After being plotted against by my best friend, I got into trouble with the domineering president

"Sister Zhao, what are you doing?" Li Muqing saw Sister Zhao, who also worked at the Lu family mansion, sneaking around and seemed to have put something in her big pocket just now.

"Ah..." Zhao Weilan, who was called Sister Zhao, was obviously frightened by Li Muqing's sudden appearance. Her hands trembled and the big bag almost fell to the ground.

"You scared me!" Zhao Weilan was anxious and angry. She tried to calm down, "Weren't you resting? Why did you suddenly run out?"

"As the saying goes, 'If you don't do anything wrong, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door.' Sister Zhao is so scared. Could it be that she has done something wrong?"

Li Muqing didn't want to talk nonsense with Zhao Weilan. She just saw clearly that Zhao Weilan put something in her pocket.

"Don't talk nonsense, what can I do to harm you?" Zhao Weilan's face looked a little unnatural, her eyes flickered, and she did not dare to look at Li Muqing.

"Then what's in your pocket?" Li Muqing pointed to Zhao Weilan's pocket, "For such a big pocket, the contents must be quite big."

"This..." Zhao Weilan was speechless. She didn't know how to answer Li Muqing's question.

"Is it Mrs. Lu's jewelry?" Li Muqing suddenly had an idea, "I just saw you in Mrs. Lu's room. You must have stolen Mrs. Lu's jewelry!"

"Don't talk nonsense, I don't have it!" Zhao Weilan's face became even more ugly, and she said anxiously, "This is my own thing and has nothing to do with Mrs. Lu."

"Your own things?" Li Muqing said in disbelief, "How could you, a servant, have such valuable things?"

"This... this is my family heirloom." Zhao Weilan said somewhat helplessly, "My grandma passed it on to me."

"Heirloom?" Li Muqing became even more suspicious, "Why do you hide the things your grandma passed down to you in your pocket? Why don't you keep them at home?"

"This..." Zhao Weilan was speechless again. She didn't know how to answer Li Muqing's question.

"I think you are lying!" Li Muqing said excitedly, "You must have stolen Mrs. Lu's jewelry and want to keep it for yourself!"

"No, it's not!" Zhao Weilan was about to burst into tears. "I really didn't steal Mrs. Lu's jewelry. This is really my family heirloom."

"Your family heirloom?" Li Muqing said reluctantly, "Then why didn't you tell me earlier? Why did you put it in your pocket secretly?"

"I...I..." Zhao Weilan didn't know how to answer, her tears finally flowed out, "I'm afraid of being taken away..."

"Snatched?" Li Muqing said in surprise, "Why was your heirloom taken away?"

"Don't mind my business. This is my family's thing anyway!" Zhao Weilan suddenly became tough.

She has been working at the Lu family for three years, how can she still be afraid of a new "little tender melon yangzi"?

"Haha - Sister Zhao, I advise you to put your things back. I can pretend that nothing happened today, but if you are stubborn, don't blame me for being rude!"

Li Muqing's expression remained unchanged. After all, she was invited by Sister Wen Qing, so she must have the Lu family's best interests in mind.

"Sister Zhao, I'm not trying to scare you. If Mrs. Lu finds out about this, I'm afraid you won't get anything good." Zhao Weilan was silent, as if she was weighing the pros and cons.

Li Muqing struck while the iron was hot, "Sister Zhao, it's too late to stop now. If we wait for Mrs. Lu to come back, it will not end well."

Zhao Weilan hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Okay, I believe you once."

She took out what was in her pocket. It was a jade ornament, beautifully carved and worth a lot of money at a glance.

With a "pop", Zhao Weilan knelt on the ground.

"Sister Zhao, what are you doing?" Li Muqing was startled by Zhao Weilan's sudden kneeling.

"Mu Qing, please don't tell anyone. There's nothing I can do about it. The children at home are sick, and there are older and younger children. It's really not easy." Zhao Weilan's voice was filled with tears.

"I can pretend that what happened today never happened. I hope that this kind of situation will not happen again in the future. Moreover, the treatment of the Lu family is really not low. I hope you can cherish the blessing."

After saying this coldly, Li Muqing turned around and left, ignoring Zhao Weilan who was kneeling on the spot.

Li Muqing came from a lower class, and she heard, saw, and knew too much.

There was a brother in the same village who bought a new car, and the people in the village were jealous.

The next day, when the brother was about to drive out, he found a spike under each of the four tires of the car.

That brother couldn't help but feel a chill in his back. A punctured tire was a minor matter, but if a car accident occurred because of it, it would be a life-threatening matter!

Another time, an uncle from the same village bought a lot of land and built a large and luxurious house that would be considered a luxury in every village in the country. This incident was very eye-catching.

One night, several people from the same village conspired to get the uncle drunk and stole most of his family's newly harvested grain.

Because there was no monitoring between the villages and lack of evidence, the people who stole the food were not caught, and the lost food was never recovered.

There are too many such things in the village. There is a sister from the same village who did not return home for several years after graduation because her situation is similar to Li Muqing.

It would be better not to have such a home, so Li Muqing understood why she didn't want to go home.

People in the village spread rumors that the girl had been sold to the mountains, but the reality was that the sister was working hard in the city and trying her best to escape from her original family.

Li Muqing knows deeply that poverty is not terrible, but the human heart is terrible. In the village where she grew up, people did not want others to live better than themselves.

These people do not know how to work hard to change their lives. Instead, they are full of jealousy of the happy lives of others, and even do things that endanger the lives and property safety of others.

Such behavior is not only shameful, but also illegal.

There is a sentence in "The Shackles of Humanity": "If a person's pocket is empty, he will become careless, stingy, stingy, and greedy."

Li Muqing deeply agreed with this. Poverty is definitely not a good thing, because 99% of the causes of poverty are laziness and bad habits, and only 1% are accidents and natural and man-made disasters.

On the contrary, rich people tend to become kind and compassionate. Although the rich are cruel, it is definitely different from the cruelty of the bottom.

This is what the saying goes, "Poverty breeds treachery, wealth breeds conscience."

This does not mean that rich people are necessarily good and poor people are necessarily evil. But this quote does serve as a reminder that life circumstances can have a profound impact on a person’s character and behavior.

Imagine that when a person lives in poverty and struggles for basic survival every day, he may make some decisions that go against his nature due to the pressure of life.

Relatively speaking, those who live in affluent environments have more resources and opportunities to cultivate conscience and do the right things.

So Li Muqing knew that Sister Zhao would never change her bad hands and feet.
