Chapter 328 Self-exposure
"Mom, then I can't get my money back?" Ling Xiaolei felt very aggrieved.

"Of course you have to get it back, but this matter is not for you to solve by yourself. You need to ask Teacher Ansheng to help you get it back."

Ling Xiaolei nodded as if he understood, but still listened to Li Luo and reported the matter to Lu Ansheng.

When Lu Ansheng heard the news, he was also shocked. He walked into the classroom with a stern face, then put the book on the desk and glanced at the students around him.

"Recently, a terrible incident happened in our class. Fifty yuan from Ling Xiaolei in our class was stolen in full view of everyone!"

"It is very sad that something like this happened in our class. In my heart, you are all good children. I will investigate this matter thoroughly and will not let Ling Xiaolei's money be lost for no reason."

"But the teacher also hopes that the person can take the initiative to stand up and admit his mistake to the teacher. The teacher promises that he will keep the secret for that student."

"When you are young, you steal needles. When you grow up, you steal gold. This is bad behavior. This time we are lucky, thinking that the teacher and classmates didn't find out it was me, but what if we get caught?"

"Think about your parents, think about the people around you. Can you bear the strange looks others give you?"

"But if you can correct your mistakes, you are a good child. The teacher is willing to give good children a chance to correct them. That's all the teacher has to say. Let's continue the lesson."

While Lu Ansheng was saying these words, his eyes were constantly scanning the children in the class. Erya looked at Ling Xiaolei, then accidentally made eye contact with Lu Ansheng, then lowered her head guiltily and looked in the direction of Xiaopang.

When the get out of class was over, Erya was very hesitant. She felt that what the teacher said made sense and wanted to explain the situation to Lu Ansheng, but Xiaopang warned her that if she dared to tell anyone, he would be rude to her...

In the end, Erya finally plucked up the courage and said these words to Lu Ansheng.

"The teacher knows about this. You should go back first and don't tell anyone else. The teacher will handle it." Lu Ansheng comforted Erya.

Erya nodded and returned to the classroom, but her classmates all looked at her strangely.

"See what I said? Erya went to the teacher to turn herself in. It was Erya who stole the money!" Xiaopang stood in front of Erya's seat, shaking fifty yuan in his hand, and accused.

The classmates in the class cast unfriendly eyes on Erya: "Everyone, don't play with Erya. I didn't expect Erya to be a thief. Fifty yuan, their family can't even afford so much money without food or drink!"

When others were blaming Erya, Xiaopang showed a triumphant smile and looked at Erya provocatively. His expression seemed to say: I knew you would tell the teacher, so I took the initiative to frame this matter on you, let's see how you can argue!

Arya shook her head desperately: "No, it's not me!"

"You still say it's not you. The money was taken out of your schoolbag. How could it not be you?" Xiaopang insisted that it was Erya who stole Ling Xiaolei's money.

Ling Xiaolei looked at Erya and didn't believe in his heart that Erya could do such a thing, but the money was indeed found out from Xiaopang's schoolbag.

After Erya left, Xiaopang gathered everyone together in a serious manner: "Look, the direction Erya is heading is not the teacher's office? Ling Xiaolei, could it be that Erya stole your money?"

"Impossible." Ling Xiaolei was very sure and denied Xiaopang's words outright.

“If you don’t believe me, why don’t we just search her schoolbag?” Xiaopang came to Erya’s seat and took Erya’s schoolbag in his hand.

"Xiao Pang, this is Erya's privacy, you can't touch it!" Ling Xiaolei grabbed Xiao Pang's hand. But at this moment, Xiao Pang's hand loosened, Erya's schoolbag fell to the ground, and the books were scattered all over the floor. The fifty yuan just lay quietly on Erya's scattered books.

"Look, what did I say? Erya is obviously guilty. As soon as the teacher said that, she went to admit to the teacher that she did it." Xiaopang continued to gloat.

Erya bit her lip and looked at Xiaopang resentfully: "You are the villain who complains first! This money is obviously..."

"It's obviously you, but you still want to throw dirty water on me? It was you who sat in Xiaomao's seat before, why don't you dare to admit it now?"

Arya was now speechless, and the classmates around her had already started to make a noise: "Three hands, Arya actually has three hands!"

"It's not me, it's not me..." Arya hugged her head and cried bitterly.

"You all shut up! I was the one who lost the money, and I haven't said anything yet, but you're judging me like it's you who lost the money."

"Besides, this is not the money I lost. This is the money I gave to Erya." Ling Xiaolei stood in front of Erya and shielded her from the unfriendly gaze.

"Xiao Mao, where did you get so much money? Besides, why did you give Erya so much money?" Xiaopang didn't believe Ling Xiaoguang's excuse.

"This is what my mother asked me to bring to Erya. It's Erya's mother's salary." Ling Xiaolei said seriously.

"I don't believe it! Erya is from Anhe Village. Your mother can send the money to Anhe Village. Why does she want you to bring the money to Erya?"

"Of course it's because my mother had to stay at home to look after my sister and couldn't leave, so she asked me to bring it to Erya and let Erya take it home."

"It's you, Xiaopang, who just rummaged through other people's things. Besides, how did you know that Erya had fifty yuan here?" Ling Xiaolei's eyes narrowed and he pointed the finger at Xiaopang.

Xiao Pang was suddenly questioned by Ling Xiaolei and couldn't react immediately: "I, I saw that it was Erya who stole the money!"

"But it's obvious that Erya didn't steal the money. I said, I gave it to Erya." Ling Xiaolei did not give in at all.

"Impossible, you didn't even come to Erya's place today, so how could you give her money?"

"Then how did you know there was money in her schoolbag when you were in front of her?"

"Of course it's in my hand..." Xiaopang suddenly realized his slip of the tongue and quickly covered his mouth.

"What do you have in your hand? Could it be that you are the one who put this money there? Xiaopang, does your family also have to pay Erya and the others a salary?" Ling Xiaolei blinked and sneered at Xiaopang.

"I, I'm not, I didn't!" Xiaopang's voice revealed his guilty conscience.

"Brother Xiaomao, I didn't steal your money." Erya saw Ling Xiaolei who had been standing in front of her and trying to help her out. She grabbed Ling Xiaolei's collar and spoke in a low voice.

"It was Xiaopang. He took your money. I saw it. He threatened me and wouldn't let me tell anyone. Besides, the teacher also said that this matter couldn't be made public..."
