Chapter 282 The watch is missing

Lu Jiajie went on a long trip in the morning and forgot to wear his watch because he was in such a hurry. When he came back a week later, the watch was missing.

Ma Lili heard that his watch was missing and helped to find it, but she rummaged through the drawers and wardrobe and couldn't find it.

The house was not found and I went to the child's room to look for it, but still found nothing. Ma Lili asked: "Did you leave it outside? How come you disappeared if you were at home?"

Lu Jiajie said: "I got on the bus and wanted to check the time and found that I wasn't wearing a watch. How could I leave it outside. Qiangqiang, Xiaofeng, have you seen dad's watch?"

 Qiangqiang and Xiaofeng both said they did not see the watch.

 Lu Jiajie remembers very clearly that he would have to stay at home without wearing a watch when he went out. It was a watch and not a person who could still fly with long legs.

It’s already past six o’clock, and Mrs. Song has gone home. When Lu Jiajie came over early the next morning, he asked her: "Auntie, did you see my watch when you were cleaning my house?"

Mrs. Song nodded and said, "I saw it. It fell on the ground. I picked it up and put it on the bedside table when I was cleaning it up. I didn't see it when I was cleaning it up the next day. Why, didn't Lili help put it away?"

 Ma Lili said that she did not see the watch.

Mrs. Song's expression changed, and her voice became a little anxious: "That's impossible. I put the watch on the bedside table, how could it be missing?"

Lu Jiajie looked at her and said hurriedly: "Aunt Song, you have worked in my house for so long, and we all know what kind of person you are. Aunt Song, if you think about it again, should you put it somewhere else?"

Mrs. Song shook her head and her voice became urgent: "I remember it very clearly. I picked up the watch and put it on the bedside table that day. There is no way I can remember it wrong."

 If something is at home, it is impossible for it to disappear. Lu Jiajie suddenly asked: "Aunt Song, did you have any guests at home that day?"

Aunt Song was about to say no, but suddenly she paused and looked a little hesitant.

Lu Jiajie said: "Madam, my watch is a famous brand and cost more than 6,000 yuan."

When Aunt Song heard this, she no longer hesitated and said, "When I left, your father-in-law and mother-in-law came over with their grandson."

Ma Lili's face instantly turned ugly: "Aunt Song, what do you mean? You lost your watch and actually slandered my parents."

Aunt Song was so angry that her face turned green. She did not accept this injustice and said: "I just said that your parents came with their grandson, and I didn't say anything else. Maybe the child was surprised when he saw the watch, picked it up to play with, and put it somewhere else. Why did you slander your parents?"

Ma Lili said: "What you said just now, didn't you just allude to my parents?"

Lu Jiajie believed in Aunt Song, otherwise he would not have invited her in the first place. Moreover, Aunt Song has been working from home for more than a year without any problems. On the contrary, Ma Jixiang stole the family's money to buy snacks.

Mrs. Song immediately made a poisonous oath and said: "If I take Jiajie's watch, my hands, feet, intestines and stomach will be cut off..."

Lu Jiajie interrupted her quickly and said, "Madam, don't be like this. I believe the missing watch has nothing to do with you."

Mrs. Song's eyes were a little red and she said: "Jiajie, this matter must be investigated clearly, and I cannot be allowed to bear this innocent injustice."

“Don’t worry, I will definitely find out.”

Aunt Song took off her apron and said: "Ajie, I don't dare to stay in your house anymore, so you don't have to rely on me if you lose something later. Don't worry, I won't go anywhere until the matter is cleared up. I'll stay at A Le's house." wait."

 With what Ma Lili said today, she was not willing to continue doing it. Although Lu Jiajie's salary was good, it was not difficult to find work now, so he didn't feel so cowardly.

Lu Jiajie personally sent her back to Alek's house and apologized to Alekniang. Al-Niang knew she couldn't blame him, but her tone was angry: "Ajie, my eldest sister never takes a needle from other people's houses, so she can't bear this grievance for nothing."

Lu Jiajie said: "When I find out about this matter, I will bring Lili to apologize to my aunt."

Mrs. Song waved her hands and said, "I don't dare to ask her to apologize to me, lest she go around calling me a thief."

Lu Jiajie said a lot of good things before Mrs. Song's expression softened.

Just when he was about to leave, Aunt Song stopped him again: "Jiajie, there are some things that I think are between your families and I don't want to talk about them. Today I will say more. Your wife often buys you for her children. Take your things back to your parents’ house.”

 When Lu Jiajie comes back from a business trip, he will buy clothes, snacks, and physical supplements for his children. The child was white and tender, and the clothes were bought by him, so I didn’t ask.

 Leaving Ale's home, Lu Jiajie thought about it and went directly to the school to find Ma Jixiang. Nowadays, the control is not as strict as that of later generations. Knowing that he is Ma Jixiang's uncle, the teacher agrees to let him take people out.

 Bringing the person outside, Lu Jiajie looked at Ma Jixiang and asked, "Where is my watch?"

Ma Jixiang’s eyes shrank, but he said he didn’t know what he was talking about.

Lu Jiajie was sure that he had the watch just by looking at him. He slapped it down and asked fiercely, "Tell me, where is my watch?"

Ma Jixiang covered his face and cried loudly.

Seeing how cruel he was, a passerby stepped forward and said, "Comrade, if a child is disobedient, he must be disciplined, but he cannot be beaten like this, as it will break the child."

Lu Jiajie said with a dark face: "He stole my watch. That watch cost more than 6,000 yuan. I don't know where the watch has gone yet. Do you think it should be beaten?"

Once the passers-by heard this, they did not dare to persuade him anymore. He dared to steal more than 6,000 watches and still refused to tell the truth. He deserved to be beaten to death.

Lu Jiajie slapped him down again, and the other side of Ma Jixiang's face became swollen: "Tell me, where is the watch? If you don't tell me, I'll beat you to death."

Seeing that he was really going to beat himself to death, Ma Jixiang didn't dare to cry. He sobbed and said, "I, I sold it."

 “Where was it sold?”

 “Sell, sell to the canteen.”

 “How much did it sell for?”

 “Sold for fifty yuan.”

Lu Jiajie took Ma Jixiang to the canteen and asked the boss for a watch. Unexpectedly, the boss refused to admit it and said that he had never confiscated Ma Jixiang's watch.

Ma Jixiang never expected that his boss would not admit it, so he shouted anxiously: "It was obviously you who bought the watch. I asked for one hundred yuan, but you said the watch was only worth fifty yuan. I bought popsicles and soda. So you only gave me forty-nine and fifty cents."

 The boss denied it and said that there was no such thing and that it was all made up by Ma Jixiang.

Lu Jiajie said with a gloomy face: "I bought this watch last year for 6,800 yuan, and I still have the invoice and receipt. If you return the watch to me, I will give you 100 yuan, and this matter will be over. . When I call the police and the police check the table and find out, I will make it impossible for you to open this store."

The boss also saw that he looked like he was about to eat someone, and he also became frightened: "Oh, look at my memory. I did collect a watch last Tuesday. Just wait, I will find it for you."

Lu Jiajie didn’t bother with the boss after getting the watch. After giving the boss one hundred yuan, he threw Ma Jixiang back to school.
