" Ma Donghua wanted to say more, but Xiaofeng, who had been eavesdropping outside for a while and saw that villagers were about to come over, entered the house.

Hearing Xiaofeng’s voice, Su Guisheng and Ma Donghua quickly turned their heads.

"You damn girl, when did you come in? You sneaked in without a sound; trying to scare someone to death?" Ma Donghua scrambled to put on her clothes.

This damn girl, truly lacks all decency, randomly barging into someone else’s room, completely disrespectful.

"If I hadn’t come in, when would I have heard such an exciting conversation?" Xiaofeng didn’t look at the two, simply leaning against the wall, surveying the room’s setting, "What are you planning to ask from me?"

"Of course it’s money." Ma Donghua didn’t look away, seeing Xiaofeng, she was livid, "You tell me, are you in cahoots with Liu An? You let Liu An come up with schemes for ’businessmen’ to go to your place to buy antiques, when in fact you were targeting my house, and you robbed all the cash. You damn girl, my savings of nearly ten years, gone overnight, you have to compensate us."

As long as she was convinced that Liu An and Xiaofeng were in it together, Xiaofeng had no escape,

To Xiaofeng’s surprise, hearing Ma Donghua’s words was absolutely shocking, "Auntie, what are you saying? Your money was stolen? Who dares to rob you outright?"

"Those three damned souls from yesterday." Xiaofeng shouldn’t have brought it up; once she did, Ma Donghua burst into sobbing wails, "We had barely saved up just under ten thousand yuan, and now, it’s all gone."

"Xiaofeng." Su Guisheng also felt his heart bleed, "Do you know those three people from yesterday, did you and Liu An bring them here?

Xiaofeng looked at them and listened to what they were saying, her heart forming a single thought; some people simply never learn, even after suffering a loss. She smiled softly and said, "Uncle, listen to yourself. Weren’t you the ones who brought people over, claiming that someone would pay a high price for the bracelet in my possession? Since it was someone you brought, I handed the bracelet over to you. I should be asking you, where is my bracelet, and how much did it sell for? I came back today specifically to collect that money."

She came back today specifically for the money. Where was it?

Ma Donghua, hearing Xiaofeng demand money, went utterly insane, "What money? The bracelet you gave us yesterday was fake! You hid the real one and caused trouble for me and your uncle. You wretched girl, today I must discipline you on behalf of your brother and sister-in-law, you wild child from who knows where."

She had given them a fake bracelet, and still dared to come asking for money.

Ma Donghua, seizing a wooden stick from a corner of the room, glared ferociously at Xiaofeng, "You wretched girl, you’re not even my brother’s daughter, you’re just a bastard. You schemed against us, robbed our money; you will not die a good death."

Xiaofeng felt a chill in her eyes upon hearing the word ’bastard’.

She had originally planned to request Officer Hong to return the money to them, but now it seemed entirely unnecessary, "Ma Donghua, I was actually planning to plead on your behalf in front of Officer Hong, but now I see that’s entirely unnecessary." Xiaofeng shouted, "Officer Hong, come on in."

Officer Hong had been listening to the commotion inside all along, and he couldn’t help but marvel at the domestic drama.

At Officer Hong’s movement, the other villagers who had come to watch also stirred.

They had been there for a while. They had been about to speak up, but seeing the police at the door signaling them to be quiet, they dared not make a sound and just stood silently at the door, afraid to even move.

They had listened for quite some time before they understood that last night Su Guisheng and his wife crying wasn’t for nothing. It was because their home had been robbed and their money stolen.

The money was gone, and they still wanted to pin it on Xiaofeng.

No, no, that’s not quite right.

It seemed that Su Guisheng and his wife had taken people to find Xiaofeng, and then something had happened. It sounded chaotic, but listening a bit longer would undoubtedly make it clear.

Seeing the suddenly appearing police and villagers, Ma Donghua and Su Guisheng were dumbfounded.

How long had they been there, and what had they all heard?

Realizing what she had just said, Ma Donghua hurried outside the room, smiling at everyone, "What I said earlier was just joking with Xiaofeng. Although Guisheng and I don’t have much money, we’re not easy targets for robbery. We haven’t been robbed."

If everyone found out their money was gone, the other villagers would surely look down on them and laugh at them.

So she definitely wouldn’t let everyone make a mockery of them.

Listenting to Ma Donghua’s words, and recalling her earlier tone, the villagers became confused. Was the money still there or not?

Officer Hong took a few steps forward, "You are Su Guisheng and Ma Donghua, right?"

"Comrade, I am Su Guisheng. May I ask who you are?"

He hadn’t called the police; why were they here?

Officer Hong signaled to a nearby officer to step forward and explain the situation. A young officer approached, "This is the situation: we apprehended a robbery gang last night at an intersection in the county town. According to their confession, they planned to swindle a bracelet from Miss Su that day, and you were their accomplices. Because you switched Miss Su’s real bracelet for a fake, they flew into a rage and robbed your home. We came today to verify this matter and also to investigate whether you were involved in other crimes they committed."

Listenting to the young officer’s explanation made Xiaofeng want to laugh.

Listen to this, they were practically equating Su Guisheng and his wife to last night’s gang.

Upon hearing this, Su Guisheng could not admit to such an accusation, "Comrade, don’t listen to their nonsense. My wife and I are honest farmers, how could we possibly be in league with robbers? No, definitely not."

Ma Donghua also rushed to deny, "Yes, we didn’t know them at all before. They came to our door yesterday claiming to be employees of some cultural company, saying they could pay a high price for antiquities. Knowing Xiaofeng had such an item, we just took them to the city to see it, merely showing them the way, we didn’t know them at all."

"Uncle, aunt, you’re being too hasty. My father and aunt aren’t even worried, why are you so anxious?" Xiaofeng smiled slyly.
