"Shouqin's wife, have you misunderstood the child?"

An aunt said on the side.

"He's going to buy osmanthus candy with the stolen money. Hmp!, Eldest brother in law's family can't even eat enough food. How can they give so much money to a child? Just last night, these two children stayed at my mother's home. They probably took the opportunity to steal my money. "

Qiu's nose faced up the sky, spreading her hands, there was exactly fifteen copper plates.

"We're not sure if its really the boy who stole it."

"Fifteen coppers which family is willing to give a child so much money?"

"The child has grown up sly."

Gu Chunzu frowned at the voices on the crowd, she pulled XiaoCheng behind her and said aloud: "I know my own child's character! I gave this money to him!"

"Did you hear that? Gu Chunzhu is a shrew, she also raised a little thief."

Qiu' shi got a lot of energy, she had suffered losses the previous times. Today, Old Mrs. Su asked her to buy soy sauce. She happened to see the child holding fifteen coppers to buy things.

Gu Chunzhu didn't expect Qiu to be so shameless, her eyes narrowed in anger and pointed to Qiu: "I have a way to prove that this is my money, not yours! If you slander Xiaocheng, would you kneel down and apologize to him? "

"I still insist that this money is mine. Did the money have a name on it? "

Qiu's mouth raised with disdain.

After turning around in the crowd, she waved her hand and said: "Everyone should not leave and watch. I'd like to see how Gu Chunzhu prove that the money belongs to her."

"Juhua Niang, give me a bowl of water. "Gu Chunzhu said to the shop owner.

The shop owner quickly poured a bowl of water and handed it to Gu Chunzhu, she walked to the side of Qiu, holding the bowl of water; "Put the money here!"

"This is my money." Qiu clenched her palm tightly and refused to put the money down.

"Don't you want me to prove it? Are you afraid that everyone will know that you are full of lies?" Gu Chunzhu incited her. There are so many people, Qiu certainly wont admit to lying.

Qui shi believed that Gu Chunzhu have a trick on her sleeve

As soon as Qiu's hand loosened, a few copper plates fell into the bowl.

The touch on the copper plates on the bowl made a nice "ding" sound.

Gu Chunzhu sneered and showed the water to everyone, "Please be the witness. I bought meat in the town yesterday and the money was from the butcher's wife. The butcher's wife touched oil from pork and meat all day long. Oil is also on the copper plate. Look at this water! "

Sure enough, there were several oil floating on the water in the bowl.

"Did you also buy meat at home? I also bought meat, This money is from buying meat!" Qiu shi screamed, anyway, there was no writing on the copper plate, she must not let Gu Chunzhu take the money back.

"Can you still buy meat? As far as I know, you eat and live with Mother. The food is personally bought by Mother. You can't buy meat at all, and it was also third sister in law who cook the food. How can your hands have lard or oil if you're that lazy! "

Gu Chunzhu said a few words that left Qiu Shi speechless.

Qiu's face changed a few colors, she wanted to grab the bowl from Gu Chunzhu.

Gu Chunzhu gave her slap with a "pa".

"Yesterday you instructed Xiaocheng to go to the river to catch you prawns. In case such a young child falls into the river....." Gu Chunzhu slapped Qiu Shi and was trembling with anger. .

She continued: "We earn little money by selling river prawns so I gave XiaoCheng some pocket money to spend, yet here you are, robbing the child's money, so shameless!"

"Gu Chunzhu you hit me again! Give me the money, this is my money! " Qiu shi gritted her teeth and looked at Gu Chunzhu desperately.

"Shouqin's wife that's enough, don't embarrass yourself anymore"

"Yeah, Wangqin's family separated without taking anything, they finally made some money. You still take it away."

"If she keep inisiting that the 15 coppers belongs to her, report it to an official. Anyway, Wangqin's family has a butcher's wife as a witness. We also have seen the money floating in oil."

The last sentence was from the small shop owner, Juhua Niang.

When Qiu shi heard the word "Report", her head shrunk like a quail. She knew she was guilty and will have to eat her meals in prison.

She was ready to leave in disgrace, when Gu Chunzhu stopped in front of her.

"Did you forget what I just said?"

If she proved that the money belongs to her, Qui Shi would have to kneel down and apologize.

"No, I'm Xiaocheng's second aunt. How can I kneel to a junior? No, no!" Qiu Shi hurriedly waved her hand, her face ugly.

"Wangqin wife should forget about it! She hit XiaoCheng and you had hit her even " Someone on the side came to make things right, after all, they are all from the Su family.

Gu Chunzhu raised an eyebrow and gave this person a face, "Okay, then don't let her kneel down, but apologizing is a must. My child was wrongfuly accused of being a thief. If I didn't prove it today, was he not stigmatized all his life? "

" Bah, what stigma, he's not a scholar, he'll be a muddler in the future "

Qiu shi whispered, She failed in getting the 15 coppers and was in faced off again, she felt uncomfortable.

"You say that again?!!" Gu Chunzhu pointed at her nose and held the bowl in her hand. As long as Qiu said something awful, she's not sure if she can control smashing the bowl on her head.

Qiu shi shook twice and looked at Gu Chunzhu's ruthless face, humming under her lips, "I'm sorry."

"I'm sorry who?! louder!" Gu Chunzhu raised the bowl in her hand.

"I'm sorry Xiaocheng, your second aunt has wronged you!" Qiu Shi shouted loudly, feeling even more ashamed. She pushed the crowd and ran away, leaving only an embarrassed figure in everyone's eyes.

"It's all gone, go away." Juhua Niang waved her hand to send the onlookers away.

Gu Chunzhu took the money out of the bowl, drained it in her hands and handed it to Xiaocheng's.

Looking at the kid's tightly frowned eyebrows, Gu Chunzhu smiled softly at him, "Mother just heard it outside. This time you have learned to resist, but the next time you encounter your aunt to make a mess, you have to use your brain. Understand? "

"Understood." XiaoCheng held the wet copper plates with a firm expression on his eyes.

She took the two children and stood at the door of the shop, she gave the bowl back to Juhua Niang and thanked her. She also asked for an osmanthus candy and some melon seeds, she took out two coppers from her sleeves and handed it over.

"Wangqin's family, can you really make money by selling shrimps?"

Juhua Niang grabbed a handful of osmanthus candy and melon seeds and wrapped them in oil paper. Her eyes sparkled.

They are all from the same village. They opened their mouths and asked if there's a way to make money. Gu Chunzhu didn't blame her. Juhua Niang also helped her just now.

She said straight away, "We sell at a stall in the town. A stall costs one copper a day and I paid for one month. I sell river prawns for 5 coppers per bowl. If anyone wants to catch them, they can sell it to me for 3 coppers. "
