Rebirth of the Charming Girl in Space

Chapter 75:

Spewing blood

Grandma Sun nodded, "Yes, it was me."

“I would like to ask those present to recall, after Granny Sun ordered the search of the room, how long did it take before Aunt Du said she found the purse?”

The women thought about it carefully, and a person who was with Mrs. Du at the time said, "I know. As soon as Granny Sun finished speaking, Mrs. Du ran to her with a purse and said that she had found the purse, and shouted that it was I found it on Mrs. Xiao's bed. I was still envious of her for having made a meritorious service in front of Granny Sun, so I remember it very clearly."

Murong Lingran thanked her sincerely: "Thank you very much, Auntie."

“I have another question. Did anyone here see with their own eyes that Aunt Du took out the purse from my mother’s bed?”

Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads.

Murong Lingran turned around and stared at Du Shi with sharp eyes: "Aunt Du, should you explain why you can accurately find the location of the purse in just one sentence? Why didn't anyone see you find the purse? What was the process?"

"That...that's because I was lucky. They were only looking for the purse at that time, so how could they care about me?"

Murong Lingran took a look at her whole body, and her face suddenly grew serious, "How lucky? I don't think so. If you can take out the purse to present it to Granny Sun so quickly to claim credit, it is most likely that you already knew the location of the purse, or... That purse was most likely on your person at the time!"

Du Shi was startled and said excitedly: "Don't spit on others!"

Murong Lingran looked at her fat belly and suddenly smiled: "Am I being slanderous? Just now you said that my mother is the most in need of money, but in my opinion, you should be the most in need of money here."

A cold sweat suddenly broke out on Du Shi's back, "You...don't talk nonsense, my family's situation is a hundred times better than yours!"

"A hundred times better? Then why do you hide your lunch in your clothes? Isn't it because your family is in trouble and the food at home is not as good as Xiuzhuang, so you want to take the food from Xiuzhuang back to your family?"

As soon as the words fell, there was an uproar.

A woman took a look at Du's belly and saw only the same few rings of fat as usual. She said doubtfully: "It shouldn't be possible. Du's husband is a butcher. The most important thing in the family is meat. How could he be interested in it, the food at Xiuzhuang?"

“Yes, you see Du Shi is so fat, how could she lack some meat?”

“You think too highly of the butcher. If her conditions were really good, how could she be allowed to work here?”

　　　…”

Listening to everyone's discussion, Murong Lingran said helplessly: "If you don't believe it, take out the things in her clothes and you will know whether what I said is true."

Grandma Sun glanced at Du's belly and saw that her face suddenly turned pale, and she immediately became concerned.

She took out the things from her arms, and a chicken drumstick fell to the ground along with a handkerchief.

“Chicken legs? Isn’t this what we just had for lunch?”

“Yes, does Mrs. Du want to keep it and take it back? Does her family lack such things?”

"She also has a son who is less than five years old. Is it for the child?"

Hearing this, every one of the onlookers seemed to understand something, and their eyes when looking at Du Shi changed.

Grandma Sun said with a cold face: "Mrs. Du, tell me why did you hide the chicken leg on your body?"

This Du Shi has so much fat on her belly that even a chicken drumstick hidden inside doesn’t leave any trace at all.
