Chapter 327 Money was stolen
Li Luo smiled as he opened the envelope. When he saw the contents, he looked at Ling Xiaolei again and said, "Give our little Mao a snack today!"

"Yeah! Thank you, Mom. Long live Mom!" Ling Xiaolei was very satisfied with Li Luo's reaction, and Li Luo's suggestion was exactly what Ling Xiaolei wanted. After all, there was only one word in Ling Xiaolei's life, and that was "eating"!
Ling Xiaoguang couldn't help being curious and came to Li Luo's side: "Wow, brother is awesome! Your article was actually published in the newspaper!"

Ling Xiaolei cockily made an “eight” sign under his chin, as if to say, “I’m handsome, aren’t I?”

"How about it, brother? I am also very good. Teacher Ansheng even gave me two big unity cards, saying it was my royalties!"

Ling Xiaoguang smiled and said, "Then my younger brother can treat my older brother to a big meal in the future."

"No problem, leave it to me!" Ling Xiaolei patted his chest proudly.

"What's going on? Why is it so lively at home?" Ling Zhuoqun took off his coat and came to the few people.

"It's an essay written by Xiao Mao. The newspaper solicited it and gave him 20 yuan as a manuscript fee."

"Our Xiao Mao has made great progress. These twenty yuan are enough for him to buy hundreds of strings of candied haws." Ling Zhuoqun smiled and touched Ling Xiaolei's head.

"I want to give all this money to my mother. If she hadn't taught me, I wouldn't have been able to write this article." Ling Xiaolei set his sights on Li Luo.

Li Luo smiled and said, "Our little Mao is really sensible. But mom won't take the money. It's earned by your own efforts, so you can use it as you wish."

Ling Xiaolei looked at his brother and father again and found that they had no objection, so he collected the money and said, "No matter what the family wants to buy, they can use my money to buy it!"

With money on him, Ling Xiaolei's steps became even more arrogant. In less than half an hour, the whole class knew that Ling Xiaolei had made money in the newspaper. Ling Xiaolei even took out the money and showed it in front of his classmates.

"Wow, Xiaomao, you are so awesome! My father's monthly salary is not even this much." Erya cast an envious look at Ling Xiaolei.

"Humph, you can just write a crappy article, but you can actually make money from it? I don't believe it. I don't think your parents gave you this money. After all, your family is rich, so it's not impossible for you to just take out twenty dollars."

Ling Xiaolei raised his eyebrows: "I think you are just jealous."

"Jealous? What are you jealous of? Are you jealous that you can come up with twenty dollars? Don't talk about you, I can also come up with twenty dollars." Tiedan on the side said disdainfully.

"Xiao Mao, here!" Outside the classroom door, it was Lin Mo waving at him.

"Uncle!" Ling Xiaolei ran out of the door excitedly, "Uncle, why did you come to see me?"

"Of course I'm here to give you a chicken leg!" As he said that, Lin Mo produced a chicken leg from behind and handed it to Ling Xiaolei.

"Where is my brother? Is he okay?" Even though the chicken leg was delivered to Ling Xiaolei, Ling Xiaolei was still thinking about Ling Xiaoguang.

"Don't worry, your brother's share won't be missing. Huh? Why are there so many people on your side?" Lin Mo wondered.

"Uncle, you may not know this yet, but my article won a prize. Just now, all those people were surrounding me and congratulating me. I also made 20 yuan. Then we can go to the store to buy candy!"

"Hahaha, then I'll be waiting for your good news. The class bell is about to ring, so I'll go back first."

However, when Ling Xiaolei returned to his seat, he found that his schoolbag had been turned out and the inside of the bag was clean.

"Who is it? Who took my twenty dollars?" Ling Xiaolei immediately ran away and looked at the people around him. However, no one admitted who took their money.

"Xiao Mao, class is about to start, stop making trouble." The classmate at the side urged.

When Ling Xiaolei took the money, his deskmate went to the toilet, so he didn't know that Ling Xiaolei had limited money on him. Ling Xiaolei could only give up for the time being. Although he was anxious, he couldn't delay the teacher's class.

Ling Xiaolei sat there, but his mind was no longer on the class. Even though the teacher called his name twice, there was no way to help Ling Xiaolei come back to his senses.

"Ling Xiaolei, you are not paying attention in class. What do you want to do? Don't think that just because your article was selected by the newspaper, you can be superior to others and look down on others."

Ling Xiaolei felt very aggrieved after being scolded. It was already unfortunate that his money was stolen, but he did not expect that the teacher would not stand by him and even blame him. Ling Xiaolei could not hold back and burst into tears.

I have never felt so aggrieved before.

However, Ling Xiaolei still endured it. What he wanted to do was to catch the thief who stole his money instead of arguing with the teacher during class.

However, when analyzing the situation, Ling Xiaolei was in a dilemma, because suspecting the other party for no reason would be a great insult to the other party.

In the evening, Ling Xiaolei could only return home with a tired face.

"What's wrong, Xiaomao? Didn't your article just get accepted by the newspaper? Why are you feeling melancholy so soon?"

Li Luo was a little confused and didn't know why Ling Xiaolei was so dejected.

Ling Xiaolei couldn't hold it in any longer: "Mom, my money was stolen at school!"

"Don't cry, don't cry. Have you looked carefully to see if you put it somewhere?" Li Luo said slowly.

Ling Xiaolei shook his head: "I have been looking for it for a long time, but I just haven't seen my money."

"It must be our class's little iron pillar. He is always sneaky, and he was the closest to my schoolbag at that time. When he left, he seemed to look at me in a very strange way."

"We can't just convict the other party so easily. What if it's not him/her? Wouldn't that be wrongly accusing him/her?" Li Luo said earnestly.

"But...but I can't just throw this money away in vain."

Li Luo blinked his eyes, already having some thoughts in mind.

"When you are in class, you should say that your money accidentally fell on the ground and ask if anyone has picked it up. If someone has picked it up, you can return it to the owner during physical education class."

"But, can I just give up on the matter of my money being stolen so easily?" Ling Xiaolei still felt a little unconvinced.

"This is done to give the other party a way out. What you need to solve now is just to get the money back. Besides, we are all classmates. If that person is found to have stolen something, no one will want to play with her anymore."

"You are still young now. If he is just temporarily obsessed with you, and you reveal his true appearance later, he might even be jealous of you."
