Gu Rao said calmly, "Whether I'm lying or not, you know best in your heart. You also know where you went yesterday and what you took away."

"There are some things that I can't say right now. I want to save you some face and give you a chance. As long as the property is returned to its original owner, I can forget about it."

Li Shen was still lucky and told himself that she just doubted him. There was no evidence to prove that it was him, and he could not reveal his flaws on his own.

"I do not understand what you're saying!"

Gu Rao's mood suddenly improved, and he even had a smile on his lips.

"You think no one saw it?"

Zhang San and Chen Zhong were not fools. Although Gu Rao didn't say it explicitly, those words were very pointed, and he could probably guess that things were not that simple.

"Li Shen, did you take something from another boss's house?"

There was something wrong with the look in Li Shen's eyes. In the past, I only knew that Li Shen was withdrawn, but now I realized that he was actually a dirty person.

It’s better to stay away from him in the future.

Now you steal other people's things, but in the future you will steal your own things.

The looks in the eyes of Zhang San and Chen Zhong were like needles piercing their bodies, and they were getting more and more nervous in their hearts, but they still planned to fight to death and refuse to admit it. He did not believe that Bieye and Gu Rao could really find the evidence.

"no!"

"Don't listen to her nonsense. There is no evidence. Why do you think I stole their things? There were so many guests here for dinner yesterday. Who knows who sneaked up to the second floor."

Gu Rao raised his eyebrows.

"I haven't said what I lost, how do you know that my things were lost on the second floor?"

Li Shen was so nervous that he stuttered.

"Who is a normal person... who would put valuable things in a place where everyone can see them? With so many people coming in to eat at your house every day, you would definitely not put valuable things downstairs. You don't need to think about it to know that they are placed upstairs. I’m here, is there any problem?”

Gu Rao looked at Li Shen for a while.

"I gave you a chance, but if you don't cherish it, when I sue the government, you will end up dead."

Li Shen doesn't plan to stay any longer.

"If you want to sue the official, then sue the official. Anyway, I didn't steal it. I'm not afraid of the shadow. I have nothing to say to you!"

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Zhang San looked at Li Shen's back with a sigh in his eyes. After looking away, he asked Gu Rao curiously, "Boss Gu, can I ask what you lost?"

Chen Zhong also joined in the fun.

"Is it valuable?"

It should be valuable. If it were not valuable, Boss Gu wouldn't be so angry, let alone sue the government.

Gu Rao said bluntly, "I lost two taels of silver and some valuable jewelry."

Zhang Sanyi was shocked when he heard that it was twenty taels of silver. "I lost so much money. It will take me a long time. I must sue the official!"

He would feel sad for a long time if he lost even a penny, let alone such a huge amount as two taels of silver.

Chen Zhongyi said angrily, "Boss Gu, there were so many people eating in your store at that time. I remember several people who came to your place to eat with me. They should have seen Li Shen at that time. It is very possible that they saw Li Shen with their own eyes. People who are on the second floor of your house, it is too late today, I will go door to door to help you find out tomorrow."

Zhang San also reacted, patted his chest and said, "I finally ate two free rice dumplings from Boss Gu today. I helped Boss Gu. How could I be left out?"

"I can help you too!"

A warm current surged into Gu Rao's heart, and she said with a smile, "Thank you both very much. I don't know how to repay you, so I'll give you a rice dumpling each."

Zhang San and Chen Zhong looked at each other and declined, "It's just a small favor. There's no need to be so polite to us. We're not just looking for reward when we help you."

If they accepted the rice dumplings, wouldn't their good intentions turn into something else?

Gu Rao saw what they were thinking and said with a smile, "You are helping out of good intentions, and I can't let you help us go in vain."

Without giving them a chance to refuse, he turned around and went back to the kitchen and took out a chopstick.

"Each of you choose one."

Zhang San was the first to resist the temptation, so he still reached out and hesitated between the eight-cent and five-cent one. In the end, he was too embarrassed to choose the eight-cent one, so he chose the five-cent eight-treasure bean rice dumpling.

He has never tasted this flavor.

Chen Zhong arrived a little late to register today. The free quota of salted egg yolk meat rice dumplings was gone, and even the sales were sold out. He had no chance to taste the salted egg yolk meat rice dumplings that others said were delicious.

With the opportunity presented to him, he naturally did not give up and shamelessly chose a salted egg yolk meat dumpling, determined in his heart to help Boss Gu!

You can't eat her salted egg yolk meat dumplings in vain.

-

Worried about not digesting rice dumplings at night, Gu Rao cooked a pot of millet porridge, drank a small bowl of millet porridge, and felt full after eating a piece of fresh pork.

Bieye only drank two bowls of porridge, ate one fresh pork rice dumpling and one salted egg yolk meat rice dumpling, and then put down his bowls and chopsticks.

Gu Rao was a little surprised.

"Why did you eat so little today?"

"No appetite?"

Bieye shook his head.

"I ate too many rice dumplings today. It may be a bit difficult to digest. I'm not very hungry yet. Let's save the remaining rice dumplings for tomorrow."

Gu Rao nodded.

"it is good."

"Go take down the dirty clothes from upstairs and soak them first. It will be easier to wash them tomorrow morning."

Other wild people should come down.

"it is good."

After Bieye left, Gu Rao put the remaining rice dumplings in the refrigerator in the space to prevent them from becoming smelly tomorrow.

Although it's only May, the weather is already getting hotter.

Since she decided to store the rice dumplings in the refrigerator, she also made plans to get up earlier than Bieye tomorrow and go to the kitchen to take out the rice dumplings before Bieye, so as to avoid being discovered by Bieye that the rice dumplings were missing.

-

At night, Gu Rao tossed and turned in bed without falling asleep.

Bieye asked, "Are you having insomnia?"

Gu Rao had a big head.

"Well, sort of."

If she hadn't decided to get up early tomorrow, she might have fallen asleep by now, but every time something happened the next day, she would have to sleep very late the first day.

But every time she didn't believe in evil, she felt that she would definitely be able to get up the next day.

Bieye was used to sleeping on his back, and this time was no exception. Hearing this, he turned over, lay on his side, hugged Gu Rao into his arms, and said, "Then let me tell you a story."

Gu Rao was a little surprised.

"Can you tell stories?"

Beyeye nodded.

"When I was a kid, I heard it from other kids, and every time they stayed up at night, their parents would tell them that story."

Gu Rao became interested.

"Speak quickly."

Bieye's voice was low and leisurely.

"Once upon a time there was a remote mountain village..."

As soon as Gu Rao heard this beginning, he knew it was not a boring story about a mountain, a temple on the mountain, and a monk in the temple, and the expectations in his heart were even higher.

Bieye's voice continued.

"There was a family of four living in the mountains. One day, the parents of the two sisters had to go away for something, so they were sent to their grandmother's house..."
