My happy life in a courtyard house with triplets.

Chapter 339: Qin Huairu is wrongly accused of stealing money

She wanted to say she found the money, but who would believe that? Finding money in the yard and quietly putting it in one's pocket is already a breach of the law.

The more anxious she became, the less she could speak. Seeing this, Jia Zhangshi was extremely pleased and grabbed her, trying to pull her outside: "Come on! Take her to the police station!"

Upon hearing that they were going to the police station, Qin Huairu was so frightened that she backed away repeatedly: "No! Please, I don't want to go to the police station!"

Yan Fugui stopped Jia Zhangshi in time: "Jia Zhangshi, don't be impulsive. Let's handle this matter within the courtyard. Calling the police will only make things worse."

Qin Huairu nodded hastily, as if grasping at a straw: "Yes! The courtyard will handle the matters within the courtyard!"

Jia Zhangshi stared at her: "So you admit you stole the money?"

Qin Huairu shook her head vehemently: "No! I found this money!"

But no one present believed him.

Just then, a loud shout came from behind: "Stop! What are you all doing?!"

Everyone turned around and saw that He Daqing had returned.

All eyes were on He Daqing, filled with curiosity, doubt, and schadenfreude.

He Daqing immediately noticed that Qin Huairu's hair was disheveled and there were marks on her face from being hit. He rushed over and shoved Jia Zhangshi aside.

He helped Qin Huairu up with concern, asking, "Huairu, what's wrong? Are you alright?"

Upon seeing He Daqing, Qin Huairu instantly broke down, bursting into tears: "Daqing, you've finally come! They've wronged me!"

Seeing Qin Huairu's aggrieved and helpless appearance, He Daqing was furious. He turned around, walked up to Jia Zhangshi, raised his hand, and slapped Jia Zhangshi hard across the face.

Jia Zhangshi was stunned for a moment after being hit, then she flew into a rage, cursing, "He Daqing, you bastard! How dare you hit me! Your wife is a thief, and you're no better than him!"

He Daqing's eyes widened in anger: "You dare to wrong my wife? I'll teach you a lesson today!"

Startled, Jia Zhangshi quickly hid behind Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui.

Liu Haizhong, Xu Damao, and Yan Fugui immediately stepped forward to stop He Daqing.

Liu Haizhong advised, "He Daqing, calm down."

Yan Fugui chimed in, "Old He, this really can't be blamed on Jia Zhangshi."

He Daqing frowned deeply: "What exactly happened?"

Jia Zhangshi shouted from behind, "Your wife broke into my house and stole money! We have witnesses and evidence!"

He Daqing looked at Qin Huairu, who shook her head frantically: "No, I didn't steal the money. I found that ten yuan."

Xu Damao immediately pressed, "Where did you find it?"

Qin Huairu gritted her teeth: "In the Intermediate People's Court."

Upon hearing this, the crowd immediately booed.

He Daqing looked at Jia Zhangshi: "What makes you say the money she found is yours?"

Jia Zhangshi retorted confidently, "My money is marked!"

He Daqing's mind raced, and he immediately sensed something was amiss: "You're actually up to this? Marking the money?"

Jia Zhangshi was stumped by the question and stammered, unable to speak.

Yan Fugui quickly stepped forward to interrupt, picking up the money: "Old He, no matter how the mark came about, this money was found in Qin Huairu's pocket. Everyone saw it with their own eyes. It's not convincing to say that she didn't steal it."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Madam Jia Zhang also joined in the tantrum: "Yes! She stole it! I can mark it if I want, it's none of your business!"

He Daqing was at his wit's end. He knew in his heart that someone had deliberately set a trap for him.

He quietly pulled Qin Huairu aside and whispered, "Huairu, tell me the truth, where did this money come from?"

Qin Huairu cried, "Da Qing, I really found this money..."

He Daqing was both angry and helpless: "You picked up money in the yard and dared to put it directly in your pocket? Aren't you just giving them leverage against you?"

Qin Huairu also realized her mistake and was filled with regret: "I was out of my mind at the time, who knew they would come knocking on my door so quickly."

He Daqing knew perfectly well: they'd been set up. Jia Zhangshi wasn't that clever; it must have been Liu Haizhong, Yan Fugui, and Xu Damao behind this.

Without making a sound, he found a child, whispered a few words to him, and the child immediately ran away.

Xu Damao tried to step forward to stop him, but He Daqing blocked him.

Xu Damao said with displeasure, "He Daqing, what are you doing? Trying to tip us off?"

He Daqing said calmly, "The person is here, why should I send a message or report anything?"

Liu Haizhong didn't mind: "Never mind, it's just a child. Let's deal with the Jia family's affairs first."

He Daqing looked at everyone and said, "I asked Qin Huairu, and she did find the money. Saying she stole it is pure nonsense. Besides, my family doesn't need ten or eight yuan."

Liu Haizhong stepped forward to retort: ​​"He Daqing, don't change the subject. Ten yuan is not a small amount; we can't just let it go like this."

Xu Damao chimed in, "He Daqing, you're the eldest son, you can't just protect your family like this, can you? Everyone knows about the conflict between Qin Huairu and the Jia family."

Yan Fugui further pressured him, saying, "Old He, you might as well let Qin Huairu admit it. Otherwise, if Jia Zhangshi really calls the police, it won't be something the hospital can handle."

He Daqing knew in his heart that the other party was forcing him.

He had already sent the child to call Zhang Lei, so now he could only try to delay as much as possible.

He looked at everyone and said, "Don't worry, if it really was Huai Ru who did it, I will definitely give you all an explanation. But if it wasn't, no one should try to frame my family."

Meanwhile, at Zhang Lei's home.

The child who came running to Zhang Lei was out of breath: "An old man told you to go to the yard; there's a thief in the yard."

Zhang Lei was a little confused, but Ye Shuqin came over and advised, "Since He Daqing sent someone to call you, it must be an emergency. You should go and take a look."

Zhang Lei nodded: "Okay."

He quickly arrived at courtyard house number 95, and seeing that the front and middle courtyards were empty, he immediately ran to the back courtyard.

Upon arriving at the backyard, Zhang Lei was stunned—it was packed with people, three layers deep.

When everyone saw Zhang Lei arrive, their hearts skipped a beat.

Yan Fugui secretly thought to himself that things were going to get bad once Zhang Lei arrived.

Zhang Lei smiled and asked, "What are you all doing? A group activity? Can I join you?"

Jia Zhangshi immediately retorted, "Zhang Lei, this is none of your business, don't meddle!"

Xu Damao cursed Jia Zhangshi for being stupid in his heart. After he said that, Zhang Lei had no choice but to get involved.

Zhang Lei was so angry he laughed. He Daqing took the opportunity to walk quickly to his side and quietly explained the whole story.

After hearing this, Zhang Lei gave a half-smile: "Really? Qin Huairu actually dared to steal money?"

When Qin Huairu saw Zhang Lei, it was like seeing a savior: "Zhang Lei, I didn't steal it! They're framing me!"

Zhang Lei's smile faded, and he looked at Jia Zhangshi: "Are you sure the money is yours, and that Qin Huairu stole it?"
