Chapter 201
At this time, the alley was crowded with people, all of whom came to watch the fun.
"What happened? Did the two families fight?"
"No! It was that Lin who slapped Xiaoyu twice and insisted that she stole her family's meat."
"Ah? No way? Xiaoyu seems to be a well-behaved girl. She doesn't look like someone who would steal something, does she?"
"Who knows?"
Xiaoyu was held tightly in the arms of her grandmother, and opposite her stood the spitting Lin and the complacent Lin Jinbao.
Lin put her hands on her hips and said, "Ji, you raised a good granddaughter who specializes in stealing other people's flesh! Now she has come to steal from my family, do you have any shame?"
Grandma Ji was trembling, but she spoke firmly, "You are talking nonsense. My granddaughter would never steal the meat from your house. Didn't you hear Xiaoyu say that the restaurant owner gave her the meat? It was obviously your son who tried to rob her!"
"Bah! Do you think your daughter is some kind of fairy or golden boy? People are eager to give her meat to eat? She stole my things and still dares to be stubborn. I will tear her mouth apart!"
Xiaoyu had tears in her eyes. Just when she ran back, she was caught by Lin. Her bamboo tube was snatched away and she was slapped twice.
Lin had beaten her at noon today, saying that she had bumped into her without paying attention when she went out.
She remembered that the meat was given to her by Sister Ruyi, and wondered if she could ask Sister Ruyi to testify for her.
But when she thought about how busy she was with her business, she gave up the idea.
Lin Jinbao pointed at Xiaoyu and said, "It was her. My mother gave me money to buy meat, but she took it away after seeing it! She even said it was given to her by someone else! She is a liar!"
"...I didn't! You stole it from me, not me from you!" Xiaoyu argued loudly, and was glared back by Lin. However, she felt that she was not wrong, so she raised her head and looked directly at Lin.
"He was the one who stole my things! He even called me a bastard!"
After hearing this, Ji Ah Nai's chest ached with anger. "Lin! I used to be very tolerant of you because our two families lived close to each other, but you bullied us again and again! Do you really think we are easy to bully?"
Xiaoyu quickly reached out and stroked Grandma Ji's chest, feeling a little regretful. If she had known that Grandma would quarrel with Lin to seek justice for her, she would not have wanted the bamboo tube meat.
It was not worth it to hurt grandma's body for the sake of meat. She wanted to give up and give the meat to the Lin family.
Grandma Ji saw through the little girl's thoughts and held her hand, signaling her not to speak. She knew that if she gave in today, Lin would become even more rampant in the future.
"Since you said you gave money to Jinbao to buy the meat, let's go to Ruyi Restaurant and ask their boss!"
Xiaoyu's eyes lit up. Yes, if I can't ask Sister Ruyi to come over, then I can just go find Sister Ruyi.
She snuggled up to Grandma and said loudly, "Yes! Then let's go find Sister Ruyi! She will definitely testify for me!"
Lin looked at her son, and both mother and son felt a little guilty.
"Go, just go! Who's afraid of who?" Although he said this, he didn't sound confident enough.
She also knew the restaurant that the wild girl mentioned. She had taken Lin Jinbao there several times in the past two days to eat there for free. After eating there twice, they would go back to change clothes and then go back to eat again so that others would not recognize them.
If she didn't have too many clothes, she would have been able to keep eating.
There's no way the restaurant owner would speak up for this wild girl, right?
Yes, why would the restaurant owner be so kind? Could it be that it is really like what the wild girl said, that the meat was given by the restaurant owner?
That doesn't make sense. They open a door to do business, not to do charity.
Thinking of this, she became more confident, and pulled her son to her side and said loudly, "Let's go now! Today I'm going to let you know that it's not so easy to let go of stealing from me!"
Mrs. Lin, her son Lin Jinbao, Xiaoyu and Grandma Ji rushed towards Ruyi Restaurant. Other people in the alley who came to watch the fun also followed them, holding bowls in their hands, eating while watching the fun.
"What do you think? Did Xiaoyu from the Ji family steal things from the Lin family?" An aunt took a bite of rice and asked another woman who was eating from a bowl beside her.
"Who knows? But if you dare to ask the restaurant owner, it should be stolen, right?"
The aunt curled her lips, "If that's the case, then how dare Xiaoyu and the Ji family go to the restaurant owner to testify after stealing Lin's things?"
"Then I don't know... Hey, your loofah is delicious, give me a piece."
A group of people went to Ruyi Restaurant chatting and laughing.
Xiaoyu and Grandma Ji relaxed. They were not afraid because it was indeed a gift from the boss's sister.
Jiang Qin was leading the mule back to the village when he saw a group of people coming towards him from afar. He wondered if anyone would come to eat so late at night.
When I got closer, I found that the person walking in front was the little girl I had seen during the day, and there was an old lady following her.
He immediately went into the store and told Zhong Ruyi about it.
"At this time?" Zhong Ruyi was also surprised. He went out to take a look and saw that indeed there were more than a dozen people there.
She didn't say anything, wanting to see what these people were here for.
When Xiaoyu saw her come out, she was about to speak, but was pushed away by Lin.
Lin smiled flatteringly, "Boss Zhong, this is what happened. I asked my son to buy some meat today. When he was going back, he happened to meet Ji Xiaoyu who lives in the same courtyard. This girl came up and snatched the meat from my son, saying that you gave it to her. So, I came to ask Boss Zhong to help me testify."
Zhong Ruyi was also busy today and did not notice whether the son mentioned by Lin came to buy meat, but this Lin looked somewhat familiar.
The meat for Xiaoyu was indeed given by myself, and I specially saved it and gave it to her with my own hands.
There was no way Xiaoyu would steal Lin's meat.
Thinking of this, she asked Lin, "Who received your son when he came to buy meat today? I'll ask her to come out and testify for you."
"Ah?" Lin was dumbfounded. How could things develop in this direction? Shouldn't the restaurant owner just confirm that he had never given Xiaoyu meat?
As long as it is confirmed that the meat from Xiaoyu was not given by the restaurant owner, there is no need for you to say anything. The meat belongs to you and was just stolen by her.
"My son is still young, how can he remember who received him? And the Ji family is so poor, where did they get the money to buy meat for Ji Xiaoyu? Isn't this stealing from my family?"
The more she spoke, the more confident she became. Yes, the meat was from their own family, and the restaurant owner would never give the meat to Xiaoyu!
Zhong Ruyi asked back, "Didn't I just say that I didn't give the meat? It's because I gave it that I said I would ask the person who received your son to come out and testify for you."
what?
Lin was shocked.
This meat was actually given by the restaurant owner?
Wouldn't it be exposed if I came here alone today?
She didn't even ask her son to buy meat!
Lin Jinbao was also panicked.
He is already eleven years old and is not an ignorant child. He has never bullied Ji Xiaoyu in such a big way before. Now everyone knows that he was the one who stole Ji Xiaoyu's meat and framed her?
When Zhong Ruyi saw that the two of them stopped talking, she guessed what was going on. She also blamed herself for giving Xiaoyu so much meat at once. How could she not be jealous if someone saw it?
