Quick Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder's Comeback in the Era Tales-Chapter 56: The Poor Child Killed by His Uncle 12

In the afternoon, Yuan Chun heard about Ge Xiaodan being arrested, and the police officers also found three hundred yuan from Ge Xiaodan’s room.

Although the amount didn’t match, thirty jin of cotton was missing.

The police suspected that the extra money was from Ge Xiaodan selling the cotton.

But Ge Xiaodan didn’t admit to it.

He had stolen the money just last night and hadn’t had a chance to spend it. How could it be his brother-in-law’s lost money? But no one believed what he said, and he didn’t dare say which family he stole from.

In the end, Ge Xiaodan was arrested.

The money was taken back by Liu Tiezhu.

Liu Tiezhu also cut off ties with the Ge family on the spot, which made the old couple of the Ge family faint with anger.

When Ge Cuihua found out, she was desperate for Liu Tiezhu to save Ge Xiaodan, but instead, Liu Tiezhu pinned her to the ground and beat her up severely.

Liu Tiezhu angrily questioned her, "If you didn’t tell Ge Xiaodan about our money hiding spot, how would he know?"

"Ge Cuilan, I’m warning you, if you want to go back to your natal family, I’m not stopping you, but once you return there, don’t expect to enter my Liu Family’s door again. A woman like you, who eats from the inside and spreads it outside, I’m done with."

Ge Cuilan sat on the ground, crying her heart out.

But she didn’t mention rescuing Ge Xiaodan from her family again.

That night, Yuan Chun went out again to her second uncle’s house, took the money that hadn’t even warmed up yet, and also took a thermos from the cupboard.

This thermos was bought by her father for her grandfather, but her second uncle took it when the family divided the assets.

Her second uncle, with pus oozing from his feet, doesn’t deserve to use something her father bought.

The next day, Liu Tiezhu’s house was in a commotion again, and soon the police came to the village once more; only this time, after investigating for a month, no clues were found, and the matter was left unresolved.

However, Liu Tiezhu suspected that the money was stolen by Ge Cuilan.

Yesterday, when the money was lost but found again, he slept happily with it in his arms. Only Ge Cuilan knew, and only Ge Cuilan could get the money. He suspected that she hated him for hitting her, for causing Ge Xiaodan to go to jail, and for cutting ties with the Ge family, so Ge Cuilan was taking revenge on him.

The more Liu Tiezhu thought about it, the more he felt his suspicion was correct.

As a result, Ge Cuilan was beaten by Liu Tiezhu again.

Liu Tiezhu questioned her, "Tell me, where have you hidden the money? As long as you bring it out, I won’t hold you accountable. If you don’t, I’ll beat you to death."

"Wuu... you’re going to falsely accuse me to death! I didn’t take the money; it’s been in your hands the whole time. How could I have taken it? I swear, if I took it, may I be struck by five thunderbolts and die a bad death."

People back then were quite superstitious.

Liu Tiezhu paused, doubting his suspicion, "If it wasn’t you, then who took it? Before sleeping last night, I specially checked the door bolt. It was latched, and no one could enter our room."

"How would I know, ugh... Since dad died, we’ve been unlucky. I fell and broke my face, twisted my hand. The household chores for the past few days were all done by Hongjun and Yu Zhu. You also hurt your back, and there’s a bump on the back of your head. Ah... dear, let’s buy some paper money tomorrow and burn it for dad, begging him to spare us. If this continues, we won’t survive."

Liu Tiezhu sat on the bench, his expression gloomy, "You have some money left, right? Go buy some tomorrow, buy more."

"Dear, I don’t have any money left. How about we borrow some money from someone? We can’t live with not a single cent."
