Chapter 1047: Escaped (Part 2)
"These two are a curse."
Wang Chuang’s wife looked at the usual spots where they hid money. She took a look and only found a few small bills left, the large ones had disappeared.
No need to ask, it must have been Wang Meili who stole them.
Who else could it be!
"Are you dead?" Wang Chuang’s wife pointed at the old woman on the bed and scolded, "Look at the kind of daughter you raised, stealing money from her own family."
"Why didn’t you try to stop her?"
The old woman, "..."
She wished she could, but she was powerless.
"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and chase them!" She pointed at Wang Chuang, who had just entered, and said, "If you don’t get the money back, don’t come home. We can’t go on like this."
After saying that, she ran out with Wang Chuang, stopping at the door when she met her daughter Wang Cui Cui, "Where did you go?"
Wang Cui Cui was happily holding a small flower and replied cheerfully, "Mom, Wang Yu just talked to me."
"I told you to watch the house, why did you run off?" Wang Chuang’s wife said angrily.
If it weren’t for Wang Cui Cui being at home, she wouldn’t have felt comfortable going out.
"Wang Meiqi said Wang Yu was looking for me. Sure enough, I saw Wang Yu when I went out." Wang Cui Cui said happily, "Wang Yu talked to me, Mom. Do you think he might like me..."
The latter part was interrupted by a slap from Wang Chuang’s wife.
"You fool, our money has been stolen by those two bitches." No wonder, no wonder she didn’t see them when she got back.
It must have been planned in advance by those two: tricking Wang Cui Cui out first, then stealing the money.
It’s really despicable.
Huh?
Wang Cui Cui was also stunned.
The money was stolen!
Shouldn’t they hurry to find it?
Unfortunately, even after searching the entire village, they couldn’t find Wang Meili. Even searching further in Qin City, she was nowhere to be found.
"Sister Mei Qi, how long do we have to hide here?" In a secluded little hut, Wang Meiqi and Wang Meili were hiding, and Wang Meili asked softly.
"Wait a little longer. We’ll leave when night falls." Wang Meiqi said while eating a bun, "From here to Qin City, there’s only one route. If we go now, there’s a risk of getting caught."
Once they’re not found and it gets dark, they can head to Qin City, and then no one will be able to find them again.
"Where’s the money?" Wang Meiqi asked her.
"I’ve got it all sorted out," Wang Meili said with a smile.
This time, she absolutely won’t hand the money over to Wang Meiqi, lest it gets lost again. Then they’d have nothing left.
Wang Meiqi pouted, "How about we split the money and carry it separately? It’s safer that way."
"Don’t worry, Sister Mei Qi. I’ve already hidden it in several places." Wang Meili smiled.
No matter what, she just wouldn’t give the money to Wang Meiqi.
Wang Meiqi had no choice but to nibble on her bun and go to sleep.
Once they reach Qin City, she’ll slowly trick Wang Meili into handing over the money. For now, let her keep it warm.
Unaware of this, Wang Meili happily clutched her pockets.
Learning from past mistakes, she had placed money in different places, even secretly hiding a bit somewhere, just in case she lost the money on her, she’d have some for emergencies.
If only that money hadn’t been stolen, things would be better.
At least life would be manageable.
Wang Meiqi pouted.
Money, it doesn’t just pile up by saving alone.
You have to earn it!
But the problem is, how to earn it?
