“Mother, how can you doubt me? I’m your good son. I really didn’t lie. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Mrs. Wu.” Chu Jin was confident about this. He did not feel guilty at all. He was not stupid. He deliberately sold it for a hundred copper coins more. He did not want Wu Huzi to regret it, so he naturally had to find his parents to testify.
Reality told him that this decision was correct.
He secretly glanced at his mother, who seemed to be no longer angry and heaved a sigh of relief.
‘It seems like my mother is afraid that I’ll get into trouble, and not really sad that I sold the bracelet,’ Chu Jin thought to himself.
With this knowledge, Chu Jin was relieved. He was in a better mood than ever. As long as his mother was not angry, he could develop his hobby in peace. He was excited when he thought that he could soon exchange his silver savings for gold.
“We can’t let this matter go .” Ye Muyu stood up while holding the ruler.
Chu Jin’s relaxed heart was instantly lifted again. He felt that his hand was clear again as if he had been happy too early.
Sure enough, Ye Muyu said softly, “Since you don’t want the bracelet, then return the money to Mother.”
“Let’s go, Ziluo. Take Mother to find your brother’s money box!”
“Ah, Mother, just hit me!” Chu Jin hurriedly ran over and hugged her leg, howling.
Ye Muyu did not agree to his request. Instead, she took Chu Ziluo away and found the wooden box that Chu Jin used to store the silver.
She only left ten copper coins for Chu Jin and confiscated the rest.
Chu Jin was stunned for a moment when he saw the money that he thought he had hidden well. He mumbled, “That’s impossible. I hid it very well. How did mother know?”
Ye Muyu had already left with the money box.
Chu Ziluo, on the other hand, was still in the house. When she heard her brother’s words, she sighed and shook her head. “Brother, do you really think I don’t know that you’re saving money?”
“I don’t believe it. Next time, I’ll find a good place to hide. Mother definitely won’t be able to find it,” Chu Jin said aggressively, patting his chest as a guarantee.
Chu Ziluo glanced at her silly little brother and raised her eyebrows. “Sure! I bet Mother will be able to find it again next time.” She smiled.
“Hmph, I will think of a safer place this time. Mother will definitely not be able to find it!” Chu Jin said indignantly.
“Brother,” Chu Ziluo asked curiously when she noticed that her brother’s attention had been diverted. “All your money has been taken away. Do you still have money to hide?”
“Don’t mention such a sad thing. I’m so sad.” Chu Jin instantly put on a sorrowful expression.
“Are you really sad?” Chu Ziluo was slightly surprised.
Chu Jin was already counting his fingers. “I was only one or two taels of silver short of a small piece of gold!”
“Looks like I have to save it again.”
“BV the wav, Sister, remember to remind me earlier next time. I made a
mistake this time. I didn’t expect Mother to be so ruthless. Fortunately, she left me ten copper coins.” Chu Jin alternated between happiness and sadness. “My throat is hoarse from coughing, but you didn’t hear me.” Chu Ziluo rolled her eyes.
Chu Jin waved his hand. “Sister, you don’t understand. I made a mistake this time. I won’t make the same mistake next time.”
“Then you have to be careful next time.” Chu Ziluo did not believe that her thick-skinned brother could fool her mother. Her mother was just indulging him on purpose. However, she was relieved to see that her brother was slowly letting go of the matter and was not angry with her mother.
It turned out that his brother only liked shiny things, such as gold, and was not really greedy..
